NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. GENERAL NOTES
1. In accordance with directive from the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC)and Industry Guide 7, reference for all intent and purposes to the
Company's employees as miners, its properties as mines or its operation as
mining does not diminish the fact that the Company has no proven reserves and
is in the "exploration state" as defined in Guide 7(a)(4)(iii).
2. Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc., is a distinct company in that it is
the only operating SEC reporting company of its kind remaining in the United
States. While the reporting standards are in compliance with the SEC
requirements, management believes that the assets of the Company are
understated. As an example, in 2001, the Company incurred a loss of
approximately $800,000 in the writing down of development costs of the 2283
Winze. The development costs were capitalized based on gold production. Due
to more favorable locations for short-term gold production, the Company made
changes in its plan of operation. While the immediate future holds no promise
for operation in this area of the mine, the development still proves to be a
valuable asset to the infrastructure of the property.
3. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position at Sept. 30, 2002 and December
31, 2001, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods
ended Sept. 30, 2002 and 2001. The unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
II. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION
Gold production during the third quarter was insufficient to offset quarterly
expenses. Since the Sixteen to One Mine is well known for over one hundred
years as a unique gold deposit, predicting gold production is more speculative
than provable. Independent crews have access to company maps and records which
allows them to select and explore for gold in areas favorable for short term
goals.
Liberating the flooded levels of the mine remains a goal. Difficulties continue
due primarily to a lack of investment capital adequate to improve the rate of
pumping. While the new system has significantly reduced dewatering costs,
advancing the accessibility of the 2400 foot level has its ups and downs.
Due to the very nature of deep vein mining and the disappointing results this
year, no estimates are offered regarding the date of accessing the 2400 foot
level. New mine production was disappointing. Gold inventory at June 30,2002
($560,399) decreased $1,183 to $559,214 on September 30,2002. The Company
increased the price of its quartz and gold sold from new production and
inventory. Demand for the Company's primary product, gold laced quartz,
remains higher than available supply. While the daily price of gold bullion
impacts revenue, gold laced quartz is sold for many times its crush or spot
bullion price.
BALANCE SHEET COMPARISONS
The Company's decrease in assets of $212,619 (13%) for the nine month period
ended Sept.30 2002, was attributed to minimal gold production which necessitated
liquidating a portion of its inventory to satisfy working capital needs and
accumulated depreciation.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three-month period decreased by $84,520 (49%) compared with
The same period for 2001 as a result of a scaled down operation resulting in
lower production.
Changes in the Company's operating expenses are reflected as follows:
1. Salaries and wages, and contract labor decreased a total of $131,345 (77%).
2. The number of employees decreased for the three-month period ended September
30, 2002 by fourteen. The Company employed 2 persons at September 30, 2002.
Seven of the fourteen laid-off employees returned as independent contractors.
Compensation is based upon a percentage of gold production. The President
received no salary during the third quarter for 2002.
3. Insurance decreased $4,953 (66%) for the three-month period ended Sept. 30,
2002,compared with the same period for 2001, as the Company restructured and
reduced coverages.
4. Legal and accounting reflects a decrease of $5,218 (62%) for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2002, compared with the same period ended 2001.
Management represents the Company in compliance matters without engaging the
aid of outside counsel and therefore has incurred insignificant legal expense.
5. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded a
loss of $43,122 (before taxes) compared to a loss $89,923 (before taxes) for the
same period in 2001. The $46,801 (52%) difference is attributed to a scaled
down operation and no mid-range or long-range exploration being conducted.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity is substantially dependent upon the results of its
operations. While the Company does maintain a gold inventory which it can
liquidate to satisfy working capital needs, there can be no assurance that
such inventory will be adequate to sustain operations if the Company's gold
mining activities are not successful. Because of the unpredictable nature of
the gold mining business, the Company cannot provide any assurance with
respect to long-term liquidity. In addition, if the Company's operation does
not produce meaningful additions to inventory, the Company may determine it is
necessary to satisfy its working capital needs by selling gold in bullion
form.
The Company is dependent on continued recovery of gold and sales of gold from
inventory to meet its cash needs. Although the Company has historically
located an annual average of $848,000 of gold over a five year period, there
can be no assurance that the Company's efforts in any particular period will
provide sufficient funding for the Company to continue operations.
If the Company's cash resources are inadequate and its gold inventory is
depleted, the Company may seek debt or equity financing on the most reasonable
terms available.
PART II
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company disagrees with citations issued by the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA) and California Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (CalOSHA). These matters are at the administrative level and
are being addressed by the Company's management.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 29,2002, The Sierra County Grand Jury issued an indictment against
Michael Meister Miller, Jonathan Farrell and Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc.
The next court date is November 20, 2002 for arraignment. Management believes
the accusations are groundless; however, because the instigating prosecutors
are private non-governmental lawyers outside the standard criminal system, a
vigorous and time demanding defense and offense are necessary to protect the
shareholders' interests. Even unfounded criminal accusations are mentally
debilitating and time consuming. Because Miller and Farrell hold key
management positions, the company may suffer substantial and significant
damages due to the distraction caused by the prosecutors.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Original Sixteen to
One Mine, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practices. Such rules allow the omission of certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted audited accounting principles
as long as the statements are not misleading.
In the opinion of management, verified by signature below, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been
included. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the company included in its 2001 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles accepted in the United States requires management to
make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing
basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual
amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions. No
accounting principle upon which the Company's financial status depends,
requires estimates of proven and probable reserves and/or assumptions of
future gold prices. Commodity prices may significantly affect the company's
profitability and cash flow. No independent accounting firm or auditors have
any responsibility for the accounting and written statements of the
Form 10-QSB.
The Company and its president assume responsibility for the accuracy of this
filing and certify the financial statements present fairly in all material
respects, the financial position of Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc at
September 30, 2002.
