NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business and principles of consolidation:

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Firma Holdings Corp. (“Firma Holdings” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed, except as noted below.

Firma Holdings, incorporated in Nevada on May 12, 2006, formerly a subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources Corp. (“Tara Gold”), consists of three business segments: mining, packaging technology and food manufacturing.

Our mining business segment explores and develops mining properties which may be productive of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, iron, industrial metals, and other associated metals. This segment is in the exploration stage.

Tara Gold, which historically engaged in the exploration and development of mining properties in Mexico, divested its ownership in Firma Holdings in February 2015 by distributing out its ownership in Firma Holdings to its shareholders.

In 2006 Tara Gold, formed Firma Holdings when it determined that some investors, prefer lead, zinc and silver projects, rather than gold and silver projects, and that capital may be easier to obtain by separating gold properties from industrial metal properties. Although this was Tara Gold’s intention when it formed Firma Holdings, Firma Holdings nevertheless has interests in properties which may be productive of gold or silver. Firma Holdings formed Adit Resources Corp. (“Adit”) in 2009 to hold the Picacho Groupings and to finance the exploration and development of the Picacho Groupings solely from the sale of Adit’s securities. Adit in turns owns 99.99% of American Copper Mining, S.A. de C.V. (“ACM”). Firma Holdings owns 99.9% of the common stock of American Metal Mining S.A. de C.V. (“AMM”), a Mexican corporation and 87% of the common stock of Adit. Firma Holdings’ operations in Mexico are conducted through AMM and ACM, since Mexican law provides that only Mexican corporations are allowed to own mining properties.

Our technology business segment owns the “SmartPac” technology. Purchased in May 2014, this technology can be used for the preservation and protection of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers during extended periods of shipping and storage. The technology is comprised of patents, trademarks and other intellectual property pertaining to systems and methods for packaging bulk quantities of fresh produce and flowers incorporating modified atmosphere packaging.

Our food manufacturing business segment consists of the 2015 acquisition of Sicilian Sun Limited, LLC (“SSL”), and it’s wholly owned Italian subsidiary, Sicilian Sun Foods s.r.l. (“SSF”), and two production facilities located in Alcamo and Catania on the island of Sicily. This business segment specializes in the manufacturing of three product categories: baked goods, frozen desserts, and semi-finished products made from natural ingredients. These products include assorted pastries, ricotta cannoli, as well as cakes, breads, rice balls, croissants, and a variety of other frozen and packaged items. Frozen desserts include gelato, tartufi, mousse, sorbets Italian ices and other frozen treats. Many of the products use proprietary formulas.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Variable interest entities (“VIE”) over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and where the Company is considered the primary beneficiary are included in our consolidated financial statements in those periods in which this applies. When the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company consolidates the entity if control is achieved through means other than voting rights such as control of the Board, certain treasury activities, certain capital structures and contractual relationships. Effective February 2015, the Company no longer considered Tara Gold a VIE as defined above and has presented transactions related to Tara Gold as discontinued operations in these financial statements. At June 30, 2014 (the comparable prior period for the statement of operations) the Company had no joint ventures or VIEs.

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 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the condensed consolidated results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30 2015 and 2014, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

The reporting currency of the Company, Adit and SSL is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of AMM and ACM is the Mexican Peso and the functional currency of SSF is the Euro. As a result, the financial statements of these subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos or the Euro into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for non-monetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with non-monetary 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 re-measurement gain (loss) is recorded to other comprehensive gain (loss).

Current and historical exchange rates are not indicative of what future exchange rates will be and should not be construed as such.

Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for AMM, ACM and SSF are as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar or the U.S. dollar per one Euro :

	June 30, 2015 (unaudited)
Current exchange rate	Ps.	15.6599	EU	1.1094
Weighted average exchange rate for the six months ended	Ps.	14.7990	EU	1.1026

	June 30, 2014 (unaudited)
Current exchange rate	Ps.	13.0002
Weighted average exchange rate for the six months ended	Ps.	13.1171

The Company’s significant accounting policies are:

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net loss, have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically inventory has been stated apart from other current assets.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recoverable Value-Added Taxes (IVA) and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Impuesto al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) are recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods sold and services rendered at a rate of 16%. Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return and as determined by the Mexican taxing authority. Our allowance in association with our receivable from IVA from our Mexico subsidiary is based on our determination that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(Unaudited)
Allowance – recoverable value-added taxes	$	1,353,509	$	1,436,115
Allowance – other receivables		385,468		426,853
Total	$	1,738,977	$	1,862,968

Bad debt (recovery) expense was $4,713 and $51,968 at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

AMM received refunds of $2,729 and $40,489 for IVA taxes as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”), or market, including direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for products is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred and collection is reasonably assured.

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:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20),” which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively but may also be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2015-01 for these interim financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Pilar, Don Roman, Las Nuvias, Centenario, La Palma and La Verde properties are located in Mexico and are known as the Don Roman Groupings.

The Picacho and Picacho Fractions are located in Mexico and are known as the Picacho Groupings.

All properties listed above are paid for in full except the following:

In January 2007, the Company acquired the Pilar de Mocoribo Prospect (“Pilar”) from Tara Gold’s former subsidiary Corporacion Amermin S.A. de C.V. for $739,130 plus $115,737 of value-added tax (as amended). The Company owes $535,658 for this mining concession (including the applicable value-added tax).

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 June 30, 2015, the present value of future payments is as follows:

	Debt			IVA		Total
Total remaining debt	$	486,739		$	77,878	$	564,617
Imputed interest		(28,959	)		-		(28,959	)
Present value of debt	$	457,780		$	77,878	$	535,658

In addition to the Company’s mining concessions and the Don Roman Plant, with the acquisition of Sicilian Sun Foods Ltd., LLC and its subsidiary the Company also acquired approximately $2,900,000 of fixed assets consisting of plant equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements to the plants in Italy.

Note 4.

Assets Held for Disposal, net

In February 2015, the Company sold all concessions in the Dixie Mining District for $450,000 plus the assumption of certain payables related to business conducted in Idaho. As such, the property was reclassified from assets held for sale to other receivables.

Note 5.

Note Receivable, current

In July 2014, the Company entered into a note receivable with a third party in the packaging technology business segment, where the Company funded a total of $530,500 over several separate fundings July – November 2014.

There have been no issuances under the Adit plans in 2015.

The fair value of each award discussed above is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes 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 the award granted is usually estimated at half of the contractual term as noted in the individual agreements, unless the life is one year or less based upon management’s assessment of known factors, and represents the period of time that management anticipates awards granted 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 the grant for bonds with maturity dates at the estimated term of the options. Historically the Company has had no forfeitures of options or warrants, therefore, the Company uses a zero forfeiture rate.

ITEM 2.

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

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated on May 12, 2006. Beginning in the second quarter of 2015 the Company has three business segments: mining, packaging technology and food manufacturing.

Due to the addition of business segments over the past year, the Company is starting to structure itself as a holding Company. Over the next year, we anticipate finalizing assigning all assets which may be held by the parent, Firma Holdings, into wholly owned subsidiaries. This change is not anticipated to change the overall structure of the Company, but we anticipate it will enable the Company to fully maximize and leverage each business segment to its fullest.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Material changes of certain items in the Company’s Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, are discussed below.

Three Months Ended	June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014

Revenue	$	243,064		$	-
Cost of revenue		(319,713	)		-
Exploration expenses		(3,928	)		(312,468	)
Operating, general and administrative expenses		(929,455	)		(637,162	)
Net operating loss	$	(1,010,032	)	$	(949,630	)

Generally, with the Company’s acquisition of Sicilian Sun Limited, LLC (“SSL”) and its wholly owned Italian subsidiary, Sicilian Sun Foods s.r.l., many of the material changes to the 2015 results when compared to the 2014 results are due to the addition of this new business segment.

Revenues and cost of revenues recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2015 relates solely to the food manufacturing segment of the Company from the date we acquired SSL (April 20, 2015) through the quarter end.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, exploration expenses decreased primarily due to the sale of the Dixie Mining District and the Mexico properties being dormant pending funding. Expenses incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were for routine maintenance; compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, when the Company focused primarily on work at the Dixie Mining District and the Don Roman property. In 2014 exploration expenses included expenses for preproduction activities, geology consulting, assaying, field supplies and other mine expenses.

Material changes of certain items in the Company’s operating, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, is discussed below.

Rent		81,592		4,143

As of June 30, 2014 the Company was a subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources Corp. As the officers of the two companies were the same, 1/3 of certain expenses, primarily compensation and officer employment and investor relations, was shared between the two companies. Due to Tara Gold Resources Corp.’s divestiture of its ownership of the Company in February 2015 by distributing its ownership as a dividend to shareholders, the sharing of the above expenses ceased. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 compensation and officer employment was higher due to no longer sharing this cost with Tara Gold Resources Corp., a slight increase in the compensation of the Chief Financial Officer starting 2015, and the acquisition of SSL.

Additionally with the acquisition of SSL, our professional fees stayed higher than anticipated for the three months ended June 30, 2015, however they were lower than the three month period ending June 30, 2014 due to lower legal fees associated with the SmartPacTM technology purchase in 2014.

Other taxes increased for the three month period ending June 30, 2015 compared to the three month period ending June 30, 2014 primarily due to higher payroll taxes in both the U.S. and Mexico, plus the additional of SSL.

The packaging technology segment began in the Company with the May 2014 acquisition of the SmartPacTM. The increase in selling expense for the three months period ending June 30, 2015 is solely attributable to this business segment which was not in existence in the company for same period in 2014.

Travel expense increased for the three months period ending June 30, 2015 for due diligence related to the Company’s acquisition of SSL and its subsidiary which resides in Italy, and for travel associated with demonstration and selling activities of the Company’s packaging technology business segments.

As a holding company, we have three distinct business segments: mining, packaging technology, and food manufacturing. Gracepoint Mining, LLC will hold the Company’s mining assets, SmartPac Global, LLC will hold the SmartPacTM technology, and Sicilian Sun Ltd., LLC currently holds the food manufacturing and sales business. Changes to our internal organizational structure will include The Company ensuring all relevant assets related to the above business segments are contained in the appropriate company listed above and put the parent company as a true holding company.

Each division will be managed with a strategic focus on a combination of near term revenue, scalable revenue, and exponential valuation growth potential.

Mining:

As the mining division of the Company continues to explore options to advance all projects, in the first half of 2015, the Company has seen an increase in interest from parties exploring opportunities at both Don Roman and Picacho. In addition to equity interests, there have been interests in production tolling at the Don Roman milling facility, which could result in revenue generating opportunities. The efforts of the first quarter were carried forward into the second quarter and have resulted in formal conversations, in an effort to advance and/or monetize the Company’s holdings in Mexico.

Packaging Technology:

The packaging technology can be used for the preservation and protection of fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers during extended periods of shipping and storage. The packaging technology, currently named SmartPacTM, is comprised of patents, trademarks and other intellectual property pertaining to systems and methods for packaging bulk quantities of fresh produce and flowers incorporating modified atmosphere packaging.

SmartPac Global has engaged the services of a global distribution and logistics expert to introduce and enlist end users to its patented SmartPacTM Systems solution. These included introductions to major destination importers, retailers and food service distributors, in both Europe and Asia. These customers predominately import high value fresh fruit and vegetables from long distances, including the U.S., Mexico, Peru, and Chile. As a result of these meetings, the Company was engaged to demonstrate the product performance by shipping asparagus, avocados, limes, and honeydew melons, in SmartPac’s, to Japan and Europe. Avocado fruit shipped to Japan was evaluated upon arrival by both the importer and The Company. The avocado fruit using SmartPacTM technology was found to have arrived in superior condition, and with increased yields when compared to cartons not packed using SmartPacTM technology. This has resulted in requests for additional shipments and preparations being made for meeting scaled demand. The Company now has the opportunity to begin SmartPacTM sales and continue to build out sales channels.

With these demonstrations, The Company has confirmed that the market demands an effective "per carton" solution that enables the retailer to capture and eliminate the costs associated with transportation and spoilage generated in their fruit and vegetable supply chains. As a result, in addition to seeking to fulfill current market requests and developing custom packaging, the Company is currently expanding its global dynamic demonstrations.

Lastly, the Company is in negotiations with a number of parties for regional strategic alignments that would incorporate use of the SmartPacTM technology.

Food Manufacturing:

In early 2015, the Company negotiated the acquisition of Sicilian Sun Ltd., LLC (“SSL”) and its foreign subsidiary. In the second quarter, SSL began production at the new facility in Catania, Italy, and in the month of July, began shipping product to the US to fulfill orders for a major grocer consisting of thousands of stores throughout the US. Based on the initial stocking order and customer projections, sales estimates by the end of the year could have the potential to reach run rate of $5 million per quarter.

The Company has begun improving and expanding on the supply chain relationships, banking relationships, and customer relationships. The involvement with new and existing customer relationships has already yielded increased interest from customers globally. There will be an on-going focus to improve efficiencies empowering better service to customers, as well as improve margins.

Firma Holdings does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on its sales, revenues or income from continuing operations, or liquidity and capital resources.

Firma Holdings’ future plans will be dependent upon the amount of capital available to Firma Holdings, the amount of cash provided by its operations, and the extent to which Firma Holdings is able to have joint venture partners pay the costs of exploring and developing its mining properties.

Firma Holdings does not have any other commitments or arrangements from any person to provide Firma Holdings with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, Firma Holdings may continue to operate in its present mode.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2015, Firma Holdings had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis (“FIFO”), or market, including direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for products is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred and collection is reasonably assured.

Recoverable Value-Added Taxes (IVA) and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Each period, receivables are reviewed for collectability. When a receivable has doubtful collectability we allow for the receivable until we are either assured of collection (and reverse the allowance) or assured that a write-off is necessary. Our allowance in association with our receivable from IVA from our Mexico subsidiaries is based on our determination that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.

Property, Plant, Equipment, Mine Development and Land

Mining concessions and acquisitions, exploration and development costs relating to mineral properties with proven reserves are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time they will be amortized on the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves. If it is determined that the deferred costs related to a property are not recoverable over its productive life, those costs will be written down to fair value as a charge to operations in the period in which the determination is made. The amounts at which mineral properties and the related deferred costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

The recoverability of the book value of each property is assessed at least annually for indicators of impairment such as adverse changes to any of the following:

• estimated recoverable ounces of copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver or other precious minerals

• estimated future commodity prices

• estimated expected future operating costs, capital expenditures and reclamation expenditures

A write-down to fair value is recorded when the expected future cash flow is less than the net book value of the property or when events or changes in the property indicate that carrying amounts are not recoverable. The carrying amounts of the Company’s mining properties are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication of impairment exists, the asset’s recoverable amount will be reduced to its estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, no indications of impairment existed. As of the August 19, 2015, no events have occurred that would require the write-down of any assets.

Certain mining plant and equipment included in mine development and infrastructure is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from 3 – 10 years. Other non-mining assets are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from 3 – 10 years.

Financial and Derivative Instruments

The Company periodically enters into financial instruments. Upon entry, each instrument is reviewed for debt or equity treatment. In the event that the debt or equity treatment is not readily apparent, FASB ASC 480-10-S99 is consulted for temporary treatment. Once an event takes place that removes the temporary element the Company appropriately reclassifies the instrument to debt or equity.

The Company periodically assesses its financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require derivative accounting are conversion features of debt, equity, and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares, and contracts with variable share settlements. In the event of derivative treatment, the instrument is marketed to market.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employee’s Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. We determine the value of stock issued at the date of grant. We also determine at the date of grant the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.

Shares issued to employees are expensed upon issuance.

Stock based compensation for employees is accounted for using the Stock Based Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC. We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to employees and will use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and is not aware of any legal proceedings which are threatened or contemplated.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company's operating and development properties are located in foreign jurisdictions that are subject to changes in economic and political conditions and regulations in those foreign countries.

As a holding company with subsidiaries in foreign countries, the Company’s opportunities and operations can be affected by many factors, many of which are out of our immediate control. Changes in the economic and political conditions and/or regulations may impact the business’ ability to do business, and affect margins and profit potential. In addition, global factors such as changes in exchange rates, or import/export regulations may pose hurdles that could negatively impact our Company. Some of the Company’s businesses are involved in international and transcontinental transport and logistics; and therefore are exposed to potential weather risks, union issues, port issues, and/or things that can affect the overall cost and timeliness of logistics.

Depending on these, and related factors, the Company may determine an operation is neither profitable nor advisable to continue, further advance, and we may decide not to retain certain holdings or assets.
