                                 March 31, 1998



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 March 31, 1998,  and the  consolidated  results of operations
    for the three (3) months  ended  March 1998 and 1997,  and the  consolidated
    cash flows for the three (3) months ended March 31, 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.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

     Effective  May  10,  1996,   Starlight   Acquisitions,   Inc.,  a  Colorado
corporation  ("Starlight")  acquired  all of the  outstanding  capital  stock of
Toucan Mining Limited, an exploration stage company  incorporated under the laws
of the Isle of Man (British Isles)  ("Toucan  Mining") in exchange for shares of
Starlight  Common  Stock  (the  "Share  Exchange").  As a  result  of the  Share
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  Mining 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,
subsistence expenses 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
fifteen  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 Prozterzoic 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.

     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.  The Company has
commissioned  4,300 kilometer aerial  geophysical survey of part of its priority
claims and is currently  awaiting  appropriate  governmental  licenses  prior to
proceeding with this aspect of the exploration program.

     However,  the program to fully  explore  and develop its entire  claim area
will  take  several  years,  and  it  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 prove
unproductive.

     The Company will incur major  expenses to establish  the  existence of gold
reserves.  Accordingly,  to fund the Company's  exploration program through May,
1999 and to pay for normal  expenses  during that period,  the Company  believes
that it will  need to raise  approximately  $1.6  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 plan will be subject to review depending upon the
results  obtained.  Costs could rise if, among other things,  the weather proves
untypically  harsh,  unforeseen  ground  conditions are  encountered,  equipment
becomes  difficult to source,  the availability of drilling  operators  becoming
increasingly scarce and their rates increasing 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.
See Part II,  Item 2, (c) (i) of this Form  10-QSB.  Under this  agreement,  the
Company is committed to acquire 10 additional  priority claims upon clearance of


                                        4

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  exploring  several  financing   alternatives  to  obtain  such
additional capital.  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 May 12,
1998, the principal amount of the loan was $101,429 and shall be repaid with the
proceeds of any  additional  financing.  Zalcany has indicated to the Company an
intent  to  provide  additional  short-term  financing  on  the  same  basis  in
anticipation  of the Company  obtaining  longer-term  additional  financing in a
short period of time;  however,  Zalcany is not obligated to advance  additional
funds to the Company.

     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.

         (c) (i) On November 1, 1996,  the  Company,  pursuant to the  exemption
from  registration  provided by Regulation S of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"),  completed the offering (the "Yorkton Offering")
of 1,600,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $4 million.

         Certain of the net proceeds of the Yorkton  Offering were to be used by
MBL or another  Brazilian  mining  subsidiary  of the Company to acquire  mining
claims in the Cuiaba Basin.  These claims,  which number twenty-five (25) in the
aggregate,  are in the  process  of being  acquired  pursuant  to the  following
agreement and understanding:

                           (A) The Company made an initial payment to the seller
                           in  the  amount  of  $500,000.  Upon  receiving  this
                           initial    payment,    the    seller    granted    to
                           representatives      of     the     Company      (the
                           "Representatives")  an irrevocable  power-of-attorney
                           over all twenty-five (25) claims.

                           (B) The Company paid to the seller cash in the amount
                           of  $36,000  for  each  claim  that  the  Departmento
                           Nacional De Produca  Mineral  ("DNPM")  certifies  is
                           held  with  priority,   having  good,   clean  and  a
                           transferable   title.   The  DNPM  is  the  Brazilian
                           governmental   agency   responsible   for  regulating
                           mineral rights.

                           (C) The Company issued to the seller 12,000 shares of
                           the Company Common Stock for each claim that the DNPM
                           certifies is held with priority,  having good,  clean
                           and transferable title.

                           (D) The Company  issued to the seller a bonus payment
                           of 50,000  shares of the Company  Common Stock if and
                           when the seller transfers good and clean title to all
                           twenty-five (25) claims to the Company.

         As noted  above,  the initial  payment of $500,000 has been made by the
Company to the seller.  Hence, the  Representatives on behalf of the Company now
hold an irrevocable  power-of-attorney  over all such claims, which entitles the
Company,  upon payment for such claims as hereinabove provided, to transfer such
claims to MBL or another subsidiary of Toucan Mining. In December 1996, fourteen
(14) of the  twenty-five  (25)  claims  were  certified  by the  DNPM as held in
priority,  with good,  clean and  transferable  title.  In April  1997,  two (2)
additional  claims were  certified by the DNPM as held in  priority,  with good,
clean and transferrable title. In March of 1998, the Company was informed by the
DNPM that the  seller did not hold  priority  title on one of the  sixteen  (16)
claims. As a result,  the Company currently holds priority claim on only fifteen
(15) claims.  Accordingly,  the Company is obligated to issue to seller  180,000
(15 x 12,000) shares of Company Common Stock. The shares of Company Common Stock
to be issued in connection with this transaction have been authorized, but as of
March 31, 1998, they have not been issued.

         (ii) On February 2, 1998, the Company granted  options to purchase,  in
the  aggregate,   250,000  shares  of  Company  Common  Stock  to  two  separate
individuals in their capacities as Directors of the Company. The options allowed
Robert P. Jeffcock and Robert A. Pearce to purchase 200,000 and 50,000 shares of
Company Common Stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Mr.
Jeffcock and Mr. Pearce received their options as part of their remuneration for
services rendered to the Company.  Each individual's  options vested on the date
of grant and are exercisable up until December 31, 1999.
