Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1

ORGANIZATION


The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc., EnShale, Inc., Dourave Mining and Exploration, Inc., Dourave Mineracao E Exploracao Mineral LTDA, Dourave-Bullion Limited Partnership and Dourave-Bullion Mineracao E Exploracao Mineral LTDA (collectively referred to as “Bullion” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the SEC for unaudited interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012.  For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, and footnotes thereto included in Bullion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the income statements for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2011, to conform to the 2012 presentation.


NOTE 3

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Exploration and Development Costs

In general, exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  When Bullion has determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to acquire and develop such property are capitalized.  Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.  Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.

NOTE 5

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05: Presentation of Comprehensive Income 2011-05

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update related to presentation of Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2011-05 requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement would include components of net income, and the second statement would include components of other comprehensive income. This ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. With the subsequent update to ASU 2011-12, these provisions are now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and for interim periods within those fiscal years; however, early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2011-05, when adopted, are not expected to have a material impact on Bullion’s consolidated financial statements.


Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04: Fair value measurements update 2011-04

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to the authoritative guidance related to fair value measurements as a result of the FASB and the IASB working together to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments will add new disclosures, with a particular focus on Level 3 measurements. The objective of these amendments is to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. Bullion does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 6

STOCK OPTION PLAN


On February 18, 2011, the Board of Directors of Bullion approved the 2011 Stock Option Plan of Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Bullion’s common stock to directors, employees and consultants of Bullion, including officers and directors who are employees of Bullion.  Under the 2011 Plan, the granting of options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Company’s Board, or a committee designated by the Board to administer the 2011 Plan.  The term of options granted under the 2011 Plan may not exceed 10 years. No options have been granted under the 2011 Plan.


NOTE 7

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011 and in Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II - Other Information of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Plan of Operation


Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion”) is a gold-focused royalty company with additional interests in oil-shale technology and other mineral assets directly and through its subsidiaries.  Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company” “we”, “us” or “our” refer, collectively, to Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and all references in this section to “Bullion” refer to Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc.  We seek to acquire existing mineral royalties or to finance mining projects that are in production or in development stage in exchange for royalty interests or a participating interest. We are engaged in a continual review of opportunities to create new royalties or participating interests through the financing of mine development or exploration, or the acquisition of companies that hold royalties. The majority of our current revenues are derived from a high-quality royalty claim block located in Northeastern Nevada’s Carlin Trend, which we call our Carlin Trend Royalty. We also have an interest in various mineral assets in North and South America in the exploration stage, which we believe have the potential to generate future royalty or other revenues.


Bullion has the following subsidiaries: Dourave Mining and Exploration Inc. (“Dourave Canada”), Dourave Mineracao E Exploracao Mineral Ltda (“Dourave Brazil” and collectively with Dourave Canada, “Dourave”), Dourave-Bullion Joint Venture, L.P. DBA Dourave-Bullion Limited Partnership (“DB Partnership”), Dourave-Bullion Mineracao E Exploracao Mineral LTDA (“DBM”) and EnShale Inc. (“EnShale”).


Dourave Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bullion and through Dourave Canada, Bullion holds a 99.99% ownership interest in Dourave Brazil.  Dourave Canada was federally incorporated under the laws of Canada as 6854893 Canada Inc. in November 2007 and changed its name to Dourave Mining and Exploration Inc. in December 2007.  The registered office of Dourave Canada is c/o Peterson Law Professional Corporation Suite 806, 390 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2.


Dourave Brazil was incorporated under the laws of Brazil in September 2007. The registered office of Dourave Brazil is c/o Avenida Alcindo Cacela, 1264 Bairro – Nazare, CEP 66.060-000, Belem, Para Brazil. The DB Partnership is organized under the laws of the state of Utah and is owned 33% by Bullion and 66% by Dourave Brazil. DBM was organized under the laws of Brazil and is 99% owned by DB Partnership.


Bullion holds an 80% ownership interest in EnShale. EnShale was incorporated under the laws of Wyoming in July 2000 under the name International Energy Resource Development, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to EnShale, Inc. in September 2005.  The registered office of EnShale is 2710 Thomes Ave. Cheyenne, WY 82001.


We are a self-funded natural resource company focused on the generation of royalties from exploring for and developing world class mining opportunities.  Our financial results are primarily tied to the price of gold and production from our producing stage royalty interests. Our current royalty portfolio generates high-margin free cash flow with lower exposure to operating and capital costs than typical operating companies.  Our royalties also provide for direct leverage to commodity prices and the exploration potential of world-class ore deposits and mineral exploration trends where we have existing royalty interests. In the past we have internally funded our mineral exploration projects as well as our oil shale technology subsidiary, EnShale. We are working to monetize our substantial oil-shale assets through EnShale.


As of January 31, 2012, the Company owns royalties on four (4) producing properties, one (1) development stage property, one (1) exploration stage property and one (1) property not currently being explored. Additionally, the Company holds 100% of the exploration and development rights to five properties in Brazil and two (2) properties in the United States.  During the three months ended January 31, 2012, we focused primarily on the advancement of our exploration stage properties and the management of our existing royalty interests.

 

We plan to continue seeking new mining projects with the potential to increase our royalty portfolio.  We are currently focused on exploring and evaluating properties in Brazil. The Company has three primary exploration projects in Brazil; Bom Jesus, Bom Jardim and Ouro Mil, which are gold-focused. Our joint venture partner Brazilian Gold, had planned to begin drilling on the Ouro Mil property in the first or second quarter of 2012. Recently they have informed us that they intend to push back the date for the commencement of drilling on the Ouro Mil property, but have not indicated a potential start date. As previously reported, based on extensive stream sediment sampling programs on both Bom Jesus and Bom Jardim already completed,

which resulted in anomalous results that we believe to be encouraging, we are planning our next phase of exploration on these properties. In addition we are speaking with potential exploration partners regarding advancement of these properties.


In addition to the properties mentioned above, we are working with larger mining companies on possible joint venture agreements on our other Brazilian properties. During the quarter we completed our third phase of stream sediment work on our Calderas property, achieving what we believe are excellent results. Based on the results, we have outlined two main anomalous zones and various smaller anomalies, all following the same geological patterns and with associated regional magnetic lows. In the north-northeastern corner of the property we have delineated an anomalous trend overlying a regional magnetic low with an extension of 8km x 5km on which our field exploration teams are currently opening a geochemical grid. The Brazilian properties discussed here as well as other mineral assets in North and South America are presently considered to be in the exploration stage and are not currently producing ore or producing income.


We continue to develop a process through our subsidiary EnShale, which we believe can extract the oil content from oil shale on a commercially reasonable and economically beneficial basis.  EnShale intends to continue evaluating alternatives to fund the construction of the expected full production plant and underground mining operation in the Vernal, Utah area, in anticipation of successful results from EnShale’s demonstration plant.


Results of Operations


Quarter Ended January 31, 2012, compared to the Quarter Ended January 31, 2011


Our largest revenue source is produced from our 1% Carlin Trend Royalty.  Currently the primary source of revenue from this royalty is derived from production at Newmont’s Leeville Mine. Our revenue for the quarter ended January 31st was $1,672,009 compared to $1,779,069 for the same quarter last year. The decrease of $107,060 was due primarily to a decrease in production royalty ounces of gold offset by an increase in the price per ounce of gold, compared with the same quarter last year. The price and marketability of gold are influenced by various factors beyond the control of the Company and may have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, our revenue is based on gold production from mines on which we have royalties but that we do not operate, which creates a level of unpredictability that could have a material, adverse effect on our results.


Total operating expenses in the quarter ended January 31, 2012, were $1,370,845 compared to $804,161 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011, an increase of $566,684. The major contributor to increased operating expense was an increase in exploration expense of $397,343 related to work on our Brazilian properties, plus smaller increases in most other operating expenses. General and administrative expense for the quarter ended January 31, 2012, was $316,531 compared to $266,350 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011, an increase of $50,181. Salary & benefits expense increased to $250,129 for the quarter ended January 31, 2012, compared to $171,224 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011. Professional fees expense for the quarter ended January 31, 2012, increased to $228,428, compared with professional fees expense of $148,898 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011, an increase of $79,530. Research and development expense related to EnShale’s research on oil shale processing was $94,814 for the quarter ended January 31, 2012, compared to $128,736 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011. The decrease in R&D expense of $33,922 was a result of less activity at our demonstration plant compared to the same period a year earlier.  The decrease in revenue combined with higher operating expenses resulted in a decrease in operating income of $673,744, with operating income for the quarter ended January 31, 2012, of $301,164 compared with operating income of $974,908 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011.


In the quarter ended January 31, 2012, we had total other expense of $77,292. This compares to total other income of $5,207 in the quarter ended January 31, 2011. We incurred interest expense of $17,175 and had a loss on sale of assets resulting from the sale of the Vernal property used as an office facility by EnShale, offset by interest income of $809 in the quarter ended January 31, 2012. In the quarter ended January 31, 2012, we had an income tax benefit of $268,031 compared to the quarter ended January 31, 2011, in which we had a provision for income taxes of $226,293, a difference of $494,324. For the quarter ended January 31, 2012, we recorded net income attributable to our shareholders of $527,136, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income attributable to our shareholders of $793,161, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended January 31, 2011. In the quarter ended January 31, 2012, we had a gain on foreign currency translation of $33,944 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $51,249, resulting in net comprehensive income of $509,831 versus net comprehensive income of $770,497 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011.

Nine Months Ended January 31, 2012, compared to the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2011


As stated above, our financial results are primarily tied to the production from our producing stage royalty interests and the price of gold. Royalty revenues decreased slightly to $4,524,129 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, as compared to $4,551,187 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease in royalty revenue of $27,058 is primarily a result of a decrease in production royalty ounces of gold offset by an increase in the price per ounce of gold.   


Professional fees for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, were $769,347 compared to $639,786 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, an increase of $129,561. Salaries & benefits expense increased to $718,344 in the nine months ended January 31, 2012, from $506,482 in the nine month period ended January 31, 2011. The increase of $211,862 is primarily related to the additional salary & benefits expense of Dourave.  General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, were $706,909 compared to $510,374 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011. Also included in operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 were $1,470,614 in exploration expenses related to the exploration work done on our properties in Brazil and write down of mining property of $1,365,879 related to writing off work done on our Niquelandia bauxite property which we discontinued for lack of acceptable results. For the nine month period ended January 31, 2012, total operating expenses were $5,518,185 versus $2,247,672 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011.The increase in operating expense of $3,270,513 is mostly related to higher exploration expenses on our Brazilian properties, a write-down of the mining property cost of the Niquelandia project and is also a reflection of the increased costs of absorbing Dourave overhead expenses. We had an operating loss of $994,056 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, compared to operating income of $2,303,515 for the nine months ended January 31, 2011, a decrease of $3,297,571.

 

In the nine months ended January 31, 2012, we had a benefit for income taxes of $617,411 compared with a provision for income taxes in the nine months ended January 31, 2011 of $383,750, a difference of $1,001,161. We had a net loss attributable to our shareholders of $397,632 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, or ($.01) per basic and diluted share, which represents a decrease of  $2,028,416 from the net income attributable to shareholders in the nine month period ended January 31, 2011, of $1,630,784 or $.04 per basic and diluted share. The change in unrealized loss on marketable securities for the nine months ended January 31, 2012, was ($38,604) compared to a change in unrealized loss of ($137,696) for the nine months ended January 31, 2011.  For the nine month period ended January 31, 2012, we had a net comprehensive loss of ($603,787) compared to a net comprehensive income of $ $1,493,088 for the same period last year, a decrease of $2,096,875.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


During the quarter ended January 31, 2012, liquidity needs were met from $1,672,009 in royalty revenues. At January 31, 2012, we had current assets of $1,777,131 compared to current liabilities of $268,219, for a current ratio of 6.63 to 1. This compares to current assets of $1,274,300 and current liabilities of $839,862 at April 30, 2011, resulting in a current ratio of approximately 1.52 to 1.


We believe that our current financial resources and funds generated from operations will be adequate to cover anticipated expenditures for cost of operations expenses including: general and administrative, exploration, research and development, business development expenses, capital expenditures, and property and royalty acquisition for the foreseeable future. We currently have, and generally at any time, may have acquisition opportunities in various stages of active review.  In the event of a substantial royalty or other acquisition, we may seek additional debt or equity financing opportunities. We operate in a rapidly evolving and often unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we may not be required to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or from additional credit facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, if at all.


Please refer to our Risk Factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, for a discussion of certain risks that may impact the our liquidity and capital resources in light of the recent economic downturn.  


On April 26, 2011, we established a commercial line of credit with JP Morgan Chase Bank, in the amount of $500,000. The interest rate applied to any unpaid principal balance is LIBOR+3.081%. The line of credit is reviewed annually for renewal. As of January 31, 2012 there were no outstanding advances on this line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We had no off-balance sheet arrangements during the period or periods covered by this Quarterly Report or our consolidated financial statements that accompany this Quarterly Report.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


Not required of smaller reporting companies.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings.


From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of their merits, these matters may force us to expend significant financial resources. Except as indicated below, we are not a party to any pending material legal proceeding. To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against us. No director, executive officer or affiliate of ours or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of our common stock is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us in any proceeding.


We filed Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. v. Newmont USA Limited (Case No. 3:08-cv-00227-ECR-VPC) in the United States District Court, District of Nevada (Reno) on April 28, 2008.  The case concerns whether Newmont USA Limited is required to pay us, in addition to the underlying one percent (1.0%) gross smelter return royalty on the core property (which is not in dispute), a one percent (1.0%) gross smelter return royalty on any mineral properties within the “area of interest” defined in an Agreement regarding the property dated May 10, 1979 (the “1979 Agreement”).  On September 16, 2010, the Court granted Newmont USA’s Motion for Summary Judgment on the issue of laches and did not reach the merits of Newmont USA’s remaining Motions for Summary Judgment.  The Court also denied our Motion for Summary Judgment.  On or about September 23, 2010, we filed a Motion to Reconsider, which was denied on or about January 25, 2011.  On October 14, 2010, we filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as to whether the District Court erred in applying the doctrine of laches. Each party’s opening brief has been filed and oral arguments have been scheduled for May 16, 2012.  We anticipate that it will be several months before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decides the matter.  Given the status of the litigation, we are unable to determine the outcome of the case and intend to continue to prosecute the case in our best interest.


We filed Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. v. Barrick Goldstrike Mines, Inc. (Case No. 3:09-cv-00612-ECR-VPC) in the United States District Court, District of Nevada (Reno) on April 28, 2008.  The case concerns whether Barrick Goldstrike Mines, Inc. (“Barrick”) is required to pay us, a one percent (1%) gross smelter return royalty on any mineral properties within the “area of interest” defined in the 1979 Agreement.  On or about February 7, 2011 the Court granted Barrick’s August 6, 2010 Motion for Summary Judgment finding that the royalty violated the Rule Against Perpetuities and was thus void.  The Court did not address the merits of Barrick’s remaining Summary Judgment Motion, but did deny our Motion for Summary Judgment.  On February 25, 2011 we filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as to whether the District Court erred in its application of the Rule Against Perpetuities.  Each party’s opening briefs have been filed and oral arguments have been scheduled for May 16, 2012. Given the status of the litigation, we are unable to determine the outcome of the case and intend to continue to prosecute the case in our best interest.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors.


The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are subject to various risks. These risks are described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011. The risk factors identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011 have not changed in any material respect.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.


On November 8, 2011, the Company issued 185,763 shares of common stock to Sergio Aquino, a shareholder of the Company, in full repayment of principal and interest in the amount of R$357,468 under loans Mr. Aquino made as a shareholder to Dourave prior to Bullion’s acquisition of Dourave, The loan amount was converted to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of R$ 1.6036 and the shares were issued at an issue price of $1.20 per share. The shares were issued in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2).
