CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Oro East Mining, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expects”, “plans”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our market opportunity, our strategies, competition, expected activities and expenditures as we pursue our business plan, and the adequacy of our available cash resources. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Actual results may differ materially from the predictions discussed in these forward-looking statements. The economic environment within which we operate could materially affect our actual results. Additional factors that could materially affect these forward-looking statements and/or predictions include, among other things: the volatility of minerals prices, the possibility that exploration efforts will not yield economically recoverable quantities of minerals, accidents and other risks associated with mineral exploration and development operations, the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipated geological factors, the Company’s need for and ability to obtain additional financing, the possibility that the Company may not be able to secure permitting and other governmental clearances necessary to carry out the Company’s exploration and development plans, the exercise of the approximately 81.2% control the Company’s voting securities the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Tian Qing Chen, holds, other factors over which we have little or no control; and other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our management has included projections and estimates in this Form 10-Q, which are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the SEC or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

ORO EAST MINING, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments for a fair statement of the results and operations and financial position for the interim periods presented have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The September 30, 2014 interim consolidated financial statements presented herein may not be indicative of the results of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on April 9, 2014.
(b) Stock Split
A twenty-for-one forward stock split was effected on June 12, 2014. All share and per share information has been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,908,671 and a negative working capital of $1,811,021 at September 30, 2014. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by equity and debt financing and/or related party advances, but there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE
A summary of the short-term notes payable is as follows:

Business Overview
The Company’s primary business focus at present is the development of its three substantial piles of crushed gold ores at an aggregate mine in Carson Hill, California (the “Carson Hill Project”) owned and managed by the Company’s privately held subsidiary, Oro East Mariposa, LLC, a California limited liability company. The real property that the crushed gold ores and Carson Hill Project is situated on is owned by Sutton Enterprises, located on the south side of Highway 49 in the central Sierra foothills of Calaveras County. The Company, through Oro Eat Mariposa, LLC has obtained a right of entry and access to the crushed ores, which are personal property now owned by Oro East Mariposa, LLC.
On July 7, 2014, the Company completed a shipment of 15 tons of gold concentrates to Royal Asset Management (“RAM”), an Abu Dhabi based asset management company held by His Highness Shaikh Saqer Al Nahyan and royal family. RAM remains one of OROE’s top buyers. The RAM shipment marks an important nascent milestone for the Carson Hill Gold Project. The success of the pilot test phase bodes well for the Company’s continued expansion of its current gold stockpile operations.
On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a promissory note for the sum of $800,000.00 with an undisclosed foreign investor at a 15% interest rate and maturation date of February 1, 2015. The sum was used to pay off the $1,000,000.00 loan advanced by Royal Asset Management Company (“RAM”) that the Company previously entered into on or about May 6, 2014.
Also on August 1, 2014, the Company’s Philippine-based subsidiary, Oro East Mining Greentech Philippines, Inc. in Makati City, entered into a settlement and release with ERT Holding, Inc., whereas ERT Holding, Inc. was given legal title to certain mining equipment and machinery held by Oro East Mining Greentech Philippines in accord and satisfaction of all previous debts.
On September 8, 2014, Rex Yuen, Chief Financial Officer of Oro East Mining, Inc. (“Company”) resigned from his position at the Company. The Company issued a press release on September 8, 2014 announcing Mr. Yuen’s departure.
On September 24, 2014, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Central Valley Water Board (“Water Board”) approved Oro East’s Carson Hill Mining Waste Reclassification Project in a memorandum issued by the Water Board. The waste management unit stockpiles of gold concentrates (WMUs) at Carson Hill, one of the Company’s current gold production projects, consist of spent gold ore currently classified by the Water Board as “Group B mining waste.” Group B mining waste is considered hazardous or to contain soluble pollutants that exceed water quality objectives. Under Oro East’s Reclassification Project, the spent gold ore would be processed into waste that qualifies for a reclassification to “Group C mining waste.” Group C mining waste fully complies with water quality objectives and therefore fundamentally transforms the gold production process at Carson Hill into a green, environmentally-friendly, and sustainable process.
On October 22, 2014, the Company met with Guo Neng Rong Ding Beijing, also known as the Scientific Development Company, a Chinese corporation specializing in gold refining processing, to commence discussions about a prospective joint venture between the parties. The terms of that discussion were memorialized in a letter of intent, which proposed joint collaborative efforts in launching a new private corporation that would build gold refining systems. Specifically, these systems would be provided by Scientific Development Co. and set up for testing at the Company’s Carson Hill site to process the Company’s stockpiles of ore concentrates. The letter of intent reflects an agreement between the parties to work in good faith toward finalizing a contract by the end of November, 2014.
On October 24, 2014, after months of non-activity due to natural disasters in the area, the Company made the decision to dissolve all business activity in the Philippines, specifically its MPSA 184-XI project. Dissolution of Philippine subsidiaries shall take place in the subsequent months, along with wind-up of all business assets. The Company projects the dissolution and wind-up of the MPSA 184-XI project to conclude by the end of December, 2014.
