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 March 31, 2006 and December 31,
2005, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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
The Sixteen to One mine in the Alleghany Mining District is a unique mine and
requires a unique operation, which has been recognized by its owners, its
miners, geologists, engineers, and some public agencies during the last decade
of the twentieth century and to the present. It is a traditional high-grade,
hard rock, underground gold mine. According to statement by the federal Mines
Safety Health Administration, it is the only underground single product (gold)
mine operating in the United States today. The same company owns and operates
the mine. Original Sixteen to One Mine Inc, (owner) was incorporated in
California in 1911. Experts estimate that less than twenty percent of the
proven and probable ore deposit has been mined. Production is approximately
1,500,000 ounces of gold.
There are over twenty-eight miles of horizontal workings and millions of cubic
feet of vertical excavations called stopes. The entire grounds are not
maintained for mining. Once an area is targeted for mining, travel ways and
escape routes are brought into safety compliance. Production miners set up a
heading (face) and begin a drill-blast-muck sequence into the quartz. Gold is
hosted in the quartz vein in exceedingly rich concentrations called "pockets".
Metal detectors are regularly used underground as a tool for guiding the
direction of the work. Metal detectors are also used as a tool to separate the
ore underground. This has the positive affect of reducing the volume of shot
rock from the mine, thereby reducing cost. In 1992, the company initiated a
gold marketing plan of selling gold in quartz as a gemstone. This produces
revenue significantly greater than selling gold into the spot market. Demand
for the Sixteen to One gold-in-quartz gemstone exceeds supply.
Production has been termed a "feast or famine" situation for over 100 years.
Reserves in a high-grade gold mine cannot be termed as "proven". The company
hoards gold and sells it according to short-term cash needs. This fact
requires an operator to manage its cash flow to operate between pockets. It is
difficult to undertake major expansion plans with an uncertain supply of
capital. The Company has announced general plans to build a new shaft in the
northern section of its patented claims.
During the first quarter of 2006 the price of gold increased by $69.00 per
ounce to $582 per ounce (P.M. London fix) on March 31, 2006.
BALANCE SHEET COMPARISONS
For the three-month period ending March 31, 2006 current assets increased by
$86,156 (14%) due primarily to an increase in the value of our gold inventory.
Total assets increased by $75,265 (5%) for the same reason listed above.
Notes due to related parties increased by $74,915 (32%) as a result of money
loaned to the Company by Michael Miller in the form of unpaid wages and cash.
Total liabilities increased by $61,856 (6%) for the same reason listed above.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three-month period ending March 31, 2006 increased by $90,432
(106%) compared with the same period for 2005 due to increased slab sales and
and an increase the gold price during the quarter.
Changes in the Company's operating expenses for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 are reflected as follows:
1. Salaries and wages decreased by $26,256 (59%) as the entire workforce
with the exception of the President of the Company was contracted out.
2. Contract labor decreased by $76,075 (50%) due to an overall downsizing of
the operation.
3. Telephone and utilities decreased by $18,271 (67%) as the pumps were turned
off during the quarter.
4. Supplies decreased by $5,395 (58%) due to a downsized operation.
5. Small equipment and repairs decreased by $11,470 (96%) due to the
downsized operation.
6. Drayage increased by $6,061 (95%) due primarily to required vehicle repairs.
7. Compliance and Safety increased by $954 (62%).
8. Legal and accounting decreased by $1,471 (41%) as less time was spent on
lawsuits.
9. Depreciation & amortization increased by $3,991 (58%) as the result of an
adjustment done in accordance with direction from the C.P.A. who oversees our
depreciation schedule as well as increased depreciation expense due to the
purchase of the Gold Crown Property which included equipment.
10. Other expenses decreased by $3,190 (48%) primarily due to a downsized
operation.
11. Total operating expenses decreased by $133,305 (47%) due to a downsized
operation.
12. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded a
profit of $13,409 (before taxes) compared to a loss of $211,526 (before taxes)
for the same period in 2005. The $224,935 (106%) difference is attributed
to a decrease in expenses as well as an increase in gold sales and the price
of gold.
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. 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.

OTHER INFORMATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Original Sixteen to
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

of proven and probable reserves and/or assumptions of future gold prices.

flow. No independent accounting firm or auditors have any responsibility for
the accounting and written statements of the Form 10-QSB.

filing and certify the financial statements present fairly in all material
respects, the financial position of Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc at March
31, 2005.
