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, 2008 and December 31,
2007, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month & nine-month
periods ended Sept. 30, 2008 and 2007. 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. 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.
General accounting principles do not allow the Company to adjust its real estate
to reflect market value, which has increased substantially. Standing timber
values are not included as assets on the balance sheet. These unreported
assets will significantly increase the Companies net worth.
There are over thirty 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 Alleghany patented claims. It announced specific data
including a Vision Statement, Executive Summary, Use of Proceeds, Performa
Statement and critical review of the Company's strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats. This is available upon request.
In December of 2007, management elected to discontinue its exploration program
at the Sixteen to One Mine in favor of focusing its attention on surface and
underground repairs and maintenance.
BALANCE SHEET COMPARISONS
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008:
Total assets decreased by $76,209 (5%) mainly due to a decrease in inventory as
a result of a decrease in the price of gold.
Accounts payable & accrued expenses increased by $181,029 (59%) primarily due
to the booking of legal fees see # 7 below as well as increased reliance on
creditors.
Long-term liabilities increased by $5,943 (10%) due to the booking of accrued
interest.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Gold & jewelry sales for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008 decreased
by $279,559 (108%) compared to the same period in 2007 due to decreased sales
as well as a lack of production in 2008.
For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008, the change in the value of
the gold inventory based on the spot price of gold at the end of the quarter
(PM London Fix) exceeded the amount of revenue for the quarter (gold price
down) resulting in negative net revenue. Due to this unusual circumstance the
valuation adjustment which is normally included in "Total Revenue" has been
broken out for both the three and nine-month periods. The valuation adjustment
serves the dual purpose of correcting the booked value of our inventory as well
as adjusting the cost of goods sold to reflect actual gold prices.
For the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008 Gold & Jewelry Sales decreased
by $389,412 (77%) compared to the same period in 2007 due to decreased sales
and no production in 2008.
Changes in the Company's operating expenses are reflected as follows:
1. For the three and nine-month period ended Sept. 30 2008, salaries and wages
increased by $3,996 (22%) and 13,230 (23%) respectively compared the same period
in 2007 due to the transfer of part-time administrative staff from
subcontractor Morning Glory Gold Mines to Original Sixteen to One.
2. For the three and nine-month period ended Sept. 30 2008, contract labor
decreased by $147,737 (95%) and 421,250 (96%) respectively compared the same
period in. This is a result of management's decision to forgo underground
development and concentrate on mine maintenance.
3. For the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2008, utilities expense
decreased by $4,589 (27%) and $17,097 (32%) respectively compared to the
same periods in 2007 due to the mine switching to maintenance-only status
at the end of 2007.
4. For the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2008, supplies
decreased by $3,059 (28%) and $19,329 (49%) respectively compared to the same
periods in 2007 due to the mine switching to a maintenance-only status at the
end of 2007.
5. For the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2008, small equipment
and repairs decreased by $1,780 (35%) and $31,099 (77%) respectively due to
the mine switching to a maintenance-only status at the end of 2007
6. For the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008, drayage decreased $4,894
(56%) and $9,806 (37%) respectively compared to the same periods in 2007 due
to the mine switching to a maintenance-only status at the end of 2007.
7. For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008, legal & accounting
decreased by $9,909 (99%) compared to the same period in 2007 due to
the termination of the pending lawsuit against the California District
Attorney's association. For the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008, legal
and accounting increased by $76,558 (634%) due to the issuance of an order on
January 7, 2008 for plaintiff Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. to reimburse
defendants CDAA et al $88,376 for attorneys fees. See legal proceedings.
8. For the three and nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2008, compliance &
safety decreased by $946 (74%) and $5,261 (92%) respectively compared to
the same periods in 2007 due to the mine going onto a maintenance-only status
at the end of 2007.
9. For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss
of $128,304 compared to a profit of $32,255 for same period in 2007. The
$160,559 (497%)difference is due primarily to an increase in the price of gold
and the sale of a fixed asset in 2007 compared to a decrease in the price of
gold in 2008. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 the company
recorded a loss of $308,157 compared to a loss of $241,866 for the same period
in 2007, the $66,291 (27%) difference is due to the combined factors of rising
gold prices and higher operating expenses in 2007 compared to falling gold
prices combined with lower operating expenses and no production in 2008.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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.
PART II
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
1. Plaintiff in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Sierra
against private lawyers and their employer. Case filed February 13, 2004.
Case No. 6293, Complaint for Damages (Malicious Prosecution, Intentional
Infliction of Emotional Distress, Intentional Interference with Perspective
Advantage). Defendants appealed their loss of an anti-slap motion to the
California Appeals Court, Third District which overturned the Superior Court
decision on May 8, 2007. The Company filed a Petition for Review with the
California Supreme Court on June 18, 2007, which was denied. On January 7,
2008 Superior Court visiting Judge R. Michael Smith issued an order for
plaintiff Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. to reimburse defendants CDAA et al
$88,376 for attorneys fees. This case is now closed.
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
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, 2008.
