NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

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 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 September 30, 2009 the Company accumulated a net loss of $3,913,684. 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 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

NOTE 4 – 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 the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Topic 26 “Accounting and Reporting by Exploration State Enterprises”.

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.

Exploration Stage Enterprise

The Company's financial statements are prepared pursuant to the provisions of Topic 26, “Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests that 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 Topic 26 are required to label their financial statements as an “Exploratory Stage Company,” pursuant to guidance provided by SEC Guide 7 for Mining Companies.

Revenue Recognition

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 collectibility 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 Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "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 collectibility 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 Period
Furniture and Fixture		3 Years
Office equipment		3 Years
Leasehold 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 September 30, 2009, but the Company’s mineral properties will be subject to standards for mine reclamation that are 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 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 September 30, 2009, 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 360, 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 annually. 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 ASC Topic 740; "Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes-An Interpretation Of ASC Topic 740 ("Topic 740"). Topic 740 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 September 30, 2009, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks in Oro Valley, Arizona. The Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures accounts at each institution up to $250,000.

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.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share for the Company is the same as basic net loss per share, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. At September 30, 2009 the common stock equivalents consisted of no options and no common stock warrants.

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 approximate fair value due to their most maturities.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes.

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 September 2009, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for registrants. The discussion below includes the applicable ASC reference.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 810-10 Consolidation (formerly SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51) effective January 2, 2009. Topic 810-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (formerly referred to as a minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The presentation changes are reflected retrospectively in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASC Topic 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) was adopted by the Company effective January 2, 2009. The guidance under Topic 815-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 825-10 Financial Instruments (formerly, FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments), which requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of Topic 825-10. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009.

In April 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10-65 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly). The standard provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Topic 820-10-65 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate if a transaction is not orderly. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009 with no impact on its financial statements.

The Company adopted, ASC Topic 855-10 Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS 165, Subsequent Events) effective April 1, 2009. This pronouncement changes the general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.

In June 2009, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 167, Amending FASB interpretation No. 46(R), which was included in ASC Topic 810. The provisions of ASC 810 amend the definition of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and will require the Company to make an assessment each reporting period of its variable interests. The provisions of this pronouncement are effective January 1, 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of the statement on its financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 codified all previously issued accounting pronouncements, eliminating the prior hierarchy of accounting literature, in a single source for authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168, now ASC Topic 105-10 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an effect on the financial statements.

Updates issued but not yet adopted

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which clarifies, among other things, that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity must measure fair value using one or more specified techniques. The Company adopted the pronouncement effective July 1, 2009 with no impact on its financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which revises the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance and changes the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element revenue arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting, modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables and expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 31, 2010. The Company does not expect the pronouncement to have a material effect on its financial statements.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company has fixed assets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 as follows:

	June 30, December 31,
	2009			2008

Equipment	$	5,282		$	5,282
Accumulated depreciation		(4,110	)		(2,790	)

Total	$	1,172		$	2,492

NOTE 6 – 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 SEC SAB Topic 5G, “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 944 prior to determining the existence of a commercially minable deposit, as contemplated by 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 7 – SHARE CAPITAL

On August 20, 1999 the Company authorized 1,000,000 and amended is Articles of Incorporation in 2006 to authorize 100,000,000 shares of common stock, at $.001 par value, and 10,692,597 are issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2009

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 41,200 shares of common stock for $103,000. The company issued 5,500 for payment of debt and 3,000 common stock for compensation to consultants for the fair value of the services rendered. The value of those shears is determined based on the value of the stock at the dates on which the agreements were entered into for services and the value of the services rendered.

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 that 20,000 shares may be issued if this conversion feature is exercised.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the 25% discount to market related to the conversion feature has been reported as a component of additional paid in capital. Additionally, since this represents a prepayment for services related to a future public offering, management has elected to offset the cost to future capital raised as a result of the offering, if any.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

The provision (benefit) for income taxes from continued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 consist of the following:

	September 30,
	2009			2008
Current:
Federal	$	-		$	-
State		-			-

Deferred:
Federal	$	24,243		$	34,878
State		7,052			10,146

Benefit from the operating loss carryforward		(31,295	)		(45,024	)

(Benefit) provision for income taxes, net	$	-		$	-

The difference between income tax expense computed by applying the federal statutory corporate tax rate and actual income tax expense is as follows:

	September 30,
	2009			2008

Statutory federal income tax rate		34.0	%		34.0	%
State income taxes and other		8.9	%		8.9	%
Valuation Allowance		(42.9	)%		(42.9	)%

Effective tax rate		-			-

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for the financial reporting purposes and for tax purposes. The tax effect of these temporary differences representing deferred tax asset and liabilities result principally from the following:

	September 30,
	2009			2008

Net operating loss carryforward		31,295			45,024
Valuation allowance		(31,295	)		(45,024	)

Deferred income tax asset	$	-		$	-

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $3,913,684 available to offset future taxable income through 2028.

The Company recognized an income tax provision of $31,295 and $45,024 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, despite losses before taxes. The year-to-date provision is primarily due to the recording of a valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009. The valuation allowance was recorded at the end of the third quarter of 2009 to reduce certain U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets to their anticipated realizable value.

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, 2008 and the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. At that time the Company determined that a valuation allowance was required. At the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2009, 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.

NOTE 11 – LOSSES PER SHARE

The following table represents the computation of basic and diluted losses per share at September 30, 2009 and 2008:

	September 30,			September 30,
	2009			2008

Losses available for common shareholders		(78,355	)		(112,728	)

Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		(0.01	)		(0.04	)

Basic and Fully Diluted loss per share		10,648,359			10,174,797

Net loss per share is based upon the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding

NOTE 12 - 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 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is managed by its key shareholders who are also officers and directors of the Company. The balance of notes payable to our key shareholders for cash advanced to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is $84,525 and $50,165 at December 31, 2008. These advances do not convert to common stock and they are non interest bearing advances.

An entity affiliated with two of the shareholders provides office space and other support on a month to month basis. The entity has been reimbursed with both stock and cash.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Effective on September 25, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a single non-affiliate investor to purchase (i) 60,000 shares of our commons stock, and (ii) warrants to buy another 100,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share, in exchange for aggregate consideration of $150,000. The purchase will take place in three different closings on the 10th of each of October, November, and December 2009. The warrants will vest on the first closing. The first payment was made in early October. The issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the investor was accredited.

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

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q of United Mines, Inc. (referred to herein as “UMI”, “we,” “us” or “Company”) for the three months ended September 30, 2009, contains forward-looking statements, principally in this Section and “Business.” Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar terms. These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation of belief will be accomplished.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in this filing, as well as any cautionary language in our annual report on Form 10-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully develop new products; the ability to obtain financing for product development; changes in product strategies; general economic, financial and business conditions; changes in and compliance with governmental healthcare and other regulations; changes in tax laws; and the availability of key management and other personnel.

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. 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 an exploration stage mineral exploration 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). We obtained our properties as follows:

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).

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. 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 89 Unpatented Bureau of Land Management (BLM) mining claims in Southern Arizona, USA, totaling 1,840 acres. These claims are renewable annually for $140 per claim and currently paid through August 31, 2009. (See Exhibit 99.1 Mining Claim Ledger 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, 2010. (Exhibit 99.2 ASLD Mineral Exploration Permits).

For a full description of the properties where we have mineral rights see Amendment No. 4 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on June 5, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make certain 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

As such, in accordance with the use of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, our actual realized results may differ from management’s initial estimates as reported. A summary of significant accounting policies are detailed in notes to the financial statements which are an integral component of this filing.

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 collectibility 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.

Revenues

We did not have any revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 or September 30, 2008. To date we have funded the business through sales of our common stock and from loans from our officers and directors. If we are not successful in raising funds through the offering described herein, 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.

Total Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009, consisted of general and administrative expenses of $54,543, sales and marketing expenses of $2,030, depreciation and amortization of $440, and exploration expenses of $20,460. Our general and administrative expenses consisted of mining claim maintenance, postage and delivery, transfer agent fees, auto and office support staff. Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008, consisted of general and administrative expenses of $39,377, sales and marketing expenses of $889, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $88. We had no exploration expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008, consisted of mining claim maintenance, postage and delivery, transfer agent fees, auto and office support staff. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were higher than those for the three months ended September 30, 2008, due to reimbursement for past due amounts to auditor, legal, accounting, EDGAR services and repayment of debt.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was ($78,355), compared to ($43,376) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 our net loss consisted of operating losses of ($77,473) and interest expense of ($882). For the three months ended September 30, 2008 our net loss consisted of operating expenses of ($40,314) and interest expense of $3,062. As noted above, our total operating expenses for the period ended September 30, 2009, were more than those for the period ended September 30, 2008, leading to the difference in our net loss for the two periods.

Results of Operation for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

Revenues

We did not have any revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 or September 30, 2008, nor have we had any since our inception on August 20, 1999. To date we have funded the business through sales of our common stock and from loans from our officers and directors. If we are not successful in raising funds through the offering described herein, 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.

Total Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, consisted of general and administrative expenses of $96,421, sales and marketing expenses of $3,826, depreciation and amortization of $1,320, and exploration expenses of $51,147. Our general and administrative expenses consisted of legal, accounting, auditor, EDGAR service fees, mining claim maintenance, postage and delivery, transfer agent fees, auto and office support staff. Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consisted of general and administrative expenses of $356,804, sales and marketing expenses of $9,286, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $616. We did not have any exploration expenses during this period. Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consisted of mining claim maintenance, postage and delivery, transfer agent fees, auto and office support staff. Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were significantly lower than those for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due to us not issuing stock for services during the period ended September 30, 2009, which we had done during the same period one year earlier.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was ($155,432), compared to ($375,893) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For both periods our net loss consisted entirely of our operating expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 our net loss consisted of operating losses of ($152,813) and interest expense of ($2,618). For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 our net loss consisted of operating expenses of ($366,706) and interest expense of ($9,187). As noted above, our total operating expenses for the period ended September 30, 2009, were significantly less than those for the period ended September 30, 2008, leading to the difference in our net loss for the two periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Cash totaled $5,467 and $11,427 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are as follows:

	As of September 30, 2009		As of December 31, 2008		Change

Cash	$	5,467	$	11,427	$	(5,960	)
Total Current Assets		40,467		46,977		(6,510	)
Total Assets		153,138		160,968		(7,830	)
Total Current Liabilities		125,634		94,033		31,601
Total Liabilities	$	125,634	$	94,033	$	31,601

Cash Requirements

We have very little cash available as of September 30, 2009. If we are not successful in raising funds through the sale 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. 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 Ms. Breen. From January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009, Ms. Breen loaned us an additional $25,870 and Mr. Martin loaned us $20,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, Ms. Breen has loaned us a total of $84,525. The loans from Mr. Martin were repaid during the third quarter. These loans are pursuant to an oral agreement between Mr. Martin, Ms. Breen and the 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 with either a bridge loan or through the sale 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.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operations

We did not receive any cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We used ($143,320) in cash for operating activities during this period, compared to ($139,129) for the same period one year ago. The principal components of the increased net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were: (a) a net loss of ($155,432), (b) accrued liabilities of ($2,209), (c) common stock issued for compensation of $13,001, and (d) depreciation and amortization of $1,320. Until our operations grow we do not anticipate we will generate significant 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 nine month period. Our net cash used in operating activities was ($514,324) for the period from August 20, 1999 (inception) through September 30, 2009.

Investments

We did not have any provided by (used in) investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008. For the period from August 20, 1999 (inception) to September 30, 2009, our net cash provided by (used in) investment activities was ($16,784) and related to the purchase of intangible assets and deposits.

Financing

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had $137,360 in cash provided by financing activities, compared to $87,410 for the same period one year ago. For the 2009 period our net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $103,000 in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and $34,360 in advances from affiliates. For the 2008 period our net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $98,050 in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and $3,000 in advances from affiliates. 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.

Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants

We have no disclosure required by this Item.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. However, we opted to include the following information.

The only financial instruments we hold are cash and cash equivalents.

ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2009, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in Item 4T.

(b) Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:

•	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets;


•	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and


•	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. 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 or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management has identified the following two material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1. We have not documented our internal controls. We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

2. We do not have an independent Board of Directors or audit or compensation committees. Management is aware that an audit committee composed of the requisite number of independent members along with a qualified financial expert has not yet been established. Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support an independent audit committee and the limited number of transactions, Management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of an independent audit committee are not justified. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

3. We are not adequately segregating our duties. Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Quarterly Report.

Being aware of these material weaknesses our management will be vigilant about ensuring they do not affect our reporting obligations and will seek to remedy these issues when it is financially feasible to do so.

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. However, we did include risk factors in our Amendment No. 4 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on June 5, 2009. The following are updated or new risk factors since the time of that filing:

We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease activities.

We were incorporated in August 20, 1999 and we have not started our proposed business activities or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss was $3,913,684 from inception to September 30, 2009. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

·	our ability to locate a profitable mineral property

·	our ability to generate revenues

·	our ability to reduce exploration costs.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease activities.

Because we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board instead of an exchange or national quotation system, our investors may have a tougher time selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our stock.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin is often highly illiquid. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTC Bulletin Board as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

ITEM 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.

There have been no events which are required to be reported under this Item.

ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There have been no events required to be reported under this Item.
