MINERAL MOUNTAIN MINING & MILLING COMPANY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2017
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Mineral Mountain Mining and Milling Company (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 4, 1932 and is publicly held. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of mining and exploring for non-ferrous and precious metals, primarily silver, lead and copper. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Nomadic Gold Mines, Inc. an Alaska corporation and Lander Gold Mines, Inc. a Wyoming corporation. The Company currently holds 36 claim blocks in Alaska, through its subsidiary, Nomadic Gold Mines, Inc.
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2017. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein includes all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2018
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mineral Mountain Mining & Milling Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The above unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2017.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2018.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments as defined by ASC 825-10-50, include cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
The standards under ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
7 |
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company had mineral leases of $232,318 measured at fair value at December 31, 2017.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative operating losses since inception. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve its objectives and attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations. As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,343,029. The Company’s working capital is $5,974.
Achievement of the Company’s objectives will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing, to generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and to effectively control operating and capital costs.
The Company plans to fund its future operations by potential sales of its common stock or by issuing debt securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under the approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by ASC 740-10-25-5 to allow recognition of such an asset. See Note 5.
NOTE 3 – MINING CLAIMS AND LAND

NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK
Upon formation the authorized capital of the Company was 2,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.05, in 1953 the Company increased the authorized capital to 3,000,000 shares of common stock, in 1985 the authorized capital was again increased to 10,000,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by ASC 740-10-25-5.
Topic 740 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740) prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company had taken no tax positions that would require disclosure under ASC 740.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Idaho. The Company is currently in arrears in filing their federal and tax returns, both jurisdictions statute of limitations of three years does not begin until the tax returns are filed.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the deferred tax assets at an anticipated tax rate of 34% for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 are as follows:
December 31, 2017 | September 30, 2017 | |||||||
Net operating loss carryforwards | 2,343,029 | 2,282,645 | ||||||
Deferred tax asset | 796,630 | 776,099 | ||||||
Valuation allowance for deferred asset | (796,630 | ) | (776,099 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | — | — |
At December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,343,029 and $2,282,645 which will begin to expire in the year 2031. The change in the allowance account from September 30, 2017 to December 31, 2017 was $20,531.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those statements. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our management’s current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25, 2018.
Company Goals and Objectives
Mineral Mountain currently has leases and staked claims at two properties, the Iditarod Gold Project in Flat, Alaska and Lewiston, in Fremont County, Wyoming near the South Pass. Flat is Alaska’s third largest placer gold district. Mineral Mountain, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Nomadic Gold Mines, Inc., has leases on thirty claim blocks and has separately staked thirty-six claims adjacent thereto. All of the property is on State of Alaska land.
Mineral Mountain also has two leases through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lander Gold Mines, Inc., near Lewiston, Wyoming. In total, it has leases on twenty-two claim blocks (six patented and sixteen unpatented). Aside from the six patented claims, the remainder of the leased claims includes land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The leased claims are within close proximity to a permitted mill available for processing on a per ton basis.
The Company’s goals are: (i) to develop both properties; (ii) to position the Company for a possible acquisition by a major mining company, and (iii) to pursue other business opportunities both related and unrelated to our existing mining activities. In the event that the Company seeks to pursue new business opportunities unrelated to our existing activities, any such efforts will be with the view of hopefully generating cash flow from operations, which our existing mining activities have not accomplished. The short-term goal is to raise funds privately for the immediate development of the Hidden Hand Mine, one of the patented claim blocks the Company leases on the Wyoming property. We estimate that the budget for doing so is $1,804,000; $1,573,000 of that would be for development costs and $231,000 of that would be for operating costs. To the extent commercial mineralization is located and exploited, any resulting profits would then be invested in the development of the Iditarod Gold Project. The two year operational budget for that Project is expected to amount to $2,970,000.
Overview
Mineral Mountain is an early stage mineral exploration company. Our primary expenditures at this stage consist of payment of various governmental fees to maintain the priority of our unpatented mining claims, payment of our debt service, payment of exploration services, payment of accounting and legal fees, and general office expenses.
Mineral Mountain’s losses for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $60,384. The loss is due primarily to: general and administrative expenses of $44,757 and legal and professional fees of $14,325
Mineral Mountain’s primary, near term business objective is to raise sufficient capital to retain Mineral Mountain’s current mineral properties, to explore them and acquire additional projects, to pay general and administrative expenses, and to pursue other business opportunities both related and unrelated to our existing mining activities. In the event that the Company seeks to pursue new business opportunities unrelated to our existing activities, any such efforts will be with the view of hopefully generating cash flow from operations, which our existing mining activities have not accomplished.
Mineral Mountain has budgeted approximately $300,000 for the year ending September 30, 2018 to cover Mineral Mountain’s accounting and legal fees and general and administrative expenses. Mineral Mountain also estimates that approximately $250,000 (including lease and claim payments and contractually required work commitments) will be required to fund our operations for the next 12 months assuming minimal exploration activities and excluding the cost of acquisitions.
Mineral Mountain has substantial operational commitments to fund in order to maintain Mineral Mountain’s land holdings. This includes work commitments and lease payment obligations of $5,240,000 over the course of eight years to maintain the Lease Agreement and Option to Purchase for the State of Alaska claims previously described in this document.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity included cash received from sales of our common stock. We intend to raise new capital in the form of new equity or debt to further advance objectives. Net cash used by operating activities totaled $61,282 for the three month period ending December 31, 2017 Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $131,500 for the three month period ending December 31, 2017.
Because Mineral Mountain does not anticipate earning revenues from mining operations in the near future, Mineral Mountain must seek additional financing from the public or private debt or equity markets to continue to protect Mineral Mountain’s properties and to continue exploring and acquiring additional projects. Further, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to Mineral Mountain.
As reflected in our accompanying financial statements, we have limited cash, negative working capital, no revenues and an accumulated deficit of $2,343,029 at December 31, 2017. These factors indicate that we may be unable to continue in existence in the absence of receiving additional funding. In addition to our operating expenses which average approximately $40,000 per month, management’s plans for the next twelve months include approximately $2,500,000 of cash expenditures for exploration activity on the Iditarod and Wyoming properties. However, we are actively seeking additional capital. We believe that we will generate sufficient cash from a public or private debt or equity financing in order for the Company to continue to operate based on current expense projections. Nevertheless, we are unable to provide assurances that it will be successful in obtaining sufficient sources of capital. If we fail to raise the necessary funds to continue operations we might be required to significantly reduce the scope or completely cease our operations.
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 compared with Three Months Ended December 31, 2016
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $60,384 compared to net loss of $58,337 for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Operating expenses of $59,082 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 included general and administrative fees of $44,757 and professional fees of $14,325. Operating expenses of $58,337 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 consist of general and administrative expense of $58,337.
Revenues
We recorded no revenues for either the three months ended December 31, 2017 or the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Although we continue to engage in negotiations regarding mineral leasing arrangements, pursue a carefully focused development program, and conduct other activities intended to eventually produce operational revenue in the future, no revenue was recognizable for the periods presented.
General and Administrative Expenses
Total general and administrative expenses decreased to $44,757 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $58,337 for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current assets were $76,626 at December 31, 2017. Working capital was $5,974 as of December 31, 2017. We believe we have the ability to manage our expenses while we invest in growing our top line and therefore believe that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of this filing.

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $61,282 for three months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $58,337 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $131,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $19,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Contractual Obligations
Other than lease obligations stated above, as of December 31, 2017, we have debts owed of approximately:
☐ | $8,750 to John J Ryan, the son of Mineral Mountain’s Vice President; and |
☐ | $51,902.16 to Premium Exploration (USA), Inc., a Nevada corporation. Premium Exploration is a company of which Mr. Ryan is President and is also in the mineral exploration and development business. |
In total, we borrowed $65,000 from Mr. Ryan and entities or his affiliates of which $57,000 in principal is outstanding. This amount bears interest at a rate between 5% and 10% per annum.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid, and do not anticipate declaring or paying, any cash dividends on any of our capital stock. We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future, and we currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and to finance the growth and development of our business. Future determinations as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our operating results, financial condition, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. Our loan agreements limit our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments on account of our common stock, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not undertaken any off-balance sheet transactions or arrangements. We have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017, included elsewhere in this document.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets revenue recognition, and establishing the fair value of its investments.

Recent Developments
In the one year since Mr. Karasik has taken over as CEO and Chairman, the Company has made significant strides forward. An advantageous lease was executed for the Gyorvary Property, and the Company acquired through its wholly owned subsidiary additional claims at the Lewiston, Wyoming site. The Company is actively pursuing the staking of additional property adjacent to the Gyorvary Property. Significantly, the Company’s financial obligations for calendar year 2018 have been substantially reduced from what they were in the audited period. The Company has also improved its position in part by raising, during Mr. Karasik’s brief tenure, more than $400,000 in an ongoing private offering and the Company gained listing on the OTCQB exchange.
The Company entered into an equity line of credit purchase agreement, dated as of October 1, 2018 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Crown Bridge Partners, LLC, 1173a 2nd Avenue, Suite 126, New York, NY 10065 (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to the Investors shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), in an amount up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Put Shares”), in accordance with the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to register with the SEC the following shares of Common Stock: (1) 8,000,000 Put Shares to be issued to the Investors upon purchase from the Company by the Investors from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement; (2) 1,428,571 shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company to the Investors as a commitment fee pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement; and (3) the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, of even date with the Equity Purchase Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Put Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to the resale of the Put Shares.
The net proceeds of the revolving credit line will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include (i) acquisitions, (ii) refinancing or repayment of indebtedness, (iii) capital expenditures and working capital, (iv) investing in equipment and property development (which may include funding associated with exploration), and (v) pursuing other business opportunities both related and unrelated to our existing mining activities. In the event that we seek to pursue new business opportunities unrelated to our existing activities using proceeds from the Equity Purchase Agreement, or from other sources, whether through debt or equity, of which there can be no assurance, we may be required to engage the services of third-parties to assist us in pursuing any potential new opportunities. Any such efforts will be with the view of hopefully generating cash flow from operations, which our existing mining activities have not accomplished.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2017, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
The management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on this assessment, management determined that, during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, our internal controls and procedures require additional improvement due to deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls. Management identified the following areas of improvement in internal controls over financial reporting:
17 |
1. The Company had limited segregation of duties, which is not consistent with good internal control procedures.
2. The Company did not have a written internal control procedurals manual which outlines the duties and reporting requirements of the Directors and any staff to be hired in the future. This lack of a written internal control procedurals manual does not meet the requirements of the SEC or good internal controls.
3. The Company should improve maintenance and access to a centralized location for current and historical business records.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
We are not currently a party to nor are we aware of any threatened or ongoing legal proceedings against the Company. Nonetheless, it is possible that from time to time in the ordinary course of business we may be involved in legal proceedings or investigations, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business and financial condition and divert the attention of our management from the operation of our business. However, we are not aware of any such legal proceedings or investigations and, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
