Factors Affecting Future Operating Results:
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND CONTINUING LOSSES.
The Company has a limited operating history which makes an evaluation
of its business operations and future prospects difficult. The Company has had
no revenues from operations in the last three fiscal years. The Company has
incurred operating losses and negative cash flow each quarter and each year
since 1993. The Company's accumulated deficit was $1,755,035 at September 30,
1999. The Company believes it will continue to experience net losses on a
quarterly and annual basis for the foreseeable future.
ABILITY TO COMPLETE NEVADA PROJECT UNPROVEN.
The Company believes a significant portion of its revenues, if any,
will be generated by the Nevada Project. The exploration and utilization of deep
water reservoirs to provide potable water to municipalities will require
substantial financial, operational and management resources. The Company has not
been able to implement its plans due to insufficient financial resources. As a
result, the Company's ability to locate substantial deep water reservoirs
capable of being utilized or sold is unknown. The Company's inability to locate
and utilize significant water reserves capable of being transported to the end
user would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and
financial condition.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.
The Company's ability to pursue the Nevada Project and implement its
business strategy is substantially dependant upon its ability to locate
additional financing in the amount of at least $500,000. The exact amount of
additional financing required will depend on various factors including the
following: the ability of the Company to enter into an agreement with a
municipality or water provider, the speed with which the water extraction can be
completed, the ability of the Company to arrange for transport of the water to
the end user and the ability of the Company to obtain local, state and federal
approvals. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the
funds necessary to exploit the Database, complete the Nevada Project or to
otherwise conduct its business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
General
Southwestern Water Exploration Co. (the "Company"), was incorporated in
the State of Colorado on June 10, 1987. The Company's activities from inception
consisted primarily of reviewing possible business opportunities and
acquisitions, and maintaining the business entity. The Company had only nominal
net assets and no operational activities from the fiscal years 1987 through 1993
and all expenses incurred were solely related to maintaining the entity and
reviewing potential business opportunities.
The Company intends to develop and market potable water throughout the
American Southwest. During its development stage, the Company acquired the
Database which it believes will provide surface drilling locations to mine deep
(below 2,000 ft) subsurface aquifers.
The Company has identified a number of sites which it believes will
provide potable water, including a significant water reservoir in Nevada, by
utilizing the Database. Once developed, it is the intent of the Company to
market the water from these sites. If the marketing effort is unsuccessful, the
Company intends to sell the water rights to these sites. The Database provides
specific information including surface location, depth(s) of aquifers,
temperature, production capability, and mineral properties from wells previously
drilled for hydrocarbons and subsequently abandoned.
Management believes that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements
from existing funds for another three months. The Company intends to meet its
future capital needs by raising additional funds through a private placement of
its securities. The Company anticipates that funding of future operations will
be provided by the completion of this private placement for a minimum of $1.5
million. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be
successful in the completion of the private placement. In the event the private
placement is not successful, or fails to raise sufficient funds, the Company may
seek alternative financing in the form of short-term or long-term debt or
securities convertible into common stock of the Company.
In the event the private financing is successful, the Company intends
to engage Messrs. Misner and Webb as full-time employees and pay them monthly
salaries of approximately $5,000 per month, respectively. Even if the amount
raised in the private placement meets the Company's expectations, the Company
does not plan to hire additional employees or purchase or acquire plant or
significant equipment. The Company will meet its personnel, drilling and
pipeline requirements by contracting for these services with third parties.
