Basis of Presentation and Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Tara Gold Resources Corp. (the Company) should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnote information are unaudited. In the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the condensed consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
Tara Gold Resources Corp. (formerly American Stellar Energy, Inc.) was incorporated on December 5, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Westnet Communication Group, which changed its name to Merchant Park Communications, Inc. on March 29, 2001, and then changed its name to American Stellar Energy, Inc. on May 6, 2004. By special resolution of the shareholders, American Stellar Energy, Inc. changed its name to Tara Gold Resources Corp. on February 9, 2005.
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties in United States of America and Mexico. In May 2005, the Company acquired 97% of common stock of Corporacion Amermin, S.A. de C.V., which operates in México. In May 2006, the Company established Tara Minerals Corp. as a wholly owned subsidiary.
As used in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the Company, we, us, our and similar terms refer to Tara Gold Resources Corp. and, unless the context indicates otherwise its consolidated subsidiaries. The Companies subsidiaries include Corporacion Amermin, S.A. de C.V., which operates in México (Amermin), the San Miguel joint venture (Note 5a), and Tara Minerals Corp.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Functional Currency
The subsidiarys functional currency is the U.S. dollar. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiary have been remeasured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting remeasurement loss is recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income.
The financial statements of the subsidiary should not be construed as representations that Mexican pesos have been, could have been or may in the future be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates.
Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements were of the subsidiary as follows (Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar):
| 2006 |
|
|
Current exchange rate at March 31 | Ps. 10.9228 |
Weighted average exchange rate for the year ended March 31 | Ps. 10.5887 |
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net income (loss), have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified approximately $13,000 out of Deposits and into Other Receivables, net, relating to the value-added tax paid on the La Millionaria project.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable securities. The Company had $999,000 and $0 in marketable securities at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. These marketable securities had a cost basis of $1,104,000. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive, we have accounted for unrealized gain (loss) as a component of other comprehensive income. An unrealized loss of $105,000 was recorded in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2006.
Earnings per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 Earnings Per Share which requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented. Basic earnings per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, convertible debt and other convertible securities.
The following table reconciles basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share and the related weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three month ended March 31, 2006:

Recent Accounting
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 addresses the requests from investors for expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (hereinafter SFAS No. 159). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Boards long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

At December 31, 2005, the final agreement for the San Miguel properties had not been finalized and we recorded the amount paid for the property of $116,805 as Deposits. Upon finalization of the agreement in the first quarter of 2006, we capitalized the entire property and applied the payments recorded in Deposits to the note payable.

In August 2005, the Company entered an agreement through our Mexican subsidiary Amermin with Paramount Gold Mining Corp. (Paramount) for the sale of an interest in a joint venture which includes the San Miguel mining concessions (San Miguel joint venture). As of March 31, 2006, Paramount made all payments in cash or stock as the agreement indicated to purchase their 35% interest in the San Miguel joint venture, resulting in a gain on the sale of joint venture interest of $1,065,500 to Tara Gold Resources Corp. The Company received total compensation of $1,104,000 in common stock and $400,000 (of which $150,000 was refunded in the second quarter of 2006) as of March 31, 2006.
In May 2006, Paramount paid the note holder of the San Miguel concessions the remaining amount of the note due, resulting in the note holder becoming Paramount in the second quarter of 2006. Paramount also paid the value-add tax for the property at this time. When the property was paid in full, we contributed the asset to the San Miguel Joint Venture.
As of December 31, 2006, due to the change in note holder status, the amount payable by the Company for the related debt for the San Miguel mining concession was $90,000. Also, as of December 31, 2006, the Company and Paramount agreed in principle that Paramount had earned a 55% interest in the joint venture.

These expenses have been fully reviewed by Company management and agreed to. As of March 31, 2007 the San Miguel joint venture ownership is 70% Paramount, 30% Tara Gold Resources Corp.
Both Paramount and Tara Gold Resources Corp. have joint control over the joint venture, with each partner one vote each as long as their original participation is maintained.

Paying Minas de Topago 1% of the value of the proven reserves and 0.5% of the value of the probable reserves of gold on the property.
On October 23, 2008 the proven and probable reserves of gold on the property will be calculated. The proven ounces of gold will be multiplied by 1% the probable ounces of gold will be multiplied by 0.5%.

In March 2002 Tara Golds discontinued its software development business and was inactive until early 2004 when it began acquiring and developing oil and gas properties. In 2005 Tara Gold sold its oil and gas properties after it determined that these properties were not economical.
In May 2005 Tara Gold began acquiring mining properties. As of June 30, 2007 Tara Gold had an interest in eleven mining properties in Mexico, including three properties owned by Tara Minerals, a subsidiary of Tara Gold.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 Tara Gold did not have any revenues.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005 Tara Gold was relatively inactive, having discontinued its oil and gas operations in early 2005. Consequently, general and administrative expenses for this period were minimal.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 Tara Gold was actively involved in investigating the feasibility of various mining properties, negotiating the terms for acquiring properties, and completing the acquisition of properties. As a result, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2006 were significantly higher than those during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006 Tara Golds operations used $(492,943) in cash. During this same period Tara Gold invested $58,583 in mining properties, made loan repayments of $62,500, and made a deposit of $40,096 toward the payment of a mining property. Tara Gold satisfied its cash requirements for the period primarily through:
·
loans from related parties
·
sale of its common stock, and
·
cash on hand at January 1, 2006
In May 2005 Tara Gold acquired one of its mining properties, the San Miguel prospect, from Minerva Navajoa, S.A. This prospect was purchased for $700,000, which amount had been paid as of June 30, 2006.
In August 2005 Tara Gold signed an agreement with Paramount Gold Mining Corp. providing Paramount the option to acquire a 35% interest in the San Miguel prospect by:
·
paying $400,000 to Tara Gold;
·
paying its proportionate share of all remaining payments to Minera Navojoa, S.A.;
·
issuing 300,000 shares of its common stock to Tara Gold;
19
As of March 31, 2006 Paramount had made all required payments, in cash or stock, to earn its 35% interest in the San Miguel prospect and Tara Gold recorded a gain of $1,065,000 on the sale of this interest.
As of March 31, 2006 or 2007 Tara Gold did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
Tara Gold anticipates that its capital requirements for the twelve months ending June 30, 2008 will be:
Payments for mining properties
$ 300,000
Mining exploration and development
$1,000,000
General and administrative expenses
$ 700,000
Total
$2,000,000
The capital requirements shown above do not include any capital required by Tara Minerals, Tara Golds subsidiary.
Tara Gold does not anticipate that it will need to hire any additional employees prior to December 31, 2007.
Tara Gold does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide Tara Gold with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, Tara Gold may continue to operate in its present mode or it may need to cease operations.
