PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:

United States Antimony Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

Certain consolidated financial statement amounts for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the net income or accumulated deficit as previously reported.

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred interest expense of $29,667 and $0, respectively, all of which has been capitalized as part of the cost of constructing the Puerto Blanco Mill in Mexico.

2. Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company's common stock and convertible preferred stock. Management has determined that the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, is not applicable since any additions to outstanding shares related to common stock purchase warrants would be anti-dilutive.

As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended				For the NineMonths Ended

4. Accounts Receivable and Due to Factor

The Company factors designated trade receivables pursuant to a factoring agreement with LSC Funding Group L.C., an unrelated factor (the “Factor”). The agreement specifies that eligible trade receivables are factored with recourse. We submit selected trade receivables to the factor, and receive 85% of the face value of the receivable by wire transfer. Upon payment by the customer, we receive the remainder of the amount due from the factor, less a one-time servicing fee of 2% for the receivables factored. This servicing fee is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations in the period of sale to the factor.

Trade receivables assigned to the Factor are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Under the terms of the recourse provision, the Company is required to reimburse the Factor, upon demand, for factored receivables that are not paid on time. Accordingly, these receivables are accounted for as a secured financing arrangement and not as a sale of financial assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s regular evaluation of individual customer’s receivables and consideration of a customer’s financial condition and credit history. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Interest is not charged on past due accounts.

We present the receivables, net of allowances, as current assets and we present the amount potentially due to the Factor as a secured financing in current liabilities.

Accounts receivable - non factored	$	255,320		$	1,299,575

Less allowance for doubtful accounts		(4,031	)		(7,600	)
Accounts receivable - net	$	491,735		$	1,438,564

5. Commitments and Contingencies:

In 2005, a subsidiary of the Company signed an option agreement that gives it the exclusive right to explore and develop the San Miguel I and San Miguel II concessions for an annual payment of $50,000, and an option to purchase payment of $100,000 annually. Total payments will not exceed $1,430,344, reduced by taxes paid. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, $0 and $186,956 respectively, was paid and capitalized as mineral rights in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.

United States Antimony Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Continued:

From time to time, the Company is assessed fines and penalties by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). Using appropriate regulatory channels, management may contest these proposed assessments. The Company has accrued $7,360 and $73,225 in other accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2012, and at December 31, 2011, respectively, related to such assessments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company negotiated a new credit facility increasing the Company’s lines of credit by $202,000. As part of this agreement, two $101,000 certificates of deposit were pledged as collateral. The increased loan facility allows us access to borrowings at an interest rate of 3.15% for the portion of the credit line used. At September 30, 2012, we did not have any outstanding line of credit debt.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED:

Revenues from antimony sales decreased by $676,000 and $659,000 for the third quarter and nine month periods of 2012, as compared to the same periods of 2011. The pounds of antimony produced and sold was down 59,600 lbs ($366,000) from the third quarter of 2011, while the sales were up 49,200 lbs ($300,000) from the nine month period one year ago. The sales price per pound was down $0.84 per lb ($312,000) from the same quarter one year ago, and down $0.76 per lb ($952,000) from the nine month period for the prior year. The pounds of product (raw material) from Mexico increased 11,627 lbs over the same quarter and 66,374 lbs over the nine months from one year ago. The flotation plant at Puerto Blanco is on line since early October of 2012, and we should see increased product from Mexico in the upcoming quarters. Non-production costs incurred in getting the Mexico plants in operation increased by $125,000 and $188,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2102, as compared to the same periods for 2011. We expect the non-production costs for Mexico to be substantial for the remainder of 2012 as production is being ramped up. Conversely, we will have more antimony products from Mexico to sell, and the cost of raw material per pound of antimony produced will decrease as we are able to work more raw materials from Mexico into our production. In addition, we expect to have increased revenue from precious metals as we process more of the raw materials supplied by our Mexico division. We contracted in July 2012 to install a natural gas pipeline for our Mexico smelter operation. Our fuel costs are our second largest expense after raw material in Mexico, and we are expecting the switch from propane to natural gas to decrease our Mexico fuel costs by 75%. We have spent $132,000 on the pipeline project as of September 30, 2012, and our projections are that the total cost will be approximately $1 million. We expect the pipeline to be completed in nine months.

We had sales of precious metals since 2009 as follows:

Silver/Gold	2009		2010		2011		2012 YTD
Ounces Gold Shipped		31.797		101.127		161.711		72.609
Ounces Silver Shipped		6,870.10		31,545.22		17,472.99		16,370.15

Zeolite sales decreased by approximately $3,000 and increased by approximately $558,000 for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, when compared to the same quarters from 2011. Zeolite sold in the third quarter of 2012 decreased by 559 tons ($132,000) from the tons sold the third quarter of 2011, but was up by 298 tons ($70,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The price per ton increased by $46 per ton ($129,000) and $56 per ton ($485,000) for the quarter and nine months periods ending September 30, 2012, when compared to the same quarters from 2011. The sales price per ton was better than the prior year’s sales price for both periods due to the cost of an additive for a customer. The cost of the additive was also was the primary reason that production costs were up $144,000 and $545,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the same quarters for 2011. We expect that the increase in the price per ton for both sales and production costs to continue through the remainder of the year.

Our general and administrative costs are significantly higher than the prior year, and management is aggressively seeking ways to bring this cost down. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred approximately $88,000 in one time charges related to our listing on the NYSE MKT stock exchange. Expenses for Directors’ fees were $81,753 and $0, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Current Assets	$	5,094,397		$	2,963,570
Current liabilities		(1,687,791	)		(1,972,026	)
Net Working Capital	$	3,406,606		$	991,544

Cash provided (used) by operations	$	482,560		$	564,041
Cash (used) by investing		(2,535,046	)		(2,239,441	)
Cash provided (used) by financing:
Principal paid on long-term debt		(147,095	)		(124,722	)
Sale of Stock		4,684,763			1,242,780
Other		(113,908	)		113,908
Net change in cash	$	2,371,274		$	(443,434	)

Our net working capital increased by approximately $2,415,000 million from December 31, 2011. This was primarily due to an increase of $482,000 in cash from operations, and $4,685,000 cash from the sale of restricted stock, versus $1,160,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase in cash from operating activities was largely due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $946,000, versus an increase of $123,000 for the same period in 2011. We spent $2,292,000 and $1,745,000 cash to purchase property, plant and equipment, primarily in Mexico. Other decreases to cash were for payments of accounts payable, checks issued but not cleared at end of year, and payments of long-term debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we issued $358,800 of stock to Directors for payment of the obligations to related parties accrued at December 31, 2011.We have estimated commitments for construction and improvements, including $750,000 for the natural gas pipeline, of approximately $1,500,000 over the next twelve months. We believe that with $2,376,000 of cash, along with future cash flow from operations, we have adequate liquid assets to meet our commitments and service our debt. We have lines of credit of $202,000 which have not been drawn on at September 30, 2012.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We sell our antimony products based on a world market price, and we buy a majority of our raw material based on the same market prices. Analysis of our costs indicate that, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012, raw materials were approximately 50% of our cost of goods sold. Most of our production costs are fixed in nature, and could not be decreased readily without decreasing our production. During the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2012, a $2 per pound decrease in our sales price would have likely caused our gross profit to decrease $1 per pound

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2012.

It was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures and, as a result of those weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2012. These material weaknesses are as follows:

●	The Company lacks proper segregation of duties. As with any company the size of ours, this lack of segregation of duties is due to limited resources. The president authorizes the majority of the expenditures and signs checks.

●	During its year-end audit, our independent registered accountants discovered material misstatements in our financial statements that required audit adjustments.

MANAGEMENT'S REMEDIATION INITIATIVES

We are aware of these material weaknesses and will develop procedures to ensure that independent review of material transactions is performed. We will develop internal control measures to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties as follows:

●	The CFO will review all bank reconciliations

●	The CFO will review all material transactions for capital expenditures

●	The CFO will review all period ending entries for preparation of financial statements, including the calculation of inventory, depreciation, and amortization

●	The CFO will review all material entries for compliance with generally accepted accounting principles prior to the annual audit and 10Q filings

●	The CFO will develop a formal capitalization policy

In addition, we plan to consult with independent experts when complex transactions are contemplated.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Since December 31, 2011, the Company has appointed three independent Director’s to an Audit Committee which has been actively involved in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting through communications with the Company’s management and outside auditors. The CFO has reviewed bank reconciliations, capital expenditures, calculation of depreciation and amortization, and has prepared a formal capitalization document since December 31, 2011.
