Shoshone Silver Mining Company (an Exploration Stage Company)
Condensed Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
December 31, 2010

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Shoshone Silver Mining Company (an Exploration Stage Company) (“the Company” or “Shoshone”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 4, 1969, under the name of Sunrise Mining Company and was engaged in the business of mining.  On January 22, 1970, the Company's name was changed to Shoshone Silver Mining Company.   During 2003, the Company’s focus broadened to include resource management and sales of mineral and timber interests. 

Beginning in fiscal 2000, the Company entered into an exploration stage.  The Company has acquired several mining properties since entering the exploration stage. 

The Company’s year-end is September 30^th.

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-Q and Rule 10-01 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on December 27, 2010. 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2011.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  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. 

Fair Value Measurements

Topic 820 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair

F-5

value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

• Level 1 inputs — Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
• Level 3 inputs — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Investments in available-for-sale securities and investments in silver coins and bars are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. For these investments, the Company obtains fair value from active markets.

The Company’s Note Receivable (net of discount) is reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.  The discounting of this note receivable utilized interest rates.  See Note 6.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has limited cash and limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of $2,700,175 from inception through December 31, 2010.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity 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.

F-6

Historically, the Company has generally funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, royalty and option agreement payments, and from the sale of the Company’s common stock.  Should the Company be unable to raise capital through any of these avenues, its business, financial position, results of operations and cash flow will likely be materially adversely impacted.  As such, substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern remains as of the date of these financial statements.

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 $1,000,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next twelve months. Currently, the Company anticipates raising the majority of the $1,000,000 through the issuance of common stock to private investors.  The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services, capital expenditures and revenues generated. 

Notes Receivable

The Company’s policy for notes receivable is to continue accruing interest income until it becomes likely that the note is uncollectible.  At that time, an allowance for bad debt would be established and interest would stop accruing. 

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its one wholly owned subsidiary, Lakeview Consolidated Silver Mines, Inc.  The inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. 

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  In particular, expenses totaling approximately $104,000 that were previously classified as general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in fiscal 2009 have been reclassified as mining and exploration expenses.  This reclassification was done to align the Company’s external reporting with its internal reporting.

Use of Estimates

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 the Company’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.

NOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND PREPAID EXPENSES

In December 2009, the Company purchased for $21,694 a one-year liability insurance policy covering its Lakeview mill (the “Policy”).  The Policy was purchased with a cash payment of $5,761 with the balance of $15,933 settled with a promissory note.  The Company recorded prepaid insurance of $21,694 and a related entry to record a $15,933 note payable. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, the $3,616 remaining balance of this prepaid insurance was amortized into General & Administrative Expenses.

F-7

NOTE 4: SUPPLIES INVENTORY

During 2004, the Company purchased 500 one troy ounce silver medallions with the Company’s logo for $5,303.  This purchase was recorded as supplies inventory and the medallions are expected to be used substantially for marketing purposes.  At December 31, 2010, the Company had 174 coins remaining in inventory with an historical cost basis of $1,840.

NOTE 5: PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation begins on the date an asset is placed in service using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life.

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are three to thirty-one and one-half years. The following is a summary of property, equipment, and accumulated depreciation at December 31 , 2010 and September 30, 2010:

		December 31,		September 30,

Property, Plant & Equipment, net	$	1,861,103	$	1,905,671

Depreciation expense was $45,595 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 and $44,532 for the comparable period last year. 

Equipment with a net book value of $8,666 serves as collateral for notes payable.  See Note 8.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. 

F-8

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Replacements and betterments are capitalized.  The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

NOTE 6: NOTES RECEIVABLE

Mexican Concessions

On August 11, 2008, the Company sold 100% of the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico, Shoshone Mexico, S.A. de C.V, to Xtierra Resources, Ltd (“Xtierra”).  The Company’s interest in the Bilbao concessions in Zacatecas, Mexico was included in this sale.   In exchange for its interest in the Bilbao concessions the Company received net proceeds of $2,497,990 and a non-interest bearing note receivable for $2,500,000. 

The note does not bear interest and a discounted payment of $450,000 was made in July 2009.   The remaining balance of $2,000,000 is to be paid in four consecutive equal annual installments to begin at the time of the commencement of construction of any mine developed on the Bilbao concessions but in any event will be due and payable no later than August 11, 2019. 

Since the note does not bear interest, the Company imputed interest at a rate of 5%.  Accordingly the Company recorded a note discount of $634,637.  During the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, $19,145 of interest income was realized through the amortization of this note discount. 

The balance on this note receivable (net of discount) was $1,557,089 at December 31, 2010.

Plan of Operation

Lakeview Property

During 2010, we entered into an agreement to sell silver concentrate produced at our Lakeview property to a smelter for refining.  During the prior fiscal year, our test runs generated revenues of $20,111 from the sale of concentrate to the smelter.  Our long-term goal is to mine and mill both silver and gold at our Lakeview property. 

Rescue Mine Property

Our first priority has been the upgrading and renovating the mill at the Rescue Mine Property.  Once this work is completed, test runs on stockpiled ore will be conducted. 

Mine development will require some ground support, general clean up, the installation of a refuge station and the addition of air and water lines.  A new decline portal has been planned to access the Rescue vein 1,000 feet east of the mill.  Road work, site preparation and collaring off for the new decline portal will be accomplished next summer.  This new decline portal will provide access to un-mined portions of the Rescue vein and, when completed, will serve as the secondary escape-way from the mine as well as the exhaust ventilation.  At this time, we are setting up to complete a seven-hole drilling program to establish a more detailed plan of operation.

Electrical work, which included installation of electrical panels, lights and power outlets, was completed in the large staging building, which was erected next to the Rescue Mill portal last summer to service operations in the Rescue Mine.   The new building is fully MSHA compliant.  Additionally, a diesel generator was installed to provide power to the Rescue Mine as part of our ongoing preparations to bring the Rescue Mine and mill back into productions.

Please refer to our discussion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern below for further details.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have had limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of $2,700,175 from inception through December 31 , 2010.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We intend to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity and fully implement our 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 we cannot continue in existence.

Historically, we have generally funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of “available-for-sale” investments, royalty and option agreement payments, and from the sale of our common stock.  Should we be unsuccessful in any of the initiatives or matters discussed above and unable to raise capital through future private placements, our business, and, as a result, our financial position, results of operations and cash flow will likely be materially adversely impacted.  As such, substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern remains as of the date of these financial statements.

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 we cannot continue in existence.  An estimated $1,000,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next twelve months. Currently, we anticipate raising the majority of the $1,000,000 through the issuance of common stock to private investors.  The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services.

Overview of Operating Results

The decrease in net loss during the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the receipt of $85,000 in lease income.  Also contributing to the improvement to the bottom-line was a $12,157 gain realized on the sale of available-for-sale securities and silver.  There were also decreases in professional fees and exploration expenses as we continued to align our expenditures with our capital recourses.

Operating Expenses

The decrease in our operating expenses primarily reflects our continuing efforts to control costs and improve efficiencies.  For example, we had five employees by the end of the current quarter compared with eight at the end of the same quarter last year. 

Other Income (Expenses)

The increase in other income (expense) during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, was primarily related to our receipt of $85,000 in connection the settlement of a lease dispute. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we were awarded a total of $100,000 as settlement of a claim we had filed in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeds of an unrelated company.  The claim asserted that we, as lessor, were owed compensation for the failure of the lessee to maintain proper title to the Bullion Claims with the Bureau of Land Management.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we assigned the rights to this settlement to an investment firm for net proceeds of $85,000. 

Also contributing to this increase was a net gain realized on the sale of investments of $12,157 during the recent quarter.  In the same quarter last year, we realized a net loss of $8,746 on the sale of investments.

Overview of Financial Position

At December 31, 2010, we had cash of $37,398 and total liabilities of $227,888.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we raised $25,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of 250,000 shares of our common stock.  Also, we received $85,000 in lease income as a settlement from a mining company that had file for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  These proceeds were used primarily to continue limited exploration activities at our Lakeview property, to continue refining our milling process at that same location and to continue refurbishing our newly acquired mill building at our Rescue mine. 

Property, Plant and Equipment

At December 31, 2010, property, plant and equipment before accumulated depreciation totaled $3,460,469, an increase of $1,026, from $3,459,443 at September 30, 2010.  The small increase was related to equipment purchases at our Rescue Gold Mine. 

See “Note 5. Property, Plant and Equipment” to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

Notes Receivable

On December 31, 2010, we had notes receivable, net of discount, of $1,557,089 compared with $1,537,944 at September 30, 2010.  The increase related entirely to the amortization of the discount into interest income.

See “Note 6. Notes Receivable” to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

Investments

Our investment portfolio at December 31, 2010, was $181,392, an increase of $48,962 from the September 30, 2010, balance of $132,430.  This increase was primarily due to rising share prices of the investments in our portfolio partially offset by the sale of 66,000 shares of common stock and 600 ounces of silver during fiscal 2010. 

See “Note 7:  Investments” to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our total stockholders’ equity was $5,607,303 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $33,679 from $5,573,624 at September 30, 2010.  The increase in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due an unrealized holding gain of 66,436 on our investments and, to a lesser extent, the issuance of 250,000 common shares for $25,000 in cash. 

See “Note 7: Investments” to our consolidated financial statements for further details. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

During three-month period ended December 31, 2010, our operating activities used $76,125 and used $278,990 during the same period last year.  This improvement was primarily the result of the realization of a net loss of $116,651 during the current quarter compared with a net loss of $286,829 last year.

Investing Activities

During three-month period ended December 31, 2010, our investing activities provided $28,604 and provided $2,820 during the same period last year.  This increase was primarily our spending only $1,027 on fixed assets during the current quarter compared with $20,580 last year.

Financing Activities

During three-month period ended December 31, 2010, our financing activities provided $29,066 and provided $312,499 during the same period last year.  This decrease was primarily net proceeds from the sale of stock of $25,000 received during the current quarter compared with $318,000 last year.
