U.S. GOLD CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of the wholly-owned
Tonkin Springs Venture Limited Partnership (TSVLP). Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basic per share data includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or
(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the period (13,927,469 for 1998 and 13,853,929 for 1997).
Diluted per share data reflect the potential dilution of securities that could
share in the earnings of the Company, similar to fully diluted earnings per
share. As of June 30, 1998 and 1997, options are not considered in the
computation of diluted per share data as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
The preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Companys management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and
liabilities, the 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.
2. Sale of 60% Interest in Tonkin Springs Project
On December 31, 1993 (the Closing), TSVLP, a partnership owned by subsidiaries
of the Company, sold a 60 percent undivided interest in the Tonkin Springs
Properties and Obligations (the Properties) to Gold Capital Corporation (Gold
Capital). TSVLP retained a 40 percent undivided interest in the Properties.
Immediately after the conveyance to Gold Capital and effective December 31,
1993, TSVLP and Gold Capital each made their respective interest in the
Properties subject to a mining joint venture, the Tonkin Springs Project Joint
Venture (the Project Joint Venture), to operate and manage the Properties.
Ownership in the Project Joint Venture is: TSVLP- 40 percent, Gold Capital-
60 percent. Gold Capital is manager of the Properties under the Project Joint
Venture.
Gold Capital purchased its 60 percent undivided interest in the Properties from
TSVLP for a purchase price and other consideration of approximately $7,830,000
representing the estimated fair market value of the assets. The purchase price
included $200,000 in cash at Closing; delivery of a mortgage note in the amount
of $3.8 million (the Promissory Note); 300,000 shares of unregistered Gold
Capitals Series A Preferred Stock (the Gold Capital Preferred Stock) having an
assigned value of $3 million, and the assumption of 60 percent of a reclamation
obligation recorded at $960,000. Effective December 31, 1996, TSVLP converted
its 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock of Gold Capital into 1,750,000 shares of
Gold Capital common shares, and with shares of Gold Capital common stock
received in satisfaction of mandatory Preferred Stock dividends for 1995 and
1996 and accounts receivable, the Company and TSVLP owned an aggregate of
2,287,547 shares of Gold Capital as of that date.
Effective August 29, 1997, Gold Capital became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Globex Mining Enterprises, Inc. (Globex), a Canadian corporation with shares
traded on the Toronto stock exchange (symbol: GMX) pursuant to the merger of
Gold Capital with a subsidiary of Globex (the Gold Capital Merger). With this
merger, Globex through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gold Capital, assumed
responsibilities and obligations for the Project Joint Venture under the various
Gold Capital agreements with the Company and TSVLP. With the Gold Capital
Merger the Company and TSVLP received an aggregate of 631,905 shares of Globex
common stock in exchange for its common stock ownership in Gold Capital which
as of June 30, 1998 represented approximately 5.4 percent of outstanding common
shares of Globex.
The Company recognized the gain from the sale of the 60% interest in the Tonkin
Springs Properties to Gold Capital using the installment method of accounting.
For 1996, 24.5% ($1,165,418) of the gain was recognized representing the balance
of the gain related to the Promissory Note. At August 29, 1997, there was
$1,789,100 in deferred gain remaining which was associated with the Gold Capital
common stock received in exchange for Gold Capital Preferred Stock. With the
Gold Capital Merger this deferred gain was eliminated as non-realizable as
provided under the installment method of accounting since the value in Globex
common stock was less than the Companys carrying value in Gold Capital common
stock.
Globex raised approximatley $12 million in equity related to the Gold Capital
Merger, a portion of which has been or will be invested in the Project Joint
Venture and has also arranged conditional financing for the Project Joint
Venture with a bank through a reported commitment letter for a $13 million loan
along with a $10 million secured hedging line. The Company understands these
proposed project financings are subject to pre-conditions as well as final
contractual documentation and closing and therefore, there can be no assurance
that they will be sucessfully completed by Globex.
The Company agreed to amend the Project Joint Venture Agreement effective upon
the Gold Capital Merger. Under the terms of the amendment Gold Capital i) paid
off the balance of the Promissory Note to TSVLP in the amount of $1,206,449
including $66,804 of accrued interest, ii) agreed to finance any capital
requirements of TSVLP after Commencement of Commercial Production, and iii)
agreed to pay TSVLP $60,000 per month in minimum cash distributions during a 36
month period commencing September 1, 1998. TSVLP will not be obligated to
refund such payments if its share of cash flow is insufficient to recoup same,
except upon liquidation of the Project Joint Venture, in which event any balance
could be recouped from liquidation distributions due TSVLP, if any. The
amendment also i) gives Gold Capital the right to borrow up to 100% of TSVLPs
cash flow from the Project Joint Venture (after the $60,000 per month minimum
payments noted above) if required to support Gold Capitals debt service for
future third party project financing, if any, with any net borrowings from
TSVLPs share of cash flow due and payable within 30 days of payoff of any third
party project financing, ii) increases the maximum Recoupment Amount from $6
million to $11.25 million and further provides for limited increases to the
Recoupment Amount for additional exploration costs in excess of $750,000
but not more than $1,500,000 prior to Commencement of Commercial Production (for
a maximum Recoupment Amount of $12 million), and iii) provides expanded
definition of Commencement of Commercial Production. The Company also agreed
for a period of 2 years to vote its Globex shares as directed by Globex and to
give Globex a first right of refusual on sales of Globex stock to third parties.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company has recorded a $2,160,000 receivable due from
the Project Joint Venture of which $600,000 was classified as current offset by
a $2,160,000 deferred credit, so in effect the entire receivable is offset by
a deferred credit.
As part of its purchase price obligation in the December 31, 1993 transaction,
Gold Capital is required to fund 100% of the holding, development and
administrative costs relating to the Properties until Commencement of Commercial
Production. For such expenditures up to the maximum Recoupable Amount as
provided in the Joint Venture Agreement, Gold Capital shall be reimbursed from a
preferential portion (84%) of cash flows from the operations of the Properties,
if any. Expenditures in excess of the maximum Recoupment Amount will be
considered contributions to the Project Joint Venture by Gold Capital.
3. Condensed Financial Information of Tonkin Springs Project Joint Venture,
unaudited
As noted in Footnote 2 above, effective December 31, 1993, TSVLP sold a 60
percent undivided interest in the Properties to Gold Capital and the parties
each made their respective interest in the Properties subject to the Project
Joint Venture. Gold Capital is manager of the Properties under the Project
Joint Venture. The following is the preliminary condensed balance sheet of the
Project Joint Venture as of June 30, 1998, and a preliminary condensed statement
of operations for the six month period then ended, both as reported by Gold
Capital. All costs associated with the Properties have been funded by Gold
Capital.

Note A. TSVLP and Gold Capital are jointly responsible for reclamation of
disturbance of the Properties, proportionate to their respective interest in the
Project Joint Venture. The current estimate of reclamation cost, on a 100%
basis, totals approximately $1.47 million of which TSVLP and the Company
reflects $640,000 on its balance sheet related to its 40% share. Actual
reclamation, generally, will be commenced upon the completion of operations
at the Properties. Bonding of reclamation under various Nevada and Federal
Bureau of Land Management agencies, tentatively set at $1.3 million, is the
responsibility of Gold Capital under the terms of the Project Joint Venture.
Effective November 25, 1997, Gold Capital posted a cash bond in the initial
amount of $1.3 million with the required governmental agencies secured by a
restricted cash time deposit for a total balance of reclamation deposits of
$1,339,448.
4. Loan Settlement Agreement with FABC
On February 21, 1992, the Company, among other related things, entered into a
Loan Settlement Agreement with its senior secured lender, The French American
Banking Corporation (FABC). The Company discharged its debt to FABC and
terminated all prior security interests related thereto. As part of the
consideration to FABC under the Loan Settlement Agreement, the Company entered
into an agreement between Tonkin Springs Gold Mining Company, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (TSGMC) and FABC entitled Agreement To Pay
Distributions, which requires TSGMC to pay a limited portion of certain
distributions from TSVLP through TSGMC to FABC. The Company has complete
control of such distributions, if any, from TSVLP to TSGMC. Under the terms
of the Agreement To Pay Distributions, TSGMC is required to pay to FABC (i) the
first $30,000 in cash or value of asset distributions, as defined in such
agreement, received from TSVLP, plus (ii) an amount equal to 50% of such
retained distributions in cash or value of asset distributions after TSGMC has
first received and retained $500,000 of such retained distributions. This
obligation to FABC shall terminate after FABC has been paid a total of
$2,030,000 thereunder or upon disposition by TSGMC of its interest in TSVLP.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Financial Condition
On December 31, 1993, Tonkin Springs Venture Limited Partnership (TSVLP), a
partnership owned by subsidiaries of the Company, sold a 60 percent undivided
interest in the Tonkin Springs Properties and Obligations (the Properties) to
Gold Capital. As part of its purchase price obligation Gold Capital is required
to fund 100% of the holding, development and administrative costs relating to
the Properties until Commencement of Commercial Production. For such
expenditures up to the maximum Recoupment Amount as provided in the Joint
Venture Agreement, Gold Capital shall be reimbursed from a preferential portion
(84%) of cash flows from the operations of the Properties, if any. Expenditures
in excess of the maximum Recoupment Amount will be considered contributions to
the Project Joint Venture by Gold Capital. Through June 30, 1998, Gold
Capital has reported that it has incurred approximately $10.2 million in
Recoupment Amount expenditures.
Effective August 29, 1997, Gold Capital became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Globex Mining Enterprises, Inc. (Globex), a Canadian corporation with shares
traded on the Toronto stock exchange (symbol: GMX) pursuant to the merger of
Gold Capital with a subsidiary of Globex (the Gold Capital Merger). Globex
raised approximatley $12 million in equity related to the Gold Capital Merger,
a portion of which has been or will be invested in the Tonkin Springs Project
and has also arranged conditional financing for Tonkin Springs with a bank
through a reported commitment letter for a $13 million loan along with a $10
million secured hedging line. The Company understands these proposed project
financings are subject to pre-conditions as well as final contractual
documentation and closing and therefore, there can be no assurance that they
will be sucessfully completed by Globex. In the Gold Capital Merger the Company
received an aggregate of 631,905 shares of Globex common stock in exchange for
common stock ownership in Gold Capital which represents approximately 5.4
percent of Globex's outstanding common shares at June 30, 1998.
The Company agreed to amend the Project Joint Venture Agreement effective upon
the Gold Capital Merger. Under the terms of the amendment Gold Capital i) paid
off the balance of the Promissory Note to TSVLP, ii) agreed to finance any
capital requirements of TSVLP after Commencement of Commercial Production, and
iii) agreed to pay TSVLP $60,000 per month in minimum cash distributions during
a 36 month period commencing September 1, 1998. TSVLP will not be obligated to
refund such payments if its share of cash flow is insufficient to recoup same,
except upon liquidation of the Project Joint Venture, in which event any balance
could be recouped from liquidation distributions due TSVLP, if any. The
amendment also i) gives Gold Capital the right to borrow up to 100% of TSVLPs
cash flow from the Project (after the $60,000 per month minimum payments
noted above) if required to support Gold Capitals debt service for future third
party project financing, if any, with any net borrowings from TSVLPs share of
cash flow due and payable within 30 days of payoff of any third party project
financing, ii) increases the maximum Recoupment Amount from $6 million to $11.25
million and further provides for limited increases to the Recoupment Amount for
additional exploration costs in excess of $750,000 but not more than $1,500,000
prior to Commencement of Commercial Production (for a maximum Recoupment Amount
of $12 million), and iii) provides expanded definition of Commencement of
Commercial Production. The Promissory Note and accrued interest was fully paid
August 29, 1997. The Company also agreed for a period of 2 years to vote its
Globex shares as directed by Globex and to give Globex a first right of refusual
on sales of Globex stock to third parties.
Gold Capitals ability to continue to fund operations of the Project Joint
Venture and ultimately to put the project into production is dependent upon its
ability to raise additional funding. Globex has informed the Company that they
have not yet finalized the previously announced project financing package for
Tonkin Springs but that process is continuing, and that Globex is seeking
alternatives for interim funding, for which there can be no assurance of
success, to allow it to fund Gold Capitals obligations under the Project Joint
Venture. In the event of certain defaults by Gold Capital under the Project
Joint Venture, including failure to fund minimum holding and administrative
costs for the project and minimum cash distributions to TSVLP, Gold Capital
would be deemed to have forfeited its interest in the Properties and the Project
Joint Venture. The Company will continue to closely monitor Gold Capitals
performance under the Project Joint Venture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $674,970 made up of
current assets of $727,926 and current liabilities of $52,956. During the next
twelve months, the Company anticipates receipt of $600,000 in minimum
distributions from the Tonkin Springs Joint Venture plus interest on its cash
balances. The Company may also issue equity in public or private transactions
or enter into loan transactions to raise additional working capital. In
addition, the Company is exploring various business transactions, including but
not limited to, potential mergers or acquisitions. The Company may also sell a
portion or all of its common stock in Globex. These items are the primary
anticipated sources of working capital.
Net cash used in operations increased to $483,240 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 from $417,623 for the same period of 1997. Cash flow from investing
activities decreased to $(4,833) for 1998 compared to $441,000 in 1997,
primarily reflecting payoff of the principal balance and accrued interest under
the Gold Capital Promissory Note in August, 1997. No cash flows from financing
activities occured in 1998 nor 1997.
Results of Operations - 1998 Compared to 1997
For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company recorded a loss of
$512,953 compared to a loss of $331,041 in the corresponding period of 1997.
During the 1997 period, $52,334 in interest income, primarily related to the
Promissory Note from Gold Capital, was recorded, compared to interest income of
$8,417 during the 1998 period reflecting accrued interest on invested cash
balances. General and Administrative expenses increased approximately $137,320
in the 1998 period compared to 1997, primarily reflecting $47,355 in cost
recovery related to support of Gold Capital during 1997 with no such cost
recovery during the 1998 period, and costs in the 1998 period of approximatley
$47,000 associated with the annual meeting of shareholders held June 10, 1998.
Other
The Company has addressed Year 2000 Issues as relates to the computing systems,
software and programs for which the Company relies to determine which are year
2000 compliant. The Company has concluded that such systems, software and
programs which are not 2000 compliant will be replaced prior to January 1, 2000
at an estimated cost of approximately $30,000.

thereafter until a successor is elected and has qualified: William W. Reid,
John W. Goth, David C. Reid, and Douglas J. Newby. These four individuals

two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or approximately
9,285,026 shares. The proposal was not approved with 7,010,441 shares in
favor, 5,994,439 shares against, and 76,706 shares abstaining to vote.

shareholders. The Company anticipates that the next Annual Meeting of
Shareholders will be held in June of 1999. Any Shareholder of record of the
Company who desires to submit a proper proposal for inclusion in the proxy
material related to the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders must do so in
writing and it must be received at the Companys principal executive offices

proposal at the meeting that is not included in the Companys proxy
statement, and the Shareholder fails to notify the Company prior to March 8,
1999 of such proposal, then the proxies appointed by the Companys Management
would be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority when the
proposal is raised at the Annual Meeting, without any discussion of the
matter in the proxy statement. The proponent must be a record or beneficial
owner entitled to vote on such proposal at the next Annual Meeting and must
continue to own such security entitling such right to vote through the date
on which the meeting is held.
