New Jersey Mining Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of New Jersey Mining Company (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture (“NJMJV”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The portion of entities owned by other investors is presented as non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Gold Revenue Recognition and Receivables-Sales of gold sold directly to customers are recorded as revenues and receivables upon completion of the performance obligations and transfer of control of the product to the customer. For concentrate sales, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price can be reasonably estimated, and revenue is recognized generally at the time of shipment at estimated forward prices for the anticipated month of settlement. Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the customer and the final settlement with the customer, prices at which sales of our concentrates will be settled are estimated. Previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the customer. For sales of dore’ and metals from doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer by the refiner.

Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges by the customer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated with the customers. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by customers include fixed costs per ton of concentrate and price escalators. Refining, selling and shipping costs related to sales of doré and metals from doré are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. See Note 4 for more information on our sales of products.

Other Revenue Recognition-Revenue from harvest of raw timber is recognized when the performance obligation under a contract and transfer of control have both been completed. Sales of timber found on the Company’s mineral properties are not a part of normal operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of full cost of production or estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices. Costs consist of mining, transportation, and milling costs including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to the operations. Costs are allocated based on the stage at which the ore is in the production process. Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.

Fair Value Measurements

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period that are included in earnings are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company determined they had no assets or liabilities that required measurement at fair value on a recurring basis.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.The Company and Significant Accounting Policies, Continued 

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 financial statement presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss), stockholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported.

New Accounting Pronouncement

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modified the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this update as of January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update involves simplification of several aspects of accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include nonemployee awards. The update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this update as of January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update removes, modifies and makes additions to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s fair value measurement disclosures.

2.Going Concern 

The Company is currently producing from both the open-pit and underground at the Golden Chest Mine. In early March 2019, the Company increase production by 40% as more ore became available from the open pit and underground which is expected to improve cash flows from operations. In the past, the Company has been successful in raising required capital from sale of common stock, forward gold contracts, and additional debt. As a result of its planned production, equity sales and ability to restructure debt, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.

3. Inventories 

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s inventories consisted of the following:

At June 30, 2019, gold concentrate inventory is carried at allocated production costs as it is lower than estimated net realizable value based on current metal prices.

4. Sales of Products 

Our products consist of both gold floatation concentrates which we sell to a broker (H&H Metal), and an unrefined gold-silver product known as doré which we sell to a precious metal refinery. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the performance obligations and transfer of control of the product to the customer, and the transaction price can be determined or reasonably estimated.

For gold flotation concentrate sales, the performance obligation is met when the transaction price can be reasonably estimated and revenue is recognized generally at the time when risk is transferred to H&H Metal based on contractual terms. Based on contractual terms, we have determined the performance obligation is met and title is transferred to H&H Metal when the Company receives its first provisional payment on the concentrate because, at that time, 1) legal title is transferred to the customer, 2) the customer has accepted the concentrate lot and obtained the ability to realize all of the benefits from the product, 3) the concentrate content specifications are known, have been communicated to H&H Metal, and H&H Metal has the significant risks and rewards of ownership to it, 4) it is very unlikely a concentrate will be rejected by H&H Metal upon physical receipt, and 5) we have the right to payment for the concentrate. Concentrates lots that have been sold are held at our mill from 30 to 60 days, until H&H Metal provides shipping instructions.

4. Sales of Products, continued 

Judgment is required in identifying the performance obligations for our concentrate sales. We have determined that the individual performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when control of the concentrate is transferred to H&H Metal which is when H&H Metal pays us the first provisional payment on the concentrate based on contractual terms.

Our concentrate sales sometimes involve variable consideration, as they can be subject to changes in metals prices between the time of shipment and their final settlement. However, we are able to reasonably estimate the transaction price for the concentrate sales at the time of shipment using forward prices for the estimated month of settlement, and previously recorded sales and accounts receivable are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement for financial reporting purposes. Also, it is unlikely a significant reversal of revenue for any one concentrate lot will occur. As such, we use the expected value method to price the concentrate until the final settlement date occurs, at which time the final transaction price is known. At June 30, 2019, metals contained in concentrates and exposed to future price changes totaled 1,507 ounces of gold.

Sales and accounts receivable for concentrate shipments are recorded net of charges for treatment and other charges negotiated by us with H&H Metal, which represent components of the transaction price. Charges are estimated by us upon transfer of risk of the concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from our estimates. Costs charged by the customer include fixed treatment, refining and costs per ton of concentrate and may include penalty charges for arsenic, lead and zinc content above a negotiated baseline as well as excessive moisture.

For sales of metals from doré, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer.

Sales of products by metal for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our gold sales receivable balance related to contracts with customers of $202,898 and $74,673, respectively, consist only of amounts due from H&H Metal. There is no allowance for doubtful accounts.

We have determined our contracts do not include a significant financing component. For doré sales, payment is received at the time the performance obligation is satisfied. Consideration for concentrate sales is variable, and we receive payment for a significant portion of the estimated value of concentrate parcels at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

We do not incur significant costs to obtain contracts, nor costs to fulfill contracts which are not addressed by other standards. Therefore, we have not recognized an asset for such costs as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

6. Joint Ventures 

New Jersey Mill Joint Venture Agreement

The Company owns 65% of the New Jersey Mill Joint Venture and has significant influence in its operations. Thus the venture is included in the consolidated financial statements along with presentation of the non-controlling interest. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, an account receivable existed with Crescent Silver, LLC, the other joint venture participant (“Crescent”), for $2,424 and $2,051, respectively, for shared operating costs as defined in the JV agreement.

Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”)

On January 29, 2016, the Company purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV, LLC (“BHJV”) from Timberline Resources Corporation for $225,000 in cash and 3,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $210,000 for a total consideration of $435,000. Highland Mining, LLC (“Highland”) is the other 50% owner and manager of the joint venture. Under the agreement, Highland will fund all future project exploration and mine development costs. The agreement stipulates that Highland is manager of BHJV and will manage BHJV until such time as all mine development costs, less $2 million are distributed to Highland out of the proceeds from future mine production. The Company has determined that because it does not currently have significant influence over the joint venture’s activities, it accounts for its investment on a cost basis. The Company purchased the interest in the BHJV to provide additional opportunities for exploration and development and expand the Company’s mineral property portfolio.

7.Earnings per Share 

For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2019, all outstanding stock options (Note 12) and warrants (Note 11) were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive due to net losses in those periods. For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2018 basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding–basic and diluted, respectively. The calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding–diluted includes the following common stock equivalents:

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation

New Jersey Mining Company is a gold producer focused on diversifying and building its asset base and cash flows through a portfolio of mineral properties located in historic producing gold districts in Idaho and Montana.

The Company’s plan of operation is to generate positive cash flow, while reducing debt and growing its production and asset base over time while being mindful of corporate overhead. The Companies management is focused on utilizing its in-house skills to build a portfolio of producing mines and milling operations with a primary focus on gold and secondary focus on silver and base metals.

The Company’s properties include: the Golden Chest Mine (currently in production), the New Jersey Mill (majority ownership interest), and a 50% carried to production interest in the past producing Butte Highlands Mine located in Montana. In addition to its producing and near-term production projects, New Jersey Mining Company has additional exploration prospects, including the McKinley and Eastern Star located in Central Idaho, and additional holdings near the Golden Chest in the Murray Gold Belt.

Highlights during the second quarter of 2019 include:

 For the quarter ending June 30, 2019 approximately 13,329 dry metric tonnes (dmt) were processed at the Company’s New Jersey mill at a head grade of 3.22 grams per tonne (gpt) with gold recovery of 86.81%. Gold sales for the quarter were 1,228 ounces. 

Open pit mining progressed from the 1009 bench to the 1003 bench. The trend of lower stripping ratios in the open pit continued during the second quarter as the Skookum shoot was fully exposed in the pit. Open pit mine production averaged 1,150 tonnes per day (mineralized material and waste). 

Underground mining focused on the completion of mining the 857 stope along with mining of the 848 stope. Backfilling of the 848 north stope was completed during the quarter and the addition of the Cat AD22 haultruck provided a substantial increase in the backfilling rate that reduced the time required to fill the stope by one-half. 

The Company completed a column leaching test that indicated that heap leaching of lower grade oxide material at the Golden Chest could substantially enhance the economics of possible future mining of the property. An oxidized sample of quartzitic footwall material collected in the pit with a head grade of 1.19 gpt Au achieved 88% gold recovery in 11 days in the laboratory test. 

Results of Operations

Our financial performance during the quarter is summarized below:

The Company had a gross profit for the three and six month periods ending June 30 2019 of $77,535 and $137,464 compared to a gross loss of $613,408 and $606,796 for the comparable periods in 2018. Gross profit increased as a result of improved grade from the open pit and increased production from the underground operations. 

Revenue was $1,547,654 and $2,692,328 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2019 compared to $489,555 and $1,590,946 for the comparable periods of 2018. This was also a result of improved grade from the open pit and increased production from the underground operations.

As a result of its planned production, equity sales and ability to restructure debt, management believes cash flows from operations and existing cash are sufficient to conduct planned operations and meet contractual obligations for the next 12 months.

Specifically, the Company’s corporate governance and disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that required reports were timely and accurately reported in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
