PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on
June 10, 1988, under the name Andraplex Corporation, for the primary purpose of
creating a vehicle to obtain capital to take advantage of business opportunities
which may have the potential for profit. From inception until December 12, 1991
the primary activity of the Company was directed to organizational efforts,
obtaining initial financing, completion of its public offering on November 27,
1989 and identification of a business opportunity.
From 1993 through December 31, 1998, the Company was principally
engaged in the development stage of the metals mining business. The Company owns
certain mining properties held under patent. During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998, the Company did not engage in any material mining business
due primarily to (i) a lack of available funds with which to develop its
properties; and (ii) adoption of various new state and federal regulations. The
Company's mining properties include three patented mining claims located in the
Yaak Mining District, Lincoln County, Montana, adjoining the Company's
properties discussed in (a), above. These properties were acquired from Rio
Bravo Resources, Ltd. by quit claim deed in November 1993 and although the title
to these properties was unclear, on August 30, 1995, all title problems to these
properties were resolved to the Company's satisfaction, as the United States
Bureau of Land Management issued clear, undivided, uncontested title to these
properties.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, management elected to
cease maintaining the Company's mining presence in Montana because the cost of
such maintenance has become prohibitive. As a result of the Company's
considerable cash flow problems, management has reviewed the business plan of
the Company in order to ascertain a direction for the Company during fiscal 1999
and beyond. Among the matters presently being discussed by management concerning
the Company's future are (i) locating and merging with another company who is
seeking to merge with an entity whose securities are presently trading; or (ii)
changing the principal business of the Company. Relevant to (i), a number of
potential merger candidates have been presented to management; however, none of
these candidates has been acceptable to the Company. See "Part II, Item 6,
Management's Discussion and Analysis - Plan of Operation."
Relevant to (ii), the Company is presently evaluating the possibility
of a long term commitment to an agricultural development project located in
Mongolia. Specifically, the Company is engaged in discussions with the "Bornuur"
Company, a Mongolian corporation, to acquire an interest in approximately 24,710
acres
-3-
<PAGE>
of farm land located approximately 65 miles north of Ulaanbaarar, Mongolia. This
farm land has been in production for over 100 years. Current production includes
cabbage, carrots, beets, turnips, wheat, onions, garlic, hay, potatoes, tomatoes
and cucumbers, plus 4,000 head of livestock, including cows, horses, sheep and
goats. In July 1997 the Mongolian government adopted new legislation privatizing
farm land, which management believes presents certain opportunities which the
Company may be able to take advantage. In this regard, in July 1998, the Company
successfully negotiating a lease with the Mongolian government for a minimum of
a 60 year term and privatization of the project district. However, in order to
commence this proposed business plan, it is estimated that the project will
require a cash infusion of approximately $2.5 million to implement the operating
schedule and achieve profitable operations. As of the date of this report, the
Company has had negotiations with prospective lenders in this regard, but no
definitive commitment has been provided and no assurances can be provided that
such an agreement will be reached in the future. In the event financing of this
project is unavailable, management intends to cause the Company to seek out and
acquire another business opportunity. See "Part II, Item 6, Management's
Discussion - Plan of Operation."
Other Business Activities
In addition, the Company is General Partner of the Yaak River
Resources, Timber Division, L.P., a Colorado limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), which intends to harvest timber located on properties presently
owned by the Company. The Partnership intends to harvest timber and develop
certain mineral resources located on defined mining claims and patented claims
presently owned or controlled by the Company. During the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership only engaged in administrative
activities.
Competition
The Company is a small mining company which has not commenced mining
activities as of the dates of this report. The Company is not competitive with
other larger and better financed mining companies. Relative to the proposed new
business plan which may be adopted in the near future, the Company is and will
continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers
with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities.
A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture
capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be
desirable target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than the Company and, consequently, the Company will be at a
competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and
successfully completing a
-4-
<PAGE>
business combination. Moreover, the Company will also compete in seeking merger
or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies.
Government Regulations
The Company's operations are subject to numerous federal and state
governmental regulations, including environmental laws, as they relate to mining
activities. Management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance
with all applicable governmental regulations as of the date of this report.
Employees
The Company's employees consist of Wm. Ernest Simmons, its President,
who performs his services to the Company without compensation. See "Part III,
Item 10, Executive Compensation" below. The Company does not have any other
employees at the date of this report. The officers operate the Company under the
direction of the Board of Directors. The Company does not contemplate retaining
any employees until mining activities are commenced, or until such time as the
Company successfully consummates a merger, acquisition or enters into a new
business, of which there can be no assurance.
Item 2. Description of Property
The Company's principal place of business is located at 830 S. Kline
Way, Lakewood, Colorado 80226, which is the home of Mr. Simmons, President and a
director of the Company. This property is provided to the Company on a rent free
basis, except that the Company is obligated to pay for clerical functions,
including copies, facsimile transmissions, telephone and other general and
administrative matters, estimated by management not to exceed $200 per month.
These premises include one office of approximately 280 square feet. Management
of the Company believes that this space will be sufficient to meet the Company's
needs during the next 12 months, provided that the Company does not successfully
consummate a merger or acquisition or enter into any new business venture.
The Company owns and manages 3 patented mining claims on properties
located in the State of Montana. The Company's mining properties are located in
Lincoln County, approximately 25 miles northwest of Troy, Montana, in Sections
8, 9, 16, 17, T28N, R33W, MPM, northwest of the deserted town of Sylvanite on
the east side of Friday Hill, an offshoot of Keystone Mountain. Elevations of
the properties are from approximately 2,500 to 3,500 feet above sea level. The
properties are accessed by state and county roads and are forested with larch,
white fir, douglas fir and lodgepole pine. See "Part I, Item 1, Description of
Business" for a more detailed description of the Company's mining properties.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company
(or any of its officers and directors in their capacities as such) is a party or
to which the property of the Company is subject and no such material proceeding
is known by management of the Company to be contemplated as of the date of this
report.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were presented to the shareholders of the Company during the
fourth quarter of the Company's 1998 fiscal year.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
The Company's Units, (comprised of one share of Series A Common Stock,
one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant and one Class B Common Stock Purchase
Warrant), and the Company's Series A Common Stock are traded on the
over-the-counter market on the OTC "Electronic Bulletin Board" operated by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbols YAAKU and
YAAKA, respectively. The Company's securities began trading during the first
quarter of the Company's fiscal year 1992. Prior, there was no trading market
for the Company's securities. Below are the reported high and low bid prices for
the Company's Units for the previous two fiscal years. The bid prices shown
reflect quotations between dealers, without adjustment for markups, markdowns or
commissions, and may not represent actual transactions in the Company's
securities.

The Company's market maker for its securities is Paragon Capital. As of
the date of this report, the Company had 42 shareholders, not including those
persons holding their securities in "street name."
-6-
<PAGE>
The Company's securities are presently classified as "designated
securities", which classification places significant restrictions upon
broker-dealers desiring to make a market in such securities. As a result, it has
been difficult for management to interest additional market makers in the
Company's securities and it is anticipated that these difficulties will continue
until such time as the Company is able to meet the criteria to qualify as a
non-designated security to allow additional market makers to trade without
complying with these stringent requirements.
The Class A Warrant included in the Company's Units is exercisable at
an exercise price of $.05 per share until July 6, 1999, unless otherwise
extended by the Board of Directors. The Class B Warrant is exercisable at an
exercise price of $.10 per share until July 6, 1999, unless otherwise extended
by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of the Warrants may be lowered but
not increased at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
Dividends
The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Class A
Common Stock to date. Management anticipates that future earnings, if any, will
be retained as working capital and used for business purposes. Accordingly, it
is unlikely that the Company will declare or pay any dividends in the
foreseeable future.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In
connection with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company
cautions readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following
discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or
on the behalf of the Company, whether or not in future filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements are statements
not based on historical information and which relate to future operations,
strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements
are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject
to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which,
with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These
uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company disclaims any
obligation to update forward looking statements.

<PAGE>
Plan of Operation
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Company did not
generate any revenues from its operations and the Company is considered a
development stage company. The plan of operation of the Company during the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1998 initially involved the acquisition of
additional mineral claims and the taking to patent of a number of the claims
acquired and to be acquired by the Company in the future. This was the same plan
which the Company's Board of Directors had established for the Company for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, but was unable to implement due to
lack of available funds necessary to undertake the same. Management is currently
reviewing the Company's plans for the future, but as of the date of this report,
no definitive decision has been made in this regard.
The Company incurred an operating loss during fiscal year 1998 of
$(78,712) compared to an operating loss of ($24,037) during fiscal year 1997.
The operations of the Company during the fiscal year 1998 were financed
primarily by loans from affiliates. See "Part III, Item 12 - Certain
Relationships and Related
Transactions."
As a result of the Company's considerable cash flow problems,
management has reviewed the business plan of the Company in order to ascertain a
direction for the Company during fiscal 1999 and thereafter. The Company's
financial condition is also negatively affected because of a moratorium placed
on the patenting of claims by the US federal government. Among the matters
presently being discussed by management concerning the Company's future are (i)
locating and merging with another company who is seeking to merge with an entity
whose securities are presently trading; or (ii) changing the principal business
of the Company. Relevant to (i), a number of potential merger candidates have
been presented to management; however, none of these candidates has been
acceptable to the Company.
Relevant to (ii), the Company is presently evaluating the possibility
of a long term commitment to an agricultural development project located in
Mongolia. Specifically, the Company is engaged in discussions with the "Bornuur"
Company, a Mongolian corporation, to acquire an interest in approximately 24,710
acres of farm land located approximately 65 miles north of Ulaanbaarar,
Mongolia. This farm land has been in production for over 100 years. Current
production includes cabbage, carrots, beets, turnips, wheat, onions, garlic,
hay, potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers, plus 4,000 head of livestock, including
cows, horses, sheep and goats. In July 1997 the Mongolian government adopted new
legislation privatizing farm land, which management believes presents certain
opportunities which the Company may be able to take advantage. In July 1998, the
Company negotiated an agreement with the Mongolian government for a minimum of a
60 year lease and
-8-
<PAGE>
privatization of the project district. However, it is estimated that the project
will require a cash infusion of approximately $2.5 million to implement the
operating schedule and achieve profitable operations. As of the date of this
report, the Company has had negotiations with prospective lenders in this
regard, but no definitive commitment has been provided and no assurances can be
provided that such an agreement will be reached in the future.
In the event the aforesaid Mongolian project does not materialize, the
Company's principal business plan will be to seek, investigate and, if such
investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented
to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages
of an entity whose securities have already been approved for trading on an
existing trading market. The Company will not restrict its search to any
specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may
participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This
discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to
be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and
enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may
be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the
Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See "Part II, Item 7
- - "Financial Statements." This lack of diversification should be considered a
substantial risk to shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the
Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have
recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace
in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or
markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.
The Company may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in
various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in
which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general
economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries
and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous
firms seeking the perceived benefits of a corporation whose securities have been
approved for trading. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or
improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought,
providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key
employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes),
for all shareholders and other factors. Potentially, available business
opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of
development, all of which will make the task of
-9-
<PAGE>
comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities
extremely difficult and complex.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or
under the supervision of, the officers and directors of the Company, none of
whom is a professional business analyst. Management intends to concentrate on
identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought
to its attention through present associations of the Company's officers and
directors, or by the Company's shareholders. In analyzing prospective business
opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical,
financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial
requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of
present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management
services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential
for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now
foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities
of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit;
the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products, services, or trades;
name identification; and other relevant factors. Officers and directors of the
Company expect to meet personally with management and key personnel of the
business opportunity as part of their investigation. To the extent possible, the
Company intends to utilize written reports and personal investigation to
evaluate the above factors. The Company will not acquire or merge with any
company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within a
reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.
Management of the Company, while not especially experienced in matters
relating to the new proposed business of the Company, shall rely upon their own
efforts and, to a much lesser extent, the efforts of the Company's shareholders,
in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. It is not anticipated
that any outside consultants or advisors will be utilized by the Company to
effectuate its business purposes described herein. However, if the Company does
retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned by such party
will need to be paid by the prospective merger/ acquisition candidate, as the
Company has no cash assets with which to pay such obligation. There have been no
contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in
the future.
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of
firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development
stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its
corporate life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any
business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need
to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or
may seek
-10-
<PAGE>
other perceived advantages which the Company may offer. However, the Company
does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the
operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as the Company
has successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition.
It is anticipated that the Company will incur nominal expenses in the
implementation of its business plan described herein. Because the Company has no
capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses, present management of the
Company will pay these charges with their personal funds, as interest free loans
to the Company. However, the only opportunity which management has to have these
loans repaid will be from a prospective merger or acquisition candidate.
Management has agreed among themselves that the repayment of any loans made on
behalf of the Company will not impede, or be made conditional in any manner, to
consummation of a proposed transaction.
The Company has no full time employees. The Company's President has
agreed to allocate a portion of his time to the activities of the Company,
without compensation. This officer anticipates that the business plan of the
Company can be implemented by his devoting minimal time per month to the
business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may
arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer. See "Part
III, Item 9 - Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons -
Resumes."
Year 2000 Disclosure
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year
in the date field. These programs were designed and developed without
considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not corrected,
many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the
Year 2000. As a result, many companies will be required to undertake major
projects to address the Year 2000 issue. Because the Company owns no personal
property such as computers, it is not anticipated that the Company will incur
any negative impact as a result of this potential problem.

Board of Directors
Yaak River Resources, Inc.
We have examined the accompanying balance sheet of Yaak River Resources, Inc. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and
the related statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders'
equity for the period June 10, 1988 (inception), through December 31, 1998, and
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. 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 audit 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.
As shown in the financial statements, the company incurred a net loss of $78,712
for 1998 and had incurred substantial losses in the prior years. At December 31,
998, current liabilities exceed current assets by $155,963. The factors indicate
that the Company has substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Yaak River Resources, Inc. at
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the period June 10, 1988 (inception), through December 31,
1998, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization:
On June 10, 1988, Yaak River Resources, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated under the laws of Colorado under the name of Andraplex
Corporation. The name was changed at the annual shareholder's meeting
on January 10, 1992. The Company's primary purpose is to engage in
selected acquisitions and development of mineral and mining properties.
Initial Public Offering:
In the Company's initial public offering, which was closed on November
27, 1989, the Company sold 2,580,000 units (the Units). 86,000
additional shares were issued to the underwriters. Each Unit consisted
of one (1) share of Series A Common Stock, one (1) A Warrant
exercisable at $.05, one (1) B Warrant exercisable at $.10.
Costs, consisting of $9,444 and 86,000 shares of Series A Common Stock,
incurred to complete the registration were offset against the gross
proceeds.
The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.
Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Corporation considers
all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 - Purchase of Mineral Properties:
On January 10, 1992, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the
shareholders voted unanimously to purchase certain mineral and mining
properties (the Properties) located in the State of Montana, including
leases, drawings, engineering studies and other tangible and intangible
assets associated with the Properties. The seller of the Properties was
Yaak River Mines, Ltd. They received 30,000,000 shares of Series A
Common Stock. The issuance of the 30,000,000 shares of Series A Common
Stock was exempt from registration under the exemption provided in
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Some of these mineral and mining properties were returned to the Roy
Grush Estate in lieu of the note outstanding.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
Note 3 - Yaak River Resources Timber Division, Limited Partnership:
On August 14, 1992, the Company formed a limited partnership, Yaak
River Resources Timber Division L.P. (the Partnership), a Colorado
limited partnership, with subscriptions for 40 Units at $5,000 per Unit
for an aggregate price of $200,000. Each Unit contains 1/40th interest
in the Partnership and 150,000 shares of Series A Common Stock of the
Company. The Company is the general Partner of the Partnership. As a
part of the formation of the Partnership, the Company agreed to reserve
6,000,000 shares of its Series A Common Stock for the Partnership. Said
6,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock represents the shares offered
in the Units issued by the Partnership. The Partnership was formed for
the purpose of developing certain available natural resources on
properties under the management of the Company.
On June 30, 1993, the Company sold Six Million (6,000,000) shares of
its $0.0001 par value Series Common Stock for the issuance to the
purchasers of the Limited Partnership interests in the Yaak River
Resources, Timber Division L.P., for $150,000.
Note 4 - Income Taxes:
The Company has made no provision for income taxes because there have
been no operations to date causing income for financial statement or
tax purposes.
Note 5 - Net (Loss) Per Common Share
The net (loss) per common share of the Series A Common Stock is
computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Note 6 - Going Concern
The Company incurred a net loss of $78,712 for 1998 and incurred
substantial net losses in the prior years. At December 31, 1998,
current liabilities exceed current assets by $155,963. These factors
indicate that the Company has substantial doubt about its ability to
continue in existence. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that
might be necessary in the event the company cannot continue in
existence.
