NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1999
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the financial position of the Company, the results
of its operations and changes in cash flows for the interim periods
reported. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All
financial statements presented herein are unaudited. However, the
balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, was derived from the audited
consolidated balance sheet. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
fiscal year.
Note 2 - Income Taxes
The income tax provisions consisted of:

State -- -- -- --

Total $7,766 $ -- $97,120 --
The effective income tax rate was 7% and 0% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily due to
the application of a net operating loss carryforward. At September
30, 1999, the Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $5,300,000 available to offset future regular taxable
income, which, if unused, will expire from 2000 through 2018.
The Company decreased the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets by $550,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
decreased the valuation allowance by $116,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999.
Note 3 - The Goldfield Corporation 1998 Executive Long-Term
Incentive Plan
In 1998 the stockholders of the Company approved the 1998 Executive
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which permits the granting of
Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Units, Performance Share and other awards to all
officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Shares granted pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, Treasury shares or shares purchased on the
open market. The exercise price under such grants will be based on
the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. The
maximum number of shares available for grant under the Plan is
1,300,000. As of September 30, 1999, options for 985,000 shares
(exercisable at $0.22 per share) had been granted.
Note 4 - Impairment Losses
The Company had a note receivable from the sale of its San Pedro mining
property. During the third quarter of 1998, management determined
the note receivable to be an impaired asset and wrote off the unpaid
balance. Future discounted cash flows were estimated by management
to be zero primarily due to anticipated legal and reclamation costs.
During the second and third quarters of 1999, the Company received
a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure for the real property, water rights
and other assets and a Bill of Sale in Lieu of Foreclosure for
certain equipment in connection with this mining property. The
Company has sold certain of these assets for cash and a note
receivable resulting in recovery of previously recognized impairment
losses. The recovery of $181,087 has been separately identified in
the Company's operating results from mining.
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company recovered $53,500
relating to its previous write-off in the second quarter of 1998, of
a coal royalty it retained in property it formerly owned in Harlan,
Kentucky, (the "Harlan Coal Royalty"). The Company recognized an
impairment loss of $95,618 in the second quarter of 1998, which was
included in the Company's operating results from mining. The
recovery of $53,500 has been separately identified in the Company's
operating results from mining.
Note 5 - Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings (loss) per common share, after deducting dividend
requirements on the Company's Series A 7% Voting Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Stock") of $17,819 in each of
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, were based
on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding, excluding 17,358 shares of Treasury Stock for each of
the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Common shares
issuable on conversion of Series A Stock are not considered in the
basic earnings (loss) calculation because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.
Note 6 - Business Segment
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, in 1998. The adoption of this
statement did not have any effect on either the current or prior
years' presentation of reportable segments. The Company is
primarily involved in two lines of business, mining and electrical
construction. There were no material amounts of sales or transfers
between lines of business and no material amounts of export sales.
Any intersegment sales have been eliminated. The following tables

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999
Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company had net income of $1,425,953 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of $1,230,220 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Revenues
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$16,265,745, compared to $10,709,105 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, an increase of 52%. The increase in revenues was
primarily attributable to a higher level of activity in electrical
construction operations resulting from higher demand for such services
in the utilities industry.
Electrical construction revenue increased by 61% in the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 to $14,461,978 from $8,967,863 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.
Revenue from mining operations increased by 8% to $1,615,921 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $1,499,868 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.
Operating Results
Electrical construction operations had an operating profit of
$2,343,076 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared
to an operating profit of $218,934 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase in operating results in 1999 was
primarily due to an increase in the level of operations and profit
margins. The varying magnitude and duration of electrical
construction projects may result in substantial fluctuation in the
Company's backlog from time to time. At September 30, 1999, the
approximate value of uncompleted contracts was $2,600,000, compared
to $7,425,000 at September 30, 1998.
Effective June 30, 1999, the Company sold to an unrelated party
substantially all the net assets of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Fiber Optic Services, Inc., at the recorded net book
value thereof. Fiber Optic Services sold for $525,070. Fiber Optic's
Services's revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 were
$592,244.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the operating loss
from mining operations was $103,458, compared to an operating loss
of $610,451 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The
operating results from mining operations in 1999 included the
recovery of $234,587 of previously recorded impairment losses
related to the Harlan Coal Royalty and the San Pedro mine. The 1998
operating results from mining included a charge of $354,156 for this
impairment loss. The operating results from mining included
depreciation expense of $225,071 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to $224,740 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998.
St. Cloud Mining Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
("St. Cloud"), sold 12,367 tons of natural zeolite during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 10,846 tons during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Surface and underground mining of base and precious metals have been
halted at St. Cloud since the third quarter of 1991 and the first
quarter of 1992, respectively, due to declining prices and mine
grades. St. Cloud's viability is sensitive to the future price of
base and precious metals, particularly silver.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, The Lordsburg
Mining Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
("Lordsburg"), sold 7,765 tons of construction aggregate material,
compared to 16,314 tons sold during the nine months ended September
30, 1998.
Production from underground mining at Lordsburg, which was suspended
in February 1994, had previously been intermittent due to low ore
grade and inconsistent smelter demand. The ore produced from the
mine was used by nearby copper smelters as precious metal bearing
siliceous flux. Future demand for underground ores cannot be
determined at this time.
Although the Company has continued limited production of
construction aggregates at Lordsburg, a final decision with respect
to the future operations at Lordsburg has not been reached.
Other Income
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$187,846, compared to $241,374 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998. The decrease in other income for 1999 was primarily a
result of lower interest income.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses, and the components thereof, increased to
$14,742,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$11,939,325 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, primarily
as a result of increased electrical construction costs.
Electrical construction costs were $11,589,363, and $8,241,276 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in costs for 1999 was attributable to a higher level of
activity.
Mining costs were $1,521,979 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999, compared to $1,518,384 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998.
Depreciation and amortization was $807,710 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to $797,932 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.
General corporate expenses of the Company increased to $1,111,307 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from $1,080,077 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 1999
Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1998.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company had net income of $304,963 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of $849,034 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998.
Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were
$3,658,820, compared to $2,574,977 in the like 1998 period, an
increase of 42%. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable
to a higher level of activity in electrical construction operations
resulting from higher demand for such services in the utility industry.
Electrical construction revenue increased by 58% in the three months
ended September 30, 1999 to $3,085,624 from $1,955,420 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998.
Revenue from mining operations decreased by 10% to $522,755 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from $579,275 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998.
Operating Results
Electrical construction operations had an operating profit of
$490,269 during the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared
to an operating loss of $230,561 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase in operating results in 1999 was
primarily due to an increase in the level of activity and profit
margins.
During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the operating
profit from mining operations was $113,872, compared to an operating
loss of $377,191 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The
operating results from mining operations in 1999 included the
recovery of $181,087 of previously recorded impairment losses
related to the Harlan Coal Royalty and the San Pedro mine. The 1998
operating results from mining included a charge of $258,538 for
these impairment losses. The operating results from mining included
depreciation expense of $76,629 during the three months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to $75,714 during the three months
ended September 30, 1998.

$50,441, compared to $40,282 for the three months ended September

$3,346,091 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from

three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in costs for 1999 was attributable to a higher level of

Year 2000 Compliance
Background
In the past, many computers, software programs, and other
information technology ("IT systems"), as well as other equipment
relying on microprocessors or similar circuitry ("non-IT systems"),
were written or designed using two digits, rather than four, to
define the applicable year. As a result, date-sensitive systems
(both IT systems and non-IT systems) may recognize a date identified
with "00" as the year 1900, rather than the year 2000. This is
generally described as the Year 2000 issue. If this situation
occurs, the potential exists for system failures or miscalculations,
which could impact business operations.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has asked public
companies to disclose four general types of information related to
Year 2000 preparedness: the Company's state of readiness, costs,
risks, and contingency plans. See SEC Release No. 33-7558 (July 29,
1998). Accordingly, the Company has included the following
discussion in this report, in addition to the Year 2000 disclosures
previously filed with the SEC.
State of Readiness
The Company believes that it has identified all significant IT
systems and non-IT systems that require modification in connection
with Year 2000 issues. The Company has completed all material
modifications and testing of significant systems.
In addition, the Company has been communicating with customers,
suppliers, banks, vendors and others with whom it does significant
business (collectively, its "business partners") to determine their
Year 2000 readiness and the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to any other organization's Year 2000 issues. Based on
these communications and related responses, the Company is
monitoring the Year 2000 preparations and state of readiness of its
business partners. Although the Company is not aware of any
significant Year 2000 problems with its business partners, there can
be no guarantee that the systems of other organizations on which the
Company's systems rely will be converted in a timely manner, or that
a failure to convert by another organization, or a conversion that
is incompatible with the Company's systems, would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Costs
The total cost to the Company of Year 2000 activities is not material
to its financial position or results of operations. The total cost to
the Company of addressing Year 2000 issues will be less than $10,000.
Risks
The Company utilizes IT systems and non-IT systems in various
aspects of its business. Year 2000 problems in some of the
Company's systems could possibly disrupt operations, but the Company
does not expect that any such disruption would have a material
adverse impact on the Company's operating results.
The Company is also exposed to the risk that one or more of its
customers, suppliers or vendors could experience Year 2000 problems
that could impact the ability of such customers to transact business
or such suppliers or vendors to provide goods and services. Although
this risk is lessened by the availability of alternative suppliers,
the disruption of certain services, such as utilities, could,
depending upon the extent of the disruption, potentially have a
material adverse impact on the Company's operations.
Contingency Plans
The Company has developed contingency plans for the Company's IT
systems and non-IT systems requiring Year 2000 modification. In
addition, the Company has developed contingency plans to deal with
the possibility that some suppliers or vendors might fail to provide
goods and services on a timely basis as a result of Year 2000
problems. These contingency plans include the identification,
acquisition and/or preparation of backup systems, suppliers and
vendors.
