PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Apex Minerals Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in
the State of Delaware on July 10, 1995. The Company presently has
no assets and no business operations. The Company's mailing address
is 57 West 200 South, Suite 310, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. Its
telephone number is (801) 359-9300.
During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company filed a
registration statement on Form SB-2 with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission to raise up to $200,000 through the sale of up
to 800,000 shares at $0.25 per share. During the year ended June
30, 1998, the Company raised $76,450 through the sale of 305,800
shares.
The Company, through its former majority owned subsidiary,
Apex Minerals of Utah, Inc., a Utah corporation incorporated on June
7, 1996, (hereinafter the " Former Subsidiary"), had previously
located certain unpatented lode mining claims in the Tutsagubet
Mining District in Washington County, Utah. In August 1998 the
Company did not have sufficient funds to pay the annual assessments
on the claims and management decided to abandon them. In addition,
the Company's interest in the Former Subsidiary was transferred to
Gaylon W. Hansen, a former shareholder of the Company, for services
rendered to the Company. At the time of transfer, the Former
Subsidiary had no interest in any mining claims or any other assets.
Proposed Activities
The Company is currently seeking potential business
acquisitions or opportunities to enter into in an effort to commence
new business operations. The Company does not propose to restrict
its search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or
geographical area and may, therefore, engage in essentially any
business in any industry. The Company has unrestricted discretion
in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to
the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and
other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to
participate is complex and risky. Additionally, as the Company has
only limited resources, it may be difficult to find good
opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to identify and acquire any business opportunity based on
management's business judgement.
The activities of the Company are subject to several
significant risks which arise primarily as a result of the fact that
the Company has no specific business and may acquire or participate
in a business opportunity based on the decision of management which
potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of the
Company's shareholders. The risks faced by the Company are further
increased as a result of its lack of resources and its inability to
provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.
The Company has no employees.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's offices are furnished at no cost by the
president of the Company and are shared with other unrelated
companies.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any material pending legal
proceedings or government actions, including any material
bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. Management of the
Company does not believe that there are any material proceedings to
which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner
of record of beneficially of more than five percent of the common
stock of the Company, or any associate of any such director,
officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party
adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the
Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders of the
Company during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is presently no public trading market for the common
stock of the Company, and there has been no reported bid price of
the Company's common stock.
Since its inception the Company has not paid any dividends on
its common stock and the Company does not anticipate that it will
pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
At September 20, 1998, the Company had approximately 18
shareholders of record. The Company acts as its own transfer agent.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company has had no revenues from operations during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, and has had no significant revenues
from operations since its inception in July 1995.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company held
interests in a number of unpatented mining claims, each of which
required payment of annual maintenance fees principally to the
Bureau of Land Management in the aggregate amount of approximately
$15,000, which fees were due on or before August 31, 1998. The
Company had attempted without success to locate joint venture
partners to develop the claims or potential purchasers of such
claims. The Company did not have sufficient funds to pay the annual
fees and Mr. Oveson, who had previously loaned money to the Company,
determined not to advance additional funds for this purpose.
Management decided to abandon the interest of the Company in such
claims and did not pay the annual fees.
The Company has no plans to raise or seek additional funding,
but intends to seek a new business venture or enterprise for the
Company. The Company has no significant operating costs or capital
obligations.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Company are set forth
immediately following the signature page of this annual report.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Orton & Company, P.C. ("Orton & Company") were previously the
principal accountants for the Company. On September 23, 1997, the
Board of Directors approved the engagement of the firm of Crouch,
Bierwolf, & Chisholm to replace Orton & Company, which declined to
stand for reelection as the Certifying Accountants for the Company.
In connection, with the audit of the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996, there were no disagreements with Orton & Company on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if
not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make
reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of
the disagreement, and said firm has not advised the Company of any
reportable events.
The accountants' report of Orton & Company on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiary as
of and for the year ended June 30, 1996 did not contain any adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
PART III
ITEM 9. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND
CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
General
The sole officer and director of the Company is Howard M.
Oveson. Mr. Oveson has been a director and the secretary/treasurer
of Apex Minerals Corporation since July 1995. He has been the
President of the Company since June 1998. Since 1980 Mr. Oveson has
been self-employed as a business consultant to private and public
companies. He is also a director of Yellow Gold of Cripple Creek,
Inc., a Colorado corporation. Age 65.
Each director of the Company is elected to hold office until
the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until his or her
successor is elected and duly qualified. Each officer of the
Company is appointed to hold office until the first meeting of the
Board of Directors immediately following the annual meeting of
shareholders.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
The Company's common stock is not registered pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and therefore no disclosure is required pursuant to this item.
ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
There has been no compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid
to any of the executive officers of the Company or its Former
Subsidiary during the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 or 1996,
except that Mr. Gay, Mr. Bernstein, and Mr. Kastelic each received
150,000 shares of common stock of the Company in partial
consideration of accepting appointments as officers and/or directors
of the Company or the Former Subsidiary during the year ended June
30, 1996. Also, during the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company
paid $10,000 to Gaylon W. Hansen, an officer and director of the
Former Subsidiary, for services rendered to the Company.
The Company has no written employment contract with Mr. Oveson.
Under Utah law the Company is entitled to pay compensation to
its directors, unless the articles or bylaws provide otherwise. The
Company has not adopted a policy of compensating its directors, and
neither the Company's Articles of Incorporation, nor the current
Bylaws prohibit such payments. The Company has agreed to reimburse
its officers and directors for out-of-pocket expenses relating to
their activities as officers or directors.
ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information furnished
by current management concerning the ownership of common stock of
the Company as of September 20, 1998, of (i) each person who is
known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5
percent of the Common Stock; (ii) all directors and executive
officers; and (iii) directors and executive officers of the Company
as a group:

as to which the beneficial owner has sole voting power and sole
investment power.
(2)Of the shares listed, 1,650,000 are held of record by
Gaylon W. Hansen. Mr. Oveson acquired the shares from Mr. Hansen
but has not transferred them to his own name.
There are no arrangements, known to the Company, the
operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of
control of the Company. However, the Company is currently seeking a
new business venture and the acquisition of such new venture will
likely result in a change of control of the Company.
ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The founders of the Company were Gaylon W. Hansen, an officer
and director of the Former Subsidiary, and Howard M. Oveson, an
officer, a director, and the principal shareholder of the Company.
On or about July 11, 1995, each of the organizers of the Company
paid $1,650 cash consideration for 1,650,000 shares each of the
Common Stock of the Company.
Subsequent to the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company
transferred all of its interest in the Former Subsidiary to Gaylon
W. Hansen, an officer and director of the Former Subsidiary, a
founder of the Company, and a former principal shareholder of the
Company. The transfer of interest was accomplished by transferring
all of the shares of the Former Subsidiary owned by the Company to
Mr. Hansen. At the time of transfer the Former Subsidiary had no
assets. The only assets previously owned by the Former Subsidiary
were the mining claims located in Tutsagubet Mining District in
Washington County, Utah, for which the Company failed to pay the
maintenance fees and were thus abandoned as of August 31, 1998.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Apex Minerals Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Apex
Minerals Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiary (a
development stage company) as of June 30, 1998 and the related
consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended and for the period from inception
(July 10,1995) to June 30, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements
of Apex Minerals Corporation and subsidiary as of June 30, 1996,
were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 8, 1996,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Apex Minerals Corporation and subsidiary as of June 30,
1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended and for the period from inception (July 10, 1995) to
June 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company was incorporated in the State of
Delaware on July 10, 1995 for the primary purpose
of acquiring mining claims. In July and August
1995 the Company located 45 unpatented lode mining
claims known as the Dix Apex #1 through #45
inclusive, in the Tutsagubet Mining District in
Washington County, Utah. An additional 25
unpatented lode mining claims known as the Dix
Apex #46 through #70 inclusive, were located in
the same mining district in December 1995.
Another ten claims (#71 to #80) were added in
December 1996.
The Company's 90% owned subsidiary, Apex Minerals
of Utah, Inc. was incorporated in June 1996 for
the purpose of holding title to the Utah mining
claims. These claims were transferred in June 1996.
The Company exchanged all of its interest in the
mining claims and the prepaid mining leases for
9,000 shares of the subsidiary. Another 1,000
shares were issued to other parties for various
services rendered and two state mining leases (See
Note 2).
In 1998, The Company chose to abandon its
leasehold properties and wrote off all of its
investment made into the project.
Loss Per Share
The computations of loss per share of common stock
are based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding at the date of the financial
statements.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income taxes" in
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 " Accounting for Income Taxes" requires an
asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting for income tax purposes.
This statement recognizes (a) the amount of taxes
payable or refundable for the current year and (b)
deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized
in the financial statements or tax returns.
Deferred income taxes result from temporary
differences in the recognition of accounting
transactions for tax and financial reporting
purposes. There were no temporary differences at
June 30, 1998 and earlier years; accordingly, no
deferred tax liabilities have been recognized for
all years.

APEX MINERALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
(a development stage company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company has cumulative net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $87,000 at June 30,
1998. No effect has been shown in the financial
statements for the net operating loss
carryforwards as the likelihood of future tax
benefit from such net operating loss carryforwards
is not presently determinable. Accordingly, the
potential tax benefits of the net operating loss
carryforwards, estimated based upon current tax
rates of $30,000 at June 30, 1998 have been offset
by valuation reserves of the same amount. The net
change in deferred tax asset and offsetting
valuation reserve amounted to $18,000 for 1998.
The Company has available $87,000 in net operating
loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in
the year 2016. The Company has accrued minimum
state income taxes of $100.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statements of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents are defined as demand
deposits at banks and certificates of deposits
with maturities less than three months.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements as of June

conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. In these financial

involve extensive reliance on management's
