STRATEGIC MINING CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)
 
1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Nature of Business

Strategic Mining Corp. is engaged in the business of exploration and development of gold properties in Guinea, West Africa and Vietnam, Southeast Asia.
 
Organization
 
Strategic Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Delaware on August 24, 1995, as Infocenter Inc. On February 28, 2000, the Company changed its name to Green Dolphin Systems Corporation (“Green Dolphin”) and new corporate officers were appointed.  On January 10, 2006, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted a resolution authorizing the assignment of all the assets of Green Dolphin to PentaDeltex, Ltd., a Canadian corporation (“PentaDeltex”), in exchange for the forgiveness of $263,717 in debt owing to Nicholas Plessas and an additional $153,683 owing to PentaDeltex, and assumption by PentaDeltex of all obligations owed by Green Dolphin to suppliers and on other accounts payable.  As the result of the above settlements of debts, Green Dolphin effectively ceased operations on January 10, 2006 with the discontinued operations of its U.S. subsidiary.  On December 1, 2006, the Company changed its name to Gold Coast Mining Corporation and new corporate officers were appointed shortly thereafter.  On January 17, 2007, the Company issued 97,100,000 shares of its common stock to unrelated parties in exchange for various mining rights.  The issuance of the 97,100,000 shares of its common stock represented approximately 97.5% of the then outstanding shares.  The transaction resulted in a change in control of the entity.  The issuance of shares of common stock and change in control has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition followed by a recapitalization of the Company’s equity structure.  The stockholders obtaining control in the transaction is considered the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the equity section of the financial statements have been presented displaying the recapitalization of shares held by the individuals obtaining control followed by the issuance of shares to the minority stockholders.
 
On November 13, 2009, the Company was reincorporated in the State of Wyoming. On November 23, 2009, the Company changed its name to Strategic Mining Corp.

On July 11, 2012, the Board amended the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase its authorized common shares from 400,000,000 to unlimited.
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q. 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company is in the exploration stage in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 915 “Development Stage Entities”.

 
F-5

 
 
2.  GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception and has working capital deficiencies that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to raise capital, to successfully market and sell its products, and/or to resolve the stock trading suspension issue. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued business development and additional equity investment in the Company.
 
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
3.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this update require enhanced disclosures around financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2012-02, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 provides companies with the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, it is required to determine the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value in accordance with Topic 350. If the Company concludes otherwise, no further quantitative assessment is required. ASU-2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-02 to impact its results of operations or financial position.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, the Company’s management has not determined whether implementation of such standards would be material to its financial statements
 
4.  PLANNED EXPLORATION
 
Guinea, West Africa
 
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Gold River of Africa Company (“Gold River”) for the Siguiri property on January 15, 2007.  Gold River is a small mineral exploration company active in Guinea.  Through this joint venture, the Company holds 100% interest in a two year exploration permit issued by the Republic of Guinea to Gold River for this property covering 103 square kilometers in the Siguiri region of Guinea. The Company acquired this interest in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. The Guinea government is entitled to a 15% royalty on all extracted minerals.
 
 
F-6

 
 
An extension of this permit was applied for in May 2011 by Gold River but was under review at the end of 2011 due to the change in governments in Guinea during mid-2011 and subsequent reviews by the government of mining laws and all exploration permits.  The Company paid $35,000 to Gold River to pay the Guinea Ministry of Mines for the permit extension application on behalf of the Company. The permit extension was granted by the Ministry of Mines on April 12, 2012.  The Company’s copy of the permit has not been received yet.
 
Nat Son, Vietnam
 
The Company entered into a binding letter of intent to purchase a 51% interest in a joint venture (“Joint Venture”) with Ba Dinh Mineral Company Limited (“Ba Dinh”), a Vietnamese company engaged in mineral exploration in that country, to explore for minerals per license # 39/QD-UBND issued to Ba Dinh Construction and Investment Joint Stock Company on June 9, 2009, by the Peoples Committee of HoaBinh Province, Vietnam.  This license is valid for five years from the date of issuance and is renewable for an additional four years according to current mining laws in Vietnam.  The permitted area covers 40 square hectares in Nat Son Commune, HoaBinh Province Vietnam.
 
A dispute arose in October 2011 concerning the status of joint work on the Nat Son property between the Company and Ba Dinh as a result of key partners in Ba Dinh disagreeing with the Company about the status of their stock holdings in the Company.  Management, upon consultation with legal counsel, determined that the arguments set forth by those key partners they fail to comply with documentation requests from the Company.  Ba Dinh has been notified of such finding.  The Company is awaiting their response and delivery of key property documents on Nat Son for its records and safe-keeping.  This dispute may result in a disruption or change of our drilling plan on the Nat Son property for 2012.
  
Legal counsel in Vietnam was retained during the first quarter of 2012 to investigate the status of the exploration license and any property ownership for the Nat Son project and Joint Venture with Ba Dinh.  The exploration license was found to be valid and active until June 8, 2014, in the name of Ba Dinh Construction Investment and Consulting Joint Stock Company.  Results of such investigation from our Vietnam legal counsel are pending to confirm the status of the Joint Venture, and the ownership or lease of the underlying property.  There is not enough information available on the legal status of the Joint Venture and the Nat Son property to determine whether or not Ba Dinh has performed according to the requirements of the binding letter of intent.  Therefore, the project was written down in the fourth quarter of 2011 to allow for possible permanent impairment.  Management’s opinion on this matter is that the project still is potentially viable, but all Joint Venture activities with Ba Dinh may need to cease if a mutually agreeable solution cannot be reached.  If the Joint Venture is formally dissolved, the Company may pursue legal options in Vietnam during 2012 to recover payments made to Ba Dinh for expenses that they have not documented adequately or for which official government documentation has not been provided for the project.

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

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Strategic Mining Corp. (the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are (collectively, the “Filings”) based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
 
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Our Business and Plan of Operation

We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration and development of gold mining properties in the regions of Vietnam and West Africa.  We plan to complete further exploration, drilling and mapping on our Siguiri property in Guinea, West Africa. This exploration program, includes goals of completing surface geochemical sampling of termite mounds and non-laterite outcrops by mid-2013, initiation of a limited drilling program in areas already identified as having significant gold occurrences by early 2012, and performance of at least an airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey of the concession to better target drilling and further geological work in conjunction with sampling results.  Performance of all these aspects of this exploration program require adequate funding, which the Company is pursuing through all available avenues.  Exploration timing and exact program for the Nat Son property in Vietnam is uncertain until joint venture issues can either be resolved with Ba Dinh or it is clear that no further progress is possible.

Results of Operations

The Company is an exploration stage mining company with no revenues since entering the exploration stage.   

Three months ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three months ended September 30, 2011

Revenues

Operating Expenses

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $5,068, as compared to $3,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase was primarily due to a penalty of $36,250 payable on two convertible notes issued to Asher during the first quarter of 2012 which are in default.

Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $22,293, as compared to $2,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in professional fees was primarily due to the Company incurring higher expenses for disclosure and reporting requirements for completion of its securities filings and convertible notes issuances.

Exploration costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $21,294, as compared to $66,552 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease in exploration costs was primarily due to a decrease in exploration activity on the Siguiri property in Guinea.

Consulting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $27,776 as compared to $43,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The consulting fees during the three months ended September 30 2012 were mainly from the consulting fees accrued by Doug Peters ($19,928) and Atlantic Gold Mining Corp. ($7,500).  

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $76,431, as compared to a net loss of $115,416 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease in net loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in consulting fees and exploration expenses as a result of a decrease in exploration activity in the Siguiri property in Guinea.

Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no revenues.

Operating Expenses
 
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $52,924, as compared to $7,872 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to a penalty of $36,250 payable on two convertible notes issued to Asher during the first quarter of 2012 which are in default.

Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $86,743, as compared to $42,274 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in professional fees was primarily due to the Company incurring higher expenses for disclosure and reporting requirements for completion of its securities filings and convertible notes issuances. 
 
Exploration costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $153,065, as compared to $195,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease in exploration costs was a result of a decrease in exploration activity on the Siguiri property in Guinea.

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.00, as compared to $18,374 for the nine months ended September 30 2011.  The equipment was depreciated in the prior year but was written off during the fourth quarter of 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued 30,978,934 commitment shares upon signing of agreement with AGS Capital.  These shares were included for accounting purposes as part of consulting fees and valued at $.001 per share.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $470,314, as compared to a net loss of $412,503 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to the increase in consulting fees and professional fees related to the advances on convertible notes and refinancing during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the penalty of $36,250 payable on two convertible notes issued to Asher during the first quarter of 2012 which are currently in default.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,178,108 and a working capital deficit of $900,312. For the nine months ended September 30 2012, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $198,267, as compared to $173,812 for the nine months ended September 30 2011. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to increase in consulting fees and professional fees related to the advances on convertible notes and refinancing during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
As of September 30 2012, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred for the exploration operations.  Cash flows for investing purposes decreased during the nine months ending September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011 because no new properties were added to the Company during the latest nine month period.  Cash flows from financing activities increased slightly during the nine months ending September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011 based upon available financing sources and types of financing instruments during the latest nine month period.

We will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing in the next twelve months in order to fund our planned operations and repay, restructure, or refinance our debt obligations. Our current operating plans for the next fiscal year are to meet our existing customer commitments, expand our exploration and engineering capabilities, and continue to develop innovative solutions for our customers. Although we will have to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity during the next twelve months, there can be no assurance that financing will be available, or if available, that such financing will be upon terms acceptable to us.  The process of initiating a Reserve Equity Financing (the “REF Agreement”) with AGS Capital Corp. (“AGS”), for a total available financing of $5,000,000, commenced in the first quarter of 2012.  This required issuance of 2,325,581 in restricted shares of common stock to AGS in exchange for $20,000 in services to allow for preparation of the related documents and discussions. Additional restricted shares of common stock of 30,978,934 were issued to AGS in the second quarter 2012 as commitment shares required under the REF Agreement.  Advances on the total available financing have not been requested pending filing of this quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012.
 
We will need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing in the next twelve months in order to fund our planned operations and repay, restructure or refinance our debt obligations. Our current operating plans for the next fiscal year are to meet our existing customer commitments, expand our marketing and sales and engineering capabilities, and continue to develop innovative solutions for our customers. Although we will have to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity during the next twelve months, there can be no assurance that financing will be available, or if available, that such financing will be upon terms acceptable to us.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
 
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended as a brief discussion of some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Registration Statement. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2012 and as amended on October 24, 2012.  While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company’s consolidated 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.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

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 Control over Financial Reporting.
 
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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.
 
Other than as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2012, we are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry 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 1A.  Risk Factors.

Other than the risk factor below there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2012.

Suspension of Trading May Adversely Affect the Liquidity of our Common Stock.

On September 17, 2012, the US Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of trading in the securities of the Company(the “Release”).  Pursuant to the Release, trading in our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) was suspended from 9:30 a.m. EDT on September 17, 2012 through 11:59 p.m. EDT on September 28, 2012. We are currently reviewing the requirements necessary to permit our stock to resume trading on the OTCBB. There is no assurance as to when or whether our stock will resume trading on the OTCBB. Furthermore, there is no assurance that new cease trade orders will not be issued in the future. Accordingly, we cannot ensure that a trading market will be maintained for our shares and if a market is maintained, we cannot ensure that any level of trading activity will be sustained or that, if sustained, that it constitutes a liquid trading market which allows persons who purchase our common stock to promptly liquidate their investment at any time. Persons who purchase our common stock may have difficulty liquidating their investment because of the lack of a market or the difficulty in maintaining a market for such shares.
