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. 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 September 30, 2005 and December 31,
2004, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month & nine-month
periods ended Sept. 30, 2005 and 2004. 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
Predicting gold production at the operating Sixteen to One mine in Alleghany,
California is not a worthwhile endeavor. Terms such as "proven", "probable",
"inferred" or "measured" have no relevance in well established, traditional
gold deposits like the Alleghany Mining District. The company is the oldest
American gold mining corporation and continues to produce gold into the twenty
first century from a mine with no reserves. Terms used in most mining analysis
of future or potential gold mean nothing as to the future or potential of gold
remaining in the Sixteen to One mine. The company mines what its deposits
contain, high-grade gold veins within a well-defined vein of quartz. The
company is the world's premier high-grade gold producer. It is not merely guess
work that has allowed this to occur.
Because the gold in quartz is in demand as a precious gemstone, the Company is
not as sensitive to the fluctuations in the spot price for bullion; however,
revenues in bullion sales have increased over the past six months due to the
increases in the spot price. Currently, the demand for Sixteen to One gold
exceeds the supply. The price received for quartz with gold varies based on the
nature of the quartz and gold but is consistently three to four times the spot
price. The Company also sells its own line of jewelry.
The Company has a small crew and is only working the Sixteen to One Mine. It
owns other past gold producers in the Alleghany Mining district as well as the
Brown Bear mine in Trinity County, California. The Company has drafted plans
for bringing each of its mines into production. The Company has announced its
plans to construct a new shaft in the central area of its property.
Construction is dependent on available capital for the expansion, estimated to
be $3 million. The Directors have authorized its President to secure up to $3.5
million and use the Brown bear mine or the Company's gold collection to
accomplish the funding.
The Company was financially crippled by uncontrollable events over the past six
years, resulting in a serious lack of both working capital and growth capital.
These events included: over-aggressive State and Federal regulatory agencies,
increased utility costs, increased workers compensation costs, a bear market
for gold, which suppressed investors interest in a private placement of stock,
and reckless accusations of criminal behavior by private attorneys associated
with the tragic death of a miner. Currently, the atmosphere has greatly
changed. The Company is actively seeking working capital to correct its
financial shortcomings.
The Company has followed a traditional pattern of growth and development since
the mine was discovered in 1896. By acquiring mines within the region, Original
Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. is the hub of the Alleghany Mining District and the
most active high-grade area in California. On June 22, 2005, the Company
announced the acquisition of the mineral rights to fourteen claims, the patent
rights to one claim and the mill of the Gold Crown mine, adjacent to the
Sixteen to One Mine. The Board of Directors decided that it is a long-term
investment and important to the long-term welfare of the Company. There are
limited plans to investigate and evaluate the new acquisition.
For the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2005 mine production was
disappointing. Gold inventory at December 31, 2004 ($927,812) decreased
$313,492 to $614,320 on Sept. 30, 2005. 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
During the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2005 Current Assets decreased
by $322,050 (34%) primarily due the lack of gold production and subsequent
necessity of selling existing gold inventory to cover operating expenses.
Mining Property increased by $124,750 (19%) due to the acquisition of the Gold
Crown Mine.
Liabilities increased by $167,602 (20%) due to the note issued for the purchase
of the Gold Crown Property and an increase in notes payable related parties.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2005 decreased by $727,410
(87%) compared to the same period in 2004 and decreased by $846,924 (68.5%) for
the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2005 mainly due to the presence of gold
production in the 2004 periods and the lack thereof in 2005.
Changes in the Company's operating expenses are reflected as follows:
1. For the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2005 wages & salaries
increased by $16,995 (47%) and $40,775 (28%) respectively compared to the same
periods in 2004 due the addition of one employee.
2. Contract labor decreased by $140,059 (61%) for the three-month period
ended Sept. 30, 2005 compared the same period in 2004 due to the booking of
the production percentage payment owed to the contract miners in 2004. For
the nine-month periods the change is insignificant.
3. For the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2005 supplies expense
decreased by $22,764 (94%) and $25,410 (59.5%) respectively compared to the
same periods in 2004 as the company began to downsize its operation due to
the lack of gold production in 2005.
4. For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2005 small equipment and
repairs expense decreased by $12,157 (100%) due to a bookkeeping error in
the second quarter of 2005 in which an invoice was mistakenly booked to this
account but the error was not caught until after the second quarter was closed.
The credit was booked in the third quarter. For the nine-month periods the
change was insignificant.
5. Corporate expenses decreased by $1,081 (48%)for the three months ended
Sept. 30, 2005 due primarily to the lack of a formal board of directors meeting
in the third quarter.
6. For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2005, the Company recorded a
loss of $121,781 compared to a profit of $460,190 for same period in 2004 the
$581,971 (126%)difference is due primarily to the gold hit in July of 2004 and
the lack of a gold strike for the same period in 2005. The same is true of
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 wherein the company recorded a
loss of $367,700 compared to a profit of $466,739 for the same period in 2004
representing a $834,439 (178.7%) difference.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
None
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity is substantially dependent upon the results of its
operations. 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.

One Mine, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared by management 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.
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.
