Description of Business
 
Iron Mining Group, Inc., formerly WorldVest, Inc., (hereafter “IMG,” “Iron Mining Group” or the “Company”) was organized September 17, 2007, under the laws of the State of Florida, under the name Catalyst Ventures Incorporated.  On July 2, 2009, the Company filed an amendment with the Florida Secretary of State changing the Company’s name to WorldVest, Inc. Subsequently, on October 15, 2010, the Company changed its name again to Iron Mining Group, Inc.  The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001.

The Company is an iron ore mining company, with its focus on the acquisition and development of iron ore mining properties in Chile and Mexico.  On August 27, 2010, Iron Mining Group closed on the acquisition of 100% of CIM Mineral Investors, S.A., a BVI mineral holding company (“CIM Mineral”) that owns 99.9% of Minera Iron Mining Group Chile, Ltda. (formerly Chile Inversiones de Minerales, Ltda.) (“IMG Chile”).  Iron Mining Group amended the terms of the transaction on November 19, 2010.  IMG Chile is considered the Chilean parent operating company for all Iron Mining Group iron ore business in Chile and currently holds a 100% equity interest in the Atacama Desert Iron Ore Mine, a 100% equity interest in the Tocopilla Iron Sands Mine and a 50% equity interest in Cruz Grande, S.A., with an option to acquire another 20%.  On March 31, 2011, the terms were amended and finalized, whereby 32,000,000 shares of Iron Mining Group common stock were issued for the acquisition of CIM Mineral.  22,000,000 of these shares were escrowed and will vest upon successful production and export of 1,000,000 metric tons of iron ore from CIM Mineral’s properties.  Iron Mining Group also owns 99.9% of the outstanding shares of Heirro IMG Mexico, S.A. de CV and 100% of IMG Iron Ore Trading, S.A. a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”).

In the first six months of 2011, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned operating subsidiary in Mexico under the name of Hierro IMG Mexico, SA de CV, and has signed two letters of intent for iron ore exploration and development joint ventures.
 
In the first six months of 2011, the Company incorporated IMG Iron Ore Trading, S.A. in the BVI, which will serve as the international trading subsidiary for all iron ore produced in Chile and Mexico.

Development Stage

The Company was in development stage through December 31, 2009.  The 2010 fiscal year was the first year during which the Company was considered an operating company and was no longer in the development stage.  In November 2010, the Company discontinued its operations as a global merchant bank and became focused on building its iron ore mining business and re-entered development stage on November 19, 2010, and is still considered to be in the development stage.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Management has included all nominal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative results for a full year.  The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2010 annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Principles of Combination and Consolidation
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations” ASC 805 a “business combination” excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of equity interests between entities under common control.  ASC 805 also states that transfers of net assets or exchanges of equity interests between entities under common control should be accounted for similar to the pooling-of-interests method (“as-if pooling-of-interests”) in that the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests initially recognizes the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. Because the Company and WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest were under common control at the time of the acquisitions, the transfer of assets and liabilities of WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was viewed as a change in reporting entity and, as a result, required restatement of the Company’s financial statements for all periods subsequent to June 18, 2009, the date of the transaction and the date at which common control of the Company and WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest by Iron Mining Group, Inc. commenced.  Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010, and the consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit and consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, include Iron Mining Group, Inc. consolidated with the assets of CIM Mineral Investors, S.A. which includes Minera Iron Mining Group Chile, Ltda. and our 50% interest in Cruz Grande, S.A. and Heirro IMG Mexico, S.A. de CV.  As of December 31, 2010, Iron Mining Group transferred the ownership of FutureVest to The WorldVest Fund, S.A. in a related party transaction causing for a gain on the sale of assets of $35,152, so these two entities are no longer part of our consolidating financial statements.

Business Combinations

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations,” (“ASU 2010-29”) which addresses diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations.  ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the consolidated entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  The amendments in ASU 2010-29 also expand supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  The new standard is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The impact on the Company of adopting the new standard will depend on the nature, terms and size of the business combinations completed after the adoption date.

Cash and Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  There were $30,572 and $2,597,486 cash equivalents as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

In 2011, the Company anticipates being able to recognize revenue from the sale of iron ore against its purchase contracts from its two customers in China.  Revenue from the sale of iron ore will be recognized at the time the product is loaded on a ship and said ship leaves port.  All payments for product will be made through a letter of credit, which will be drawn against at the time ship is loaded and leaves port.

Stock-based compensation
 
The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees.  Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Dividends

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company declared a share dividend of 178,321 common shares with a market value of $342,090 as payment on the Class B Preferred Shares issued as of December 31, 2010.  Some of this dividend has not been issued and is reflected as a balance in the common stock payable equity account.
 
Loss per common share

The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is computed by adding to the weighted average shares the dilutive effect if stock options and warrants were exercised into common stock.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the denominator in the diluted EPS computation is the same as the denominator for basic EPS because the Company had net losses and the 15,475,740 warrants outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized.  In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.  A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition.  In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.  Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods.  Also included is guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not record a provision for income taxes because the Company has incurred taxable losses since its formation in 2007.  As it has no history of generating taxable income, the Company reduces any deferred tax assets by a full valuation allowance.  The Company anticipates incurring additional taxable losses while it completes the development and commercialization of its iron ore mining business.  The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and city income taxation, though it has not been since its inception.

Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and city income taxation, though it has not been since its inception.
 
Use of Estimate

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair value of the financial instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis in the accompanying balance sheet.  The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and payables.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, due to their short-term nature.

 
·
Level 1 – The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market.  Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability.  However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 
·
Level 2 – FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information.  To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.

 
·
Level 3 – If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through ASU 2011-02 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements, except for the following.
 
In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met.
 
For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for the amendments in this update to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Some of the amendments clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For public entities, the new guideline is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively.  The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 – “Business Combinations – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”, ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect a material impact of adopting ASU 2010-29 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company; however, it will affect the disclosures in the footnotes.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 - “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other—When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”, ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-28 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Fiscal Year End

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Note 2: Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has accumulated consolidated net losses through June 30, 2011.  The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $5,712,085 as of June 30, 2011.

These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or sale of its common stock as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

Management’s plan, in this regard, is to focus its efforts on the development of the current projects within IMG Mexico and IMG Chile to rapidly reach commercial production and export of iron ore against its existing Chinese iron ore off take agreements.  The Company has made prepayments on its first iron ore from junior miners in Mexico and executed a contract to sell 300,000 WMT of 62% finished iron ore.  It anticipates making its first deliveries by September 2011 and complete the full contract by December 31, 2011 whereby it projects profits over $8,000,000 USD.

In addition, the Company recently launched IMG Iron Ore Trading, S.A. as its international iron ore trading company and executed a Put Option Agreement, whereby the OroGrande Iron Ore Company can put to IMG Iron Ore Trading the first 180,000 metric tons through December 31, 2011.  The Company also advanced $400,000 as a prepayment on the first 10,000 MT to be delivered on this agreement.  Additionally, the Company agreed to a permanent assignment of the Installment Contract from OroGrande Iron Ore Company.  With the immediate export and sale of the first 180,000 metric tons of iron ore under the first confirmed put option, IMG will begin generating significant ongoing cash flow to cover all operating expense and fully repay any current debts the company may have incurred and automatically trigger the permanent assignment for the balance of the 5,980,000 metric tons over the 3 year period.

The Company anticipates beginning initial production on its Atacama Desert Iron Ore Mine through the instillation of a pilot plant in late 2011, with full commercial production targeted for early 2012.  Next, the Company anticipates receiving final authorizations to begin commercial mining on its Chilean ocean sands projects in the first half of 2013.

Note 3: Mineral Assets and Valuation

The following acquisitions completed by the Company were all accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, their results of operations have been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements since the respective dates of acquisition.

On August 27, 2010 and amended on November 19, 2010 and further amended on March 31, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of CIM Mineral Investors, S.A. a BVI mineral holding company that owns 99.9% of Minera Iron Mining Group Chile, Ltda. (formerly Chile Inversiones de Minerales, Ltda.) “IMG Chile”, which holds a 100% equity interest in the Atacama Desert Iron Ore Mine, a 100% equity interest in the Tocopilla Iron Sands Mine and a 50% equity interest in Cruz Grande, S.A, which owns 100% of Chispitas Doradas Mineral Concession, with an option to acquire another 20%.

Note 3: Mineral Assets and Valuation (Continued)

Javalon, S.A., the Company’s majority stockholder, originally acquired CIM Mineral Investors, S.A. from a group of investors in exchange for equity in Javalon, S.A., which simultaneously transferred 100% ownership of CIM Mineral Investors, S.A., along with the negotiated pass through earn-out performance conditions for a total of 32,000,000 shares of Iron Mining Group common stock.

At this time, the full 22,000,000 shares are issued and held in escrow based on an earn-out provision that provides for release based on 1,000,000 metric tons of iron ore produced and exported from its Chilean iron ore properties.

At this time the Company is in the process of engaging an independent mineral valuation company and an independent business valuation company in order to assist the Company with determining the fair value of the CIM Mineral Investors, S.A. transaction in an attempt to record the proper valuation of its two iron ore assets on the Company’s Financial Statements.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company has preliminarily valued the two Chilean iron ore assets at $32,000, which equates to the par value of the number of shares issued as part of the agreement including the contingent consideration of 22,000,000 escrowed shares pending the earn-out provision.  The Company has placed a fair value of $0 on the 7,500,000 warrants issued as part of the agreement.  During the course of the next year, the Company will take the necessary steps to properly value the transaction.

On November 19, 2010, the Company closed on a third iron ore asset acquisition when it acquired 50% of Cruz Grande, S.A. (“Cruz Grande”) and as part of the transaction, the Company paid $300,000 in cash for 50% of the equity with an option to acquire another 20% for $4,000 subject to payment of a pre-existing contingent debt to the minority shareholder of $1,040,000, which is due within 1 year of successful finalization of environmental approval to begin mining the property.  The transaction also called for the assumption of current liabilities of $1,040,000 owed to shareholders, $200,000 overdue for the royalty buyout agreement and another $67,000 of debts to professional contractors engaged by Cruz Grande.
 
Cruz Grande currently owns 100% of the Chispita Doradas Mineral Concession in the fourth region of Chile located about 90 km from La Serena.

As of June 30, 2011, Minera Iron Mining Group Chile, Ltda. (“IMG Chile”) and its subsidiary, Cruz Grande, have not commenced revenue or expense operations and through June 30, 2011, hold ownership positions on certain mineral concession assets.  The Company is in the process of completing independent consolidated 2-year historical audit of IMG Chile, which will include its controlling interest in Cruz Grande.

Neither IMG Chile nor Cruz Grande has any historical income.  The companies hold mineral concessions and have not yet commenced operations as of June 30, 2011, and as such, there is no pro-forma financial information to disclose.

The Company holds a 50% equity interest in Cruz Grande and by contract has two of the three existing seats on the board of directors and as such, we have consolidated Cruz Grande with IMG Chile, with further consolidation up to Iron Mining Group.

The Company will engage an independent mineral valuation company in conjunction with an independent business valuation company in order to determine a fair value for these three assets in an attempt to record the proper valuation as an asset on the books.  The Company issued $40,000,000 in stock for the acquisition of the assets through the issuance of 32,000,000 shares with the understanding that 22,000,000 of these shares are held in escrow and will be vested as the Company produces and sells a minimum of 1,000,000 metric tons of iron ore over the next 7 years.

Note 3: Mineral Assets and Valuation (Continued)

In determining this course of action, the Company is relying on the following GAAP accounting policy:

In some situations, all information required to (1) measure the consideration transferred, (2) identify and measure assets acquired and liabilities assumed, (3) measure the non-controlling interest, and (4) calculate goodwill or abargain purchase will not be available on the date of acquisition.  If accounting for the business combination is incomplete as of the end of the first reporting period subsequent to the combination, the financial statements should reflect provisional amounts used to record the transaction.  As information subsequently becomes available, such provisional amounts should be retrospectively adjusted (which may include recognition of additional identifiable assets acquired or liabilities assumed).  The period over which the new or additional information necessary for a final accounting of the business combination is received (or it is determined that the necessary information is not obtainable) is referred to as the measurement period; note, though, that the measurement period may not extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.  Once the measurement period ends, revisions to amounts recorded in the business-combination transaction may be made only to correct an error.

Over the next six months, the Company plans to set up a pilot plant in the Atacama Desert Iron Ore Mine, which will enable the processing and sale of 5,000 MT per month and allow our projection assumptions to be proven out.  Simultaneously, we will continue our JORC compliant drilling efforts in order to further advance our Atacama reserve estimates.  With this pilot plant proving out our assumptions and continued drilling, the independent valuation companies should be able to come to a fair valuation that can be agreed on by the company and its auditors.

Simultaneously, we will continue pursuit of our final Marine Concession for the Tocopilla and La Serena, which, if granted, will allow us to mine the ocean floor where there are projected to be hundreds of millions of metric tons of raw iron sands with an iron content up to 50%.  It is anticipated that once the marine concession is approved these two properties would become world-class iron ore mineral deposits with substantial value.

As of June 30, 2011, the acquisition has been preliminarily recorded on the Company’s financial statements as follows:

Note 8: Derivative Liabilities

In June 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock.  Under the authoritative guidance, effective January 1, 2009, when the entity does not have enough authorized capital to satisfy the conversion of debt and the exercise of warrants, are deemed to be derivative instruments.  The conversion feature of the Company’s convertible debenture (described in Note 8), the related warrants if exercised and converted into shares of the common stock, the Company does not have enough authorized capital.  Additionally, the Company was required to include the reset conversion price and exercise price provisions in order to allow the holders to any lower prices in future financings. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures was separated from the host contract (i.e. the Convertible Debentures) and recognized as a derivative liability in the balance sheet, and the warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes have been recorded as derivative liabilities in the balance sheet to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with changes in fair values reported in the consolidated statements of operations.

The derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation techniques with the following assumptions:

On April 18, 2011, IMG incorporated a wholly owned Mexican subsidiary under the name of Hierro IMG Mexico, S.A and through this company IMG will conduct iron ore business throughout Mexico.

On May 6, 2011, IMG signed a put option agreement with OroGrande Iron Ore Company, LLC to acquire 180,000 MT of iron ore and an assignment for a three-year installment contract for up to 5,940,000 Metric Tons of iron ore over a 3-year period.  This was filed in an 8K on May 12, 2011.  OroGrande owned by Javalon the majority shareholder of Iron Mining Group, Inc. is managed by Garrett K. Krause who is the current CEO of Iron Mining Group, Inc.

On May 12, 2011, IMG signed an exclusive iron ore development agreement with Minera BarraNava, whereby IMG Mexico has secured the exclusive rights to explore the El Triangulo and La Zorra I & II Mineral Concessions for iron ore.  This Agreement has been cancelled as we did not find sufficient iron ore to justify moving forward.

On May 20, 2011, IMG agreed to buy 300,000 MT of Iron Ore from Minera BarraNava for $80 per DMT and advance Minera BarraNava up to MXN 9,000,000 Pesos (USD $710,000) pursuant to an advance payment against Iron Ore.  This advance is fully secured by a loan agreement from Minera BarraNava to Iron Mining Group, Inc.

Note 15: Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

On June 22, 2011, IMG announced that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary IMG Iron Ore Trading, S.A. ("IMG Trading"), it has agreed to an Iron Ore Sales Contract for 300,000 metric tons ("MT") of minimum 63 percent Fe iron ore to be delivered on FOB terms to the port of Manzanillo, Mexico (the “Contract”).  The Company’s counter-party to this contract is a leading global physical commodities company that completed nearly $80 billion worth of commodities transactions in 2010. Per the Contract, delivery of the initial 100,000 MT is due before August 31, 2011, with the balance of 200,000 MT due before December 31, 2011.

Note 16: Current Litigation

On October 15, 2010, the Company was served a compliant by plaintiff Mr. Sterling Pardoe McGregor, individually, for a wrongful termination of employment by a former contract consultant of a related entity to the Company, with additional claims of trading losses of an account that was not related to the Company, but associated by related parties and contracts. The plaintiff filed the complaint in Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Central District. Private Placement Exchange Services, Inc. defined Benefit Pension Plan was named as an additional secondary plaintiff.  The Company believes that this lawsuit has no basis and at no time was the contactor every contracted, paid or associated with the Company, but was associated as a contractor with other WorldVest branded entities and as such, has added the Company as a defendant.  The Company plans to rigorously defend itself against this claim and is considering filing a counterclaim against the plaintiffs.  The Company believes that this litigation has no merit and will have no material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
On July 15, 2011, as amended on August 15, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against MST Financial, LLC (“MST”), Globe Specialty Metals, Inc., Marco International Corporation, Sunrise Securities Corp., Alan Kestenbaum and Nathan Low (collectively, the “Defendants”).  The Company claimed, inter alia, bad faith conduct on the part of the Defendants in certain business dealings between the Company and the Defendants.  Specifically, the Company made certain claims against all or certain of the Defendants including (i) fraud/fraudulent inducement, (ii) negligent misrepresentation, (iii) breach of fiduciary duty, (iv) breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (v) breach of royalty agreement, (vi) unfair competition, (vii) promissory estoppel, (viii) unjust enrichment, (ix) prima facie tort, and (x) injunction.

On August 16, 2011, the Company became aware of a complaint filed against it by MST in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, to recover the balance of principal, interest, charges, costs, expenses, fees and other indemnities alleged to be owed under that certain secured loan agreement, dated December 20, 2010, by and among MST, as collateral agent, and the lenders identified therein (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders advanced an aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000 to the Company.  Specifically, the complaint makes certain claims against the Company and/or certain other defendants named therein, including (i) non-payment of notes, (ii) replevin, (iii) turnover, (iv) injunction, (v) fraudulent conveyance, (vi) indemnification, and (vii) conversion.
 
Otherwise than disclosed above, there are no other actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.  Various statements have been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that may constitute “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements may also be made in the Company’s other reports filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other documents.  In addition, from time to time, the Company, through its management, may make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Plan of Operations

As the Company continues to execute its business plan in 2011, we aim to further the Company’s position in the Mexican and Chilean iron ore markets, while developing strong iron ore buying relationships.  We continue to take incremental steps forward on all of our projects and set a foundation for the next several years while striving to secure additional high-quality iron ore projects in multiple markets on favorable terms.  During the past 12 months, we have been able to attract a team of specialized individuals to guide IMG through the remainder of the development stage as we enter to commercial iron ore production and revenue growth.  The current plan will be to pursue various property acquisitions aimed at the consistent growth in monthly iron ore exports to China.

We believe that we have an opportunity, in both Mexico and Chile, to cement our position as a significant market participant in these next big global iron ore producing countries.  In the near term, we remain highly focused on generating continued cash flow and subsequent earnings growth through the purchase and sale minerals from Mexico.  In parallel, over the next twelve 12 months, we plan to continue developing our existing Chile mine development projects in both markets toward commercial production, while also acquiring additional strategic iron ore assets with the consolidated goal of maximizing both earnings per share and the net asset value of our investment portfolio.

Currently, due to differences in market regulatory environments and project financing requirements, we believe that we will be able to ship iron ore from Mexico a shorter timeline than those in Chile.  The Chilean market remains an integral component of the long term value proposition of IMG, however based both on the identification of competing opportunities in other markets as well as differences in the regulatory processes in Chile’s market, its emphasis and development timeline have been adjusted accordingly.  We are confident that this modification will prove highly beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

Within the newly launched IMG Iron Ore Trading, we aim to leverage our extensive Chinese off-take agreements in order to sign long term exclusive supply agreements from junior miners not only located in Mexico and Chile.  This trading subsidiary will allow us to create immediate trading revenue in Mexico as we have signed a 300,000 WMT FOB sales contract to be completed by December 31, 2011 with initial deliveries by September 2011.
 
In addition, we look to complete the purchase and export of the initial 180,000 MT that we will receive from our OroGrande put agreement which is also expected to produce revenues for the Company.

Within IMG Mexico, we aim continued development, to grow monthly production and export rates to utilize all available port loading capacity.  At this time we have begun buying and selling iron ore and are generating initial revenues from this business.

Within IMG Chile, we aim to begin production on our Atacama Desert Iron Ore Mine project with the construction of a pilot mineral separation plant in early 2012 with planned growth in monthly production and exports through the two current minerals loading ports in the region.
 
 
23

 
 
Assuming successful execution and refinement of this preliminary mining plan, we aim to ramp to full-scale commercial production initially of 100,000 metric tons per month in early 2012.  Simultaneously, we aim to continue the application process for obtaining marine concessions for each of our current ocean iron sands mining projects, the La Serena Iron Sands mine in the Coquimbo Cluster and the Tocopilla Iron Sands Mine in the Antofagasta Cluster.  Upon the granting of these concessions, estimated to occur in early 2012, we aim to install specialized wet magnetic separation machinery provided by our Chinese partners and begin initial commercial production initially from each of these projects by the first quarter of 2013.

Furthermore, we aim to complete negotiations currently underway with additional mine acquisition and joint venture targets in both Mexico and Chile during the coming months, increasing our portfolio iron ore deposits with the goal of delivering ever-increasing monthly quantities of iron ore against our current maximum monthly offtake contracts, established by our initial two Chinese off take agreements.  Finally, we aim to complete comprehensive JORC-compliant geological studies on each of our portfolio properties to prove existing mineral resources and enable us to book the full value of these assets on our Company’s balance sheet.

During the remainder of 2011 and into 2012, we look to guide Iron Mining Group through the following key milestones:

 
·
Complete full repayment of all $3,300,000 senior bridge loans that were due on June 16, 2011 and are currently in default.

 
·
Close equipment credit lines and follow-on equity financing transactions as necessary to achieve established production goals;

 
·
Complete exploration and enter exploitation (commercial production) for all current projects with the goal of regular monthly iron ore exports against our contracts.

 
·
Make additional strategic acquisitions in both Mexico and Chile.

 
·
Successful growth of IMG Iron Ore Trading by successfully exporting the first 180,000 MT of iron ore contacted from OroGrande Iron Ore Company, LLC

 
·
Successful completion and delivery of 300,000 WMT FOB iron ore contract signed in June 2010 with supply secured from Minera BarraNava by December 31, 2011.

At this time we plan to raise USD $5 million in new working capital into the Company through a Regulation D private placement offering.  The Company is hopeful to secure additional financial and operational resources from our Chinese steel group, institutional investment partners and will receive additional funding from its majority shareholder, Javalon, S.A.   Their involvement and endorsement further confirms our belief that the Company is in the right market, at the right time, and has assembled a strong portfolio of iron ore properties.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had revenue of $0.  Total expenses related to the development of our iron ore business for the three months ended June 30, 2011, totaled $2,197,110 and a non-controlling interest allocation of $124, resulting in a loss of $2,196,986.  Total expenses of $877,671 for the period consisted of $405,924 for general and administrative expenses, $200,254 for investment banking expense, $245,678 for executive management compensation, $13,501 for rent expense, $2,845 for depreciation expense and $9,469 for derivative expense.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we had no iron ore mining related revenue.  Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010, totaled $88,446 resulting in an operating loss of $88,446.  Total expenses of $88,446 for the period consisted of $51,988 for executive compensation, $30,908 for general and administrative expenses, $725 for depreciation expense, and $4,826 for rent expense.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we accounted for the merchant banking and consulting divestiture as “discontinued operations.”  We recorded a net loss on discontinued operations of $34,885.

As a result of the above, our consolidated net loss attributable to common shareholders, including discontinued operations and Allocation to non-controlling interest, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,196,986, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $123,331 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
  
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had revenue of $0.  Total expenses related to the development of our iron ore business for the six months ended June 30, 2011, totaled $ $4,326,443 and a non-controlling interest allocation of $4,246, resulting in a loss of $4,322,197.  Total expenses of $1,562,470 for the period consisted of $656,298 for general and administrative expenses, $422,759 for investment banking expense, $450,000 for executive management compensation, $26,736 for rent expense, $4,409 for depreciation expense and $2,268 for derivative expense.  Additionally, we had interest income of $430, and a loss on foreign exchange of $4,674 and interest expense of $2,759,729, consisting of interest to related parties of $131,271, non-related parties of $256,648 and interest expense of $2,371,810 related to debt discount for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we had no iron ore mining related revenue.  Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, totaled $198,458 resulting in an operating loss of $198,458.  Total expenses of $198,458 for the period consisted of $111,668 for executive compensation, $66,419 for general and administrative expenses, $1,449 for depreciation expense, and $18,923 for rent expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we accounted for the merchant banking and consulting divestiture as “discontinued operations.”  We recorded a net gain on discontinued operations of $148,491.

As a result of the above, our consolidated net loss attributable to common shareholders, including discontinued operations and Allocation to non-controlling interest, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $4,322,197, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $49,967 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had $30,572 in cash, $1,203,531 in total current assets and $6,915,616 in total current liabilities including a non-cash derivative liability of $2,603,765, which can be eliminated once we file a registration statement for the warrants issued pursuant to our December 20, 2010 bridge loan. As of June 30, 2011, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $5,712,085, including the derivative liability and $3,108,320 not including the derivative liability.
 
Also, on June 30, 2011, we had recorded $1,646,985 of long-term liabilities from discontinued operations.

We believe we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash, expected iron ore revenues and continued funding from our majority shareholder, Javalon, S.A.  However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue and additional financing.  We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated.  In the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations.  Even without adequate revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to potentially achieve our profit, revenue, and growth goals.

As reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated December 27, 2010, the Company received convertible financing of $3,300,000 to be used for the development of our existing and targeted iron ore projects in Chile and Mexico.  At this time we have used this money for ongoing working capital and business development in both Chile and Mexico and have made advance payments in excess of $1,200,000 against iron ore to be delivered in the coming months.

On June 21, 2011, the Company, through its newly formed subsidiary IMG Iron Ore Trading, S.A. signed a contract to sell 300,000 MT of Iron Ore on a FOB basis to be delivered by December 31, 2011.  It is anticipated that the contract should provide over $6,000,000 of net profits, which the Company believes will be sufficient to satisfy 100% of our senior secured notes, currently in default, along with all other Company unsecured debt obligations.  The Company signed a contract with Minera BarraNava for delivery 300,000 MT of iron ore through December 31, 2011.  The Company has made certain advance payments to guaranty delivery and will use the current credit along with the advance payments on the FOB contract to successfully delivery all 300,000 MT without needing any further capital.

In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core business.  Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business.  We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future.  Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported.  These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.  We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements.  While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical.  Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Business Combinations

All acquisitions completed by the Company were all accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, their results of operations have been consolidated or combined in the Company’s financial statements since the respective dates of acquisition.

Revenue recognition

In August 2011, the Company started receiving revenue through the buying and selling of iron ore in Mexico and at this time the Company anticipates deliveries 300,000 WMT contact signed in June of 2011.  Revenue will be recognized at the time we deliver the iron ore to the client at his delivery patio in Mexico.
 
 
26

 
 
Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through ASU 2011-02 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements, except for the following.

In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This amendment explains which modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). Under the new guidance, the definition of a troubled debt restructuring remains essentially unchanged, and for a loan modification to be considered a TDR, certain basic criteria must still be met. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for the amendments in this update to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Some of the amendments clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For public entities, the new guideline is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the guidance effective in future periods will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 – “Business Combinations – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”, ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect a material impact of adopting ASU 2010-29 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company; however, it will affect the disclosures in the footnotes.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 - “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other—When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”, ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-28 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s PEO and PFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
