Shoshone Silver Mining Company
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Basis of Presentation:

	The foregoing unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of Shoshone Silver Mining Company’s (“Shoshone’s”) financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of Shoshone’s financial position and results of operations.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

	This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding Shoshone’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes rely on the integrity and objectivity of the Company’s management. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

	Estimates:

	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.

	Going Concern

	As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of $3,562,648 through June 30, 2005. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has established plans designed to increase the sales of the Company’s products. Management intends to seed additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

	An estimated $150,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next fiscal year. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services.

3.	Investments

	Shoshone’s securities investments are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value as of the balance sheet date, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. The fair value of any investments in restricted stock as discounted 35%.

	The investments are summarized as follows:

				December 31,
		June 30, 2005		2004

Fair value of investments	$	570,231	$	1,020,236
Gross unrealized gain		317,445		733,857

Cost	$	252,786	$	286,379

4.	Commitments and Contingencies

	Shoshone is engaged in mineral mining and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of mining sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to mineral mining and the operation thereof.

	Although the mineral exploration and mining industries are inherently speculative and subject to complex environmental regulations, Shoshone is unaware of any pending litigation or of any specific past or prospective matters which could impair the value of its mining claims.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

SHOSHONE SILVER MINING COMPANY
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

This report contains forward-looking statements. For a discussion about such statements, including the risks and uncertainties inherent therein, see “Forward-Looking Statements.” Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this report.

General

Shoshone Silver Mining Company (“Shoshone”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 4, 1969, under the name of Sunrise Mining Company and is engaged in the business of mining. On January 22, 1970, the Company’s name was changed to Shoshone Silver Mining Company. The Company’s year end is December 31

Results of Operations

Overview. Shoshone recorded a net loss of $39,000, or $0.002 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with a net loss of $81,000, or $0.007 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Shoshone recorded a net loss of $147,000, or $0.008 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with a net loss of $173,000, or $0.015 per diluted shares, for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004 was due primarily to decreases in operating expenses and increase in other income. The decrease in net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to decreased operating expenses partially offset by a decrease in other income.

Other Income.Other income was $16,000 and $(0.9) thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Other income was $0.2 thousand and $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase was primarily due to net gain realized on sale of investments.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $54,000 and $81,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Operating expenses were $146,000 and $193,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decrease general and administration expenses and mining expenses partially offset by increase professional fees.

Financial Position

Assets. At June 30, 2005, Shoshone’s assets were $1.7 million, down $0.6 million from $2.3 million at December 31, 2004.

Investments. Shoshone’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2005 was $570,000, a decrease of $450,000 from the December 31, 2004 balance of $1.0 million.

Mineral and Mining Properties. At June 30, 2005, mineral and mining properties were $358,000, up $47,000 from $311,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions of three mining properties during the first quarter of 2005.

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities remained at $228,000 at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of available-for-sale securities in the investment portfolio and mining properties, partially offset by proceeds from sale of investments. During the same period, there was no cash provided by financing activities.

Capital Resources

Shoshone’s total stockholders’ equity was $1.4 million at June 30, 2005 compared with $2.0 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to common stock issued for cash through a private placement offering and other common stock issued for services and acquisition of mining properties. Stockholders’ equity was 86.3% of total assets at June 30, 2005 compared with 88.0% at December 31, 2004.

At June 30, 2005, Shoshone had an unrealized gain of $317,000, net of related income taxes, on investments classified as available for sale. At December 31, 2004, Shoshone had an unrealized gain of $734,000, net of related income taxes, on investments classified as available for sale. Fluctuations in prevailing market values continue to cause volatility in this component of accumulated comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity and may continue to do so in future periods.

Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, Shoshone and its senior managers have made and will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are contained in this report and may be contained in other documents that Shoshone files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such statements may also be made by Shoshone and its senior managers in oral or written presentations to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Also, forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements provide our expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. They are not guarantees of future performance. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Changes in Internal Controls
