NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 exploration and production 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.
Inventory is accounted for using the Average Cost method due to the limitations
of the Company's accounting software. Valuation adjustments to account for
changes in the price of gold are made quarterly.
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 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 Sept. 30, 2017 and December 31,
2016, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2016 and 2017. 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.
ITEM 2. 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
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 classify the
ore underground. This has the positive affect of reducing the volume of rock
from the mine, thereby reducing costs. Maps and reports comprise a valuable
tool for evaluating present and future mining operations.
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". By industry
wide definition of phases of a mine operation, the operation during this
quarter is exploration. Exploration aims at locating the presence of economic
deposits and establishing their nature, shape and grade. The investigation may
be divided into (1) initial and (2) final. At the Sixteen to one the search for
gold or ore embraces: (1) geological surveys; (2) geophysical prospecting; (3)
boreholes; (4) surface or underground headings, drifts or tunnels. When
operations detect the presence of gold, the Company evaluates the indicators
and if warranted, moves its operation from exploration to development. When the
presence of gold is evaluated, the Company moves its operation into production.
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.
Our crew began a tough but significant project last December: reestablish the
49 WINZE for mining. (WINZE is a vertical opening driven downward connecting
two or more levels in a mine). Crumpled stairs and ground support, failed
electrical switches, transformers and wire, dilapidated compressed air and
water lines faced the miners. The 49 WINZE, access to the southern levels (of
the underground), is a vital component of mining. It became a victim of
depreciated gold prices over a decade ago. The task seemed an overwhelming
head ache to even think about its rejuvenation; but we did think about it and
decided to risk last year's profit here. Why is our future tied with the 49
WINZE project?
The Company has two new gold detectors with proven successes of identifying
gold in quartz previously undetected with older models. Our miners stopped
working in the deep levels due to uncontrollable economic changes. It was not
the absence of gold. Multiple areas with visible gold targets were left that
are now below the water. Our current inventory provides the capital to open
those levels for mining. The 49 WINZE also satisfies federal requirements for
a second exit for miners.
The crew worked every quarter this year to reestablish safe access (ground
support) in the winze, Utilities are in place (compressed air, water,
communications) from the 800 foot level to the 1700 foot level. Stairs or
ladders are also in place. Simultaneously, the water level is continuously
lowering. It is between the 1700 and 1900 level. Predictions are difficult
with this type of work; however it is likely the crew will reach the 1900 foot
level this year.
Last year besides mining gold and maintaining or repairing infrastructure,
regulatory drama was a factor. It has lessened. A more common sense approach
regarding federal MSHA inspectors is noticed. Tools of reason and common sense
played a part. MSHA took notice that the requirements for an inspector have
been ignored and determined as "unlawful". California's misguided water public
servants may soon recognize similar facts regarding the overreach by its
Prosecution Team of lawyers. Regulating government agencies have cost us
dearly in time and money.
California is nationally known for its environmental hostilities towards
business. The mineral and timber extraction business became easy targets. Our
operation does zero environmental/public harm, zero. Sixteen to One water has
minerals naturally because the entire watershed and Kanaka Creek are
mineralized. Water passing through our property has no adverse effect on any
beneficial use downstream. Outright reckless enforcement by some Californian
public servants may be shifting towards reason. Top water consultants are
working with regulators to fix some problems.
BALANCE SHEET COMPARISONS
For the nine-month period from December 31, 2016 to Sept. 30, 2017 total
assets decreased by 21% primarily due to a 58% decrease in Accounts Receivable
and a 26% decrease in inventory. The corresponding revenue from these
decreases was used to fund operations.
For the same nine-month period related party payables decreased by 13%.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2017 were 39% lower than
the same period in 2016 primarily due to no gold production in 2017.
Revenues for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 2017 compared to the same
period in 2016 were 68% lower due to the lack of gold production in 2017
and lower sales of existing inventory in 2017 compared to 2016.
Operating expenses for the three-month period ended Sept 30,2017 were similar
to the same period in 2016.
Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended Sept 30,2017 decreased by
17% compared to the same period in 2016 due to a smaller work-force in 2017.
For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2017 the company showed a loss of
$136,927 compared to a loss of $102,023 for the same period in 2016. The
34% difference is due to lower gold sales in 2017. For the nine-month
period ended Sept. 30, 2017 the company showed a loss of $344,748 compared to a
loss of $27,842 for the same period in 2016. The 1,138% difference is
primarily due to the sale of less inventory in 2017 compared to 2016.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
From time to time the Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. (the Company), will
make written and oral forward-looking statements about matters that involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from projected results. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially include, among others:
- Fluctuations in the market prices of gold
- General domestic and international economic and political
conditions
- Unexpected geological conditions or rock stability conditions
resulting in cave-ins, flooding, rock-bursts or rock slides
- Difficulties associated with managing complex operations in remote areas
- Unanticipated milling and other processing problems
- The speculative nature of mineral exploration
- Environmental risks
- Changes in laws and government regulations, including those
relating to taxes and the environment
- The availability and timing of receipt of necessary governmental
permits and approval relating to operations, expansion of operations,
and financing of operations
- Fluctuations in interest rates and other adverse financial market conditions
- Other unanticipated difficulties in obtaining necessary financing with
specifications or expectations
- Labor relations
- Accidents
- Unusual weather or operating conditions
- Force majeure events
- Other risk factors described from time to time in the Original Sixteen to One
Mine, Inc., filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Many of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update its
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of receiving new information,
the occurrence of future events or otherwise.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
See notes to financial statements.
PART II
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company filed a petition for review with the United States court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit, accepted July 12, 2016. File number is: No. 16-72349.
Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. (operator) and its miners (WE) have been
adversely affected by an order of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review
Commission (FMSHRC) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977,
Public Law 91-173 (ACT). WE ask for a review of such order in your court in
our district, the Ninth Circuit. WE pray that the order be modified or set
aside as allowed in Sec.106. (a)(1) of the ACT.
Citations were written outside of the law specified in SEC 4 under the heading,
MINES SUBJECT TO ACT: Each coal or other mine, the products of which enter
commerce, or the operations or products of which affect commerce, and each
operator of such mine, and every miner in such mine shall be subject to the
provisions of the ACT.
The Secretary of Labor is designated to carry out the intents by Congress of
ACT, SEC. 2. Congress declares the importance of our most precious resource
the miner. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) was established
to carryout CFR 30 Mineral Resources and issue citations. During the public
hearing for citations, MSHA placed no supportive testimony to refute its
position that Plumbago meets the requirement for regulations under ACT. No
case rulings to support the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) or FMSHRC decisions
are entered into the record.
While there are instances where SEC. 4. language was challenged by
an operator and the challenge fails, there are no cases or situations that
resemble Plumbago. WE entered over eighty pages of testimony supporting our
position, including the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court
regarding the Affordable Care Act and its effect on interstate commerce.The
argument that at one time, Plumbago was a mine and affected commerce, has
merit.
The argument that the operation at Plumbago meets the requirement of SEC. 4.
during recent times has no standing. MSHA actions followed by the ALJ and
FMSHRC, violates the intent of Congress as written in ACT.
This important law must be honestly enforced in its entirety, not through a
selective interpretational process. This behavior must be severed, not the law
but its abuse. Only the Judicial Branch remains to protect the American miner
from extinction by overreaching power. The Legislative Branch held numerous
public meeting in the 1970s on the subject of mining health and safety in the
industry. Congress passed a law for the Executive Branch to implement. Over a
span of 39 years regulators have drifted away from its stated purposes. WE
pray for relief and support from the Judicial Branch to return the course of
health and safety to the most endangered species in America, the underground
gold miner.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
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.
ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY
None
ITEM 3 DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None
ITEM 4 MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 NO citations under Section
104(a) S&S, 104(b) Orders or 104 (d) S&S Citations Section 110 (b)(2)
Violations or Section 107 (a) Orders were issued.
A total of two citations were issued during the three-month period ended Sept
30, 2017. The total proposed penalties on these four citations is $984
These citations are being contested.
ITEM 5 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-Q.
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 Sept.
30, 2017.
