Shoshone Silver Mining Company (an Exploration Stage Company)

Condensed Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Shoshone Silver Mining Company (an Exploration Stage Company) (“the Company” or “Shoshone”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 4, 1969, under the name of Sunrise Mining Company and was engaged in the business of mining. On January 22, 1970, the Company's name was changed to Shoshone Silver Mining Company. During 2003, the Company’s focus broadened to include resource management and sales of mineral and timber interests.

Beginning in fiscal 2000, the Company entered into an exploration stage. The Company has acquired several mining properties since entering the exploration stage.

The Company’s year-end is September 30^th.

Basis of Presentation

The foregoing unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on January 12, 2010.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2010.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes rely on the integrity and objectivity of the Company’s management. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Topic 820 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820) (previously SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”) ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and

- 8 -

---

expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 inputs — Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Investments in available-for-sale securities and investments in silver coins and bars and are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. For these investments, the Company obtains fair value from active markets.

The Company’s Note Receivable (net of discount) is reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The discounting of this note receivable utilized interest rates. See Note 6.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

					Fair Value Measurements
					At March 31, 2010, Using

					Markets for			Observable			Unobservable

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of $1,969,419 from inception through March 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity and fully implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to

- 9 -

---

the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Historically, the Company has generally funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of “available-for-sale” investments, royalty and option agreement payments, and from the sale of the Company’s common stock. Should the Company be unable to raise capital through any of these avenues, its business, financial position, results of operations and cash flow will likely be materially adversely impacted. As such, substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern remains as of the date of these financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. An estimated $1,000,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next twelve months. Currently, the Company anticipates raising the majority of the $1,000,000 through the issuance of common stock to private investors. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services, capital expenditures and revenues generated.

Notes Receivable

The Company’s policy for notes receivable is to continue accruing interest income until it becomes likely that the note is uncollectible. At that time, an allowance for bad debt would be established and interest would stop accruing.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its one wholly owned subsidiary, Lakeview Consolidated Silver Mines, Inc. The inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying ASC Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in Update 2010-01 are effective for interim and annual period ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted Update No. 2010-01 without a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 which provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that will provide more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective of interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect that the adoption of Update No. 2010-06 will have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

- 10 -

---

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of Shoshone’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND PREPAID EXPENSES

In December 2009, the Company purchased for $21,694 a one-year liability insurance policy covering its Lakeview mill (the “Policy”). The Policy was purchased with a cash payment of $5,761 with the balance of $15,933 settled with a promissory note. The Company recorded prepaid insurance of $21,694 and a related entry to record a $15,933 note payable. During the three- and six-month period ended March 31, 2010, $7,231 and $1,807, respectively, of this prepaid insurance was amortized into General & Administrative Expenses. See Note 9.

NOTE 4: SUPPLIES INVENTORY

During 2004, the Company purchased 500 one troy ounce silver medallions with the Company’s logo for $5,303. This purchase was recorded as supplies inventory and the medallions are expected to be used substantially for marketing purposes. During the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company sold six medallions and distributed four for marketing purposes. At March 31, 2009, the Company had 197 coins remaining in inventory with an historical cost basis of $2,084.

NOTE 5: PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation begins on the date an asset is placed in service using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life.

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are three to thirty-one and one-half years. The following is a summary of property, equipment, and accumulated depreciation at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009:

		March 31, 2010			September 30, 2009
Equipment	$	1,353,877		$	1,338,952
Lakeview Mill (Including Refurbishment)		1,588,243			1,588,243

Property, Plant & Equipment, net	$	1,949,024		$	2,011,302

- 11 -

---

Depreciation expense was $44,326 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and $30,006 for the comparable period last year.

Depreciation expense was $88,858 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010 and $57,608 for the comparable period last year.

Equipment with a combined cost of $19,390 serves as collateral for notes payable. See Note 9.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

NOTE 6: NOTES RECEIVABLE

Mexican Concessions

On August 11, 2008, the Company sold 100% of the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico, Shoshone Mexico, S.A. de C.V, to Xtierra Resources, Ltd (“Xtierra”). The Company’s interest in the Bilbao concessions in Zacatecas, Mexico was included in this sale. In exchange for its interest in the Bilbao concessions the Company received net proceeds of $2,497,990 and a non-interest bearing note receivable for $2,500,000.

The note does not bear interest and stipulates that a payment of $500,000 was due on August 11, 2009. The remaining balance of $2,000,000 is to be paid in four consecutive equal annual installments to begin at the time of the commencement of construction of any mine developed on the Bilbao concessions but in any event will be due and payable no later than August 11, 2019. Since the note does not bear interest, the Company imputed interest at a rate of 5%. Accordingly the Company recorded a note discount of $634,637. During the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, $18,233 and $36,466, respectively, of interest income was realized through the amortization of this note discount.

The balance on this note receivable (net of discount) was $1,501,175 at March 31, 2010.

NOTE 7: INVESTMENTS

The Company has invested in various privately and publicly held companies and silver coins and bars. At this time, the Company holds securities classified as available for sale. Amounts are reported at fair value as determined by quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately as a component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Unrealized gains and losses are recorded on the statements of operations as other comprehensive income (loss) and on the balance sheet as other accumulated comprehensive income.

The following summarizes the investments at March 31, 2010:

NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Issues

The Company is engaged in mineral mining and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of mining sites or other environmental restoration.

Although the minerals exploration and mining industries are inherently speculative and subject to complex environmental regulations, the Company is unaware, with the exception detailed below under the caption “Civil Action Filed”, of any pending litigation or of any specific past or prospective matters which could impair the value of its mining claims.

Civil Action Filed

On November 17, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) filed a civil action against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The civil action seeks recovery of funds paid by the EPA in response to alleged releases of hazardous substances at the Company’s Idaho Lakeview mine and mill site in Bonner County, Idaho. The Company and the EPA have reached an agreement whereby the Company will pay $50,000 and will not conduct activities on the minimal amount of ground that would disturb the cleanup work in place at the properties subject to the civil action. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a $50,000 liability related to this suit.

NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date that the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and management has determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the unaudited financial statements.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

This report contains forward-looking statements

From time to time, Shoshone and its senior managers have made and will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are contained in this report and may be contained in other documents that Shoshone files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such statements may also be made by Shoshone and its senior managers in oral or written presentations to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Also, forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements provide our expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. They are not guarantees of future performance. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. As such, our actual future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this report.

Plan of Operation

Effective September 30, 2008, we completed the refurbishment of the mill at our Lakeview property. The total capitalized cost of this refurbishment was $499,681 which began depreciating on October 1, 2008. Our primary plan of operations includes raising sufficient capital to restart operations at our Lakeview property. Due to the high costs of operating during the winter, we suspended operations at our Lakeview property. We intend to begin processing stockpiled ore at the Lakeview property during the three-month period ending June 30, 2010.

Also, we recently entered into an agreement to sell silver concentrate produced at our Lakeview property to a smelter for refining. We believe this agreement demonstrates our ability to generate revenue from our operations at our Lakeview property. Our long-term goal is to mine and mill both silver and gold.

On March 12, 2009, we acquired certain assets from Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. (“Kimberly”) in a transaction where the Company issued 12,145,306 shares of common stock and other consideration in exchange for 100% of Kimberly’s common stock. Included in this acquisition were 127 unpatented mining claims located primarily in Idaho and Washington as well as a mill in need of refurbishing and various pieces of equipment.

Work at the Rescue Mine will resume on June 1, 2010. The first priority is to finish upgrading and renovating the mill. Once the mill work is completed, the mill will be started up and test runs on stockpiled ore will be conducted. The 200 level portal is scheduled to be reopened so that mine development can resume. This work will require some ground support, general clean up, the installation of a refuge station and the addition of air and water lines. A new decline portal has been planned to access the Rescue vein 1,000 feet east of the mill. Road work, site preparation and collaring off for the new decline portal should be accomplished this summer. This new decline portal will provide access to unmined portions of the Rescue vein and, when completed, will serve as the secondary escape-way from the mine as well as the exhaust ventilation drift for the mine ventilation system.

Please refer to our discussion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern below for further details.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have had limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of 1,969,419 from inception through March 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity and fully implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.

Historically, we have generally funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of “available-for-sale” investments, royalty and option agreement payments, and from the sale of our common stock. Should we be unsuccessful in any of the initiatives or matters discussed above and unable to raise capital through future private placements, our business, and, as a result, our financial position, results of operations and cash flow will likely be materially adversely impacted. As such, substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern remains as of the date of these financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. An estimated $1,000,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next twelve months. Currently, we anticipate raising the majority of the $1,000,000 through the issuance of common stock to private investors. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services.

Overview of Operating Results

The decrease in the net loss during the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010, compared with the same periods last year was primarily due to decreases in virtually all administrative expenses. We reduced expenditures in the near term to align our operations with our sources of capital. This action primarily included the temporary cessation of operations at our Lakeview property, the temporary laying off of all employees starting in the month of March 2010 and across-the-board reductions in non-essential expenditures.

Operating Expenses

The decrease in operating expenses between both the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to decreased exploration expenses. In the prior year’s first quarter we incurred $140,527 in drilling expenses on our Lakeview property. Also contributing to the decrease in operating expenses for both 2010 periods was decreased payroll and payroll related expenses associated with the temporary laying off of all employees beginning in March 2010.

- 18 -

---

Other Income (Expenses)

The decrease in other income (expense) during both the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to our having three additional interest bearing notes receivable during most of the prior year’s six-month period. At varying times since the first quarter of 2009, these three notes have been settled in exchange for various assets.

Overview of Financial Position

At March 31, 2010, we had cash of $11,953 and current liabilities of $196,909. During the first six months of fiscal 2010, we received proceeds of $385,000 from the sale of 3,850,000 shares of our $0.10 par value common stock. These proceeds were used primarily to continue scaled back operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

At March 31, 2010, property, plant and equipment before accumulated depreciation totaled $3,412,850, an increase of $26,580 from $3,386,270 at September 30, 2009. The increase related primarily to land improvements and equipment purchases at its Rescue Gold Mine.

Investments

Our investment portfolio at March 31, 2010, was $163,236, a decrease of $103,702 from the September 30, 2009, balance of $266,938. This decrease was primarily due to falling share prices of the investments in our portfolio and, to a lesser extent, the sale of 250,000 shares of common stock and 1,682 ounces of silver.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our total stockholders’ equity was $5,639,885 at March 31, 2010, decrease of $74,912 from $5,714,797 at September 30, 2009. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due a net loss of $428,384 incurred during the six-month period ended March 31, 2010. Partially offsetting the net loss were the proceeds of $385,000 from the issuance of 3,850,000 shares of our common stock to twelve investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities
During the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, our operating activities used $401,324 and used $907,415 during the comparable period last year. This improvement was primarily the result of the realization of a net loss of $428,384 during the recent six-month period compared to a net loss of $833,502 realized last year. The reduction in net loss between the two periods was primarily due to the reduction of activities at our properties during the most recent six-month period.

Investing Activities
During the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, our investing activities provided $18,005 and used $279,044 during the same period last year. This improvement was primarily the result of $215,282 spent on fixed assets during the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to only $26,580 during the recent six-month period.

Financing Activities
During the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, our financing activities provided $371,706 and used $35,674 during the same period last year. This was primarily due to net proceeds of $385,000 received from the issuance of common stock during the six-month period this year, compared with none during the prior year’s six-month period.

Not applicable.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2010. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of business. In the opinion of management, our gross liability, if any, and without any consideration given to the availability of insurance or other indemnification, under any pending litigation or administrative proceedings, including that discussed below, would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 17, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) filed a civil action against us in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The civil action seeks recovery of funds paid by the EPA in response to alleged releases of hazardous substances at our Idaho Lakeview mine and mill site in Bonner County, Idaho. We and the EPA have reached an agreement whereby we will pay $50,000 and will not to conduct activities on the minimal amount of ground that would disturb the cleanup work in place at the properties subject to the civil action. Accordingly, we have recorded a $50,000 liability related to this suit.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
