NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 – 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 9,920 hectares (24,513 acres) on the west side of the Sierra Madre mountain range. DynaUSA currently owns 80% of the outstanding capital of DynaMéxico, 79% directly and 1% held by the current CEO on behalf of the Company, in compliance with Mexican law. DynaMéxico currently holds 20% of the Shares of DynaMéxico as treasury shares, after complete foreclosure and recovery of those shares on February 20, 2020 from Goldgroup Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldgroup Mining Inc. Vancouver, BC (“Goldgroup”). In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracía S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”) as an operating subsidiary to manage registered employees, and acquired effective control of Mineras de DynaResource, S.A. de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre S.A. de C.V., “DynaMineras”). In 2020 the Company moved its registered employees from DynaOperaciones to DynaMexico in compliance with changes in Mexican employment law. The Company owns 100% of DynaMineras and 100% of DynaOperaciones. 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 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements which present fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Basis of Presentation The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Use of Estimates In order to prepare consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and determines whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from the resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the consolidated financial statements are based. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DynaResource, Inc., as well as DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V., DynaResource Operaciones S.A. de C.V. and Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt 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. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 18,375,699 of deposits in U.S. Banks in excess of the FDIC limit. The Company does not believe it is at a risk of loss on cash. 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 December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, no allowance has been made. During the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recorded a $381,871 bad debt write off of receivables from a former customer of the Company. At, December 31, 2022 management believes all accounts receivable are fully collectable. Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consist of mined tonnage, gravity and flotation concentrates, and gravity tailings or flotation feed material. The inventories were $2,720,811 and $2,110,203 as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Foreign Tax Receivable Foreign Tax Receivable is comprised of recoverable value-added taxes (“IVA”) charged by the Mexican government on goods and services rendered to the company in Mexico and paid by the company. Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return and application for reimbursement. IVA amounts charged to and paid by the company are recorded and carried as receivables until the funds are collected by the company. The total amounts of the IVA receivable as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $9,355,863 and $4,742,180, respectively. In 2022, the Company recovered $403,308 of the IVA receivable. Exploration Stage According to Section 1300 of Regulation S-K, the Registrant is an exploration stage issuer with an exploration stage property since it does not have proven and probable reserves as defined in Section 1300 and does not have a preliminary or final feasibility study. Property and Equipment 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: 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 proven and probable reserves are extracted. As of December 31, 2022, 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 9,920 hectares at the San Jose de Gracía property (“SJG”), the basis of which will be amotized once proven and probable reserves are extracted 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 is 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 is 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 December 31, 2022, and 2021, 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. 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) year-end 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (Mexican Pesos per one U.S. dollar): Dec 31, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 Current exchange rate Pesos 19.48 20.48 Weighted average exchange rate for the period ended Pesos 20.11 20.29 The Company recorded currency transaction gains (losses) of $58,426 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $247,712 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” Uncertain Tax Position The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions, with respect to which some of the outcome is uncertain. The evaluation of the Company’s uncertain tax positions involves significant judgment in the interpretation and application of GAAP and complex domestic and international tax laws. We establish reserves to remove some or all of the tax benefit of any of our tax positions at the time we determine that it becomes uncertain based upon one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained, (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but for a lesser amount, or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. For purposes of evaluating whether or not a tax position is uncertain, (1) we presume the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information; (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position; and (3) each tax position is evaluated without consideration of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. Although management believes the Company’s reserves are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these uncertainties will not be different from that which is reflected in the Company’s reserves. A number of years may elapse before a particular uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved or when a tax assessment is raised. The number of years subject to tax assessments varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Any tax benefit that is or has been reserved because of a failure to meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold would be recognized in income tax expense in the first interim period when the uncertainty disappears under any one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, (2) the tax position, amount, and/or timing is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation, or (3) the statute of limitations for the tax position has expired. Refer to Note 6. Comprehensive Income (Loss) ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue recognition under 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 based on the initial assay and the actual recovery from treatment and processing. As of December 31, 2022, there are $9,350,000 in customer advances for payments received during the period for contracts expected to be settled in 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there was $9,250,000 and $1,500,000 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 due to order cancellation. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there are no deferred contract costs or commissions. We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the concentrate. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables and installment notes payable. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of installment notes payable debt approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on installment notes payable debt and the Company’s incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “ Earnings per Share The Company had warrants outstanding to purchase 892,165 shares of common stock at December 31, 2022 which upon exercise, would result in the issuance of 892,165 shares of common stock. These warrants are exercisable at $0.01 per share The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock including outstanding dividends is convertible into 2,643,082 shares of Common Stock at December 31, 2022. The Company’s Series D Preferred including outstanding dividends is convertible into 790,400 shares of common stock at December 31, 2022. The Company had warrants outstanding (the 2015 Warrant) to purchase 2,657,895 shares of common stock at December 31, 2021 which upon exercise, would result in the issuance of 3,060,998 shares of common stock. Of these warrants 2,168,745 were exercisable at $2.04 per share and 892,165 were exercisable at $0.01 per share. The Company also had convertible debt instruments as of December 31, 2021 which, upon conversion at $2.50 per share, would result in the issuance of 217,312 shares of common stock. Years ended December 31 2022 2021 Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ 6,744,654 $ 8,345,664 Shares: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, Basic 19,456,765 17,797,528 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, Diluted 22,890,246 17,797,528 Basic income (loss) per share $ 0.33 $ 0.47 Diluted income (loss) per share $ 0.29 $ 0.47 Diluted Earnings Per Share is calculated as follows: Dec 31, 2022 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 6,451,503 Deemed Dividends of Series C Preferred Stock 173,499 Deemed Dividends of Series D Preferred Stock 60,800 Adjusted Diluted Earnings $ 6,685,802 Weighted average number of share outstanding - Basic 19,456,765 Series C Preferred Stock Common Stock Equivalent 2,643,082 Series D Preferred Stock Common Stock Equivalent 790,400 Weighted average number of share outstanding - Diluted 22,890,246 Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.29 At December 31, 2022, 892,165 of potentially dilutive common stock related to outstanding warrants were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the net income impact of the converted shares would cause earnings per share to increase, therefore their effect would be antidilutive. At December 31, 2021, 2,168,833 shares of potentially dilutive common stock related to outstanding stock warrants and 217,312 shares of potentially dilutive common stock related to convertible debt were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, using the treasury stock method, because the exercise and conversion prices exceeded the average stock price and therefore their effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, at December 31, 2021, 892,165 of potentially dilutive common stock related to outstanding warrants were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the net income impact of the converted shares would cause earnings per share to increase, therefore their effect would be antidilutive.
