Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

1.	Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business – Dominion Minerals Corp. (“Company”) was incorporated January 4, 1996, under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company is engaged in the exploration of precious and base metals including gold and copper. The current potential property under exploration is located in the Republic of Panama (“Panama”).

From September 2005 to November 2007, the Company changed its name 4 times to reflect the changing business plans. The original name of the Company was ObjectSoft Corporation. In June 2005, the name was changed to Nanergy, Inc. In June 2006, the name was changed to Xacord Corp., in January 2007, the name was changed to Empire Minerals Corp, and in November 2007, the name was changed to its current name, Dominion Minerals Corp.

Basis of presentation – The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2017, the consolidated results of its operations for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Empire Minerals Corp, a Nevada Corporation and Cuprum Resources Corp., a Panamanian Corporation. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is currently in a stage which is characterized by significant expenditures for the examination and development of exploration opportunities by its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries’ focus for the foreseeable future will continue to be on securing joint venture agreements to begin conducting mining operations.

Management has included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented.

Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. The significant estimates made in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the fair value of various accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents – For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has a cash balance of $0 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which is included in cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of risk – Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits in financial institutions that do not exceed the amounts insured by the U.S. government. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s bank balances did not exceed government-insured limits.

The Company has an investment in copper mining activities in Panama. Accordingly, the Company’s mining business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in Panama, and by the general state of their economies. The Company’s foreign operations are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in the United States. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

Net loss per share – In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings/loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings/loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Under ASC 260, diluted earnings/loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and dilutive. The total amount of additional shares that would be added on a fully diluted basis at June 30, 2017 and 2016 is 45,201,990 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Income Taxes – The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted income tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that management believes is more likely than not to be realized. The provision for federal income tax differs from that computed amount by applying federal statutory rates to income before federal income tax expense mainly due to expenses that are not deductible and income that is not taxable for federal income taxes, including permanent differences such as non-deductible meals and entertainment.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation – The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. ASC 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options. Option-pricing models require the input of highly complex and subjective variables including the expected life of options granted and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over a period equal to or greater than the expected life of the options. Because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated value of the Company’s employee stock options, it is management’s opinion that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined by using an option-pricing model,,that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The Company’s volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock or the expected volatility of similar companies. The expected life assumption is primarily based on historical exercise patterns and employee post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Further, for stock, options, and warrants issued to service providers and founders, the Company follows ASC 505-50-30-11 (previously EITF 96-18) which requires recording the options and warrants at the fair value of the service provided and expensing over the related service periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

2.	Going Concern

The Company has had no revenues or cash flows from operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $42,600,930 and $42,285,772 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and has insufficient sources of cash to execute its business plan, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, management is continuing to seek both debt and equity financing from various sources, although there are no guarantees that they will be successful in their endeavors. No adjustment has been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.

3.	Convertible Note Payable and Short Term Loan

On November 27, 2009, Dominion Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) entered into and closed on a Convertible Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to sell to non-US persons the convertible note due 2010 (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a total purchase price of $2,000,000.

The Note matured one year after the date of issuance. The Note pays interest at a rate of 2.28% per annum, which is payable at maturity, and is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $0.10 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for certain events, including the dividends, distributions or split of the Company’s Common Stock, or in the event of the Company’s consolidation, merger or reorganization. In the event of a conversion, accrued interest shall be automatically converted into common stock. In addition, the Company has the right to prepay the entire outstanding principal due under the Notes upon a three business day notice.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Note are secured by the pledge of 5,000,000 shares of Cuprum Resources Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Cuprum”), owned by the Company pursuant to a Pledge Agreement dated as of November 30, 2009 by and among the Company, Cuprum and the investor. The pledged shares represent all of the issued and outstanding equity shares of Cuprum.

Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock expired one year from the closing of the Note.

On May 3, 2010, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Panama declared the Company’s Mineral Concession as a Mining Reserve by posting a Resolution in the Gaceta Oficial of Panama. Pursuant to the Resolution, no further exploration activities are to be performed on the concession site. The Company has disputed the declaration and Resolution by MICI and has commenced legal action against the Republic of Panama. Accordingly, the Company notified the Note Holder of such events and how it relates to their inability to perform pursuant to the terms of the Concession Agreement and subsequently the terms of the Note, to support its claim of a force majeure and its inability to repay the Note. To date, because of the Company’s inability to resume exploration activities on the Mineral Concession, the Company has been unable to repay the Note and the Note Holder has not converted the Note. The Company incurred interest expense in the amounts of $22,806 as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total amount due for the Convertible Note payable is $2,345,968 and $2,300,356, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2017

On July 1, 2013, the Company executed 4 Convertible Promissory Notes (“Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate amount of $75,000. The Convertible Promissory Notes were payable in 1 year, bearing interest at a rate of 1% annum for the term of the note. On November 1, 2014, the Company and each Note Holder entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the Notes to the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the date of any award granted to the Company in the litigation action between the Company and the Republic of Panama. The Holders of the Convertible Promissory Notes may convert the principal amount for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the aggregate of 7.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company incurred interest expense in the amounts of $375 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total amounts due for the Convertible Promissory Notes is $78,000 and $77,625, respectively.

4.	Contingent Liability

On June 18, 2015, the Company entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement (“LFA”) with Therium Capital Management Limited (“Therium”), to fund its litigation against the Republic of Panama. The terms of the LFA allow for funding of up to $8,000,000 of the Company’s litigation costs and require repayment of 2.5 times of the amount funded to the Company for such legal costs. The Company will be required to share a percentage of any amount awarded to the Company with Therium. In addition to the litigation costs funded, Therium has directly funded the Company certain operating expenses which shall be repaid under the same terms as the litigation costs funded by Therium. The Company has recorded such advances as a Contingent Liability. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Therium advanced the Company a total of $115,000 and $62,375 for operating expenses which the Company recorded as a Contingent Liability. The Company will only be required to repay such expenses in the event of an award to the Company.

5.	Shareholders’ equity

The Company is authorized to issue 705,000,000 shares: 700,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has 101,453,678 shares of common stock outstanding and 200 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding.

The Company’s authorized Series A preferred stock consists of 200 shares and has relative rights, preferences, privileges and limitations as follows:

The Series A has a super voting right in that it votes together with the common stock and any other class of stock entitled to vote with the common stock all as a single class, with each 100 shares of Series A entitled to 40% of all votes to be cast on any matter;

The Series A is not convertible and is not entitled to any dividends or any distribution in liquidation of the Company;

The Series A is not transferable in any manner without the unanimous vote of the Company’s Board of Directors;

Without the unanimous consent of the holders of the Series A stock, there shall not be any change made to the Rights of the Series A or to create any stock with equal or superior voting right to the Series A stock or authorize any additional shares of Series A stock; and

Upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO by the Company, the Series A stock shall be automatically cancelled and returned to the status of undersigned authorized but unissued preferred stock. “Qualified IPO” means the sale of common stock of the Company in an underwritten public offering or resale registration under the Securities Act of 1933 which results in the Company having a market capitalization in excess of $100,000,000, based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for 10 consecutive trading days.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

	June 30, 2017			June 30, 2016
Net operating loss	$	315,158		$	328,360
Adjustment for unpaid accrued salaries		(241,602	)		(282,250	)
Adjusted net operating loss		73,556			46,110
Effective income tax rate		40	%		40	%
Total deferred tax assets		29,422			18,444
Less: valuation allowance		(29,422	)		(18,444	)
Total deferred tax assets		-		$	-

The Company’s deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of $17,040,372 and $16,914,309, respectively, was fully offset by a valuation allowance, resulting in net deferred tax assets of $0 because of the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize the net operating loss carry-forward against future earnings.

The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate for the period ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 is as follows:

	2017			2016
Federal income tax rate		34	%		34	%
State tax, net of federal benefit		6	%		6	%
Increase in valuation allowance		(40	)%		(40	)%
Effective income tax rate		-	%		-	%

The deferred tax assets result from net operating loss carry-forwards. These assets will therefore reverse either upon their utilization against taxable income or upon their statutory expiration. Net operating loss carry-forwards will expire beginning in 2026 through 2035.

The Company’s last tax return submitted was for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2016 are open for examination by the tax federal and state tax authorities.

Commitments and contingencies – On December 1, 2007, the Company entered into Employment Agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The agreements have terms of five years and three years, respectively. The agreements are automatically renewed for one-year term unless the Company or Executive gives 90 days prior written notice to terminate the agreement.

Legal Proceedings – On December 5, 2013, the Company notified the Panamanian government of the Company’s intent to initiate arbitration proceedings under the U.S.-Panama Bilateral Investment Treaty (“U.S.-Panama BIT”) and the US.-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement (“U.S.-Panama TPA”). As the Panamanian government has not responded to the Company’s requests to discuss a negotiated settlement, The Company has filed a formal Request for Arbitration at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) on March 30, 2016. The Company is seeking relief in the amount of $268.3 million in the arbitration. There can be no assurance that it will be successful or recover any amount.

The dispute involves the Panamanian government’s interference with the Company’s investment in the mining concession. Cuprum owns the exploration rights to the Cerro Chorcha concession. As discussed above, the Panamanian Ministry of Commerce and Industry (“MICI”) was named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Cesar Salazar in December 2009, which led to the “provisional suspension” on all actions involving the Cerro Chorcha. Awaiting resolution of the lawsuit, the Company filed an application for an extension of its exploration rights in March 2010, one month before the initial exploration concession was to expire. However, despite the provisional suspension placed on the Cerro Chorcha, the Panamanian government designated the Cerro Chorcha as a “mining reserve” in April 2010 without considering the Company’s extension request, with the purpose and intent of reverting ownership of the concession to the Panamanian government. Furthermore, the Panamanian government subsequently passed legislation that annulled existing mining concessions in the area encompassing Cerro Chorcha in March 2013. The Company believes that these actions of the Panamanian government are unlawful and contravene Panama’s international obligations under the U.S.-Panama BIT and the U.S.-Panama TPA.

On June 18, 2015, the Company entered into a Litigation Funding Agreement (“LFA”) with Therium Capital Management Limited, to fund its litigation against the Republic of Panama. The terms of the LFA allow for funding of up to $8,000,000 of the Company’s litigation costs and require repayment of 2.5 times of the amount funded to the Company for such legal costs. In addition, the Company will be required to share a percentage of any amount awarded to the Company with Therium.

9.	Subsequent Events

For the purpose of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, subsequent events have been evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued.

On August 11, 2017, the Company sold a convertible promissory note in the amount of $5,500.

As the Panamanian government has not responded to the Company’s requests to discuss a negotiated settlement, The Company filed a formal request for arbitration at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) on March 29, 2016. This request was filed with the Secretary-General of the ICSID under the terms of the U.S.-Panama Bilateral Investment Treaty (the U.S.-Panama BIT). The Request for Arbitration is the result of the above mentioned longstanding dispute arising from Panama’s expropriation of Dominion’s substantial investment in the Cerro Chorcha mining concession. The status of the case today is pending. The Company and the Republic of Panama have selected a panel and awaiting dates for future hearings.

The Request for Arbitration sets forth Dominion’s claims as follows:

Panama’s actions amounted to an expropriation of Dominion’s investment within the meaning of Article IV of the U.S.-Panama BIT, as they had the effect of depriving Dominion of all or substantially all of its investment in Cerro Chorcha; and

Panama’s actions breached its obligations under Article II of the U.S.-Panama BIT to accord fair and equitable treatment to Dominion with respect to its investment in Cerro Chorcha.

The amount of relief that the Company is seeking in the Request of Arbitration is $268,300,000. There can be no assurance that it will be successful or recover any amount.

Current Status of the Company

The Company currently has two employees, which are its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report, neither of the employees is receiving the full amount of compensation due to them, due to a lack of available funds. The majority of the salaries due to the employees have been deferred by mutual agreement between the Company and the employees. The Company is negotiating funding arrangements from several existing investors.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the Company or the Nevada Subsidiary nor any of their property is a party or subject to any pending legal proceeding. The Company is not aware of any contemplated or threatened legal proceeding against it or the Nevada Subsidiary by any governmental authority or other party.

The dispute involves the Panamanian government’s interference with the Company’s investment in the mining concession. Cuprum owns the exploration rights to the Cerro Chorcha concession. The Panamanian Ministry of Commerce and Industry (“MICI”) was named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Cesar Salazar in December 2009, which led to the “provisional suspension” on all actions involving the Cerro Chorcha. Awaiting resolution of the lawsuit, the Company filed an application for an extension of its exploration rights in March 2010, one month before the initial exploration concession was to expire. However, despite the provisional suspension placed on the Cerro Chorcha, the Panamanian government designated the Cerro Chorcha as a “mining reserve” in April 2010 without considering the Company’s extension request, with the purpose and intent of reverting ownership of the concession to the Panamanian government. Furthermore, the Panamanian government subsequently passed legislation that annulled existing mining concessions in the area encompassing Cerro Chorcha in March 2013. The Company believes that these actions of the Panamanian government are unlawful and contravene Panama’s international obligations under the U.S.-Panama BIT and the U.S.-Panama TPA.

The Request for Arbitration sets forth Dominion’s claims as follows:

Panama’s actions breached its obligations under Article II of the U.S.-Panama BIT to accord fair and equitable treatment to Dominion with respect to its investment in Cerro Chorcha.

The amount of relief that the Company is seeking in the Request of Arbitration is $268,300,000. There can be no assurance that it will be successful or recover any amount.
