A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. Earnings per share are based on weighted
average shares outstanding. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Registrant Company's annual report on form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
Additionally, prior years amounts for the same period are unavailable as
the registrant was inactive during that period. The amounts in this
filing have been amended to include the capitalizing of costs to the
deferred exploration costs account. Previously the Company reported a
loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997 of $61,494 or $21,476
greater than the loss as restated.
B. RESOURCE PROPERTIES
The Company has incurred over $2,661,000 in direct exploratory activity
costs since acquisition of the right to these mining properties. In
accounting for these costs the Company selected an accounting policy which
capitalizes exploratory costs rather than expensing them as incurred.
Amortization of these costs is to be calculated by the units of production
method based upon proven or probable reserves. Costs incurred on
properties later determined to be unproductive are expensed by the Company
as that determination is made. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has
$1,080,901 in resource properties. If these remaining costs had been
expensed rather than capitalized, the accumulated deficit at March 31,
1997 would have been $6,177,988 rather than $5,097,087.
The Company is continuing its exploration stage activities on the
remaining properties to determine the amount of proven or probable
reserves, if any. Realization of the $1,080,901 in resource properties is
dependent on establishing proven or probable reserves in excess of amounts
capitalized.
<PAGE>
C. RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Historically the Company has capitalized exploration costs as discussed in
Note B. Originally the Company filed Form 10-QSB for the period ending
March 31, 1997 with these costs treated as an expense. The statement of
operations presented herein differ from those previously reported due to
the correction of this error. A reconciliation of revenue and net loss
are as follows:
Three Months
Ended
March 31,
1997
Revenues - as previously restated 0
Revenues as restated 0
Net Income (Loss) - as previously reported (61,494)
Net (Loss) as restated (40,018)
D. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amounts due to related party at March 31, 1997 represent cash and expense
advances by a company affiliated with a stockholder and director of the
company totaling $190,100. Presently these amounts bear no interest.
