IDAHO NORTH RESOURCES CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2014
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Idaho North Resources Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of Idaho in 2007. The Company is engaged primarily in acquiring and exploring prospective precious metals mining properties in the western United States.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Company's reported financial position and results of operations.
Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2014 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted. Results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.
3. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying interim financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $171,501 and $235,494 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively. There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to raise additional capital either through debt or equity financing. The interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue received from exploration contracts is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the effect of the Company's potential issue of 3,756,667 and 1,462,500 shares, respectively, from the exercise of outstanding warrants would have been anti-dilutive (see note 5). Accordingly, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
5. CENTRAL NEVADA EXPLORATION PROGRAM and EARN-IN AGREEMENT
In the first calendar quarter of 2014, the Company completed a private placement and signed a letter of intent to enter into an exploration program agreement with Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur"). Coeur purchased 1,333,333 units at $0.15 per unit, for a total of $200,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant. Two warrants plus $0.30 allow Coeur to purchase one common share. The warrants expire in March 2017. At December 31, 2014, Coeur owned 10.06% of the Company's shares.

IDAHO NORTH RESOURCES CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2014
On October 2, 2014, the Company signed the definitive Exploration Program Agreement (the "Agreement") with Coeur. The Agreement calls for Coeur to fund a Central Nevada Exploration Program within a specified Area of Interest for a three-year period. During the Agreement period, Coeur will have the right to select target properties identified and acquired or appropriated by the Company, and earn up to 80% interest in the target properties by meeting certain minimum investment and other requirements. Prior to selection of any target properties, Coeur will pay certain consulting and field-related costs associated with the Program, along with a 10% administrative fee to the Company. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized exploration service income of $127,111 for exploration costs and administrative fees.
On October 21, 2014, the Company signed an Earn-In Option Agreement (the "Earn-In") with Coeur for the Klondyke area, Nevada. Pursuant to the terms of the Earn-In, Coeur may exercise its option to acquire an initial 60% interest in the target properties by spending a minimum of $2 million in exploration and development expenses on the target properties over a 3-year period and completing a NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report. Upon completion of the earn-in requirements, the parties will form a limited liability company for purposes of further exploration, development, and mining of the target properties, with Coeur having a 60% membership interest and the Company having a 40% membership interest. During the Earn-In period, Coeur has the option to acquire the Company's entire interest in the target properties, subject to terms of the Earn-In. As operator, the Company will conduct the exploration, development, and related work at the target properties under budgets approved by Coeur.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
This section of this quarterly report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. We have been in the development stage since our inception. We have incurred operating losses since inception and at December 31, 2014 had working capital of $111,370.
We do not have sufficient available cash in order to maintain operations during the next twelve months, and we will have to raise additional capital to continue our exploration plans and keep our mineral property leases in good standing. We intend to obtain the capital from the exercise of our Redeemable Warrants; possible sale of additional shares of common stock; or loans. There is no assurance that we will raise the additional funds.
Exploration expenditures consist of fees to be paid for consulting services connected with exploration, the cost of rock sampling (the collection of a series of small chips over a measured distance, which is then submitted for a chemical analysis, usually to determine the metallic content over the sampled interval, at pre-determined locations on the property), and cost of analyzing these samples. Since we recently leased the properties, we have conducted only limited exploration, other than exploratory drilling on our Eagleville Property.
We cannot be more specific about the application of proceeds for exploration, because we do not know what we will find.
We have allocated a range of money for exploration. That is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for exploration. If our initial exploration proves positive results, we will expand the exploration activities to include reverse circulation drilling. This is a less expensive form of drilling that does not allow for the recovery of a tube or core of rock. The material is brought up from depth as a series of small chips of rock that are then bagged and sent in for analysis. This is a quicker and cheaper method of drilling, but does not necessarily give one as much information about the underlying rocks. If warranted, core drilling would follow this stage.
If we discover significant quantities of mineralized material, we will begin technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. Only if we have reserves will we consider developing the property.
If, through early stage exploration, we find mineralized material, and it is feasible to expand the exploration program, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. If we do not raise all of the money we need, we will have to find alternative sources of funding, like a public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the properties. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this report. We do not plan to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until we have located a body of minerals and we have determined they are economical to extract from the land.
We intend to solicit interest from other companies in the properties should we discover mineralized materials, or we may elect to develop the properties ourselves.
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything.
We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. Any work that would be conducted on a property that we may secure will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation, and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

Central Nevada Exploration Program Agreement and Earn-In Option Agreement
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company completed a private placement and signed a letter of intent to enter into an exploration agreement with Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur"). Coeur purchased 1,333,333 units at $0.15 per unit, for a total of $200,000. Each unit consists of one common share and a warrant. Two warrants plus $0.30 allow Coeur to purchase one common share. The warrants expire in March 2017.
On October 2, 2014, the Company signed the definitive Exploration Program Agreement (the "Agreement") with Coeur. The Agreement calls for Coeur to fund a Central Nevada Exploration Program within a specified Area of Interest for a three-year period. During the Agreement period, Coeur will have the right to select target properties identified and acquired or appropiated by IDAH, and earn up to 80% interest in the target properties by meeting certain minimum investment and other requirements. Prior to selection of any target properties, Coeur will pay certain consulting and field-related costs associated with the Program, along with a 10% administrative fee to IDAH.
On October 21, 2014, the Company signed an Earn-In Option Agreement (the "Earn-In") with Coeur for the Klondyke area, Nevada. Pursuant to the terms of the Earn-In, Coeur may exercise its option to acquire an initial 60% interest in the target properties by spending a minimum of $2 million in exploration and development expenses on the target properties over a 3-year period and completing a NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report. Upon completion of the earn-in requirements, the parties will form a limited liability company for purposes of further exploration, development, and mining of the target properties, with Coeur having a 60% membership interest and IDAH having a 40% membership interest. During the Earn-In period, Coeur has the option to acquire IDAH's entire interest in the target properties, subject to terms of the Earn-In. As operator, IDAH will conduct the exploration, development, and related work at the target properties under budgets approved by Coeur.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
We have no operations upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We will have to retain experts to assist in developing the properties we lease and in locating additional appropriate projects. Our interest in the properties is limited to our leasehold interest. Our leases, however, grant us a right to purchase the underlying minerals upon completion of certain conditions. In order to assist in deciding if we should invest in a particular project, we will first need to be provided with at least the following:
* | A description of the project and the location of the property; |
* | The lands that will be subject to the exploration project; |
* | The royalties, net profit interest or other charges applicable to the subject lands; |
* | The estimated cost of any geophysical work contemplated; and |
* | The estimated acquisition costs, exploration costs and development costs of the property. |
To become profitable and competitive, we will have to conduct research and exploration of the properties we have acquired.

We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we generated exploration services income of $48,621, compared to $0 for the same period in 2013. Work performed under the Exploration Program with Coeur accounted for the increase. Operating expenses were $220,122 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $47,474 for the same period in 2013. Work performed under the Exploration Program with Coeur, surface drilling at the Eagleville project, and higher exploration costs accounted for the increase.
For the six months ended December 31, 2014, we generated exploration services income of $127,111, compared to $0 for the same period in 2013. Work performed under the Exploration Program with Coeur accounted for the increase. Operating expenses were $362,605 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $105,077 for the same period in 2013. Work performed under the Exploration Program with Coeur, surface drilling at the Eagleville project, higher exploration costs and compensation costs to officers and directors accounted for the increase.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
At December 31, 2014, we had assets of $348,766, including cash of $71,419, compared to assets of $526,570, including cash of $310,749, at June 30, 2014. The decrease in assets is attributable to the payment of annual claims fees, surface drilling at the Eagleville project and general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception on January 22, 2007, we have issued 13,440,683 restricted shares of common stock. The warrants that are issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2014 are as follows:
Warrants to Purchase Common Shares | Exercise Price | Expiration Date |
1,462,500 | $ 0.25 | March 1, 2015 |
666,667 | 0.30 | March 4, 2017 |
1,627,500 | 0.25 | November 1, 2016 |
Included in the foregoing are 850,000 shares of common stock on October 30, 2007, 300,000 shares of common stock on December 4, 2007, and 100,000 shares on January 10, 2008. These shares were issued to our officers, directors, and founders in consideration of $6,000. The foregoing 1,250,000 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In November 2011, we issued 1,600,000 restricted shares of common stock to 21 persons at a price of $0.02 per share for a total of $32,000. The 21 persons were all accredited investors.
In July 2012, we completed a private placement of 2,925,000 Units. Each Unit was comprised of one (1) restricted share of common stock and one (1) redeemable stock purchase warrant. The exercise period of the warrants is three (3) years from March 1, 2012. Two (2) warrants plus $0.25 are convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock. The warrants are redeemable by us upon thirty (30) days written notice to the holder thereof. If we issue such notice and the holder does not exercise the Redeemable Warrants during the 30 day period, the Redeemable Warrants will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. The sale of the Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Reg. 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In March 2014, we sold 1,333,333 units at $0.15 per share for proceeds of $200,000. Each unit was comprised of one (1) restricted share of common stock and one half of one (1/2) redeemable stock purchase warrant. The exercise period of the warrant is three (3) years from March 4, 2014. One (1) warrant plus $0.30 is convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock.
13
In June 2014, we completed a private placement of 3,100,000 Units. Each Unit was comprised of one (1) restricted share of common stock and one (1) redeemable stock purchase warrant. The exercise period of the warrants is three (3) years from November 1, 2013. Two (2) warrants plus $0.25 are convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock. The warrants are redeemable by us upon thirty (30) days written notice to the holder thereof. If we issue such notice and the holder does not exercise the Redeemable Warrants during the 30 day period, the Redeemable Warrants will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. The sale of the Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Reg. 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the next twelve months, we will be required to spend $105,000 on property leases and spend a minimum of $155,000 on property exploration. These expenses are included in the amounts listed under "Plan of Operation – Milestones." See "Notes to Financial Statements" for lease payments required after twelve months.
As of December 31, 2014, our total assets were $348,766, and our total liabilities were $65,425. We had cash of $71,419 at December 31, 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. All of our significant accounting policies and estimates are described in note 2 of the June 30, 2014 audited financial statements. We consider the following policies as being critical with regard to the impact estimates and changes in estimates could have on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.
Mineral Property Costs-The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 27, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue received from exploration contracts is recognized when the contract has been established, the services are rendered and collection of payment is deemed probable.
Stock Based Compensation - The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505, Equity based payments to non-employees, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Under the JOBS Act, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of this extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not presently a party to any litigation.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
