NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business: Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated in 1911 and is actively involved in operating gold mines in
Alleghany, California; currently, in maintenance status.
Inventory: Inventory consists of gold bullion, specimens and jewelry. Gold
bullion and specimens are quoted at the market price for gold bullion.
Jewelry is quoted at the market price for the gold content plus labor cost.
Gold bullion is accounted for using the FIFO method. All other inventory is
Accounted for using the specific identification method.
Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is
calculated using straight-line and accelerated methods over the following
useful lives: Vehicles 3 to 5 years, Equipment 5 to 7 years, Buildings 18 to
31.5 years.
Depletion Policy: Because of the geological formation in the Alleghany Mining
District, estimates of ore reserves currently cannot be calculated, and
accordingly, a cost per unit depletion factor cannot be determined. Should
estimates of ore reserves become available, the units of production method of
depletion will be used. Until such time, no depletion deduction will be
recorded.
Revenue Recognition: As they are mined, gold specimens are recorded in
inventory and revenue is recognized using quoted market prices for gold.
For income tax purposes revenues are not recognized until the gold is sold.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
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, 2010 and December 31,
2009, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. 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-Q 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
(maintains) 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 costs.
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.
BALANCE SHEET COMPARISONS
For the three-month period ending March 31, 2010 Real estate and mineral
property decreased by $297,354 (86%) due to the sale of the Brown Bear Mine
in Trinity County. See 2009 10-K notes for more information.
Bonds and Miscellaneous deposits increased by $2,502 (46%) due to the posting
of a bond with State Fund Insurance Company for Worker's Compensation
Insurance.
Noted due related parties decreased by $430,338 (66%) due to the application
of an advance on the sale of the Brown Bear Mine against the purchase. See
2009 10-K notes for more information.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three-month period ending March 31, 2010 decreased by $36,266
(77%) compared with the same period for 2009 due to lower sales of inventory
combined with no gold production.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in
2009 operating expenses increased overall by $30,112 (48%) due to increased
maintenance activity in 2010.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in
2009 other income increased by $278,813 (86%) due to the gain of $280,000 on
the sale of Brown Bear Mine. Other expenses decreased by $22,742 (98%) due to
an adjustment to interest expense in 2009 that did not occur in 2010 as well as
less interest expense in 2010.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in
2009 the company showed a profit of $185,460 compared to a loss of $38,768.
The increase of $224,228 (578%) is attributable to the closing of escrow on the
sale of the Brown Bear Mine in January. For details see the 2009 10-K notes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's liquidity is substantially dependent upon the results of
operations. The Company maintains a gold inventory which it liquidates to
satisfy working capital needs. There is no assurance that inventory is
adequate to sustain the Company.
PART II
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In July 2009 the Company and its president were served a complaint for damages
in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Sierra by the

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

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