Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ------   -------------------------------------

On January 29, 1996 Fischer-Watt  Gold Company,  Inc.,  ("FWG"),  acquired Great
Basin Management Co., Inc.,  ("GBM"),  through the merger of a subsidiary of the
Company,  GBM Acquisition Corp., with GBM. This significant  acquisition results
in  FWG  owning  100  percent  of the  business  and  assets  of  GBM  (and  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Great Basin  Exploration  and Mining Co., Inc.) which
will continue to operate as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of FWG. GBM, holds leases
on several mineral properties in the Battle  Mountain-Eureka  Trend in Nevada as
well as additional exploration properties in Nevada and California.  Dr. Anthony
P. Taylor was the largest  shareholder,  President  and a Director of GBM. He is
also a Director  of FWG.  His  potential  conflict  of  interest  was taken into
consideration  by FWG's board of  directors  and the merger was approved in good
faith by a vote sufficient for the purpose without counting Dr. Taylor's vote.

Pursuant  to the  terms  of the  merger,  FWG  issued  4,125,660  shares  to the
shareholders of GBM. The amount of consideration was not determined by reference
to any particular  principle,  but rather was determined solely as the result of
extensive arm's-length negotiations.

Following the merger,  Dr. Taylor was appointed Vice  President,  Exploration of
FWG.  Effective  September  16, 1996,  Dr.  Taylor  resigned as Vice  President,
Exploration and is from time to time engaged by FWG as a consultant.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT




To the Stockholder and Board of Directors
Great Basin Exploration & Mining Co., Inc.
Reno, Nevada

     We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Great Basin Exploration
& Mining Co., Inc. (a Nevada  corporation),  A  Development  Stage  Company,  (a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Great Basin  Management  Co.,  Inc., as of June 30,
1995,  and of Serem Gatro Canada Inc as of June 30,  1994),  as of June 30, 1995
and 1994, and the related  statements of operations and cash flows for the years
ended  June 30,  1995 and  1994,  and for the  period  June  18,  1990  (Date of
Inception)  through June 30,  1995,  and  statement of changes in  stockholder's
equity  (deficit)  for the period June 13, 1990 (Date of  Inception) to June 30,
1995.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Great Basin Exploration &
Mining Co., Inc., A Development Stage Company, as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, the
results of its  operations  and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1995 and
1994,  and for the period June 18,  1990 (Date of  Inception)  through  June 30,
1995,  and the  changes in  stockholder's  deficit  for the period June 18, 1990
(Date of  Inception) to June 30, 1995, in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

     Our  audits  were made for the  purpose  of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedules of abandoned
properties  and unproven  properties  are  presented  for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements.  Such
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the  examination  of the basic  financial  statements  and, in our opinion,  are
fairly stated in all material  respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

     The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will  continue as a going  concern.  As  reflected  in the  accompanying
financial  statements,  revenue of $60,000 has been  generated by operations and
the Company has incurred a net operating loss of $11,062,840 for the period June
18, 1990 (Date of  Inception)  through June 30,  1995.  The Company is dependent
upon its  stockholder  for monies to meet its  current  and  future  operations.
Failure by the  stockholder  to make  additional  funding to the  Company  would
substantially  impair the Company's  ability to realize its investment in assets
through future successful operations.  The Company is engaged in the exploration
for mineral deposits which is a highly speculative industry.  Realization of the
carrying value of the assets  included in the balance sheet referred to above is
dependent on the Company's successful future operations.  These conditions raise
substantial  doubt about the Company's  ability to continue as a going  concern.
The financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

                           A Development Stage Company
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                      For the Years Ended June 30, 1995 and
                 1994 and For the Period June 18, 1990 (Date of
                        Inception) Through June 30, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT
       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Nature of Activities:

       The Company is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Great Basin  Management Co.,
       Inc. The Company's  operations consist  principally of the exploration of
       mineral reserves primarily in Nevada and surrounding  western states. The
       Company also conducts  exploration  activities in Mexico. The Company has
       generated $60,000 of revenue from these operations.

       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

       o    Ownership:  As  of  May 31, 1995,  all issued and outstanding shares
            of  Great  Basin  Exploration  &  Mining  Co.,  Inc.   (GBEM),  were
            purchased  from   Serem  Gatro  Canada   Inc  (SGC)  by Great  Basin
            Management Co., Inc. (GBM)  for  one dollar  ($1.00).   Prior to the
            sale,  SGC   contributed   previous  loans   and  advances  totaling
            $11,250,234 to the paid-in capital of GBEM.

            A  participation  agreement  among  SGC,  and  GBEM and GBM was also
            signed as of May 31,  1995.  This  agreement  allows SGC to elect to
            acquire a participation interest of up to 40% in respect to any core
            property  and,  up to 10% in  respect  of any other  property.  Core
            properties  are properties  GBEM has previously  obtained with funds
            advanced by SGC. If SGC elects to acquire a participation  interest,
            SGC will  receive  a  credit  for past  expenditures  on these  core
            properties up to $2,222,292.

       o    Mining  Exploration and  Development:  The  Company accounts for its
            mining operations  by use  of the successful efforts  method.  Under
            this method  of accounting,  exploration  costs, including drilling,
            geological  and   geophysical  costs,   are  expensed  as  incurred.
            Acquisition   costs   incurred   as  fee   interests   or  leasehold
            interests  are  capitalized.  Lease  bonus costs, surveying,  legal,
            recording  and  other  directly  related  costs of  acquisition  are
            also  capitalized as  acquisition   costs.  Capitalized  acquisition
            costs  are charged  to expense  when the property is determined  not
            to  be commercially  productive.  Intangible  development costs are
            expensed  as  incurred.  Tangible development  costs are capitalized
            and amortized.

       o    Mining   Properties:   Mining  Properties   consist  of  unrecovered
            acquisition  costs.  The Company has not commenced  any  development
            work as of June 30, 1995.  The Company  capitalized  costs  directly
            attributable  to  the   acquisition  of  mineral  leases.   Ultimate
            realization of the investment in mining properties is dependent upon
            the  disposition of such properties or the discovery and disposition
            of mineral reserves.

       o    Abandonment  of  Unproven   Properties:   Unproven   properties  are
            continually   evaluated  by  management  for  possible   impairment.
            Management  considers  all relevant  facts and  circumstances  known
            about each  property  including  the results of  drilling  and other
            exploration  activities,  the likelihood that additional exploration
            activities  will be undertaken,  the expiration  time period for the
            lease,  the costs of holding the lease  related to claim  rental and

                   GREAT BASIN EXPLORATION & MINING CO., INC.
                           A Development Stage Company
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                      For the Years Ended June 30, 1995 and
                 1994 and For the Period June 18, 1990 (Date of
                        Inception) Through June 30, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            other  claim   maintenance   amounts   including  rentals  and  work
            commitments,  and the likelihood that joint ventures with others may
            be undertaken.  If management determines that continuing to hold the
            lease is not  feasible,  the  capitalized  land costs are charged to
            abandoned  properties  together with the current  exploration  costs
            associated with the property.

       o    Depreciation:  The Company  provides for depreciation of automobiles
            and office furniture and equipment on a straight-line basis over the
            estimated  useful  lives of the assets which vary from three to five
            years.

       o    Intangibles:  Intangible  assets are stated at cost less  applicable
            amortization.  Organization  costs are being  amortized  over  sixty
            months on a straight-line basis.

       o    Provision for Reduction in Carrying  Value:  The Company reduces the
            carrying  value of  assets  that will  result  in a loss upon  sale,
            disposition  or  abandonment  as soon as the  net  realizable  value
            becomes known.

       o    Income  Taxes:  Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are
            computed annually for differences  between the financial  statements
            and tax bases of assets and liabilities  that will result in taxable
            or  deductible  amounts in the future  based on enacted tax laws and
            rates  applicable  to the  periods  in  which  the  differences  are
            expected  to  affect  taxable  income.   Valuation   allowances  are
            established  when  necessary  to reduce  deferred  tax assets to the
            amount  expected  to be  realized.  Income  tax  expense  is the tax
            payable  or  refundable  for the  period,  plus or minus the  change
            during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

       o    Use  of  Estimates:  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, liabilities,  revenues and expenses, and
            the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results
            could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

2.     UNPROVEN PROPERTIES

       The Company  has  capitalized  lease  acquisition  and  related  costs on
       properties acquired but not yet proven as having commercially developable
       mineral  reserves of $738,293 at June 30, 1995,  and $516,939 at June 30,
       1994.  The  Company  has  charged to expense  exploration  costs on these
       properties of $105,391 for the year ended June 30, 1995, and $518,712 for
       the year ended June 30, 1994.  During the year ended June 30,  1995,  the
       Company abandoned and charged to expense properties previously classified
       as unproven  with  capitalized  costs of $66,934 and $159,979  during the
       year ended June 30, 1994.

3.     DEPOSITS

       The Company is required under various land lease and rental agreements to
       provide  deposits in the name of the landholder to assure  reclamation of
       the  land.  At June 30,  1995,  and June 30,  1994,  respectively,  these
       required deposits total $4,000 and $5,000, and have been invested in time
       certificates of deposit in the name of the Company and the lessor.

                 1994 and For the Period June 18, 1990 (Date of
                        Inception) Through June 30, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The Company also has deposits  totaling $514 and $1,983 for rent deposits
       and State  Industrial  Insurance  purposes  at June 30,  1995,  and 1994,
       respectively.

4.     FUNDINGS FROM STOCKHOLDER - INTEREST
       FREE

       The  Stockholder  of the  Company  has  advanced  operating  funds  on an
       interest-free  basis.  The funds have been  advanced at various dates and
       have no fixed  repayment  dates.  From June 18, 1990 (Date of  Inception)
       through  May  31,  1995,  interest-free  fundings  to the  Company  total
       $6,763,500   and  repayments  of  these   interest-free   fundings  total
       $4,165,000.  The balance of these  interest-free  fundings to the Company
       totals $2,598,500.  As of May 31, 1995, these interest-free fundings were
       contributed to paid-in-capital of the Company.

5.     NOTES PAYABLE - STOCKHOLDER

       The Company issued interest-bearing  promissory notes to stockholders for
       fundings totaling $2,840,500.The Company has received additional fundings
       from  stockholders   totaling $5,911,134.   The  Company  did  not  issue
       promissory notes on these additional fundings.  Management of the Company
       believed that these fundings were subject to the same terms,  conditions,
       and interest  rates as the previous  fundings evidenced by the promissory
       notes and has accrued interest expense on these additional fundings.

       As of May 31, 1995, Serem Gatro Canada Inc received promissory notes from
       the Company for fundings not  evidenced by promissory  notes,  as well as
       new promissory notes for the original  promissory notes.  Also, as of May
       31, 1995, the total amount of past fundings evidenced by the original and
       new  promissory  notes,  minus  $100,000  which was  treated  as  "Bridge
       Financing"  and  required  to be repaid by not later than  September  30,
       1995, was transferred to paid-in-capital  of the Company.  All promissory
       notes except for the "Bridge Financing" were canceled as of May 31, 1995.

       For the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded interest
       expense of $350,000  and  $300,000 on the notes and  fundings the Company
       believed  subject  to the terms,  conditions  and  interest  rates of the
       original promissory notes. The Company did not accrue interest expense on
       the fundings which have been treated as  interest-free in prior years. No
       interest was paid on these notes and fundings during the years ended June
       30, 1995 and 1994.

       As of May 31, 1995,  Serem Gatro Canada Inc forgave the interest on these
       notes  and  fundings.   The  Company  treated  this   forgiveness  as  an
       extraordinary item in the financial statements at June 30, 1995.

7.     RETIREMENT PLAN

       On  November  1, 1990,  the  Company  established  a  qualified  deferred
       compensation  plan in  accordance  with  Section  401(k) of the  Internal
       Revenue Code. Under terms of the plan, an eligible  employee can elect to
       defer from 1% to 15% of his or her compensation into the retirement plan.
       The Company will make a discretionary contribution to the plan which will
       be determined  each year.  The total of all  contributions  is subject to
       certain  limits  imposed  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Service.   Eligible
       employees  are all  employees  except  employees  covered by a collective
       bargaining  agreement in which  retirement  benefits  were the subject of

10.    DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

       Effective July 1, 1993,  the Company  adopted the provisions of Statement
       of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
       (SFAS 109).  SFAS 109 requires that deferred income taxes reflect the tax
       consequences  on future  years of  differences  between  the tax basis of
       assets  and  liabilities  and  their  financial  reporting  amounts.  The
       statement generally allows the recognition of deferred tax assets related
       to the anticipated  benefit of net operating loss ("NOL")  carryforwards,
       subject to certain valuation allowance adjustments.

       As of June  30,  1995,  the  Company  had a net  operating  loss  ("NOL")
       carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $10,815,000
       that may be used in future years to offset taxable income. Utilization of
       the Company's NOL  carryforward  is subject to annual  limitations due to
       certain stock  ownership  changes that have occurred or may occur. To the
       extent not utilized, the NOL carryforward will begin to expire in 2005.

       A valuation  allowance is required by SFAS 109 if, based on the weight of
       available evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the
       deferred tax assets will not be  realized.  Management  concluded  that a
       valuation allowance was appropriate at June 30, 1995 and 1994, due to the
       inability of the Company to generate  significant  revenue or profits and
       the stock  ownership  changes that have  occurred or may occur.  Based on
       available evidence,  management concluded that the valuation allowance at
       June 30, 1995 and 1994,  should  equal the total of the net  deferred tax
       assets and liabilities.

       The components of deferred tax assets and
       liabilities pursuant to SFAS No. 109 are:

       Deferred tax assets
         Net operating losses      $3,677,000   $3,415,000
         Depreciation                  10,000        5,000
         Exploration costs             72,000       96,000
                                   ----------   ----------
                                    3,759,000    3,516,000

       Deferred tax liabilities
       Amortization of
          exploration costs            53,000       35,000

       Valuation allowance         (3,706,000)  (3,481,000)

       Net deferred tax asset      $    -0-     $   -0-

11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       Going Concern

       As  shown in the  accompanying  financial  statements,  the  Company  has
       incurred a net  operating  loss of  $11,062,840  for the period  June 18,
       1990, (Date of Inception) through June 30, 1995, and as of that date, the
       Company's  current  liabilities  exceeded its current assets by $128,304.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                      For the Years Ended June 30, 1995 and
                 1994 and For the Period June 18, 1990 (Date of
                        Inception) Through June 30, 1995

       Those  factors,  as well as  uncertain  future  funding for the  Company,
       create an uncertainty  about the Company's ability to continue as a going
       concern. The Company's continued existence depends on the willingness and
       ability  of its  stockholder  to make  additional  fundings  as they  are
       required to the Company.

       Great  Basin Management  Co.,  Inc.,  the  parent  company,  merged  with
       Fischer-Watt Gold Company,  Inc., on January 30, 1996.  Management of the
       Company  has  indicated  that  this  merger  will  provide  a  source  of
       additional fundings to the Company.

       Litigation

       The  Company  is  involved  in  litigation  concerning  an  injury  to an
       individual  on a former  property.  The matter was tried in November 1994
       and a defense  verdict was rendered in favor of the Company.  The case is
       now on appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. The attorney for the liability
       carrier is hopeful  that the Nevada  Supreme  Court will  uphold the jury
       verdict  and the  rulings  of the trial  judge.  The  corporate  attorney
       believes the litigation to be the insurance company's  responsibility and
       perceives  no  liability  on the  part of the  Company.  Accordingly,  no
       liability  has  been  recorded  in  the  financial  statements  for  this
       litigation. The Company is not involved in any other litigation.

       Exploration

       As a result of a change in mining  law,  the  Company is subject to claim
       rental  fees  for  mining  claims  on  federally  owned  lands.  For  the
       assessment  year ending  September  1, 1994,  and  thereafter,  the claim
       rental fee will be paid by August 31 of the  assessment  year. The change
       in  mining  law  changes  the  timing  of the  payment  from  arrears  to
       paid-in-advance. Leases not maintained by the Company will not be subject
       to the claim  rental  fee.  Based on the  number of  leases  the  Company
       currently holds or is currently maintaining,  the potential liability for
       claim  rental fees is $142,800  for the year  ending June 30,  1995,  and
       $71,400 thereafter.

       The Company's  property  holdings  require certain work commitments to be
       performed to satisfy  holding  requirements  of the leases.  In addition,
       minimum  lease and/or claim rental  payments  must be made to satisfy the
       conditions  of the leases.  If the Company does not desire to continue to
       hold the lease, the Company may forfeit the property under the conditions
       of the lease by timely and proper notification to the lessor.

       The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and
       regulations.  These may result in  obligations  to remove or mitigate the
       effects on the environment of the exploration  activities of the Company.
       Management has determined  that no provision for estimated  liability for
       any cleanup is required in the financial statements.

12.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

       On January 3, 1996,  Fischer-Watt Gold Company,  Inc. (FWG) made an offer
       to the  stockholders of Great Basin  Management Co., Inc. (GBM), a Nevada
       corporation,  the  owner  of the  GBEM,  to  approve  the  merger  of GBM
       Acquisition  Corp., a Nevada  corporation,  a newly-formed,  wholly-owned
       subsidiary  of  Fischer-Watt  Gold  Company,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation
       (FWG).

       As a result of the Merger,  GBM will become a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
       FWG. Upon the  effectiveness  of the Merger,  each issued and outstanding
       share of Common Stock of GBM, no par value,  will be converted into 3,102
       shares of FWG Common  Stock.  An  aggregate  of  4,125,660  shares of FWG
       Common  Stock  will  be  issued  by  FWG  in  the  Merger,   representing
       approximately  18.3% of the issued and  outstanding  shares of FWG Common
       Stock (approximately 14.6% on a fully-diluted basis).

       Anthony P. Taylor, Ph.D., is President and a director of GBEM, President,
       a director, and a stockholder of GBM and also a director of FWG.

       On December  29,  1995,  the  closing bid and asked  prices of FWG Common
       Stock were $.33 and $.41, respectively.  The FWG Common Stock is trade on
       THE NASD OTC Bulletin Board Service.

       On August 28, 1995, in  anticipation  of the Merger,  GBM and FWG entered
       into  a Loan agreement  in which FWG agreed to loan GBM up to $108,447 so
       that GBM would be able to retain  property  positions held by the Company
       during the period required to perform due diligence,  prepare  definitive
       documentation  and obtain  necessary  approvals  in  connection  with the
       Merger.  Under  the terms of the loan  agreement,  as  amended,  the loan
       amount  and  accrued  interest  thereon  (at 11.75% per annum) is due and
       payable  February 1, 1996. As collateral  security for the loan,  GBM has
       pledged all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Company.
