NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business and principles of consolidation:

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Tara Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed, except as noted below.

Tara Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was organized May 12, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company currently is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties in Mexico.  The Company owns 99.9% of the common stock of American Metal Mining, S.A. de C.V. (“AMM”), which was established in December 2006 and operates in México. The Company also owns 88% of the common stock of Adit Resources Corp., which in turns owns 99.9% of American Copper Mining, S.A. de C.V. (“ACM”), which was established in December 2006 and operates in México.  Adit Resources Corp. (“Adit”) was organized in June 2009 and ACM was purchased in June 2009.  The Company currently has limited operations and, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Development Stage Entities Topic, is considered an Exploration Stage Company.

The Company is a subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources, Corp.

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, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, AMM, Adit and ACM. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The subsidiary’s functional currency is the Mexican Peso whereas the reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries 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 gain or loss is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

The financial statements of the all Mexico subsidiaries 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 for the subsidiary are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  (Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar).

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Each period we analyze our receivables for collectability.  When a receivable is determined to not be collectible we allow for the receivable until we are either assured of collection or assured that a write off is necessary.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 we have allowed $150,551 and $114,139, respectively, in association with our receivable from recoverable value added taxes from our Mexico subsidiaries as we have determined that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.

Mexican Income Tax Rates: Recoverable Value Added Taxes (IVA) and Income Tax (ISR)

Effective January1, 2010 the Mexican government increased Impuest al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) to 16% and Impuesto Sobre la Renta (ISR) to 30%. These financial statements reflect these increases.  Prior rates were 15% and 28%, respectively,

Reclassifications

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.  

Fair Value Accounting

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

9

Issued

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 2.

Property, plant, equipment, mine development and land

Pilar, Las Nuvias, Centenario and Don Roman, are all geographically located together in Mexico and are known as the Don Roman Groupings.

a.

In September 2006 another subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources Corp., the Company’s parent, acquired the Pilar de Mocoribo Prospect (“Pilar”) from an unrelated third party for $800,000 plus $120,000 of value added tax. This property was then assigned to AMM in January 2007. In June 2009, AMM and the note holder modified the agreement to return one mining concession under this agreement and reduce the purchase by $60,870 plus the related $9,130 of value added tax. The resulting purchase price of the remaining concessions is $739,130 plus $115,737 of value added tax. The Company is required to repay the other subsidiary of its parent for this mining concession $535,659 (which includes the applicable value added tax) which was due in 2009 but remained unpaid.

In accordance with the Interest Topic of FASB ASC, the future payments of the total payment amount of $739,130 have been discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of 5.01%. As of March 31, 2010, the present value of future payments is as follows:

10

Effective January 1, 2010 the Mexican government increased Impuest al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) to 16%.

b.

On January 8, 2007 the Company amended its October 2006 agreement to acquire the Don Roman Prospect (Don Roman) from an unrelated third party for $521,739 plus $78,261 of value added tax. The purchase price was paid in full in January 2007.  This property was assigned to the Company in January 2007 by the Company’s parent. In October 2007, the Company purchased five hectares of land adjacent to the Don Roman property to build a mill, equipment yard, and campsite for construction and mining. Construction activities on this land began in October 2007. In October of 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third party to purchase construction equipment for the development and operation of the Don Roman Property. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock at a fair value of $600,000 during the first quarter of 2008.

c.

On January 8, 2007 the Company acquired the Las Nuvias Prospect (Las Nuvias) for $100,000 plus $15,000 of value added tax from an unrelated third party. The purchase price was paid in full in January 2007. This property was assigned to the Company in January 2007 by the Company’s parent.

d.

In November 2008, AMM executed an agreement to acquire eight mining concessions known as “Centenario” from an independent third party. The properties approximate 5,400 hectares and were purchased for a total of $1,894,050, including $247,050 in value added taxes.

In June 2009, AMM and the note holder modified the agreement to 1) revalue the entire Centenario concession to $2,000,000, 2) apply $127,000 toward the purchase price which we had already paid and recorded as a mining deposit, and 3) apply $197,956 toward the updated value of the concession which was originally paid by another subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources Corp.  These changes resulted in the following 1) additional debt of $28,044 plus related value added tax for these concessions, 2) the reduction of the amount of the mining deposit, 3) the expense of $6,000 that AMM also paid but which was not included in the revaluation of the concession, and 4) the increase in our Due to Related Party of $197,956 plus related value added tax. The effective amount financed in relation to this concession is $1,675,044 plus $266,001 of value added tax.

The resulting debt payment schedule, including applicable value added tax, is as follows:

In accordance with Interest Topic of FASB ASC, the future payments of the total payment amount of $1,675,044 have been discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of 2.97%. As of March 31, 2010, the present value of future payments on the Centenario contract is as follows:

Effective January 1, 2010 the Mexican government increased Impuest al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) to 16%.

11

e.

In June 2009 AMM executed an agreement to acquire three mining concessions known as “Pirita” from an independent third party. The properties approximate 6,700 hectares and were purchased for a total of $50,000 cash, $230,000 financed, including $30,000 in value added taxes.

The resulting debt payment schedule, including applicable value added tax, is as follows:

In accordance with the Interest Topic of FASB ASC, the future payments of the total payment amount of $200,000 have been discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of 2.76%. As of March 31, 2010, the present value of future payments on the Pirita contract is as follows:

Effective January 1, 2010 the Mexican government increased Impuest al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) to 16%.

f.

In June 2009 ACM executed an agreement to acquire eight mining concessions known as “Picacho” from an independent third party. The properties approximate 3,236 hectares and were purchased for a total of $500,000 cash, $4,945,000 financed, including $645,000 in value added taxes.

In March 2010, Adit and the note holder renegotiated the agreement to revalue the entire Picacho concession to $1,250,000. Under the revised agreement, Adit paid the vendor $500,000 in cash (plus applicable taxes); as final consideration for the mining concession. These changes resulted in the following 1) decrease debt for $3,324,485 and the 2) decrease on the related recoverable value-added taxes for $508,814. At March 31, 2010 the amended purchase price was paid in full.

In March 2010, Adit executed an agreement with noted holder of the Picacho property to purchase Technical Data pertaining to the Picacho Prospect. The Technical Data includes engineering reports, maps, assessment reports, exploration samples certificates, surveys, environmental studies and other miscellaneous information pertaining to the Picacho Prospect. As of March 31, 2010 the underlying mining concession known as Picacho had no proven reserves.  As such, the information purchased is considered research and development on a developing mine and in accordance with the ASC Research and Development (R&D) Topic - R&D is expensed when incurred. During the negotiations, the parties agreed on the value of the stock for the Technical Data of $2.25 per share for Adit stock and $4.00 per share of Tara Minerals stock.  In these financial statements we have accounted for the shares at their fair value amounts as follows:  320,000 shares of Adit’s common stock, which was valued at $0.75 per share, and 437,500 shares of Tara Minerals’ common stock which was valued at $2.25.  All stock was issued in April 2010.

Warrants issued in relation to investment relation agreements vest at various rates starting in the second quarter of 2010.

The fair value of each option/warrant award discussed above is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities from the Company’s traded common stock. The expected term of options granted is estimated at half of the contractual term as noted in the individual option/warrant agreements and represents the period of time that management anticipates option/warrants granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the options.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Tara Minerals was incorporated on May 12, 2006.  During the period from its incorporation through March 31, 2010 Tara Minerals did not generate any revenue, incurred $2,046,829 in exploration expenses and $11,914,827 in operating, general and administrative expenses.  Included in operating, general and administrative expenses is a non-cash charge of $4,856,640 pertaining to the issuance of stock options, stock compensation and stock bonus plans to officers and directors of the Company.

Between December 2006 and February 2007, Tara Minerals raised $2,540,000 from the sale of 5,081,000 shares of its common stock to private investors.

In January 2008 Tara Minerals issued 1,200,000 shares of its common stock to an unrelated third party for mining equipment.

In 2008, Tara Minerals sold 1,119,167 Units at a price of $0.60 per Unit.  Each Unit consisted of one share of Tara Minerals’ common stock and one warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Tara Minerals’ common stock at a price of $1.20 per share during the two year period following the sale of the Units.  The warrants expire two years after their issuance.  In October 2009, the warrant exercise price was amended so that holders’ could exercise the warrant at a price of $0.90 until October 23, 2009.  After October 23, 2009 the warrant exercise price reverted to $1.20 per share. The warrant expiration date did not change.  A total of 1,114,003 warrants for $1,101,138 were exercised as of April 29th, 2010.

In 2008 and 2009, Tara Minerals sold 2,800,000 Units at a price of $0.20 per Unit.  Each Unit consisted of one share of Tara Minerals’ common stock and one warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Tara Minerals’ common stock at a price of $0.40 per share during the two year period following the sale of the Units.  The warrants expire two years after their issuance.  A total of 440,000 warrants for $176,000 were exercised as of April 29, 2010.

In 2010, Tara Minerals issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock for investor relation and banking services valued at $2,687,500 or $2.15 a share, with warrants to purchase 1,250,000 common shares, vesting throughout 2010 with a total warrant value of $2,684,028.

Tara Minerals anticipates that its capital requirements during the twelve months ending March 31, 2011 will be:

In the first quarter of 2010, Tara Minerals continued extracting material from its Don Roman mine to process and produce lead / silver and zinc concentrates for sale to a third party.  During the first quarter, Tara Minerals spent time and resources refining its recovery and concentrate production process, including the addition of a concentrate dryer, so that in April 2010 it was able to begin shipping high quality concentrates to a third party buyer.  Tara Minerals believes that it is making steady progress towards consistent quality production of marketable concentrates and that both cash on hand and revenue from mining activities will satisfy its working capital needs for 2010.

Tara Minerals’ future plans will be dependent upon the amount of capital available to Tara Minerals and the amount of cash provided by its operations.  

19

Tara Minerals anticipates that it will need to hire 10 to 15 new employees during the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2011 primarily to run mining operations.

Tara Minerals does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide Tara Minerals with any additional capital.  

See Note 1 to the financial statements included as part of this report for a description of Tara Minerals’ accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements.
