          Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Expenditures for
          renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing
          properties are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged
          against income.

          Depreciation of property and equipment is provided principally on the
          straight-line method.  For income tax purposes, the ACRS and MACRS
          methods of cost recovery are used.  The estimated useful lives for
          financial statement purposes are as follows:
                                                          Lives (years)
                 Transportation equipment                      5
                 Operating equipment                          4-7
                 Office equipment and furnishings             5-7
                 Leasehold improvements                        39

          Depreciation expense for the period ended July 31, 1999 was $82,616.


          Revenue and Cost Recognition

          Revenues from contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion
          method based on the proportion of costs incurred on the contract to
          total estimated contract costs.  Material estimated losses prior to
          completion are recognized in their entirety when apparent.

          Costs and estimated earnings in excess of amounts billed are
          classified as current assets.  Billings in excess of costs and
          estimated earnings are classified as current liabilities.

          The Company placed six (6) of its bank guarantees issued by BNI Bank
          with Striker Gold Mines, Ltd. in a joint venture that will produce 9%
          per day to the Company.  For 3,000,000 shares of common stock
          (restricted) the Company assigned to Las Vegas Entertainment Network,
          Inc., a public company trading on the small caps of the NASDAQ Stock
          Exchange.  At the time of the transaction these shares of common stock
          had a value of $4,750,000.  The Company has another transaction with
          U.S. Guarantee Corporation, a Nevada corporation where USGC has
          committed to the Company a loan of $400,000,000 by using the four (4)
          bank guarantees from Bank BNI, Indonesia however the Company has
          not received any funds from USGC.

          In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and
          assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
          and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
          the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

          Tax Method and Distributions

          The Company's stockholders have elected Subchapter S Corporation
          status.  Under these provisions, the Company pays no Federal income
          tax.  The Company's income is taxed to the stockholders in their
          individual tax returns.

          Cash and Cash Equivalents

          For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
          highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
          months or less to be cash equivalents.

          missing. The loss to the Company is $27,317,000 which the Company has
          no insurance to cover.  The matter is currently under investigation.


NOTE 10:  PROVEN GOLD AND SILVER RESERVE ON MINING PROPERTIES

         The process of estimating mineral reserves is very complex, requiring
         significant subjective decision in the evaluation of available
         geological, engineering, and economic data for each reserve. The data
         for a given reserve may change substantially over time as a result of
         additional development activity, production under varying economic
         conditions, etc.

         Consequently, material revision to the existing reserve estimates may
         occur in the future.  Although, every reasonable effort was made to
         ensure that the reserve estimates reported represent the most
         accurate assessment possible, the significance of the subjective
         decision required, the variances in the available data for various
         reserves, make these estimates generally less precise than other
         estimates in connection with financial disclosure. Proven reserves
         are estimated quantities of gold and silver which geological and
         engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be
         recoverable in future years from known reserves under existing
         economic and operating conditions.


         Stickel and Associates, independent consultants in applied geology,
         geophysics and engineering, has estimated 7,000,000 troy ounces of
         gold and 19,000,000 troy ounces of silver. The values of these
         reserves based on average market prices as of September 30, 1999 and
         September 30, 1998 are as follows:

                                               9/30/99            9/30/98
                                                 (Dollars in Thousands)

        Gold         7,000,000 troy ounces
                     @$297.90/troy ounce     $2,085,300,000
                     @$296.40/troy ounce                       $2,074,800,000

Results of Operations

Summary of significant Accounting Policies

Nature of the Business: Countryland Wellness Internet Network Trust, a Nevada
trust was originally incorporated in Colorado on October 29, 1974, as
Minerals Mining Corporation. The name was first changed to Grand American
International Corporation, then Continental Wellness Casinos Corp., and then,
on December 22, 1997, to Continental Wellness Casinos Trust, a real estate
investment trust. On December 16, 1998 the Company merged with China Internat-
ional Packaging and Leasing Co., Ltd., and the present name was adopted. The
Company had been engaged in the discovery and development of precious metals
with mining properties located at Quincy, Plumas County, California. The
Company has 750 acres of land where 39 unpatented mineing claims are located.
All assessment work has been done at the mines and all reports have been filed
with the Bureau of Land Management, Sacramento, California and the County of
Plumas in accordance with the mining rules and regulations. The Company has
permits to operate the mines from the United States Forestry Department, Quincy,
California. The Company presently does not intend to re-open mining operations
to recover the gold and silver in the proven reserves, and will not do so until
the price of gold increases significantly.


The Company is in the process of getting its live longer center, a longevity
members association, with the purpose of making people live longer by using
preventive medicine with genes testing for discovery of predominant illness
in the different subjects and repair defective genes by genetic engineering
followed with a program of exercise and nutrition. The hotel's guests sign a
long term rental agreement for a room or suite at the Company's resort hotel
and casino for a week or two per year for a period of ten years, payable in
advance, and also receive one week of care at the center. The rental cost is
$ 1,000.00 per week per year per guest.


The transaction with China International Packaging and Leasing Co., Ltd. was
cancelled.  The Company acquired Network Electric Company for a Pay Out Order
to be paid from funds due to the Company.

The Company entered into a Loan Agreement with U.S. Guarantee Corporation and
received a Loan Committment from them in the amount of $400,000,000 and the
Company placed as collateral for this loan four bank guarantees from Bank BNI
Indonesia, loan still pending funding.

The Company entered on a Joint Venture Agreement with Striker Gold Mines, Ltd.
to invest six bank guarantees from Bank BNI Indonesia to be used on an
Investment Program that will regenerate 9% per day and the Company will receive
50% of the profit.  The program is ready to start in about 30 days.

The Company entered into an agreement with Las Vegas Entertainment Network,
Inc., a public traded Company listed on the small caps of the NASDAQ Stock
Exchange were the Company given the right to LVEN to use one of the guarantee
issued by Bank BNI Indonesia and loan a Gold Certificate (Restricted) for 10,600
troy ounces of gold and the Company received 3,000,000 (Restricted) shares of
Common Stock from LVEN.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The expansion and diversification of the Registrant's business has occurred
selectively for the past two years through the development of the Registrant's
mines for the production of gold and silver and other precious metals. The
Registrant is organizing its longevity center, a wellness resort for life
extension. The strategic and aggressive growth program enables the Registrant
to provide future earnings for the Company. The Registrant is confident that
the program of long term room rentals in a resort hotel and casino in
conjunction with a longevity center, will increase sales and produce a
positive cash flow.

These claims lie along the southwest and northwest borders of a northwest
trending zone or band of highly fractured peridotite altered to serpentine.
Broad fault zones bound the peridotite bodies or bands and there are no
indications of heat alteration. There has been no production from hard rock
mining, however, significant placer hydraulicking and sluicing has occurred.
The placer deposits occur in two periods of erosion, the Present and the
Tertiary. Although, concentrations of gold have only been found in the
Blackhawk and Dean claims, it does occur scattered throughout the peridotite.

PRESENCE OF GOLD AND SILVER

Reference 2 indicates that there is a conservative 10,000,000 tons of hard
rock ore reserves. Rock Chip and channel samples were obtained from 10 to 50
foot sections of road cuts and outcrops on these claims and it is reported -
assayed high in gold (Au). The highest gold value was 2.80 oz /ton, however, the
overall average was .7 oz/ton. Silver(Ag) ranged from a trace to 2.62 oz/ton.
These values varied greatly, depending upon the freshness of the outcrop.
Assays also indicated the presence of platinoid metals.

Total amount of gold and silver in these claims is 7,000,000 oz. of gold and
19,000,000 oz. of silver.  These figures were compiled from data presented
in Reference 2.

It is reported that during the summer of 1983, approximately $30,000 worth of
placer gold was dredged from one of the creeks flowing through the Blackhawk
claims.  This gold was dredged from an area of the creek about 100 yards long.
