REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Tara Gold Resources Corp., Inc. and Subsidiaries,
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tara Gold Resources Corp., Inc. (an exploration stage company) (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period from inception (October 14, 1999) through December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Tara Gold Resources Corp., Inc. and subsidiaries from inception (October 14, 1999) through December 31, 2004, were audited by other auditors whose report there on dated December 9, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements (the December 9, 2005 report was modified related to the uncertainty of the Companys ability as a going concern), have been furnished to us.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tara Gold Resources Corp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended and for the period from inception (October 14, 1999) through December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.
Basis of Presentation and Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
Tara Gold Resources, Corp. (the Company) was incorporated on October 14, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Westnet Communication Group. By special resolution of the shareholders, the Company changed its name to Tara Gold Resources, Corp. on February 9, 2005.
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties in the United States of America and Mexico. In May 2006, the Company acquired 97% of the common stock of Corporacion Amermin, S.A. de C.V. (Amermin). In October 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 3% of the common stock of Corporacion Amermin, S.A. de C.V. for 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $600,000. In May 2006, the Company established Tara Minerals Corp. (Tara Minerals),which owns 99.9% of the common stock of American Metal Mining, S.A. de C.V. (AMM), which was established in December 2006 and operates in México. The Company, through Tara Minerals, also owns 87% of the common stock of Adit Resources Corp., which in turns owns 99.9% of American Copper Mining, S.A. de C.V. (ACM), which was established in December 2006 and operates in México. Adit Resources Corp. (Adit) was organized in June 2009 and ACM was purchased in June 2009. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company owned 70% and 80%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Tara Minerals.
Tara Minerals is a separate publicly traded company under the symbol TARM.
The Company currently has limited operations and, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) Development Stage Entities Topic, is considered an Exploration Stage Company.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its two subsidiaries. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIE) over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of the VIE consolidates the entity if control is achieved through means other than voting rights such as certain capital structures and contractual relationships. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing industry practice. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company has no joint ventures or VIEs.
Amermin, AMM and ACM are Mexican corporations. The reporting currency of the Company, Tara Minerals and Adit is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Amermin, AMM and ACM is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measurement gain or loss is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Current and historical exchange rates are not indicative of what future exchange rates will be and should not be construed as such.
Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for Amermin, AMM and ACM are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively (Mexican peso per one U.S. dollar).
| 2010 |
Current exchange rate at December 31, 2010 | Ps. 12.3817 |
Weighted average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 | Ps. 12.6366 |
| 2009 |
Current exchange rate at December 31, 2009 | Ps. 13.0437 |
Weighted average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 | Ps. 13.5146 |
Other comprehensive (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are approximately ($70,000) and $214,000, respectively, and is primarily the result of foreign currency exchange differences and unrealized gains/loss on marketable securities. Inception to date other comprehensive loss is approximately $513,665.
The Companys significant accounting policies are:
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Securities
For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Investments with stated maturities of greater than three months and traded on an active markets that are accessible at the measurement date are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities. In accordance with the Comprehensive Income topic of the FASB ASC, we account for unrealized gain (loss) as a component of other comprehensive income. An unrealized gain of $617,772 was recorded in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Investments that are not traded on an active market, have little or no market activity or unobservable inputs are analyzed for classification as available-for-sale or held to maturity securities and are reported at cost in accordance with the Investments Topic of the FASB ASC. Current or long term balance sheet classification is dependant on managements intention of liquidating the related security.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Recoverable Value-Added Taxes (IVA) and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Impuesto al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) are recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods sold and services rendered at a rate of 16%. Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return. Amounts paid for IVA are tracked and held as receivables until the funds are remitted.
Effective January 1, 2010 the Mexican government increased Impuest al Valor Agregado taxes (IVA) from 15% to 16% and Impuesto Sobre la Renta (ISR) from 28% to 30%. These financial statements reflect these increases.
Each period receivables are reviewed for collectability. When a receivable is determined to not be collectable we allow for the receivable until we are either assured of collection or assured that a write off is necessary. We have allowed $2,009,548 and $374,116 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in association with our receivable from IVA from our Mexico subsidiaries as we have determined that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of these taxes.
Property and Equipment and Mining Concessions
Mining concessions and acquisitions relating to mineral properties are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time they will be amortized on the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves. If it is determined that the deferred costs related to a property are not recoverable over its productive life, those costs will be written down to fair value as a charge to operations in the period in which the determination is made. The amounts at which mineral properties and the related deferred costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values. Exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until properties are brought into production.
The recoverability of the book value of each property is assessed annually for indicators of impairment such as adverse changes to any of the following:
estimated recoverable ounces of copper, lead, zinc, silver or other precious minerals
estimated future commodity prices
estimated expected future operating costs, capital expenditures and reclamation expenditures
A write-down to fair value is recorded when the expected future cash flow is less than the net book value of the property or when events or changes in the property indicate that carrying amounts are not recoverable. This analysis is completed as needed, and at least annually. As of the date of this filing no events have occurred that would require the write-down of any assets. In addition, the carrying amounts of the groups assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication of impairment exists, the assets recoverable amount will be reduced to its estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, no indications of impairment existed.
Certain mining plant and equipment included in mine development and infrastructure is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from 3 10 years. Other non-mining assets are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from 3 10 years.

Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of concentrate and industrial metals will be recognized when ownership passes to the purchaser at which time the following conditions are met:
i)
persuasive evidence that an agreement exists;
ii)
the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the purchaser including delivery of the product;
iii)
the selling price is fixed and determinable; or,
iv)
collectivity is reasonably assured.
Reclamation and remediation costs (asset retirement obligations)
Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs.
Future remediation costs for reprocessing plant and buildings are accrued based on managements best estimate at the end of each period of the undiscounted costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing remediation, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. There were no reclamation and remediation costs accrued as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Exploration expenses
Exploration costs not directly associated with proven reserves on our mining concessions are charged to operations as incurred.
Purchase of Technical Data
Technical data, including engineering reports, maps, assessment reports, exploration samples certificates, surveys, environmental studies and other miscellaneous information, may be purchased for our mining concessions. When purchased for concessions without proven reserves the cost is considered research and development pertaining to a developing mine and in accordance with the Research and Development (R&D) Topic of the FASB ASC is expensed when incurred.
Income taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic FASB ASC. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
allowances relating to the realization of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, we continually assess the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees 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 entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. We determine the value of stock issued at the date of grant. We also determine at the date of grant the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.
Shares issued to employees are expensed upon issuance.
Stock based compensation for employees is accounted for using the Stock Based Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC. We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to employees and will use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
Net Loss per Common Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Earnings per Share Topic of the FASB ASC. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of employee stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred net loss. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company incurred a net loss, resulting in no potentially dilutive common shares.
Fair Value Accounting
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
F-20
TARA GOLD RESOURCES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; |
| Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
Recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance
Adopted
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance for "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets," which eliminates the concept of a "qualifying special-purpose entity," changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity's continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance for the period ended March 31, 2010. It does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending existing guidance. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. This guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company adopted this guidance for the period ended March 31, 2010. It does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Issued
In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable's selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective on January 1, 2011. The Company has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Tara Gold maintains ownership of these properties without change to valuation or other terms.
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $249,805 and $40,385 respectively.
a.
In March 2006, the Company acquired the rights to 23 concessions, known as Las Minitas. The effective purchase price of the properties is $2,663,913.
As of December 31, 2010, the resulting debt payment schedule, including applicable value added tax, is as follow:

In addition to the $2,150,000 above, the Company capitalized $173,913 in payments made toward the original agreement. Pursuant to the agreement signed in April 2007 this payment could not be applicable to the purchase price. Accordingly, the effective purchase price of the properties is $2,646,413.
No payments were made after February 2008 and as of April 15, 2011, the Company was actively working with the note holder which may include the termination of this agreement and return of the property.
b.
In January 2007, the Company acquired the rights to the six concessions, known as Picacho. Due to economic circumstances relating to the current recession, the Company failed to make a payment due in November 2008 and the concession was returned to the third party note holder on June 16, 2009.
In July 2009 Tara Minerals agreed to acquire the Picacho claims from a third party, which then included the Dos Amigos and Unification Rey de Oro concessions, for $4,800,000, plus value-added tax of $720,000. Tara Minerals paid $575,000 of the purchase price in June 2009. The $575,000 paid in June 2009 was borrowed from the Company by Tara Minerals.
In July 2009 Tara Minerals transferred the Picacho prospect to Adit. In connection with the transfer of the prospect, Adit issued Tara Gold a promissory note in the principal amount of $650,000 to compensate Tara Gold for its down payment toward the purchase price of the property and to reimburse

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tara Gold for other amounts advanced on behalf of Adit. The note is unsecured, bears interest at 3.25% per year, and is due and payable on June 30, 2011. Adit has since repaid $600,000 towards this note.
In March 2010, Adit and the note holder agreed to reduce the purchase of the Picacho concession to $1,250,000. Under the revised agreement, Adit paid the vendor $500,000 in cash (plus applicable taxes) as final consideration for the mining concession. These changes resulted in the following: 1) decrease debt by $3,324,485; and 2) decrease recoverable value-added taxes by $527,500. At March 31, 2010 the amended purchase price was paid in full.
In March 2010, Adit purchased technical data pertaining to the Picacho Prospect from the prospects former owner in consideration for the issuance to the former owner of 437,500 shares of the Companys common stock and 320,000 shares of Adits common stock. The technical data includes engineering reports, maps, assessment reports, exploration samples certificates, surveys, environmental studies and other miscellaneous information pertaining to the Picacho Prospect. As of March 31, 2010 the Picacho Prospect did not have any proven reserves. As such, the information purchased was considered research and development pertaining to a developing mine and in accordance with the ASC Research and Development (R&D) Topic - R&D is expensed when incurred. The parties agreed that the value of the stock for the technical data was $2.25 per share for Adit stock and $4.00 per share for the Companys common stock. The Company has accounted for the shares at their fair market value as follows: 320,000 shares of Adits common stock were valued at $0.75 per share, and 437,500 shares of the Companys common stock were valued at $2.25. All fair market values were determined based on contemporaneous stock issuances for cash or if the stock was quoted on an exchange, its closing stock price. All stock was issued April 2010.
c.
In November 2008, AMM executed an agreement to acquire eight mining concessions known as Centenario from an independent third party. The properties approximate 5,400 hectares and were purchased for a total of $1,894,050, including $247,050 in value added taxes.
In June 2009, AMM and the note holder modified the agreement to 1) revalue the entire Centenario concession to $2,000,000, 2) apply $127,000 toward the purchase price which we had already paid and recorded as a mining deposit, and 3) apply $197,956 toward the updated value of the concession which was originally paid by another subsidiary of Tara Gold Resources Corp. These changes resulted in the following 1) additional debt of $28,044 plus related value added tax for these concessions, 2) the reduction of our mining deposit of $127,000, 3) the expense of $6,000 that AMM also paid but which was not included in the revaluation of the concession and 4) and increase in our due to related party of $197,956 plus related value added tax. Our effective amount financed in relation to this concession $1,675,044 plus $251,257 of value added tax.
As of December 31, 2010, the resulting debt payment schedule, including applicable value added tax, is as follow:
2011 | $ 548,091 |

Mining Deposits
a)
On January 30, 2006, the Company acquired the rights to one concession, known as La Estrella. The sales price of the property is $400,000.
The Company has paid approximately $24,000 toward the purchase price but the seller of the property has not complied with their obligations under the purchase agreement and the Company has fully allowed for this amount as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company is reviewing the situation with its legal advisors in Mexico.
b)
In February 2006, the Company acquired the rights to one concession, known as La Virginia. The sales price of the property is $600,000.
The Company has paid approximately $5,500 toward the purchase price but the seller of the property has not complied with their obligations under the purchase agreement and the Company has fully allowed for this amount as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company is reviewing the situation with its legal advisors in Mexico.
c)
As of December 31, 2009, the Company paid a deposit of $25,000 toward the involvement in the El Tigre mining project in Sinaloa, Mexico. As of December 2010, the Company reclassified $28,368 given to a third party as mining deposits because they are in fact mining deposits for future acquisitions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Tara Gold consolidated level as of December 31, 2009 was $1,822,300 which was fully used as of December 31, 2010.
Effective for the year ending December 31, 2010, Tara Minerals will begin filing income tax returns in the United States and continue to file Mexican federal jurisdictions. The U.S. returns for 2010 will be filed after the filing of these financial statements; the Mexico 2010 tax return has been filed. No tax returns for Tara Minerals or AMM are currently under examination by any tax authorities.
As of December 31, 2010, open tax years for Tara Gold are 2008 2010, with the U.S. federal return to be filed after the filing of these financial statements. No returns during this time are currently under examination by any U.S. tax authority. Tara Golds Mexico based subsidiary, Amermin, has filed its 2010 tax return. Amermins 2007 tax return has been audited by the Mexican government, with their corresponding report dated December 21, 2010. Upon receipt of this report Amermins Mexico tax experts vigorously appealed the report. An appeal to the report was filed March 10, 2011. Even though the amounts of final tax liability are uncertain the Company has accrued income tax payable related to this of $640,000, which consisted of approximately $349,000 in tax and $291,000 in penalties and interest.
Adit and its subsidiary American Copper Mining (ACM) did not have a deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the use of valuation allowances to reduce the benefits of a net operating loss to zero.
Adit files income tax returns in the United States and Mexican federal jurisdictions. The U.S. returns for 2010 will be filed after the filing of these financial statements; the Mexico 2010 tax return has been filed. Upon tax return filing, the U.S. federal returns are considered open tax years, with 2009 an open tax year. The returns for 2010 will be filed after the filing of these financial statements. No tax returns for Adit or ACM are currently under examination by any tax authorities.
The provision for federal and state income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes elements of Adit and ACM as one filing entity; and Tara Minerals and AMM as a separate filing entity.
The December 31, 2010 and since inception income tax benefit is as follows:
| Adit and ACM | Tara Minerals and AMM | Tara Gold and Amermin | Total |
Current U.S. Federal | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ - |
Current Mexico | - | - | - | - |
Deferred U.S. Federal | (719,319) | (5,142645) | (524,011) | (6,385,975) |
Deferred Mexico | (129,164) | (926,839) | (2,638,389) | (3,694,392) |

Income tax expense (benefit) | $ (359,660) | $ (2,571,322) | $ - | $ (2,930,982) |
We believe that the deferred tax asset above is realizable, net of the valuation allowance disclosed, due to Adits letter of intent with Yamana that grants Yamana an option to acquire up to a 70% interest in Adits Picacho gold/silver project. Additionally, interest from various parties has also been expressed towards El Oro (a concession within the Don Roman Groupings), Tara Gold iron ore, gold, copper prospect. Based on this interest, Tara Gold has been investigating the economic merits surrounding the iron ore market, has found favorable results, and is now working on a number of development strategies relating to iron ore.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The future use of deferred tax assets is dependent on the future taxable profits which arise from taxable temporary timing differences such as:
·
Differences in expensed stock based compensation and stock for investor relation services and corporate officers.
·
The capitalization of foreign mining exploration expenses for federal income tax purposes.
·
Differences in calculating Joint Venture profits (losses).
·
Differences in calculating gain on the dilution of joint ventures.
·
Differences resulting from installment sales.
·
A carryforward of a net operating loss.
