FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the Company’s future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the Company’s management.  Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “may,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  In addition, any statements that refer to projections of the Company’s future financial performance, the Company’s anticipated growth and potentials in its business, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.  Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified elsewhere herein and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 under “Risk Factors.”  Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

The Board of Directors

Metalline Mining Company

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Metalline Mining Company (a Nevada corporation and an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 8, 1993 (inception) to October 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Metalline Mining Company as of October 31, 2004 and 2003, the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity and it’s cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 8, 1993 (inception) to October 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

METALLINE MINING COMPANY

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Metalline Mining Company (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 8, 1993 as the Cadgie Company for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral concessions. The Cadgie Company was a spin-off from its predecessor, Precious Metal Mines, Inc.  On June 28, 1996, at a special directors meeting, the Company’s name was changed to Metalline Mining Company.  The Company’s fiscal year-end is October 31.

 

The Company expects to engage in the business of mining. The Company currently owns concessions located in a mining region known as the Sierra Mojada District that is located in the municipality of Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico.  The Company conducts its operations in Mexico through its wholly owned subsidiary corporation, Minera Metalin S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Metalin”).

 

The Company’s efforts have been concentrated in expenditures related to exploration of the concessions.  The Company has not determined whether the concessions contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.  The ultimate realization of the Company’s investment in exploration of the concessions is dependent upon the success of future concession 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.  The ultimate realization of the Company’s investment in exploration of the concessions cannot be determined at this time, and accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may result, in the event the Company is not successful in developing or selling these concessions, has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

 

The Company is actively seeking additional capital and management believes its concessions can ultimately be sold or developed to enable the Company to continue its operations. However, there are inherent uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore, the Company is in the exploration stage, as it has not realized any revenues from its planned operations.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

F/S-9



 

Accounting Method

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

 

Accounts Receivable

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost.  On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and determines if an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.

 

The Company has not yet established a policy regarding accruing interest on trade receivables. Accounts will be written off as uncollectible when it is determined that collection will be unlikely.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all bank accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts and short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Compensated Absences

The Company’s policy is to recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.  If the amount were estimatible, it would not be currently recognized as the amount would be deemed immaterial.

 

Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains its domestic cash in two commercial depository accounts.  One of these accounts is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $100,000. The other account consists of money market funds, certificates of deposit and preferred securities, all of which are not insured.  The Company also maintains cash in banks in Mexico.  These accounts, which had U.S. dollar balances of $61,616 and $40,968 at October 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively, are denominated in pesos and are considered uninsured.  Additionally, the Company maintained Mexican petty cash balances of $4,864 and $29,862 at October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  At October 31, 2004, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the federally insured amount by $1,357,926.

 

Derivative Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 133”) as amended by SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133”, and SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  They

 

F/S-10



 

require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

 

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

 

Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

 

During the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.

 

Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share.  Although there were common stock equivalents outstanding October 31, 2004 and 2003, they were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been considered anti-dilutive.  Common stock equivalents outstanding were 1,096,554 and 2,058,055 at October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 those estimates.

 

Exploration Costs

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company expenses exploration costs as incurred.  Exploration costs expensed during the year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were $3,374,049 and $74,553, respectively.  The exploration costs expensed during the Company’s exploration stage amount to $3,667,202.

 

F/S-11



 

Exploration Stage Activities

The Company has been in the exploration stage since November 8, 1993 and has no revenues from operations.  The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of concessions.  Should the Company locate a commercially minable reserve, the Company would expect to actively prepare the site for extraction.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, advances to employees, 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 October 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period.  Exchange differences arising on translation are disclosed as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the results of operations.

 

Foreign Operations

The accompanying balance sheet at October 31, 2004 contains Company assets in Mexico, including:  $4,334,767 in concessions; $507,257 (before accumulated depreciation) of mining equipment; and $66,480 of cash.  Although this country is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.  The Mexican government does not require foreign entities to maintain cash reserves in Mexico.

 

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has incurred a net loss of $5,036,805 for the year ended October 31, 2004 and has an accumulated deficit of $13,319,638.  These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

The Company’s management believes that significant and imminent private placements of stock and continuing contracted agreements will generate sufficient cash for the Company to continue to operate based on current expense projections. The Company is currently operating on the cash proceeds of a private placement offering completed in the second quarter of the year ended October 31, 2004.

 

F/S-12



 

Marketable Securities

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, the Company classifies marketable securities as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.  During the year ended October 31, 2004, the Company purchased $1,250,000 in various preferred equity securities and has classified them as available-for-sale.  The Company did not incur unrealized gains or losses related to its available-for-sale securities during the year ended October 31, 2004.

 

Concessions

Costs of acquiring concessions are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated concessions.  Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred.  When a concession reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.

 

Concessions are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value is charged to operations at the time of impairment.  Should a concession be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.  The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to concessions sold.  Capitalized costs are allocated to concessions abandoned or sold based on the proportion of concessions abandoned or sold to the concessions remaining within the project area.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.  The wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is listed in Note 1.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful life of the assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is determined using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the expected useful lives of the assets.  See Note 3.

 

Provision for Taxes

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 109”).  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 SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

 

F/S-13



 

At October 31, 2004, the Company had net deferred tax assets calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $4,000,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes.  As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, there is a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset.

 

The significant components of the deferred tax assets at October 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

At October 31, 2004, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,800,000, which expire in the years 2008 through 2024.  The Company has recognized approximately $1,483,000 of losses from the issuance of stock options and warrants for services through fiscal 2004, which were not deductible for tax purposes.  The change in the allowance account from October 31, 2003 to 2004 was $1,700,000. The Company has immaterial temporary differences resulting from differences in tax depreciation of equipment.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153.  This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets.  The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.  This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date of this statement is issued.  Management believes the adoption of this statement will not impact the financial statements of the Company.

 

F/S-14



 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, which amends SFAS Statement No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.”  This statement also amends SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects,” to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects, does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions.  The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2.  This statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  Management believes the adoption of this Statement will not impact the financial statements of the Company.

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Costs— an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 151”).  This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  Under some circumstances, SFAS No. 151 mandates that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs be recognized as current-period charges.  In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  Management believes the adoption of this statement will not have immediate material impact on the financial statements of the Company, as the Company maintains no inventory.

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 150”). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Previously, many of those instruments were classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  Management believes the adoption of this Statement will not impact the financial statements of the Company.

 

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 149”). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in

 

F/S-15



 

other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue when there is a mutually executed contract, the contract price is fixed and determinable, delivery of the product has occurred, and collectibility of the contract price is considered probable.  As of October 31, 2004, the Company has not recognized revenues.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 123”), defines a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments.  The Company has adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.

 

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are five to seven years for equipment, and 39 years for buildings.  The following is a summary of property, equipment, and accumulated depreciation at October 31, 2004 and 2003:

Depreciation expense for the years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 was $63,045 and $42,833, respectively.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.  The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Replacements and betterments are capitalized.  The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

 

NOTE 4 – PROPERTIES—CONCESSIONS

 

Sierra Mojada Mining District Concessions

During the period of August 23, 1996 to July 18, 2000, the Company executed six separate agreements for the acquisition of eight concessions in the mining region known as the Sierra Mojada District located in Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico.  Each agreement enabled the Company to explore the underlying concession in consideration for the payment of stipulated annual payments.  Each of the concession agreements included an option to purchase the concession and the annual payments were applied in full toward the contracted purchase price of the related concession.

 

The Company subsequently completed the purchase of the eight concessions, as follows:  Esmeralda, consisting of approximately 118 hectares, on March 20, 1997; Fortuna, consisting of approximately 14 hectares, on December 8, 1999; Sierra Mojada and Mojada 3, consisting of approximately 4,767 and 1,689 hectares, respectively, on May 30, 2000; Unificacion Mineros Nortenos and Vulcano, consisting of approximately 337 and 4 hectares, respectively, on August 30, 2000; Esmeralda I, consisting of approximately 98 hectares, on August 20, 2001; and La Blanca, consisting of approximately 34 hectares, on August 20, 2001.  The Company has recorded the concessions at acquisition cost.

 

All of the concessions were acquired by purchase agreements with Mexican entities and/or Mexican individuals and all of the concessions were paid for in cash.  In the acquisition of Sierra Mojada and Mojada 3 there was one purchase agreement for both concessions.  Also, in the acquisition of Unificacion Mineros Nortenos and Vulcano, there was one purchase agreement for both concessions.

 

Because all eight concessions are located in the Sierra Mojada Mining District and in close proximity to one another, the concessions are routinely treated as one major prospect area and are collectively referred to as the Sierra Mojada Project.  The primary work performed on the Company’s concessions has consisted of geologic mapping, sampling, and drilling.  This work has resulted in establishing the presence of mineralized material (zinc) of sufficient quantity and grade to justify in the Company’s opinion a feasibility study (which commenced in 2005, subsequent to the Company’s October 31, 2004 fiscal year end).
