received in excess of the Company's proportionate share of accumulated earnings
("return of capital dividends") are applied as a reduction of the cost of the
investment. No securities were sold during 2000 and 1999 and all securities were
treated as available for sale for 2000 and 1999. The net unrealised loss of
A$612 and A$5,855 shown in the Statement of Stockholders Equity for 2001, 2000

(1) Repaid through the issuance of 4,000,000 post split shares. Balance at the
date of the stock issuance was approximately $4,076,000. An amount of
A$7,000 was repaid on January 20, 2000 partly through the issuance of
8,000,000 options to purchase previously unissued stock. Both issuance's
were to a company affiliated with the President of Bay Resources.
(4) AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
Bay Resources advances to and receives advances from various affiliates. All
advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on consolidation. At
September 30, 2000, Bay Resources had no outstanding advances to or from
unconsolidated affiliated companies. $213,000, $245,000 and $299,000 of accounts
payable for the years shown is due to an affiliated management company.
(5) GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates
continuation of Bay Resources as a going concern. However, Bay Resources has
sustained recurring losses. In addition, Bay Resources has a net working capital
deficiency which raises substantial doubts as to its ability to continue as
going concerns.
Bay Resources anticipates that it will be able to defer repayment of certain of
its short term loan commitments until it has sufficient liquidity to enable
these loans to be repaid or other arrangements to be put in place.
In addition Bay Resources has historically relied on loans and advances from
corporations affiliated with the President of Bay Resources. Based on
discussions with these affiliate companies, Bay Resources believes this source
of funding will continue to be available.
Other than the arrangements noted above, Bay Resources has not confirmed any
other arrangement for ongoing funding. As a result Bay Resources may be required
to raise funds by additional debt or equity offerings in order to meet its cash
flow requirements during the forthcoming year.
(6) SALE OF SOLMECS
Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 5, 1998, the Company
acquired 499,701 shares in SCNV Acquisition Corp ("SCNV"), representing
approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding share capital of SCNV, in return
for the whole of the share capital of Solmecs Corporation N.V., a Netherlands
Antilles company which prior to the exchange was formerly a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The 499,701 shares has been valued at US$2,800,000 or
A$4,516,000 and will be accounted for using the cost method because the Company
does not exercise significant influences over SCNV's operating and financial
activities (see note 4). The sale resulted in a gain of $5,899,000 which is
included in other income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2000, June 30, 2000 and
September 30, 1999
(6) SALE OF SOLMECS (CONTINUED)
SCNV is a Delaware corporation established May 1997 to select, develop and
commercially exploit proprietary technologies, in various stages of development,
invented primary by scientists who immigrated to Israel from and by scientists
and institutions in Russia and other countries that formerly comprised the
Soviet Union. Simultaneously with the SCNV stock acquisition by the Company,
SCNV completed an initial public offering of common stock and warrants which
resulted in gross proceeds of approximately US$5,900,000.
The Company has been granted certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights
with respect to the SCNV shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has
agreed not to sell, grant options for sale or assign or transfer any of the SCNV
shares, for a period of 24 months from the closing of the ("Lock-up") agreement,
which expired in June 2000. Bay Resources has requested SCNV to take the
necessary steps to register Bay Resources' shareholding in SCNV.
(7) INCOME TAXES
Bay Resources files its income tax returns on an accrual basis. Bayou
has carry forward losses of approximately US$15 million as of June 30, 2000
which expire in the years 1999 through 2012. Bay Resources will need to file tax
returns for those years of the NOL carryforwards. Due to the uncertainty as to
realisation of these losses, a valuation allowance of US$5.0 million has been
recorded to off set the tax benefit of the carry forward losses.
(8) NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
On May 23, 2000 the Company announced their intention to join with Primus
Telecom, an International Data, Internet and Telecommunications company, to
develop a global electronic trading community ("Portal") to date, no financial
commitments have been agreed to.
On September 27, 2000 the Company announced their intention to acquire a
strategic investment in St Andrew Goldfields Ltd, ("St Andrew") subject to the
completion of due diligence. The Company will issue, if completed, 1 million
shares to St Andrew who, in exchange, will issue 16 millions shares to the
Company and 16 million common share purchase warrants with an exercise period of
36 months. The Company will hold an approximate 36% interest in St Andrew. The
agreement also requires St Andrew to refinance existing debt and raise further
working capital, on a best endeavours basis.
(9) CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the year ended June 30, 2000 the Company completed the following
transactions:
(a) On June 29, 1999 the Company undertook a reverse stock split on a 1:20
basis and changed its par value from US$0.15 to US$0.0001 per share.
(b) On October 7,1999 the Company issued 4,000,000 post split shares, to a
Company affiliated with the President of Bay Resources, in lieu of payment
of $4,076,000 in borrowings.
(c) On January 20, 2000 the Company issued 8,000,000 options to purchase
previously unissued stock to a company affiliated with the President of
Bay Resources. Total consideration totalled $120,000 and included both
cash and partial debt repayment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FUND COSTS CONVERSION
The consolidated statements of income and other financial and operating data
contained elsewhere here in and the consolidated balance sheets and financial
results have been reflected in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.
The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the Australian dollar
as compared to the US dollar during the periods indicated:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
3 months ended September 30, 1999 A$1.00 = U.S. $.6518
3 months ended September 30, 2000 A$1.00 = U.S. $.5407
</TABLE>
RESULTS OF OPERATION
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 1999.
Costs and expenses increased from A$92,000 in the three months ended September
30, 1999 to A$393,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2000. The
Company's financial statements are prepared in Australian dollars (A$). Since
September 30, 1999 the A$ compared to the United States dollar (US$) has fallen
by 17%. A number of the costs and expenses of the Company are incurred in US$
and the conversion of these costs to A$ means that the comparison of September
2000 to 1999 does not always present a true comparison. The increase is a net
result of:
a) a decrease in interest expense from A$58,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 to A$14,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2000 as a result of the reduction in long term debt of the Company
required to fund the Company's operations which partially offset an
increase in interest rates over that period.
b) an increase in legal accounting and professional expense from A$4,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 to A$9,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 as a result of the increase in the level of
activity in the review of new business activities such as the business to
business (B2B) project being undertaken with Primus Telecom.
c) an increase in administrative costs including salaries from A$30,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1999 to A$152,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 2000 as a result of the increase in the level of
activity in the review of new business activities such as the business to
business (B2B) project being undertaken with Primus Telecom.
As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations increased from A$92,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to A$175,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000.
The net loss was A$175,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to a net loss of A$92,000 for the thee months ended September 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2000 the Company had short-term obligations of A$250,000
comprising accounts payable and accrued expenses and long term debt of
A$430,000.
The Company anticipates that it will be able to defer repayment of certain of
its short term loan commitments until it has sufficient liquidity to enable
these loans to be repaid which there can be no assurance. In addition the
Company has historically relied upon loans and advances from affiliates to meet
a significant portion of the Company's cash flow requirements which the Company
believes based on discussions with such affiliates will continue to be available
during fiscal 2001.
Other than the arrangements above the Company has not confirmed any further
arrangements for ongoing funding. As a result the Company may be required to
raise funds from additional debt or equity offerings and/or increase the
revenues from operations in order to meet its cash flow requirements during the
forthcoming year.
