Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Stockholders of  

Soltera Mining Corp.

(An Exploration Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Soltera Mining Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of October 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years then ended, and accumulated from September 21, 2005 (Date of Inception) to October 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Soltera Mining Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of October 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and accumulated from September 21, 2005 (Date of Inception) to October 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues, has a working capital deficit at October 31, 2010 and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements



F-6



Soltera Mining Corp.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)


1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS


Soltera Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 21, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at October 31, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of $394,653 and has accumulated losses of $3,342,945 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a)  Consolidated Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation


These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the Company with its Argentinean wholly-owned subsidiary, Incas Mineral, S.A. (“Incas”) and its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary, Atzek Mineral SA de CV (“Atzek”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.


b)  Use of Estimates


The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of mineral property acquisition costs, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

c)  Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share", which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As at October 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no dilutive securities.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)



2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

d)  Comprehensive Loss


ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s only component of comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

e)  Cash and Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

f)  Mineral Property Costs


The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on September 21, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end.  When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.


g)  Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is recorded over the useful lives on a straight-line basis over 3 to 10 years as follows:


Automobile

4 years

Computer equipment

3 years

Furniture and fixtures

10 years

Machinery and equipment

5 years

Tools and Small

3 years


h)  Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

 

i)  Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 440, "Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations," which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The Company did not have any asset retirement obligations as of October 31, 2010 and 2009.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

j)  Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and notes payable were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s operations are in Mexico and Argentina, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.


k)  Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.


The Company recognizes and measures tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax return based on their technical merit and assesses the likelihood that the positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in operating expenses.

 

l)  Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Based Payments” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

 

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.


m)  Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Translation Matters”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.


The functional currency of the wholly-owned subsidiary, Incas, is the Argentine Peso and of Atzek, is the Mexican Peso. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the year for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current operations.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


n)  Marketable Securities


The Company defines marketable securities as income yielding securities that can be readily converted into cash. Examples of marketable securities include U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, time deposits, foreign notes and certificates of deposit. The Company accounts for its investment in debt and equity instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or ASC 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 320 to assess whether our investments with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense). Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. As at October 31, 2010, the Company did not have any marketable securities.


o)  Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.


p)  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends the ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measures and Disclosures”.  ASU No. 2010-06 amends the ASC to require disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and also requires more detailed disclosure about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures concerning purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  This guidance requires expanded disclosures only, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated 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.


3. RESTRICTED MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The Company previously held a term deposit with a maturity of one year in the amount of $40,250, bearing interest of 1.50% per annum and matured on October 19, 2009. The Company early redeemed the term deposit in March 2009. As at October 31, 2010, the Company recorded $nil (2009: $nil) of interest income.

 

4. ACQUISITION OF INCAS


On July 24, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Acquisition Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Incas for consideration of $1,500. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with the President and CEO of the Company to provide management services in consideration of $8,500 per month. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares to the President of the Company upon the Company: (1) receiving a bankable feasibility study on any group of mineral properties the Company has an interest in and which the President of the Company is responsible for bringing to the Company; and (2) selling any such properties before a bankable feasibility study is completed, provided that the President does not own more than 65% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of $1,500 was allocated entirely to mineral property costs as the net book value of Incas is nil.

a)

On July 24, 2007, the Company entered into a management agreement with the President of the Company to provide management services in exchange for $8,500 per month. In addition, the Company committed to issuing 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company once the Company: (i) receives a bankable feasibility study on any group of mineral properties which the President of the Company is responsible for bringing to the Company; and (ii) sells any such properties before a bankable feasibility study is completed, provided that the President of the Company does not own more than 65% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at any time. As at October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has not issued any common shares to the President of the Company with respect to the management agreement.


b)

In July 2010 the Company was served with a lawsuit by Ambrian Resources AG. Ambrian is suing Soltera for damages on the alleged grounds that Ambrian had negotiated and finalized a binding funding agreement with Soltera during the period April to June 2010 but instead Soltera chose to enter a financing agreement with another company (Goldlake). Ambrian also claims that Soltera used a strategy developed by Ambrian and used information provided by a South African mining engineer who visited the project at Ambrian’s expense. Ambrian is seeking damages in excess of $20 million dollars.


Soltera denies all claims in the lawsuit and has retained a Nevada litigator to defend the action brought against it by Ambrian in the State of Nevada. Soltera is also seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that there was no binding agreement with Ambrian. The Company intends to continue to vigorously challenge and defend these claims.


The Company is exposed to various asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


No future legal costs that may be incurred have been accrued as an expense and no loss or gain from any lawsuits and claims can be reasonably estimated or recorded at this time.


Subsequent to October, 31, 2010, the lawsuit was dismissed in consideration of $NIL.

15.  INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.


The Company is subject to U.S. federal and statement income tax and has concluded substantially all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for tax years through October 31, 2006. The tax filings for years from 2007 to 2010 are subject to be audited by U.S. jurisdictions. The Company’s Argentinean subsidiary is subject to Argentinean income tax, the tax filing for year 2010 is subjected to be audited by Argentinean jurisdictions.


The Company’s deferred tax assets arise primarily from net operating loss carryovers. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of $2,790,273 available to offset taxable income in future years which commence expiring in fiscal 2026. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets as the Company’s ability to realize these benefits does not meet the “more likely than not” required criteria.


The Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an approximate rate of 35%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Company’s income tax expense as reported is as follows:

16.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

ASC 820 requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


Level 3 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, due to related parties and notes payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.


Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of October 31, 2010, as follows:
