NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1999
(Unaudited - Prepared by Management)
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
March 4, 1999 with the authorized common shares of 200,000,000 shares
at $0.001 par value.
The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing
mineral properties. A mineral claim, with unknown reserves, has been
acquired. The Company has not established the existence of a
commercially minable ore deposit and therefore has not reached the
development stage and is considered to be in the exploration stage (see
Note 3).
The Company has completed a Regulation D offering of 11,025,000 shares
of its capital stock for cash.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method
of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of
dividends.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected a fiscal year ending December 31, 1999 and has
not completed an operating period and therefore has not filed an income
tax return. However, the Company may incur an operating loss for the
period ending December 31, 1999 which will be available for carryover
and applied against future taxable income resulting in a tax benefit.
The potential tax benefit from any loss carry forward has been fully
offset by a valuation reserve because the use of any future tax benefit
is doubtful since the Company has no operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Loss per Share
Loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average
number of shares actually outstanding using the treasury stock method
in accordance with FABS Statement No. 128.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a
maturity, at the time of purchase, of less than three months, to be
cash equivalents.
Capitalization of Mineral Claim Costs
Cost of acquisition, exploration, carrying, and retained unproven
properties are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in proving and
developing a property ready for production are capitalized and
amortized over the life of the mineral deposit or over a shorter period
if the property is shown to have an impairment in value. Expenditures
for mining equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful
life.
Environmental Requirements
Environmental requirements related to the mineral claims acquired (Note
3) are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be
made.
Financial Instrument
The carrying amount of financial instruments, being cash, is considered
by management to be its standard fair value.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results
could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these
financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION OF MINERAL CLAIM
The Company has acquired one 15 unit metric mineral claim known as the
Zeb Oro Claim located in the Zeballos mining camp near the town of
Zeballos about 300 kilometres northwest of Victoria, British Columbia
with an expiration date of February 25, 2000.
The claims may be retained by the Company by making a yearly lease
payment in the amount of CDN $1,500 on February 25, 2000 and CDN $3,000
on February 25, 2001.
The claims have not been proven to have a commercial minable ore
reserve and therefore all costs for exploration and retaining the
properties have been expensed.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related parties acquired 45% of the common stock issued.
The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other
business activities and they may, in the future, become involved in
additional business ventures which also may require their attention. If
a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may
face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other
business interests. The Company has formulated no policy for the
resolution of such conflicts.
5. GOING CONCERN
The Company will need additional working capital to be successful in
its planned activities and continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the
management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes
will accomplish this objective through additional equity funding, and
long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate in the
future.
Management recognizes that, if it is unable to raise additional
capital, the Company cannot be successful in its efforts.

ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the month of October the Company engaged the services of a mining
consultant to undertake the establishment of a geochemical grid on the Zeb Oro
claim located in the Zeballos mining on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
In the spring of 2000 the Company will undertake a soil sampling program within
the area of the grid in order to determine whether there are any significant
values of mineralization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had no funds available to start the geochemical grid program and
therefore had to rely on advances from its directors and officers. The Company,
in order to undertake the soil sampling program for the year 2000 will have to
raise additional funds. The directors will be addressing this problem prior to
the spring of 2000.
Results of Operations
The Company has had no operations to date.
