PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Magnum Resources, Inc. ("Magnum") and its subsidiaries Hydra-Mac International,
Inc. ("Hydra-Mac") and D&E Machining, Inc. ("D&E") (collectively
referred to as the "Company") design, manufacture, distribute and sell skid
steer loaders and associated products. The Company acquired Power Equipment
Corporation ("Power Equipment") in 1992 for the purposes of designing,
manufacturing and selling rubber track crawlers. The Company ceased
manufacturing the rubber track crawler in 1995 but may reintroduce it at a later
date.
Magnum was incorporated in Delaware in 1981 to pursue the possible Development
of natural resources in the state of Nevada. In 1991, Magnum acquired Hydra-Mac
and D&E by means of a statutory merger. Since its inception in 1970,
Hydra-Mac has been engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and
selling skid steer loaders. D&E, since its inception, has been engaged in
the business of manufacturing gear and machine parts, principally for Hydra-Mac.
PRODUCTS
The following descriptions outline the products of the Company.
SKID STEER LOADERS - HYDRA-MAC
Skid-steer loaders are small four-wheeled vehicles that were originally Designed
and used as loaders, but in the last decade have become increasingly Popular
equipment with the availability of attachments such as backhoes, forklifts,
breakers, planers, rakes and augers. Today, skid steer loaders provide users
with a versatile, heavy duty, and durable vehicle to perform a multitude of
agricultural, construction and industrial work tasks. In addition, most
skid-steer attachments are designed to be used with an industry standard
quick-attach mechanism which allows attachments built by one manufacturer to be
used on vehicles manufactured by another.
Skid steer loaders are labor-saving machines that perform a variety of jobs That
are difficult to accomplish manually, and that larger machines, such as
tractors, bulldozers, and other construction equipment, cannot complete because
of their size. Characteristically, skid steer loaders have an independent drive
system for the left and right side of the unit, thereby allowing the machine to
skid and thus turn 360 degrees within their own tracks. This compact wheel
turning ratio allows the skid steer loader to operate effectively in confined
spaces with limited available maneuverability. Models vary in their length,
width, height and operating efficiency, which allow them to lift a maximum
amount of material within specific work requirements and safety standards.
The Company's product line includes four models of the Hydra-Mac hydrostatic,
all-gear drive skid steer loaders. The machines range in size and capacity from
37 horsepower and 1,300 pounds of operating capacity to an 80 horsepower diesel
engine with 2,650 pounds operating capacity. Diesel engines made by Kubota,
Isuzu, and John Deere are found in the various models of the skid steer loaders
produced by the Company. The Company believes that their 2650D model has the
largest SAE rated operating capacity of any skid steer loader in the
marketplace. In 1997, the Company introduced a new model to the marketplace to
provide a heavy-duty skid steer loader with a mid-ranged price that will meet
specific needs of the customer. This new model (2250) utilizes an Isuzu 70
horsepower diesel engine.

RUBBER TRACK CRAWLERS
In 1991, the Company offered its rubber tracked crawler loader to the market.
The Commander rubber track crawler offered many of the characteristics of the
skid steer loader, but included the traction advantages of a rubber track system
generally associated with conventional steel track machines. The rubber track
enabled the loader to maneuver on soft surfaces more quickly and easily. At the
same time, the rubber track crawler did not leave the heavy wheel track "foot
print" commonly associated with front-end loaders. These features, along with
the all gear drive technology, enabled the Commander to fill a market niche
between the skid steer loader and other heavy-duty front-end loading equipment.
In 1995, the Company decided to cease manufacturing the rubber track crawler
loader in order to concentrate efforts on the Company's historical base of
traditional skid steer loaders. The Company is currently evaluating the market
potential of the rubber track crawler. Regardless of whether or not the Crawler
is reintroduced, the Company plans on continuing to service and furnish repair
parts to existing Crawler owners. See "Risk Factors".
REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS
The Company offers a variety of loader replacement parts and attachments for All
current and previously produced skid steer and rubber track loaders. It
currently markets a wide range of buckets, pallet forks, augers, scarifiers,
outriggers, backhoes, hammers, shears, trenchers, dozer blades, sweepers, as
well as a number of manufactured replacement and service parts. Prices of parts
and attachments are based on the normal market competition since the end user
can purchase attachments directly from other manufacturers. The Company also
stocks certain replacement parts for older loaders to maintain the policy of
lifetime serviceability. Prices for these parts are based upon customer need and
the availability of alternative parts sources. For 1998, the Company plans to
increase attachment sales by promoting these items heavily through its existing
dealers.
BUSINESS AUTOMATION EQUIPMENT - MAGNUM BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC. (MBS)
In 1997, the Company formed a subsidiary called Magnum Business Systems, Inc.
("MBS").
MBS distributes a complete line of laser and CCD scanners, check readers and
portable data terminals (batch, radio frequency, and wireless networks). These
items are typically sold to businesses operating in an environment Dependent
upon point of sale (POS) transactions. Most purchasers of this equipment are
retailers such as department stores and sporting goods dealers. The subsidiary
has three employees engaged in the sale of these products.
The results of operations for MBS through July 31, 1998 were not material to the
Company's consolidated financial results. In July 1998, the Company accepted an
offer to sell Magnum Business Systems,Inc., its business automation products
segment to the current managers of the business for $252,000 cash. The Company's
gain on the sale was $93,000. The segment income from operations of $98,000 for
the year ending July 31, 1998 is recorded as discontinued operations and
includes sales of $2,782,000.

MARKETS - SKID STEER LOADERS
Approximately one-third of the Company's current skid steer loader sales are To
companies within the agriculture industry, primarily located in the upper
Midwest. The skid steer loaders are primarily for use in material handling and
facility cleaning. The units sold for agriculture uses are in the lower range of
size, horsepower, and operating capacity. The remainder of sales are to
companies within the construction, demolition, nursery, and waste management
industries. Less than six percent (6%) of total sales are to foreign markets.
The skid steer loader market is highly competitive and dominated by a number Of
large, multinational companies, including: (1) Case International, (2) Melroe
Ingersall Rand, (3) John Deere, (4) Gehl, and (5) Ford New Holland. The Company
believes that the primary competitive factors affecting the skid steer loader
markets include: price, performance, quality, reliability, technical innovation
and ease of use.
The Company believes that the list prices for its products, which range from
$20,000 to $40,000, are at the high end of the retail price range, but given the
Company's other features, are acceptable to customers. The Company believes:
(1)its products' all gear drive and technical design features outperform other
skid steer loaders, (2) its products' extra heavy steel framing provides
additional durability beyond many competitors, (3) constant design improvements
have enabled the Company to produce skid steer loaders which outlast others in
the field, (4) engineering design changes have updated the skid steer loaders to
meet customer recommendations, (5) its joystick control device makes the
Company's skid steer loaders easier to use than the competition, and, (6) for
users preferring control systems similar to those found on loaders made by other
companies, the Company's units can be ordered with those operating controls
factory installed. The Company also believes that its units fit the market
between the small skid steer loaders produced by Case, Melroe Ingersall Rand and
Ford New Holland, and the large size earth moving equipment manufactured By
Komatsu and Caterpillar.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company distributes its skid steer loaders under the Hydra-Mac name Through
independent dealers and through its own sales force. Historically, the Company
has obtained a majority of sales through an informal network of current owners
and word-of-mouth, relying on product quality, durability and performance to
sustain sales. During 1997, sales growth was created through: (1) the hiring of
additional sales staff and support personnel to increase their coverage and
presence in all sales regions throughout the United States, (2) increased
participation in industry trade shows, and (3) the development of Internet
marketing presentations. Currently, the Company sells its products throughout
the United States through 150 active dealers and 50 additional dealers. Dealers
not included within the Regional organizations are serviced by the Company as
"in house" accounts. The Company has dealerships in several foreign countries,
including Canada, Korea, Europe, and Central and South America and anticipates
that sales and marketing in Central and South America will increase
significantly during 1998.
Sales to companies within the agricultural and construction industries are
affected by the cyclical nature of those industries. Weather conditions,
interest rates, and farm production affect purchases by those companies. The
Company believes the versatility of its products and their suitability for
multiple purposes helps to minimize these factors.
The Company offers financing for its dealers through arrangements with two
finance companies. A majority of the fiscal 1997 skid steer loader dealer sales
were financed through these companies. One of these arrangements requires the
Company to repurchase goods and pay the finance company for the unpaid balance
due them from the dealer, along with repossession costs, in the event of default
by the dealer. The Company has not incurred any material costs associated with
this agreement. As of July 31, 1997, this finance company had balances due from
dealers totaling approximately $501,000.

<PAGE>
Sales of business automation equipment are handled primarily through three
direct sales employees. These employees are based in the Eagan facility and rely
heavily on telemarketing for prospective sales. MBS has agreements with a number
of manufacturers of automation equipment, which provide for distribution of
their products. The business is not capital intensive but requires the Company
to retain technically trained personnel to accurately determine which products
address the customer's needs. There is no assurance that MBS will be able to
retain or hire technical sales personnel.
COMPETITION - SKID STEER LOADERS
The Melroe Bobcat(R) unit is the standard of the industry and still leads in
market share under the current ownership of Ingersoll Rand. Additional
competitors include: (1) Case International, (2) John Deere, (3) Gehl, and (4)
Ford New Holland. All these companies have far greater experience than the
Company as well as greater financial resources and better development of
manufacturing, marketing and engineering capacities. In addition, the markets
for the Company's products are intensely competitive. The Company, however,
believes its skid steer loaders are highly competitive in the following key
operating areas:
Capacity: Within the industry, the weight which a particular model is
designed to lift within limits of safety is a relevant Competitive
factor. A corollary of weight capacity is the amount of cubic yard
capacity of material which a vehicle is capable of handling. The
Company believes that its vehicles are comparable to those of its
competition.
Dimensions: Customers consider the length, width and height of Units
important and place a premium on smaller size. The Company Believes
that its vehicles are comparable to its competition.
Operating Efficiency: Vehicles are also judged by the speed within
which they perform specific work. Of particular emphasis is traveling
speed and boom cycle rate. The Company believes that its vehicles are
comparable to its competition.
Operating Cost: All customers pay attention to costs associated with
operating vehicles. The Company believes its vehicles to be relatively
lower cost vehicles to operate than the Company's competition primarily
due to less down time, easier serviceability and product support.
Safety: Safety is always a concern. The Company believes that its
safety features provide for safe operation under all reasonable
conditions.
MANUFACTURING
The Company manufactures and assembles its skid steer products at its Facility
in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. (See "Item 2. Description of Property.")
Selected parts and assemblies are fabricated and machined at its facility in
Wahpeton, North Dakota. Additional parts and accessories are purchased from
outside vendors based upon engineering design requirements and cost and delivery
considerations. To further reduce production costs and increase production
capacity, the Company has begun to place an increased emphasis on purchasing
finished component products from original equipment manufacturers. As of July
31, 1997, the Company had a production backlog of approximately $500,000
consisting of firm orders from customers for skid steer loaders. Although there
can be no assurance, the Company expects the orders will increase and that a
backlog will be maintained.
5 of 28
<PAGE>
ENGINEERING
The Company designs many of its own skid steer products and accessories. The
Company's engineering staff includes three engineers and two assistants.
Engineering expenses for the past two years were $223,000 in 1997 and $140,000
in 1996. Prior to 1996, new product development was almost exclusively incurred
in developing the Company's rubber track crawler. The Company's primary
engineering efforts during 1997 were aimed at (1) improving the current product
line, (2) enhancing existing product quality, (3) lowering manufacturing costs,
and, (4) developing new products. Two new products were developed in 1997. Model
2250 was introduced to the marketplace in December 1996 and Model 2550 will be
introduced in October 1997.
EMPLOYEES
The Company currently has 109 employees including, 71 employees at the Hydra-
Mac manufacturing facility located in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, 30 employees
at the D & E machining facilities located in Wahpeton, North Dakota and 8
employees at the Corporate offices located in Eagan, Minnesota. The Company
attempts to maintain salary rates, which are competitive with the industry
within the respective locations and believes its relationships with employees is
good. No employee groups are members of a collective bargaining organization.
PATENTS, TRADE SECRETS AND TRADEMARKS
Utility patents related to the rubber track crawler were issued to Power
Equipment. These patents will expire on July 21, 2009. These patents are Pledged
as collateral securing payment of Hydramac International's revolving note with a
lender. (See below, "Risk Factors"). These patents will only be valuable in the
event the Company continues the development and reintroduction of the rubber
track crawler, of which there can be no assurance.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company believes that compliance with all federal, state and local
provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment which have
been enacted or adopted will not have a material effect upon the capital
expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company. However, no
assurance can be given that there is no residual contingent risk associated with
the natural resource development work that may have been done before anyone
currently associated with the Company joined the Company in 1991.
RISK FACTORS
As provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, set
forth below are important factors that could cause actual results to differ from
those expected by the Company and identified by the Company as forward- looking
statements and projections elsewhere in this report.
6 of 28
<PAGE>
1. Working Capital. The Company may need additional working capital. The
Company has a revolving line-of-credit facility with Norwest Business
Credit, Inc. ("Bank"). However, the Company has on occasion been in Default
with respect to certain covenants and conditions contained in the credit
facility. The Bank has waived compliance with these covenants and
reestablished the covenants such that the Company is in compliance with all
covenants. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to
obtain waivers for any future instances of default, should they occur. In
addition, the Bank may cease to make advances and demand payment of the
line of credit under circumstances where no default exists. Management
believes that the Company will be able to maintain the current credit
facility or one with substantially similar terms; however, no assurance can
be given that this will be accomplished.
2. Order Fulfillment. The Company has recently experienced a backlog of
orders. The Company expects this backlog will continue during 1999. If the
Company is unable to meet demand increases and customer order schedules are
not met, orders may be canceled and the Company's reputation for timely
delivery may be adversely affected. Factors which may affect such backlog
and demand are: the economy in general, interest rates, supply
availability, price changes, financing, dealer demand and customer
confidence.
3. Product Liability. The Company is subject to product liability suits during
the normal course of business. The Company maintains product liability
insurance to help mitigate its risk against product liability cases.
Management believes that the ultimate outcome of all outstanding matters
will not be material to the consolidated financial statements.
4. Rubber Track Crawler. The Company did not reintroduce its rubber track
crawler in fiscal year 1997 as planned. The Company is still evaluating
current market conditions to determine if reintroducing the crawler would
be prudent.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company owns substantially all its office and manufacturing facilities.
Hydra-Mac's principal offices and manufacturing facilities are located in an
80,000 square foot facility in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. D&E's corporate
offices and manufacturing facilities are located in a 22,000 square foot
facility located in Wahpeton, North Dakota. The Company also leases
approximately 4,000 square feet of office space located in Eagan, Minnesota
under a three year lease. Annual lease payments are approximately $34,000 and
terminate in 2000. The Company believes its current facilities will be adequate
for its anticipated needs.
Substantially all of the assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, Fixed
assets, and patents, are pledged as collateral to secure payment of its notes
with its lender and finance institution. In the event of default on these
obligations, the lenders may take possession of each premises where Hydra-mac
conducts business. (See "Risk Factors")

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Magnum Resources, Inc. ("MRI"), through its subsidiaries in Thief River
Falls, Minnesota, and Wahpeton, North Dakota (collectively, the "Company"),
Operates in a single industry segment related to the manufacture of
skid-steer loaders for comercial and agricultural use. The Company's
products are sold predominately throughout the United States utilizing an
independent dealer network and in-house sales people.
A summary pf the Company's significant accounting policies consistently
applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MRI and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course of business,
but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support
amounts due. Management performs on-going credit evaluations of customers.
The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses, which have
been sufficient for losses recognized due to uncollected accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation is provided in amounts that relate the cost of depreciable
assets to operations over their estimated service lives on a straight-line
basis. Estimated service lives are 30 years for buildings, 20 years for
building improvements and 3-7 years for machinery and equipment.
Straight-line and accelerated methods are used for income tax reporting
purposes.
23 of 28
<PAGE>
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Cash Overdraft
The Company, at times, issues checks prior to funding the bank account upon
which the checks are drawn. The Company funds the cash overdraft through
additional borrowings on the revolving note payable to bank (note D). Cash
overdrafts are classified with accounts payable on the balance sheet at
July 31, 1998 and 1997.
Product Warranties
The Company provides for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the time the goods are shipped to its
customers.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average common shares. Diluted net earnings per share is
computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and common share equivelants relating to stock
options when dilutive. Diluted net earnings per share for the years ended
July 31, 1998 and 1997 is the same as basic net earnings per share due to
the antidilutive effect of stock options outstanding. Options to purchase
63,000 and 8,333 share with weighted average exercise prices of $.32 and
$.25 were outstanding during the years ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, but
were excluded because they were antidilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company utilizes the intrinsic value method of accounting for its
employee stock-based compensation.
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
NOTE B - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 1998, the Company accepted an offer to sell Magnum Business
Systems,Inc., its business automation products segment to the current
managers of the business for $252,000 cash. The Company's gain on the sale
was $93,000. The segment income from operations of $98,000 for the year
ending July 31, 1998 is recorded as discontinued operations and includes
sales of $2,782,000.
NOTE C - INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following at July 31:

NOTE D - REVOLVING NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK
Revolving notes payable to bank consists of borrowings under two revolving
note Arrangements. The total funds available under the first note are the
lesser od $1,200,000 or a defined borrowing base of 80% of eligible
receivables and 60% of finished goods inventory. Interest is payable
monthly at 5.25% and 6.5% over the banks prime rate at July 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively (effective rates of 13.75% and 15.0% at July 31, 1998
and 1997), subject to a minimum interest charge of $37,500 per year.
Amounts due at July 31, 1998 and 1997 were $2,309,000 and $1,190,000,
respectively.
On June 17, 1998, the Company obtained an additional revolving note payable
with the total available funds of $500,000. Interest is payable monthly at
2.0% over prime rate (effective rate of 10.5% at July 31, 1998). The
revolving note is secured by specific inventory and expires on June 17,
2001. The balance outstanding at July 31, 1998 was $491,000.
In September 1998, the Company negotiated a line of credit with a new
lender. The total funds available under this note are the lessor of
$2,750,000 or the sum of 80% of qualified accounts receivable, 85% of
qualified finished goods inventory and 60% of qualified raw material and
work in process inventory. Interest is payable monthly at .75% over the
prime rate. The revolving note is collarteralized by substantially all of
the assets of the Company, contains certain restrictive covenants and is
due in September 2001. Funds available were used to repay the Company's
July 31, 1998 outstanding revolving note payable of $2,309,000.
The loan agreements contain certain restrictive covenants regarding minimum
levels of equity, limitations on dividends, and certain financial ratios.
At July 31, 1998, the Company was in violation of certain covenants for
which waivers have not been obtained. These violations allow the lender to
call the amounts due on demand.
Subsequent to negotiating the September 1998 line of credit, the Company
was in violation of the certain covenants under the agreement for which
waivers have not been obtained. These violations allow the lender to call
the amounts due on demand. Therefore, this debt has been classified as a
current liability.
