Corporate History





The Mining Industry





Mining operations generally progress through four stages:  (1) prospecting, or the search for mineral deposits; (2) exploration, or the work involved in assessing the size, shape, location, and economic value of the deposit; (3) development, or the work of preparing access to the deposit so that the minerals can be extracted from it; and (4) exploitation, the work of extracting the minerals.





Companies in the mining industry are categorized based on the current activities taking place at the properties where they own rights.  An exploration stage company is one that is engaged in the search for minerals (reserves) which are not in either the development stage or production stage.  A development stage company is one that is engaged in the preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit (reserves) for its extraction which is not in the production stage.  A production stage company is one that is engaged in the exploitation of a mineral deposit (reserve).





The exploration stage of mining consists of numerous steps, including:  i) locate vein structures; ii) rock chip sample along the lengths of the vein; iii) rock chip sample the surrounding host rock; iv) send samples to assay labs for assay results; v) upon favorable results, perform a soil geochemical assay test along and around the vein structure to get a better detail of where the vein runs; vi) assay the soils that are collected; vii) using test results, map out a test drill pattern for the Diamond Core drilling; viii) drill the cores based on the drill map created; ix) sample the cores at various depths and send to assay; and x) either plot out a total drilling program or put together a pilot production plant for approximately the same cost as a full drill program (approximately $1.2 million).





A glossary of the mining and mineral resource terms used in this Annual Report is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.3, from our registration statement on Form S-1 (Amendment #1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009.








Company Overview





We were originally incorporated under the name Plae, Inc., in the State of Arizona on August 20, 1999.  At the time we operated under the name Plae, Inc., no business was conducted.  No books or records were maintained and no meetings were held.   In essence, nothing was done after incorporation until Glenn E. Martin took possession of Plae, Inc. in January 2005.  On February 18, 2005, the corporate name was changed to King Mines, Inc. and then subsequently changed to its current name, United Mines, Inc., on March 30, 2005.  No shares were issued until the Company became United Mines, Inc.





We are a mineral exploration stage company and have been in the mining industry since January 2005.  An exploration stage company is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage.  We currently own four groups of mining claims.  These groups include one primary silver exploration stage mining project, seven gold exploration stage mining projects, three copper exploration stage projects, and one placer gold exploration stage project, all in Arizona, USA.  To date, we have no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on any of the properties we own or where we have mineral rights. Further exploration, at a significant cost to us, will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the properties is determined.  If this evaluation determines that some of the properties do have mineral deposits we will have to spend substantial funds for their drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit (a reserve).





In October, 2005, we contracted with Glynn A. Burkhardt and Glynn G. Burkhardt, our current Senior Vice President and our former Emeritus Chairman of the Board, respectively, to transfer the rights and interests they held in 23 mining claim to us, by quitclaim deed, in exchange for 3,600,000 shares of our common stock.  These rights and interests were actually transferred to us in June 2006 (See Exhibit 10.4 Quitclaim Deeds incorporated by reference to from our registration statement on Form S-1 (Amendment #1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009).

ITEM 1 – BUSINESS - continued




Corporate History - continued
  In March and April 2006, we obtained 3 state “exploration permits” from the state of Arizona, which are renewable on an annual basis for a maximum of 5 years.  The “exploration permits” are the precursor to obtaining a lease from the state, but leases cannot be obtained until we either conduct exploration for a year on the properties or show economic feasibility.





During 2006, we acquired 69 additional unpatented mining claims on BLM land, including the 9 claims that make up the Blue Copper mining property.





As a result of these acquisitions, we currently own four groups of mining claims.  As detailed below, these groups include one primary silver exploration stage mining project, seven gold exploration stage mining projects, three copper exploration stage projects, and one placer gold exploration stage project, all in Arizona, USA.





Our four groups of mining claims include 92 unpatented Bureau of Land Management (BLM) mining claims in Southern Arizona, USA, totaling 1840 acres.  These claims are renewable annually for $140 per claim and currently paid through August 31, 2011.  (See Exhibit 99.1 Mining Claim Ledger, incorporated by reference to from our registration statement on Form S-1 (Amendment #1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009, for both our 38 material mining claims and our 54 non-material mining claims).





In addition to the unpatented mining claims, we own three Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) Mineral Exploration Permits, Nos. 08-110135, 08-110136 and 08-110137, each of which are each good for 5 years, currently thru April 13, 2011.  This Arizona state land department position totals 1,920 acres of land.  These are renewable annually, at $2.00 per acre for year one, no charge per acre for the second year, and $1.00 per acre for years 3-5, plus a $500 renew application fee.  This fee had been paid thru April 13, 2011. (See Exhibit 99.2 ASLD Mineral Exploration Permits incorporated by reference registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2008).





A brief description of the properties where we have mineral rights are discussed below.  For ease of reference we have split our claims and permitted land into “material” projects, those where we plan to begin our exploration activities, and “non-material” projects, those that we will begin any activity on until after we have begun initial exploration on our “material” projects.  For our material projects we have included various maps and information related to the project in our exhibits.  For our non-material projects we do not include as much in-depth information.





Our Current Material Projects





Primary Silver Mining Exploration Project (Group 1 Claims and State Exploration Permits)





Overview





Our primary silver exploration project is known as “The Cerro Colorado Silver Mining Project.”  This project contains the famous “Cerro Colorado” mine, also known as the Heintzelman Silver Mines.  The Cerro Colorado mines have produced silver in the past, but, to date, we have not extracted any silver from this mine, but we have conducted test sampling.





Size:  This project encompasses 24 unpatented lode claims totaling 480 acres and three state mineral exploration permits, encompassing 1,920 acres.   All land under this project falls within T.20S., R10E of the Salt River Base Meridian, Pima County, Arizona.





Lode claims C-1 through C-9 and LC 58 and 59 form a contiguous block in Section 25 and the north 1/2 of Section 36.   One additional 20 acre lode claim covers the Waterman Mine on the SW 1/4 of Section 22.   Claim corner posts and DM monuments were observed on the ground, and appear in accordance with federal staking regulations. (See our permits and the Project Area and Lode Claim/State Lease Maps for this project in Exhibit 99.4, incorporated by reference to our registration statement on Form S-1 (Amendment #1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009.).  These are the lode claims that were purchased from the Burkhardts.

 Permitted heap leach facilities, under lead agency jurisdiction of the Arizona State Department of Environmental Quality, are located in central portions of lode claim 58 and 59 (LC58 and LC59).  The permitted twin plant facility is discussed in further detail under “Mill Sites” below.
  The reclamation bonds are currently held by Glynn A. Burkhardt in the name of Glynn A. Burkhardt and Glynn G. Burkhardt, under contract to us.  A BLM required Reclamation Bond of $9,000 is in place.   In addition, a $5,000 Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) bond is in place for aquifer protection permit #P-101031.  Transfer of these bonds from the Burkhardts to UMI, is in process.





Bonding requirements for proposed exploration and mining activities on state land have been met.  Currently, we have $11,000 in mineral exploration reclamation bonds covering UMI’s 3 Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits 08-110135, 08-110136 and 08-110137.





Cerro Colorado Exploration:   Several groups of mining claims on the Cerro Colorado properties are currently being evaluated for various phases of exploration activity.  Planned 2011/2012 exploration includes underground and surface drilling on The South Clark properties in an effort to discover any possible mineralized materials.  (See Exhibit 99.4incorporated by reference to our registration statement on Form S-1 (Amendment #1), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009.)





Cerro Colorado Strategy:   This is the location we plan on exploring first.  We hope to establish precious metals production from this location in order to produce cash flow which will sustain the company while exploration of further company owned sites is begun.  We will initiate bulk sample metallurgical testing of mineralized material from several of our silver mines at this location.





United Mines Assets at Cerro Colorado and Processing Facility:Currently, we have mineralized materials in side cast mine dumps, ready to process.   However, this material is not listed on our financial statements as we will not consider these materials as assets until the mineralized materials from the property is processed and extracted.  Bureau of Land Management Inspector William Auby visited our Twin Plant mineralized material processing facility on September 28, 2007, BLM Inspector Daniel Moore visited our processing facility in Dec. 2009 and again in February 2011 and gave permission to go ahead under the current Plan of Operations to start to processing mineralized material with our permitted 100-ton a day gravity float and to upgrade our heap leach system.   A modified Plan of Operations will be submitted for approval once we receive sufficient funding to cover our anticipated costs associated with these operations.  In November 2007& November 2009, our Twin Plant mill site passed our ADEQ permitting processing.





Nicholas Barr, Geologist, was commissioned in 2000 by Glynn A. Burkhardt and Glynn G. Burkhardt, to do a pre-feasibility geological investigation on the Cerro Colorado Mining District.   Ongoing sampling and assays reported from 2001 through 2005 were incorporated into the Barr pre-feasibility report, complete thru 2006.

Location and Access





The UMI Group 1 claims are located in Pima County, Arizona, about 40 miles southwest of Tucson, off exit 48 on Interstate 19 going to Nogales.  Take Amado/Arivaca Rd west 15 miles to properties.  Various gravel/dirt roads go north into the claim group area.





Geology of Group One Claims Area





Mineralization is hosted by a low relief sequence of Tertiary or Cretaceous-age andesite porphyry, quartz latite porphyry, rhyodacite and flow breccia.  Extensive faulting, including numerous broad hematitic fracture zones is thought related to multiple episodes of uplift and fracturing generated by Laramide intrusive activity allowed by Tertiary caldera formation and basin and range extension.  A long duration of tectonic activity has allowed for deep penetration of descending solutions and development of secondary mineralization to depths of 300 feet or greater.





Mill Site Buildings





We own a twin plant facility which includes a heap leach mill with a 100-ton a day gravitational float mill.  In November 2009, we received our current Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) permit, approving this mill for general use.  We must still obtain operating permits when we actually begin processing minerals through the mill, but the ADEQ permit is the primary permit approving the mill for operations.  Within one year we plan on having limited production on our side cast mine dumps at the Cerro Colorado mine site, and gradually increase production thereafter.





Existing buildings include the precipitation house, spare parts and hardware storage building and a laboratory.  There are four small mobile homes used for on-site housing.   During the expansion of mining activities, the heap leach pad and ponds will be reconstructed, as will a shower/locker room/restroom building and a 120' by 40' maintenance and storage building.   The precipitation house will eventually be upgraded with higher capacity processing equipment.

ITEM 1 – BUSINESS - continued


Our Current Material Projects - continued
  We will operate strictly in accordance with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Arizona State Mine Inspector and ADEQ regulations.  We will install heavier gauge geomembranes (a kind of geosynthetic material, specifically impermeable membranes used widely as cut-offs and liners) in the heap leach pad and ponds than required by ADEQ together with a compacted clay liner underneath the geomembranes in order to further decrease the potential for cyanide solution leakage into the ground.





Chain link fence topped with barbed wire will be erected to surround the heap leach pad, the pregnant solution pond and the overflow pond.  Each of these fences will be lined at the bottom with 2 inch mesh chicken wire from ground level to two feet high to keep out small animals and snakes.  To avoid birds landing in the two ponds, the ponds will be protected by one inch netting that is stretched from the top of the fences and supported by cables.





All employees will be required to take mine safety training and cyanide safe handling training. Employees will be equipped with safety equipment including hard hats, gloves, ear plugs, respirators and protective clothing suitable for their particular jobs.  Emergency showers and emergency eye washes will be provided.





The heap leach pad and ponds, and all the buildings, will be lighted with bright lights on 25 foot poles for safety and security.  We will provide several gasoline and diesel engine generators to keep the processing going 24 hours a day in case of power failure.





Heap Leach Pad and Ponds





The heap leach facility is a hydrometallurgical silver leaching operation that will process mineralized material from active and inactive mines throughout the Cerro Colorado Mining District as well as open pit mined mineralized material.  The heap leach facility will consist of a lined heap leach pad (initially one acre in size); a double-lined, pregnant (metal-bearing) solution pond (25 feet by 25 feet); a non-storm water, single-lined overflow pond (60 feet by 145 feet); process pipelines, pumps and holding tanks; and storm water berms and diversion trenches.





Mineralized Material Crushing, Screening and Agglomeration





Mineralized material will be deposited on the lined heap leach pad.  The pad has been designed to accommodate 55,000 tons of mineralized material for processing.  Mineralized material bearing rock will be crushed and conveyed to a vibrator screen. Mineralized material that is +1/2" to 3/4" will be transferred directly to the mineralized material heap via conveyor belt.  Mineralized material that is less than 1/2" will move to a cement agglomeration unit and, after agglomeration, be transported via conveyor belt to the mineralized material heap.  The mineralized material will be stacked on the leach pad in 5 foot lifts to a height of 55 feet.





The maximum height of the mineralized material heap will be 55 feet; however, after it is at that height, tests will be conducted, and an engineering opinion obtained, in the interest of adding another 10,000 to 20,000 tons to the original pad.  If compression test and slope stability check out, the angle of repose may be amended to accommodate the additional mineralized material.  This is a cost saving measure and offers the added benefit of leaching small amounts of gold and silver that will result from the additional leaching time for the earlier lifts.  Each 5,000 ton lift is projected to yield 10 oz Ag per ton and 0.03 oz Au per ton based on a 75% recovery rate.  Pilot testing without fine crushing has yielded 72-77% recovery.  With agglomeration, the actual recovery rate should be in the 77%-82% range.





While the one acre heap leach pad is being constructed, UMI will begin preparing an application for the ADEQ to permit expansion of the pad to 4.9 acres.  When the additional 3.9 acre pad is available, it will be loaded and heap leached as two sections.  Each section will take one month to load and will be leached for two months.  Lifts for each section will be 10 feet high and cover nearly twice the area of the one acre pad resulting in approximately 3.75 times as much production as the original one acre pad.  The larger pad will permit the height to be increased to at least 100 feet, perhaps as high as 150 feet depending on test results.





Heap Leach Process





Each lift of mineralized material on the one acre pad will be leached for approximately 21 days with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide.  The solution will be dripped onto the mineralized material from a grid of PVC pipes.  The resulting pregnant solution will be collected by another grid of perforated piping which overlays the geomembranes pad liner.  The piping network will transport the pregnant solution from the leach pad to the pregnant solution pond.

  ITEM 1 – BUSINESS - continued
  Our Current Material Projects - continued





Extraction Process and Cyanide Recirculation




The pregnant solution from the pond is pumped to the precipitation house where a Merrill-Crowe zinc extraction plant will be used to extract the silver.  Barren solution from the extraction plant will flow by gravity to a 500 gallon tank where it is pumped to a 1,000 gallon makeup tank for the addition of cyanide.  The solution is then re-circulated to the heap leach pad.





Primary Copper Exploration Project (Group 2)





Overview





Our primary copper exploration project is called the Blue Copper/Green Copper/Red Beds mining exploration project.





Size:  This project consists of 14 material BLM mining claims and 4 non-material BLM mining claims totaling 20 acres each.





UMI Group 2 Claims





The UMI Group 2 Claims consist of 3 sub-groups of claims as follows:





1.           BLUE COPPER;   T8S, R12E, Sec 18 and 19, G and SR Meridian.


13 X 20 acre claims or 260 acres.  This includes 9 material claims and 4 non-material claims (See our Project Area and Lode Claim Maps for the 9 material claims in this project in Exhibit 99.5).  (See Exhibit 99.1 for the ledger of the non-material claims, AMC #s 161026, 161027, 161041, 161043).





2.           GREEN COPPER;   T9S, R12E, Sec 15, G and SR Meridian.


1 x 20 acre claims or 20 acres.  (See our Project Area and Lode Claim Maps for this project in Exhibit 99.5).





3. RED BEDS; T8S, R12E, Sec 33 and 34.  4 x 20 acre claims or 80 acres.  (See our Project Area and Lode Claim Maps for this project in Exhibit 99.5).





The above Group 2 Claims contain a total of 360 acres.





To date we have not performed any work on these Group 2 UMI 100% owned properties.   We are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that commercially viable mineralized material, or a reserve, exists on this property.   We will not be able to make such a determination until exploration and drilling programs are completed and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.





Blue Copper Project 2012/2013 Exploration:  We plan on road repair, surface mapping/ sampling, possible geo-physical and drilling, and then initiate surface and underground mapping/ sampling, exploration, bulk sample metallurgical testing, drilling, step out and possible in-fill reverse circulation and core drilling of high grade areas, at some point in the future.  However, we will not begin any of these activities until we submit a proposed Plan of Operations.  We do not plan on submitting a proposed Plan of Operations for this property until we receive sufficient funding to move forward with activities at this location.

Physiographic





The Durham Hills are located approximately 30 mi NW of Tucson, Pinal County, Arizona off State highway 77 at between Mile Posts 104 and 108.  Two main Cr0x deposits are hosted in two structural blocks, a west block and an east block, separated by a NW-trending high-angle normal fault.  There are two deposits known as the Cross Triangle Ranch deposit, located in the western block and the Magna Well deposit, located in the eastern.  The Magma Well deposit has also been referred to as the Edwards Mine, the Owen Mine and more regularly as the Blue Copper Mine.  In this annual report, the name Blue Copper will be used.





The Cross Triangle ranch deposit is located in a series of NW to NS trending, low-lying hills, informally referred to by the owners as, from north to south, Rattlesnake Hill, Green Hill, and Blue Hill.  The Cross Triangle has been heavily prospected by trenches and pits, and minor amounts of Cu0x-strained building stone have been shipped.  The Blue Copper mine is located approximately 3⁄4 of a mile NE of the Cross Triangle and consists of a heavily prospected, low-lying hill adjacent to a cattle tank with several surrounding small prospect pits.  Building stone has also reportedly been shipped from this deposit.





Structural Geology





Foliation and lineation in the quartz monzonite and mylonitic schist is highly suggestive of detachment fault processes.  The overall strike and dip of the foliation and lineation would seem to suggest a top to the NE extension.  However, preliminary analysis of possible shear indicators in the mylonite (stretched and rotated quartz grains) suggests top to the SW extension, which is consistent with the regional sense of shear in the Catalina-Tortolita metamorphic core complex.  This geometry indicates that the rocks in the Durham Hills have been rotated and back-tilted along high-angle, listric normal faults.





Our Current Non-Material Projects (Group 3 and 4 Claims)





Description of Properties





To complement the primary silver and copper projects under exclusive control and operation of United Mines, Inc., we also own 100% of the following unpatented non-material mining properties under jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Interior.





Primary Gold Mining Exploration Projects





Overview





Our primary gold exploration consists of three projects: The Big Three/Ostrich, Tres Amigos and Sorrel Top.





Size:  The Ostrich/Big Three gold exploration project consists of 17 BLM mining claims (20 acres each) and the Tres Amigos/Sorrel Top gold exploration project consists of 18 BLM mining claims (20 acres each).





The Ostrich/Big Three 2012/2013 Explorations:  We will handle road repair, surface mapping and/or sampling and possible geo-physical & drilling.  Cleanup of the mine portals as well as collar repair and/or replacement will be accomplished as required.  In the future we also hope to proceed with road repair, surface and underground mapping and/sampling, underground clean out, repair and exploration, bulk sample metallurgical testing, surface and possible underground drilling.  We will not begin any of these activities until we submit a proposed Plan of Operations.  The Plan of Operations will not be submitted to BLM until we receive sufficient funding to conduct operations at this property.





Tres Amigos & Sorrel Top 2012/2013 Exploration:  Several portions of mining claims on the Tres Amigos and Sorrel Top properties are currently being evaluated for after we receive sufficient funding to conduct operations at this property.  Exploration activities will include underground and surface drilling on the Tres Amigos and Sorrel Top properties.  Surface and underground mapping & sampling, geo-chem, and possible geo-physical exploration is also planned for this site once we receive sufficient funding to conduct operations at this property.

  Our Current Non-Material Projects (Group 3 and 4 Claims)- continued





Ostrich/Big Three/Tres Amigos & Sorrel Top Strategy:  Once we receive sufficient funding, we plan to establish precious metals exploration which, in the future, we believe will produce cash flow to sustain us and allow the opportunity to then initiate core drilling & bulk sample metallurgical testing of mineralized materials from our gold mining claims.





UMI Group 3 Non-Material Claims:





The UMI Group 3 claims consist of 4 sub-groups of claims as follows:





1.           Ostrich; T22S, R10E, Sec. 22; G & SR Meridian.


7 X 20 acre claims or 140 acres.





2.           Big Three; T22S, R10E, sec. 27; G & SR Meridian.


10 X 20 acre claims or 200 acres.





3.           Tres Amigos; T23S, R11E Sec. 19; G & SR Meridian.

The above UMI Group 3 claims contain a total of 700 acres.  (See Mining Claim Ledger, Exhibit 99.1).





To date we have not performed any work on these four properties.  We are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that commercially viable mineralized material, or a reserve, exists on this property.  We will not be able to make such a determination until exploration and drilling programs are completed and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.





Location and Access





The UMI Group 3 claims are located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, about 62 miles southwest of Tucson off exit 48 on Interstate 19 going to Nogales.





Ostrich/Big Three mining claims:   Take Amado/Arivaca Rd west 24 miles to Town of Arivaca; then south on Ruby road (paved) 3.5 miles to Yellow Jacket Road (dirt), follow 5 miles to Ostrich/Big Three Gold mining properties.





Tres Amigos/Sorrel Top mining claims:   Take Amado/Arivaca Rd west 24 miles to Town of Arivaca, then south on Ruby road (paved) 12 miles east to various gravel/dirt roads going south & east on to the claim group area.





Geology of Group 3 Claim Area





Physical Geology





Topography of the project area is moderately steep with elevations ranging from about 4,200 to 4,700 feet.  NW-SE trending Cobre Ridge, characterized by mostly bluffy outcrops, flanks the project area.  Fraguita Peak (elev. 5,374), is a prominent landmark about 1 mile to the northwest.





Regional Geology and Mineralization





The Oro Blanco Mining District, extending from Arivaca south to the international boundary, encompasses roughly 40 square miles and lies within the southern part of the Basin and Range Province of Arizona.   Jurassic-age welded and non-welded quartz latite tuff and rhyolite tuff, underlying Cobre Ridge and central portions of the district are the oldest rocks.  Outcrops of conglomerate and sandstone of the Cretaceous Oro Blanco Formation are common east of Cobre Ridge and across southern sections of the District. Mostly flat lying and bluff forming   Tertiary-age dacite and andesite flows, tuffs and pryoclastics mark the south and east edge of the area.  Plutonic rocks, consisting of Jurassic quartz monzonite and Cretaceous diorite and andesite are widely scattered as irregular masses up to 0.5 to 1 mile in aerial extent.  Aligned closely with the northwest tectonic fabric of the region are conspicuous dikes, dike swarms and elongate plugs of Tertiary-age quartz monzonite and lesser andesite and porphyritic rhyolite.

2 X 20 acre claims or 40 acres





The above Group 4 Claims contain a total of 300 acres.





To date we have not performed any work on these 3 UMI 100% owned properties.   We are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that commercially viable mineralized material, or a reserve, exists on this property.   We will not be able to make such a determination until exploration and drilling programs are completed and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.





Location and Access





Take Interstate 19 south to exit 48 at Amado.  Then take Amado/Arivaca Rd west 24 miles to Town of Arivaca; then south on Ruby road (paved) 3.5 miles to Yellow Jacket Road (dirt), follow 6 miles on Yellow Jacket Road past Ajax/Edwards mines to placer gold mining properties.





UMI Placer Gold Claims





The placer gold claims (GPA-1 and 2) are primarily a recreational gold panning area and do not anticipate active exploration on commercial level until future circumstances warrant.





Overview





Due to our fairly recent formation and acquisition of the mineral rights associated with the above properties, we are still early in the process of mapping and sampling these properties for potential mineral deposits.  Therefore, despite our ownership of the mineral rights described above and the fact we have begun plotting, mapping, and sampling from some of the properties, as of the date of this Annual report, we have not extracted any minerals from these properties, other than samples, and have not received any revenue from these exploration activities.  We do not know when, or if, we will begin to receive revenue from these activities.





As noted above, our current and immediate plans for exploration are only at the Cerro Colorado Silver Mining Project.  Though we have had a geologist out to the other properties, we do not intend to move ahead with any exploration activities at the other properties, until we receive sufficient money to fund operations at the properties.





At our properties we have controls in place to ensure that no unauthorized individuals tamper with any mineralized material.  To that effect we have hired Burkhardt Mining to gather samples being used for assay.  The samples are sent to, or dropped off at, a certified assay lab by the person that removed the sample from the property.  The assays are prepared and the data is sent via email with a hard copy follow-up (in most cases) to the independent geologist and/or mining engineer with copies to us.  At no time does the sample leave the professional handling the sampling of the mineralized material.  When we are ready to proceed with assay work we plan on utilizing the services of Jacobs Assay Office in Tucson, Arizona, BSI Spectorate, and IPL Laboratories, to conduct our assay work.  The assay work is what determines what minerals, if any, are contained in the rock samples.

  ITEM 1 – BUSINESS - continued
  Our Growth Strategy
  Our objective is to successfully locate properties with mineral deposits, acquire the necessary rights to explore those properties, and then sell those minerals on the open market.





We intend to grow in two ways.  First, we intend to continue exploring the existing properties where we have mineral rights to hopefully locate mineral reserves that we can excavate and sell on the open market.  Second, we intend to be active in locating and acquiring mineral rights at properties that we explore and that we believe will have a high probability of having mineral reserves.  As noted above, we are currently in the various stages of exploring the locations where we have mineral rights.  Currently, in addition to our existing properties, we are targeting the Southwestern United States in our search for additional mineral rights that we may be interested in purchasing.





New Product Development





As our Company is in the mining industry we are not involved in any new product development.





Competition





We are a mineral resource exploration company.  We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us.  Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties.  In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration. This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to explore our mineral properties.





Sources and Availability of Raw Materials





As a company in the mining industry we do not utilize raw materials in our business.





Dependence on Major Customers





We have not mined any minerals from our properties and, therefore, do not depend on any major customers.





Patents, Trademarks and Licenses





We do not have any trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property.

  ITEM 1 – BUSINESS - continued
  Need for Government Approval





As an exploration stage company in the mining industry, we must obtain government approval for the following.  We are granted right to mine by the Mining Act of 1872, which allow us to go on land and explore, develop and extract minerals from the land.  This is done through a permitting process.  On federal land, we have permits from the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.  We will have to obtain additional permits to drill and extract any minerals from the land.  On the state side we are governed by the Arizona State Mining Department, which also a permitting process for state-owned land.  The permitting processes at both the federal and state level can take years to complete.





Having a currently permitted mill site, we are approved to extract any mineralized material from the Cerro Colorado properties.  Before doing this we must obtain a Notice of Intent (NOI) to extract these mineralized materials from our side cast mine dumps.





In addition we need to complete environment and archeological studies on all properties where we disturb the surface of the land.  We must also meet all ADEQ laws and regulations.  UMI passed the most recent ADEQ inspection in November 2009 with no reported deficiencies.





Normally, mining companies must obtain government-approved water well in order to begin any mining operations.  However, our water well is “grandfathered” in, which will allow us to begin operating our mill site.  Electrical supply is currently active at the mill site.  We plan on upgrading the electrical supply as needed once adequate funding is secured.





Effect of Government Regulation on Business





As a company in the mining industry government regulations, primarily environmental regulations, affect our business and the processes and methodologies we utilize in all facets of our business, beginning with government permitting prior to any activities taking place at the mines, all the way through extraction of any minerals found at the mines.





As such, we will operate strictly in accordance with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Arizona State Mine Inspector and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) regulations.   Compliance with these government regulations is expected to cost us approximately $75,000 per year.  Once we are in the test productions phase, we anticipate our bonds will increase to over $250,000 to $300,000 per year.  Currently, we are undertaking the following to help keep us in compliance with various government regulations.





We will install heavier gauge geomembranes in the heap leach pad and ponds than required by ADEQ together with a compacted clay liner underneath the geomembranes in order to further decrease the potential for cyanide solution leakage into the ground.





We will erect chain link fence topped with barbed wire to surround the heap leach pad, the pregnant solution pond and the overflow pond.  Each of these fences will be lined at the bottom with 2 inch mesh chicken wire from ground level to two feet high to keep out small animals and snakes.  To avoid birds landing in the two ponds, the ponds will be protected by one inch netting that is stretched from the top of the fences and supported by cables.





All employees will be required to take mine safety training and cyanide safe handling training.  Employees will be equipped with safety equipment including hard hats, gloves, ear plugs, respirators and protective clothing suitable for their particular jobs.  Emergency showers and emergency eye washes will be provided.





The heap leach pad and ponds, and all the buildings, will be lighted with bright lights on 25 foot poles for safety and security.  We will provide several gasoline and diesel engine generators to keep the processing going 24 hours a day in case of power failure.

  Effect of Government Regulation on Business - continued





Mill Site Buildings





Existing buildings include the precipitation house, spare parts and hardware storage building and a laboratory.  There are four small mobile homes used for on-site housing.  During the expansion of mining activities, the heap leach pad and ponds will be constructed, as will a shower/locker room/restroom building and a 120' by 40' maintenance and storage building.  The precipitation house will be upgraded with higher capacity processing equipment.





Heap Leach Pad and Ponds





The heap leach facility is a hydrometallurgical silver leaching operation that will process mineralized material from active and inactive mines throughout the Cerro Colorado Mining District as well as open pit mined mineralized material.  The heap leach facility will consist of a lined heap leach pad (initially one acre in size); a double-lined, pregnant (metal-bearing) solution pond (25 feet by 25 feet); a non-storm water, single-lined overflow pond (60 feet by 145 feet); process pipelines, pumps and holding tanks; and storm water berms and diversion trenches.





Mineralized Material Crushing, Screening and Agglomeration





Mineralized material will be deposited on the lined heap leach pad.  The pad has been designed to accommodate 55,000 tons of mineralized material for processing.  Mineralized material will be crushed and conveyed to a vibrator screen.  Mineralized material that is +1/2" to 3/4" will be transferred directly to the mineralized material heap via conveyor belt.  Mineralized material that is less than 1/2" will move to a cement agglomeration unit and, after agglomeration, be transported via conveyor belt to the mineralized material heap.  The mineralized material will be stacked on the leach pad in 5 foot lifts to a height of 55 feet.





The maximum height of the mineralized material heap will be 55 feet; however, after it is at that height, tests will be conducted, and an engineering opinion obtained, in the interest of adding another 10,000 to 20,000 tons to the original pad.  If compression test and slope stability check out, the angle of repose may be amended to accommodate the additional mineralized material.  This is a cost saving measure and offers the added benefit of leaching small amounts of gold and silver that will result from the additional leaching time for the earlier lifts.





While the one acre heap leach pad is being constructed, we will begin preparing an application for the ADEQ to permit expansion of the pad to 4.9 acres.  When the additional 3.9 acre pad is available, it will be loaded and heap leached as two sections.  Each section will take one month to load and will be leached for two months.  Lifts for each section will be 10 feet high and cover nearly twice the area of the one acre pad resulting in approximately 3.75 times as much production as the original one acre pad.   The larger pad will permit the height to be increased to at least 100 feet, perhaps as high as 150 feet depending on test results.





Heap Leach Process





Each lift of mineralized material on the one acre pad will be leached for approximately 21 days with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide.  The solution will be dripped onto the mineralized material from a grid of PVC pipes.  The resulting pregnant solution will be collected by another grid of perforated piping which overlies the geomembranes pad liner.  The piping network will transport the pregnant solution from the leach pad to the pregnant solution pond.





Extraction Process and Cyanide Recirculation





The pregnant solution from the pond is pumped to the precipitation house where a Merrill-Crowe zinc extraction plant will be used to extract the silver.  Barren solution from the extraction plant will flow by gravity to a 500 gallon tank where it is pumped to a 1,000 gallon makeup tank for the addition of cyanide.  The solution is then re-circulated to the heap leach pad.  The solution will be continuously monitored and concentration and pH carefully adjusted for maximum leaching action.





Research and Development





As an exploration stage company in the mining industry we are not involved in any research and development.

 Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws





As a company in the mining industry we are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations.  We strive to comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are currently taking the steps indicated above.  We believe that our operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations on environmental matters.  These laws and regulations, on federal, state and local levels, are evolving and frequently modified and we cannot predict accurately the effect, if any, they will have on its business in the future.  In many instances, the regulations have not been finalized, or are frequently being modified. Even where regulations have been adopted, they are subject to varying and contradicting interpretations and implementation. In some cases, compliance can only be achieved by capital expenditure and we cannot accurately predict what capital expenditures, if any, may be required.





Environmental laws could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with any violations. As a handler and generator of hazardous materials, we are subject to financial exposure with regard to intentional or unintentional violations.  Any present or future noncompliance with environmental laws or future discovery of contamination could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.





Employees





As of December 31, 2010, we, employ a total of 4 full-time employees, all at the executive level.





We are not aware of any problems in our relationships with our employees and pride ourselves that a majority of our employees have worked with us (including our subsidiaries) for several years.  Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining organization and we have never experienced any work stoppage.

ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS.





As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:





We have a limited operating history and limited historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.





We only have a limited history and we are subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise.  Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business in general and those specific to the mineral exploration and extraction businesses and the competitive and regulatory environment in which we operate. You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages of exploration.  We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating and acquisition strategies.  If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment.  Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or profits we anticipate in the future.





The only known mineralized materials we have at any of the properties where we have mineral rights is at the Cerro Colorado property.





According to the pre-feasibility report entitled, Geological Studies of the Cerro Colorado, by Nicholas Barr, Geologist, the Cerro Colorado property has mineralized material in side cast mine dumps, ready to process.    No proved reserves have been discovered at any of the exploration properties where we have mineral rights.  Although we have geological reports that indicate possible mineralized material on a couple of the properties, the probability of any of the exploration properties ever having reserves that are commercially viable is remote.  The failure to locate proved reserves at the exploration properties we own would render those properties valueless.  If those mineral rights are found to be valueless, or if we run out of funds prior to discovering proved reserves at these locations, then we may have to cease operations, which would impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment.





Our strategy of exploring the existing exploration properties and acquiring additional mineral rights may not produce positive financial results for us.





Our strategy of exploring the existing exploration properties and acquiring additional mineral rights is subject to a variety of risks, including the:





·
Inability to locate valuable minerals at the properties;


·
Failure or unanticipated delays in exploring the exploration properties where we have mineral rights;


·
Property ownership rights on the property where the mineral rights are located;


·
Inability to negotiate favorable mineral rights agreements on satisfactory terms and conditions;


·
Increases in the prices of mining equipment due to increased competition for acquisition opportunities or other factors; and


·
Inability to sell any mined minerals





If we are not able to successfully address these risks, it would materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment.





If we do not obtain new financings in an amount sufficient to pursue mineral exploration activities at the exploration properties, and to pursue exploration and mineral rights at other mineral properties, our exploration operations will be reduced.




To date, we have relied on recent private placement financings in order to fund exploration of the properties.  We will continue to require additional financing to complete our plan of operations for exploration work at the properties and to pursue additional exploration at other mineral properties.  While our financing requirements may be reduced if we successfully extract valuable minerals, any impairment in our ability to raise additional funds through financings would reduce the available funds for the exploration of the properties, including additional exploration activities, with the result that our plan of operations may be adversely affected and potential recoveries reduced or delayed.  We believe we currently have working capital to remain in business for three months under our current business plan.

  ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS. - continued
  We have never had any revenues since our inception and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve the financing necessary to enable us to precede with our exploration activities.





We have never had any revenues since our inception.  We will apply any proceeds from gold or other mineral sales generated from our exploration activities at the properties to help cover our exploration expenditures, but we anticipate that our projected expenditures will far exceed any proceeds from those sales over the next twelve months, which will require that we obtain substantial financing in order for us to pursue our current plan of operations.  If we do not achieve the necessary financing, then we will not be able to proceed with our planned exploration activities, including our planned exploration activities, and our financial condition, business prospects and results of operations will be materially adversely affected to the point of having to cease operations, which would likely cause our investors to lose their entire investment.





We have not established that there are any commercially viable mineral deposits on any of the properties and we have not established commercially viable operations on the properties, and, therefore, there is no assurance that we will recover any gold or other minerals from the properties, or if we do that any amounts we recover from exploration activities will be sufficient to continue our operations.





Our activities at the properties are currently in the exploration stage. We have permitted Plans of Operations for our three state permit properties, which include mapping, surveying, rock-chip sampling, road improvement, assay tests, and other exploration activities at the properties as part of our exploration program, but we have not yet established a commercially viable operation on the properties.  There is no requirement that we have any activities at the 89 unpatented mining claims, as these claims are renewable annually at $140 per claim.  We are currently paid through August 31st 2011 on these claims.  There is no assurance that we will recover any gold, silver, copper or other minerals on any of our properties, and no assurance that if we do, that we will recover quantities that will enable us to continue our operations.  If we are not able to continue our operations our investors would likely lose their entire investments.





If we are unable to achieve projected mineral recoveries from our exploration activities at the properties, then our financial condition will be adversely affected and we will have less cash with which to pursue our operations.





We plan to undertake exploration activities as part of our plan for the properties.  Our objective is to recover minerals from exploration activities to help offset the cost of those exploration activities.  As we have not established any reserves on these properties, there is no assurance that actual recoveries of minerals from material excavated during the exploration activities will equal or exceed our exploration costs.  If our mineral recoveries are less than projected, then our mineral sales will be less than anticipated and may not equal or exceed the cost of exploration and recovery in which case our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.





If the cost of recovering mineralized material at the properties is higher than anticipated, then our financial condition and ability to pursue additional exploration will be adversely affected.





We have proceeded with geological surveys and sampling.  If the actual costs are greater than anticipated, then cash used in the exploration activities at the properties will be greater than anticipated.  An increase in the funds used in sampling and surveying activities will cause us to have fewer funds for other expenses, such as administrative and overhead expenses and exploration of our other mineral properties.  In this event, our financial condition will be adversely affected and will have fewer funds with which to pursue our exploration programs.










15
  ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS. - continued
  The mineral exploration industry is highly speculative and subject to many outside risks and influences.
  Gold, silver and strategic metals exploration is highly speculative in nature, involving many risks which even a combination of scientific knowledge and experience frequently cannot overcome, often resulting in unproductive efforts.  Further, the market price of gold, silver and other minerals is quite volatile and beyond our control.  If the price of any of these precious metals drops dramatically, our exploration efforts, which have been limited and have not, to date, been profitable, could be further reduced or continue to be rendered uneconomical.  The degree of speculation is further magnified when a company is in the exploration stages and is operating at a loss, as has been the case with us.  Despite the business experience of our officers, directors and principal shareholders, there can be no assurance that the mining properties acquired by us will be productive and/or profitable, or that such production and/or profitability will be sufficient to permit us to be successful in the future or to expand or continue to operate. As such, any investment in our company is extremely risky and, where, as here, the mining exploration is poorly financed, the risks become even higher and the most common result would be a loss of the investor’s entire investment.





Exploration activities are inherently hazardous.





Mineral exploration activities involve many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Operations that we undertake will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to the exploration for minerals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage.  The nature of these risks are such that liabilities might result in us being forced to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business prospects.





If we experience exploration accidents or other adverse events at the properties then our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected.





Our exploration activities are subject to adverse operating conditions.  Exploration accidents or other adverse incidents, such as cave-ins or flooding, could affect our ability to continue mining activities.  The occurrence of any of these events could cause a substantial delay in the exploration of minerals or could reduce the amount of gold, silver, copper or other minerals that we may be able to recover, with the result that our ability to achieve recoveries from sales of the minerals and to sustain operations would be adversely impacted.  Adverse operating conditions may also cause our operating costs to increase.  Exploration accidents or other adverse events could also result in an adverse environmental impact to the land on which our operations are located with the result that we may become subject to the liabilities for environmental cleanup and remediation.





As we have never reported revenues since our inception, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.





Our financial statements included with this Annual Report for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  Our auditors have made reference to the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  If we are not able to achieve revenues, then we likely will be forced to cease operations and investors will likely lose their entire investment.





Our current liabilities exceed our current assets and we are reliant on loans from certain of our officers and directors to pay our obligations as they become due, if those officers and directors cease loaning us money we would have problems paying our liabilities as they become due.





As of December 31, 2010, we had working capital of over $1,100.  We also rely on loans from certain officers and directors and the sale of our common stock in private sales to pay our obligations as they become due.  If those officers and directors do not continue to loan us money in the future, or if we are unable to continue to sell our common stock, then we will have problems paying our obligations as they become due.  Obviously if we are unable to pay our obligations as they become due we could be forced to cease operations and investors would likely lose their entire investment.

ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS. - continued




We face intense competition in the mineral exploration industry and must compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.





The mineral exploration industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases.  Competition includes large established exploration companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have.  As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive properties or financing on terms we consider acceptable.  We also compete with other exploration companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees.  If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration programs may be slowed down, suspended, or cease altogether.  If we were to cease operations our investors would lose their entire investment.





There may be challenges to the titles to our property.





Titles to mining properties in the western United States involves certain inherent risks due to the impossibility of determining the validity of unpatented claims from real estate records, as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mining properties.  Although we believe we have conducted reasonable investigations (in accordance with standard mining industry practice) of the validity of ownership of and the ability of certain holders of certain mining claims to transfer to certain rights and other interests therein to us, there can be no assurance that we hold good and marketable title to all of our U.S. properties.  There may be challenges to the title to our properties.  If there are title defects with respect to any of the properties, we might be required to compensate other persons or perhaps reduce or change our interest in the affected property.  Also, in any such case, the investigation and resolution of title issues would divert management's time from ongoing exploration programs.  Any significant successful challenges to our mineral rights would cause us to cease operations and for our investors to lose their entire investment.  We have conducted limited reviews of title and obtained representations regarding ownership from holders of mineral rights.  Our practice will be, if possible, to obtain title insurance with respect to its major mineral properties when a decision is made to proceed with large scale mining. This insurance however may not be sufficient to cover loss of investment or guarantee of future profits.





Certain shares of our common stock are restricted from immediate resale.  The lapse of those restrictions, coupled with the sale of the related shares in the market, or the market’s expectation of such sales, could result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our common stock.





Most of our shares of common stock are restricted from immediate resale in the public market.  The restricted shares are restricted in accordance with Rule 144, which states that if unregistered, restricted securities are to be sold, a minimum of one year must elapse between the later of the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of those securities in reliance on Rule 144.  The Rule 144 restrictive legend remains on the stock until the holder of the stock holds the stock for longer than six months (unless an affiliate) and meets the other requirements of Rule 144 to have the restriction removed.  The sale or resale of those shares in the public market, or the market’s expectation of such sales, may result in an immediate and substantial decline in the market price of our shares.  Such a decline will adversely affect our investors, and make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through equity offerings in the future.




Our management controls a large block of our common stock.





As of December 31, 2010, our officers and directors owned approximately 74.08% of our outstanding common stock, and are able to elect all of the directors and continue to control United Mines, Inc.  Non-affiliate shareholders own a minority percentage of our common stock and will have minority voting rights.  Investors will not have the ability to control either a vote of our shareholders or Board of Directors.





Some of our officers and directors have other business ventures.





As disclosed in their biographies contained herein, some of our officers and directors work with other companies in addition to their work for us, including some in the mining industry.  Although none of our officers and directors are currently working for any other companies in the mining industry, they are not prohibited from doing so.  If one or more of our officers or directors began working for another mining company it could take away from the time they currently spend working on our business affairs and could create a potential conflict of interest.








17
  ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS. - continued
  Holders of our common stock have a risk of potential dilution if we issue additional shares of common stock in the future.





Although our Board of Directors intends to utilize its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any future issuance of our common stock, the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock would cause immediate, and potentially substantial, dilution to the net tangible book value of those shares of common stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to such transaction.  Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of our issued and outstanding shares could have a material effect on the market value of the shares.





Shares of our common stock have limited transferability and liquidity.





To satisfy the requirements of certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and to conform with applicable state securities laws, each investor must acquire his Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view towards distribution.  Consequently, certain conditions of the Securities Act may need to be satisfied prior to any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the shares.  Some of these conditions may include a minimum holding period, availability of certain reports, including financial statements from United Mines, Inc., limitations on the percentage of shares sold and the manner in which they are sold.  United Mines, Inc. can prohibit any sale, transfer or disposition unless it receives an opinion of counsel provided at the holder’s expense, in a form satisfactory to United Mines, Inc., stating that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition will not result in a violation of applicable federal or state securities laws and regulations.  The public market for our shares of common stock has been extremely limited since we became public on July 14, 2009.  Consequently, owners of our shares may have to hold their investment indefinitely and may not be able to liquidate their investments in United Mines, Inc. or pledge them as collateral for a loan in the event of an emergency.





Sales of shares of our common stock by broker – dealers may not be permitted.





Although our common stock is quoted on the over the counter bulletin board (OTCBB) & OTC Markets (OTCQB), there can be no assurances that a trading market for the stock will develop.  As a result, our common stock is covered by a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that opposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale.  Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may also affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in any secondary market.





Currently, there is no market for our securities.





Although our common stock is quoted on the over the counter bulletin board (OTCBB) & OTC Markets (OTCQB), there is presently no market for our securities and there can be no assurance that any such market will develop. In the event a public trading market does develop, there is no assurance it will continue. Therefore, any investment in our common stock may be highly illiquid and without a market value.





We do not have insurance and, therefore, liability we incur could have substantial impact on our ability to continue as a going concern.





We have limited capital and, therefore, we do not currently have a policy of insurance against liabilities arising out of the negligence of our officers and directors and/or arising from deficiencies in any of our business operations. Even assuming we obtained insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance coverage would be adequate to satisfy any potential claims made against us, our officers and directors, or our business operations or assets.  Any such liability which might arise could be substantial and would likely exceed our total assets. However, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under Arizona law.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officer and controlling persons, it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act, and is therefore, unenforceable.





We are subject to all governmental rules, laws and regulations relating to the mining industry in the U.S.




We are subject to all governmental rules, laws and regulations relating to the mining industry in the U.S., and we fully intend to comply therewith.  However, there is no assurance the governmental agencies having jurisdiction over us, our operations and properties, will not enact laws, rules and/or regulations in the future which may have an adverse impact on us and our operations.






18
  ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS. - continued
  Failure or circumvention of our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting could seriously harm our financial condition, results of operations, and our business.





We plan to continue to maintain and strengthen internal controls and procedures to enhance the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure of our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting could harm our financial condition and results of operations.




The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of the company’s securities.





The Company is a "penny stock" company.  None of its securities  currently trade in any  market  and,  if  ever  available  for  trading,  will be  subject  to a Securities  and Exchange  Commission  rule that imposes  special sales  practice requirements upon  broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited  investors.  For purposes of the rule,  the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms,  institutions with assets in  excess  of  $5,000,000,  or  individuals  having a net  worth in  excess  of $1,000,000  or having an annual  income that  exceeds  $200,000  (or that,  when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).  For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination of the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop, because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.





In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3,  15g-4,  15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended.  Because our securities constitute “penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities.  The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell their securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.





Shareholders  should  be  aware  that,  according  to  Securities  and  Exchange Commission,  the  market  for penny  stocks has  suffered  in recent  years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are  often  related  to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged  matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices   involving   high-pressure   sales  tactics  and  unrealistic   price projections  by  inexperienced  sales persons;  (iv)  excessive and  undisclosed bid-ask  differentials  and  markups  by  selling  broker-dealers;  and  (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and  broker-dealers  after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,  leaving investors with losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although  we do not expect to be in a position  to  dictate  the  behavior  of the  market  or of  broker-dealers  who participate  in the  market,  management  will  strive  within the  confines  of practical  limitations to prevent the described  patterns from being established  with respect to the Company's securities.




Failure To Achieve And Maintain Effective Internal Controls In Accordance With Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business And Operating Results.




It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.






19
  ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS. - continued
  If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
  Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending December 31, 2007, we have been required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting and beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending December 31, 2010, furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
  In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses” in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
  In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.




Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported





Climate change and related regulatory responses may impact our business.





Climate change as a result of emissions of greenhouse gases is a significant topic of discussion and may generate U.S. federal and other regulatory responses in the near future. It is impracticable to predict with any certainty the impact of climate change on our business or the regulatory responses to it, although we recognize that they could be significant. However, it is too soon for us to predict with any certainty the ultimate impact, either directionally or quantitatively, of climate change and related regulatory responses.





To the extent that climate change increases the risk of natural disasters or other disruptive events in the areas in which we operate, we could be harmed. While we maintain business recovery plans that are intended to allow us to recover from natural disasters or other events that can be disruptive to our business, our plans may not fully protect us from all such disasters or events.





Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.





Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated there under, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.





SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.

As noted above, we own mineral rights on various mining properties, the size and locations of which are listed in detail above.





ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS





We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.





In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions.  The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.  However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 require additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock.  The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet.  Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.





Holders





As of December 31, 2010, there were 11,624,440 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and held by 202 holders of record.  We believe many of the shares of our common stock are held in “street name” and, therefore, we believe the actual number of shareholders is slightly higher.





Dividend Policy





As of December 31, 2010, we had paid 505,843 shares of common stock dividends.  Our stock dividend program is set at a 6% annual rate for 2010, payable 1.5% per quarter. Shareholders who owned our common stock at the end of each our fiscal quarters for 2010, were entitled to a stock dividend of 1.5% of our common stock they own on the applicable record dates.  Any future dividends, stock or cash, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.  Our 2010 stock dividend program should not be taken as an indication we will have stock or cash dividends in any future quarters or years.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION





Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements





The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report. Portions of this document that are not statements of historical or current fact are forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this annual report should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this annual report. From time to time, we may publish forward-looking statements relative to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this section or elsewhere in this report are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.





You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly in the Section titled Risk Factors.





Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.  Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.  You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.





Critical Accounting Policies




The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:




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. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.




Revenue Recognition




As the Company is continuing exploration of its mineral properties, no significant revenues have been earned to date. The Company recognizes revenues at the time of delivery of the product.  Revenue includes sales value received for our principle product, gold, and associated by-product revenues from the sale of by-product metals consisting primarily of gold. Revenue is recognized when title to gold passes to the buyer and when collectability is reasonably assured. The passing of title to the customer is based on terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets for example, the London Bullion Market, an active and freely traded commodity market, for both gold and silver, in an identical form to the product sold.




Pursuant to guidance in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition for Financial Statements", revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain and collectability is probable. The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets, for example the London Bullion Market for both gold and silver, in an identical form to the product sold.

  Mine Exploration and Development Costs
  All exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are capitalized after proven and probable reserves have been identified. Amortization is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces.
  Mineral Properties
  Significant payments related to the acquisition of mineral properties, mineral rights, and mineral leases are capitalized. If a commercially mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If no commercially mineable ore body is discovered, or such rights are otherwise determined to have no value, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value.
  Property Evaluations
  Management of the Company will periodically review the net carrying value of its properties on a property-by-property basis. These reviews will consider the net realizable value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has occurred and the need for any asset write-down. An impairment loss will be recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result from the use of an asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Measurement of an impairment loss will be based on the estimated fair value of the asset if the asset is expected to be held and used.
  Although management will make its best estimate of the factors that affect net realizable value based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near term which could adversely affect management's estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from its assets, and necessitate asset impairment write-downs.
  Mineral property rights
  All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property rights are capitalized. Exploration costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, at which time subsequent exploration costs and the costs incurred to develop a property are capitalized. The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral property rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2010, management has determined that no impairment loss is required.
  At such time as commercial production may commence, depletion of each mining property will be provided on a unit-of-production basis using estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves as the depletion base. In cases where there are no proven or probable reserves, depletion will be provided on the straight-line basis over the expected economic life of the mine.
  Share-Based Compensation
  The Company applies Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs.  The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted.
  
 Summary Overview
 
 We are a company involved in the exploration of natural minerals at several locations, which we own some or all of the minerals rights to explore.  As discussed above, we own two material and two non-material properties.  To date, we have conducted exploratory activities at several of these locations but have not located or excavated any minerals from the properties, other than samples, and have not derived any revenues from our current business operations and have never had any revenues.

 ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - continued
  Summary Overview - continued
  Plan of Operation
  As of the date of this Annual Report, we have serious concerns as to whether we have, and will have, sufficient cash flow to continue to operate for the next twelve months if we are not successful in obtaining financing.  We will apply any proceeds from gold or other mineral sales generated from our activities at the properties to help cover our exploration expenditures, but we anticipate that our projected expenditures will far exceed any proceeds from those sales over the next twelve months, which will require that we obtain substantial financing in order for us to pursue our current plan of operations.  We are looking for both public and private sources of financing.  There can be no assurance, however, that we can obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, if at all.  If we do not achieve the necessary financing, then we will not be able to proceed with our planned exploration activities, which would materially adversely effect our financial condition, business prospects and results of operations.
 
 For our exploration activities at the properties, we will evaluate the results from future drilling programs and the current surface sampling at the properties.  We are determining the optimal method for determining if mineral reserves exist at the locations.  At the same time, we are evaluating other minerals opportunities with a view to diversifying our activities through the acquisition of additional mineral rights and entering into other business ventures our Management believes will provide value to our shareholders.  We are not currently in active negotiations with any third parties regarding additional mineral rights opportunities or expanding into other business ventures.
 
 Change in Employees
 
 We do not have any plans to change our number of employees in the foreseeable future.  We plan to continue to utilize independent contractors for the exploration activities, located possible new mineral rights opportunities, and for some of our general business affairs.
 
 Explanatory Paragraph in Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Report
 
 Our independent accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their most recent report, stating that our audited financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009, were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  They note that we have not yet generated significant revenues, that we have an accumulated working capital deficit, and that there are no assurances that we will be able to meet our financial obligations in the future.
 
 Background
 
 We were originally incorporated under the name Plae, Inc., in the State of Arizona on August 20, 1999.  At the time we operated under the name Plae, Inc., no business was conducted.   No books or records were maintained and no meetings were held.   In essence, nothing was done after incorporation until Glenn E. Martin took possession of Plae, Inc.  On February 18, 2005, the corporate name was changed to King Mines, Inc. and then subsequently changed to its current name, United Mines, Inc., on March 30, 2005.   No shares were issued until the company became United Mines, Inc.
 
 We are a mineral exploration stage company and have been in the mining industry since January 2005, when we began doing business in the mining industry.  An exploration stage company is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage.  We currently own four groups of mining claims.  These groups include one primary silver exploration stage mining project, seven gold exploration stage mining projects, three copper exploration stage projects, and one placer gold exploration stage project, all in Arizona, USA.  To date we have no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on any of the properties we own or where we have mineral rights. Further exploration, at a significant cost to us, will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the properties is determined.  If this evaluation determines that some of the properties do have mineral deposits we will have to spend substantial funds for their drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit (a reserve).

  ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - continued
  Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009
 
 Introduction
  Our business operations for the year ended 2010 versus 2009 are very similar, reflecting our status as a company that owns several mining properties, but is only in the exploration stage engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves, and we are not in either the development or production stage.  While we had no revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, we incurred significant operating costs due to our acquisition of certain mining rights and therefore we continue to operate at a substantial loss.
 
 Revenues, Expenses and Loss from Operations
  We had no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.  Our general and administrative expenses, other expenses, and net loss for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the period since our inception (August 20, 1999) through December 31, 2010, respectively, are as follows:

 As noted above, we did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, or since our inception on August 20, 1999.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, we do not anticipate any revenues from our current 100% owned mining properties.
 
 Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010, consisted of general and administrative expenses of $420,543, sales and marketing expenses of $40,187, depreciation and amortization of $1,760, and exploration expenses of $31,654.  Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010, consisted of:compensation to officers, directors and consultants of $31,200 (paid all in stock, valued at $2.50 per share), mine claim maintenance of $34,650, and mining fees of  $5,599, and other miscellaneous expenses such as postage and delivery, telephone, auto and office support staff.  Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, consisted of general and administrative expenses of $734,987, sales and marketing expenses of $27,382, and depreciation and amortization of $1,760.  Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, consisted of: compensation to officers, directors and consultants of $598,000 (paid all in stock, valued at $2.50 per share), mine claim maintenance of $34,650 and mining fees of $5,599, and other miscellaneous expenses such as postage and delivery, telephone, auto and office support staff.
 
 Our operating expenses and corresponding net loss were almost double in 2010 compared to 2009.  This is for several reasons.  First, during 2010 we issued a total 220,000 shares of our common stock to our officers and directors, and 19,200 shares of our common stock to consultants, for compensation.  Because of the price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, these shares were valued at $2.50 per share, for a total value of $598,000, which is reflected in our general and administrative expenses for 2010. Prior to 2010 our share price was calculated at $.50 per share.  These shares are restricted in accordance with Rule 144 and not immediately tradable.  In 2010, our expenses included exploration expenses of $99,093, which is the first time since our inception we have separated out our exploration expenses.  These expenses related to our 3 Arizona state exploration permits from the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD).  We had exploration expenses related to the inception of mining activity that began late in 2008 and followed through 2009.
 
 Our net loss for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $494,144 and $831,569, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net loss was the result of our operating expenses plus $3,500 in interest expense.  For the year ended December 31, 2009 our net loss consisted of our operating expenses plus $3,500 in interest expense.  As noted above, the significant increase in our net loss for 2010 is primarily a result of the value placed on the shares of our common stock we issued consultants and our officers and directors, as well as our first exploration expenses.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Introduction
  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Cash totaled $1,123 and $28,097 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
 Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are as follows:

 Cash Requirements
 
 We have very little cash available as of December 31, 2010.  It is very unlikely we will generate any measurable revenues from our operations in 2011, even if we begin exploration.  And even if we do it will not be sufficient revenue to fund our operations. Therefore, we must rely on raising money in private offerings of our common stock during 2011, or on loans from our officers and directors.  If we are not successful in raising funds through private offerings of our common stock, two of our principals, Glenn Martin, our President, and Nicole Breen, our Secretary and Treasurer, have committed to put in up to $25,000 per quarter as necessary to pay for our necessary business expenses for at least the next twelve months.  On October 1, 2008, Mr. Martin and Ms. Breen, agreed to loan us up to $100,000, interest free and unsecured, as needed, during the twelve months ending September 30, 2009, with any amounts loaned due to be paid back one year from the date the money is given to us.  As of December 31, 2008, we had $49,600 in advances from Mr. Martin and Ms. Breen.  Under the loan agreement, through August 15, 2009, Ms. Breen had loaned us $83,970, and Mr. Martin had loaned us $23,065, for a total of $107,035.  After August 15, 2009, we repaid the full amount owing to Mr. Martin, and repaid Ms. Breen $35,500, leaving a balance owed to Ms. Breen of $48,470.  These loans are pursuant to an oral agreement between Mr. Martin, Ms. Breen and our company.  This agreement was ratified by our Board of Directors.  However, we will require additional capital over and above $25,000 per quarter to get our business operating at full strength and while we hope to raise this capital through private offerings of our common stock, but we cannot be assured that such funding will be available.  Ms. Breen and Mr. Martin have both indicated they would be willing to loan us up to an additional $250,000 total on similar terms as the existing loans in the event it becomes necessary thru December 31st. 2010.
 
 Sources and Uses of Cash
 
 Operations
 
 We did not receive any cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We used $139,588 in cash for operating activities during this period, compared to $237,194 for the same period one year ago.  Our net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 consisted of a net loss of $497,644 and common stock cancelled of $18,750, offset by $345,047 in common stock issued for compensation, $26,500 in accounts payable, $3,500 in accrued liabilities, and $1,760 in depreciation and amortization.  Until we have operations we do not anticipate we will generate any cash from operating activities.  Until that time we believe this figure will be fairly indicative our cash generation and cash used for operations in a year period.

 ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - continued
 
 Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009 - continued
 
 On December 16th., 2010, we announced that we signed an investment Letter of Intent with major China investor group arranged by LehmanJones and Partners (Hong Kong) Ltd. Subsequently, this investment letter of intent was terminated and no further action is anticipated on this matter.
 
 Investments
 
 We used $5,000 to purchase equipment in the year ended December 31, 2010.  We did not use any cash for investment activities during the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
 Financing
 
 During the year ended December 31, 2010 we had $117,614 in cash provided by financing activities, compared to $253,865 for the same period one year ago.  Of our $117,614of cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, $47,500 was from the issuance of common stock, ($) in repayments of advances from affiliates, and $70,114from advances from affiliates, primarily from Glenn E. Martin and Nicole Breen as no interest loans to cover daily operational expenses.  We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will have to rely on money raised from the sale of our stock and from advances from our principals to pay our operating expenses.
 
 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
 We are exposed to market risks, which include interest rate risk and potentially the prices of commodities.  We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
 
 Interest Rate Risk. The interest payable on our long term debt is based on variable interest rates and therefore affected by changes in market interest rates.  In addition, there may be interest charged on our accounts payable, as well as interest we charge on our accounts receivable, depending on their age.  Typically these interest rates are fixed are not affected by changes in market interest rates.
 
 Commodity Prices. We are exposed to fluctuation in market prices for our raw materials.  To mitigate risk associated with increases in market prices and commodity availability, we negotiate contracts with favorable terms directly with vendors.  We do not enter into forward contracts or other market instruments as a means of achieving our objectives or minimizing our risk exposures on these materials.
 
 Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
 We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

 United Mines Inc.
 Tucson, Arizona
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of United Mines Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from August 20, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United Mines Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from August 20, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 The accompanying 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 accumulation of losses and shortage of capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
 NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
 The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona on August 20, 1999 ("Inception Date") as Plae, Inc. to engage in the exploration of gold and silver mining properties The Company has a calendar year end for reporting purposes. The Company is in the process of acquiring mineral properties or claims located in the State of Arizona, USA. The recoverability of amounts from the properties or claims will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying properties and/or claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property and/or claim agreements and to complete the development of the properties and/or claims, and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof. The name was changed on February 18, 2005 to King Mines, Inc. and then subsequently changed to its current name on March 30, 2005. No shares of common stock were issued until the Company became United Mines, Inc. The Company's corporate office is located at 11924 N Centaurus PI, Oro Valley, AZ 85737.
 
 NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN ISSUES
 
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has sustained losses from operations and no revenues from operations.  Through year ended December 31, 2010 the Company accumulated a net loss of $5,090,964.  Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds from private investors and the support of certain stockholders.
 
 These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.  In this regard, Management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
 
 The Company's ability to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, achievement of profitable operations and/or the discovery, exploration, development and sale of mining reserves. The Company cannot reasonably be expected to earn revenue in the exploration stage of operations. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
 
 NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Significant accounting policies are as follows:
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
 The Company has produced minimal revenue from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915-10 “Development Stage Entities”. The Company devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests that management believes will eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company’s existence. Until such interests are engaged in major commercial production, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the development stage.  Mining companies subject to this Topic are required to label their financial statements as an “Exploratory Stage Company,” pursuant to guidance provided by SEC Guide 7 for Mining Companies.
 
 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.  These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.  Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
 As the Company is continuing exploration of its mineral properties, no significant revenues have been earned to date. The Company recognizes revenues at the time of delivery of the product to the customers
 
 Revenue includes sales value received for our principle product, silver, and associated by-product revenues from the sale of by-product metals consisting primarily of gold and copper. Revenue is recognized when title to silver and gold passes to the buyer and when collectability is reasonably assured. The passing of title to the buyer is based on terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets (for example, the London Bullion Market, an active and freely traded commodity market for both gold and silver).
 
 Pursuant to guidance in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition for Financial Statements", revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain and collectability is probable. The passing of title to the customer is based on the terms of the sales contract. Product pricing is determined at the point revenue is recognized by reference to active and freely traded commodity markets, for example the London Bullion Market for both gold and silver, in an identical form to the product sold.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of year ended or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
 Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized thereon.  Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.
 
 The range of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
 
 Asset Category

Depreciation/

Amortization PeriodFurniture and Fixture

3 YearsOffice equipment

3 YearsLeasehold improvements

5 Years
 
 Mine Exploration and Development Costs
 
 All exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mine development costs are capitalized after proven and probable reserves have been identified.  Amortization is calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated recoverable mineral ounces.
 
 Mineral Properties
 
 Significant payments related to the acquisition of mineral properties, mineral rights, and mineral leases are capitalized.  If a commercially mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If no commercially mineable ore body is discovered, or such rights are otherwise determined to have no value, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value.

 Property Evaluations


Management of the Company will periodically review the net carrying value of its properties on a property-by-property basis. These reviews will consider the net realizable value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has occurred and the need for any asset write-down. An impairment loss will be recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result from the use of an asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset.  Measurement of an impairment loss will be based on the estimated fair value of the asset if the asset is expected to be held and used.
 
 Although management will make its best estimate of the factors that affect net realizable value based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near term which could adversely affect management's estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from its assets, and necessitate asset impairment write-downs.
 
 Reclamation and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)
 
 The Company had no operating properties at December 31, 2010, but the Company’s mineral properties will be subject to standards for mine reclamation that is established by various governmental agencies. For these non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value. Such costs are based on management's current estimate of amounts that are expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed within current laws and regulations.
 
 It is reasonably possible that due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination, application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, and changes in remediation technology, the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future. The Company continually reviews its accrued liabilities for such remediation and reclamation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation and reclamation liability has changed.
 
 The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the associated long-lived assets and depreciated over the lives of the assets on a units-of-production basis.  Reclamation costs are accreted over the life of the related assets and are adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate on the underlying obligation.
 
 Mineral Property Rights
 
 All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property rights are capitalized. Exploration costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, at which time subsequent exploration costs and the costs incurred to develop a property are capitalized.
 
 The Company management reviews the carrying values of its mineral property rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. As of December31, 2010, management has determined that no impairment loss is required.
 
 At such time as commercial production may commence, depletion of each mining property will be provided on a unit-of-production basis using estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves as the depletion base. In cases where there are no proven or probable reserves, depletion will be provided on the straight-line basis over the expected economic life of the mine.
 
 Asset Retirement Obligations
 
 The Company plans to recognize liabilities for statutory, contractual or legal obligations, including those associated with the reclamation of mineral and mining properties and any plant and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. Initially, a liability for an asset retirement obligation will be recognized at its fair value in the period in which it is incurred. Upon initial recognition of the liability, the corresponding asset retirement cost will be added to the carrying amount of the related asset and the cost will be amortized as an expense over the economic life of the asset using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, as appropriate. Following the initial recognition of the asset retirement obligation, the carrying amount of the liability will be increased for the passage of time and adjusted for changes to the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.

  The Company has posted reclamation bonds with the State of Arizona Reclamation Bond Pool for its properties as required by the United States Bureau of Land Management, to secure potential clean-up and land restoration costs if the projects were to be abandoned or closed. The Company has recorded the cost of these bonds as an asset in the accompanying balance sheets.
 
 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
 In accordance with ASC Topic 3605, “Long-Lived Assets,” such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no events or changes in circumstances that necessitated an impairment of long lived assets.
 Income Taxes
 
 Deferred income taxes are provided based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
 The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48; “Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes” - An Interpretation of ASC Topic 740 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At September30, 2010, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
 
 ASC 740 requires the consideration of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In evaluating the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence, giving greater weight to its recent cumulative losses and its ability to carry-back losses against prior taxable income and lesser weight to its projected financial results due to the challenges of forecasting future periods. The Company also considered, commensurate with its objective verifiability, the forecast of future taxable income including the reversal of temporary differences. The Company performed this evaluation as of the year ended December 31, 2009 and the quarter ended September30, 2010. At that time the Company continued to have sufficient positive evidence, including recent cumulative profits, a reduction in operating expenses, the ability to carry-back losses against prior taxable income and an expectation of improving operating results, showing a valuation allowance was not required. At the end of the quarter ended September30, 2010, changes in previously anticipated expectations and continued operating losses necessitated a valuation allowance against the tax benefits recognized in this quarter and prior quarters since they are no longer “more-likely-than-not” realizable. Under current tax laws, this valuation allowance will not limit the Company’s ability to utilize U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets provided it can generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S.
 
 The Company anticipates it will continue to record a valuation allowance against the losses of certain jurisdictions, primarily federal and state, until such time as we are able to determine it is “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax asset will be realized. Such position is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income to realize such deferred tax assets The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes in estimated taxable income or loss by jurisdiction, changes to the valuation allowance, changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws, future expansion into areas with varying country, state, and local income tax rates, deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction.

 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
 The Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks located in Arizona. Currently the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures accounts at each institution up to $250,000.
 
 Share-Based Compensation
 
 The Company applies FASB ASC Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs.  The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted.
 
 Earnings Per Share
 
 Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, because the effects of the additional securities, a result of the net loss would be anti-dilutive.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
 
 The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and related party payable, if any, approximate fair value.
 
 Reclassification
 
 Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.
 
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
  In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the Company in the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

  On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued guidance in the “Subsequent Events” topic of the FASC to provide updates including: (1) requiring the company to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued; (2) amending the glossary of the “Subsequent Events” topic to include the definition of “SEC filer” and exclude the definition of “Public entity”; and (3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance was prospectively effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations of financial condition.
 
 No other accounting standards or interpretations issued recently are expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
  The Company adopted ASC Topic 718, using a modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards in exchange for employee services. Under this application, the Company is required to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and unvested awards that were outstanding as of the date of adoption. ASC Topic 718 requires that stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized in expense over the requisite services period. Any subsequent changes in the market value of the underlying common stock are reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
  Common stock, stock options and warrants issued to other than employees or directors in exchange for services are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by ASC Topic 718, which is measured as of the date required by ASC Topic 505-50. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, the non-employee stock options or warrants are measured at their fair value as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (“performance commitment date”) or the date at which performance is complete (“performance completion date”).

 NOTE 5 – PURCHASE OF MINING RIGHTS
 
 On October 1, 2005 the Company purchased 23 mining claims and related assets from two then unrelated third parties in exchange for 3,600,000 common shares.  Since the sellers did not obtain majority ownership of the Company in the transaction it was accounted for as a purchase rather than a reverse merger.
 
 According to the FASB ASC Topic 845, transfers of nonmonetary assets to a company by its promoters or shareholders in exchange for stock prior to the company’s initial public offering normally should be recorded at the transferor’s historic cost basis determined under GAAP.  Since the sellers were unable to determine and document their historic cost as determined under GAAP, management elected to record the purchase at an investment of $100,000, the estimated scrap value of the equipment.
 
 Additionally, according to the SEC, Issues in Extractive Industries No. 1 “Recoverability of capitalized costs is likely to be insupportable under FASB ASC 944 prior to determining the existence of a commercially minable deposit, as contemplated by SEC Industry Guide 7 for a mining company in the exploration stage.  As a result, the staff would generally challenge capitalization of exploration costs, and believes that those costs should be expensed as incurred during the exploration state under US GAAP.”

 NOTE 6 – SHARE CAPITAL
 
 On August 20, 1999 the Company authorized 1,000,000 and amended is articles of incorporation in 2006 to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, at $.001 par value and 11,624,440  are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2010.
 
 2010
 
 During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued 25,000shares of common stock for management services  for the fair value of the services rendered by consultants and expensed $62,500.  The Company also cancelled 37,500 shares of common stock which resulted in a reduction to previously recognized consulting expenses of $18,750.  The Company issued 20,000 shares for prepaid services of $65,000 for Edgar services, and 100,000 shares were for consulting services of $269,213.  The issuance of stock for consulting services consideration to consultants, management, and the Board of Directors was for the fair value at the services rendered.  The value of those shares is normally determined based on the value of the stock at the dates on which the agreements entered into for the services.  The Company further issued 6,000 shares for the purchase of a company van valued at $15,000 and issued a total of 505,843 in common stock dividends over the course of the year.
 
 2009
 
 During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares for $250,000. The warrants are exercisable at $2.50 per share and expire September 26, 2010.  Since the warrants were issued as part of an equity transaction, the warrant value was not bifurcated from the common stock value.  The company also issued 19,200 common stock for compensation to consultants for the fair value of the services rendered and issued 220,000 common stock for compensation to Management and the Board of Directors for the fair value of the services rendered for a total value of $598,000.

The value of those shares is normally determined based on the value of the stock at the dates on which the agreements entered into for the services.   However the Company did not have a trading value.  The Company valued the issues of stock for services and based on the value of the cash received for stock in other private placements.  The Company valued the non-cash based on the fair value of the goods and services since there was no reliable fair value of the equity instruments issued in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

FASB ASC Topic 718 requires that the cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements over the vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
 
 NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 The Company may enter into various consulting agreements with outside consultants. Certain of these agreements may include additional compensation on the basis of performance.
 
 NOTE 9– NOTES PAYABLE
 
 On December 7, 2007 the Company issued a 10% note payable to the Lebrecht Group, PC for services rendered related to the registration of certain securities of the Company.  The note and accrued interest were due December 7, 2008 and at the option of the holder payable in full on the maturity date or in 12 monthly payments beginning on the maturity date.  The note and accrued interest are convertible to common shares at any time at the option of the holder at 75% of the average closing bid price on the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion.  Management estimates, as of December 31, 2010that 20,000 shares may be issued if this conversion feature is exercised.
 
 NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
 The Company is managed by its key shareholders who are also officers and directors of the Company.  The balance of advances from our key shareholders for cash advanced to the Company as of December 31, 2010 is $118,584and $48,470 at December 31, 2009.  These advances do not convert to common stock and they are non interest bearing advances and the imputed interest is immaterial to the company.
 
 An entity affiliated with two of the shareholders provides office space and other support on a month to month basis.   An officer and the above mentioned affiliated entity have also been paid $14,425 in cash for executive salaries and wages for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 NOTE 11 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
 Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is the same as basic loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the following potential shares of common stock that would have been issuable have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effects, as a result of our net loss, would be anti-dilutive.

 Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
  As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process that is designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  i. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
 ii. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures recorded by us are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors; and
 
 iii. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
 
 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

 Board Meetings and Committees
 
 During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors met 9 times and took written action on several other occasions.  All the members of the Board attended the meetings.  The written actions were by unanimous consent
 
 Indemnification of Officers and Directors
 
 Article IX of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders. In addition, the corporation shall have the power, in its bylaws or in any resolution of its stockholders or directors, to indemnify the officers and directors of the corporation against any liability as may be determined to be in the best interests of this corporation and in conjunction therewith, to buy, at the corporation’s expense, policies of insurance.
 
 Article 9 of our bylaws further addresses indemnification in the same manner as our Articles of Incorporation. There are no resolutions of our shareholders or directors which address indemnification.
 
 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
  Code of Ethics
 
 We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and ethics. We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. The code of conduct and ethics reflects our values and the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment. The code of conduct and ethics satisfies SEC rules for a “code of ethics” required by Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Stock Exchange rules for a “code of conduct and ethics.” A form of the code of conduct and ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to the Annual Report
