DAKOTA TERRITORY RESOURCES CORP

(Formerly Mustang Geothermal Corp)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013

(UNAUDITED)


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, the “Corporation”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.


The Company’s absence of revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for significant additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2014 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Note 2  Related Party Transactions


Effective October 1, 2005, we began paying a management consulting fee to Minera Teles Pires Inc., a company controlled by the President and director of the Company.  The agreement provides a fixed fee of $10,000 per month of which $5,000 is paid and the other $5,000 deferred until financing is obtained by us.  Additionally, the agreement provides for a payment of $1,500 per month for office rent and expenses.  On March 27, 2013, Minera Teles Pires, Inc. agreed to a re-structure of the amounts due under the agreement and agreed to forgive a total of $522,579.  This amount was recorded to additional paid in capital. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, we incurred approximately $103,500 in management fees and rent from Minera Teles Pires Inc.  As of December 31, 2013, we owed Minera Teles Pires approximately $188,000 for management fees and out of pocket expenses.


Effective February 24, 2012, we began paying consulting fees to Jerikodie, Inc., a company controlled by our Vice President and a director of the Company.  The agreement provides a fixed fee of $9,000 per month plus approved expenses.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, we incurred approximately $81,000 in consulting fees from Jerikodie, Inc.  As of December 31, 2013, we owed Jerikodie, Inc. approximately $135,000 for consulting fees and out of pocket expenses.


On October 3, 2012 we entered into a consulting agreement with, and issued 500,000 shares to, our Director, Gerry Berg, at a price of $0.02 per share for a total of $10,000.  The Company has also agreed to issue up to an additional 200,000 shares, at a price of $0.02 per share for a total of $4,000, subject to a vesting schedule which begins January 2, 2013 and ends December 31, 2013, based on the amount of time served.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2013, we issued 150,000 shares to Mr. Berg as stock based compensation valued at $3,000.


Note 3

Mineral Properties


On September 26, 2012, we re-organized with North Homestake Mining Company.  With this re-organization, we acquired 84 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,600 acres known as the Blind Gold Property located in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  


On December 28, 2012 we acquired 57 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 835 acres known as the West False Bottom Creek and Paradise Gulch Claim Group, the City Creek Claims Group, and the Homestake Paleoplacer Claims Group, all located in the Black Hills of South Dakota.  The purchase price was 1,000,000 restricted common shares valued at $0.15 per share or $150,000.

We plan to commence an exploratory program on these mineral properties as soon as financing can be arranged.

Note Payable to Related Party


We had 11 notes payable to our President pursuant to advances which had historically been made by the President.  The notes were dated between March 2011 and August 2012, were unsecured, ranged in amount from $10,000 to $50,000, and bore interest at 12% per annum.  These notes   were re-structured and combined on March 27, 2013 into a single promissory note payable (the “New Note”).  In conjunction with this restructuring, the President forgave accrued interest totalling $57,817 (recorded as an equity transaction).  The New Note is unsecured, has a principal amount of $265,000, and bears interest at 4% per annum. We will apply 10% of the gross proceeds from any equity financing in an amount exceeding $0.5 million (whether one or more transactions) from and after the date hereof to prepay principal and accrued interest. All remaining unpaid principal and interest is due March 27, 2016.


As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the promissory note payable amounted to $265,000.


Note 5

Convertible Note Payable


On August 14, 2008, we executed a 5% convertible note of $100,000 that was due August 13, 2010.  The note is now in default. The note may be converted from time to time, all or any part of the principal plus any unpaid accrued interest ($27,264 as of December 31, 2013) thereof into common stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to the greater of i) the closing market price per share of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion as quoted on the OTC-BB or such other exchange upon which the Company’s shares are then listed or traded, or ii) $200 per share ($20.00 per share after adjustment due to 1 for 200 reverse stock split; $200 per share after a further adjustment due to a 1 for 10 reverse stock split).  The conversion price shall be subject to adjustments.  The minimum amount to be converted is $10,000.  As of December 31, 2013, this note is outstanding.


Note 6  Line of Credit


We executed a Line of Credit with Wells Fargo Bank in California.  The Line of Credit allows us to borrow up to $35,000.  The balance of this Line of Credit at December 31, 2013 was approximately $29,000.


Note 7

Common Stock


Our authorized capital stock consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.


On June 4, 2013, we sold and issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, at $0.10 per share, in a private placement for cash totaling $100,000.


On November 20, 2013, we sold and issued 500,000 shares of our common stock, at $0.10 per share, in a private placement for cash totaling $50,000.


On December 5, 2013, we sold and issued 750,000 shares of our common stock, at $0.10 per share, in a private placement for cash totaling $75,000.

Note 8 Consulting Agreements


On January 10, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting retainer agreement with a shareholder for professional consulting, strategic planning and business development services for a one year term in exchange for 1,112,500 shares.  We issued these shares on May 31, 2013.


On January 10, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting retainer agreement for professional consulting, strategic planning and business development services for a two year term in exchange for 2,250,000 shares, subject to a vesting schedule.  We issued these shares on May 31, 2013.  This service provider was subsequently appointed to our Board.


On March 19, 2013 the Company entered into an agreement with Wm Chris Mathers to compensate Mr. Mathers as the Company’s CFO with 100,000 shares of the Company’s stock upon execution of the consulting agreement, and an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares valued at $0.14 per share under a 5 year term expiring March 19, 2018.  


These options vest 25% upon the execution of the agreement and 25% upon each six month anniversary from the date of the agreement, provided Mr. Mathers continues to provide consulting or employment services to the Company on the vesting dates. The Black-Scholes pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the 1,000,000 options issued during the period, using the assumptions of a risk free interest rate of 1.1%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 482%, and an expected life of 5 years. We have determined these options to have an approximate fair value of $140,000. Since Mr. Mathers award vests over an 18 month period, the Company is expensing a total of approximately $5,833 monthly, beginning in April 2013, for this award over the 18 month vesting period in accordance with FASB ASC 718.  A total of approximately $52,500 was expensed for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 as stock based compensation.


Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Mathers cash in the amount of $1,000 per month increasing to $2,000 per month on September 1, 2013 and to $3,000 per month on March 1, 2014. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $11,000 in compensation to Mr. Mathers, which has yet to be paid.


At December 31, 2013, the total issued and outstanding shares were 47,047,376.


Note 9 Subsequent Events


On February 4, 2014, we announced that we had entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Michael Terry, a former Homestake Geologic Researcher, to provide guidance to the Company in the execution of its exploration strategies. The consulting agreement is for a period of 1 year from the date of execution. The Company agrees to issue 50,000 restricted shares of common stock upon execution of the agreement and a monthly compensation if $1,500. In recent years, Dr. Terry and fellow scientists have proposed a Fault Block Concept that provides new insights into the gold metallogenesis of the northern Black Hills of South Dakota.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report by the foregoing cautionary statements.


Overview and Organizational History


We are a mining exploration stage company engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Dakota Territory maintains 100% ownership of three mineral properties located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, including the Blind Gold, City Creek and Homestake Paleoplacer Properties, all of which are located in the heart of the Homestake District and cover a total of approximately 2,466 acres.  We currently have limited operations and have not established that any of our projects or properties contain any proven or probable reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7.


On March 9, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement with North Homestake Mining Company to exchange common stock to affect the acquisition of North Homestake’s gold exploration properties located in South Dakota. The Agreement was completed on September 26, 2012 and the Company concurrently effected a 10 for 1 reverse stock split.  The merger was recorded as a reverse recapitalization and the issuances of common stock were recorded as a reclassification between paid-in capital and par value of Common Stock.  North Homestake Mining Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 12, 2011.  


On December 28, 2012, the Company completed an agreement to acquire 57 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 853 acres in the Black Hills of South Dakota in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was valued at $0.15 per share on the transaction date.


There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful exploration and development of our property interests and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.


Current Plan of Operations


We plan on concentrating all exploration activities on our gold property in South Dakota. During fiscal year 2014, we will require additional new financing of approximately $2.5 million to carry out our planned exploration, none of which we have secured as of the date hereof.  


Our planned exploration program will consist primarily of airborne geophysical surveys, surface sampling and diamond drill programs.  Additionally, the budget and any use of proceeds covering any equity based financing would provide for the annual maintenance requirements for the Company’s claims, leases, and concessions and our general operating needs.

Our estimated working capital requirements and projected operating expenses for the next twelve-month period total approximately $2.5 million. Our current working capital will not be sufficient to cover our estimated capital requirements during the next twelve-month period; we will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or through debt financing.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. 


Since we are an exploration stage company and have not generated revenues to date, our cash flow projections are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and our ability to manage growth.  We can offer no assurance that our expenses will not exceed our projections. 


Recent Corporate Developments


On June 27, 2013, we furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K and issued a press release concerning the receipt of a technical report prepared to the standard and in the form of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("the Report") titled “Technical Report on the Blind Gold Project, Maitland Mining District, Lawrence County, South Dakota.” Brian Leslie Cole, P. Geo., and Amer Smailbegovic, Ph.D., CPG., each of whom is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, prepared the report.


Messrs. Cole and Smailbegovic produced the independent review based upon their due diligence investigations of the historical, scientific and technical information pertinent to our Blind Gold Project and Blind Gold Property. Messrs. Cole and Smailbegovic also based their report and opinion upon information gathered as the result of direct observations made during a 6-day visit to our project area.


A copy of the Report is available on our website at www.dakotatrc.com. We are not a reporting issuer in Canada and our Securities are not listed on any Canadian Exchange. The Report was not filed with SEDAR (the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval), which is the system used for electronically filing most securities related information with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.


On July 30, 2013, we furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K and issued a press release announcing the appointment of Anthony Kamin to its Board of Directors.  


Mr. Kamin serves as the President of Eastwood Investment Management (EIM), which he founded in 2001. EIM is a multi-strategy, multi-asset class investment manager.  Mr. Kamin was a Venture Partner with Venture Strategy Partners from 1998 to 2003. Mr. Kamin is an active investor in resource companies and has been a consultant to numerous companies and institutions in the areas of early-stage strategic planning and development.  Mr. Kamin was a director of Opexa Therapeutics (OPXA:NasdaqCM) from 2004 to 2006. Mr. Kamin served as Chairman of the Board of Advisors of DevLab, a center for technology commercialization at Northwestern University.  Mr. Kamin received a Masters Degree from Yale University in international relations with a concentration in international law in 1985.


On February 4, 2014, we announced that we had entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Michael Terry, a former Homestake Geologic Researcher, to provide guidance to the Company in the execution of its exploration strategies.  In recent years, Dr. Terry and fellow scientists have proposed a Fault Block Concept that provides new insights into the gold metallogenesis of the northern Black Hills of South Dakota.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $979,000.  


During our fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, we plan to spend approximately $400,000 for airborne geophysical surveys, $790,000 for diamond drilling, $60,000 for surface sampling and $93,000 for assays, as well as approximately $324,000 for expenses related to exploration programs.  The timing of these expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, including the availability of drill contractors.  We estimate that general and administrative expenses during fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 will be approximately $750,000 to include payroll, legal and accounting services and other general and other expenses necessary to conduct our operations.


We have no employees.  Our management, all of whom are consultants, conduct our operations.  We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next twelve-month period.  Given the early stage of our development and exploration properties, we intend to continue to outsource our professional and personnel requirements by retaining consultants on an as needed basis.  However, if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs, we may retain employees.




11



We currently do not have sufficient funds to complete exploration and development work on our properties, which means that we will be required to raise additional capital, enter into joint venture relationships or find alternative means to finance placing one or more of our properties into commercial production, if warranted. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and development or production on one or more of our properties and any properties we may acquire in the future or even a loss of property interests. We cannot be certain that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable or acceptable to us. Our ability to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as our business performance.


On June 4, 2013, we sold and issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, at $0.10 per share, in a private placement for cash totaling $100,000.


On November 20, 2013, we sold and issued 500,000 shares of our common stock, at $0.10 per share, in a private placement for cash totaling $50,000.


On December 5, 2013, we sold and issued 750,000 shares of our common stock, at $0.10 per share, in a private placement for cash totaling $75,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements; Valuation of options granted to Directors and Officers using the Black-Scholes model.
