Other comprehensive (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are approximately ($70,000) and $214,000, respectively, and is primarily the result of foreign currency exchange differences and unrealized gains/loss on marketable securities. Inception to date other comprehensive loss is approximately $513,665.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are:

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Securities

For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Investments with stated maturities of greater than three months and traded on an active markets that are accessible at the measurement date are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities.  In accordance with the Comprehensive Income topic of the FASB ASC, we account for unrealized gain (loss) as a component of other comprehensive income. An unrealized gain of $617,772 was recorded in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Investments that are not traded on an active market, have little or no market activity or unobservable inputs are analyzed for classification as available-for-sale or held to maturity securities and are reported at cost in accordance with the Investments Topic of the FASB ASC.  Current or long term balance sheet classification is dependant on management’s intention of liquidating the related security.

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

Impuesto al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) are recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods sold and services rendered at a rate of 16%.  Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return. Amounts paid for IVA are tracked and held as receivables until the funds are remitted.  

Effective January 1, 2010 the Mexican government increased Impuest al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) from 15% to 16% and Impuesto Sobre la Renta (ISR) from 28% to 30%. These financial statements reflect these increases.  

Each period receivables are reviewed for collectability.  When a receivable is determined to not be collectable we allow for the receivable until we are either assured of collection or assured that a write off is necessary.  We have allowed $2,009,548 and $374,116 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in association with our receivable from IVA from our Mexico subsidiaries as we have determined that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.

Property and Equipment and Mining Concessions

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

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 copper, lead, zinc, silver or other precious minerals

• estimated future commodity prices

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

A write-down to fair value is recorded when the expected future cash flow is less than the net book value of the property or when events or changes in the property indicate that carrying amounts are not recoverable. This analysis is completed as needed, and at least annually. As of the date of this filing no events have occurred that would require the write-down of any assets. In addition, the carrying amounts of the group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication of impairment exists, the asset’s recoverable amount will be reduced to its estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, no indications of impairment existed.

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

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net (loss) income, have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.  

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of concentrate and industrial metals will be recognized when ownership passes to the purchaser at which time the following conditions are met:

i)

persuasive evidence that an agreement exists;

ii)

the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the purchaser including delivery of the product;

iii)

the selling price is fixed and determinable; or,

iv)

collectivity is reasonably assured.

Reclamation and remediation costs (asset retirement obligations)

Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs.

Future remediation costs for reprocessing plant and buildings are accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the undiscounted costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing remediation, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. There were no reclamation and remediation costs accrued as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Exploration expenses

Exploration costs not directly associated with proven reserves on our mining concessions are charged to operations as incurred.

Purchase of Technical Data

Technical data, including engineering reports, maps, assessment reports, exploration samples certificates, surveys, environmental studies and other miscellaneous information, may be purchased for our mining concessions.  When purchased for concessions without proven reserves the cost is considered research and development pertaining to a developing mine and in accordance with the Research and Development (R&D) Topic of the FASB ASC is expensed when incurred.

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic FASB ASC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation

allowances relating to the realization of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, we continually assess the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets.

Stock Based Compensation

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

Shares issued to employees are expensed upon issuance.

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

Net Loss per Common Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Earnings per Share Topic of the FASB ASC. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of employee stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred net loss. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company incurred a net loss, resulting in no potentially dilutive common shares.

Fair Value Accounting

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance

Adopted

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance for "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets," which eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity," changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity's continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance for the period ended March 31, 2010. It does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending existing guidance. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. This guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance for the period ended March 31, 2010. It does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Issued

In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable's selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective on January 1, 2011. The Company has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 2.

Property, plant, equipment, mine development and land

We believe that the deferred tax asset above is realizable, net of the valuation allowance disclosed, due to Adit’s letter of intent with Yamana that grants Yamana an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in Adit’s Picacho gold/silver project.  Additionally, interest from various parties has also been expressed towards El Oro (a concession within the Don Roman Groupings), Tara Gold iron ore, gold, copper prospect. Based on this interest, Tara Gold has been investigating the economic merits surrounding the iron ore market, has found favorable results, and is now working on a number of development strategies relating to iron ore.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The future use of deferred tax assets is dependent on the future taxable profits which arise from taxable temporary timing differences such as:

·

Differences in expensed stock based compensation and stock for investor relation services and corporate officers.

·

The capitalization of foreign mining exploration expenses for federal income tax purposes.

·

Differences in calculating Joint Venture profits (losses).

·

Differences in calculating gain on the dilution of joint ventures.

·

Differences resulting from installment sales.

·

A carryforward of a net operating loss.

At December 31, 2010 total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows:

The 2009 total deferred tax asset was $1,747,700 inclusive of a valuation allowance of $2,923,600.  The amount was fully utilitized in 2010 as a result of the Tara Gold United States IRS audit.  The presentation between 2009 and 2010 above is different due to the changes in ownership between parent and subsidiary and the ability to file consolidated tax returns with the entities in each year.
