(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated in 1919 under the laws of the State of
Nevada as Lincoln Divide Mining Company. In July, 1973, the name of
the Company was changed to Lincoln Divide Industries, Inc. In
February, 1980, the name of the Company was changed to Cherokee
Mineral and Oil, Inc. The Company's operations primarily consisted of
the acquisition and preliminary exploration of two placer-mining
leases situated in Canada. Presently, the Company does not engage in
any business.
The Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value
common stock. The Company has elected a calendar year end.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.
b. Provision for Taxes
At March 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $220,000 that may be offset against
future taxable income through 2013. No tax benefit has been reported
in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a
50% or greater chance the carryforwards will expire unused.
Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards
are offset by a valuation account of the same amount.
c. Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
d. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
e. Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all of the
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring
nature.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has not established
revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to
continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company
will soon be able to generate revenues sufficient to cover its
operating costs. Currently management is committed to covering all
operating and other costs until sufficient revenues are generated.
NOTE 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company discontinued its operations in 1985. Therefore, all
revenues generated by the Company have been netted against the
expenses and are grouped into the discontinued operations line on the
statement of operations.
NOTE 5 - STOCK TRANSACTIONS
The Company issued 374,000 shares of common stock for services valued
at $187,000 during February, 1996. On March 3, 1996, the board of
directors approved a reverse stock split on a basis of 50 for 1. The
reverse stock split has been applied retroactively to the financial
statements. The Company subsequently issued 1,994,680 post split
common shares for services valued at $19,946.
On January 27, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a change on the
par value from $0.01 to $0.001, while retaining the currently
authorized capital. The change in par value has been applied
retroactively to the annual statements. The Company issued 2,000,000
shares of common stock for $10,000 cash, which was paid directly to
the Company's attorney for legal fees.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
During 1997, an officer and shareholder of the Company paid expenses
on behalf of the Company. At March 31, 1998 the amount owed to the
shareholder was $1,667.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
- ------------------
The Company has not engaged in any material operations since the
calendar year ended December 31, 1991, or during the quarterly period ended
March 31, 1998. During this period, the Company received revenues of $0.
During the same period, total expenses were $11,470 and net income totaled
$(11,470).
The Company's plan of operation for the next 12 months is to continue
to seek the acquisition of assets, properties or businesses that may benefit
the Company and its stockholders. Management anticipates that to achieve any
such acquisition, the Company will issue shares of its common stock as the
sole consideration for such acquisition.
During the next 12 months, the Company's only foreseeable cash
requirements will relate to maintaining the Company in good standing or the
payment of expenses associated with reviewing or investigating any potential
business venture, which the Company expects to pay from its cash resources.
Results of Operations.
- ----------------------
During the quarterly period ended March 31, 1998, the Company had no
business operations. During this period, the Company received total revenues
of $0 and had net income of $(11,470).
Liquidity.
- ----------
At March 31, 1998, the Company had no current assets, with total
current liabilities of $1,892. Total stockholder's equity was $(1,892). In
order to meet its expenses during the next 12 months, management expects that
the Company may be required to sell shares of its common stock to "accredited"
or "sophisticated" investors.
