NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations regarding interim financial statements. All amounts included herein related to the financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes there to included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company completed the announced "spin-off" of its wholly owned subsidiary, Bio-Multimin, Inc. to the shareholders in January, 2013. Shares were distributed to each shareholder based on one share of Bio-Multimin, Inc. for each 5 shares of the Company owned shares. Therefore these financial statements are no longer consolidated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. (Formerly U.S. Natural Nutrients and Minerals, Inc.) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 9, 2008.

As used in these Notes to the Financial Statements, the terms the "Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms refer to U. S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. (Formerly U.S. Natural Nutrients and Minerals, Inc.)

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. To date, the Company has generated minimal revenue and has experienced recurring net operating losses and a working capital deficiency of (12,527) at March 31, 2014. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. We will need to raise funds or implement our business plan to continue operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses by seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Going Concern (continued)

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon among other things, its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually begin operations in accordance with its business plan. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

Note 2. Capital Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock and 300,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common shares.

There were 190,356,131 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014.

On January 23, 2014, 3,500,007 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were returned to the Company for non-performance of services that were recorded as expense during 2012.

Note 3. Notes and Debentures Payable

The Company issued two debentures in March 2010 for $4,750 each totaling $9,500 plus accrued interest for a total of $10,000. The debentures matured six months from issue and are now payable upon demand. At March 31, 2014 the principal balance is $5,000.

In 2013, the Company received multiple set of funds and the terms of each note payable are set forth: $5,000 Note payable upon demand, a $6,000 Note payable upon demand and an $80,000 Note bearing 6% per annum, simple interest, payable on or before August 23, 2013. The Company and note holders are in discussions with respect to the payoff of the notes.

Note 4. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of these financial statements through the date that these financial statements were issued.

On April 21, 2014, 4,534,247 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were returned to the company for non-performance of services that were recorded as expense during 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: a general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on proposed transactions that we desire to effect; Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of "penny stocks," and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement.

Overview

U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. (Formerly U.S. Natural Nutrients and Minerals, Inc.) (the “Company”), primary focus is on sales and distribution of certain products derived from the Company’s mining activities relating to natural mineral deposits commonly known as Calcium Montmorillonite. These activities will be carried out through a web-based and distributor-based sales program directed at agricultural, animal and human uses of the products.

To the extent that the company requires additional capital for operations that it cannot derive from profits from sales, the Company plans to sell additional shares of unregistered preferred stock to raise money for additional operating capital. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in selling additional shares to raise funds for additional operating capital, or if successful, it will raise the desired amount or be on terms and conditions which are beneficial to the Company.

Plan of Operation

The Company markets and sells the product extracted in the mining process under the name “EXCELERITE®”. The Company believes that EXCELERITE® has broad applications for plants, animals and humans. Specifically, the Company believes that by adding EXCELERITE® back into the soil, household and commercial farmers are replacing what has been lost by the use of man-made fertilizers over hundreds of years. Farmers using EXCELERITE® are seeing higher yields and larger and more nutritious crops. In addition, studies suggest that animals whose feed is supplemented with Exceleriteâ grow healthier and produce more. The naturally chelated nutrients and minerals in EXCELERITE® may enhance the production of enzymes. Without enzymes living things cannot build protein and other vital processes. “Micro-Excelerite ™”, a supplement form of EXCELERITE® is believed to rejuvenate the health of the human body in many ways. In addition to its natural supply of 78 essential nutrients and minerals, its ionic charge removes toxins as it works through the digestive tract.

The Company is marketing its products through various channels including but not limited to direct distribution, sales through third-party distributors and sales through the Company’s website. The Company has also undertaken to develop a network of distributors, both in the United States and internationally. The Company’s directors have been marketing the product to agricultural customers in Oregon, throughout the United States and internationally as well.

The Company has been engaged in various testing programs with several major agriculture firms for the past two years. Two of these firms are listed NYSE companies and do business worldwide. Results of these test on strawberries, carrots, peaches, soy beans, sweet potatoes and grapes have been very positive. EXCELERITE® has also been tested and proved to eliminate the odor from pig and cow manure which should lead to large orders from cattle and pig farmers worldwide. The product is also being tested by poultry farmers.

Management believes that by partnering with these certain firms, long-term business relationships will develop, deriving substantial future product sales. The Company is bound by certain “Non-Disclosure Agreements” and therefore cannot divulge the names of partnering companies. Announcements of the Company’s test results and identity of its partners will be forthcoming when certain test results are completed and the parties agree on the content of the disclosure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table shows the financial data of the statements of operations of the Company for the three-months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

THREE-MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 COMPARED TO THREE-MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013.

	March 31,			March 31,
	2014			2013			$ Change			% Change

Revenues	$	208,356		$	114,298		$	94,058			82.29	%
Cost of sales		(54,198	)		(10,383	)		(43,815	)		421.99	%
Gross profit		154,158			103,915			50,243			48.35	%
General and administrative expenses		(88,401	)		(1,076,875	)		988,474			-91.79	%
Operating Income (Loss)	$	65,757		$	(972,960	)	$	1,038,717			106.76	%

The variance in the operating income (loss) was primarily a reduction of lease expense by $750,000, compensation by $200,000 and professional fees by $35,000 when comparing the three month period ended March 31, 2014 to the same period last year. Lease expense was $36,828 compared to $789,136; compensation was $217,867 compared to $16,588 and professional fees was $42,285 compared to $5,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Also, cost of goods sold increased to 26% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 9% for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to the increased costs of shipping the product.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

	March 31,		December 31,
	2014		2013		$ Change			% Change

Cash	$	53,638	$	20,689	$	32,949			159	%
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		67,109		34,112		32,997			97	%
Total current liabilities		199,435		182,989		16,446			9	%

Cash proceeds from the sale of preferred stock	$	-	$	3,000	$	(3,000	)		-100	%

The variance in accounts payable and accrued expenses is mainly for the lease expense accrual at March 31, 2014.

We believe that the level of financial resources is a significant factor for our future development, and accordingly we may choose at any time to raise capital through private debt or equity financing to strengthen its financial position, facilitate growth and provide us with additional flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities. While we are presently considering a limited private offering of our securities, we do not have immediate plans to have a public offering of our common stock and there is no guarantee that any such offering would be successful or be completed on terms that are beneficial to the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. However, events that are outside of our control cannot be predicted and, as such, they cannot be contemplated in evaluating such estimates and assumptions. If there is a significant unfavorable change to current conditions, it could result in a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. We believe that the estimates and assumptions we used when preparing our financial statements were the most appropriate at that time. Presented below are those accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results. However, the majority of our businesses operate in environments where we pay a fee for a service performed, and therefore the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of product obtained from our mining contractor is recognized when ownership passes to the purchaser at which time the following conditions are met:

i) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists;

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

iii) the selling price is fixed and determinable; or,

iv) collectively is reasonably assured.

Stock Based Compensation

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

Shares issued to employees are expensed upon issuance.

If the Company issues stock for services which are performed over a period of time, the Company capitalizes the value paid in the equity section of the Company’s financial statements as it’s a non-cash equity transaction. The Company accretes the expense to stock based compensation expense on a monthly basis for services rendered within the period.

On January 23, 2014, 3,500,007 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were returned to the Company for non-performance of services that were recorded as expense during 2012.

On April 21, 2014, 4,534,247 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were returned to the company for non-performance of services that were recorded as expense during 2013.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of March 31, 2014, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures may not be effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matter involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered may be a material weakness under the standards of the COSO was the lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in the potential for ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. The aforementioned material weakness was identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of September 30, 2011.

Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weakness and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully-functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by December 31, 2014. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31, 2014.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 26, 2009, U.S. Rare Earth Minerals, Inc. (USMN) (formerly known as U.S. Natural Nutrients and Minerals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (entered into an Agreement with M Strata, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“M Strata”) (“M Strata Agreement”) whereby M Strata granted to USMN permission and consent to mine the certain mineral products (the “Product”) from certain mining claims owned or controlled by M Strata located in Panaca, Nevada. Pursuant to the terms of the M Strata Agreement, M Strata will designate which claims may be mined and USMN shall have the right to mine the Product and remove the Product from the mining claims so designated.

The M Strata Agreement further provided that it was granting USMN the exclusive right to mine and purchase the Product from M Strata (“Exclusive Right”) and M Strata agreed that it will not sell Product or permit any other person or entity to purchase Product or mine on the claims controlled by M Strata other than USMN, on condition that USNNM meets certain Purchase Minimums (as defined in the agreement) (“Purchase Minimums”) and makes timely payments therefor. In the event USMN fails to meet the Purchase Minimums for a period of one year, then such Exclusive Right shall terminate and M Strata shall be entitled to either (i) terminate the M Strata Agreement and cause USMN to terminate all mining operations on M Strata’s claims or (ii) sell Product to other purchasers in addition to USMN. USMN may cure any default in the Purchase Minimum by paying for the difference between the amount actually purchased in any one calendar year which was less than the Purchase Minimum and the amount actually ordered and paid for. Nothing in the M Strata Agreement conferred on USMN or its agents any rights of ownership in any mining claims owned or controlled by M Strata now or in the future. In addition, USMN agreed that it would only purchase Calcium Montmorillonite (“Product”) from M Strata and from no other source for the term of the M Strata Agreement or any extensions thereof.. No default has been declared by M Strata of any of the terms of the Agreement as of the date hereof.

The initial term of the M Strata Agreement was for five (5) years and there was a provision for automatic extensions of the term for consecutive additional one (1) year terms thereafter. The M Strata Agreement provided for payments by USMN of $24.00 per ton of Product removed from M Strata’s claims, subject to periodic adjustment for cost of living in accordance with the terms of the M Strata Agreement. Payments for Product were to be made by USNNM to M Strata on a monthly basis, upon presentation of invoices and in accordance with the terms of the M Strata Agreement. There were monthly minimum purchases of Product that were required to be made during the term of the M Strata Agreement dated October 26, 2009. M Strata has agreed in the past to accept unregistered shares of common stock of USMN in consideration for the obligations of the Company pursuant to the terms of the M Strata Agreement.

A copy of the Agreement was attached to the filing of a Form 8K in November, 2009.

The Agreement was supplemented in 2011 to include the right of the Company to mine various rare earth minerals on the mining claims.

On December 9, 2013, the Company and M Strata renegotiated the M Strata Agreement dated October 26, 2009. The Company and M Strata entered into the First Amended and Restated Mining Agreement effective as of November 1, 2013 (Amended M Strata Agreement). The Amended M Strata Agreement relieved the Company of its contractual obligation to purchase a minimum annual amount of 40,000 tons of Product . The Amended M Strata Agreement, amends and substantially modifies the terms of the October 26, 2009 Agreement. At the time of the execution of the Amended M Strata Agreement, the Company owed M Strata $606.000 for Product. As part of the agreements between the Company and M Strata, M Strata agreed to accept 400,000 shares of $1, 6% Cumulative Preferred Stock in satisfaction of $400,000 of the Company’s obligation to it and to cancel the remaining $206,000 of the amount owed.

Management believes the Amended Agreement is of significant and substantial benefit and value to the Company because it eliminates the requirement that the Company purchase a minimum of 40,000 tons of Product per year (whether or not it was able to sell such amount in each year or not) at the current price calculated pursuant to the October 26, 2009 Agreement of a total of $1,080,000. Under the terms of the Amended M Strata Agreement, that minimum purchase requirement has been eliminated. Under the Amended M Strata Agreement, the Company is only required to pay for Product according to the greater of either (i) a minimum of one hundred tons a week at a price of $27 per ton (a minimum amount of $2,700 per week) or (ii) the actual amount of tons sold multiplied by $27 per ton. Accordingly, the Amended Agreement no longer obligates the Company to purchase a minimum of thousands of tons per year. The Amended Agreement contains additional modifications and provisions, which include, but are not limited to the following:

a. The $27 per ton price will be subject to adjustment based on an annual price adjustment equal to the increase in the cost of living;

b. Payment of the greater of the minimum or the actual amounts must be made weekly;

c. All mining costs and fees payable to all government agencies shall continue to be paid by the Company;

d. All insurance requirements remain the same; and,

e. The term of the Amended M Strata Agreement has been extended for an initial term of 5 years and the Company has the option to extend the term for an additional 5 years so long as it is not in default under any of its obligations at the time of the exercise of the extension.

Twenty-five percent (25%) of the beneficial ownership of M Strata is owned by Dennis Cullison, who also serves as the Chairman of the Board and President of the Company. A twenty-five percent (25%) beneficial ownership of M Strata is also owned by Paul Hait, formerly a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Hait is a retired Chairman of the Board of the Company. Neither Mr. Cullison nor Mr. Hait participated in the negotiation of the Amended Agreement.

A copy of the Agreement was attached to the filing of a Form 8K on December 9, 2013.
