NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2000 included herein
have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 1999 audited financial statements and notes thereto.
2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
a) Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on February
17, 1999.
b) Exploration Stage Activities
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property and has
not yet determined whether the property contains ore reserves that are
economically recoverable.
The recoverability of amounts shown as mineral property and related
deferred exploration expenditures is dependent upon the discovery of
economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest
in the underlying mineral claims and the ability of the Company to obtain
profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because
a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period
necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful
judgement.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly
prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of
the significant accounting policies summarized below:
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
a) Mineral Property and Related Deferred Exploration Expenditures
The Company defers all direct exploration expenditures on mineral
properties in which it has a continuing interest to be amortized over the
recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. On
abandonment of any property, applicable accumulated deferred exploration
expenditures will be written off. To date none of the Company's
properties have reached commercial production.
At least annually, the net deferred cost of each mineral property is
compared to management's estimation of the net realizable value, and a
write-down is recorded if the net realizable value is less than the
cumulative net deferred costs.
b) Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). This standard requires
the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation
allowance is recognized.
c) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that this Company is
not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments
approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
d) Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period plus common share equivalents, such
as options, warrants and certain convertible securities. This method
requires primary earnings per share to be computed as if the common share
equivalents were exercised at the beginning of the period or at the date
of issue and as if the funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common
shares of the Company at its average market value during the period.

4. MINERAL PROPERTY
The Company has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest
in the Secret Basin, Nevada property for the following consideration:
- cash payment of U.S. $1,000;
- exploration expenditures totalling U.S. $250,000 by February 28, 2002,
U.S. $10,000 of which must be expended by December 31, 2000.
Consideration to date $ 1,000
========
5. UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits
rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize
the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when
information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar
problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to
represent something other than a date. Although the change in date has
occurred, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of the Year 2000
Issue that may affect the entity, including those related to customers,
suppliers, or other third parties, have been fully resolved.
<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company has an interest
in certain properties located in Nevada, and intends to carry out exploration
work on this property in order to ascertain whether it possesses commercially
developable quantities of gold and other precious minerals.
The Company holds an option agreement from Miranda Industries Inc. ("Miranda")
to acquire a 50% interest in the "Secret Basin" project situated in the State of
Nevada (the "Basin claims"). The consideration paid by the Company to Miranda
for the grant of the Option at the time of execution was $1,000 US. The Option
is exercisable by the Company incurring the following property exploration
expenditures on the Basin claims:
1. The Company received an extension to perform initial exploration
expenditures in the amount of $10,000 US by September 30, 2000; and
2. Cumulative exploration expenditures in the amount of $250,000 US by February
28, 2002.
The Company has not incurred exploration expenditures to date on the Basin
Claims which can be applied towards exercise of the Option.
Upon the Company acquiring a 50% interest in the Basin claims by exercise of the
Option, the Company and Miranda will enter into a joint venture for the purpose
of further exploring and developing and, if economically and politically
feasible, constructing and operating a mine on the Basin claims.
Plan of Operations
With its current cash position, the Company cannot complete Phase I without
additional financing. The approximate cost of the Phase I work program is
$10,000. If the Company is not successful in raising additional financing, the
Company may attempt to negotiate another extension to the date for the
completion of the required exploration expenses under the option agreement. If
the Company does not negotiate an extension then the Company's interest in the
property will terminate. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
negotiate any extension or obtain additional financing if an extension is
negotiated.
Completion of Phase Two of the exploration program (as described in the First
Amended Form 10-SB Registration Statement) is conditional upon completion of
Phase I. If the Company determines to proceed with Phase Two, it will need
additional financing which it intends to obtain through a private offering of
stock to accredited investors under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company's primary source of funds since incorporation has been through the
issue of its common stock. The Company has no revenue from mining to date and
does not anticipate mining revenues in the foreseeable future.
The Company had cash on hand in the amount of 2,409 as of September 30, 2000
compared to 15,255 for the period ending September 30, 1999. (The Company was
<PAGE>
incorporated Feb 18, 1999) The Company will require additional funding in order
to complete Phase I of the exploration program.
The Company's general and administrative expenses were $4,381 for the period
ending September 30, 2000 compared to $14,930 for the period ending September
30, 1999. Of the above amount, $3,000 was paid to Senate Capital under the
management services agreement. There are limited resources to continue paying
the fee of $1,000 per month under the Management Agreement with Senate Capital.
The Company will require additional funding in order to finance its ongoing
general and administrative expenses. There is no assurance that the Company
will obtain the necessary financing.
The Company incurred professional fees of $101.00 for the period ending
September 30, 2000 compared to $7,736 for the period ending September 30, 1999.
In addition, the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay for its overhead
expenses including professional fees associated with the Company's ongoing
obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company has not purchased or sold any plant or significant equipment and
does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.
The Company currently has no employees, and does not expect to hire any
employees in the foreseeable future. The Company conducts its business through
agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.

statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update its
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of receiving new information,
the occurrence of future events, or otherwise.
