                           COBB RESOURCES CORPORATION
               SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)     SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  PRINCIPLES
        ------------------------------------------------

          For  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  principles, see Notes to
Consolidated  Financial Statements and Note 1 thereof contained in the unaudited
Annual Report on Form 10-K of Cobb Resources Corporation (the "Company") for the
year  ended  June  30,  1998,  which  is  incorporated herein by reference.  The
Company  follows  the same accounting policies during interim periods as it does
for  annual  reporting  purposes.

          The  accompanying  consolidated financial statements are condensed and
unaudited  and  have  been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities  and  Exchange Commission ("SEC").  In the opinion of management, the
unaudited  interim  financial  statements furnished reflect all adjustments of a
normal  recurring  nature which are necessary to a fair statement of the results
for  the  interim  periods  presented.  Certain information and note disclosures
normally  included  in  annual  financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to  SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures
made  are  adequate  to  make  the  information presented not misleading.  These
financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial
statements  and  the notes thereto included in the Company's unaudited Form 10-K
for  the  year  ended  June  30,  1998.


(2)     COMPREHENSIVE  INCOME
        ---------------------

          Effective  July  1,  1998,  the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which
requires  a  Company  to  display an amount representing comprehensive income as
part of the Company's basic financial statements.  Comprehensive income includes
such  amounts as unrealized gains or losses on certain investment securities and
certain  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments.  The  Company's  financial
statements  include  none  of  the additional elements that affect comprehensive
income.  Accordingly,  comprehensive  income  and  net  income  are  identical


(3)     RECLASSIFICATIONS
        -----------------

          Certain  amounts  included  in  the financial statements for the three

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

consolidated  financial  statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
Report.  See  Financial  Statements.  Certain  statements  in  the  following
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations  ("MD&A")  are  forward  looking statements.  Words such as "expect",

uncertainties  that  could  cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected.

OVERVIEW
- --------

     Cobb  Resources  Corporation's  (the  "Company")  operations  are  funded
primarily  through  internally  generated  funds from operations and the sale of
certain  marketable equity securities.  The Company is currently placing renewed
emphasis on its minerals sector and selective oil and gas prospects.  Management
intends  to continue to hold fixed and administrative expenditures to low levels
which  are  consistent  with  the  Company's  balance sheet financial ratios and
anticipated  income.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
- -----------------------

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30,  1997
- ---------

     The  Company  reported mining royalty income for the September 30, 1998 and
1997  quarters of $16,500 and $16,500 respectively.  The royalty income reflects
the  Company's proportionate share of the annual minimum royalty payment related
to the Copper Flat property.  Interest income and other income for the September
30,  1998  and  1997  quarters  totaled  $13,326  and  $133  respectively.

     There  were  oil and gas property lease expenses for the September 30, 1998
and  1997 quarters of $7,869 and $400 respectively.  Depreciation, depletion and
amortization  for the September 30, 1998 and 1997 quarters was $2,181 and $8,000
respectively.  General  and  administrative  expenses were for the September 30,
1998  and  1997  quarters  were  $60,683 and $6,323 respectively. These expenses
increased  due  to  increased  compensation  to  the  Company's  president  and
increased  amounts  paid  for legal, accounting and other professional services.

     The  Company  realized net loss on the sale of marketable equity securities
for  the  September  30,  1998  and  1997  quarters  of  $47,386  and  $19,377
respectively.

                                       F-5

     The Company had net unrealized loss on marketable equity securities for the
September  30, 1998 quarter of $59,884 compared to a net gain of $60,000 for the
September  1997  quarter.

     Primarily  reflecting  the  factors discussed above, the Company reported a
net  loss  of  $148,845  compared to a gain of $42,533 in the September 30, 1997
quarter.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES
- ----------------------------------

     The  Company's  primary  source  of  operating  income has been the royalty
interest  on  its  Copper Flat property in southern New Mexico and proceeds from
the  sale  of  certain  marketable equity securities and office building.  Since
1990  the  Copper Flat property has been held for possible development by Copper
Flat  Mining  Company,  Ltd.,  a  subsidiary  of Gold Express Corporation ("Gold
Express")  with  the  payment of annual delay rentals to the Company of $150,000
per year on a gross basis.  Such amounts are then divided on a 51/49% basis with
Hydro  Resources  Corporation.  Annual  royalty  payments  from  the Copper Flat
property  are due and payable not later than September 30 of each year, although
such  payment  may  be  paid  within  a  60  day  grace period following written
notification  and  demand.

     On  January  26, 1994, the Company and Hydro entered into an agreement with
Alta  Gold Company, a Nevada Corporation, ("Alta") whereby the royalty interests
held  by  the Company and Hydro in the Copper Flat property would be adjusted in
order  to  make  the  development  of  the  Copper  Flat  property  viable.  In
consideration  of  the  foregoing, Alta agreed to provide the Company/Hydro with
375,000 restricted shares of Alta stock within thirty days of Alta's acquisition
of  the  Copper  Flat  property.  At  any time within two years from the date on
which  the  stock  is  issued,  Alta  shall have the right to repurchase 125,000
shares  for  $4.00  per share, upon giving the Company/Hydro thirty days notice.
The  Company/Hydro  will  have  the  option,  upon written demand to Alta within
thirty  days  after  the  second  anniversary date of the stock issuance, if the
market  price  of  the  stock  on  the second anniversary is less than $4.00 per
share, to demand that Alta pay to the Company/Hydro the difference between $4.00
per  share  and  the  market  price  per share on the second anniversary date as
multiplied  by  a  maximum  of 250,000 shares.  Alta shall have 60 days from the
date  of  said  demand  to  pay  same.

     As  a  result  of  the  agreement,  Alta  will  be  obligated  to  pay  the
Company/Hydro  a  2-1/2%  Net  Smelter  Return  for as long as Alta operates the
Copper  Flat  property  which  amends  the  5% Net Smelter Return as above.  The
annual  minimum  royalty  payment  will  be  credited  against future production
royalties  after  Alta  acquires  the  Copper Flat property.  If the Copper Flat
property  is  not  in production at the end of said five year period, the annual
minimum  royalty  payment  will  no longer be credited against future production
royalty.  In  no  event,  however,  will  the  production  royalty  due  the
Company/Hydro  be  less  than  $150,000  per  year.

     Cash  and  cash  equivalents  decreased  to  $163,771  from  $179,588 a net
decrease  of  $15,811  at  September 30, 1998 as compared to September 30, 1997.

     At  present,  the  Company  plans  to  remain  a  public  entity  operating
principally  in  the  minerals  and  oil  and  gas  business.  The Company holds
interests  in  several  oil  and  gas  prospects and its royalty interest in the
Copper  Flat  property.

IMPACT  OF  YEAR  2000
- ----------------------

     The  Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's
computer  programs  that have time sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00"  as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a system
failure  or  miscalculation  causing  disruption  of  business  activities.

     Based  on  ongoing  assessments,  the  Company believes that no significant
modifications  of  existing  computer  software  will  be required.  The Company
believes  that  for  applications  in  which computer systems are utilized, such
computer  systems  will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000
and  thereafter.  The  Company also believes that costs related to the Year 2000
issue  will  not  be  significant.

     The  Company  is  currently  assessing its relationships with suppliers and
major  customers  to  determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to
any  third  party's  failure  to  remedy  their  own Year 2000 issues.  Based on
preliminary  assessments, management believes that significant exposure does not
exist  with  respect  to  third parties.  In the worst case, management believes
that  it  could  experience delays in its ability to trade securities and obtain
proceeds  from  such  trades,  resulting  in  losses  for  the  Company.

INFORMATION  REGARDING  AND  FACTORS  AFFECTING  FORWARD  LOOKING  STATEMENTS

     The  Company  is  including  the  following  cautionary  statement  in this
