MADERA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Nature of Operations
Madera International, Inc., a Nevada corporation has two (2) subsidiaries:
Asseradora Itaya, Inc. ("Itaya") a Peruvian corporation and Madera
International Environmental, Inc. ("Environmental") a Nevada corporation,
together ("The Company"). All significant inter-company transactions and
amounts have been eliminated in the consolidating process. The Company, in
conjunction with Itaya, is engaged in the harvesting, milling and
exporting of timber from South America. The Company sells its products to
major lumber distributors throughout the world.
Environmental is dedicated to the conservation of the Amazon Rain Forest.
Through its three programs 1) own a tree 2) replant a tree and 3) replant
a seedling for kids, Environmental manages and re-plants virgin and
cleared timberland in the Brazilian Amazon Region. These programs will
safeguard this region from any commercial exploitation including farming,
ranching, mining and logging or the removal of any fauna or flora for any
purpose.
Basis of Accounting
The Company's policy is to use the accrual method of accounting and to
prepare and present financial statements which conform to generally
accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Net Profit (Loss) Per Share
The net profit (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The
effect of convertible securities are excluded from the computation because
the effect on the net loss per common share would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS
109), "Accounting for Income Taxes." A deferred tax asset or liability is
recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change
during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Revenues are recognized in the period in which they are considered earned.
General and administrative costs are charged to expense when incurred.
6
<PAGE>
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by
the first-in, first-out method. A physical inventory is taken annually.
Relief of the inventory related to sales is based upon estimated costs
with adjustments made at the end of the fiscal year.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 7 years.
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and
repairs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation for the quarter ending
June 30, 1998 was not calculated.
Non-monetary Transactions
The Company records non-monetary transactions in accordance with APB-29
"Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions." The transfer or distribution
of a non-monetary asset or liability is based on the fair value of the
asset or liability that is received or surrendered, whichever is more
clearly evident.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains their cash at high quality financial institutions.
The balances at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with
respect to cash investments.
B. Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable represent amounts due for sales of timber. Management
has determined that the entire amount as of June 30, 1999 is fully
collectible.
C. Inventory:
Inventory as of June 30, 1998 and 1999 consists of varying sizes of rough
cut mahogany and cedar lumber awaiting customers orders in addition to
unprocessed logs awaiting processing in accordance with customer requests.
The valuation of the inventory was made by an independent third party who
determined the quantity and value of the existing inventory. Some of the
inventory was purchased from Ramiro Fernandez-Moris, President of the
Company, in exchange for preferred stock (Note J). The majority of the
inventory balance was purchased with cash from unrelated third parties.
See accounting policies for inventory in item 1 above.

=========== ===========
E. Investment in Timber Producing Property:
In July 1994 the Company entered into an agreement with Ramiro
Fernandez-Moris and his family to acquire a series of assets held by them
in a family owned corporation. These assets consist of 478,000 acres of
timber producing property in Brazil that are owned in fee in Brazil, as
well as substantial acreage in Bolivia and Peru that are long term
concessions. In exchange for these assets the Company issued 10,000,000
shares of its Series B preferred stock. The preferred stock issued is
convertible into a maximum of 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock to be adjusted by any stock splits and subject to the production of
earnings of $2,000,000 annually from the assets acquired. During the year
ended March 31, 1996 the preferred stock was converted to 13,500,000
shares of the Company's common stock.
In addition to the timberland acquired, the Company also acquired as part
of the agreement a working sawmill located in Brazil that is in operation
and existing inventory of banac and cedar with a value of $630,000. The
value of the assets acquired were based upon an appraisal by an
independent third party. The original value of these assets was determined
to be $30,200,000. In addition the Company issued 500,000 shares of its
Series Class B preferred stock, valued at $500,000, as a finders fee
associated with the acquisition of the assets.
F. Other Investment:
In April 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with Mandarin Overseas
Investment Co., Ltd., (Mandarin) a company incorporated under the laws of
the Turks and Caicos Islands to acquire 98% of the outstanding shares of
Asseradora Itaya (Itaya), a subsidiary of Mandarin. Mandarin is the owner
of timber concessions in Peru consisting of 30,000 hectares of timber
producing properties. The concession is for ten (10) years with a
renewable option for an additional ten (10) years, and a further option to
turn the concession into fee ownership for a minimal cost. The extraction
rights are approximately 270,000 cubic meters annually.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement the Company and Mandarin agreed the
purchase price shall be $1,500,000. During the year ended March 31, 1996
the Company issued 5,070,000 shares of its common stock with a value of
8
<PAGE>
$1,064,250 as part of this transaction. The company was to issue an
additional number of shares with a value of $423,750 to be issued as final
payment of this transaction, however the additional value is now
questionable and the company is holding back this issuance at the present.
The $423,750 is reflected in the financial statements of the Company as a
liability. This amount is not owing to Mandarin, instead it is due to
entities that replaced Mandarin in the transaction, these include Forest &
Environmental Resources, Inc. and Gateway Industries Ltd. The Company has
not converted this amount into stock and will not do so unless and until
the values of these assets become proven.
G. Miscellaneous:
Miscellaneous assets at June 30, 1999 and 1998 consist of the following:
1999 1998

<PAGE>
Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, use of the Company's
net operating loss will be limited due to a cumulative change in ownership
of more than 50%.
J. Stockholders' Equity:
Preferred Stock
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series D preferred
stock to Ramiro Fernandez-Moris, President of the Company in exchange for
$2,400,000 of timber inventory owned by Mr. Fernandez-Moris which is
located in Brazil. The conversion feature of the preferred stock floats
such that at the time of conversion a calculation will be performed to
determine the exact number of common shares that are necessary to be
issued to Ramiro Fernandez-Moris to ensure he has at least a 51% ownership
interest in the Company. The conversion period is for five years and can
only be completed if any of the following events occur: sale of the
Company, retirement of Ramiro Fernandez-Moris, the termination of Ramiro
Fernandez-Moris without cause or the expiration of the five year period.
No further issuances have been made as of the current period.
Authorized preferred stock currently also consists of Series A, B and C
preferred stock which have various conversion features for the exchange of
common stock for each share of preferred stock. As of March 31, 1997, all
outstanding Series A, B and C preferred shares had been converted or
canceled.
The company also has authorized a Class E Preferred Stock which was
created for officers, Directors, and consultants in lieu of cash payments
for services rendered. These shares are convertible into common stock on
the basis of one for one. 2,000,000 shares of this class are now issued
and outstanding.
Common Stock
During the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 the Company issued
shares of common stock in exchange for consulting and other services
provided. Shares continue to be issued during the current fiscal year,
refer to the Statement of Changes in Equity for details of current quarter
issuances.
K. Supplemental Cash Flow Information:

Litigation
Wrights Executives, Inc.,dba, Beacon Hill Resources vs. Madera
International, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, filed on February 7, 1995, in
the District Court of the State of Nevada, County of Cark, Case No. A
342542 is a matter whereby the plaintiff alleged that it was owed
$125,736.03 resulting from an agreement entered into by plaintiff and
Forest and Environmental Resources of the Amazon, Inc. ("FEROA"), pursuant
to which the plaintiff agreed to loan FEROA $70,137.00, with interest to
accrue at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month. In
furtherance of the agreement, FEROA executed a promissory note in the
amount of $88,000.00 on July 2, 1988 in favor of plaintiff. Plaintiff
alleged that FEROA transferred all of its assets consisting of timber
properties and concessions to defendant, and that stock paid by the
defendant in consideration of the transfer was not transferred to FEROA,
but to Ramiro Fernandez-Moris, the chairman of FEROA, resulting in FEROA
becoming insolvent, and unable to pay its obligation to the plaintiff. A
Motion for Summary Judgment against the Company was substantiated on
November 27, 1995, and the Company ordered to pay the sum of $158,834.00
to the Plaintiff. Registrant has settled this matter on behalf of
Registrant, Ramiro Fernandez-Moris and FEROA. The settlement is for
$171,500.00, payable at a minimum of $5,000.00 per month, commencing May
1996, and continuing until the debt is paid off. Plaintiff has the option
to convert into common stock at a 25% discount from the bid price as long
as the bid price is $0.50 per share or higher. This option applies only
after the stock reaches a bid price of $0.50, and may be exercised in any
portion of the total value. This claim was being paid by Registrant until
Registrant's Lawyers advised that the judgment was not properly issued at
which time payments were stopped and legal issues again began. The
judgment still exists and the balance due is reflected in the financial
statements.
Registrant is presently under an informal investigation being conducted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although Registrant has received
notice of the investigation, Registrant has no knowledge of the reason or
cause for the investigation and is waiting for the results of the various
inquiries to report the reason.
Subsequent to year end a lawsuit was filed against Registrant and it's CEO
by Arthur Mintz, a former director. The lawsuit relates to loans made by
Mr. Mintz. Registrant and it's CEO are vigorously opposing the lawsuit and
believe that the evidence once presented will show that Mr. Mintz has not
presented an accurate picture.

No new litigation is in process. The past matter of Wright and the

the company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT' S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Six Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
Financial Condition:
- -------------------
The Company's working capital resources during the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 were provided by operations and loans from related
parties (See Notes to Financial Statements). Loans from related parties provided
minimal proceeds during the six months ended September 30, 1998,and 1999 saw a
reduction of the Company's debt to related parties. The Company's operations for
the six months ended September 30, 1999 showed a loss that continues to reflect
the fall in sales. It is expected that this will turn around towards year end
and with the kick-in of herb sales at that time. Operations for the three months
ended September 30,1999 showed a continuing loss on reduced sales and working
capital was reduced by a marked reduction in accounts receivable. Loss for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 is $144,000.
Management believes that the Company's working capital resources and
anticipated cash flow from timber sales will be sufficient to support operations
during the year ending March 31, 2000. However, management continues to seek
alternative financing for the continued opportunities in South America.
Results of Operations:
- ---------------------
During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's sales
efforts were disrupted by external causes. A loss was incurred this quarter of
$144,000 compared to a profit for the same period last year. Inventory was
static and purchases were made to supply customer needs for the quarter. The
seasonality of the operations continue, with sales improvement expected later in
the year. However, no assurance can be given that profitable sales of timber
products will continue through this fiscal year.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Wrights Executives, Inc., dba, Beacon Hill Resources vs. Madera
International, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, filed on February 7, 1995, in the
District Court of the State of Nevada, County of Cark, Case No. A 342542 is a
12

matter whereby the plaintiff alleged that it was owed $125,736.03 resulting from
an agreement entered into by plaintiff and Forest and Environmental Resources of
the Amazon, Inc. ("FEROA"), pursuant to which the plaintiff agreed to loan FEROA
$70,137.00, with interest to accrue at the rate of one and one-half percent (1
1/2%) per month. In furtherance of the agreement, FEROA executed a promissory
note in the amount of $88,000.00 on July 2, 1988 in favor of plaintiff.
Plaintiff alleged that FEROA transferred all of its assets consisting of timber
properties and concessions to defendant, and that stock paid by the defendant in
consideration of the transfer was not transferred to FEROA, but to Ramiro
Fernandez-Moris, the chairman of FEROA, resulting in FEROA becoming insolvent,
and unable to pay its obligation to the plaintiff. A Motion for Summary Judgment
against the Company was substantiated on November 27, 1995, and the Company
ordered to pay the sum of $158,834.00 to the Plaintiff. Registrant has settled
this matter on behalf of Registrant, Ramiro Fernandez-Moris and FEROA. The
settlement is for $171,500.00, payable at a minimum of $5,000.00 per month,
commencing May 1996, and continuing until the debt is paid off. Plaintiff has
the option to convert into common stock at a 25% discount from the bid price as
long as the bid price is $0.50 per share or higher. This option applies only
after the stock reaches a bid price of $0.50, and may be exercised in any
portion of the total value. This claim was being paid by Registrant until
Registrant's Lawyers advised that the judgment was not properly issued at which
time payments were stopped and legal issues again began. The judgment still
exists and the balance due is reflected in the financial statements.
Registrant is presently under an informal investigation being conducted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although Registrant has received notice
of the investigation, Registrant has no knowledge of the reason or cause for the
investigation and is waiting for the results of the various inquiries to report
the reason.
Subsequent to year end a lawsuit was filed against Registrant and it's CEO
by Arthur Mintz, a former director. The lawsuit relates to loans made by Mr.
Mintz. Registrant and it's CEO are vigorously opposing the lawsuit and believe
that the evidence once presented will show that Mr. Mintz has not presented an
accurate picture.
