Over-issuance of Common Stock

NMC, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NMCX) announced today that during the audit of the company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, by the Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB PCAOB Public Company Accounting Oversight Board )-registered accounting firm, the Company discovered that the number of shares issued by its in-house transfer agent exceeded the company's authorized shares Authorized shares

 of common stock. This over-issuance was disclosed in the Company's financial statements. Subsequent to the completion of the audit, the Company discovered a more recent over-issuance by its in-house transfer agent. These over-issuances totaled approximately 1.7 billion shares. Additionally, at the time the Company's prior board of directors created the Class A Preferred Shares Preferred shares

Preferred shares give investors a fixed dividend from the company's earnings and entitle them to be paid before common shareholders. See: Preferred stock.
 in July of 2004, there were not, nor are there currently, a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to accommodate conversion of the approximately 400 million outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock Stock shares that have preferential rights to dividends or to amounts distributable on liquidation, or to both, ahead of common shareholders.

Preferred stock is given preference over common stock. Holders of preferred stock receive dividends at a fixed annual rate.

 by family members of a former officer, director and current shareholder of the Company.

Prior to the discovery of the greater imbalance between authorized shares and issued and convertible shares, the Company had prepared a letter to all shareholders, then intending to make its audited financial statements for 2004 and 2005 available. However, the aforementioned imbalance may require restatement of the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005.

Management is conducting an internal investigation of the facts surrounding the over-issuance and related matters. Once the board of directors has evaluated the circumstances and impacts of these issues, it will recommend corrective action A corrective action is a change implemented to address a weakness identified in a management system.

, the board is exploring possible alternatives specific to the over-issuance, including without limitation, increasing the number of authorized shares and/or a reverse split, any of which would require a majority vote of the shareholders. Pending final resolution of these issues and subject to limitations under Nevada law, the Company expects to treat outstanding shares held by non-affiliates of the Company as having been validly issued.

The Company expects to make audited financial statements available after the resolution of these matters and completion of its audits, including an audit of 2006, by means of the filing of a Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Having accepted the resignation of its in-house transfer agent as a result of the aforementioned events and other problems, the Company has engaged the services of an external, independent transfer agent. The new transfer agent is expected to begin transfer duties for the Company in January 2007.

Without giving effect to the over-issuance and related issues that may have an effect, NMC, Inc. had an accumulated deficit of approximately $65.4 million at December 31, 2005, principally attributable to the writing off of acquired assets and operating expenses Operating expenses

During the audit, three independent geologists and two assayers conducted four geological reviews and full custodial assays on all its properties, although only the Skull Valley property was verified for the purpose of the audit.

Buyer Payment

Per the agreement, additional installments on the down payment of $11 million are payable over the next 23-month period. After the $11 million down payment has been paid, the customer may begin taking prorated possession of the first-stage concentrated ore, and the remaining $489 million balance of the contract is to be paid over 8 years.

Civil Litigation

In March 2003, the SEC filed a civil action against two former officers and original members of the Board of Directors. This action continues, with a court hearing scheduled for March 19, 2007. These former officers and original members of the board of directors have resigned, and the Company is not a party to the litigation but has incurred and may continue to incur some expenses attributable to the litigation.

Form 10 Registration Statement

At the present time, management anticipates that a Form 10 Registration Statement--which is expected to contain audited financial information for the most recent three years ended December 31, 2006--will be submitted to the SEC no earlier than the second quarter of 2007.

Communication with Shareholders

In the interim period and prior to the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Company has been advised by its legal counsel to limit its news releases significantly; however, the Company anticipates that it will continue to keep the market informed of critical developments.
