Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete 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 financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Certain consolidated financial statement amounts for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income (loss) or cash flows or accumulated deficit as previously reported.

Going Concern Consideration

At September 30, 2017, our financial statements show that we have a negative working capital of approximately $2.14 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $26.1 million. In addition, we have incurred losses for the prior three years. These factors indicate that there may be doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

During the past twelve months, the price of antimony has increased from a low of $3.07 per pound for the third quarter of 2016 to an average price of $4.25 for the third quarter of 2017. We have gross profit and a positive cash flow from our U.S. operations at this price. Our operations in Mexico are still in a transitional phase since the loss of our raw material supply from Hillgrove of Australia. We are focusing our production at our Wadley mine to increase grade and output, and we have recently seen ore from there assaying 50% antimony. We are also trying new production techniques, and have found that we can process direct shipping ore successfully at our Madero smelter which will result in a reduction in our operating costs in Mexico going forward.

We have reduced costs at our Mexico locations, most notably a reduced monthly lease payment of $11,600 for the Wadley mine from $23,200 for June 2016, and we have also reduced the cost for labor at the same mine. We have reduced administrative costs by approximately $81,000 from the prior year third quarter at the corporate level. Our capital outlay should be minimal in the near future; and we completed paying for the Los Juarez mining concessions in 2016 which were a major outlay in prior years.

Our zeolite operations continue to operate profitably and provide cash to our operations. We are aggressively seeking new markets for our zeolite products, and we now have an outside sales staff that is working to obtain new customers and have had some success.

We believe that the combination of the above will enable us to stay in operation and meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months and further.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company's common stock and convertible preferred stock. Management has determined that the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, is not applicable since any additions to outstanding shares related to common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

	September 30, 2017	September 30, 2016
Warrants	250,000	250,000
Convertible preferred stock	1,751,005	1,751,005
Total possible dilution	2,001,005	2,001,005

Inventories:

Inventories at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of finished antimony products, antimony metal, antimony ore, and finished zeolite products that are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or estimated net realizable value. Finished antimony products, antimony metal and finished zeolite products costs include raw materials, direct labor and processing facility overhead costs and freight. Inventory at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, is as follows:

	September 30,	December 31,
	2017	2016
Antimony Metal	$ -	$ 112,300
Antimony Oxide	452,871	326,126
Antimony Concentrates	19,017	30,815
Antimony Ore	151,841	181,815
Total antimony	623,729	651,056
Zeolite	316,151	204,581
	$ 939,880	$ 855,637

Accounts Receivable and Due to Factor:

The Company factors designated trade receivables pursuant to a factoring agreement with LSQ Funding Group L.C., an unrelated factor (the “Factor”). The agreement specifies that eligible trade receivables are factored with recourse. We submit selected trade receivables to the factor, and receive 83% of the face value of the receivable by wire transfer. The Factor withholds 15% as retainage and 2% as a servicing fee. Upon payment by the customer, we receive the remainder of the amount due from the factor. The 2% servicing fee is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations in the period of sale to the factor. John Lawrence, CEO, is a personal guarantor of the amount due to Factor.

Trade receivables assigned to the Factor are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Under the terms of the recourse provision, the Company is required to reimburse the Factor, upon demand, for factored receivables that are not paid on time. Accordingly, these receivables are accounted for as a secured financing arrangement and not as a sale of financial assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s regular evaluation of individual customer’s receivables and consideration of a customer’s financial condition and credit history. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts.

We present the receivables, net of allowances, as current assets and we present the amount potentially due to the Factor as a secured financing in current liabilities.

Accounts Receivble	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Accounts receivable - non factored	$ 332,660	$ 401,720
Accounts receivable - factored with recourse	163,737	150,399
Accounts receivable - net	$ 496,397	$ 552,119

Commitments and Contingencies:

In June of 2013, the Company entered into a lease to mine antimony ore from concessions located in the Wadley Mining district in Mexico. The lease calls for a mandatory term of one year and, as of September 30, 2017, requires payments of $10,000 plus a tax of $1,600 per month. The lease is renewable each year with a 15 day notice to the lessor, and agreement of terms. The lease is scheduled for renewal in June 2018.

Hillgrove Advances Payable

On November 7, 2014, the Company entered into a loan and processing agreement with Hillgrove Mines Pty Ltd of Australia (Hillgrove) by which Hillgrove will advance the Company funds to be used to expand their smelter in Madero, Mexico, and in Thompson Falls, Montana, so that they may process antimony and gold concentrates produced by Hillgrove’s mine in Australia. The agreement requires that the Company construct equipment so that it can process approximately 200 metric tons of concentrate initially shipped by Hillgrove, with a provision so that the Company may expand to process more than that. The parties agreed that the equipment will be owned by USAC and USAMSA. The final terms of when the repayment takes place have not yet been agreed on. The agreement called for the Company to sell the final product for Hillgrove, and Hillgrove to have approval rights of the customers for their products. The agreement allows the Company to recover its operating costs as approved by Hillgrove, and to charge a 7.5% processing fee and a 2.0% sales commission. The initial term of the agreement is five years; however, Hillgrove may suspend or terminate the agreement at its discretion. The Company may terminate the agreement and begin using the furnaces for their own production if Hillgrove fails to recommence shipments within 365 days of a suspension notice. At September 30, 2017, the net amount due to Hillgrove for advances was $1,134,196. As of September 30, 2107, repayment of the advances is not expected to occur within the next twelve months so the balance is classified as a long term liability.

Related Party Transactions:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Chairman of the audit committee and compensation committee received $4,500 and $9,000, and $4,500 and $18,000, respectively, for services performed. See Note 12 for shares of common stock issued to directors.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $2,715 and $8,989, and $2,480 and $11,310, respectively, to John Lawrence, President and Chief Executive Officer, as reimbursement for equipment used by the Company.

11.

Income Taxes:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined that a valuation allowance equal to 100% of any deferred tax asset was appropriate, as management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefit of a net deferred tax asset. The net effect is that the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016, and any deferred tax assets that may have been incurred since then, are fully reserved for at September 30, 2017.

Management estimates the effective tax rate at 0% for the current year.

In 2015, the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) initiated an audit of the USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In October 2016, as a result of its audit, SAT assessed the Company $13.8 million pesos, which was approximately $666,400 in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as of December 31, 2016. Approximately $285,000 USD of the total assessment is interest and penalties. SAT’s assessment is based on the disallowance of specific costs that the Company deducted on the 2013 USAMSA income tax return. These disallowed costs were incurred by the Company for USAMSA’s business operations. SAT claims that the costs were not deductible or were not supported by appropriate documentation. At September 30, 2017, the assessed amount is $746,000 in U.S dollars.

Income Taxes, Continued:

Management has reviewed the assessment notice from SAT and believes numerous findings have no merit. The Company has engaged accountants and tax attorneys in Mexico to defend its position. An appeal has been filed.

At December 31, 2016, management estimated possible outcomes for this assessment and believes it will ultimately pay an amount ranging from 30% of the total assessment to the total assessed amount. The Company’s agreement with the tax professionals is that the professionals will receive 30% of the amount of tax relief they are able to achieve.

At December 31, 2016, the Company accrued a potential liability of $410,510 USD of which $285,048 was for unpaid income taxes, $75,510 was for interest expense, and $49,952 was for penalties. The amount accrued represents management’s best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be paid. The outcome could vary from this estimate. At September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a $49,000 increase due to the change in exchange rate. Fluctuation in exchange rates has an ongoing impact on the amount the Company will pay in U.S. dollars.

If an issue addressed during the SAT audit is resolved in a manner inconsistent with management expectations, the Company will adjust its net operating loss carryforward, or accrue any additional penalties, interest, and tax associated with the audit. The Company’s tax professionals in Mexico have reviewed and filed tax returns with the SAT for 2014, 2015, and 2016, and have advised the Company that they do not expect the Company to have a tax liability for those years relating to similar issues.

Business Segments:

The Company is currently organized and managed by four segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony operations, Mexican antimony operations, precious metals recovery and United States zeolite operations.

The Madero smelter and Puerto Blanco mill at the Company’s Mexico operation brings antimony up to an intermediate stage, which is typically sold directly or shipped to the United States operation for finishing and sales at the Thompson Falls, Montana plant. The precious metals recovery plant is operated in conjunction with the antimony processing plant at Thompson Falls, Montana. The Zeolite operation produces Zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all of the sales of products from the United States antimony and Zeolite operations are to customers in the United States.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, continued:

The Mexico non-production costs for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017, are primarily due to holding costs from inactivity at the Los Juarez, Guadalupe, and Soyatal mines and the Puerto Blanco mill. The loss of production at the Madero smelter from transitioning to Mexican raw material due to the closing of the Hillgrove mine in Australia and the subsequent loss of Hillgrove raw material contributed to non-production costs during the nine months ending September 30, 2017.

Company-Wide

For the third quarter of 2017, we recognized a net loss of $262,565 on sales of $2,369,713, compared to a net loss of $797,057 in the third quarter of 2016 on sales of $2,846,699. This is a decrease in the loss for the period of 67%, and is significant progress in a corporate turnaround. For the nine month period ending September 30, 2017, we incurred a net loss of $670,823 on sales of $7,827,525, compared to a net loss of $1,142,333 for the same period in 2016, a decrease of 41%. The loss in the third quarter of 2017 and the nine months then ended was primarily due to the loss of raw material from Hillgrove Mines of Australia. We also recognized approximately $124,732 of settlement costs related to our precious metals production during the first quarter of 2017, and we incurred a foreign exchange loss of $49,000 through nine months related to our Mexican tax liability. Hillgrove has given us permission to use the furnaces financed by them and that were dedicated to processing Hillgrove concentrates.

Depreciation and amortization for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2017, was $207,175 and $637,225, respectively.

The loss for the third quarter of 2017 included $51,310 in non-production costs in Mexico (holding costs for non-producing Mexican properties), compared to $156,489 for the same period in 2016.

For the third quarter of 2017, EBITDA was a negative $55,390, compared to a negative EBITDA of $175,292 for the same period of 2016.

For the third quarter of 2017, the general and administrative expenses were $228,185 compared to $309,832 for the same period of 2016.

Antimony

We began the mining and processing of ore from our own Mexican mines during Q1of 2017. Producing from our own Mexican mines will allow the Company to benefit from 100% of the price increases rather than a processing fee and a small percent of the price increases.

The sale of antimony during Q3 2017 was 422,391 pounds compared to 658,915 pounds during the same period in 2016.

The sale of antimony during the first nine months of 2017 was 1,474,597 pounds compared to sales of 2,304,559 pounds for the same period of 2016.

The average sales price of antimony during Q3 2017 was $4.25 per pound compared to $3.07 during the same period in 2016, an increase of 38%.

The average sale price of antimony during the first nine months of 2017 was $3.97 compared to $2.87 for the same period of 2016, an increase of 38%.

The decrease in production was offset by higher sales prices and better margins on production from our own mined ore.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial, continued:

The metallurgical problems with the Los Juarez ore have been solved, and we are processing the ore presently in inventory. As soon as we are permitted, we will complete construction of our leach circuit at the Puerto Blanco mill.

At the Wadley mine, production is being increased with more miners. The use of pneumatic hammers is planned in lieu of explosives. Wadley is our main producer of Mexican ore with some 90 men underground. The tonnage and grade is being increased, and some of the ore contains up to 50 percent antimony.

Powder magazines are being built at the Soyatal mine. We will use the Los Juarez explosives license to mine direct shipping ore for smelter feed at Madero.

The access road to Guadalupe is being repaired to re-start production.

A 400 ton mill test of Los Juarez ore has indicated the necessity of a cyanide leach circuit for the mill tailings. With the leach circuit, the estimated gross value of the ore will be approximately $125.00 at current precious metal prices.

Production changes at the Madero smelter have cut the costs and increased recovery.

Precious Metals

The caustic leach of flotation concentrates from Los Juarez was successful, and 400 metric tons were run during the second quarter of 2017 that indicate that a cyanide leach circuit is necessary to increase the recoveries of precious metals from mill tailings.

Bear River Zeolite (BRZ)

During Q3 2017, BRZ sold 2,671 tons of zeolite compared to 3,375 tons in the same period of 2016, down 704 tons (20%). The decrease in tonnage was due to required maintenance.

We realized a net income of $132,859 from zeolite sales in Q3 of 2017, compared to $105,604 for the same period in 2016. The increase in the profit from our zeolite operations was $27,255 (25%). The increase in profit was attributable to better plant efficiency. We realized net income of $348,488 from zeolite sales during the first nine months of 2017, compared to $235,912 for the same period in 2016. The increase in the profit from our zeolite operations was $112,576 (48%) and was attributable to better plant efficiency.

We realized an EBITDA from zeolite sales for Q3 2017 of $183,059, compared to $159,004 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $24,055 (15%). We realized an EBITDA from zeolite sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $498,488, compared to $395,912 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $102,576 (26%).

Our new sales program for zeolite products has two field representatives and a research person that prepares sales brochures and literature. At this time this effort is adding new customers. Increased production at our zeolite plant will enable us to provide timely product deliveries to our customers.

Our net working capital at September 30, 2017, has decreased by approximately $451,000 from December 31, 2016. The decrease in our net working capital was primarily due to an increase in various categories of liabilities, and expenditures of approximately $280,000 for capital outlay. We have estimated commitments of $50,000 for construction and improvements to finish building and installing precious metals leach circuits. We believe that with our current cash balance, along with the future cash flow from operations, we have adequate liquid assets to meet these commitments and service our debt for the next twelve months. We have lines of credit of $202,000 which have been drawn down by $103,026 at September 30, 2017. We have a foreign value added tax refund receivable in Mexico of $365,120 at September 30, 2017. We believe that this refund will be adequate to offset the amount ultimately paid on the Mexican tax assessment (see Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2017. It was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures and, as a result of those weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017. These material weaknesses are as follows:

●

Inadequate design of internal control over the preparation of the financial statements and financial reporting processes;

●

Inadequate monitoring of internal controls over significant accounts and processes including controls associated with domestic and Mexican subsidiary operations and the period-end financial reporting process; and

●

The absence of proper segregation of duties within significant processes and ineffective controls over management oversight, including antifraud programs and controls.

We are aware of these material weaknesses and will develop procedures to ensure that independent review of material transactions is performed. The chief financial officer will develop internal control measures to mitigate the lack of inadequate documentation of controls and the monitoring of internal controls over significant accounts and processes including controls associated with the period-ending reporting processes, and to mitigate the segregation of duties within significant accounts and processes and the absence of controls over management oversight, including antifraud programs and controls.

We plan to consult with independent experts when complex transactions are entered into.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no significant changes made to internal controls over financial reporting for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 .
