PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements of Cadence Resources Corporation (Formerly 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 at pages. 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, 2001, and the results of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and from inception on February 17, 1994 through June 30, 2001, in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Celebration Mining Company and Cadence Resources Corporation (formerly 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 (Cadence). 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 acc ompanying 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 Cadence Resources Corporation and Celebration, but are not considered consolidated financial statements since Cadence 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 Cadence Resources Corporation (formerly Royal Silver Mines, Inc.) (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2001, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2001, and for the period from February 17, 1994 (inception) through June 30, 2001. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Cadence Resources Corporation.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2000 were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated January 8, 2001. 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 13 to the financial statements, the Company=s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management=s plans are also discussed in Note 13. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CADENCE RESOURCES CORPORATION
(Formerly Royal Silver Mines, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cadence Resources Corporation (formerly Royal Silver Mines, Inc.) (ACadence@) was incorporated in April of 1969 under the laws of the State of Utah primarily for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. Cadence conducts its business as aAjunior@ natural resource company, meaning that it intends to receive income from property sales or joint ventures with larger companies. The Company has elected a September 30 fiscal year-end.
The Company changed its name from Royal Silver Mines, Inc. to Cadence Resources Corporation on May 2, 2001 upon obtaining approval from the state of Utah. The Company shall be referred to asACadence@ orACadence Resources Corporation@ even though the events described may have occurred while the Company=s name wasARoyal Silver Mines, Inc.@.
Celebration Mining Company (ACelebration@), currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Cadence, 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, Cadence 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 Cadence, 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 Cadence in the exchange as the market value approximated the net carrying value. Cadence is the acquiring entity for legal purposes and Celebration is the surviving entity for accounting purposes.
The $698,847 cost of mineral properties included in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued)
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.
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
This summary of significant accounting policies of Cadence Resources Corporation is presented to assist in understanding the Company=s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company=s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Company=s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Development Stage
The company is in the development stage and has not commenced the sale of any products.
Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

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 diluted 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.
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.
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.
Provision For Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109AAccounting for Income Taxes.@ Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met theAmore likely than not@ standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
At June 30, 2001, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $997,500, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at June 30, 2001.

Provision For Taxes (continued)
At June 30, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,650,000, which expire in the years 2001 through 2021. Additionally, the Company has capital loss carryovers of approximately $4,577,000.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a statement titledAAccounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets.@ In complying with this standard, 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 write-downs and write-offs taken throughout fiscal 1998, fiscal 1999, and fiscal 2000, the Company does not believe any further adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at June 30, 2001. See Note 3.
Financial Accounting Standards
The Company has adopted the fair value accounting rules to record all transactions in equity instruments for goods or services.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include those of Cadence Resources Corporation and Celebration Mining Company. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The financial statements are not considered consolidated statements since Cadence Resources Corporation was the successor by merger to Celebration Mining Company.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (ASFAS@) No. 133,AAccounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,@ as amended by SFAS No. 137,AAccounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesB Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133@, and SFAS No. 138,AAccounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities@, which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001. This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
At June 30, 2001, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Change in Accounting Policies
During the year ended September 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 year ended September 30, 1999, by $3,502 ($0.004 per share). The change has no effect on prior years.
Investments
Investments, consisting of equity securities of private and small public companies, are stated at current market value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, receivables, deposits, payables, and advances from related parties approximate their fair value.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 included herein have been prepared for the Company without audit. They reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for these periods. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"), and No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements. Both SFAS 130 and SFAS 131 are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted both of these accounting standards, and the adoption of SFAS 131 had no effect on the Company's financial statements and disclosures. The adoption of SFAS 130, regarding other comprehensive income, is reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140AAccounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.@ This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities and also provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS No. 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000, and is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on t he Company=s results of operations or financial position.
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 September 30, 1998, no further funds towards th e joint venture have been expended by Celebration, which owns an undivided 25% interest in the property.

Active Mineral Properties in North Idaho
The Company, directly and through its subsidiary Celebration Mining Company, holds forty-three unpatented mining claims in the Coeur d=Alene Mining District in four distinct groups called the Kil Group, West Mullan Group, South Galena Group, and Palisades Group. The Company has undertaken only minimal exploration and development work on these properties, such as general geological reconnaissance and claim-staking activities.
In September, 2000 the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Celebration Mining Company, entered into a five-year lease agreement with an affiliated company, Oxford Metallurgical, Inc. on its eight-claim Palisades Group property. The lease calls for a semi-annual payment of $3,000, or alternatively, the semi-annual payment of 10,000 shares of the common stock of Oxford. Oxford has the right to explore and potentially develop the property under certain conditions.
Washington and Idaho Mineral Properties
During the year ended September 30, 1995, Celebration purchased, through the issuance of 40,000 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 $62.60 to $65.00 per share for a total purchase price of $2,538,126. In May 1996, the Company sold back the Frisco Standard Silver Mine to its original seller in exchange for the same price (1,750 shares of Cadence 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.
Other Domestic Properties
In February 1999, in connection with the settlement agreement with Grand Central (described in Note 11), 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.
In the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company elected to write off all of its interests in three mineral properties, which were known as Western Continental, Brush Prairie and Bismark. The net effect of this write down was to record a loss on asset impairment of $251,947.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit alleging that the Company failed to transfer common stock in exchange for a mining property interest. In June 1999, Box Elder County Superior Court rejected the plaintiff=s lawsuit and let stand the Company=s countersuit alleging fraudulent misrepresentation. Although the plaintiff filed an appeal (regarding the originally filed lawsuit), the Utah Supreme Court rejected the appeal in a judgment rendered on July 31, 2001.
In its countersuit, the Company is seeking both full title to the aforementioned mineral property, compensatory damages as well as punitive damages. The Company believes its countersuit will prevail.
NOTE 11B SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS
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. In 1999, the Company elected to write off its interest in the Crescent Mine mineral lease. A final settlement of this matter was reached on June 12, 2001 whereby the Company relinquished any claims it may have to the Crescent Mine under its mineral lease. In return, the Company agreed to cancel common shares it issued to Faucett International pursuant to the lease and received a release and discharge of any claims related to the Crescent Mine from both Shoshone County and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
In February 1999, the Company entered into a settlement arrangement wherein Grand Central Silver Mines, Inc. (hereinafterAGrand@) transferred equipment, mining claims, and securities (including 22,500 shares of Cadence Resources Corporation stock) to Cadence in full settlement of a $350,000 promissory note (and accrued interest) owed by Grand to Cadence. In connection with the same transaction, the Company transferred to an individual 154,375 shares of Grand common stock (previously held by Cadence) and in turn received from this same individual 50,000 shares of Cadence Resources Corporation 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 losses in 1999 of $247,112 from assets disposed in the second quarter and $810,469 in the third quarter as this transaction was finalized.

The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit filed by some of its shareholders for alleged financial improprieties. Although the directors of the Company vigorously disputed the plaintiffs= claims, the directors elected to settle this matter out of court in September 1999 after receiving advice from counsel that the costs of defending the litigation would exceed the costs of settling out of court. In the resulting settlement, the Company agreed to pay the plaintiffs $60,000 in cash and in addition, two Company officers agreed to transfer personally owned investments to the plaintiffs. Accordingly, in turn, the Company indemnified the aforementioned corporate officers by transferring to them stock in Summit Silver Mines, Inc. and a mineral property interest in the Imperial Mine. The transaction resulted in a charge to operations of $103,950.

In January 1999, the Company entered into a technology licensing agreement with Integrated Environmental Technologies, LLC (IET), a New York limited liability company, to acquire, develop and exploit mineral deposits using IET technology. IET technology involves high 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 was to have been granted a worldwide 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. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company renegotiated certain terms and conditions of the licensing agreement and assigned its interest in the l icense agreement to Envirogold LLC. In February, 2001 Envirogold LLC was informed that the license had been withdrawn due to an inability on the part of either party to provide the test feed materials required to prove the viability of the technology for the anticipated application, a condition of the license grant. See Note 5.
NOTE 13 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statement, the Company has no revenues, has incurred a net loss of $209,129 for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and has an accumulated deficit of $11,094,595 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 in existence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 13 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
The Company=s management has strong beliefs that significant and imminent private placements will generate sufficient cash for the Company to operate for the next few years. The Company also believes that the occasional sale of its equity investments will provide cash as needed for operations.
NOTE 14B RELATED PARTIES
The Company sublets office space on a month to month basis from one of its officers in Walla Walla, Washington for $400 per month. Total rent paid for this office space during the nine months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended September 30, 2000 was $2,400 and $1,200, respectively.
The Company entered into a mineral lease agreement with Oxford Metallurgical, Inc. for the five-year period ending September 1, 2005. Under this agreement, Oxford receives a leasehold interest in certain mining properties in Kootenai County, Idaho in exchange for semi-annual lease payments of $300 and the maintenance of property and liability insurance on the lease properties. Because Oxford Metallurgical, Inc. is owned by two officers of Cadence, this transaction cannot be considered to be the product of an arms-length negotiation.
Other related party transactions are disclosed in Notes 5 and 12.

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 feasibili ty 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, 2001, the Company accumulated a deficit of $11,102,595.
At June 30, 2001, $698,847 of the Company's total assets of $880,861 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, 2001, the Company had negative working capital of $89,785. At September 30, 2000, the Company had negative working capital of $78,422. These amounts represent general deterioration in liquidity and capital resources from the Company=s positive working capital in prior years. The largest single element of negative working capital is accounts payable which increased from $109,115 at September 30, 2000 to $114,627 at June 30, 2001. While sales of the Company=s stock have traditionally constituted its primary source of cash generation, dep ressed metals prices in recent years have lessened the Company=s ability to obtain cash from sales of its stock. Company sales of its stock generated the following cash amounts: $5,000 in cash and $159,000 in investments in the nine months ending June 30, 2001, $0 cash in the year ending September 30, 2000, $158,200 cash in the year ending September 30, 1999; and $344,500 in cash in the year ending September 30, 1998. In adjusting to smaller cash resources, the Company has substantially decreased its expenses for office, personnel and compensation, and consulting expenses.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company increased its accounts payable by $5,512 while current assets (including cash balances) decreased by $5,851 since September 30, 2000. The Company had no long-term debt at September 30, 2000 or at June 30, 2001.
The Company has estimated that it will need minimal capital resources of approximately $20,000-$25,000 per month to meet its estimated expenditures for fiscal 2001. 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, 1999, the Company raised $158,200 in funds, (primarily through the private placement of shares) 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.
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, 2000 and June 30, 2001, Respectively.General and administrative expenses increased from $157,278 during the first three quarters of fiscal 2000 to $160,436 during the same period of fiscal 2001. This increase is principally due to greater than normal consulting expenses. In the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a loss on disposition and impairment of assets of $25,688, while in the nine months ended June 30, 2001 the loss was $51,284. As a result, during the first three quarters of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine months of 2001, the net loss increased from $182,662 to $217,129, while the net loss per share decreased from $0.18 per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 to $0.15 per share for the corresponding period of 2001. During the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded an unrealized gain on investments of $125,715 while the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $136,926 for the correspon ding period of 2001. Accordingly, the nine month 2000 comprehensive loss of $56,947 increased to a comprehensive loss of $354,055 for the first nine months of 2001.
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.
On April 23, 2001, the Company held its annual stockholders meeting, at which time the stockholders voted to increase the authorized capital to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, and to create a class of preferred stock. In addition the shareholders authorized a 1 for 20 reverse stock split and voted to change the name of the Company to Cadence Resources Corporation.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit alleging that the Company failed to transfer common stock in exchange for a mining property interest. In June 1999, Box Elder County Superior Court rejected the plaintiff=s lawsuit and let stand the Company=s countersuit alleging fraudulent misrepresentation. Although the plaintiff has filed an appeal (regarding the originally filed lawsuit) with the Utah Supreme Court, the Company believes that the appeal is completely without merit and will not be sustained. On July 31, 2001, the Utah Supreme Court found in favor of the Company and against the plaintiffs.
In its countersuit, the Company will continued to prosecute its countersuit against the plaintiffs. The Company believes its countersuit will prevail.
