PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.
(Hereinafter referred to as Registrant or Company)
Condensed financial statements, and an accompanying independent
accountants' report, are filed as part of this Quarterly Report. In
management's opinion, these financial statements present fairly in all
material respects Registrant's financial condition and changes in
condition as of June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, and the results
of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months
and three months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, and from inception on
February 17, 1994 through June 30,1999, in conformance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements consolidate the financial
statements of Celebration Mining Company and Royal Silver Mines, Inc.
due to the Reorganization discussed in Note 1 of the financial
statements following this Report. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Also, the
consolidation required a change in fiscal year-end, from November 30
(Celebration) to September 30 (Royal). The financial statements
account for the Reorganization using the purchase method of accounting
(see Note 1 to the financial statements). Celebration is treated as
the acquiring company for financial reporting purposes because its
shareholders constitute greater than 50 percent of the combined
shareholder group. In conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and the Company's accounting policy, Celebration is
recognized as the predecessor entity. Consequently, Celebration's
assets and liabilities were not adjusted in the accompanying financial
statements. The financial statements for the period from the inception
of Celebration on February 17, 1994 to November 30, 1994 ("Fiscal
1994") do not include the balance sheet data or results of operations
of Consolidated Royal Mines, Inc. The accompanying financial
statements represent the activities of Royal Silver Mines and
Celebration, but are not considered consolidated financial statements
since Royal Silver is the successor to Celebration.
As discussed in greater detail under Item 2 below, a substantial
portion of Registrant's assets consist of investments in mineral
properties for which additional exploration is required to determine if
they contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The
realization of these investments is contingent to large extent upon the
success of Registrant's property transactions as a whole, the existence
of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to
obtain financing or make other arrangements for development, and upon
future profitable production. Accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements make no provision for any asset impairment or other
adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Royal Silver Mines,
Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 1999, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
nine months ended June 30, 1999, and for the period from February 17,
1994 (inception) through June 30, 1999. The review was conducted in
accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is
the representation of the management of Royal Silver Mines, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The balance sheet for the year ended September 30, 1998 was audited by
us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated
December 20, 1998. We have not performed any auditing procedures since
that date.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 20
to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Royal Silver Mines, Inc. (Royal) was incorporated in April of 1969
under the laws of the state of Utah primarily for the purpose of
acquiring and developing mineral properties. Royal conducts its
business as a "junior" natural resource company, meaning that it
intends to receive income from property sales or joint ventures with
larger companies.
Celebration Mining Company (Celebration), currently a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Royal, was incorporated for the purpose of identifying,
acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. Celebration was
organized on February 17, 1994 as a Washington corporation.
Celebration has not yet realized any revenues from its planned
operations.
On August 8, 1995, Royal and Celebration completed an Agreement and
plan of reorganization whereby the Company issued 4,143,750 shares of
its common stock and 1,455,000 warrants in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of Celebration. Pursuant to the
reorganization, the name of the Company was changed to Royal Silver
Mines, Inc. Immediately prior to the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, the Company had 2,375,463 common shares issued and
outstanding.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase by Celebration of
Royal, because the shareholders of Celebration controlled the Company
after the acquisition. Therefore, Celebration is treated as the
acquiring entity. There was no adjustment to the carrying value of the
assets or liabilities of Royal in the exchange as the market value
approximated the net carrying value. Royal is the acquiring entity for
legal purposes and Celebration is the surviving entity for accounting
purposes.
The $2,274,411 cost of mineral properties included in the accompanying
balance sheet as of June 30, 1999 is related to exploration properties.
The Company has not determined whether the exploration properties
contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ultimate
realization of the Company's investment in exploration properties is
dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of
economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the company to obtain
financing or make other arrangements for development and upon future
profitable production. The ultimate realization of the Company's
investment in exploration properties cannot be determined at this time
and, accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may
result, in the event the Company is not successful in developing or
selling these properties, has been made in the accompanying financial
statements.

ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued)
The Company is seeking additional capital and management believes the
properties can ultimately be sold or developed to enable the Company to
continue its operations. However, there are inherent uncertainties in
mining operations and management cannot provide assurances that it will
be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore, the Company is in the
development stage, as it has not realized any significant revenues from
its planned operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method
of accounting.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year. The weighted
average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares
outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time they were
outstanding.
Outstanding warrants were not included in the computation of loss per
share because the exercise price of the outstanding warrants is higher
than the market price of the stock, thereby causing the warrants to be
antidilutive.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the 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.
Mineral Properties
Costs of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties are
capitalized by project area. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and
leases are expensed as incurred. When a property reaches the
production state, the related capitalized costs will be amortized,
using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates
of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for
impairment of value and any losses are charged to operations at the
time of impairment.

ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Mineral Properties (Continued)
Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to
operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of
capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs
are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold
to the claims remaining within the project area.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts in primarily one commercial
bank in Spokane, Washington. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000.
Provision for Taxes
At June 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $9,000,000 that may be offset against future taxable
income through 2012. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements as the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the
net operating loss carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the
potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards are
offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets."
This standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995.
In complying with this, the Company reviews its long-lived assets
quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have
transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not
be recoverable. Because of substantial write-downs and write-offs
taken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company does not
believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets
at June 30, 1999.
Financial Accounting Standards
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement titled "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS 123).
The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. FAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to
recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and
other equity instruments to employees based on fair value. The Company
has adopted the fair value accounting rules to record all transactions
in equity instruments for goods or services.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include those of Royal Silver Mines, Inc. and
Celebration Mining Company. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. The financial statements are not
considered consolidated statements since Royal Silver Mines, Inc. was
the successor by merger to Celebration Mining Company.
Change in Accounting Policies
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company changed its
method of accounting for organization costs to conform to the
requirements of Statement on Position 98-5, which requires start-up and
organization costs to be expensed as incurred. The effect of the
change was to increase net loss for the three months ended June 30,
1999 by $3,502 ($0.0002 per share). The change has no effect on prior
years.
NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES
Utah Mining Property Joint Venture
In October 1994, Celebration and United Silver Mine, Inc., (United)
entered into a joint venture agreement, whereby Celebration could
acquire up to an 80% interest in a mining property located in the State
of Utah. Under the terms of the agreement, United was to contribute
real properties for an initial 75% interest in the joint venture, and
Celebration was to remove all liens associated with the real properties
by paying $175,000 to a bank which was the primary lien holder for its
initial 25% interest in the venture.
Celebration expended $175,000 to purchase the aforementioned promissory
note. The property was auctioned in a public auction in May 1995 and
by virtue of Celebration's first position lien, Celebration was able to
successfully bid the full amount of the underlying promissory note.
Although additional expenditures have been made on the property through
June 30, 1999, no further funds towards the joint venture have been
expended by Celebration, which owns an undivided 25% interest in the
property. See Note 15 on related litigation.
Washington and Idaho Mineral Properties
During the year ended September 30, 1995, Celebration purchased through
the issuance of 800,000 shares of its common stock, various mineral
properties located in the states of Washington and Idaho. The mineral
properties were recorded at the fair market value of the shares paid on
the date of issuance ranging from $3.13 to $3.25 per share for a total
purchase price of $2,538,126.

NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)
Washington and Idaho Mineral Properties (Continued)
In May 1996, the Company sold back the Frisco Standard Silver Mine to
its original seller in exchange for the same price (35,000 shares of
Royal stock) received by the seller when the mine was purchased. The
shares received were canceled and no gain or loss was recorded on the
transaction. In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company disposed of
additional Idaho properties. See Note 4.
Shoshone County Idaho Mineral Lease (Crescent Mine)
In February 1995, Celebration entered into an agreement to acquire a
fifty-year renewable mineral lease on a property in Shoshone County,
Idaho. The mining property consists of twelve patented claims and
associated Idaho unpatented claims. In connection with this lease,
Celebration has paid $50,000 and issued 175,000 shares of common stock.
In addition, 10,000 shares were issued to a new director for his
assistance in obtaining this lease. Celebration was originally
obligated to pay $950,000 by September 1, 1995 as "an advance royalty."
The original due date was extended and the Company paid the
aforementioned $950,000 and has the option of extending its lease for
an additional forty-nine years. When, and if, the property achieves
gross sales of $40,000,000, Celebration will be obligated to pay an
additional 0.5% royalty on future sales. Furthermore, beginning after
September 1, 1995, and at such time as the average price of silver has
reached $6.00 per ounce for a 30-day period, Celebration is obligated
to spend not less than $2,000,000 during the subsequent 36 months to
de-water and repair the mine. Thereafter, Celebration will be required
to maintain the mine in a condition to allow it to be put into
production within sixty days. There are certain claims by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the County on this property for
which the lessor is obligated to pay. In the event these claims are
not satisfactorily resolved, they may affect Celebration's rights to the
property. See Note 15 on litigation regarding this lease.
Other Domestic Properties
In February 1999 in connection with the settlement agreement with Grand
Central (described in Note 18), the Company received a number of
patented mining claims in Utah and a number of unpatented mining claims
in Idaho. In aggregate, these mining claims were recorded at $45,000.
* * *
The Company's proposed future mining activities will be subject to laws
and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining of
mineral properties, but also the effect of such activities on the
environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may necessitate
additional capital outlays, affect the economics of a project, and
cause changes or delays in the Company's activities. The Company's
mineral properties are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable
value.

NOTE 4 - MINERAL PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS
Chilean Properties
During 1997, the Company acquired options on a minerals concession and
adjacent property in northern Chile. During the third quarter of
fiscal 1998, following a decision by Teck Exploration Ltd. not to
pursue its joint venture option, the Company elected to drop its
options on the Chilean properties and recorded a loss of $403,530 on
its Chilean investments.
Argentina Properties
On February 10, 1997 the Company negotiated an option to buy 12
different potential mine sites in Argentina. During the second quarter
of fiscal 1998, the Company elected to drop the option, returned the
properties to their owner, and recorded a loss of $114,341.
Mexico Properties
On January 20, 1997, the Company executed an agreement to acquire four
mining properties in Nayarit, Mexico with stipulated annual payments to
be applied against a purchase price of $5,000,000. In the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company elected to forfeit its interest in
the aforementioned Mexican properties and, resultantly, recorded a loss
of $74,194.
On February 19, 1998, the Company sold a working interest in a Mexican
joint venture that resulted in a gain of $1,454,062.
Conjecture Mine and Liberal King Mine (in U.S.)
On June 26, 1998, the Company traded six patented mining claims (known
as the Liberal King Mine) located in Shoshone County, Idaho for 50,000
shares of SynFuels Technology, Inc. valued at $8.00 per share. No gain
or loss was recognized on this transaction.
In 1995, the Company issued 280,000 shares of its common stock to
acquire the Conjecture Mine, a silver-bearing property in the state of
Idaho. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company traded
the Conjecture Mine property for 10,000 shares of common stock in
SynFuels Technology, Inc., (subsequently renamed Rigid Airship) valued
at $8.00 per share. This transaction resulted in a recorded loss on
disposition of $830,700.

Company's investment in Grand Central had dropped to $926,250 ($0.75 per
share), the Company recorded a loss on its investment of $1,997,812 at
September 30, 1998. In the second and third quarters of fiscal 1999,
the Company transferred all of its holdings in Grand Central in
connection with a settlement agreement. See Note 18.
Rigid Airship USA, Inc.
On June 26, 1998, the Company traded six patented mining claims
acquired in Shoshone County Idaho in 1995 for 50,000 shares of SynFuels
Technology, Inc. which was then trading at $8.00 per share. The
Company acquired an additional 10,000 shares of SynFuels Technology,
Inc. common stock in September 1998 in exchange for another mining
property. (See Note 4). The Company's cost of $392,000 is the recorded
value of this investment at September 30, 1998. SynFuels Technology,
Inc. changed its name to Rigid Airship in November 1998. As of June
30, 1999, the stock is considered to have no value.
Summit Silver, Inc.
In July, 1998, the Company acquired 400,000 shares of Summit Silver,
Inc. common stock valued at $0.15 per share in exchange for
transferring mining equipment with an original cost of $98,767. This
transaction resulted in a loss of $11,233. As part of a settlement
agreement in February 1999, the Company received an additional 333,333
shares of Summit Silver Stock. See Note 18.

of its common stock in payment of outstanding debt of $570,917 and
accrued interest of $38,158. The stock was issued at $1.50 per share
for a total value of $609,075. In addition, the Company issued 39,375
shares of common stock to noteholders for extending the maturity date
of their loans. Again, the shares were valued at $1.50 each, which was
the fair market value of the shares when issued.
Also during the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company issued
215,334 shares of its common stock for services received. The shares
were valued at $1.50 per share, which was the fair market value of the

In the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company issued 306,378 shares
of its common stock for services received. The shares were valued at
their fair market value at the dates of issuance, which ranged from
$0.75 to $1.25 per share.
During the year ended September 30, 1998, the Company issued 398,000
shares of common stock for services received. The shares were valued

market value of the Company's stock, the Company and shareholder
renegotiated the transaction. In November 1998, the aforementioned
shareholder returned 2,000,000 shares of stock to the Company for
cancellation and in return the Company rescinded the $700,000 note,
which was recorded as stock subscriptions receivable at September 30,
1998. The net effect of the renegotiated stock transaction was a sale
of common stock at $0.05 per share for cash only.

Celebration, prior to the exchange agreement with Royal, had granted
securities to certain shareholders that represented rights to purchase
or receive shares of Celebration's common stock. The Company assumed
these options after the merger at a rate of 1.5 shares for each option
still outstanding. Thus, the Company has granted options, with varying
conditions and requirements, to purchase a total of 1,455,000 shares of
its common stock. There are 255,000 of the stock options exercisable
at $1.50 per share, which expire March 21, 2000. The remaining

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by some of its
shareholders for alleged violations of securities laws. The suit asks
for actual damages. The Company believes the suit is completely
without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position.
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit alleging that the Company
failed to transfer common stock in exchange for a mining property
interest. While this lawsuit was dismissed, the Company has filed a
countersuit alleging fraudulent misrepresentation. The Company is
seeking both full title to the aforementioned mineral property and
punitive damages, and believes its countersuit will prevail.
In July 1998, the Company filed an action in federal court in Boise,
Idaho for declaratory judgment regarding the validity of its Crescent
Mine mineral lease. Defendants in the action include the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Shoshone County, and Fawcett
International. Management believes that there is a good likelihood of
prevailing in this matter.
NOTE 16 - WORKING INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE WITH METALLINE MINING CO.
On January 15, 1998, the Company acquired a 35% working interest in a
joint venture with Metalline Mining Co. for exploration and development
of the Sierra Mojada District, Coahuila, Mexico. The project was
formerly a joint venture between Metalline and Dakota Mining Corp.
Royal acquired the interest from Dakota in exchange for $100,000 cash,
200,000 shares of Metalline common stock, which Royal carried on its
books as an investment, and 200,000 shares of Royal Silver common
stock. Dakota retained a net smelter return royalty on future
production from the project. See Note 6.
On February 19, 1998, the Company sold the 35% working interest for
exploration and development of the Sierra Mojada District, Coahuila,
Mexico to Grand Central Silver Mines (GSLM) in exchange for a note
receivable of $350,000, payable within one year and bearing interest of
8% per annum, and 735,000 shares of GSLM valued at $1,424,062. (See

stock (previously held by Royal) and in turn received from this same
individual 1,000,000 shares of Royal Silver Mines, Inc. common stock
and 333,333 shares of Summit Silver, Inc. common stock. While this
settlement agreement involved mutual releases of liability for all
parties affected, the net effect of the settlement was the Company's
recording a loss of $247,112 from assets disposed in the second quarter
and $810,469 in the third quarter as this transaction was finalized.

temperature systems that utilize plasma technology for processing
materials and includes trade secrets, inventions (whether patented or
unpatented), information, data and experience. Upon completion of
agreed upon conditions, the Company will be granted a world wide
exclusive license to practice IET technologies necessary for the
extraction and recovery of copper from enargite ores and gold and
silver from arsenic rich ores or residual process streams from milling
and smelting operations not to include certain properties in and around
the Yuma, Arizona region.
NOTE 20 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss
of $1,216,238 for the quarter ending June 30, 1999 and an accumulated
deficit of $9,064,241 since inception.
These factors indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in
existence. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
related 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 existence. The Company's

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
There is considerable risk in any mining venture, and there can be
no assurance that the Company's operations will be successful or
profitable. Exploration for commercially minable ore deposits is
highly speculative and involves risks greater than those involved in
the discovery of mineralization. Mining companies use the evaluation
work of professional geologists, geophysicists, and engineers in
determining whether to acquire an interest in a specific property, or
whether or not to commence exploration or development work. These
estimates are not always scientifically exact, and in some instances
result in the expenditure of substantial amount of money on a property
before it is possible to make a final determination as to whether or
not the property contains economically minable ore bodies. The
economic viability of a property cannot be finally determined until
extensive exploration and development work, plus a detailed economic
feasibility study, has been performed. Also, the market prices for
mineralization produced are subject to fluctuation and uncertainty,
which may negatively affect the economic viability of properties on
which expenditures have been made. During the development stage of the
Company, from inception to June 30, 1999, the Company accumulated a
deficit of $9,064,241.
At June 30, 1999, $2,274,411 of the Company's total assets of
$2,633,231 were investments in mineral properties. Additional
exploration is required to substantiate or determine whether these
mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically
recoverable. The realization of these investments is dependent upon
the success of future property sales, the existence of economically
recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing,
the Company's success in carrying out its present plans or making other
arrangements for development, and upon future profitable production.
The ultimate outcome of these investments cannot be determined at this
time; accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may
result, in the event the Company is not successful in developing or
selling these properties, has been made in the Company's financial
statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Company currently has no revenues and, as explained above, has
an accumulated deficit. Because it has sustained recurring losses from
operations, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to fully
carry out its plans as budgeted without additional operating capital.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had negative working capital of $20,781.
This amount represents a substantial deterioration in liquidity and
capital resources from its working capital position of $303,600 at
September 30, 1998 and represents more deterioration from working
capital of $357,646 at September 30, 1997. While the largest single
element of working capital at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998
was a promissory note of $350,000 (from Grand Central Silver Mines,
Inc.), this note was redeemed in February 1999 at a loss in exchange
for mining properties and other investments. This transaction greatly
reduced the Company's current assets and liquidity. While sales of the
<PAGE> 37
Company's stock have traditionally constituted its primary source of
cash generation, depressed metals prices in 1998 and 1999 have lessened
the Company's recent ability to obtain cash from sales of its stock.
Company sales of its stock generated the following cash amounts:
$71,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 1999, $303,600 in the year
ending September 30, 1998; and $1,843,750 in the year ending September
30, 1997. In adjusting to smaller cash resources, the Company has
substantially decreased its expenses for office, personnel and
compensation, and consulting expenses.
In the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company increased its
accounts payable while accrued expenses dropped slightly. Accordingly,
the Company's current liabilities moved from $68,815 at September 30,
1998 to $69,092 at June 30, 1999. The Company had no long-term debt at
September 30, 1998 or at June 30, 1999.
The Company has estimated that it will need minimal capital
resources of approximately $3,000-4,000 per month to meet its estimated
expenditures for fiscal 1999. In recent years, several key members of
management, met with experienced financial and investment firms
throughout Europe and North America and negotiated preliminary terms
and arrangements for capital fund raising. During the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1997, the Company raised $1,843,750 in funds,
(primarily through the private placement of shares and warrants) and
during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, the Company raised
$344,500 in funds from private placement of its shares. The Company is
continuing with the previously described negotiations and various
alternatives to raise capital.
The Board of Directors reasonably believes that the Company is
able to engage in nearly any size operation or scope of mining activity
depending on the circumstances and merits of each proposed operation or
mining activity. Accordingly, the Board has not limited the size of
operation or scope of project which it believes is reasonable for
management to consider in achieving the Company's business plan.
Therefore, management has been authorized to consider and review
numerous proposals and, upon satisfactory assessment, to then make a
specific determination as to an estimated range of funding amounts that
each such proposal reasonably might require.
Inasmuch as the Company has not yet determined in detail the
specifications of the project, operation or mining activity that it
intends to undertake, management is not able at this time to provide a
detailed listing or exact range of operation costs, including increases
in general and administrative expense, if any. However, the Company
plans to fund any increases in general and administrative expense
principally from joint venture revenues or funds it may receive or
savings it may realize through corporate restructuring or business
combination arrangements. Funds required to finance the Company's
exploration and development of mineral properties are expected to come
primarily from the contributions of its joint venture participants, and
from the funds generated from such joint ventures and other lease or
royalty arrangements.
<PAGE> 38
The Company consistently has made full and timely payment of its
expenses, in particular to the various governmental payees it interacts
with, and has met its obligations to the entities which provide its
personnel, office space, and equipment needs. The Company currently is
seeking alternate sources of working capital sufficient to increase the
funding of additional general and administrative expenses that may
become necessary as the Company's business plan develops, and to
continue meeting its ongoing payment obligations for its leases to
governmental entities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND JUNE 30, 1999,
RESPECTIVELY.
General and administrative expenses plummeted from $765,460 during
the three quarters of fiscal 1998 to $211,532 during the same period in
fiscal 1999. This decrease is principally due to greatly reduced
consulting expenses and compensation to officers and directors. As a
result, during the first three quarters of fiscal 1998 compared to the
first three quarters of 1999, the Company's loss from operations
decreased correspondingly. In the first nine months of 1998, the
Company experienced a gain of $2,010,313 on property sold, which had
the effect of substantially offsetting expenses and other losses and
giving the Company net income of $745,415 (or $0.05 per share) for the
first three quarters of 1998. Without this favorable gain in 1999 and
with an unfavorable negotiated settlement in connection with Grand
Central Silver Mines, Inc. which resulted in a loss of $247,112 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999, and a loss of $810,469 in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company experienced a net loss of
$1,216,238 (or $0.06 per share) for the first nine months of 1999.
The Company is unable to fully determine the impact of future
transactions on its operating capital. Hence, the Company has
determined not to incur and does not have any commitments or plans for
material capital expenditures during the remainder of its current
fiscal year for which it does not have a reasonably available source of
payment. It is uncertain what effect this decision may have with
respect to restricting capital expenditures.
On the one hand, if the Company were to continue such restriction,
the likely effect might be adverse to the preservation of its assets
and capital base, thereby narrowing the scope of plans for future
operations and constricting liquidity. On the other hand, if the
Company were to discontinue such restriction without an increase in
sustained cash flow, the likely effect of that might be an increase in
accumulated deficits which could be adverse to the Company's financial
condition with respect to liabilities and stockholders' equity.
Therefore, while the Company continues to seek a joint venture
participant and additional sources of capital for financing operations
during the remainder of its current fiscal year, the Company will
continue to carefully monitor its capital expenditures.

The Officers and Directors of the Company certify that to the best
of their knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Officers and
Directors are parties to any legal proceeding or litigation. Further,
the Officers and Directors know of no threatened or contemplated legal
proceedings or litigation with the exception of the following:
1. The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by some of its
shareholders for alleged violations of securities laws. The suit was
filed in the U.S. District Court in Denver on January 22, 1998 with
Rounds et al as plaintiffs vs. Royal Silver Mines, Inc. et al as
defendants. Plaintiffs seek damages and attorneys' fees in their
lawsuit, which alleges that defendants made false/misleading statements
and omitted material disclosures in connection with public trading of
Royal's common stock during the period May 1996 to August 1997. The
Company believes that this lawsuit is completely without merit. The
Company is not aware of any similar action(s) contemplated or
instituted by governmental authorities. The trial court sustained the
Company's motion for summary judgment dismissing claims against it for
omissions of material fact.
2. The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Thomas F.
Miller (et al.), in the First Judicial Court in and for Box Elder
County, State of Utah. The suit, which alleges that the Company failed
to transfer common stock in exchange for a mining interest, asks for
actual and punitive damages. The trial court has since dismissed all
of the plaintiffs' claims against the Company and the plaintiffs have
since appealed the decision. The appeal is currently pending. The
trial court did not dismiss the defendant's counterclaims alleging
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Company is seeking both full title
to the aforementioned mineral property and punitive damages, and
believes its countersuit will prevail.
3. In July 1998, the Company filed an action in federal court in
Boise, Idaho for declaratory judgment regarding the validity of its
Crescent Mine mineral lease. Defendants in the action include the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Shoshone County, and Fawcett
International. Management believes that there is a good likelihood of
prevailing in this matter.
None of the Officers and Directors have been convicted of a
felony or none have been convicted of any criminal offense, felony and
misdemeanor relating to securities or performance of corporate office.
To the best knowledge of the Officers and Directors, no investigations
of felonies, misfeasance in office or securities investigations are
either pending or threatened at the present time.
