1.   Nature of Business

Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Hunt"), is a mineral exploration company incorporated on January 10, 2006 under the laws of Alberta, Canada and, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

Effective November 6, 2013, the Company continued from the Province of Alberta to the Province of British Columbia.  The Company's registered office is located at #530, 355 Burrard Street Vancouver, B.C.  V6C 2G8.  The Company's head office is located at 23800 E Appleway Avenue, Liberty Lake, Washington, 99019 USA.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances:

(1)

The Company has determined that the subsidiary is a variable interest entity because the Company is the primary beneficiary of the land the subsidiary holds, and therefore consolidates the subsidiary in its interim financial statements.

The Company's activities include the exploration of mineral properties in Argentina and the Mina Martha project (Note 7). On the basis of information to date, the Company has not yet determined whether the Exploration properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or a sale of these properties.  The Mina Martha project was purchased in the second quarter of 2016 and refurbishing activities began in late 2016.

2.   Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The interim consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 22, 2017. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The Company's presentation currency is the US Dollar.

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Judgments made by management in the application of US GAAP that have a significant effect on the interim consolidated financial statements and estimates with significant risk of material adjustment in the current and following periods are discussed in Note 6.

3.   Going Concern

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $661,138. As at March 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $38,310,708 and has earned minimal incidental incomes since inception. The Company intends to fund operations through operations of the Martha Mine, advances from related parties and equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2017.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4.   Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are described below.

(a) Basis of measurement

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.

(b) Consolidation

The Company's interim consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses from intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

(c) Foreign currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates throughout the reporting period. Gains and losses on translation of foreign currencies are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  All of the Company's subsidiaries have a US dollar functional currency. Interim financial statements are translated to their US dollar equivalents using the current rate method. Under this method, the statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each period have been translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during each period. All assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are recorded as income or losses in other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized as incurred in the accompanying consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

(d) Financial instruments

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions, which are accounted for at the transferor's carrying amount or exchange amount.

 

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.

 

See Note 15 to the interim consolidated financial statements for fair value disclosures.

(e) Cash and equivalents

Cash and equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has no cash equivalents for all periods presented.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated to amortize the cost of the property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Plant, buildings, equipment and vehicles are stated at cost and depreciated straight line over an estimated useful life of three to eight periods. Depreciation begins once the asset is in the state intended for use by management.

The Company allocates the amount initially recognized in respect of an item of property and equipment to its significant parts and depreciates separately each such part. Residual values, method of depreciation and useful lives of the assets are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset and are included as part of other gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

(g) Mineral properties and exploration and evaluation expenditures

All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures to acquire mineral rights, to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in mineral properties which are in the development or operating stage, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a units-of-production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company charges to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.

(h) Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(i) Asset retirement obligations

The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset, which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).

(j) Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.

(k) Share-based compensation

The Company offers a share option plan for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. ASC 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation" prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the interim financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

(l) Earnings (loss) per share

The calculation of earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each year. The basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to the equity owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The computation of diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the warrants and share options. When the Company reports a loss, the diluted net loss per common share is equal to the basic net loss per common share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the outstanding warrants and share options.

(m) Inventory

Inventories are initially recognized at cost and subsequently stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company's inventory consists of ore concentrate. Costs are determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and includes expenditures incurred in extracting the concentrate, other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition, and the cost of reclaiming the disturbed land to a natural state.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is not estimated to be recoverable due to declining selling prices, or other issues related to the sale of gold.

(n) Recovery of Concentrate

Recovery of concentrate and other income is recognized when title and the risks and rewards of ownership to delivered concentrate and commodities pass to the buyer and collection is reasonably assured.

5.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activities, which are currently recognized in other financing activities, on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Furthermore, an additional reconciliation will be required to reconcile Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to sum to the total shown in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

 

Intra-Entity Transfers

In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09 was issued related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this policy has not had an impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. 

Leases

 

In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance.

 

Investments

 

In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance.

 

Inventory

 

In July 2015, ASU No. 2015-11 was issued related to inventory, simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this policy has not had an impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. 

 

Revenue recognition

 

In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance.

6.   Critical accounting judgments and estimates

(a) Significant judgments

Preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.  Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these interim consolidated financial statements relate to functional currency; income taxes; provisions and reclamation and closure cost obligations. The Company has also made a judgment that the Mina Martha project remains in the exploration stage of development.  These judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Functional Currency

Management determines the functional currency for each entity.  This requires that management assess the primary economic environment in which each of these entities operates.  Management's determination of functional currencies affects how the Company translates foreign currency balances and transactions.  Determination includes an assessment of various indicators.  In determining the functional currency of the Company's operations in Canada (Canadian dollar) and Argentina (U.S. dollar), management considered the indicators of ASC 830.

Income Taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and subject to judgment. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.

Provisions

Management makes judgments as to whether an obligation exists and whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits of a liability of uncertain timing or amount is probable, not probable or remote.  Management considers all available information relevant to each specific matter.

Reclamation and closure costs obligations

The Argentine mining regulations require that mine property be restored in accordance with specified standards and an approved reclamation plan. Significant reclamation activities include reclaiming refuse and slurry ponds, reclaiming the pit and support acreage at surface mines, and sealing portals at deep mines. The Company accrues for the cost of final mine closure reclamation over the estimated useful mining life of the property. At each period, the Company reviews the entire reclamation liability and makes necessary adjustments for revisions to cost estimates to reflect current experience.  

   

The Company has adopted ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets to be recognized at their fair value at the time that the obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset.

(b) Estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company 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 interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to title to mineral property interests; share-based payments, asset retirement obligations. These estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The Company is also exposed to legal risk. The outcome of currently pending and future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Thus, an adverse decision in a lawsuit could result in additional costs that are not covered, either wholly or partly, under insurance policies and that could significantly influence the business and results of operations.

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Title to Mineral Property Interests

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Share-based Payment Transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions is done by application of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, including the expected life of the stock option, forfeiture rate, and volatility based on historical share prices and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, legal proceedings and other claims brought against the Company expose us to potential losses.  Given the nature of these events, in most cases the amounts involved are not reasonably estimable due to uncertainty about the final outcome.  In estimating the final outcome of litigation, management makes assumptions about factors including experience with similar matters, past history, precedents, relevant financial, scientific and other evidence, and facts specific to the matter.  This determines whether management requires a provision or disclosure in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Asset retirement obligation

Upon retirement of the Company's mineral properties, retirement costs will be incurred by the Company. Estimates of these costs are subject to uncertainty associated with the method, timing and extent of future decommissioning activities. The liability, the related asset and the expense are affected by estimates with respect to the costs and timing of retiring the assets.

7.   Mineral properties

(a) Acquisition of Mina Martha project

On May 6, 2016, the Company acquired the assets of the Mina Martha project from Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur"). The Mina Martha project consists of land, mineral rights, a mine camp, offices, a warehouse, maintenance shop, mining facilities including a flotation mill and a tailings retention facility. The transaction has been accounted for as acquisition of assets. The consideration of $3,000,000 paid by Hunt Mining Corp., and the transaction costs of $129,360 have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair value on the date of acquisition. As at March 31, 2017, the remaining purchase consideration of $1,500,000 is payable. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement to extend the original repayment date of May 6, 2017 by 90 days and made subsequent payments of $100,000.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price and the related acquisition costs to the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition

(b) Acquisition of La Josefina project

In March 2007, the Company acquired the exploration and development rights to the La Josefina project from Fomento Minero de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado ("Fomicruz").

In July 2007, the Company entered into an agreement (subsequently amended) with Fomicruz which provides that, in the event that a positive feasibility study is completed on the La Josefina property, a Joint Venture Corporation ("JV Corporation") would be formed by the Company and Fomicruz. The Company would own 81% of the joint venture company and Fomicruz would own the remaining 19%. Fomicruz has the option to earn up to a 49% participating interest in JV Corporation by reimbursing the Company an equivalent amount, up to 49%, of the exploration investment made by the Company. The Company has the right to buy back any increase in Fomicruz's ownership interest in the JV Corporation at a purchase price of USD$200,000 per each percentage interest owned by Fomicruz down to its initial ownership interest of 19%; the Company can also purchase 10% of the Fomicruz's initial 19% JV Corporation ownership interest by negotiating a purchase price with Fomicruz. Under the agreement, the Company has until the end of 2019 to complete cumulative exploration expenditures of $18 million and determine if it will enter into production on the property.

(c) Acquisition of La Valenciana project

On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement for the exploration of the La Valenciana project in Santa Cruz province, Argentina.  The agreement is for a total of 7 years, expiring on October 31, 2019. The agreement requires the Company to spend $5,000,000 in exploration on the project over 7 years. If the Company elects to exercise its option to bring the La Valenciana project into production it must grant Fomicruz a 9% ownership in a new JV Corporation to be created by the Company to manage the project and the Company will have a 91% ownership interest in the JV Corporation.

8.   Asset retirement obligation

On May 6, 2016, the Company purchased the Mina Martha project (Note 7) that has an estimated life of 8 years. The Company is legally required to perform reclamation on the site to restore it to its original condition at the end of its useful life. In accordance with FASB ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations, the Company recognized the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the amount of $678,032. The total amount of undiscounted cash flows required to settle the estimated obligation is $1,226,817 which has been discounted using a credit-adjusted rate of 10% and an inflation rate of 2%.

The Company capitalized that cost as part of the carrying amount of the flotation plant acquired as part of the Mina Martha project, which is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 8 years.

The following table describes all of the changes to the Company's asset retirement obligation liability:

9.   Property, Plant and Equipment

10. Capital Stock

a)	Authorized:

Unlimited number of common shares without par value

Unlimited number of preferred shares without par value

Issued:

Common share issuances:

On November 25, 2016, the Company announced the closing of the non-brokered private placement. The Company issued 1,313,500 units at an issue price of CAD 0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire common shares at an exercise price of CAD 0.40 per common share until November 25, 2018.  The non-brokered private placement raised $229,433, net of cash share issuance costs of $14,604 and the issuance of 49,000 broker warrants on the same terms as the warrants included within the units. The fair value of the warrants attached in the units was determined to be $109,269.

The $109,269 fair value of the 1,313,500 warrants granted as part of the units was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the following assumptions:

Stock options

Under the Company's share option plan, and in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange requirements, the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the option plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, have a maximum term of 5 years and vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In connection with the foregoing, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to: (a) any individual director or officer will not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares; and (b) all consultants will not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

On February 27, 2017, 45,000 options with an exercise price of CAD 3.00 expired.

As at March 31, 2017, the Company's outstanding and exercisable stock options have an aggregate intrinsic value of $276,198 (2016 - $374,898).

b)

Warrants:

11. Performance bond

The performance bond, originally required to secure the Company's rights to explore the La Josefina property, is a step-up US dollar denominated 2.5% coupon bond, paying quarterly, issued by the Government of Argentina with a face value of $600,000 and a maturity date of 2035.  The bond trades in the secondary market in Argentina.  The bond was originally purchased for $247,487.  As at March 31, 2017, the value of the bond had decreased to $376,636 (December 31, 2016 -$381,355).  The change in the face value of the performance bond of ($4,719) for the period ended March 31, 2017 (March 31, 2016 – $39,215) is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

Since Cerro Cazador S.A. ("CCSA") fulfilled its exploration expenditure requirement mandated by the agreement with Fomento Minero de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado ("Fomicruz"), the performance bond was no longer required to secure the La Josefina project.  Therefore, in June 2010 the Company used the bond to secure the La Valenciana project, an additional Fomicruz exploration project.

12. Loan Payable

The Following is a summary of all notes payable.

15. Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, performance bond, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, purchase price payable, transaction taxes payable, loan payable and interest payable.

The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable.  The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

·	Level 1:  inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

·	Level 2:  inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.

·	Level 3:  inputs are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments' fair value.

Fair value

As at March 31, 2017, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2016.  The fair values of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

Cash and performance bond are measured based on Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy on a recurring basis.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, purchase price payable, transaction taxes payable, loan payable and interest payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The Company assessed that there were no indicators of impairment for these financial instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.  Accounts receivable consist of concentrate sales, (collected subsequent to March 31, 2017 – See Note 19) input tax credits receivable and are not considered subject to significant risk.

The Company currently maintains a substantial portion of its day-to-day operating cash balances at financial institutions.  At March 31, 2017, the Company had total cash balances of $138,921 (December 31, 2016 – $108,272) at financial institutions, where $0 (zero) (December 31, 2016 – $0 (zero)) is in excess of federally insured limits.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates

The Company uses Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum definitions for the terms "proven reserves", "probable reserves", "measured resources", "indicated resources" and inferred resources. U.S. investors are cautioned that while these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, including National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") does not recognize them. Canadian mining disclosure standards differ from the requirements of the SEC under SEC Industry Guide 7, and reserve and resource information referenced in this Form 10-Q may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies reporting under U.S. standards. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserve". Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. The SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "measured mineral resources" or "indicated mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource estimate is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of "reserves" are also not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as "reserves" under SEC standards.

Hunt Mining Corporation – Corporate Overview

Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Hunt"), is a mineral exploration company incorporated on January 10, 2006 under the laws of Alberta, Canada and, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

Effective November 6, 2013, the Company continued from the Province of Alberta to the Province of British Columbia. The Company's registered office is located at 25^th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, B.C.  V7Y 1B3.  The Company's head office is located at 23800 E Appleway Avenue, Liberty Lake, Washington, 99019 USA.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances:

The Company's activities include the exploration and development of mineral properties in Argentina. On the basis of information to date, the Company has not yet determined whether the exploration properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or a sale of these properties.

During the first quarter of 2017 our focus has been on refurbishing and developing the Mina Martha property and mining selected remnants to offset the start-up costs.

Principal Property Review

La Josefina Property

The La Josefina property was our primary exploration property because it occupies 52,800 hectares and approximately 90% of the nearly 65,000 meters drilled by us.   It is located in North-Central Santa Cruz province in southern Argentina, within the region known as Patagonia.

The Company purchased the Mina Martha property in May 2016 and has focused our efforts on restoring the mill and property and mining selected mineralized remnants. The La Josefina property has been put on a care and maintenance mode and minimal activity has taken place and minimal exploration activity is planned in the immediate future.

La Valenciana Property

La Valenciana is the Company's second most advanced exploration project.  The property is located on the central-north area of the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, and is located 25 kilometers to the west of the Company's main Piedra Labrada base camp.  The project encompasses an area of approximately 29,600 hectares, and is contiguous to the Company's La Josefina property to the east. The La Valenciana project is comprised of 11 Manifestations of Discovery covering segments of Estancia Canodon Grande, Estancia Flecha Negra, Estancia Las Vallas, Estancia La Florentina, Estancia La Valenciana and Estancia La Modesta (inactive ranches). The La Valenciana property has been put on a care and maintenance mode and minimal activity has taken place and minimal exploration activity is planned in the immediate future.

Bajo Pobré Property

The Bajo Pobré property covers 3,190 hectares and is mainly on the Estancia Bajo Pobré. The property is located 90 kilometers south of the town of Las Heras.

No exploration activity has taken place on Bajo Pobré Property and no exploration activity is planned for the immediate future.

El Gateado Property

In March 2006, CCSA acquired the right to conduct exploration on, through a claims staking process, the El Gateado property for a period of at least 1,000 days, commencing after the Argentine Government issues a formal claim notice, and retain 100% ownership of any mineral deposit found within.

We have not yet received a formal claim notice pertaining to the El Gateado property. Should a mineral deposit be discovered, CCSA has the exclusive option to file for mining rights on the property.  The surface rights of our El Gateado claim are held by the following Ranches, Estancia Los Ventisqueros, Estancia La Primavera, Estancia La Virginia and Estancia Piedra Labrada.  The El Gateado claims are filed with the government of Argentina under file #406.776/DPS/06.

No exploration activity has taken place on El Gateado Property and no exploration activity is planned for the immediate future

Mina Martha Property

The Company purchased the Mina Martha property in May 2016 and has focused its efforts on restoring the mill and property and in mining selected mineralized remnants.

The Martha property ("Martha") is located in the Province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. The closest community is the town of Gobernador Gregores, situated approximately 50 road kilometers (km) to the west-southwest of Martha. The property is the site of past exploration for, and surface and underground mining and recovery of, silver and gold from epithermal veins and vein breccias, previously operated by Coeur Mining Inc. (formerly, Coeur d'Alene Mine Corp, "Coeur"), and Yamana Inc. ("Yamana").

The property was purchased by Cerro Cazador SA (CCSA), an Argentine subsidiary of Hunt, from an Argentine subsidiary of Coeur. The intent to purchase was announced February 10, 2016 and closed May 11, 2016 as disclosed by Hunt on its website (www.huntmining.com). See note 7 of the 2016 Form 10-K financial statements for details on the purchase of the Mina Martha property.

The Martha property consists of approximately 7,850 hectares of concessions, various buildings and facilities, surface and underground mining and support equipment, a 480 tonne per day (tpd - maximum) crushing, grinding and flotation plant, tailings facility, various stockpiles and waste dumps, employee living and cafeteria quarters, and miscellaneous physical materials remaining from the former operations of Coeur. In addition, Hunt has access to surface ranch ("estancia") lands surrounding the mine and mill site that are approximately 35,700 hectares in size.

Royal Gold Inc. holds a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on all production from the Martha property; the obligation for which transferred from Coeur to Hunt (www.royalgold.com). In addition, the provincial government holds a 3% pit-head royalty from future production.

The mine and mill facilities at Martha remained dormant after all production operations at Martha ceased in 2012. Coeur maintained watch over the property and conducted some cleanup and environmental monitoring during the dormancy. The cleanup and environmental work was continued by Hunt to ready the property for new exploration and development in support of a potential recommencement of production.

During the first quarter of 2017, Hunt evaluated and began the initial production from remnant blocks of silver and gold mineralization in the Martha vein and to the east in the R4 and Del Medio System veins. Hunt's plan is to verify historic mineralization on these and other proximal structures with its own program of exploration and evaluation to determine the viability of new mining from surface and underground platforms. Other vein-hosted silver and gold mineralization targets occur on the Martha property and are slated for subsequent exploration confirmation and evaluation.  The Company has not identified resources or reserves at Mina Martha as defined by the SEC Industry Guide No.7.

On February 9, 2017, Hunt Mining Corp. announced drill results from exploration activities at the Martha Project located in the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.  Hunt has an ongoing exploration program designed to expand upon potential material to be processed at the Martha Mill, which was commissioned during January 2017. Hunt continued drilling along the trend of the Martha vein immediately to the west of existing Martha Mine workings utilizing a surface blasthole drill. By the end of the first quarter 2017 total of 16 drill holes had been drilled to a maximum depth of 25 meters downhole length. Samples were collected in 1 meter intervals and were analyzed at the Martha Project on-site laboratory. Of the 16 holes drilled, 7 intercepted mineralization of more than 1,000 g/t Ag with one interval grading 15,471 g/t Ag and 28.6 g/t Au over 4 meters.

New Mineralized material – Martha West

Figure 1

Forecast for the second quarter of 2017 is to continue extraction from the Martha West structure until completed to the 305 elevation, approximated 200,000 Ag ounces remain to be extracted. Shipment 3 is scheduled for late May, containing approximately 120,093 ounces of Ag and 120 ounces of Au.  Forecast production for the second quarter is 289,354 ounces of Ag and 275 ounces of Au. The winter months, June through August can be extremely difficult to maintain full operation, and we will stock supplies and fuel for that period.

Operating results – Revenues and Expenses

The Company's results have changed in all areas due to the purchase of the Mina Martha property in 2016.  Start-up costs during January and February to refurbish the buildings, equipment and commission the mill for operations were offset by the booking proceeds from the sale of tailing material to Triton during the first quarter of 2017 and booking the first shipment of concentrate from the mill.

Quarterly Results Summary

Company's quarterly results are shown below in the table below:

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017

The working capital unfavorable variance is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable due to the purchase of supplies and costs related to the start-up of the Mina Martha property.

Total assets increased during the first quarter primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable for the sale of concentrate for Lot #1 of approximately $498,000.  The payment for Lot #1 was received in April 2017.

The change is total shareholder equity is due to the operating loss during the first quarter of 2017.

Variance Analysis for Net Loss

Pre-production mining expenses represent the start-up costs of mining and milling at the Mina Martha property during the months of January and February 2017.  The start-up and other costs at the Mina Martha property were off-set with Cost Recovery by recording the first lot of pre-production concentrate sold for $498,529 and the deferred advances of $190,269 for recognized for tailings material sold during the first quarter of 2017.

Professional fees increased due to consulting fees for the start-up of Mina Martha.  The production costs in March were booked as inventory costs.

Exploration expenses are less due to exploration geologists time spent at Mina Martha with the step-out drilling program and reduced activity on La Josefina and La Valenciana.

Travel expenses variance is due to slight increase in travel.

Administrative expenses increased due to staffing at Mina Martha.

Payroll expense variance is due to classification of payroll costs to operations.

Interest expense increase is due to the interest expense from the Ocean Partner Facility Loan and the Tim Hunt loan that did not exist in the first quarter of 2016.

Banking fees increased during the first quarter of 2017 due to transaction fees in Argentina and wire transfer fees.

The depreciation increase is due to depreciation on the Mina Martha assets that began in May 2016.

Transaction taxes incurred in 2016 were related to the purchase of the Mina Martha property.

The contingent liability was an adjustment in 2016.  No adjustments were made in the first quarter of 2017.

Accretion expense began after the purchase of the Mina Martha property which occurred in May 2016.  Therefore, there was no accretion expense during the first quarter of 2016.

Cash flow discussion for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016

The cash outflow for operating activities prior to items not affecting cash and non-cash items was $661,138, an increase of $172,161 (March 31, 2016 – $488,977), due to activity levels as described in the variance analysis of operating expenses.  The net operating cash flow, after non-cash expenses and working capital adjustment was inflow of $35,271, and increase of $62,956 (March 31, 2016 – ($27,685)).

There were no investing activities during the first quarter of 2016 or 2017.

Cash inflows from financing activities during 2017 reflect the funds from the banking line of credit of $50,000 less repayment of loan $39,419 and in 2016 a draw on the bank line of credit for $13,558.

Financial Position

Cash

The Company's cash position increased during the three-month period by $30,649 to $138,921 (December 31, 2016 $108,272) from loans from the Hunt Family Limited Partnership for $1,262,662 offset by the first quarter exploration, development and start-up operating expenses of Mina Martha.

Prepaid expenses and receivables

Prepaid expense change is due to amortization of insurance costs.  The accounts receivable increased from $126,453 to $792,611 due to the receivable due for Lot #1 delivered to Ocean Partners during late March 2017 of $498,529 and the increase in value added tax in Argentina of $136,951.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment consist of machinery and equipment primarily in Argentina. The decrease of $298,154 to $4,636,629 (December 2016 – $4,934,783) is due to amortization of Mina Martha assets in the quarter.

Mineral interests

Mineral interests remained the same at $438,062.

Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accounts payable with related parties

Bank indebtedness balance was paid off at year end 2016 and the Company made a draw of $50,000 during the first quarter of 2017.

Accounts payable has increased by $1,703,248 to $4,790,859 (December 2016 – $3,087,611) due to the increased business activities related to the start-up of the Mina Martha property

The deferred advances at year end 2016 of $190,269 was related to the unrecognized portion of the $250,000 advance from Triton for the tailing material at Mina Martha.  This deferred amount was recognized during the first quarter of 2017.

The reduction in loan payable of $39,419 to $3,431,892 (December 31, 2016 $3,471,311) represents principal payments on loans during the first quarter of 2017.

Capital Stock

There were no changes to capital stock during the first quarter 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2017, the Company had a negative working capital of $8,548,315 including cash of $138,921 as compared to a negative working capital of $8,168,833 including cash of $108,272 at December 31, 2016.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Mina Martha mill began processing remnant material from the Martha mine for the company's first concentrate production. The company plans to continue mining material from the Mina Martha mine and announced in January 2017 the results from the exploration drilling program where of the 16 holes drilled, 7 intercepted mineralization of more than 1,000 g/t Ag with one interval grading 15,471 g/t Ag and 28.6 g/t Au over 4 meters. Highlights of this drill program are available on the Corporation's website www.Huntmining.com.

Since the first quarter the Company has released the results for two additional shipments of concentrate from Mina Martha to the port.  The first shipment to the port contained approximately 31,000 ounces of silver, the second shipment contained approximately 84,000 ounces of silver and the third shipment contained approximately 118,000 ounces of silver based on mine assays.

The Ocean Partners Advance Payment Facility terms stipulate a 90% provisional advance payment to the Company for the sale of the concentrate less smelter deductions and freight.  Repayment of the $1.5M facility loan is set at $15,000/dry metric tonne (DMT) and is deducted from the provisional settlement, which is based on the 5-

day average London Metals Exchange prices prior to the bill of lading date.  Through May 25, 2017, the Company has repaid $759,420 of the Ocean Partners Advance Payment Facility and expects the remaining balance will be paid with the third shipment.  Gross revenue from the first three shipments is estimated at $3.7 million.

The Company plans to continue to mine existing remnant material from underground and the Mina Martha crown pillars plus the displaced section of the Martha vein, which is within 5 meters adjacent to the existing vein, as described above in the Mina Martha property review.  The Company's current plan of processing of material at Mina Martha plus exploration discoveries will provide sufficient cash flow to cover operating costs, repay in full the Facility Loan and cover the current liabilities. Going forward the Company plans to continue the step-out drilling program to delineate continuance of grade of existing mineralized veins and evaluate processing material from the La Josefina and La Valenciana gold properties in Santa Cruz province, Argentina.  The Company has not determined any resources or reserves for Mina Martha, La Josefina or La Valenciana as defined in the SEC Industry Guide 7.

Critical Accounting Estimates

(a) Significant judgments

Preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies.  Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in these interim consolidated financial statements relate to functional currency; income taxes; provisions and reclamation and closure cost obligations. The Company has also made a judgment that the Mina Martha project remains in the exploration stage of development.  These judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Functional Currency

Management determines the functional currency for each entity.  This requires that management assess the primary economic environment in which each of these entities operates.  Management's determination of functional currencies affects how the Company translates foreign currency balances and transactions.  Determination includes an assessment of various indicators.  In determining the functional currency of the Company's operations in Canada (Canadian dollar) and Argentina (U.S. dollar), management considered the indicators of ASC 830.

Income Taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and subject to judgment. The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company's current understanding of the tax law in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.

Provisions

Management makes judgments as to whether an obligation exists and whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits of a liability of uncertain timing or amount is probable, not probable or remote.  Management considers all available information relevant to each specific matter.

Reclamation and closure costs obligations

The Argentine mining regulations require that mine property be restored in accordance with specified standards and an approved reclamation plan. Significant reclamation activities include reclaiming refuse and slurry ponds, reclaiming the pit and support acreage at surface mines, and sealing portals at deep mines. The Company accrues for the cost of final mine closure reclamation over the estimated useful mining life of the property. At each period, the Company reviews the entire reclamation liability and makes necessary adjustments for revisions to cost estimates to reflect current experience.  

The Company has adopted ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets to be recognized at their fair value at the time that the obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset.

(b) Estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company 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 interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience and current and expected economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to title to mineral property interests; share-based payments, asset retirement obligations. These estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The Company is also exposed to legal risk. The outcome of currently pending and future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Thus, an adverse decision in a lawsuit could result in additional costs that are not covered, either wholly or partly, under insurance policies and that could significantly influence the business and results of operations.

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Title to Mineral Property Interests

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Share-based Payment Transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions is done by application of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, including the expected life of the stock option, forfeiture rate, and volatility based on historical share prices and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, legal proceedings and other claims brought against the Company expose us to potential losses.  Given the nature of these events, in most cases the amounts involved are not reasonably estimable due to uncertainty about the final outcome.  In estimating the final outcome of litigation, management makes assumptions about factors including experience with similar matters, past history, precedents, relevant financial, scientific and other evidence, and facts specific to the matter.  This determines whether management requires a provision or disclosure in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Asset retirement obligation

Upon retirement of the Company's mineral properties, retirement costs will be incurred by the Company. Estimates of these costs are subject to uncertainty associated with the method, timing and extent of future decommissioning activities. The liability, the related asset and the expense are affected by estimates with respect to the costs and timing of retiring the assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activities, which are currently recognized in other financing activities, on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Furthermore, an additional reconciliation will be required to reconcile Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to sum to the total shown in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Intra-Entity Transfers

In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the interim consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09 was issued related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this policy has not had an impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. 

Leases

 

In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance.

 

Investments

 

In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain

disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance.

 

Inventory

 

In July 2015, ASU No. 2015-11 was issued related to inventory, simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this policy has not had an impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue recognition

 

In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the updated guidance.

Financial instruments and other risks

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, performance bond, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, purchase price payable, transaction taxes payable, loan payable and interest payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. The Company has its cash primarily in three commercial banks, one in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, one in Buenos Aries, Argentina and one in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, USA.
