PART II

ITEM 9A.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Shoshone Silver/Gold Mining Company’s management including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operating 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 September 30, 2012.  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.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Shoshone Silver Mining Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s 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 misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012, based on criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). During its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, the Company’s management identified the following as of September 30, 2012.


-3-
 
 
 

Based on the context in which these deficiencies occur, management concludes that the deficiencies in aggregate represent significant deficiencies in our control over financial reporting:

·
Inadequate segregation of duties over certain financial controls; and
·
One instance of a material contract that was executed and was not properly disclosed.

Taken together, these significant deficiencies represent a material weakness which is defined as a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of financial statements will not be presented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls. Accordingly, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2012. Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.

In the period following September 30, 2012, the Company has implemented initiatives aimed at addressing and removing these deficiencies.  We deem it important to note that a material weakness suggests that a misstatement could occur.  We also note that there were no instances of financial statement misstatement in the Company’s September 30, 2012 audited financial statements.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the period ended September 30, 2012,  there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During the period ended September 30, 2012, there was a structural change in the Company’s management, however, there was no change in internal control.
