AMERICAN URANIUM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
American Uranium, Inc. (formerly Zencrest Holdings Corp., Inc.) (the
"Company") was formed in 1991 as a subsidiary of People Ridesharing Systems,
Inc. ("PRS") a company that filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Act. As a result of an arrangement with the Bankruptcy Court and PRS,
ownership of the Company was provided to the creditors and stockholders of PRS
who received ten percent and five percent, respectively, of the outstanding
stock of the Company upon the sale of the Company and in contemplation of a
merger. In addition, the Company sold eighty-five percent of the Company's stock
to nonaffiliated parties.
On August 26, 1998 the Company commenced operations by entering into an
agreement with PlatoroWest, LLC ("Platoro") concerning mineral exploration
activities. The Company's operations will be in the identification, acquisition,
exploration, development ands extraction of minerals, primarily focusing on
uranium and vanadium claims located in the United States.
Inventory
Inventory will be valued at cost as computed under the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method which normally is lower than market. For the type of inventory the
Company intends to maintain, no segregation among raw materials, work in process
and finished goods will be practicable.
Mineral Resource Assets
Mineral resource assets include costs associated with mineral interest in
properties and related equipment and facilities and other facilities required
for purposes of extraction.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment will include support equipment and will be
amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue will be recognized upon shipment of the mined mineral.
Use of Management's 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.
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under
this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
6

AMERICAN URANIUM, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of
assets and liabilities using enacted tax related in effect in the years in which
the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
(SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS 121 requires that if facts and
circumstances indicated that the cost of fixed assets or other assets may be
impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed by comparing the
estimated future undiscounted pre-tax cash flows associated with the asset to
the asset's carrying value to determine if a write-down to market value or
discounted pre-tax cash flow value would be required.
Comprehensive Income
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"). This statement establishes rules
for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components which require that
certain items such as foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains
and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities, minimum pension
liability adjustments and unearned compensation expense related to stock
issuances to employees be presented as separated components of stockholders'
equity. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no impact on total stockholder's equity for
either of the years presented in these financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward Looking Statements
When used in this Form 10-QSB and in future filings by American Uranium
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the words or phrases "will likely
result," "management expects," or "American Uranium expects," "will continue,"
"is anticipated," "estimated" or similar expressions are intended to identify
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speak only as of the date
made. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are
described below. Actual results may differ materially from historical earnings
and those presently anticipated or projected. American Uranium has no obligation
to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated events or circumstances
occurring after the date of such statements.
Selected Financial Data
Because American Uranium is a development stage company, selected financial
date would not be meaningful. Reference is made to the financial statements of
American Uranium included elsewhere in the document.
Fiscal Year 1999
American Uranium did not conduct any business during 1999 that resulted in
revenues. All of its activities during 1999 were devoted to establishing a
business plan and conducting limited financing activities to obtain initial
working capital.
8
<PAGE>
During the first quarter of 1999, American Uranium incurred general and
administrative expenses of $34,695. These expenses were principally the costs
associated with, consulting fees, lease expenses, professional fees and salary
of the president of the company. The total expenses resulted in a loss for the
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999 of $34,695. Funding of these expenses was
from working capital.
First Quarter 2000
American Uranium did not conduct any business during the first quarter of
2000 that resulted in any revenues. The net loss of $2,952 resulted from
administrative costs.
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
The working capital of American Uranium at March 31, 1999 was $4,298 and
March 31, 2000 was a deficite of $11,953. The current working capital
requirements of American Uranium will be funded by shareholder loans.
American Uranium will require additional financing to continue to develop
its business plan and to begin its implementation. Management believes this
amount will be substantial. American Uranium currently has no sources of
financing, including bank or private lending sources, or equity capital sources.
No assurance can be given that American Uranium will be able to develop sources
of financing in the future.
To implement the staking, evaluation, development and extraction aspects of
its business plan, American Uranium will need substantial additional funding.
Because these requirements are in the more distant future, management has not
yet begun to develop methods of financing. Management expects that it will use
equity, debt and other arrangements, such as joint ventures, to fund these
stages of its business plan.
Year 2000
Overview
American Uranium has evaluated the potential impact of the situation
commonly referred to as the "Year 2000 Issue". Y2K concerns the inability of
information systems, primarily computer software programs, to properly recognize
and process date sensitive information relating to the year 2000 and beyond.
Many of the world's computer systems currently record years in a two-digit
format. These computer systems will be unable to property interpret dates beyond
the year 1999, which could lead to business disruptions in the U.S. and
internationally. The potential costs and uncertainties associated with Y2K will
depend on a number of factors, including software, hardware and the nature of
the industry in which a company operates.
Accounting Systems and Production Equipment
Because American Uranium has begun operations during the later part of
1998, management believes that the computer programs it purchases are Y2K
compliant. At this time, management believes that it does not have any assets
with embedded computer chips or programs. Mining data that American Uranium has
acquired or may purchase in the future is not subject to Y2K failure because it
is generally pure data without reference to aging or time change. Therefore
management does not expect to experience any Y2K failures.
9
<PAGE>
Other Entity Compliance
American Uranium does not engage in electronic data interchange with any
other entity. Therefore, management believes it does not have any Y2K exposure
directly from other entities and their failure to be Y2K compliant. Tangently,
however, the failure of other entities to be Y2K compliant may cause American
Uranium issues, none of which are yet apparent to management.
Contingency Planning
Management does not have a contingency plan for its computer systems
because it believes they are Y2K compliant or there is no material risk.
Management does not have a contingency plan in the event a critical service,
supplier or customer will not be Y2K compliant. Management does not expect that
their failure will have a material impact because American Uranium is in the
development stage and uses few services, has few suppliers and has no customers.
If critical services such as utilities, communications or banking are affected,
operations of American Uranium will be disrupted.
Cost of Year 2000 Compliance
American Uranium has not spent any amount on Y2K compliance. It does not
expect to have to spend any material amount on Y2K compliance in the future.
