         ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted

disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Registrant's

In the opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Registrant as of April 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and changes
in its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1999 and

                               SILVER ASSETS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 APRIL 30, 1999

1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals and estimates) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month
periods ended April 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full fiscal year ending October 31, 1999. For further
information, the reader should refer to the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended October 31, 1998.

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Rio
Grande Mining Company ("Rio Grande"), its 88.9 % owned subsidiary and Rio Grande
Silver ("Silver"), a 100% owned Nevada corporation. Silver had no assets as of
April 30, 1999. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Rio Grande is deemed to be a development stage company as that term is defined
by Statement of Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by
Development Stage Enterprises." See page 9 for supplemental disclosure relating
to Rio Grande's changes in stockholders' equity from inception through April 30,
1999.

2.   Stock issuances
     ---------------

The Company authorized the issuance of 1,711,000 shares of common stock on
December 29, 1998, to settle a personal injury claim against the Company's
subsidiary Rio Grande. Rio Grande issued 1,447,769 shares of its common stock to
the Company in exchange for the Company's issuance to the claimant.

The Company issued 2,946,136 shares of common stock on January 12, 1999 to
certain key employees and consultants to the Company and Rio Grande in
accordance with prior agreements to issue such stock for services rendered. The
number of shares issued was based upon a fair market value of $.03 per share. Of
these shares, 2,396,136 were issued in exchange for 2,027,500 shares of Rio
Grande common stock to the Company in connection with Rio Grande employees and
consultants who had initially received Rio Grande shares.

The Company authorized the issuance of 400,000 shares of common stock on January
29, 1999, to another mining company as partial payment for an option to acquire
certain mill equipment for use by Rio Grande. Rio Grande issued 338,461 shares
of its common stock to the Company in consideration of the Company's delivery of
its shares for the option. (See Note 3)

3.   Option on Mining Equipment
     --------------------------

The Company has acquired an option on certain mill equipment from another mining
company with respect to its making necessary preparations for the production of
minerals from Rio Grande's mining properties. Cash payments of $185,000 and the
issue of 400,000 shares of the Company's stock have been made to that mining
company. In the event that the Company does not exercise its option to acquire
the mill equipment, the consideration given for this option are non-refundable.

4.   Management's Plans
     ------------------

The Company's principal assets are its investments in the Shafter-Presidio
Silver Mine (the "Silver Mine") and Red Hills mineral properties through its
majority ownership of Rio Grande Mining Company. The Company has not commenced
business operations, has no current source of revenue and has incurred
significant losses. The continuing existence of the Company is dependent upon
its ability to raise sufficient additional capital in order to meet its current
obligations, to fund the recovery of start-up costs and ultimately, the price of
silver and/or copper reaching levels which provide for adequate profitability
from production of minerals. These factors raise considerable doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

Coastal Capital Partners, LP ("Coastal") is the majority shareholder of the
Company, controls the election of the Board of Directors and can effectively
cause a sale of the Company or other significant business transaction to occur.
Coastal has supported the Company and Rio Grande in the past by providing
working capital through debt and equity financing. The Company from time to time
has investigated third party financing. The Company is likely to be dependent
upon continued support from Coastal for the foreseeable future; however, Coastal
is under no obligation to provide such support and there can be no assurance it
will continue to do so.

The Company's present objectives are to retain its interests in its properties
and to make necessary preparations for the potential production of minerals from
these properties in anticipation of increases in their market prices.
Alternatively, the Company may consider a merger or sale of all or part of its
assets or the Company as a whole to achieve its profit objectives. Initiation of
production at the properties will require substantial additional capital. In
order to commence such production, the Company will need to raise sufficient
capital or undertake a joint venture with an experienced mining operator who has
the ability to finance operations. At this time, there can be no assurance that
either of these alternatives can be achieved on terms acceptable to the Company.

</TABLE>

         The Registrant's 88.9% owned subsidiary, Rio Grande, is deemed to be a
"company in the development stage" as that term is defined in Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises". Rio Grande's principal asset is the Shafter-Presidio Silver Mine,
a non-operating silver property located in Presidio County, Texas referred to as
the "Silver Mine" consisting of approximately 3,430 acres of owned and leased
surface and/or mineral rights and an option on approximately 16,000 acres known
as the Option Property which includes the Red Hills Property. See Form 10-KSB
(for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998) Item 2 "Description of Property -
The Silver Mine". Registrant and Rio Grande incurred substantial expenses in
prior years in connection with the Silver Mine. Management has obtained recent
updates of independent appraisals performed for the Silver Mine and Red Hills
Property which indicate that the carrying values of these mineral properties do
not presently exceed their net realizable values.

         Net revenues for the first two quarters of 1998 and 1997 represent
miscellaneous items of income, primarily small amounts of royalties from
previous investments in oil and gas working interests and neither Registrant nor
Rio Grande anticipate any revenues from operations in the next fiscal year.

         Substantial expenses were incurred during the first two quarters of
fiscal 1999, as well as the first two quarters of fiscal 1998, in connection
with the acquisition and/or evaluation of the Silver Mine. However, total
expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were 155% of those incurred
during the same quarter of fiscal 1998 and 133% for the first six months of
fiscal 1999 compared to the same period in fiscal 1998. This substantial
increase is due to the significant expansion of activities related to the
preparation of the Silver Mine for the potential production of minerals.
Salaries, employee benefits, consulting fees and other mine related expenses all
increased significantly as a result of costs incurred in preparing the Silver
Sine for mineral production.

         Registrant had approximately $350,828 of cash as of April 30, 1999
compared to $550,915 at October 31, 1998. Monthly operating expenses, including
those required to maintain Rio Grande's properties, are expected to exceed
$125,000 per month, prior to the startup of any mining operations, over the next
several months. Registrant has no current source of revenue sufficient to meet
these expenses other than its current cash. Start-up production at the mine site
will require substantial additional capital. In order to commence such
production, Registrant will need to raise sufficient additional capital or
undertake a joint venture with an experienced mining operator who has the
ability to finance operations. Registrant is currently determining the viability
of proceeding with a production plan at the Silver Mine and in that regard, in
January 1999, optioned certain used mill property that should be appropriate for
the anticipated mining operations.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         In the past, the funding of expenses was dependent upon support from
Coastal LP, Registrant's major shareholder. In fiscal 1998, Coastal LP provided
funding to Registrant and Rio Grande totaling over $1,866,000, through the
issuance of notes and advances (which were later converted to common stock in
Registrant) and the purchase and/or exercise of warrants. During the first six
months of fiscal 1999, Coastal LP advanced $756,000 to Registrant. Registrant
has investigated third party financing but may continue to be dependent upon
Coastal LP for funding. However, Coastal LP is under no obligation to continue
such funding to either Registrant or Rio Grande.

         Registrant's objectives are to make the necessary preparations for the
profitable production of minerals from the Silver Mine and Red Hills Property in
anticipation of increases in the market prices of such minerals even while
considering a sale of all or part of its assets, of Rio Grande, or a sale of
Registrant as a whole to achieve its profit objectives. At this time, there can
be no assurance that any of these alternatives can be achieved on terms
acceptable to the Registrant.

             Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor"
             ------------------------------------------------------
       Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
       ------------------------------------------------------------------

         From time to time the Registrant will make written and oral
forward-looking statements about matters that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the
Registrant will have adequate financial resources to fund the development of the
Shafter Project, that significant mineral resources exist and can be
economically developed and readily and profitably marketed, and that there will
be no material adverse change in the market for such minerals or in the
Registrant's sources of funding. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgment
with respect to, among other things, information available to the Registrant,
future economic, competitive and market conditions including fluctuations in
mineral prices, unexpected geological conditions, the speculative nature of
mineral exploration and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Registrant's
control. Accordingly, although the Registrant believes that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption
could prove to be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the
results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. There are a
number of other risks presented by the Registrant's business and operations
which could cause the Registrant's financial performance to vary markedly from
the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management
decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic
revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments,
the impact of which may cause the Registrant to alter its capital investment and
other expenditures, which may also adversely affect the Registrant's results of
operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in forward-looking
information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Registrant or
any other person that the Registrant's objectives or plans will be achieved.
