Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1996
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ------------------------------------------------
Organization
The Company was incorporated in 1971 under the laws of the
State of Utah. The Company is a "junior" natural resource
Company whose activities are primarily acquisition, exploration
and development of natural resources.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all
instruments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash
equivalents.
Property, Equipment and Mining Costs
Expenditures for exploration of mineral properties are
charged against income as incurred. Property acquisition costs
and mine development costs incurred to expand capacity of
operating mines, develop new ore bodies or develop new areas
substantially in advance of current production are capitalized
and charged to operations on the units-of-production method.
Capitalized costs of abandoned projects or impaired properties
are charged to operations in the year of abandonment.
Corporate property and equipment are stated at cost.
Acquisitions having a useful life in excess of one year are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed in the year
incurred. Capitalized assets are depreciated by the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the related
assets, ranging from three to ten years.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to
give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting, principally related to accounting for mining
properties.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the
provision of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
adoption of SFAS 109 changes the Company's method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method (APB 11) to an asset
and liability method. The asset and liability method requires
the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between
tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and
liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Income Taxes - Continued
Under the provisions of SFAS 109, the Company elected not
to restate prior years' consolidated financial statements since
there was no cumulative effect of the initial adoption on prior
years' retained earnings. Additionally, there was no effect of
the adoption of SFAS 109 upon income before taxes for fiscal year
1995.
(Loss) Per Common Share
Losses per common share are calculated based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period.
(2) Mineral Properties
- ------------------------
No amounts have been recorded for mineral properties in the
financial statements since management has not been able to obtain
sufficient information to support the ultimate recovery of these
costs. The following is a brief summary of the significant
mineral properties in which the Company has an interest as of
September 30, 1996.
The Company currently owns approximately 244 patented
mining claims and approximately 20 unpatented mining claims
covering approximately 6,000 acres located in Beaver County,
Utah. The claims comprise most of the San Francisco Mining
District. The two principal mines on the properties, which were
productive in the past, are the Horn Silver and Cactus Mines.
The Horn Silver Mine, which represents a very small part of the
overall acreage, shipped silver, gold, copper and lead until
about 1930. The Cactus Mine, with a production history dating
from 1910, shipped significant amounts of copper, gold and silver
until about 1913. The Company also owns a one-half interest in
the Imperial Mine, a once productive mine, and adjacent patented
mining claims located in the San Francisco Mining District.

(3) Commitments
- -----------------
The Company has entered into various cancelable mining
leases and royalty agreements as a lessee and lessor. Future
minimum lease and royalty payments received and paid under the
Company's current agreements are minimal. In addition to the
lease payments required above, certain leases also require
minimum work requirements of approximately $100 per claim.
Certain leases also have provisions allowing the Company to
purchase all rights to the properties, thereby reducing future
commitments for royalty payments. The leases are cancelable at
the Company's option at any time which would terminate any
further lease payments or work commitments. The lease agreements
also provide that the lease will remain in effect as long as
exploration or development is being conducted with reasonable
diligence or production continues in commercial quantities.
The Company leases its office facilities under an operating
lease which requires payments of approximately $3,000 per year.
(4) Related Party Transactions
- --------------------------------
The Company has paid legal fees and related costs to a law
firm in which one of its directors is a shareholder approximately
$4,190 for the year ended December 31, 1994. There were no legal
fees paid to the firm during fiscal 1995 although the firm
rendered legal services for the Company during that period. The
Company paid $850 in legal fees in 1996, but no fees were paid to
the firm in the third quarter of 1996.
(5) Income Taxes
- ------------------
At December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards available for both financial reporting and income
tax purposes. No amounts have been recognized in the financial
statements for the benefit of these losses due to the uncertainty
as to whether they will ultimately be realized. The amount of
and utilization of the net operating losses for income tax
purposes is dependent in part upon the tax laws in effect at the
time of the utilization and changes in ownership of the Company
which may reduce the amount loss allowable. The net operating
loss carryforward available for tax purposes is approximately
$1,630,000 which begins to expire in the year 2000. A valuation
allowance has been provided for the entire net operating loss and
no other deferred tax assets or liabilities existed at September
30, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Working capital increased by approximately $785 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 for a total deficit of $30,172.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues increased by $727 as of the six month period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period of time in the
year 1995. The small increase was primarily due to additional
lease payments.
Expenses increased by $2,899 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This
increase was primarily due to the payment of the past due legal
and auditing fees during this period.
Results of Operations--Third Quarter
- -------------------------------------
Revenues were approximately identical for the third quarter of
1996 as compared to the same period of time in 1995.
Expenses decreased slightly by only $130 in the third quarter of
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Salaries/wages and
general/administrative expenses decreased while legal and
accounting fees increased to create the difference.
