PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. was incorporated October 9, 1911 as a
California corporation. It owns and operates mining claims in both Sierra
and Trinity Counties located in Northern California.
Revenue
Revenue consists of gold and silver mined during the reporting period,
either sold during the period or held in inventory. It is recorded at the
spot price per ounce on the statement date. Revenue does not include
unprocessed high-grade ore mined during the reporting period. Gold and
silver held in inventory is recorded at the spot price per ounce on the
balance sheet date.
Inventory
Inventory consists of gold bullion, dore, specimens and jewelry. Inventory
is recorded at the spot price per ounce on the balance sheet date.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is being
calculated using straight-line and accelerated methods over the following
estimated useful lives:
Vehicles 3 to 5 years
Equipment 5 to 7 years
Buildings 18 to 31.5 years
Depletion Policy
The Company has established a depletion policy for its mineral and mining
properties. Because of the geological formation in the Alleghany Mining
District, estimates of ore reserves cannot be calculated; therefore a cost
per unit depletion factor cannot be determined. Management has determined
that a straight-line method of depletion over a 25 year period would most
accurately match the estimated production of the mining properties (See
Note 2). If estimates of ore reserves become available, the units of
production method of depletion will be used.
Development
In February 1994, the Company began development of the 2483 winze into
unexplored ground. Costs associated with the development have been
capitalized.
Income Taxes
Differences exist between the amount of income or loss reported for
financial statements and income tax reporting purposes. These differences
are attributable to the use of the cash basis reporting and accelerated
depreciation and depletion methods for income tax purposes.
Net Gain or Loss Per Share
Net gain or loss per share has been computed using the common shares
outstanding at end of reporting period. The Company's stock equivalents
have been excluded from the calculation of shares outstanding.
Note 2: Mining Property
The original mining property is carried on the books at its March 1, 1913
value of $379,000 as determined for depletion purposes in connection with
Federal income taxes. This value together with the cost of mining
properties acquired in 1920 and 1924 for the aggregated sum of $145,145 has
been fully amortized through depletion charges. During 1994, the Company
purchased mining properties at a cost of $300,000, and capitalized $86,633
in legal costs. These legal costs were incurred in defense of certain
mining claims which is currently under appeal.
Note 3: Income Taxes
For Federal income tax purposes, the Company has operating loss
carryforwards which may provide future tax benefits, expiring as follows:
Year of expiration
2004 $ 82,956
2005 51,037
2006 427,513
2007 48,562
----------
$610,068

Note 4: Notes Payable
At September 30, 1995, the Company has a $20,184, 6 year secured 9.95% note
payable in connection with the acquisition of a Chevrolet Astro Van. The
note is payable in 60 monthly installments of $442.
At September 30, 1995, the Company has revolving lines of credit. The
credit lines expire June 30, 1996. The borrowing under these lines of
credit at September 30, 1995 are $69,126 and $195,732.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's mining activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, produced 6,187 ounces of gold as the Company intensified its small
block mining in areas identified as favorable for gold deposition. The
primary objective of the underground activities is to sink a four hundred
foot winze below the 2400 foot level and extend new levels at the 2600 foot
mark and the 2800 foot mark. As of September 30, 1995, the winze extends
230 feet below the 2400 foot level. The new 2600 foot level has been
extended about twenty feet southward and five feet northward from the
winze. Gold was encountered in the vein above the winze. About six ounces
were removed and no further mining took place due to the sensitive nature
of the ground around the winze. Locating this gold in the previously
undeveloped vein is very positive and encouraging.
Because of the successful production of 5,208 ounces in July, the
Company elected to undertake a variety of activities to improve or upgrade
existing facilities above and below ground. During the third quarter
extensive work was done to prepare for the winter season. The Company also
purchased $143,203 of new equipment during the quarter. As of September
30, 1995, the Company employed 30 full time people and 2 permanent part
time people.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1994.
For nine months ended September 30, 1995, revenues increased by $1,735,584
from the comparable nine months ended September 30, 1994. Production for
the first nine months was $2,424,669. The reader is reminded that Original
Sixteen to One is a high grade underground gold mine. While the vein
system is proven and has produced over 1 million ounces, it is unthinkable
to state our reserves as "proven" according to standards recognized in the
open pit gold mining industry or in low grade underground mines. During
the past four years a significant percentage of annual production has been
mined during a short period of time. For example, in 1993, over $1 million
was mined in a single day. During this quarter over $2 million was mined
in ten days. This quarterly report is an excellent example of the
difficulty of using quarterly periods for comparisons.
Total current assets increased by $955,908 as accumulated gold inventory
was hoarded. Current liabilities increased by $438,834 (deferred income
tax increases by $229,000) as lines of credit were used as cash flow tools
to minimize the amount of gold to be crushed in order to provide the bank
credits necessary to meet monthly overhead. The reason for implementing
these tools was to conserve the valuable quartz and gold inventory used to
supply the growing jewelry and specimen sales division established by the
Company in 1994.
While revenue increased $1,735,584 for the first nine months of 1995, it
should not be magnified into a significant sign or trend. As stated many
times before, the Company owns and operates an unpredictable gold deposit.
It is not particularly useful to compare quarters for gold production
analysis and assign relevance into the projection.
Liquidity And Capital Resources as of September 30, 1995
Gold production and accumulated inventory were the sources of cash during
the quarter. In order to finance the Company, inventory is sold. In the
event that gold production ceases and inventory is consumed, other
financing alternatives will be implemented to maintain the current level of
activity.
The Company throughout its 84 year history has never experienced steady or
regular gold production when measured on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually or annual basis. This situation is due to the high-grade
nature of the gold deposit in Alleghany, California. The situation is
further stressed because of the wide choices in areas to develop the mine
for future production and the many choices to conduct small block mining
for gold. Considerations for determining mining priorities include:
potential ounces of each target, set up costs, on going costs, time, impact
on the mine's infrastructure (hoisting capacity, haulage, water) and the
likelihood of little or no gold production.
Currently, miners are breaking rock in one heading that shows speckled
gold. Speckled gold ore is suitable for milling. While it does not
provide the high grade common to the mine, it is a very strong indicator
that the crew is mining in a favorable area for high grade. Another
heading also has positive indications for the recovery of high grade gold.
Management represents that these current headings may continue their
advancement as is, break into wired high grade gold or bust and be
abandoned. No other assurances or representations can be confidently
offered.
The primary target of the Company is the 2483 winze, which extends the
workings into the projected ore zone of the heart of the Sixteen to One
Mine. The projected total depth is 400 feet. At 200 feet a level was
established to open the vein along its strike. No production is anticipated
from this level until the level is extended at least two hundred feet to
the south or north and there are no assurances of when or how much
production will be derived.
Events That May Have A Material Effect On Future Operations, Liquidity and
Capital Resources.
TECHNOLOGY
The Company continues to test various technologies for underground gold
location. Should one of the technologies prove to more effectively detect
high- grade pockets beyond the Company's current capabilities, the
Company's ability to produce gold at a low cost would be enhanced.
PRICE OF GOLD
Of material effect on the Company's financial operations is the price of
gold. The Company's primary income is based upon current and future prices
of gold. A decrease in the spot price of gold per ounce will decrease
income. Conversely, an increase in the spot price per ounce increases the
Company's income. The September 30, 1995, spot price for gold was $393 per
troy ounce. The Company makes no projections on either the future price of
gold, deflation or inflation. While any decrease of the spot price of gold
is definitely a negative factor, deflation and inflation can arguably be
positive occurrences for the Company.
WORKING CAPITAL
The Company may seek to supplement its internally generated funds with
funds raised externally through a proposed registered public offering of
its common stock. Although the Company is currently in the registration
process, there is no assurance that such registration will be successfully
completed or to what extent, if any, the Company may choose to utilize such
registration.
TIMBER
In 1994, the Company filed a Timber Harvest Plan and harvested trees in
Sierra County. Receipts in 1994, were $145,000. Logging operations were
suspended due to early snow storms. The remaining acreage under the timber
harvest plan was logged in 1995. Revenue from timber sales in 1995 is
$108,304.
LACK OF PROVEN OR PROBABLE RESERVES OF COMMERCIAL ORE
The Company is engaged in production of gold, and continues to explore and
develop ore zones in the mine. While over 21,000 ounces of fine gold have
been recovered since January 1992, there are no assurances that the Company
will continue to find gold, or that if gold is found that it can be mined
at a profit. The Company has no proven (measured) reserves or probable
(indicated) reserves of gold at the mine as those terms are defined under
Federal securities regulations. However, the vein system owned and
operated by the Company has yielded over 1 million ounces of gold, thereby
establishing it as a proven gold deposit.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
All mining operations are subject to substantial governmental regulation,
including Federal, state and local regulations concerning mine safety and
environmental protection. Compliance with these regulations may cause
significant delays in the operations of the Company and substantial capital
expense. The Company believes it is currently operating in compliance with
all known safety and environmental standards and regulations. However,
amendments or additions to or future interpretations of current regulations
could have an adverse effect on the Company's mining operations.
DIVIDENDS
On August 7, 1995, the board of directors declared a special dividend of
$.05 per share to shareholders of record August 7, 1995, payable on
September 10. The common stock was ex-dividend on August 11, 1995, on the
Pacific Stock Exchange. The Company released this news on August 9, 1995.
This was the first dividend in 41 years. While the Company has a long
history of issuing dividends, the board of directors will evaluate its cash
demands, accumulated inventory and its mining activities to determine if
and when the next special dividend will be issued.
LIQUIDITY
The Company has, in the past, experienced a lack of liquidity and working
capital. Although the Company held gold inventory of over $1.7 million and
had no long term debt as of December 31, 1994, there can be no assurance
that current gold production or gold inventory can be maintained or that
the costs of mine exploration and development will not exceed revenues and
deplete current assets of the Company. Management believes that the
liquidity needs of the Company in the near term will be met from the sale
of existing inventory and the production of gold.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO MINING LAWS
Congress is currently reviewing the 1872 Mining Law which controls
unpatented mining claims. One proposal would replace the current annual
assessment work requirement ($100 per claim) with an undetermined royalty
payment. Although the Company's current production comes from patented
(rather than unpatented) claims, any future production from the Company's
unpatented mining claims may be subject to an additional royalty payment or
other costs, if revisions to the 1872 Mining Law are implemented.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
An appeal was filed by the Company in the Court of Appeal of the State of
California, Third Appellate District (case number C017890). The decision
filed on August 25, 1995, reversed the ownership of Lot 32 and reversed the
trial courts decision as it purported to declare the mining claims null and
void in their entirety.
