Item 1 - Business
General
Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc. (“Company” or “MMEM”) was incorporated under the Laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2011 as SW China Imports, Inc. The Company’s initial business plan was to import high-end handmade lace wigs, hairpieces, and other beauty supplies and accessories manufactured overseas into the United States. In June 2014, the Company changed its name to Med-Cannabis Pharma, Inc. and implemented a new business plan to enter into the retail sale of medical and personal use marijuana, where allowable. In October 2015, the Company changed its name to MCPI, Inc. In March 2017, the Company, in anticipation of consummating a proposed asset acquisition transaction, changed its name to Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc.
A detailed discussion of the Company’s previous business plans and activities has been disclosed in predecessor filings on both Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed in prior periods.
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company issued issue 284,580,000 shares of its common stock into escrow for the benefit of Armada Mining, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and/or its assigns (Armada) in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the historic Tombstone Mining District. The Agreement allows for the Company to acquire rights and interests to approximately 3,800 acres of contiguous mineral leases, including some property acquired in fee simple, and ownership of 100% of Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, and is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. A copy of the Agreement was furnished as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed on or about November 28, 2016.
This exchange resulted in Armada owning approximately 85% of the Company, post-transaction. Subject to financing and various regulatory approvals, the Company intends to commence development of these properties by processing previously mined materials for silver, as well as precious and base metals; by reopening and developing existing mines using modern equipment and techniques; and by completing an existing drill/test grid to establish the boundary of producible ore bodies, in anticipation of a Bankable Feasibility Study and further development.
The completion of the acquisition of these currently non-performing claims/leases was initially subject to the completion of due diligence, acquisition of adequate financing and various regulatory approvals. On June 27, 2017, the Registrant announced that the due diligence process, although not totally complete, was sufficient to close the November 28, 2016 transaction. The transaction closed as follows:
a)
The Company received from Armada 100% of the issued and outstanding stock in Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at the nominal value of approximately $1,000.
b)
The Company received an assignment from Armada of approximately 45% of a specific group of claims/leases covering approximately 200 contiguous acres, subject to a “wrap” note issued in favor of Armada approximately equal to a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $200,000. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at approximately $400,000, which equals the value of the note payable being assumed and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
c)
The Company received an assignment from Armada of approximately 45% of a specific group of claims/leases covering approximately 700 contiguous acres, subject to a “wrap” note issued in favor of Armada approximately equal to a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $700,000. This piece of the transaction was recorded at approximately $1,400,000, which equals the approximate value of the note being assumed and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
NOTE: in both b) and c) - Armada will retain the remaining respective 55% in each specific group of claims/leases, subject to the generation of approximately $500,000 in net earnings from the respective claims AFTER the retirement of all affiliated debt. After the debt is retired and the $500,000 is paid to Armada, the residual 55% will transfer to the Company for no additional consideration.
d)
The Company received an assignment of 100% of approximately ten (10) specific claims/leases acquired from the Bureau of Land Management by Jack T. Bauska, personally. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at the nominal value of $2,000, which approximates the founder’s cost related to Mr. Bauska’s expenses for acquisition and recording.
e)
The Company received an assignment of 100% of certain claims/leases covering approximately 278 contiguous acres originally acquired by Jack T. Bauska, personally; subject to a 100% assumption of a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $560,000 and accrued interest of approximately $60,526. This piece of the transaction was valued at approximately $898,526, which equals the approximate value of the note being received and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
f)
The Company received an assignment of 47.5% of certain claims/leases, covering approximately 2,300 contiguous acres, controlled by an affiliate of Armada. At the time the Armada affiliate receives approximately $800,000 in net proceeds from the development of the affiliated claims, the Armada affiliate will transfer the residual 52.5% to the Registrant for no additional consideration. This piece of the transaction was valued at the nominal value of approximately $2,300,000, which equals the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
This aggregate transaction has an approximate initial gross asset value of approximately $5,000,526 with the issuance or assumption of underlying debt to initially acquire said claims/leases of approximately $1,460,000.
The “wrap” note issued to Armada is for an aggregate $900,000 and bears interest at 7.0% interest. The “wrap” note was originally due on December 31, 2018, and has been extended to December 31, 2019; it may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The assumed note is in the principal amount of $560,000 and bears interest at 5.0%. This note originally matured on August 20, 2015, is secured by a Deed of Trust on the underlying claims/leases and no notice of default or demand for payment has been made by the initial borrower. Management is of the opinion that this note is currently in “demand” status and the underlying assets are not at risk for foreclosure.
Subsequent to December 31, 2017, Management evaluated the carrying value of these assets as of that date and determined that these assets are of limited value unless and until the Company arranges development capital. Accordingly, management has provided an impairment equal to the net recorded acquisition value of these assets as of December 31, 2017.
On February 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (MDA) with L2 Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“L2 Capital”). Our MDA has several components: 1) Under the Equity Purchase Agreement (‘Equity Line”), the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares of its common stock to L2 Capital at 75% of the prevailing OTC market price, as determined by the public market over time periods set out in the Equity Line, for up to $3,000,000 and 2) Under the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights”), the Company is obliged to register the offering of shares to be put under the Equity Line with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1, and certain Blue Sky regulators, so that L2 Capital may, presumably, resell such shares under our Rule 424 Prospectus.
The Registrant paid a 3% capital commitment fee to L2 Capital, by issuing to it a $90,000 8% Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) The Note requires us to repay $45,000, with interest, in six (6) months, and the balance upon the effective date of the referenced Form S-1, or an additional six (6) months, whichever is earlier. Our default would trigger conversion rights in favor of L2 Capital, permitting it to demand issuance of shares at a 30% discount to market sufficient to satisfy any amounts due.
Also included in the MDA are share reserve requirements, under which our transfer agent has agreed to maintain a portion of our authorized but unissued shares sufficient to meet our obligations under the Equity Line and Note.
As of December 31, 2017 and subsequent thereto, the Company is in default on this obligation and the recorded $90,000 has been charged to expense. No demand for either conversion or redemption has been made by L2 Capital.
On November 20, 2017, the Company issued a press release noting it had entered into a letter of intent with Qu Ltd. to provide up to 5 million oz. silver dore to back a new crypto-currency offering. As a result of the initial due diligence activities, management of the Company elected to discontinue this relationship and has no ongoing involvement or commitment to this endeavor.

Item 1A
Item 1A - Risk Factors
We have a limited operating history with our current business. The Company was incorporated in 2011 and was unsuccessful at previous business plans.
Originally, the Company was formed to operate as an importer of high-end handmade lace wigs, hairpieces and related beauty products. The Company’s operations as both a support entity to the legal marijuana business and as a direct retailer, which it has focused on since the third quarter of 2014, generated only limited revenues and was abandoned in early-2016. Future operations are subject to all the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in establishing new businesses. The Company believes that it will become commercially viable, generate significant revenues and operate at a profit in future periods; however, there are no assurances that these projections will occur.
The Company has no cash flows to support operations and relies on external sources to maintain the corporate entity.
On May 11, 2016, the Company and a former controlling stockholder of the Company completed a restated and restructured Promissory Note agreement dated March 31, 2016. The original balance of the note was for a principal amount of $752,694.19, bearing interest at 10.0% per annum and requiring monthly debt service payments of approximately $15,992.55 commencing June 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017, at which time all remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable. The note also contains a repayment clause where the principal and accrued interest may be paid in common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.001 per share. For all periods from the inception of the debt through the date of these financial statements, the lender formally suspended the common stock conversion clause contained in the note. On November 30, 2016 and October 22, 2017, the lender notified the Company that the lender was exercising the common stock conversion clause for the repayment of $150 and $24,000 in debt, respectively, and continued the suspension of the conversion clause for the remaining balance of the debt. The continuation of the suspension of the conversion clause remains in effect as of the date of these financial statements and the Company remains delinquent in making the scheduled monthly debt service payments and no action is expected to be taken by the lender. Through December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the outstanding principal balance on this indebtedness is approximately $797,371 and $820,371. These funds were used to support the Company’s working capital needs in prior periods.
Concurrent with the Armada transaction, the Company engaged the services of an unrelated third-party to provide management services to the Company on a “for fee” month-to-month informal agreement. Included in the services to be provided is a line-of-credit note payable up to the amount of $150,000 with interest at 6.0% per annum. The note matures on December 31, 2017 or when the Company completes a successful capital infusion of at least $500,000 directly related to the commencement of mining operations in and around Tombstone, Arizona. Both parties agreed that additional working capital would be required and, on December 30, 2017, executed a new Line of Credit Note to provide up to $250,000 to the Company at identical terms with a new maturity date of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, approximately $89,838 and $-0- had been advanced against this line-of-credit. This note is delinquent and the lender has made no demand for payment, nor does the Company anticipate such a demand being made.
The Company will require additional financing to become commercially viable.
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to implement its business plan, generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations, and provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis. The Company faces considerable risk in its business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our uncertainty to raise adequate capital in the equity securities market.
The Company is dependent upon existing cash balances to support its day-to-day operations. In the event that working capital sufficient to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company’s existing controlling stockholders intend to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the Company's behalf. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for either management or existing controlling stockholders to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s existing controlling stockholders to have the resources available to support the Company.
The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 million shares of preferred stock and 500,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede the implementation of the Company’s business plan. The Company’s ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities.
In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.
While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.
The Company’s current mining business can be capital intensive.
The Company acknowledges that its Plan of Operations may not result in the consistent generation of positive working capital in the near future. Although management believes that it will be able to successfully execute its business plan, which includes third party financing and the raising of capital to meet the Company’s future liquidity needs, there can be no assurances. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We currently rely on certain key individuals, and the loss of one of these key individuals could have an adverse effect on the Company.
Our success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of our management. These individuals are a significant factor in our growth and success. The loss of the services of such members of management could have a material adverse effect on our Company. We presently maintain no key-man insurance coverage on any of our officers.
The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its ability to attract qualified personnel and consultants.
The Company’s success will be dependent in part upon its ability to attract qualified creative marketing, sales and development professionals. The inability to do so on favorable terms may harm the Company’s proposed business.
The Company must effectively meet the challenges of managing expanding operations.
The Company’s business plan anticipates that operations will undergo significant expansion during 2017 and beyond. This expansion will require the Company manage a larger and more complex organization, which could place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Management may not succeed with these efforts. Failure to expand in an efficient manner could cause expenses to be greater than anticipated, revenues to grow more slowly than expected and could otherwise have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business could be affected by changes in governmental regulation.
Federal, State and Local laws and regulations governing mining operations are broad in scope and are subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance. In addition, violations of these laws, actual or alleged, could disrupt the Company’s planned business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that additional or revised Federal, State and Local laws and regulations may be enacted in the future governing the mining industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with any such laws and regulations and its failure to do so could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business will be subject to other operating risks which may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
Our planned operations will be subject to risks normally incidental to mining and mineral exploration activities and will be dependent on internal and third-party production and distribution operations which could result in work stoppages, damage to property or unavailable product for resale. This may be caused by:
·
breakdown of equipment;
·
labor disputes;
·
imposition of new government regulations;
·
sabotage by operational personnel;
·
cost overruns; and
·
fire, flood, or other acts of God.
We will likely face significant competition.
The mining industry is subject to significant competition as it implements its business strategy. The ability of MCPI to effectively compete could be hindered by a lack of funds, poor positioning, management error, and other factors. The inability to effectively compete could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR PUBLIC COMPANY STATUS AND OUR COMMON STOCK
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial office and effected by the 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or 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.
We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees. During the course of our testing, we may identity other deficiencies that we may not be able to timely remediate. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes Oxley”). Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.
As a public company, we are required to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of this compliance could be significant. If our revenues do not increase and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business that would result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.
Management and the Board of Directors may be Indemnified.
The Certificate or Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of MMEM provide for indemnification of directors and officers at the expense of the respective corporation and limit their liability. This may result in a major cost to the corporation and hurt the interests of stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of directors and officers. The Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under Federal Securities Laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The market for the MMEM Shares is extremely limited and sporadic.
MMEM’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets. The market for MMEM’s common stock is limited and sporadic. Trading in stock quoted on the Pink Sheets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress or exaggerate the market price of MMEM’s common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the trading of securities in the Pink Sheets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ, or a stock exchange like the New York Stock Exchange.
MMEM’s common stock is a penny stock. Trading of MMEM’s common stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
MMEM’s common stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. MMEM’s common stock is covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term “accredited investor ” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, MMEM’s common stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the SEC, FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) has adopted rules that require when recommending an investment to a customer, a broker- dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low -priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy MMEM’s common stock, which may limit investor ability to buy and sell MMEM’s common stock.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact MMEM’s common stock.
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
·
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to a promoter or issuer;
·
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·
boiler room practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons; excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
·
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
The board of directors of MMEM has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to adversely affect common stockholder voting power and rights upon liquidation.
MMEM’s Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders of preferred stock the rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.
The ability of our principal stockholders, including our CEO, to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.
As a result of the Armada transaction, the principal stockholder of MMEM common stock holds 284,580,000 shares (or approximately 78.98%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Additionally, a former controlling shareholder holds a convertible Promissory Note with a balance due of approximately $941,030, including accrued interest, which currently has a conversion clause to common stock which has been indefinitely suspended by the Holder of the Promissory Note. The revocation of this suspension could cause the issuance of an additional 941,030,000 shares of common stock, which is far in excess of the Company’s currently authorized shares.
Because of the number of shares currently held and the conversion feature on the Promissory Note, these parties are in a position to significantly influence membership of our board of directors as well as all other matters requiring stockholder approval, as well as control the affairs of MMEM and it’s subsidiaries. The interests of our principal stockholders may differ from the interests of other stockholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of other officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority stockholders have no way of overriding decisions made by our principal stockholders. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because our principal stockholders may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that result in losses and/or may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and/or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company has never paid cash dividends on their shares of common stock. MMEM does not expect to pay a cash dividends on its common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends depends upon future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that the companies’ boards of directors will consider. Since they do not anticipate paying cash dividends on the common stock, return on investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of the common stock.
Future sales of shares of MMEM common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act could adversely affect the market price of MMEM’s common stock.
MMEM currently has approximately 360,300,000 outstanding shares of its common stock which were issued pursuant registration statements and/or exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, but which are now available for public sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and comparable exemptions under applicable state securities laws. The potential of such sales could adversely affect the market price of MMEM’s common stock.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested-director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
Sarbanes-Oxley as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the NYSE/AMEX and the NASDAQ Stock Market as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the NASDAQ Stock Market. Because we are not currently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with voluntary compliance, we have not yet adopted these measures.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested- director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations as a result thereof.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley. The enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

Item 2 - Properties
The Company currently maintains a physical and mailing address at 1137 Highway 80 East, Post Office Box 1218, Tombstone, AZ 86638. The Company’s telephone number there is (520) 457-9404. Other than this mailing address, the Company does not currently maintain any other office facilities, and does not anticipate the need for maintaining office facilities at any time in the foreseeable future. The Company pays no rent or other fees for the use of the mailing address as this address is virtually full-time by other businesses related to the Company’s majority stockholder.
It is likely that the Company will not establish an office until it has completed a business acquisition transaction, but it is not possible to predict what arrangements will actually be made with respect to future office facilities.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Set forth below is information regarding the issuance and sales of securities without registration since January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2016:
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company issued issue 284,580,000 shares of its common stock into escrow for the benefit of Armada Mining, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and/or its assigns (Armada) in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the historic Tombstone Mining District. The Agreement allows for the Company to acquire rights and interests to approximately 3,800 acres of contiguous mineral leases, including some property acquired in fee simple, and ownership of 100% of Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, and is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. A copy of the Agreement was furnished as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed on or about November 28, 2016. This exchange resulted in Armada owning approximately 85% of the Company, post-transaction.
On November 30, 2016, Charles Stidham notified the Company that he was withdrawing his suspension of the conversion clause in his March 31, 2016 Promissory Note only for the conversion of $150 in outstanding principal and continuing the suspension of the conversion clause for all remaining outstanding principal. This limited onetime conversion caused the issuance 0f 1,500,000 shares of common stock with a “fair value” of $217,350 resulting in a non-cash charge to operations of approximately $217,200, which is reflected as a component of interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.
On February 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (MDA) with L2 Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“L2 Capital”). Our MDA has several components: 1) Under the Equity Purchase Agreement (‘Equity Line”), the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares of its common stock to L2 Capital at 75% of the prevailing OTC market price, as determined by the public market over time periods set out in the Equity Line, for up to $3,000,000 and 2) Under the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights”), the Company is obliged to register the offering of shares to be put under the Equity Line with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1, and certain Blue Sky regulators, so that L2 Capital may, presumably, resell such shares under our Rule 424 Prospectus.
The Company paid a 3% capital commitment fee to L2 Capital, by issuing to it a $90,000 8% Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) The Note requires us to repay $45,000, with interest, in six (6) months, and the balance upon the effective date of the referenced Form S-1, or an additional six (6) months, whichever is earlier. Our default would trigger conversion rights in favor of L2 Capital, permitting it to demand issuance of shares at a 30% discount to market sufficient to satisfy any amounts due.
Also included in the MDA are share reserve requirements, under which our transfer agent has agreed to maintain a portion of our authorized but unissued shares sufficient to meet our obligations under the Equity Line and Note.
On October 22, 2017, Charles Stidham notified the Company that he was withdrawing his suspension of the conversion clause in his March 31, 2016 Promissory Note only for the conversion of $24,000 in outstanding principal and continuing the suspension of the conversion clause for all remaining outstanding principal. This limited one-time conversion caused the issuance 0f 24,000,000 shares of common stock with a “fair value” of $840,000 resulting in a non-cash charge to operations of approximately $816,000, which is reflected as a component of interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchases
During each month within the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, neither we nor any “affiliated purchaser”, as that term is defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, repurchased any of our common stock or other securities.

(2) General
The Company was originally incorporated as SW China Imports, Inc. on February 23, 2011 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s previous business plans and attempted operations have been disclosed in previously filed documents on Form 10-K and/or Form 10-Q.
In March 2017, the Company, in anticipation of consummating a proposed asset acquisition transaction, changed its name to Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc.
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company issued issue 284,580,000 shares of its common stock into escrow for the benefit of Armada Mining, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and/or its assigns (Armada) in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the historic Tombstone Mining District. The Agreement allows for the Company to acquire rights and interests to approximately 3,800 acres of contiguous mineral leases, including some property acquired in fee simple, and ownership of 100% of Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, and is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. A copy of the Agreement was furnished as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed on or about November 28, 2016.
This exchange resulted in Armada owning approximately 85% of the Company, post-transaction. Subject to financing and various regulatory approvals, the Company intends to commence development of these properties by processing previously mined materials for silver, as well as precious and base metals; by reopening and developing existing mines using modern equipment and techniques; and by completing an existing drill/test grid to establish the boundary of producible ore bodies, in anticipation of a Bankable Feasibility Study and further development.
The completion of the acquisition of these currently non-performing claims/leases was initially subject to the completion of due diligence, acquisition of adequate financing and various regulatory approvals. On June 27, 2017, the Registrant announced that the due diligence process, although not totally complete, was sufficient to close the November 28, 2016 transaction. The transaction closed as follows:
a)
The Company received from Armada 100% of the issued and outstanding stock in Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at the nominal value of approximately $1,000.
b)
The Company received an assignment from Armada of approximately 45% of a specific group of claims/leases covering approximately 200 contiguous acres, subject to a “wrap” note issued in favor of Armada approximately equal to a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $200,000. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at approximately $400,000, which equals the value of the note payable being assumed and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
c)
The Company received an assignment from Armada of approximately 45% of a specific group of claims/leases covering approximately 700 contiguous acres, subject to a “wrap” note issued in favor of Armada approximately equal to a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $700,000. This piece of the transaction was recorded at approximately $1,400,000, which equals the approximate value of the note being assumed and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
NOTE: in both b) and c) - Armada will retain the remaining respective 55% in each specific group of claims/leases, subject to the generation of approximately $500,000 in net earnings from the respective claims AFTER the retirement of all affiliated debt. After the debt is retired and the $500,000 is paid to Armada, the residual 55% will transfer to the Company for no additional consideration.
d)
The Company received an assignment of 100% of approximately ten (10) specific claims/leases acquired from the Bureau of Land Management by Jack T. Bauska, personally. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at the nominal value of $2,000, which approximates the founder’s cost related to Mr. Bauska’s expenses for acquisition and recording.
e)
The Company received an assignment of 100% of certain claims/leases covering approximately 278 contiguous acres originally acquired by Jack T. Bauska, personally; subject to a 100% assumption of a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $560,000 and accrued interest of approximately $60,526. This piece of the transaction was valued at approximately $898,526, which equals the approximate value of the note being received and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
f)
The Company received an assignment of 47.5% of certain claims/leases, covering approximately 2,300 contiguous acres, controlled by an affiliate of Armada. At the time the Armada affiliate receives approximately $800,000 in net proceeds from the development of the affiliated claims, the Armada affiliate will transfer the residual 52.5% to the Registrant for no additional consideration. This piece of the transaction was valued at the nominal value of approximately $2,300,000, which equals the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
This aggregate transaction has an approximate initial gross asset value of approximately $5,000,526 with the issuance or assumption of underlying debt to initially acquire said claims/leases of approximately $1,460,000.
The “wrap” note issued to Armada is for an aggregate $900,000 and bears interest at 7.0% interest. The “wrap” note is due on December 31, 2018 and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The assumed note is in the principal amount of $560,000 and bears interest at 5.0%. This note originally matured on August 20, 2015, is secured by a Deed of Trust on the underlying claims/leases and no notice of default or demand for payment has been made by the initial borrower. Management is of the opinion that this note is currently in “demand” status and the underlying assets are not at risk for foreclosure.
Subsequent to December 31, 2017, Management evaluated the carrying value of these assets as of that date and determined that given the absence of development capital there is limited value to these assets. Accordingly, management has provided an impairment equal to the net recorded acquisition value of these assets as of December 31, 2017.
(3) Results of Operations
The Company has no recognized revenues for either Calendar 2017 or 2016.
In conjunction with the Company’s business plan, as discussed in Item I of this document, the Company has expended considerable effort and financial resources to the implementation of its business plan. The Company has incurred operating expenses requiring cash payments of approximately $82,000 and $86,000, which was principally funded through a line-of-credit as disclosed in the accompanying financial statement footnotes.
Earnings (Loss) per share for the respective years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $(0.02) and $(0.01) based on the weighted-average shares issued and outstanding at the end of each respective period.
It is anticipated that future expenditure levels will remain relatively consistent until such time that the Company fully implements its current business plan, at which time, the Company’s expenses and working capital requirements may increase significantly.
The Company does not expect to generate any meaningful revenue or incur operating expenses for purposes other than fulfilling the obligations of a reporting company under the Exchange Act unless and until such time that the Company begins meaningful operations.
(4) Plan of Business
Subject to financing and various regulatory approvals, the Company intends to commence development of various mining leases by processing previously mined materials for silver, as well as precious and base metals; by reopening and developing existing mines using modern equipment and techniques; and by completing an existing drill/test grid to establish the boundary of producible ore bodies, in anticipation of a Bankable Feasibility Study and further development. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully implement this business plan or that if implemented, said plan will be successful.
(5) Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company had working capital of approximately $(2,795,000) and $(953,000); inclusive of all related party accounts receivable, accrued expenses and line-of-credit notes payable.
It is the belief of management and significant stockholders that they will provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However, there is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s majority stockholder to have the resources available to support the Company. Should this pledge to provide continuing financing not be fulfilled, the Company has not identified any alternative sources. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Concurrent with the November 2016 proposed transaction with Armada, the Company engaged the services of an unrelated third-party to provide management services to the Company on a “for fee” month-to-month informal agreement. Included in the services to be provided is a line-of-credit note payable up to the amount of $150,000 with interest at 6.0% per annum. The note originally matured on December 31, 2017 or when the Company completes a successful capital infusion of at least $500,000 directly related to the commencement of mining operations in and around Tombstone, Arizona. Both parties agreed that additional working capital would be required and, on December 30, 2017, executed a new Line of Credit Note to provide up to $250,000 to the Company at identical terms with a new maturity date of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, approximately $89,838 and $-0- had been advanced against this line-of-credit.
The Company's need for working capital may change dramatically as a result of any future business transaction.
There can be no assurance that the Company will identify and/or enter into any business transaction in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that it will be able to profitably manage the business, product, technology or company it acquires.
The Company has no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the location of a potential business transaction. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover the expenses related to such activities.
Regardless of whether the Company’s cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company’s operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
(6) Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note D of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
During the 2nd quarter of Calendar 2016, the Company was informed that its auditors, Bongiovanni & Associates, PA had changed its name to L&L CPA’s, PA, effective December 31, 2015.
On April 12, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company, as a result of a pending change in control and change in officers and directors, elected to dismiss its independent registered public accounting firm, L&L CPA’s PA (L&L) of Cornelius NC. The reports of L&L on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except as to a going concern qualification. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through April 12, 2017, there were no (i) “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S K) with L&L on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to L&L’s satisfaction, would have caused L&L to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its reports for such fiscal years and interim period, or (ii) “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K.
On April 12, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to engage David S. Friedkin, CPA of River Vale, NJ (Friedkin) as its new independent certified public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through April 12, 2017, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Friedkin regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Friedkin concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S K) or a “reportable event” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K).
On June 27, 2018, the Board of Directors of Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc. (MMEM or Company) was notified indirectly through a consultant that the independent registered accounting firm of David S. Friedkin, CPA of River Vale, NJ (Friedkin) would no longer serve as the Company’s auditor. The auditor’s report of Friedkin on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as to a going concern qualification. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the subsequent interim period through June 27, 2018, there were no (i) “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S K) with Friedkin on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Friedkin’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedkin to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its reports for such fiscal years and interim period, or (ii) “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K.
On August 14, 2018, the Board of Directors of Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc. (MMEM or Company) approved the engagement of BF Borgers CPA PC CPA PC (Borgers) of Lakewood, Colorado as the Company’s new independent registered accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016, and the subsequent interim period through August 14, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Borgers regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Borgers concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S K) or a “reportable event” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K).
Item 9A
Item 9A - Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer (Certifying Officers), have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC due to a weakness in our controls described below. However, our Certifying Officers believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods presented.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 our assets;
--
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
--
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluations 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 and procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended December 31, 2017 has determined that we have a business plans with significant risk, no operations, revenues or employees. Because we have only one executive operating officer, the Company's internal controls are deficient for the following reasons, (1) there are limited entity level controls due to our limited personnel, (2) there are no segregation of duties as that same person approves, enters, and pays the Company's bills, and (3) there is no separate audit committee. As a result, the Company's internal controls have an inherent weakness which may increase the risks of errors in financial reporting under current operations and accordingly are deficient as evaluated against the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2017.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to the current appropriate Laws and Regulations.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting which internal controls will remain deficient until such time as the Company grows to a point to justify a larger staff and a more complex system of controls and procedures.

Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors presently does not have any active committees.
Financial Expert
The Company does not currently have a designated “financial expert” on the Board of Directors. We believe that the cost of obtaining and retaining an independent director who can also serve as our financial expert is prohibitive at this time.
Information Concerning Non-Director Executive Officers
We currently have no executive officers serving who are non-directors.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial, and accounting officers.
Potential Conflict of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, including their own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our officers or directors.
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by MCPI. These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and operational risks. The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced at that time. In addition, since MCPI does not have an Audit Committee, the Board of Directors is also responsible for the assessment and oversight of MCPI’s financial risk exposures.
Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities ("10% holders"), to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common stock and other equity securities of the Company.
Directors, officers and 10% holders are required by SEC Regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all of the Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on a review of reports furnished to the Company and/or written representations from the Company's directors and executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, there was no compliance with the Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its directors, officers and 10% holders for such year.
Involvement on Certain Material Legal Proceedings During the Past Five (5) Years
(1)
No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, exclusive of traffic violations or is subject to any pending criminal proceeding.
(2)
No bankruptcy petitions have been filed by or against any business or property of any director, officer, significant employee or consultant of the Company nor has any bankruptcy petition been filed against a partnership or business association where these persons were general partners or executive officers.
(3)
No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been permanently or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.
(4)
No director, officer or significant employee has been convicted of violating a federal or state securities or commodities law.
Code of Ethics
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial, and accounting officers.

(1)
On June 20, 2018, there were 360,300,000 shares of our common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. We have no outstanding stock options or warrants.
(2)
Under applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed the "beneficial owner" of a security with regard to which the person directly or indirectly, has or shares (a) the voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or (b) the investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or direct the disposition, of the security, in each case irrespective of the person's economic interest in the security. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own securities which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option or warrant or through the conversion of another security.
(3)
In determining the percent of voting stock owned by a person on December 31, 2017 (a) the numerator is the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the person, including shares the beneficial ownership of which may be acquired within 60 days upon the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities, and (b) the denominator is the total of (i) the 360,300,000 shares of common stock outstanding on February 20, 2016, and (ii) any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days upon the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities. Neither the numerator nor the denominator includes shares which may be issued upon the exercise of any other options or warrants or the conversion of any other convertible securities.
Changes in Control
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement) with Armada
Mining, Inc. of Tombstone, Arizona, an Arizona corporation (Armada). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 284,580,000 shares of its common stock to Armada in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the historic Tombstone Mining District of Arizona.
On June 27, 2017, the Registrant announced that the due diligence process, although not totally complete, was sufficient to close the November 28, 2016 transaction. Accordingly, Armada owned approximately 85% of the Company’s post-transaction issued and outstanding common stock. Although, Armada represented to the Company that it anticipated exchanging a portion of these shares with their existing shareholders; using a portion to satisfy existing obligations to related parties and others; and using a portion to finance other Armada operations, Armada retains possession of all 284,580,000 shares as of the filing of this report.
Item 13
Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Relationships and Transactions
On September 30, 2015, the Company executed a replacement Promissory Note with the principal stockholder of South Beach Live, Ltd. in the amount of $927,000, bearing interest at 12.0% and payable in monthly installments of approximately $13,300, including accrued interest with a final maturity and balloon payment due on October 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the outstanding balance on this note was approximately $950,008 as the lender continued to advance funds to support the Company’s working capital needs. The Company was delinquent in making the required monthly installment payments.
On June 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement, General and Mutual Release of Claims and Assignment of Interest Transfer Agreement (Settlement Agreement) with its majority shareholder and a related party. The Settlement Agreement relates to the Company’s management of three medical marijuana dispensaries (Stores) located in Oregon, which are owned by Bendor Investments, Ltd. (Bendor), whose sole shareholder is Charles Stidham. The Company owed Mr. Stidham approximately $1,100,000, including accrued interest, as of the date of the Settlement Agreement.
The Company asserted a claim for management fees of approximately $80,000 and reimbursement of approximately $343,000 for the services of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Management Systems, Inc. (MMS), in managing the Stores. Bendor disputed this claim. To resolve the dispute, the parties agreed to forgive the accrued management fees and to offset the approximately $343,000 due from Bendor against the approximately $1,100,000 owed to Mr. Stidham with the Company releasing any and all interests it may have had in the Stores and MMS. Additionally, the Company agreed to assign a trademark to Mr. Stidham as well as executing a new Note in the principal sum of $752,694.19.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain conflicts of interest could arise in the future, including, but not limited to, the following:
·
None of our officers and directors is required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities.
·
In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. They may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
·
Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us.
·
Since all of our directors own shares of our common stock that could be sold, in whole or in part, as a negotiated element of a business acquisition, our board may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate to effect a business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination.
In general, officers and directors of a Nevada corporation are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:
·
the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
·
the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and
·
it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the abovelisted criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that none of its directors is "independent" under the criteria set forth in Rule 5065(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Board does not have a separately designated audit, nominating, or compensation committee, so the functions normally attributed to these committees are performed by the entire board. Accordingly, none of our directors is "independent" under applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules that define independence for purposes of directors performing the functions of such committees.

Item 14
Item 14 - Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The Company paid or accrued the following fees in each of the prior two fiscal years to it’s principal accountant(s), David S. Friedkin, CPA of River Vale, NJ and L&L CPA’s PA (formerly Bongiovanni & Associates, PA) of Cornelius, NC:
We have considered whether the provision of any non-audit services, currently or in the future, by our principal accounting firm is compatible with their maintaining their independence and have determined that these services do not compromise their independence.
Financial Information System Design and Implementation: Our principal accountants did not charge the Company any fees for financial information system design and implementation fees.
The Company has no formal audit committee. However, the entire Board of Directors (Board) is the Company's defacto audit committee. In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Board obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors' independence as required by the appropriate Professional Standards issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Board also discussed with management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of the Company's internal controls.
The Company’s principal accounting firm(s) did not engage any other persons or firms other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note A - Background and Description of Business
Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc. (“Company” or “MMEM”) was incorporated under the Laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2011 as SW China Imports, Inc. The Company’s initial business plan was to import high-end handmade lace wigs, hairpieces, and other beauty supplies and accessories manufactured overseas into the United States. In June 2014, the Company changed its name to Med-Cannabis Pharma, Inc. and implemented a new business plan to enter into the retail sale of medical and personal use marijuana, where allowable. In October 2015, the Company changed its name to MCPI, Inc. In March 2017, the Company, in anticipation of consummating a proposed asset acquisition transaction, changed its name to Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc.
Effective March 31, 2016, the Company ceased activities in all of its subsidiaries and disposed of Med-Pharma
Management, Inc. and High Desert MMJ, Inc. Prior thereto, the Company’s subsidiaries were Medical Management Systems, Inc., an Oregon corporation engaged in providing back-office and support services to marijuana dispensaries in the State of Oregon; Med-Pharma Management, Inc., a Washington State corporation which was formed to own, manage or provide back-office and support services to marijuana dispensaries in Washington State; and High Desert MMJ, Inc. an Oregon corporation, which is a 99.0% partner in Emerald Mountain Organics, an Oregon joint venture, formed to facilitate the development and growing of medical marijuana plants for wholesale distribution to licenced dispensaries in the State of Oregon.
As of December 31, 2015, Medical Management Systems, Inc. held a Management Contract for three marijuana dispensaries located in Newport, Bend and Cottage Grove, Oregon; which are owned by a company controlled by a related party. This Management Contract was terminated by the consent of both parties, effective March 31, 2016. Med-Pharma only conducted introductory due diligence efforts in the State of Washington and, currently, had abandoned all activities in the State of Washington. Emerald Mountain Organics had, as of September 30,2015, established an early-phase growing operation and has generated nominal sales.
During the first 10 days of October 2015, the Company’s subsidiary, High Desert MMJ, Inc., learned that the 1.0% minority partner in the Emerald Mountain Organics joint venture had absconded with all of the assets of the joint venture. Efforts to locate and recover either the individuals representing said 1.0% minority partner or the said absconded assets were unsuccessful. Accordingly, effective October 10, 2015, High Desert MMJ, Inc. abandoned the Emerald Mountain Organics joint venture and wrote off said investment. The cumulative start-up losses in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Emerald Mountain Organics joint venture, through the date of abandonment were approximately $53,000 and the Company recognized a loss on the stolen assets of approximately $51,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
On June 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement, General and Mutual Release of Claims and Assignment of Interest Transfer Agreement (Settlement Agreement) with its majority shareholder and a related party. The Settlement Agreement relates to the Company’s management of three medical marijuana dispensaries (Stores) located in Oregon, which are owned by Bendor Investments, Ltd. (Bendor), whose sole shareholder is Charles Stidham. The Company owes Mr. Stidham approximately $1,100,000, including accrued interest, as of the date of the Settlement Agreement.
The Company asserted a claim for management fees of approximately $80,000 and reimbursement of monies advanced to support the operations of the Stores totaling approximately $343,000 for the services of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Management Systems, Inc. (MMS), in managing the Stores. Bendor disputed this claim. To resolve the dispute, the parties agreed to forgive the accrued management fees and to offset the approximately $343,000 due from Bendor against the approximately $1,100,000 owed to Mr. Stidham with the Company releasing any and all interests it may have had in the Stores and MMS. Additionally, the Company agreed to assign a trademark to Mr. Stidham as well as executing a new Note in the principal sum of $752,694.19.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
December 31, 2017 and 2016
Note A - Background and Description of Business - continued
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement) with Armada Mining, Inc. of Tombstone, Arizona, an Arizona corporation (Armada). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will issue 284,580,000 shares of its common stock to Armada, its affiliates, related entities and other common parties in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the Tombstone Mining District of Arizona. The Company will acquire rights and interests to approximately 3,800 acres of contiguous mineral leases, including some property acquired in fee simple, and ownership of 100% of Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, and is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. Subject to the completion of due diligence, acquisition of adequate financing and various regulatory approvals, the Company intends to commence development of these properties by processing previously mined materials for silver, as well as precious and base metals, by reopening and developing existing mines using modern equipment and techniques and by completing an existing drill/test grid to establish the boundary of producible ore bodies, in anticipation of a Bankable Feasibility Study and further development.
Upon completion of the terms of the Agreement, Armada will own approximately 85% of the Company’s post-transaction issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Armada has represented to the Company that it anticipates exchanging a portion of these shares with their existing shareholders; using a portion to satisfy existing obligations to related parties and others; and using a portion to finance other Armada operations. The Agreement anticipates that Company, post-transaction, will have new Board of Directors that will, in turn, appoint new management for the Company. Additionally, the Company and Armada have facilitated a change in the Company’s corporate name to better reflect the nature and focus of the Company’s proposed ongoing and future business interests. This transaction closed on June 27, 2017.
Note B - Preparation of Financial Statements
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has elected a year-end of December 31.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
For segment reporting purposes, the Company operated in only one industry segment during the periods represented in the accompanying financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best benefit to the Company as a whole.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and as appropriate, contain the accounts of Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc.; its former wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medical Management Systems, Inc., Med-Pharma Management, Inc., High Desert MMJ, Inc.; and it’s former majority-owned joint venture, Emerald Mountain Organics. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to as “Company”.
Note C - Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company currently owns a minority position in various mining claims and/or leases located in the Tombstone, Arizona Mining District. It is the Company’s intent to raise sufficient capital to successfully exploit the mineral deposits contained in these claims/leases. All other efforts started by the Company and/or its subsidiaries in prior periods were either unsuccessful or abandoned. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successful in the implementation or operation of its current business plan.
Mansfield-Martin Exploration Mining, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
December 31, 2017 and 2016
Note C - Going Concern Uncertainty - continued
The Company has limited operating history, limited cash on hand, no operating assets and has a business plan with inherent risk. Because of these factors, the Company’s auditors have issued an audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means, in the auditor’s opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists at the date of their opinion.
Because of the Company's lack of operating assets, the Company’s continuance may become fully dependent upon either future sales of securities and/or advances or loans from significant stockholders or corporate officers to provide sufficient working capital to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity during the development phase.
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to implement its business plan, generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations, and provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis. The Company faces considerable risk in it’s business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our uncertainty to raise adequate capital in the equity securities market.
The Company is dependent upon existing cash balances to support its day-to-day operations. In the event that working capital sufficient to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company’s existing controlling stockholders intend to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the Company's behalf. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for either management or existing controlling stockholders to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s existing controlling stockholders to have the resources available to support the Company.
The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 million shares of preferred stock and 500,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede the implementation of the Company’s business plan. The Company’s ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities.
In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.
While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.
Note D - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
2.
Organization costs
The Company has adopted the provisions of provisions required by the Start-Up Activities topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification whereby all costs incurred with the incorporation and reorganization of the Company were charged to operations as incurred.

3.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized by the Company at the point at which a transaction is delivered or services are provided to a consumer at a fixed price, collection is reasonably assured, the Company has no remaining performance obligations and no right of return by the purchaser exists.
4.
Income taxes
The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and various states, as appropriate and applicable. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, as applicable, income tax examinations by regulatory taxing authorities for any period prior to January 1, 2013.
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences generally represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily accumulated depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts and vacation accruals.
The Company has adopted the provisions required by the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Codification Topic requires the recognition of potential liabilities as a result of management’s acceptance of potentially uncertain positions for income tax treatment on a “more-likely-than-not” probability of an assessment upon examination by a respective taxing authority. As a result of the implementation of Codification’s Income Tax Topic, the Company did not incur any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
5.
Income (Loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company does not have any outstanding items which could be deemed to be dilutive.
6.
New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is of the opinion that any and all other pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Note E - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.

Note F - Mining Leases and Claims
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company issued issue 284,580,000 shares of its common stock into escrow for the benefit of Armada Mining, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and/or its assigns (Armada) in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the historic Tombstone Mining District. The Agreement allows for the Company to acquire rights and interests to approximately 3,800 acres of contiguous mineral leases, including some property acquired in fee simple, and ownership of 100% of Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, and is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. A copy of the Agreement was furnished as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed on or about November 28, 2016.
This exchange resulted in Armada owning approximately 85% of the Company, post-transaction. Subject to financing and various regulatory approvals, the Company intends to commence development of these properties by processing previously mined materials for silver, as well as precious and base metals; by reopening and developing existing mines using modern equipment and techniques; and by completing an existing drill/test grid to establish the boundary of producible ore bodies, in anticipation of a Bankable Feasibility Study and further development.
The completion of the acquisition of these currently non-performing claims/leases was initially subject to the completion of due diligence, acquisition of adequate financing and various regulatory approvals. On June 27, 2017, the Company announced that the due diligence process, although not totally complete, was sufficient to close the November 28, 2016 transaction. The transaction closed as follows:
a)
The Company received from Armada 100% of the issued and outstanding stock in Tombstone Development Company, which was formed in 1933, is believed to be the oldest continually operating mining company in Arizona. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at the nominal value of approximately $1,000.
b)
The Company received an assignment from Armada of approximately 45% of a specific group of claims/leases covering approximately 200 contiguous acres, subject to a “wrap” note issued in favor of Armada approximately equal to a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $200,000. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at approximately $400,000, which equals the value of the note payable being assumed and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
c)
The Company received an assignment from Armada of approximately 45% of a specific group of claims/leases covering approximately 700 contiguous acres, subject to a “wrap” note issued in favor of Armada approximately equal to a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $700,000. This piece of the transaction was recorded at approximately $1,400,000, which equals the approximate value of the note being assumed and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
NOTE: in both b) and c) - Armada will retain the remaining respective 55% in each specific group of claims/leases, subject to the generation of approximately $500,000 in net earnings from the respective claims AFTER the retirement of all affiliated debt. After the debt is retired and the $500,000 is paid to Armada, the residual 55% will transfer to the Company for no additional consideration.
d)
The Company received an assignment of 100% of approximately ten (10) specific claims/leases acquired from the Bureau of Land Management by Jack T. Bauska, personally. This piece of the acquisition was recorded at the nominal value of $2,000, which approximates the founder’s cost related to Mr. Bauska’s expenses for acquisition and recording.
e)
The Company received an assignment of 100% of certain claims/leases covering approximately 278 contiguous acres originally acquired by Jack T. Bauska, personally; subject to a 100% assumption of a note payable to the original lessee of approximately $560,000 and accrued interest of approximately $60,526. This piece of the transaction was valued at approximately $898,526, which equals the approximate value of the note being received and the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.

Note F - Mining Leases and Claims - continued
f)
The Company received an assignment of 47.5% of certain claims/leases, covering approximately 2,300 contiguous acres, controlled by an affiliate of Armada. At the time the Armada affiliate receives approximately $800,000 in net proceeds from the development of the affiliated claims, the Armada affiliate will transfer the residual 52.5% to the Company for no additional consideration. This piece of the transaction was valued at the nominal value of approximately $2,300,000, which equals the nominal intrinsic value of $1,000 per acre.
This aggregate transaction has an approximate initial gross asset value of approximately $5,000,526 with the issuance or assumption of underlying debt to initially acquire said claims/leases of approximately $1,460,000.
The “wrap” note issued to Armada is for an aggregate $900,000 and bears interest at 7.0% interest. The “wrap” note is due on December 31, 2018 and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The assumed note is in the principal amount of $560,000 and bears interest at 5.0%. This note originally matured on August 20, 2015, is secured by a Deed of Trust on the underlying claims/leases and no notice of default or demand for payment has been made by the initial borrower. Management is of the opinion that this note is currently in “demand” status and the underlying assets are not at risk for foreclosure.
Management has evaluated the carrying value of these assets as of December 31, 2017, and subsequent thereto, and has determined that given the absence of development capital there is limited value to these assets. Accordingly, management has provided an impairment equal to the net recorded value of these assets as of December 31, 2017.

Note I - Note Payable to Financial Services Firm
On February 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (MDA) with L2 Capital, LLC, a
Kansas limited liability company (“L2 Capital”). Our MDA has several components: 1) Under the Equity Purchase Agreement (‘Equity Line”), the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares of its common stock to L2 Capital at 75% of the prevailing OTC market price, as determined by the public market over time periods set out in the Equity Line, for up to $3,000,000 and 2) Under the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights”), the Company is obliged to register the offering of shares to be put under the Equity Line with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1, and certain Blue Sky regulators, so that L2 Capital may, presumably, resell such shares under our Rule 424 Prospectus.
The Company paid a 3% capital commitment fee to L2 Capital, by issuing to it a $90,000 8% Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) The Note requires us to repay $45,000, with interest, in six (6) months, and the balance upon the effective date of the referenced Form S-1, or an additional six (6) months, whichever is earlier. Our default would trigger conversion rights in favor of L2 Capital, permitting it to demand issuance of shares at a 30% discount to market sufficient to satisfy any amounts due.
Also included in the MDA are share reserve requirements, under which our transfer agent has agreed to maintain a portion of our authorized but unissued shares sufficient to meet our obligations under the Equity Line and Note.
As of December 31, 2017 and subsequent thereto, the Company is in default on this obligation and the recorded $90,000 has been charged to expense. No demand for either conversion or redemption has been made by L2 Capital.

Note K - Common Stock Transactions
On March 23, 2016, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation stating “After giving effect to a ten for one reverse split, Article III is amended to read as follows: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is five hundred twenty five million (525,000,000) shares, of which five hundred million (500,000,000) shares, par value $0.001 per share, shall be designated as “Common Stock” and twenty five million (25,000,000) shares, par value $0.001 per share, shall be designated as “Preferred Stock.” The effect of this action is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as of the first day of the first period presented.

This limited one-time conversion caused the issuance 0f 1,500,000 shares of common stock with a “fair value” of $217,350 resulting in a non-cash charge to operations of approximately $217,200, which is reflected as a component of interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.
On November 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement (Agreement). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company issued into escrow 284,580,000 shares of its common stock to Armada Mining, Inc., an Arizona corporation, and/or its assigns (Armada) in exchange for rights and interests in mining properties in the historic Tombstone Mining District.
