NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Organization
    ------------

    The consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared by
    the Company  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
    Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
    for a  fair  presentation  of  the  consolidated  financial  position  as of
    September 30, 1998, and the consolidated results of operations for the three
    (3)  months  and nine (9)  months  ended  September  1998 and 1997,  and the
    consolidated  cash flows for the nine (9) months  ended  September  30, 1998
    have been made. In addition,  all such  adjustments  made, in the opinion of
    management,  are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for
    the periods  presented are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be
    expected for the full fiscal year.

    Certain information and footnote  disclosures normally included in financial
    statements   prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim  reporting
    rules of the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The interim  consolidated
    financial  statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  audited
    consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  notes for the year  ended
    December  31, 1997,  included in the  Company's  1997 Annual  Report on Form
    10-KSB.

NOTE B - COMMITMENT

    Under an agreement with a Brazilian individual,  the Company is committed to
    acquire 10 additional  priority  claims upon clearance of title by the DNPM.
    The  consideration  for each claim will be $36,000 in cash and 12,000 shares
    of common stock. In addition, a bonus payment of 50,000 shares is due to the
    seller if all 10 claims are delivered to the Company.

NOTE C - COMMITMENT TO ISSUE COMMON STOCK

    In connection with the acquisition of certain claims,  the Company  incurred
    obligations to issue a total of 325,333 shares of common stock. At September
    30, 1998, these shares have not been issued.  However,  the shares have been
    reflected  as  outstanding  in the  accompanying  balance  sheets and in the
    calculation of weighted  average shares  outstanding  for the three and nine
    month periods ended September 30, 1998.

Exchange,  a change in control of Starlight  occurred,  whereby Toucan Mining is
deemed to have  acquired  Starlight.  See "Notes to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements."

         Toucan  Mining  is  a  development  stage  company  that  conducts  its
operations primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Mineradora de Bauxita
Ltda. ("MBL"), which is an authorized mining company organized under the laws of
Brazil.  MBL has been financed  entirely by Toucan (as hereinafter  defined) for
the purpose of conducting mineral exploration, specifically gold exploration.

         During July 1996, Starlight formed Toucan Gold Corporation,  a Delaware
corporation ("Toucan" or the "Company"),  as a wholly-owned subsidiary.  On July
29, 1996,  Starlight  merged into the Company,  and pursuant to the terms of the
merger,  the  outstanding  shares of  Starlight  Common  Stock were  canceled in
exchange for shares of the Company's Common Stock.

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  fiscal  year  ended
December 31, 1997, reflect the results of Toucan's  operations,  which consisted
of opening and operating a Brazilian  exploration office,  completion of a 5,000
meter reverse  circulation  drilling  program,  maintenance of Toucan Mining and
MBL's various  claims and purchase of new claims which were  capitalized  in the
financial statements. Legal, accounting, investor relations, consulting, travel,
and other general administrative costs were expensed.

         The  Company has begun a program of mineral  exploration  to target and
explore  selected  areas of its mining claims to determine  which areas are most
likely to contain  economic gold  mineralization  or to effectuate  this program
through joint ventures. In order to facilitate these activities, the Company, in
March 1997,  opened an office in Brazil.  The Brazilian office is staffed by six
employees and consultants, consisting of geologists, land acquisition personnel,
mapping specialists and various support personnel.

         The Company has  completed a 5,000 meter reverse  circulation  drilling
program  involving  six  separate  locations  in the  Cuiaba  District  on which
artisanal mine works ("nugget  patches") have taken place.  The Company believes
that these nugget  patches are de facto  geochemical  anomalies  reflecting  the
possible presence of disseminated gold mineralization in the subsurface. A total
of 73 holes  were  drilled to an average  depth of 69 and  sampled at  one-meter
intervals.  In addition to intersecting variable quantities of "visible gold" at
all  six of the  localities  tested,  drilling  has  revealed  the  presence  of
metasediments which imbedded with metavolcanic rocks of Proterozoic age. Samples
weighing  approximately  25 kg. were split,  and  approximately  3 kg. from each
sample were sent for assay testing at two well-known Canadian laboratories.

         The  Company's  drilling  program was designed to  penetrate  the upper
saprolite  and  geochemically  sample  lower  saprolitic  material.   Management
expected any gold  mineralization  in the lower  saprolite to be finer  grained,
more homogeneous and reliably sampled by reverse circulation drilling.  However,
the assay reports  reflected a wide  variation of results.  Because such results
can occur when  sampling  "coarse  gold"  mineralization,  management  conducted
additional  testing  of  the  samples  utilizing  a  commonly  practiced  manual
inspection  technique,  which revealed the presence of "visible gold" in some of
the samples,  many of which had  appeared,  on the basis of the prior assay,  to
have negligible gold content.  Based on such testing,  management  believes that
the  weathering  of the  saprolite  extends  deeper  into the  surface  than was
originally  estimated and that its drilling did not sample the lower  saprolite.
Because of the indication of coarse gold  mineralization,  management  concluded
that it could not rely  upon the  individual  values  obtained  in the  original
assay.  Accordingly,   management  resubmitted  132  larger  samples  containing
"visible gold" for re-assaying to one of the Canadian  laboratories  that tested
the original samples in order to use such laboratory's  special method of sample
preparation   suited  for  the   detection  and   measurement   of  coarse  gold
mineralization.  Most  of the  later  assayed  samples  were  found  to  contain
consistently higher gold content than the previously assayed samples. Management
believes  that almost all of the  drilling to date has  intersected  fringe-type
mineralization  of  the  type  often  found  near  stronger  potential  economic
mineralization.


                                        3

         Management  is  encouraged  by the results of the  overall  geochemical
testing  program and  believes  that the new sample  collection  and  processing
method will more accurately  reflect the level and grade of gold  mineralization
present in the upper  saprolite.  Accordingly,  subject  to  raising  additional
capital,  the  Company  has  planned a detailed  program  on the six  previously
mentioned  locations  and  their  adjacent  areas of  advanced  technology  soil
geochemistry  testing and detailed ground geophysics using electric and magnetic
methods. The program will also cover further geological mapping of the remaining
nugget patches. More reverse circulation drilling on all of these areas (testing
appropriately larger samples) is expected to follow. This program is expected to
take  fourteen  (14)  months and is  designed  to  establish  whether  there are
potential  orebodies in the upper  saprolite in these areas.  This program could
involve joint ventures and other  arrangements  that may result in a dilution of
the Company's interest in its mining claims.

         Subject  to  the  Company's   ability  to  raise  additional   capital,
additional  regional  exploration,  to be  carried  out  concurrently  with  the
detailed "nugget patch" exploration, is planned and will be aimed at identifying
the mineralization potential of all MBL claims in order to discard those without
any potential. This is to be carried out by revision of all geologic information
and supported by Landsat Thematic  Mapper,  extensive field work, and a regional
airborne geophysical survey over the area of highest potential.

         However, the program to fully explore and develop its entire claim area
will take several  years and require the raising of  additional  capital,  which
could involve joint ventures or other arrangements that may result in a dilution
of the Company's interest in its claims. In the event of encouraging  results in
a particular area, a more  concentrated  study will be undertaken to provide the
basis of a feasibility study for mineral  development.  MBL will also be working
to acquire additional claims in the Cuiaba Basin and will cease to explore those
claims that appear to have  little or no scope for gold  mineralization  or will
not be useful for operational infrastructure.

          As part of the process described above,  during the three month period
ended  September  30, 1998,  the  Company's  activities  in Brazil  consisted of
continuing its review of its extensive claim area to determine which claims that
management  believes  should be  abandoned.  To date,  the Company has abandoned
eight-five  (85) claims,  which leaves the Company  with  approximately  600,000
hectares  of  claims.  Currently,  the  Company  is  not  contemplating  further
abandonment  of claims  in the near  future;  however,  it may do so in light of
further exploration activities. No significant exploration has been performed on
any of the abandoned  claims.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company has incurred an expense of $312,875  related to such  abandoned  claims.
See  "Financial  Statements--Consolidated Statements of Operations  for the nine
months ended September 30 (unaudited)."

         The Company  will incur major  expenses to establish  the  existence of
gold reserves.  Accordingly,  to fund the Company's  exploration program through
the next calendar year and to pay for normal  expenses  during that period,  the
Company  believes that it will need to raise  approximately  $2 million or enter
into joint ventures with industry  partners who agree to provide such funds. The
amount does not include any expenditures for lease acquisitions. There can be no
assurance  that the Company  will be able to raise such  capital if needed or on
terms that are favorable to the Company or to enter into such joint  ventures on
terms  favorable  to the Company.  The Company is  currently  involved in active
negotiations in these matters. The plan will be subject to review depending upon
the results  obtained.  Costs could rise if,  among  other  things,  the weather
proves atypically harsh, unforeseen ground conditions are encountered, equipment
becomes  difficult to source,  the availability  of drilling  operators  becomes
increasingly scarce and their rates increase  accordingly,  or negotiations with
surface  owners  become  prolonged.   MBL  may  spend  more  or  less  on  claim
acquisitions  than  currently  estimated.  There  can be no  assurance  that the
exploration   program   will  result  in  the   discovery   of   economic   gold
mineralization.  The Company's financial  statements have been prepared assuming
that  the  Company  will  continue  as  a  going   concern.   Furthermore,   the
recoverability  of the cost of  mineral  rights is  dependent  on the  Company's
ability  to  continue  exploration,  establish  the  existence  of  economically
recoverable reserves,  develop these reserves, and achieve profitable production
or obtain sufficient  proceeds from the disposition of the rights. The Company's
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome  of  these   uncertainties.   The  matters   discussed   herein  contain
forward-looking   statements  that  involve  certain  risks,  uncertainties  and
additional  costs  detailed  herein.  The actual  results  that are achieved may
differ  materially  from any  forward-looking  projections,  due to such  risks,
uncertainties and additional costs.

         The  Company  has raised  approximately  $3.6  million in net  proceeds
through the issuance of 1,600,000  Units at $2.50 per Unit, each Unit consisting
of one  share of  Company  Common  Stock and a warrant  to  purchase  a share of
Company Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50,  in an offering  exempt from
registration  under the  Securities  Act pursuant to Regulation S. This offering
was completed on November 1, 1996. The expiration date for such warrants was set
at the  close of  business  on  October  31,  1997,  subject  to  adjustment  in
connection  with certain  anti-dilution  provisions.  On October 31,  1997,  the
expiration  date for the  warrants  was extended by the Company from October 31,
1997 to January 31, 1998. The warrants have expired by their terms.

         The Company has used certain of the proceeds from the sale of the Units
to finance the purchase of  additional  mining  claims in the Cuiaba  Basin,  to
begin its exploration  program,  and for general working capital  purposes.  The
Company has entered  into an  agreement to acquire up to 25 claims in the Cuiaba
Basin.  Under this agreement,  the Company is committed to acquire 10 additional
priority claims upon clearance of title by the DNPM. The  consideration for each
claim will be $36,000 in cash and 12,000 shares of common stock. In addition,  a
bonus  payment  of  50,000  shares is due to the  seller  if all 10  claims  are
delivered to the Company.  The Company's  obligations  thereunder are subject to
its review of documentation  relating to such claims.  There can be no assurance
that the acquisition of the remaining claims will be consummated.

         In order to finance the Company's  exploration  activities  and general
working capital needs, including maintaining its Brazilian office and paying the
personnel of the Brazilian office, the Company will require additional  capital.
The Company is  addressing  the  additional  capital  requirement  by  exploring
several  strategic  alternatives  that may involve any one or a combination of a
joint venture or sale of part of all of its exploration assets,  further capital
raising,  merger,  restructuring or other business  arrangement.  The Company is
currently in active negotiations  related to these strategic  alternatives,  but
has  reached  no   definitive   agreements   with  respect  to  such   strategic
alternatives.  The Company is currently funding its day-to-day operations with a
demand loan from Zalcany Limited  ("Zalcany"),  a company affiliated with Roy G.
Williams, while it continues to seek additional financing. The loan from Zalcany
bears  interest at the annual rate of 10% and is  unsecured.  As of November 11,
1998, the principal amount of the loan was $350,796 and is to be repaid from the
proceeds of any  additional  financing.  Although  Zalcany  continues to provide
additional short term financing on the same basis, it is not obligated to do so.

         As of November 11, 1998, Robert Jeffcock,  Igor  Mousasticoshvily,  Sr.
and Robert  Pearce had  advanced  the Company  $117,373,  $112,000  and $39,450,
respectively,   by  providing   cash  advances  to  the  Company  and  foregoing
compensation and/or  fees owed to  them by the  Company.  Of the amount owing to
Igor Mousasticoshvily, Sr., the equivalent in  Brazilian Reals of  $48,000 bears
interest at the annual rate of 24%.

         Certain of the  information  contained  in this  Annual  Report on Form
10-QSB constitutes  forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended,  that  involves  certain  risks,  uncertainties  and  additional  costs
described  herein.  The actual  results that are achieved may differ  materially
from any  forward  looking  projections,  due to such risks,  uncertainties  and
additional costs. Although the Company believes that the expectations  reflected
in such forward looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can
give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Subsequent written and
oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on
its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to such risks,
uncertainties and additional costs.

         During the three month period ended  September 30, 1998,  the Company's
activities in Brazil  consisted of continuing its review of its extensive  claim
area to determine which claims that  management  believes should be abandoned on
the  basis  that  as such  claims  either  have  little  or no  scope  for  gold
mineralization  or will not be useful for operational  infrastructure.  To date,
the Company has abandoned eighty-five (85) claims, which leaves the Company with
approximately  600,000  hectares  of  claims.  Currently,  the  Company  is  not
contemplating further abandonment of claims in the near future;  however, it may
do so in light of further exploration activities. No significant exploration has
been  performed  on any of the  abandoned  claims.  For the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998,  the Company has incurred an expense of $312,875  related to
the  abandoned  claims. See  "Financial  Statements-Consolidated  Statements  of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30 (unaudited)."
