Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2018 (Restated and as Filed in the Company’s Form S-1/A, Dated March 1, 2019)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Mineral Mountain Mining & 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 66 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, 2018. 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, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2019.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (RESTATED)
This summary of significant accounting policies of Mineral Mountain Mining & Milling Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s 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 United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018.
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
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little of no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company has convertible debt of $5,351 measured at fair value at December 31, 2018.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative operating losses since inception. As of December 31, 2018, 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 $3,327,276. The Company’s working capital deficit is $188,240.
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 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 9.
NOTE 3 - RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In November 2018, information came to the attention of Company management that led it to investigate whether one of the Company’s property and mineral leases, its Alaska Mineral Lease, qualified for early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, resulting in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability in accordance with ASC 842, was the absolute best accounting practice or whether the scope exception applied and the lease payments should have been expensed as incurred in accordance with the scope exception of ASC 842. Company management concluded on February 14, 2019 and notified the Board that a portion of its financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements. Company management further concluded that the Company could properly early adopt ASC 842, but that we determined the scope exception applied and that it should account for the Alaska Mineral Lease payments as expenses as incurred pursuant to the scope exception of ASC 842. On February 15, 2019, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”), concurred with these conclusions and that the financial statements should be amended to reflect this change, including in the financial statements for the quarter ending December 31, 2018.
The Company determined that it had made an error in how it implemented ASU No. 2016-02, Leases as it relates to the Alaska Mineral Lease and Option to Purchase. The ASU-842-10-15 scope exception states that the topic does not apply to “Leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas, and similar nonregenerative resources. This includes rights to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained (that is, unless those rights of use include more than the right to explore for natural resources), but not equipment used to explore for the natural resources.” The Company believed that there was an infrastructure asset present on the Company’s leased property in the form of unpaved roads and an exclusive right to use that infrastructure pursuant to the terms of the Alaska Mineral Lease that met the requirement that the lease include more that the right to explore for natural resources. Company Management has since determined that this infrastructure asset may not meet that criteria, and as a result the Company has restated the accompanying financial statements to reflect this change.
The effects of the adjustments on the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 5 – EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2018 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (the “Crown Bridge”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue to Crown Bridge 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 “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 Company intends to use the proceeds of the revolving credit line 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.
NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT
On or about November 27, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note with Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”) for the principal sum of $63,000.00, together with interest, with a maturity date of November 27, 2019. The Company agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of 12%per annum from the date thereof until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment. Power Up has the right at any time during the period beginning 180 days following the date of the Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The conversion price shall be equal to the Variable Conversion Price, which is 58% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 42%), in which Market Price is the average of the lowest two (2) Trading Prices for the Company’s Common Stock during the preceding 15 trading day period prior to the Conversion Date. The Company paid $3,000 as a fee which is recorded as a debt discount and being amortized over the life of the loan.
The conversion feature of the note represents an embedded derivative. A derivative liability with an intrinsic value of $0.1770 was $131,158 using a binomial pricing model and was calculated as a discount to the note. That amount is recorded as a new contra-note payable amount (similar to the recorded OID and transaction costs and amounts discussed immediately below), but only for an amount not in excess of and thus capped by the otherwise undiscounted amount of the note payable. Because of the derivative nature of the $131,158 valuation of the conversion feature, $71,158 is recorded as an expense in the current period and reported as a loss on issuance of convertible debt.
NOTE 7 – 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, and in 2014 the Company increased the authorized capital to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.10.
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 5,760,000 shares of common stock for cash of $224,100; 1,275,000 shares of common stock for cash of $55,000 that were unissued as of September 30, 2018; 300,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $45,500; and 500,000 shares of common stock for reimbursement of mineral claim fees. Additionally, 280,000 warrants were issued for directors fees at an exercise price of $0.02 and a term of two years. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black Scholes Option Price Calculation. The following assumptions were made to value the warrants on the date of issuance: strike price of $0.02, risk free interest rate of 1.99%, expected life of two years, and expected volatility of 495.28%. The fair value of the warrants totaled $39,194 at the issuance date and this amount was recorded as equity. Also during the period 60,000 options were exercised at a price of $.02 for cash in the amount of $1200.00
During the three month period ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 2,650,000 shares of common stock for cash of $119,000; 1,275,000 shares that were paid for but unissued as of September 30, 2018; 200,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $50,000; 110,000 shares for directors’ fees valued at $22,000; and 4,000,000 shares for settlement of accumulated officers’ fees valued at $80,000.
Additionally, in 2016, former management of the Company negotiated a contract with M6 Limited, a stock promotion company, in which M6 would collectively receive an advanced payment of 4.3 million shares of Company common stock for certain promotional services. M6 itself received 2 million shares, an affiliated company, Maximum Harvest LLC, received 1.3 million shares and an affiliate of M6, Hahn M. Nguyen, received 1 million shares. In 2018, current management determined that it was not in the best interest of the Company to pursue the services and therefore terminated the contract with M6. The 4.3 million shares of common stock have been rescinded and, with the consent of M6, the process for the physical return of the shares is near completion.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (RESTATED)
On or about October 1, 2018, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (see Note 4 above for a discussion of this Agreement), and on or about November 27, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note with Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Power Up”) for the principal sum of $63,000.00 (see Note 5 above for a discussion of this Agreement).
Pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution dated November 8, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to investigate and negotiate a merger with Newco, two newly formed corporate entities with unrelated businesses. The investigation is continuing and negotiations for a proposed merger have not commenced.
Pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution dated December 13, 2018, the Company was authorized to renew the contract with Peter Papasavas of Papasavas Law Group, LLC to act as outside general counsel to provide legal services for a flat fee of one million shares issued upon an agreed upon date and the payment of a retainer in the amount of $10,000 in January 2019, and an additional nine (9) monthly installments of $5,000.
In November 2018, information came to the attention of Company management that led it to investigate whether one of the Company’s property and mineral leases, its Alaska Mineral Lease, qualified for early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, resulting in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease liability in accordance with ASC 842, was the absolute best accounting practice or whether the scope exception applied and the lease payments should have been expensed as incurred in accordance with the scope exception of ASC 842. Company management concluded on February 14, 2019 and notified the Board that a portion of its financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements. Company management further concluded that the Company could properly early adopt ASC 842, but that we determined the scope exception applied and that it should account for the Alaska Mineral Lease payments as expenses as incurred pursuant to the scope exception of ASC 842. On February 15, 2019, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”), concurred with these conclusions and that the financial statements should be amended to reflect this change, including in the financial statements for the quarter ending December 31, 2019. See Note 3.
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued. Based on our evaluation no other material events have occurred that require disclosure.
