NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Far East
Ventures, Inc. (the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating
results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of the three months ended
March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year ending December 31, 2000.
NOTE 2 - LOSS PER SHARE
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No.
128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted loss per share
with basic and diluted loss per share. Unlike primary loss per share, basic loss
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible
securities. Diluted loss per share is very similar to the previously reported
fully diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is
anti-dilutive. There are no common stock equivalents.
NOTE 3 - CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
In January 2000, the Company issued to R.R.P., L.L.C., an unrelated third party,
300,000 shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with a consulting
agreement. The shares have been valued in accordance with FASB No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" at $1,274,880 based on the fair market
value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance of the shares.
In January 2000, the Company has committed to enter into a consulting agreement
with the owner ("Consultant") of a company, which is a stockholder of the
Company. The agreement is for an investor and public relations services to be
rendered by the Consultant over a twelve-month period. For the services
rendered, the Consultant will receive 500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The shares have been valued in accordance with FASB No. 123 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" at $2,062,500 based on the fair market value of
the Company's common stock on the date of issuance of the shares.
In January 2000, the Company engaged Chanin Capital Partners, LLC ("CCP") and
its affiliates to act as exclusive financial advisor and/or agent to the Company
in connection with acquisitions. CCP has agreed to initiate a private placement
of up to $100,000,000, on best efforts, of senior secured debt, senior
subordinated notes or equity. For these services CCP will be paid a one-time
advisory fee of $25,000 and a commission, based on percentage of funding, for
any private placement financing.

NOTE 3 - CONSULTING AGREEMENTS, continued
In March 2000, the Company issued to Alan Burkun, an unrelated third party,
900,000 shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with a consulting
agreement. The shares have been valued in accordance with FASB No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" at $3,037,500 based on the fair market
value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance of the shares.
In March 2000, the Company issued to J.B. Marc & Associates, an unrelated third
party, 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with a
consulting agreement. The shares have been valued in accordance with FASB No.
123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" at $1,237,500 based on the fair
market value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance of the
shares.
In December 1999, Churchill Resources, Inc. ("CRI") engaged Crary Onthank and
O'Neil LLC ("COO"), who have agreed to initiate a private placement of up to
$6,000,000, on best efforts, of senior secured debt, senior subordinated notes
or equity. The funds will be used for CRI's acquisition of the operating assets
of Orangeville Raceway, Ltd. For these services, COO will be paid a one-time
advisory fee of 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a commission,
based on percentage of funding, for any private placement financing.
NOTE 4 - ACQUISTION
In January 2000, the Company completed an acquisition of CRI. The Company issued
4,500,000 shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding
common stock of CRI. After the acquisition, CRI will have a majority ownership
of the Company. Since CRI will be the controlling stockholder, CRI will be the
successor by merger to the Company. Therefore, the acquisition will be accounted
for as a recapitalization of CRI and the historical and continuing financial
statement presentation will be that of the legal subsidiary, CRI, not the legal
parent, the Company. Due to the Company's lack of business activity prior to the
merger, no excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired will be recorded.
In January 2000, the Company, formerly CRI, executed an asset purchase agreement
and paid an initial deposit of $100,000 to purchase the operating assets of
Orangeville Raceway, Ltd. The asset purchase agreement closing is contingent
upon regulatory approval from the British Columbia Racing Authority.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION.
(a) Plan of Operation.
Initially during the first quarter of 2000 the Company focused on
developing a management team and a corporate identity. Business offices were
leased in Las Vegas, Nevada and management was secured, including a Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer who were knowledgeable in the
gaming and horse racing industries. Further members of management are
knowledgeable in the various regulatory issues presented by the Registrant being
involved in gaming and horse racing in the United States and Canada. The
Registrant retained the services of an Accounting firm with substantial SEC
experience.
The Registrant also focused on the development of what is to be its core
business, horse racing and gaming. To that end the Registrant entered into an
agreement to purchase the Fraser Downs Raceway assets in Surrey, British
Columbia, Canada. The Registrant has submitted all documentation required to the
British Columbia Racing Commission to secure the necessary licenses to own and
operate the Fraser Downs Raceway assets. The Registrant has also signed a letter
of intent to purchase the Sandown Raceway assets on Vancouver Island, British
Columbia on March 2, 2000. In April 2000, the Registrant executed a letter of
intent to purchase a majority in Retama Park in Selma, Texas. The Registrant is
presently seeking to acquire additional horse racing and gaming venues.
The Registrant has entered into various agreements to provide the necessary
capital to complete its acquisition program.
