RUBY MINING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) The Condensed Balance Sheet as of February 28, 1997 the Condensed
Statements of Operations for the three months and nine months ended February 28,
1997 and February 29, 1996, and the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine months ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, have been prepared by
the Registrant without audit. In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present the financial position of the
Registrant as of February 28, 1997, the results of operations for the three
months and nine months ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, and the
cash flows for the nine months then ended.
2) Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Registrant's May 31, 1996 Form
10-KSB.
3) The results of operations for the periods ended February 28, 1997 and
February 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Registrant's working capital decreased by $8,900 during the nine months
ended February 28, 1997 resulting in negative working capital of $13,600 a the
end of the period. The decrease in working capitl is primarily a result of a
$7,000 increase in accounts payable to affiliates for various general and
administrative expenses. Cash was reduced by $2,700 as various governmental
filing fees were paid, which was partially offset by interest earned on the
funds held in interest bearing accounts of $800 for a net decrease of cash of
$1,900.
The Registrant anticipates that it will be able to meet its capital
requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31, 1997 as USE has not
made demand on amounts due it. However, the Registrant must secure drilling or
construction contracts, or negotiate a way to retire debt to its directors and
parent company in order to continue operating long-term.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Registrant had no revenues from operations during the most recently
completed nine months or the corresponding nine months of the prior year. The
Registrant did, however, recognize $800 and
6
$900, respectively, in interest revenue for the nine months ended February 28,
1997 and February 29, 1996 ($200 and $300 in interest revenue for the three
month periods ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996).
General and administrative costs decreased by $200 during the nine months
ended February 28, 1997 from the same period of the previous year, primarily due
to reduced operating activity. There was an increase of $2,500 in general and
administrative expenses during the three months ended February 28, 1997, as
compared to the same three months of the previous year. This increase is due to
the reversal of an accrual of professional sesrvices in an earlier quarter of
the nine months ended February 29, 1996.
The Registrant's operations consist primarily of administrative activities
associated with the preparation of various reports and documents as required by
law.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.
(a) Exhibits. None.
(b) Reports on Form 8-K. There were no reports filed by the Registrant on
Form 8-K for the quarter ended February 28, 1997.
