PART I



ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS



(a)

Business Development



The Registrant was incorporated in the State of Washington in 1927.  Historically, the Registrant was engaged in the mineral exploration business.  The Company was dormant for a number of years during which time management did not think that the business climate for successfully financing mineral exploration was a viable option. In 2004, given the increase in precious metals prices and a more favorable environment for financing mineral exploration the Company embarked on a business plan to again become active in mineral exploration.  In March 2005 the Company completed two private placements with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $650,000.  In April, 2005 management contracted with two consultants to assist the Company in identifying and evaluating mineral exploration properties.



(b)

Business of Issuer



The Company intends to engage in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties, primarily those containing precious and associated base metals. At the present time the Company has no properties.  The Registrant has contracted with consultants to assist in the acquisition and evaluation of mineral exploration properties



Competition



There is aggressive competition within the minerals industry to discover and acquire properties considered to have commercial potential.  The Company competes for the opportunity to participate in promising exploration projects with other entities, many of which have greater resources than the Company.  In addition, the Company will compete with others in efforts to obtain financing to explore and develop mineral properties.



Employees



The Company has no employees. For the foreseeable future the Company intends to utilize the services of consultants to conduct its business operations.



Regulation



The Companys planned mineral exploration activities in the United States are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, labor standards, occupational health and mine safety, control of toxic substances, and other matters involving environmental protection and taxation.  It is possible that future changes in these laws or regulations could have a significant impact on the Companys business, causing those activities to be economically reevaluated at that time.



Risk Factors



The following risk factors together with other information set forth in this Form 10-KSB, should be carefully considered by current and future investors in the Companys securities.





2





---



No Earnings and Minimal Assets



The Company has had no earnings from operations. The Company has no significant assets or financial resources.  As a mineral exploration company, the Company will sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues.  This will result in the Company incurring net operating losses that will increase continuously until the Company can bring a property into production or lease, joint venture or sell any property it may acquire.



No Exploration Properties



The Company has no interest in any properties on which to conduct mineral exploration.



Risks Inherent in the Mining Industry



Mineral exploration and development is highly speculative and capital intensive.  Most exploration efforts are not successful, in that they do not result in the discovery of mineralization of sufficient quantity or quality to be profitably mined.  The operations of the Company are also indirectly subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to developing and operating mining properties.  These risks include insufficient reserves, fluctuations in production costs that may make mining of reserves uneconomic; significant environmental and other regulatory restrictions; labor disputes; geological problems; failure of pit walls or dams; force majeure events; and the risk of injury to persons, property or the environment.



Uncertainty of Reserves and Mineralization Estimates



There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating proven and probable reserves and mineralization, including many factors beyond the control of the Company.  The estimation of reserves and mineralization is a subjective process and the accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.  Results of drilling, metallurgical testing, production, and the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may justify revision of such estimates.  No assurances can be given that the volume and grade of reserves recovered and rates of production will not be less than anticipated.  Assumptions about prices are subject to greater uncertainty and metals prices have fluctuated widely in the past.  Declines in the market price of base or precious metals also may render reserves or mineralization containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit.  Changes in operating and capital costs and other factors including, but not limited to, short-term operating factors such as the need for sequential development of mineral bodies and the processing of new or different mineral grades, may materially and adversely affect reserves.



Fluctuations in the Market Price of Minerals



The profitability of mining operations is directly related to the market price of the metals being mined.  The market price of base and precious metals such as copper, gold and silver fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of any mining company.  These factors include expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the exchange rates of the dollar and other currencies, interest rates, global or regional political, economic or banking crises, and a number of other factors.  If the market prices of the mineral commodities the Company plans to explore decline, this will have a negative effect on the availability of financing for the Company. The volatility in metals prices is illustrated by the quarterly average price ranges from 2001 to 2004 for the following minerals: Gold (oz.) $256.25 - $433.87;  Silver (oz.) $4.24 - $7.23; Copper (lb.) $0.67 - $1.41.  Average gold and silver prices are from LME, and average copper prices are from COMEX.

Environmental Risks



Mining is subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production.  Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price.  To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.



Our Exploration Programs Will Probably Not Result in a Commercial Mining Operation



Mineral exploration and development involve significant risks because few properties that are explored contain mineral bodies that would be commercially economic to develop into producing mines.



We May Not Have Sufficient Funds to Complete Further Exploration Programs



We have limited financial resources, do not generate operating revenue, and must finance our exploration activity by other means.  We do not know whether additional funding will be available for further exploration of our projects.  If we fail to obtain additional financing, we will have to delay or cancel further exploration of our properties and we could lose all of our interest in our properties.



We Would Need Additional Funds to Develop Any Mineral Deposits for Commercial Production



If our exploration programs successfully locate an economic ore body, additional funds will be required to place it into commercial production.  Substantial expenditures would be required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metals from the ore and to construct the mining and processing facilities at any site chosen for mining.  We do  not know whether additional financing will be available at all or on acceptable terms.  If additional financing is not available, we may have to postpone the development of, or sell, the property.



Factors Beyond Our Control May Determine Whether Any Mineral Deposits We Discover Are Sufficiently Economic To Be Developed Into A Mine



The determination of whether mineral deposits are economic is affected by numerous factors beyond our control.  These factors include market fluctuations for precious metals, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, and government regulations as to governing prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.



Our Reserve Calculations Rely On Estimates That Cannot Be Confirmed Until The Ore Is Mined



In carrying on our mineral exploration activities, and making determinations about whether to proceed to the next stage of development, we must rely upon estimated calculations as to the ore mineralization and corresponding ore grades on our properties.  Until ore is actually mined and processed, ore mineralization and ore grade must be considered as estimates only.  Any material changes in ore mineralization estimates and ore grades will affect the economic viability of the placing of a property into production and a propertys return on capital.



4





---





Properties May Be Subject To Uncertain Title



The ownership and validity, or title, of unpatented mining claims are often uncertain and may be contested.  A successful claim contesting our title to a property will cause us to lose our rights to mine that property.  This could result in our not being compensated for our prior expenditures relating to the property.



Mineral Exploration And Mining Activities Require Compliance With A Broad Range Of Law And Regulation Violation Of Which Can Be Costly



Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to national and local laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, experts, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety.  In order to comply, we may be required to make capital and operating expenditures or to close an operation until a particular problem is remedied.  In addition, if our activities violate any such laws and regulations, we may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage, and may be fined if convicted of an offense under such legislation.



Land Reclamation Requirements For Exploration Properties May Be Burdensome



Although variable, depending on location and the governing authority, land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, as well as companies with mining operations, in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance.  Reclamation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and to reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation.  In order to carry out reclamation obligations imposed on us in connection with our mineral exploration, we must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration programs.



We Face Industry Competition For The Acquisition Of Mining Properties And The Recruitment And Retention Of Qualified Personnel



We compete with other mineral exploration and mining companies, many of which have greater financial resources than us or are further in their development, for the acquisition of mineral claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.  If we require and are unsuccessful in acquiring additional mineral properties or personnel, we will not be able to grow at the rate we desire, or at all.



Some Directors And Officers May Have Conflicts Of Interest As A Result Of Their Involvement With Other Natural Resource Companies



Some of our directors and officers are directors or officers of other natural resource or mining-related companies.  These associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time.  As a result of these conflicts of interest, we may miss the opportunity to participate in certain transactions, which may have a material, adverse effect on our financial position.



5





---





Permitting



In the ordinary course of business, mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for expansion of existing operations or for the commencement of new operations. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions and often involving public hearings and costly undertakings on our part.  The duration and success of our efforts to obtain permits are contingent upon many variables not within our control. Obtaining environmental protection permits, including the approval of reclamation plans, may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority.  There can be no assurance that all necessary permits will be obtained and, if obtained, that the costs involved will not exceed those that we previously estimated.  It is possible that the costs and delays associated with the compliance with such standards and regulations could become such that we would not proceed with the development or operation of a mine or mines.

(c)

Dividends



To the management's knowledge, the Registrant has never paid a dividend.  There is no plan to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.



(d)

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans



The Board of Directors has adopted a Stock Option Plan (Plan). The purpose of the Plan is to give the Company greater ability to attract, retain, and motivate its officers and key employees and  is intended to provide the Company with the ability to provide incentives more directly linked to the success of the Company's business and increases in Shareholder value.



Options issuable pursuant to the Plan may be either incentive stock options (ISOs) for employees (pursuant to Internal Revenue code § 422) or non qualified Stock options (NSOs).  In general, ISOs have favorable tax consequences to employees.  Assuming that shares are purchased and held for the requisite period, employees will be taxed at the capital gain rates on sale of shares received under the plan. The time at which taxes must be paid on exercise of an ISO is deferred until sale of the underlying shares. The following is a list of some of the characteristics of ISOs:



7





---





·

Eligible: only employees;

·

Additional Limits:  must be granted pursuant to an option plan, which must be approved by the shareholders within 12 months of adoption;

·

Exercise Price must be at least fair market value (FMV) (110% of FMV if employee owns more than 10% of corporation);

·

Termination of Employment: exercise must be within 3 months of termination of employment;

·

Option Term:  cannot exceed 10 years (5 years if employee owns more than 10% of the corporation);

·

Restrictions on Amounts for Vesting: not more than $100,000 of stock can vest in any calendar year (determined at the date of grant); and

·

Holding:  if stock is sold within 1 year of exercise of 2 years of date of grant, option will be taxed much like a NSO.



The maximum number of shares available for issue pursuant to the stock option plan adopted by the Company is currently set at 3,000,000 shares. At April 1, 2005, there were 30,000 options issued pursuant to the Plan. No options may be exercised until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders.



In addition to meeting the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as an incentive stock option, the Plan also meets the requirements of Rule 16(b)-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Officers and directors of a corporation that has adopted an employee stock option plan that meets the requirements of Rule 16(b)-3 may undertake transactions pursuant to the plan without short-swing profit liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934.



Options are exercisable for a maximum of fifteen (15) years (ten years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option).  Transferability is prohibited except for limited circumstances regarding the demise of an Optionee.



The option exercise price for Incentive Stock Options may be no less than the fair market value on the date of grant of the Option, except that the exercise price for any ten percent (10%) shareholder must be 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.  The option price for the NSOs is the lowest allowable price under applicable law.



(e)

Unregistered Sales



On March 23, 2005 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Hunt Family Limited Partnership, a Washington Limited Partnership (HFLP). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement HFLP purchased 7,722,066 shares of Metaline common stock or 51.48% of the total authorized shares of Metaline The purchase price of the shares was $0.065 per share which resulted in gross proceeds of $501,934.29 to the Company. In addition HFLP was granted warrants, exercisable for a period of 5 years, for the purchase of an additional 15,444,132 shares of Metaline common stock at a price of $0.065 per share, if and when the capitalization of the Company is increased.  There was no commission paid, directly or indirectly, to any person in conjunction with the Stock Purchase Agreement. The sale was made pursuant to a Section 4(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.



On March 28, 2005 the Company completed a private placement of 1,500,000 special warrants at a price of $0.10 per special warrant.  Each special warrant shall automatically be converted into one share of the Companys common stock upon the increase of the Companys capitalization sufficient to permit the conversion of the warrants. In the event that the special warrants have not been converted on or before July 30, 2005 the warrant holders may, but are not required to, rescind their purchase without penalty to the Company. The private placement was made pursuant to a Regulation D Rule 506 exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The special warrants were offered and sold to a total of six investors, all of whom are accredited investors. There was no commission paid, directly or indirectly, to any person in conjunction with the sale of the special warrants. The Company received gross proceeds of $150,000 from the offering.



ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN

OF OPERATION



Plan of Operation



During 2004, the Companys only revenue was dividend and interest income in the amount of $3,567.  This represents a decrease of income of approximately $6,828 over the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease is due to the fact that the Company had $580,000 less cash on hand during the year ended December 31, 2004 than during the year ended December 31, 2003 due primarily to a decrease of cash and cash equivalents from money spent on a stock repurchase and operations and lower interest rates available for the cash and temporary cash investments.



The Company intends to engage in the exploration, development, and if warranted, the mining of properties containing silver, gold, and associated base metals.  The Company no interest in  any properties on which it intends to conduct mineral exploration. The Company has engaged the services of two consultants to assist in the identification of mineral properties for possible acquisition. For the foreseeable future the Company anticipates that it will continue to utilize the services of consultants to effect its business. The Company has adequate financial resources to meet its anticipated expenses for the next twelve months.

Metaline Mining & Leasing Company

Notes to Financial Statements



NOTE 1  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:



Organization:



Metaline Mining & Leasing Company (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Washington in 1927.  Although it has previously been engaged in mineral exploration and continues to hold interests in mineral exploration properties, the Company currently has no active business operations.  The Company is currently seeking to acquire an interest in a business opportunity.



Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:



a.

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term cash investments that have an initial maturity of 90 days or less.



b.

The Companys marketable securities are stated at estimated fair value at the balance-sheet dates and unrealized losses are reported in stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.  All such securities are considered to be available-for-sale.  Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.  Investments in coins (gold Krugerrands and silver rounds) are stated at fair value.



c.

The Company capitalizes acquisition and exploration costs on nonoperating mining properties and mineral rights for accounting and income tax purposes.  Upon commencement of operations, the capitalized costs will be amortized based on proven or probable reserves by the unit of production method so that each unit produced is assigned a pro rata portion of the unamortized acquisition costs.



d.

Capitalized costs are charged to operations as impairment losses when title to the property has expired or when management believes the properties are not economically feasible to develop or hold for future development.



e.

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the years (approximately 7,277,934 in 2004 and 2003).  Diluted income per share was the same as basic earnings per share for the years presented.



f.

Deferred income tax is provided for differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting.  A deferred tax asset, subject to a valuation allowance, is recognized for estimated future tax benefits of tax-basis operating losses being carried forward.



g.

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 disclosures 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.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in three financial institutions.  Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000 per institution.  Balances on deposit may occasionally exceed FDIC insured amounts.



NOTE 6  PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK:



In December 2003, the Company and a majority stockholder entered into and closed a transaction whereby the stockholder sold 7,277,734 shares of the Companys common stock to the Company for an aggregate share price of $575,000.  The stockholder, who previously held 50% of the Companys outstanding stock, now holds 100 shares of the Companys common stock.

NOTE 7  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:



Subsequent to year end December 31, 2004, the Company entered into and completed an agreement to sell 7,722,066 shares of common stock to an entity controlled by a family group.  The shares represent 51.48% of the authorized and issued common stock of the Company.  The Company received proceeds of $501,934 related to the transaction.  In connection with the transaction, the Company issued warrants to acquire an additional 15,444,132 shares of common stock at a price of $0.065 per share, if and when the capitalization of the Company is increased.



Additionally, subsequent to year end December 31, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of 1,500,000 special warrants at a price of $0.10 per special warrant.  Each special warrant shall automatically be converted into one share of the Companys common stock upon the increase of the Companys capitalization sufficient to permit the conversion of the warrants. In the event that the special warrants have not been converted on or before July 30, 2005 the warrant holders may, but are not required to, rescind their purchase without penalty to the Company.  The private placement was made pursuant to a Regulation D Rule 506 exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The special warrants were offered and sold to a total of six investors, all of whom are accredited investors.  There was no commission paid, directly or indirectly, to any person in conjunction with the sale of the special warrants.  The Company received gross proceeds of $150,000 from the offering.



Additionally, subsequent to year end December 30, 2004, the Company adopted a stock option plan (Plan).  The maximum number of common shares available for issue is 3,000,000.  At April 1, 2005, there were 30,000 options issued.  No options may be exercised until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders.
