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 a gold mine in
Alleghany, California; currently on maintenance-only status. 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).
Inventory: Inventory consists of gold bullion, specimens and jewelry. Gold
bullion and specimens are quoted at the market price for gold bullion. (PM
London Fix on the last day of the quarter.) The quarterly valuation adjustment
to inventory is recorded as an expense when the value decreases and as revenue
when the value increases and is combined with Gold Sales Revenue on the
Condensed Income Statement. This serves the dual purpose of fairly presenting
the value of the gold inventory on the balance sheet and adjusts Cost of Goods
Sold to the spot gold price. Jewelry is quoted at the market price for the
gold content plus labor cost. Gold Bullion and jewelry are accounted for using
the FIFO method. Specimens are 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.
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, 2009 and December 31,
2008, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month & nine-month
periods ended Sept. 30, 2009 and 2008. 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 Company's 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, 2009:
Inventory decreased by $270,315 (43%) and Notes Due Related parties decreased
by $357,045 (57%) as a long-time creditor of the Company exchanged his debt for
gold. The Company has an option to buy back the material. Additionally a
portion of Notes Due Related parties was moved to Accounts Payable and Accrued
Expenses. This was done to separate Michael Miller's accrued wages, from his
loans to the company.
Mineral property decreased by $143,263 (20%) due to the removal of the
unpatented mining claims from the Company's balance sheet.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Gold & jewelry sales for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2009 increased
by $56,149 (265%) compared to the same period in 2008 due to the change in the
value of the gold inventory based on the spot price of gold for the three-
months ended Sept. 30, 2008 combined with relatively low sales. A decrease of
$32,642 was recorded which exceeded the three-month revenue of $11,435
resulting in negative net revenue for that period. For the three-month
period ended Sept. 30, 2009 the valuation adjustment was a decrease of $20,323.
The valuation adjustment serves the dual purpose of correcting the booked
value of inventory as well as adjusting the cost of goods sold to reflect
actual gold prices.
Changes in the Company's operating expenses are reflected as follows:
For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2009 operating expenses decreased
by $16,455 (22%) compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to a
decrease adjustment in accrued property tax expense related to the disposition
of the mining claims.
For the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2009 operating expenses decreased
by $122,068 (38%) due to the adjustment to accrued expenses explained above
as well as legal fees booked in 2008 related to the lawsuit with the California
District Attorney Association. (See 2008 reports for details).
Other expenses increased by $49,224 (285%) for the three-month period
and increased by $137,037 (160%) for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30,
2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 primarily due to the loss
of $143,263 recorded as a result of the write-off of the Company's mining
claims in 2009.
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
In July the Company and its president were served a complaint for damages in
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Sierra by the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region. Both defendants
filed an answer on August 20, 2009 denying that the state is entitled to any
damages. A case management hearing is scheduled for January 5, 2010. The case
number is: No. 7019.
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, 2009.
