NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Nature of Activities, History and Organization DynaResource, Inc. (The “Company”, “DynaResource”, or “DynaUSA”) was organized September 28, 1937, as a California corporation under the name of West Coast Mines, Inc. In 1998, the Company re-domiciled to Delaware and changed its name to DynaResource, Inc. The Company is in the business of acquiring, investing in, and developing precious metal properties, and the production of precious metals. In 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, DynaResource de México S.A. de C.V., chartered in México (“DynaMéxico”). This Company was formed to acquire, invest in and develop resource properties in México. DynaMéxico owns a portfolio of mining concessions that currently includes its interests in the San José de Gracía Project (“SJG”) in northern Sinaloa State, México. The SJG District covers 69,121 hectares (170,802 acres) on the west side of the Sierra Madre mountain range. The Company currently owns 100% of the outstanding capital of DynaMéxico. A 20% minority interest in Dyna México was held by Goldgroup Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldgroup Mining Inc. Vancouver BC (“Goldgroup”) until February 24, 2020. In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracía S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”), and acquired effective control of Mineras de DynaResource, S.A. de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre S.A. de C.V., “DynaMineras”). The Company owns 100% of Dyna Mineras. The Company elected to become a voluntary reporting issuer in Canada in order to avail itself of Canadian regulations regarding reporting for mining properties and, more specifically, National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). This regulation sets forth standards for reporting resources in a mineral property in Canada and is a standard recognized in the mining industry. Reclassifications and Adjustments Certain financial statement reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to reflect the current period’s presentation format; such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income or consolidated statements of cash flows and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items that: 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Basis of Presentation The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Principles of Consolidation The financial statements include the accounts of DynaResource, Inc., as well as DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. (100% ownership), DynaResource Operaciones S.A. de C.V. (100% ownership) and Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. (100% ownership). All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Non-Controlling Interest The Company’s subsidiary, DynaResource de México S.A. de C.V, was 20% owned by Goldgroup Resources, Inc. until February 24, 2020 when the Company recovered the shares as partial satisfaction of a legal judgement. See Note 10 for further details. The Company accounted for this outside interest as “non-controlling interest” through February, 2020. A 20% share of operating income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) is allocated to the non-controlling interest through the date of the recovery of the shares. Investments in Affiliates The Company owns a 19.95% interest in DynaResource Nevada, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“DynaNevada”), with one operating subsidiary in México, DynaNevada de México, S.A. de C.V. (“DynaNevada de México”), together “DynaNevada”. The Company accounts for this investment using the cost basis. The Company has significant influence over DynaNevada, but not control, due to the lack of a majority voting interest in the entity. DynaNevada has been dormant for several years. DynaUSA has no plan or intention of future funding with DynaNevada nor are any other transactions with DynaNevada contemplated at this time. The Company therefore accounts for this investment using the cost basis. The investment was $70,000 and $70,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for accounts receivable is recorded when receivables are considered to be doubtful of collection. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, no allowance has been made. Foreign Tax Receivable Foreign Tax Receivable is comprised of recoverable value-added taxes (“IVA”) charged by the Mexican government on goods and services rendered. Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return. Amounts paid for IVA are tracked and held as receivables until the funds are remitted. The total amounts of the IVA receivable as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $1,539,095 and $1,297,387, respectively. Inventory Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consist of mined tonnage, and gravity and flotation concentrates, and gravity tailings or flotation feed material. The inventories are $76,332 and $523,089 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Proven and Probable Reserves (No Known Reserves) The definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Industry Guide 7”). Proven reserves for which (1) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes, grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (2) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geological character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of the reserves are well-established. Probable reserves are reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observations. As of September 30, 2020, none of the Company's properties contain resources that satisfy the definition of proven and probable reserves. The Company classifies the development of its properties, including the San Jose de Gracía Property, as exploration stage projects since no proven or probable reserves have been established under Industry Guide 7. Property Substantially all mine development costs, including design, engineering, mine construction, and installation of equipment are expensed as incurred as the Company has not established proven and probable reserves on any of its properties. Only certain types of mining equipment which has alternative uses or significant salvage value, may be capitalized without proven and probable reserves. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Office furniture and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line method over estimated economic lives ranging from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements, which relate to the Company's corporate office, are being amortized over the term of the lease of 10 years. Design, Construction, and Development Costs: When proven and probable reserves as defined by Industry Guide 7 exist, development costs are capitalized, and the property is a commercially minable property. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production would be capitalized. Costs of start-up activities and costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations as incurred. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. All capitalized costs would be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on recoverable ounces to be mined from proven and probable reserves. Certain costs to design and construct mining and processing facilities may be incurred prior to establishing proven and probable reserves. As no proven and probable reserves have been established on any of the Company's properties, design, construction and development costs are not capitalized at any of the Company's properties, and accordingly, substantially all costs are expensed as incurred, resulting in the Company reporting larger losses than if such expenditures had been capitalized. Additionally, the Company does not have a corresponding depreciation or amortization of these costs going forward since these expenditures were expensed as incurred as opposed to being capitalized. As a result of these and other differences, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of mining companies that have established reserves. Mineral Properties Interests Mineral property interests include acquired interests in development and exploration stage properties, which are considered tangible assets. The amount capitalized relating to a mineral property interest represents its fair value at the time of acquisition. When a property does not contain mineralized material that satisfies the definition of proven and probable reserves, such as with the San Jose de Gracía Property, capitalized costs and mineral property interests are amortized using the straight-line method once production begins. As of June 30, 2020, the mining interests have been in the pilot production stage and therefore, no amortization has been expensed. Mining properties consist of 33 mining concessions covering approximately 9,919 hectares at the San Jose de Gracía property (“SJG”), the basis of which are amortized on the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable resources. 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 costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values. Impairment of Assets: For operating mines, recoverability is measured by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows to the net book value. When the net book value exceeds future net undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the excess of the net book value over fair value. Fair value for operating mines is determined using a combined approach, which uses a discounted cash flow model for the existing operations and a market approach for the fair value assessment of exploration land claims. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable mineralized material, expected gold and silver prices (considering current and historical prices, trends and related factors), production levels, operating costs, capital requirements and reclamation costs, all based on life-of-mine plans. The term "recoverable mineralized material" refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after considering losses during processing and treatment of mineralized material. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company's estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold, silver and other commodity prices, production levels and costs and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The recoverability of the book value of each property will be assessed annually for indicators of impairment such as adverse changes to any of the following: ● estimated recoverable ounces of 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 will be 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. This analysis will be completed as needed, and at least annually. As of the date of this filing, no events have occurred that would require write-down of any assets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no indications of impairment existed. Asset Retirement Obligation As the Company is not obligated to remediate the mining properties, no Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) has been established. Changes in regulations or laws, any instances of non-compliance with laws or regulations that result in fines, or any unforeseen environmental contamination could result in a material impact to the amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. Significant judgments and estimates are made when estimating the fair value of AROs. Expected cash flows relating to AROs could occur over long periods of time and the assessment of the extent of environmental remediation work is highly subjective. Considering all of these factors that go into the determination of an ARO, the fair value of the AROs can materially change over time. Property Holding Costs Holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis are expensed in the period they are incurred. These costs include security and maintenance expenses, lease and claim fees and payments, and environmental monitoring and reporting costs. Exploration Costs Exploration costs are charged to operations and expenses as incurred. Exploration, development, direct field costs and administrative costs are expensed in the period incurred. Transactions in and Translations of Foreign Currency The functional currency for the subsidiaries of the Company is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been translated from Mexican Pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) yearend exchange rates for balance sheet accounts, and (ii) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all income statement accounts. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). The financial statements of the subsidiaries should not be construed as representations that Mexican Pesos have been, could have been or may in the future be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates. Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for the subsidiaries are as follows for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Mexican Pesos per one U.S. dollar): Sept 30, 2020 Dec 31, 2019 Exchange Rate at Period End Pesos 22.07 18.86 Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the income statement portion of financial statements for the subsidiaries are as follows for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 (Mexican Pesos per one U.S. dollar): Sept 30, 2020 Sept 30, 2019 Weighted Average Exchange Rate for the Nine Months Ended Pesos 21.79 19.25 The Company recorded currency transaction gains (losses) of $(1,025,194) and $(108,126) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $(685,509) and $(401,826) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” Income from the Company’s subsidiaries in México are taxed under applicable Mexican tax law. Use of Estimates In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determines whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. Comprehensive Income (Loss) ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” Revenue Recognition The Company follows ASC 606 “ Revenue from contracts with customers The amount of revenue recognized is initially recorded on a provisional basis based on the contract price and the estimated metal quantities based on assay data. The revenue is adjusted upon final settlement of the sale. The chief risk associated with the recognition of sales on a provisional basis is the fluctuations between the estimated quantities of precious metals base on the initial assay and the actual recovery from treatment and processing. As of September 30, 2020, there are $1,000,000 in customer deposit liabilities for payments received in advance expected to be settled in 2020. During the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 there was $0 and $0 of revenue recognized during the period from customer deposit liabilities (deferred contract revenue) from prior periods, and $0 of customer deposits refunded to the customer on order cancellation. As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there are no contract costs or commissions deferred. We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the goods. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock options at fair value as prescribed in ASC 718. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables, accrued expenses and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash, receivables and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on long-term debt and the Company’s incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate. Per Share Amounts Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “ Earnings per Share The Company had 3,391,835 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2020 which upon exercise, would result in the issuance of 3,391,835 shares of common stock. Of these warrants 2,166,527 were exercisable at $2.05 per share and 1,225,308 were exercisable at $.01 per share. The Company also had convertible debt instruments as of September 30, 2020 which, upon conversion at a valuations from $2.00 to $2.50 per share, would result in the issuance of 2,325,925 shares of stock. The Company had 2,166,527 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2019 exercisable at $2.50 per share, which upon exercise, would result in the issuance of 2,166,527 shares of common stock. The Company also had convertible debt instruments as of December 31, 2019 which would result in the issuance of 351,352 shares of stock.

The Company discloses all material related party transactions. A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party. |
