Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") No.7. Management believes
it will be able to satisfy its cash requirements through debt financing and
sales of equity through private placements during the next twelve months.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the
financing required. The Company intends to assist other mining companies in
development, process and/or operate junior mining companies through majority
owned subsidiaries or investment in other mining companies through venture
capital arrangements. If successful in acquisition program, the employees would
increase in proportion to the company's acquired. At the present time the
Company has not submitted any proposals for potential acquisition.
In the next twelve months, the Company plans to seek out business
opportunity candidates. To date, the Company has introduced Birch Mountain
Resources to several analytical labs and processes and a Finders Fee Agreement
has been signed. The Board of Directors of Birch Mountain Resources have
approved an agreement dated the 25th day of June, 1999 with American Precious
Metals, Inc. American Precious Metals, Inc. will receive 500,000 shares of Birch
Mountain Resources common stock as a finder's fee. 70% of the fee (350,000
common shares) has been issued to American Precious Metals, Inc. in
consideration of introductions to third parties who have materially advanced the
research and development of any assay procedure. 30% of the fee (150,000 common
shares) shall be issued to American Precious Metals, Inc. upon a proprietary
assay procedure on Birch Mountain Athabasca Project. The total value will be
approximately $490,000 Canadian (350,000 shares). The Company has received
350,000 shares from Birch Mountain on May 19, 2000. The Company plans to
introduce other mining companies and the Company believes that this plan of
operations can be conducted through the efforts of a current officer and
consultant and will not require any additional funds. The Company anticipates
that the business opportunities will be available through the contacts of Jack
Wagenti, the Company's President and consultant. The Company anticipates that
the investigation of specific mining opportunities and the negotiation, drafting
and execution of relevant agreements, and other instruments will be done by Jack
Wagenti or under his direction. The Company plans to investigate, to the extent
believed reasonable by us, such potential mining opportunities. Due to our
limited experience and resources in business analysis, the Company may not
discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about a potential mining
opportunity.
Inasmuch as the Company will have no funds available to us in our search
for mining opportunities, the Company will not be able to expend significant
funds on a complete and exhaustive investigation of potential mining
opportunities. The Company anticipates that it will incur nominal expenses in
the implementation of our business plan described herein. Because the Company
has no capital with which to pay these expenses, our present management, which
consists of Jack Wagenti, President, and Dr. Emanuel Ploumis Chairman of the
Board, CEO, the Company's CEO and President intend to pay all expenses with
personal funds as loans to the Company if no equity financing is available.
The Company's management has no future obligation to provide the Company
with future loans or contributions. The failure of our management to provide
loans or contributions in the future could prevent the Company's plan to seek
out business opportunities.
