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.

<PAGE>
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
(Continued)
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.
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.
Page 8
<PAGE>
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.
D. Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
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.

<PAGE>
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 $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, 1998 and 1997 consist of the following:

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 cancelled.
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

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 determination of
continuing payments is now before Florida courts and will be decided
in fiscal 1999. This has been fully reserved on the books of the
company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT' S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
Financial Condition:
The Company's working capital resources during the three months ended
June 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 three months ended June 30, 1998,and 1999 saw a
reduction of the Company's debt to related parties. The Company's operations for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 utilized cash resources for continuing to
build its inventory, but also provided additional working capital with increased
sales and a profitable operation. The company's operations for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 showed a small profit on reduced sales and working capital
was reduced by a marked reduction in accounts receivable. Losses for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 is $18,165.
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 June 30, 1999, the Company's sales
efforts were disrupted by external causes. A small loss for the period was the
result of this disruption and was $18,165 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
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 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.
