Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (4) FRANKLIN CONSOLIDATED MINING CO., INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 1998, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited balance sheet in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 (the"10-KSB") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain terms used herein are defined in the 10-KSB. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes to financial statements and the other information in the 10-KSB. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 1998. Prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has had recurring losses and cash flow deficiencies since inception. As at March 31, 1998, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $13,274,994, current liabilities of $1,806,727, and a working capital deficiency of $1,806,727. Also, the Company was in default on the payment of the principal balance and accrued interest on certain notes and debentures. Certain accounts payable also were past due, and the Company has possible permit and other violations. In addition to the payment of its current liabilities, management estimates that the Company will incur general, administrative, and other costs and expenditures, exclusive of any costs and expenditures related to any mining and milling operations, at the rate of approximately $20,000 per month plus interest during 1998. Such matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the above uncertainty. U.S. Mining Co. and its affiliates have pledged to provide financing to the Company on an as needed basis until on or about January 1, 1999. The funds received from USM and its affiliates will cover the general, administrative and other costs approximated at $20,000 per month plus interest. Additional monies raised from USM will help finance $750,000 of funds the Company estimates will be needed to ready the Franklin Mine and Milling properties for the commencement of extraction and milling. Additional funds will be needed to support the extraction and milling processes once underway as well as to upgrade the processing facilities to allow for an increase in ore processing capacity. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate funds available to repay the funds advanced by USM and its affiliates. In the event that the Company defaults on its obligations, USM may foreclose on the assets secured by the POS note. Such foreclosure actions by USM would have a material adverse effect on the future operations of the Company and the Company's ability to explore the Franklin Mines. Substantially all of the $5,424,935 of mineral properties and equipment included in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, is related to exploration properties. The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in exploration properties and equipment is dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make other arrangements for development, and upon future profitable production. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (5) FRANKLIN CONSOLIDATED MINING CO., INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE RELATED PARTY AND OTHERS Notes payable related party and others consist of the following at March 31, 1998: 12% unsecured demand note due to an affiliate of the Company's President $ 20,000 Secured promissory note (a) 60,000 Unsecured promissory notes (b) 87,000 -------- $167,000 ======== (a) The outstanding principal balance of the note became payable on July 18, 1996 and the Company is in default. The note is guaranteed by certain officers of Gems and is collateralized through a subordinated security interest in the Company's mining reclamation bond. Interest on the note is payable based on the rate of interest applicable to the mining reclamation bond. (b) This principal amount represents four unsecured promissory notes comprised of one $36,000 note and three $17,000 notes payable. These obligations were assumed by the Company on November 25, 1997, as part of the acquisition from USM of the remaining interest in the Joint Venture. These notes were in default when assumed by the Company, and remain in default as of March 31, 1998. Interest is being accrued at rates between 8% and 17% per annum. Accrued interest on the above notes at March 31, 1998 aggregated approximately $28,000, including $4,344 payable to the Company's President. NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES The Company's convertible debt at March 31, 1998 consist of: 12.25% convertible debenture originally due 12/31/94 $145,000 As of March 31, 1998, the Company was in default with respect to the payment of the $145,000 principal balance of the debenture and accrued interest of approximately $53,000. As a result of its default, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings by the Transfer Agent/Trustee under the Indenture Agreement or from debenture holders seeking immediate repayment of principal plus interest and other costs. Management cannot assure that there will be funds available for the required payments or what the effects will be of any actions brought by or on behalf of the debenture holders. NOTE 5 - NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY The Company had outstanding a 8% promissory note balance of $995,773, at March 31, 1998, which represents monies advanced to the Company by POS Financial, Inc. ("POS"), and U.S. Mining, Inc. ("USM") and obligations assumed in connection with the contributions of Joint Venture interests in 1997. The note is payable on May 4, 1998, and is secured by all the Company's mining claims and mining properties, as well as its interests in the Hayden/Kennec Leases. The note is subject to successive 30 day extensions throughout 1998 upon the mutual agreement of the maker and lender for no additional consideration. On March 5, 1998, POS assigned this note to USM. Both POS and USM are considered related parties because they can exert significant influence over the Company. Accrued interest at March 31, 1998 was approximately $27,000. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (6) FRANKLIN CONSOLIDATED MINING CO., INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Agreements The original Hayden/Kennec Leases provided for payment by the Company of certain liabilities relating to the leased property and a minimum royalty payment of $2,000 per month or 5% of the Company's net smelter royalties realized from production, whichever is greater to Mrs. Hayden and Mrs. Kennec. The original Hayden/Kennec Leases expired in November 1996, at which time the Company had the option to purchase the leasehold rights for a purchase price of $1,250,000 less any royalties previously paid as of the expiration date. As of November 1996, the Company had paid approximately $480,000 in royalties. On November 19, 1996, the Company entered into an amendment to the Hayden/Kennec Leases with Dorothy Kennec (the "Kennec Amendment"). Pursuant to the terms of the Kennec Amendment, Kennec agreed to extend the term as it relates to her portion of the leasehold rights through November 12, 1997. In consideration for such extension, the Company agreed to increase the royalty payment due to Kennec under the original Hayden/Kennec Leases from $1,000 to $2,000 per month and to issue to Kennec 104,000 shares of the common stock of the Company valued at $.125 per share, having an aggregate value of $13,000. All of the payments made under the Kennec Amendment plus the value of the shares issued thereunder are to be further applied against the buy-out price of the property under the original Hayden/Kennec Leases. The 104,000 shares of common stock were issued on April 9, 1997. To further secure the Company and the Joint Venture, Gems entered into an agreement on December 21, 1995 to purchase Hayden's interest thereto (the "Hayden Interests") for a purchase price of $75,000. Gems made an initial payment of $5,000 to Hayden and the remainder of the purchase price was to be paid on or prior to the expiration date of the Hayden/Kennec Leases. Gems advised the Company that under Colorado law, if an owner of 50% of mineral rights desired to exploit those rights, then the remaining 50% owner could not object to the exploitation of the rights, provided the non-participating owner received 50% of the net profits generated from such exploitation. Therefore, Gems informed the Company that it believed that with the acquisition of the Hayden interest, together with the portion of the Hayden/Kennec Leases owned by Kennec, the Company and the Joint Venture would have adequate access to the minerals during the remainder of the term of the Hayden/Kennec Leases on a continuing basis. On November 12, 1997, Gems had failed to comply with the terms of the Hayden/Kennec-Gems Purchase Agreement. On November 13, 1997, Hayden entered into an agreement to sell the Hayden interests to USM for a purchase price of $75,000 (the "Hayden-USM Purchase Agreement"). The purchase price is evidenced by a note, due on February 2, 1998. Payment on the note has been extended until USM receives a report of clear title. Upon the execution of the Hayden-USM Purchase Agreement, USM agreed to extend the Hayden/Kennec Leases upon the same terms and conditions currently in effect through March 13, 1998 (the "Extended Expiration Date"). The Company is currently in negotiations to extend these interests. While the Company has extended the term of the Hayden/Kennec Leases, as amended through March 13, 1998, in the event that it shall expire or otherwise terminate, any improvements made on the property become the property of the lessor without any further compensation to the Company and the lessor would have to reclaim the property in accordance with the State of Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (the "DMG") requirements in effect at the time of such expiration or termination. Thus, the likelihood that the Company would recover fixtures and other equipment on the property may be minimal. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (7) FRANKLIN CONSOLIDATED MINING CO., INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Environmental Matters On January 31, 1997, the Company received approval from the DMG of its March 6, 1996 amended application to its permit by obtaining the $252,000 bond required by the DMG from an independent bonding company in exchange for (i) the deposit by the Company of $125,000 in a trust account maintained for the benefit of the bonding company, (ii) guarantees from the Joint Venture partner and certain of its principals and (iii) the posting of a performance bond from an independent bonding company by one of the Joint Venture's contractors with respect to the completion of the technical and remediation work required by the regulatory authorities. As a result, management believes that substantially all of the necessary environmental and regulatory approvals have been obtained from DMG. The amended permit required among other things the submission of a final design for tailings disposal facilities, the installation of a Surface Water Control Plan previously approved by the DMG, the filing of an Environmental Protection Plan, and the completion of certain closure plans. As of March 31, 1998, the Company has no formal violations against it with respect to the Franklin Mines and Franklin Mill. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to adequately comply with the conditions set forth in its permit approval or that future violations will not arise and that such violations will not lead to interruptions in operations at the Franklin Mines or Franklin Mill. Litigation The Company is involved in various litigation as explained below: (a) The Company and others are defendants in the action related to a dispute over fees for engineering consulting services supplied in the amount of approximately $268,000. The Court has remanded the case to arbitration. The defendants plan to vigorously defend their position asserting that the work was never completed. An accrued liability of $35,000 which the Company estimates to be its portion of the total claim has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. (b) In September 1997, certain of the Company's 12.25% Convertible Debenture holders instituted an action against the Company for payment of approximately $42,500 principal amount of its 12.25% Convertible Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling approximately $13,000 and other costs and expenses related thereto. The Company has answered the aforesaid complaint. An unfavorable resolution of these matters could result in material liabilities or charges that have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. NASDAQ Notification In 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved certain amendments to the listing requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market. On February 27, 1998, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ informing the Company that as of that date, the Company's common stock is not in compliance with the new minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 which became effective on February 23, 1998. The review of the Company's common stock price was based upon the price data covering the previous 30 consecutive trade dates. The Company has been given 90 calendar days, expiring May 28, 1998, in order to regain compliance. The Company would be able to regain compliance if its common stock trades at or above the minimum requirement of $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trade days. In the event that the Company's common stock does not regain compliance within the 90 day period, NASDAQ has advised the Company that it will issue a delisting letter which will identify the review procedures available to the Company. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (8) FRANKLIN CONSOLIDATED MINING CO., INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) Management believes that it is unlikely, given past trends, that the Company's common stock will sustain a minimum bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive trade days between now and May 28, 1998. Thus, it is likely that the Company will receive formal delisting notification and that the Company's common stock will no longer be listed for trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. However, management believes that the Company's common stock will qualify for trading on the Over-The-Counter/Bulletin Board ("OTC") market and the Company will make every effort to include its common stock on the OTC in the likely event of a delisting by NASDAQ. The Company is unable to determine the effect, if any, a delisting by NASDAQ would have on the Company's ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (9) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company had no active mining or milling operations during the first quarter of 1998, however, remediation work was substantially completed at the Franklin Mine and Mill in preparation for the anticipated commencement of mining operations sometime during the third quarter of this year. Management estimates that the Company will incur general, administrative and other costs and expenditures, exclusive of any costs and expenditures related to any mining and milling operations and interest, at the rate of approximately $20,000 per month for the remainder of 1998. U.S. Mining Co. and its affiliates have verbally pledged to provide financing to the Company on an as needed basis until on or about January 1, 1999. The Company cannot assure, however, that USM will fulfill its commitment to fund the Company's operations through January 1999. The funds received from USM and its affiliates will cover the general, administrative and other costs approximated at $20,000 per month plus interest. Additional monies raised from USM will help finance $750,000 of funds the Company estimates will be needed to ready the Franklin Mine and Milling properties for the commencement of extraction and milling. Additional funds will be needed to support the extraction and milling processes once underway as well as to upgrade the processing facilities to allow for an increase in ore processing capacity. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate funds available to repay the funds advanced by USM and its affiliates or that USM will fulfill its obligations to fund the Company through January 1999. In the event that the Company defaults on its obligations, USM may foreclose on the assets secured by the POS note. Such foreclosure actions by USM would have a material adverse effect on the future operations of the Company and the Company's ability to explore the Franklin Mines. Results of Operations: Three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 The Company had no active mining or milling operations during the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company had a net loss of $171,431 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $155,907 during the same period in 1997. The loss in 1998 was higher due to higher general and administrative costs $15,476 and the assumption of $12,346 of mine expenses and environmental remediation costs which, during the three months ended March 31, 1997, had been paid by the Zeus joint venture. General and administrative expenses were $101,494 for the first quarter 1998 compared with $86,018 during the same period in 1997. This increase was due to an increase in professional fees associated with ongoing litigation, and SEC reporting and compliance. Interest income was $980 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with $952 during the same period in 1997. Interest expense was $27,096 during the 1998 quarter as compared to $37,953 in the 1997 quarter. This decrease was due to interest incurred on notes in connection with the Gold Hill Mill and Newmineco acquisitions in 1997 but not during 1998. Three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 The Company had a net loss of $155,907 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to a net loss of $284,421 during the same period in 1996. The loss in 1996 was higher due to legal and engineering fees incurred in connection with permit violations and bond reclamation requirements imposed by Colorado regulatory authorities. General and administrative expenses were $84,018 for the first quarter 1997 compared with $233,985 during the same period in 1996. This decrease, as mentioned above, was due to a substantial decrease in legal and engineering fees. Interest income was $952 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with $590 during the same period in 1996. Interest expense was $37,953 during the 1997 quarter as compared to $19,441 in the 1996 quarter. This increase was due to interest incurred on notes in connection with the Gold Hill Mill and Newmineco acquisitions. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (10) PART II Item 1. Legal Proceedings Convertible Debentures On June 1, 1994, the Company advised the Transfer Agent/Trustee that the Company was not in compliance with certain of the terms of the indenture (the "Indenture") relating to the Company's 12-1/4% Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") in that it had not maintained current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as required. Accordingly, the Transfer Agent/Trustee was instructed not to convert any of the Debentures into Common Stock of the Company until such time as the Company notified the Transfer Agent. The Company failed to make required sinking fund payments in 1994 and was unable to pay the principal balance of the Debentures due on December 31, 1994 resulting in a default under the terms of the Indenture. Although the Company was in default, it agreed to continue to make quarterly interest payments to the Debenture Holders during fiscal year 1995 until such time as the principal amount of the Debentures could be paid in full. It was anticipated that the Company would have the funds available to make such payments by December 31, 1995. The Company made the first quarterly interest payment due on the Debentures in 1995 but has failed to make any additional payments with respect to such interest as of the date hereof. In December 1995, the Company sent notices to the debenture holders requesting their consent to extend the maturity date of the Debentures to December 31, 1996. It was also contemplated that the conversion rights of such holders would also be extended at its current rate of $.50 per share. The Company also agreed that it would bring current all interest payments due and owing to such holders through December 31, 1995, prepay interest which will become due and owing at the end of the first quarter of 1996 and set up a fund with the Transfer Agent/Trustee to secure the timely payment of the principal amount of the Debentures on December 31, 1996. The Company set February 15, 1996 as the date upon which all Debenture Holders had to submit their consent forms to the Company indicating whether they agreed to extend the maturity date as to their bonds or reject such proposal. Any holder which failed to return a consent form within the prescribed time was to be treated as having consented to the extension. As of the February 15, 1996, the Company received a negative response from one holder owning $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. While the Company intended to comply with the terms of its agreements with the holders of the Debentures, a series of unforeseen circumstances relating to the Company's permits and reclamation bond caused a cash flow shortage. As a result the Company has been unable to make the payments described above. Management is hopeful that the Company's limited cash flow will improve in the near future and at such time intends to comply with the terms of its December 1995 agreements. As of March 31, 1998, the accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures is approximately $53,000. On January 17, 1997, the Company received a letter from counsel to James E. Hopis, Revocable Trust, a holder of $5000 of Debentures of the Company demanding payment of such bond immediately or legal action will be taken against the Company to collect on such Debenture. In September, 1997, certain of the Company's 12-1/4% Convertible Debenture holders, including the Hopis Trust (the "Plaintiff Debenture holders") instituted an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Company for payment on approximately $42,500 principal amount of Debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling approximately $13,000 and other costs and expenses related thereto. The Company has answered the aforesaid complaint. Thereafter, the Plaintiff Debenture holders moved for summary judgment against the Company. The Company chose not to oppose the motion and a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $42,500 plus interest, costs and disbursements (the "Judgment"). Moreover, the issue of attorney's fees were severed from the case and all to be set down for an inquest. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (11) Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued) In February, 1998, USM entered into an agreement with the Plaintiff Debenture holders agreeing to pay the Judgement plus certain additional costs in the event that the Company fails to pay the Judgment and USM consummates the Transaction with the Company. In the event that USM does not consummate the Transaction by July 12, 1998, USM agreed to pay the Plaintiff Debenture holders $5,100 for their agreement not to enter the Judgment against the Company or pursue the inquest. Plaintiff Debenture holders have agreed not to enter the Judgment against the Company until July 12, 1998 or until USM notifies them that it will not pursue the Transaction. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any termination or modification of the Agreement and believes it is in full force and effect. However, there can be no assurance that USM will not terminate this Agreement or that the Agreement will expire; the result of which will be the entering of the Judgement against the Company and a possible inquest as to the Company's liability regarding attorney's fees. The continued default and failure to comply with the 1994 and December 1995 agreements may result in Company being subject to additional legal proceedings by the Transfer Agent/Trustee under the Indenture or from other holders seeking immediate payment of the $102,500 plus related interest and penalties. While the Company hopes to cure the default or, in the alternative, reach an acceptable settlement arrangement with the holders, there can be no assurance that the funds will be available in the future to meet all of the Company's obligations. Management remains hopeful that payment or, in the alternative, commencement of settlement negotiations, will delay the commencement of any legal action until the Company can make the appropriate arrangements to repay the Debenture holders. Golder Litigation On or about February 5, 1996, Bradley, Campbell, Carney & Madsen, P.C., Colorado counsel to the Company, Gems, Zeus and Newmineco ("BCCM") entered into a contract with Golder Associates, Inc. ("Golder"), pursuant to which Golder agreed to perform certain services at the Mogul Mine pertaining to environmental issues, including, but not limited to, (a) reviewing surface and groundwater quality and compliance standards, (b) reviewing 110 permitting requirements, applications and responses, (c) reviewing certain environmental plans relating to the Mogul Mine and (d) assessing water discharge requirements and dispensing advice with respect to water discharge and surface spring outflow management and mitigation of poor drainage quality (the "Mogul Tunnel Contract"). At the time of the Mogul Tunnel Contract, BCCM allegedly entered into said contract as an agent of Durango, the lessee of the Mogul Mine at that time. On or about February 5, 1996, BCCM entered into a second contract with Golder, pursuant to which Golder agreed to perform certain services at the Franklin Mines and Franklin Mill pertaining to environmental issues, including, but not limited to, (a) phase 1 site assessment, (b) preliminary regulatory and permit review, (c) engineering site inspections, (d) designs for surface water management at the ore handling facility, (e) technical memorandum on alternatives for the extension of #5 tailings pond, (f) assistance in negotiation with the DMG and (g) recommendations for bulk ore sampling and mineralogical testing at the Franklin Mines (the "Franklin Mine Contract"). At the time of the Franklin Mines Contract, BCCM allegedly entered into said contract as an agent of the Zeus Joint Venture. On or about August 23, 1996, Gems executed a note to Golder in the aggregate principal amount of $268,683.75 and a note to BCCM in the aggregate principal amount of $109,785.35 to secure legal and engineering fees outstanding as of such date. Each note was due and payable on or before December 23, 1996 and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum. In the event that the payments of principal and interest under the notes were not paid when due, all principal and interest will accrue additional interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The notes were secured by a pledge of approximately 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by Gems, pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated August 23, 1996. Any default under the notes constituted an event of default under the Security Agreement. Gems failed to make the required payments as of December 23, 1996. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (12) Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued) On or about January 28, 1997, Golder commenced an action against BCCM, Zeus, the Company, Gems, Island, and Durango in the United States District Court of the District of Colorado to recover sums due and owing from the Defendants for breach of contract, breach of implied warranty, misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, default under the Golder note and quantum merit arising out of each of the Mogul Tunnel Contract and the Franklin Mine Contract. The Company is a named defendant to this litigation by virtue of its general partnership interest in Zeus, it being joint and severally liable with Gems and Nuco as general partners in the Joint Venture. The aggregate amount of the Golder claims are approximately $281,670.99 plus prejudgment and post judgment interest, costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) and any additional relief granted by the court, $124,159.87, exclusive of interest and other costs and expenses, of which is attributable to the Mogul Tunnel Contract and $157,511.12, exclusive of interest and other costs and expenses, of which is attributable to the Franklin Mines Contract. On or about March 12, 1997, BCCM filed a motion to dismiss counts III, IV, and V of the Complaint relating to the breach of warranty, misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation arguing that these claims were pled in the alternative and only become viable in the event other defendants in the case deny BCCM authority to enter into the subject contracts. Also on March 12, 1996, Zeus, the Company, Island and Gems moved to dismiss or stay proceedings pending arbitration arguing that arbitration clauses in the subject contract require the captioned action to be submitted to arbitration. However, Durango filed a separate answer to the Complaint denying that BCCM had any authority to enter into any contract on behalf of Durango and denying that Durango ratified any exercise of such authority. Therefore, on or about March 27, 1997, Golder moved to file an amended complaint to clarify its position that the claims against Durango are also asserted against the Franklin Defendants. The Company has not received a copy of such complaint to date. Notwithstanding, the parties, on April 4, 1997, executed a stipulation agreeing to arbitration on all issues concerning the subject contracts but excluding issues relating to the note and security agreement. The Company is currently engaged in settlement negotiations with the parties in hopes of resolving this dispute and has an agreement in principal with all of the parties. However, there can be no assurance that final settlement agreements will be executed or that the Company will be successful should this matter proceed to arbitration. The Company estimates that its portion of the liability in this matter is approximately $35,000 in the event that the settlement should be consummated. Environmental Matters As of the date hereof, the Company has no violations against it with respect to the Franklin Mines and Franklin Mill. While there are no outstanding violations against the Company at this time, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to adequately comply with the conditions set forth in its permit approval or that future violations will not arise and that such violations will not lead to interruptions in operations at the Franklin Mines or Franklin Mill. For further information regarding the Permits, see Item I, Business of the Company - Operations at the Company's Mining Properties. Durango Litigation On or about February 1, 1996, Newmineco, Island, Gems and Zeus entered into a series of Transactions with Durango, Thames Hartley, the president of Durango ("Hartley") and J. Wayne Tatman ("Tatman"), an agent of Durango and Hartley and president of Consolidated Milling, Inc. ("Consolidated Milling") to develop certain mining properties, including the Mogul Mines. For further information, see Item 1, Business of the Company-Newmineco. On or about March 1996, Island acquired the Rugg/Mogul Lease through a Novation Agreement. The Rugg/Mogul Lease was then renegotiated and assigned to Newmineco. Thereafter, Island and Gems notified the Company that Tatman, Hartley and Durango and certain other parties to the Newmineco venture breached their agreements and as a result, Island terminated certain venture agreements involving these persons. Island thereafter assigned its interest in Newmineco to Gems. For more information on the status of the Rugg/Mogul Leases, see Item 2. Properties Rugg/Mogul Leases; For more information on the relationship of the parties, see Item 1. Business-Operations at the Company's Mining Properties. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (13) Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued) In June, 1996, Durango and/or Hartley served a series of Notices of Intent to Lien properties owned or leased by each of Gems, Island and the Company, including the Gold Hill Mill. Thereafter, on or about October 15, 1996, James A. Wood and David C. Sutton, each the owner of claims located on the properties comprising the Mogul Mines (the "Delaware Claims" and the "Bonanza Claims", respectively) and Durango, as the proported lessee of such claims, commenced an action in District Court, Boulder County, Colorado, against the Ruggs, Island, Newmineco, the Company and any other unknown parties of interest to quiet title to each of the Delaware Claim and Bonanza Claims (hereinafter the "Disputed Claims"). The complaint further alleges that the defendants have removed ore mined from the Disputed Claims and that, as a result of trespass and conversion of certain equipment of Plaintiff Durango, plaintiffs have been further damaged in the amount of approximately $800,000. In addition to the actions for quiet title and for the adjudication of the ownership of the disputed Claims, Plaintiffs requisite damages for conversion of Plaintiff Durango's equipment, seeks a full accounting of the ore removed from the premises and request all other damages, costs and expenses, including attorney's fees incurred with respect to this dispute. The Company, as well as its co-defendants, retained local Colorado counsel and intend to rigorously defend this action while there are motions pending regarding the sufficiency of the defendant's pleadings, no decision has been made regarding such motions and no trial has yet been scheduled. In addition, on or about October 30, 1996, each of Com, Inc., the previous owner of the Gold Hill Mill, Gems, Island, the Company, Hayden and Kennec commenced an action against each of Durango, Hartley, Consolidated Milling and Tatman in District Court, Boulder Country, Colorado relating to the Company's properties in Boulder County claiming, among other things, that (i) all liens be removed from the public record, (ii) damages were incurred for the filing of excessive liens, together with costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection therewith, (iii) breach of contract with respect to the Newmineco venture agreement, (iv) damages incurred for loss of business opportunities and interference with plaintiff's contractual relationships and (v) defendants slandered plaintiffs title to property causing them damages. A similar complaint was also filed in Clear Creek County with respect to liens filed against the Company's properties in Clear Creek County. No counterclaims have been asserted against any of the Plaintiffs. As a result of recent motions filed on behalf of the Company in the Boulder County action, an order was entered by the Court in 1997, to discharge all liens filed against the Company's properties. The Company has been advised that the Court is expected to enter this order shortly and such order will thereafter be recorded to remove the subject liens. The Clear Creek County Court has executed an order removing the liens against the Company's Clear Creek County properties and the Company has been advised by local counsel that such order is being filed with the Clear Creek County to remove the liens from the record. Issues concerning damages suffered and defendants liability with respect thereto in each of the actions are to litigated. No trial dates have been set at this time. NASDAQ Delisting In 1996, the Commission approved certain amendments to the requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market. On February 27, 1998, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ informing the Company that the Company's Common Stock was not in compliance with the new minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 which became effective on February 23, 1998. The review of the Company's Common Stock price was based upon the price data covering the previous 30 consecutive trade dates prior to notification. The Company has been given 90 calendar days, expiring May 28, 1998, in order to regain compliance. The Company would come into compliance in the event that its Common Stock trades at or above the minimum requirement of $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trade days prior to May 28, 1998. In the event that the Company's Common Stock does not regain compliance within the 90 day period, NASDAQ will issue to the Company a formal delisting letter which will identify the review procedures available to it should the Company wish to contest the delisting of its Common Stock. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (14) Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued) Management believes that it is unlikely, given past trends, that the Company's Common Stock will sustain trading at minimum bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive trade days between now and May 28, 1998. Thus, it is likely that the Company will receive formal delisting notification and that the Company's Common Stock will no longer be listed for trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. However, Management is hopeful that the Company's Common Stock will qualify for trading on the Over-The-Counter/Bulletin Board ("OTC") market and the Company will make every effort to include its Common Stock on the OTC in the likely event of a delisting by NASDAQ. In the event that the Company's Common Stock is traded on the OTC, it may become subject to the "penny stock" trading rules. The penny stock trading rules impose additional duties and responsibilities upon broker-dealers recommends the purchase of a penny stock (by a purchaser that is not an accredited investor as defined by Rule 501(a) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act) or the sale of a penny stock. Among such duties and responsibilities, with respect to a purchaser who has not previously had an established account with the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer is required to (i) obtain information concerning the purchaser's financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives, (ii) make a reasonable determination that transactions in the penny stock are suitable for the purchaser and the purchaser (or his independent adviser in such transactions) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters and may be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of such transactions, followed by receipt of a manually signed written statement which sets forth the basis for such determination and which informs the purchaser that its unlawful to effectuate a transaction in the penny stock without first obtaining a written agreement to the transaction. Furthermore, until the purchaser becomes an established customer (i.e., having had an account with the dealer for at least one year or, the dealer had effected three sales or more of penny stocks on three or more different days involving three or more different issuers), the broker-dealer must obtain from the purchaser a written agreement to purchase the penny stock which sets forth the identity and number of shares of units of the security to be purchased prior to confirmation of the purchase. A dealer is obligated to provide certain information disclosures to the purchaser of penny stock, including (i) a generic risk disclosure document which is required to be delivered to the purchaser before the initial transaction in a penny stock, (ii) a transaction-related disclosure prior to effecting a transaction in the penny stock (i.e., confirmation of the transaction) containing bid and asked information related to the penny stock and the dealer's and salesperson's compensation (i.e., commissions, commission equivalents, markups and markdowns) connection with the transaction, and (iii) the purchaser-customer must be furnished account statements, generally on a monthly basis, which include prescribed information relating to market and price information concerning the penny stocks held in the customer's account. The penny stock trading rules do not apply to those transactions in which the broker-dealer or salesperson does not make any purchase or sale recommendation to the purchaser or seller of the penny stock. Required compliance with the penny stock trading rules affect or will affect the ability to resell the Common Stock by a holder principally because of the additional duties and responsibilities imposed upon the broker-dealers and salespersons recommending and effecting sale and purchase transactions in such securities. In addition, many broker-dealers will not effect transactions in penny stocks, except on an unsolicited basis, in order to avoid compliance with the penny stock trading rules. The penny stock trading rules consequently may materially limit or restrict the liquidity typically associated with other publicly traded equity securities. In this connection, the holder of Common Stock may be unable to obtain on resale the quoted bid price because a dealer or group of dealers may control the market in such securities and may set prices that are not based on competitive forces. Furthermore, at times there may be a lack of bid quotes which may mean that the market among dealers is not active, in which case a holder of Common Stock may be unable to sell such securities. Because market quotations in the over-the-counter market are often subjected to negotiation among dealers and often differ from the price at which transactions in securities are effected, the bid and asked quotations of the Common Stock may not be reliable. Franklin Consolidated Mining Co., Inc. Form 10-QSB/Amended For Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 (15) Item 2. Changes in Securities On May 5, 1998, the Company withdrew Registration Statement on From SB-2, File No.333-29101, which was originally filed June 10, 1997. The Company took this action as all selling shareholders became eligible to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities As of March 31,1998, the Company continues to be in default with respect to the payment of $145,000 principal amount of its 12-1/4 Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures"), which have accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of March 31, 1998 in the amount of approximately $53,000. While it remains the intention of the Company to pay its outstanding obligations with respect to the Debentures, the Company has been unable to meet its obligations to such holders as a result of unforeseen liquidity and cash flow shortages. As a result of its continued default, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings by or on behalf of debenture holders seeking payment of principal and all interest as well as any penalties and other legal remedies the holders may claim they are entitled to receive under the law. There can be no assurance that the Company will have adequate funds available to make the payments required under the December 1995 Agreements or that the commencement of legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
