SOUTHWESTERN WATER EXPLORATION CO.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2001
(Expressed in U. S. Dollars
1. Incorporation and basis of presentation:
Southwestern Water Exploration Co. (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado and is planning to develop projects for the production of water reservoirs in the United States.
These financial statements are presented using U.S. dollars as the functional and reporting currency and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The financial information included herein is unaudited. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual audited financial statements dated March 31, 2001, and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements. The disclosures herein are incremental to those included within the annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual statements.
2. Organization and business:
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations.
At September 30, 2001 the Company is in the development stage and has no history of generating cash flow from its operations. The Company intends to develop and market potable water throughout the southwest United States and has identified a number of sites that it believes will provide potable water, including significant water reservoirs in Colorado. In order to develop these sites, the Company needs to acquire access rights and raise financing in order to commence drilling. Once developed, it is the intent of the Company to market the water from these sites, or in the event it is unsuccessful, to sell the water rights.
During its development stage, the Company has funded its operating activities primarily by issuing equity. The Company anticipates that it will be necessary to issue additional equity to fund future activities. During the six months ended September 30, 2001 the Company raised $1,300,000 from private placements.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional equity or of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The application of the going concern concept is dependent upon the Company receiving the continued support of its shareholders, its ability to raise new capital and its ability to achieve a commercial level of production and sales and profitable operations.
3. Related party transactions:
From time to time amounts are advanced by AIFE Canada to the Company as and when required for operating purposes. There is, however, no obligation for AIFE Canada to make future advances. During the six months ended September 30, 2001, the Company received $120,701, net of repayments, from AIFE Canada, (2000—net repayment to AIFE Canada of $92,874.
The advances from AIFE Canada, which total $34,045 as of March 31, 2001 and $154,746 at September 31, 2001, are non-interest bearing with no fixed terms of repayment and are classed as long-term as the affiliate has agreed not to demand repayment within the next year.

The Company authorized for issuance 40,000 shares for services rendered during the six months ended September 30, 2001 and 230,000 shares for services rendered during fiscal 2001 that were not yet issued at September 30, 2001. The fair value of these shares was $108,000 of which $16,000 has been included in stock issuance costs in fiscal 2002 and $92,000 had been included in stock issuance costs in fiscal 2001.
On August 21, 2000, the Board of Directors resolved to issue 2,979,880 common shares to AIFE Canada as repayment of $655,574 of amounts owing to AIFE Canada. The value of $0.22 per share issued was determined by the Board to be the fair value of the common shares at that date. The shares were not yet issued at September 30, 2001.
During the six months ended September 30, 2001 the Company issued 1,290,000 warrants, each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2001.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to future events or the Company's future financial performance. The Company intends the forward-looking statements throughout this quarterly report and the information incorporated by reference to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. All projections and statements regarding the Company's expected financial position and operating results, its business strategy, its financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may," "believe," "plan," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," and other words and phrases of similar meaning. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on information available as of the date of this report on Form 10-QSB and on numerous assumptions and developments that are not within our control. Although the Company believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you they will turn out to be correct. Actual results could be materially different from our expectations due to a variety of factors, including the following:
- •
- the Company's ability to locate and utilize significant potable water reserves capable of being transported to the end user;
- •
- the Company's ability to obtain water rights to deep-water reserves;
- •
- the Company's ability to obtain government approvals to drill exploratory wells, construct pipelines and appropriate water;
- •
- the Company's ability to comply with current and future laws or regulations that could require material expenditures by the Company;
- •
- the Company's ability to obtain significant additional capital required to commence drilling, operate the wells, construct pipelines and storage facilities, and develop a marketing program for the sale of water to end users;
- •
- water allocation regulations imposed by states that control the amount of water that the Company can draw from water sources;
- •
- intense competition with government agencies and other companies that are better capitalized than the Company; and
- •
- the Company's status as a development stage company with limited operating history and continuing losses.
This list is intended to identify some of the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this report.
General
Southwestern Water Exploration Co. (the "Company"), formerly Star Acquisitions Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 10, 1987. The Company's activities from inception consisted primarily of reviewing possible business opportunities and acquisitions and maintaining the business entity. The Company had only nominal net assets and no operational activities from the fiscal
years 1987 through 1993, and all expenses incurred were solely related to maintaining the entity and reviewing potential business opportunities.
As of September 30, 2001, the Company is in the development stage and has no history of generating cash flow from its operations. The Company intends to develop and market potable water throughout the southwest United States and has identified a number of sites which it believes will provide potable water, including a significant water reservoir in Colorado and other western states. In order to develop and commence drilling these sites the Company needs to acquire access rights and raise additional capital. Once developed, it is the intent of the Company to market the water from these sites, or in the event it is unsuccessful, to sell the water rights.
Results of Operation
The Company had no revenues from operations for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and the six months ended September 30, 2001. The Company does not anticipate earning revenues until such time as it has successfully acquired water rights and marketed the water or sold the water rights. During the six months ended September 30, 2001, the Company received $2,055 in interest income. The Company incurred expenses of $371,343 during the six months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $178,985 in the same period in 2000. The increase in expense is due primarily to consulting fees paid during the period, which were non-cash items reflecting the fair market value of stocks and warrants issued to third parties in connection with equity financing services, as well as increased expenses for office, investor relations, salary and professional services.
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flow each quarter and each year since 1993. The Company's accumulated deficit was $2,410,362 and $2,779,650 at March 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, respectively. The Company believes it will continue to experience net losses on a quarterly and annual basis until and unless the Company is able to generate or develop business revenues for which there is no future assurance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During its development stage, the Company has funded its operating activities primarily by issuing equity as well as loans from shareholders and AIFE, American Institute of Formation Evaluation, Ltd. ("AIFE Canada"), a Canadian corporation controlled by Steven Misner and Barbara McAllister, each of whom are officers and directors of the Company.
In August 2000, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to issue 2,979,880 shares of its common stock to AIFE Canada as repayment of $655,574 owed to AIFE Canada, at a value of $0.22 per share, which was determined by the Board to be the fair market value of the shares at that date. The shares of common stock were issued to AIFE Canada in August 2002 and subsequently distributed by AIFE Canada to its shareholders. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements—"Related party transactions."
During the six months ended September 30, 2001, the Company received $249,076 in advances from AIFE Canada and made payments to AIFE Canada of $128,375. As of September 30, 2001, the Company owes AIFE Canada an aggregate of $154,746, which is non-interest bearing advance and has no fixed term for repayment. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements—"Related party transactions."
During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company received an aggregate of $1,300,000 in proceeds from the sale of its securities. From March 31, 2000 through March 31, 2002, the Company has raised an aggregate of $2.5 million in additional funds from a series of private placements to certain accredited investors, which the Company is currently using to pursue its leasing, drilling and marketing activities for the sites identified in Colorado. The Company anticipates that funding of future activities will continue to be provided by the completion of private placements of its common stock.
