FENWAY INTERNATIONAL INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May
7, 1984 for the primary purpose of developing mineral properties. During
1985, the Company abandoned its remaining assets and settled its
liabilities and was inactive until 1998. In 1998, the Company became active
again by acquiring mineral properties in the Republic of the Philippines
and is currently engaged in the development of these properties.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements
are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and
repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of respective assets, are
expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the assets and related depreciation accounts are relieved of
the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are
credited or charged to income.
The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting
purposes using the accelerated methods based upon an estimated useful life
of five years.
Accounting Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the
estimates that were used.
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for
the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the
amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial
statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the
financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to
the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to
be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rate are enacted, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
See Accompanying Notes and Independent Accountants' Reports.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Compensated Absences
Employees of the corporation are entitled to paid vacations, sick days and
other time off depending on job classification, length of service and other
factors. It is impractical to estimate the amount of compensation for
future absences, and accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements. The corporation's policy is to recognize
the costs of compensated absences when paid to employees.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common shareowners by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net loss
per share are excluded.
Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has financial instruments, none of which are held for trading
purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial
instruments at September 30, 2000 and 1999 as defined in FASB 107, does not
differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of its financial
instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgement
is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair
value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the
amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of," requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
asset in question may not be recoverable. This standard did not have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or
financial position.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
International Currency Translation
For translation of its international currencies, the Company has determined
that the local currencies of its international subsidiaries are the
functional currencies. The assets and liabilities of the company's foreign
operations are generally translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange
rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the date the revenue or
expense is incurred.
NOTE 2 DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 2000, the Company was in the development stage of
operations. According to the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the
Financial Accounting Foundation, a development stage Company is defined as
a company that devotes most of its activities to establishing a new
business activity. In addition, planned principle activities have not
commenced, or have commenced and have not yet produced significant revenue.
The Company expensed $509,483 and $398,503 of development costs for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $1,540,063
from May 7, 1984 (date of inception) to September 30, 2000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of
management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that
estimate the happening of future events and not based on historical fact.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology, such as "may", "shall", "will", "could", "expect", "estimate",
"anticipate", "predict", "probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or
similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The
forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been
compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and
considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results,
however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty
is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in
the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject
to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and
other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data
and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from
and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the
extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially
from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed
on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be
given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements
specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation
to update any such forward-looking statements.
The financial projections in this report have been prepared to us and are based
on certain assumptions regarding future operations. The projections are an
estimate only, based on certain assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate and
which are subject to future conditions over which we may have no control. There
is absolutely no assurance that we will experience the operating results
depicted in the financial projections.
The financial projections were prepared by our management and have not been
examined or complied by independent certified public accountants or our legal
counsel. The accountants and legal counsel have not participated in the
preparation or review of the financial projections. Accordingly, our legal
counsel and accountants cannot provide any level of assurance on them.
Our Business. We plan to develop and construct two large commercial grade cement
production facilities in the Philippines. Our predecessor-in-interest, Fenway
Resources, Ltd., spent more than five years obtaining the necessary licensing,
permits and environmental approvals necessary to support construction of such
facilities on the island of Palawan (the "Palawan Project"). The necessary
permits and environmental approvals for a proposed facility on the island of
Negros Oriental (the "Negros Project") have already been received. We are
required to participate with local corporations in the Philippines in order to
commercially exploit Philippine mineral claims and, therefore, we have
incorporated two Philippine corporations. The organizational chart attached as
Exhibit 21 to our Registration Statement on Form 10-SB filed with the Commission
on March 8, 1999 provides a diagram of our relationships with these entities,
which are specified in detail below.
The Negros Project. On or about July 16, 1998, we entered into an option
agreement ("Option Agreement") with Negor RR Cement Corporation, an independent
Philippine corporation, for the purpose of forming and operating a Negros mining
company ("NMC") and a Negros cement manufacturing company ("NCC"). Pursuant to
the Option Agreement, we purchased a 90% equity interest in the Negor RR Cement
Corporation, a Philippine corporation ("Negor Corporation").
The details of the Option Agreement are as follows:
A. For a period of four (4) years following the date of acceptance by us
of a commercial feasibility study and report for the Negros Project,
which study and report are sufficient to enable us to obtain any and
all funds necessary or appropriate to finance the development and
operation of the Negros Project, Negor Corporation has the option to
acquire that number of shares of our $.001 par value common stock
equal to the lesser of (a) two million (2,000,000), or (b) ten percent
(10%) of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock,
at a purchase price of Five Dollars ($5.00) per share.
25
B. NMC shall prepare, sign and deliver to Negor Corporation any and all
documents and other instruments necessary or appropriate to vest in
Negor Corporation an ownership interest in NMC equal to forty percent
(40%) of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of NMC. As a
result of such ownership interest, Negor Corporation shall be entitled
to have allocated to it forty percent (40%) of the net profits, losses
and credits of NMC.
C. NMC shall prepare, sign and deliver to us any and all documents and
other instruments necessary or appropriate to vest in us an ownership
interest in NMC equal to forty percent (40%) of the total issued and
outstanding capital stock of NMC. As a result of such ownership
interest, we shall be entitled to have allocated to us forty percent
(40%) of the net profits, losses and credits of NMC.
D. NCC shall prepare, sign and deliver to Negor Corporation any and all
documents and other instruments necessary or appropriate to vest in
Negor Corporation an ownership interest in NCC equal to ten percent
(10%) of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of NMC. As a
result of such ownership interest, Negor shall be entitled to have
allocated to it ten percent (10%) of the net profits, losses and
credits of NCC. NCC shall prepare, sign and deliver to us any and all
documents and other instruments necessary or appropriate to vest in us
an ownership interest in NCC equal to ninety percent (90%) of the
total issued and outstanding capital stock of NMC. As a result of such
ownership interest, we shall be entitled to have allocated to it
ninety percent (90%) of the net profits, losses and credits of NCC.
E. NMC shall prepare, sign and deliver to one or more third party
investors any and all documents and other instruments necessary or
appropriate to vest collectively in those third party investors an
ownership interest in NCC equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total
issued and outstanding capital stock of NMC. As a result of such
ownership interest, those third party investors shall be entitled to
have allocated to them, in the aggregate, twenty percent (20%) of the
net profits, losses and credits of NCC.
F. We paid Negor Corporation Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) at the date
of signing of the Option Agreement and Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) on or prior to September 30, 1998, as specified in the
Option Agreement.
At such time as all feasibility studies and similar studies and reports which
are necessary or appropriate for the construction and operation of the
manufacturing facilities (and which will be required prior to the receipt of the
funds to finance construction of the manufacturing facilities) are completed,
NMC has agreed to pay to Negor One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) which funds
may be contributions to capital and proceeds from one or more borrowing
transactions, or either of them. In connection with any and all such borrowing
transactions, the acquired claims may be utilized as collateral or otherwise be
pledged to enhance the credit of the borrower.
The development program for the Negros Oriental Project will be similar to that
for Palawan, except for the power plant. As there is already a source of power
supply available in Negros Oriental, the cement plant will only require an
electrical distribution system, which, we believe, will reduce capital costs by
$40 million.
We believe that the development of the Negros Oriental cement plant will be
approximately one year after the start of the Palawan cement project. During
this one year period, work will be undertaken to upgrade the original
environmental studies, bring the engineering reports to bankable standards, to
drill and test the limestone deposits, and to obtain land for the plant site.
The Palawan Project. The Palawan Project has been under development by us for
more than five years in association with local Philippine mining and development
interests. Our predecessor company, Fenway Resources Ltd., a British Columbia
corporation, acquired mineral rights to 10,296 hectares in 1992 and 3,200
hectares in 1995 in three (3) contiguous claim blocks on the west central
portion of Palawan Island near Scott Point, Municipality of Sofronio Espanola,
Palawan, Philippines. Explorations by the Philippine government first confirmed
the existence of limestone deposits in the central part of Palawan. We retained
Kilborn Engineering Pacific Ltd., now known as Kilborn-SNC Lavalin Inc., to
prepare a project feasibility study which was completed in 1995. This study
concluded our claims have
26
significant resources of limestone and shale, the two main ingredients for the
manufacture of Portland Cement, and that a cement plant and quarries can be
developed in full compliance with environmental regulations in the Philippines
and should not have any adverse effect on local communities or indigenous
people.
As required by the Philippine Government, formal application for the final
environmental certification of the Palawan Project will be submitted to the
Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources after receipt of the
Mineral Production Sharing Agreement, which is currently under departmental
review.
In addition, we have conducted professional hearings and discussions with all
levels of government, with indigenous leaders, and with local landowners who
might be affected by the Palawan Project. The project in production will
stimulate local economic development and employment and we have received strong
local support for the Palawan Project as evidenced by the Palawan Council for
Sustainable Development endorsement of the environmental compliance certificate
and letters of recommendation from local government units and endorsement of the
project from indigenous people as evidenced by the National Commission on
Indigenous Peoples' Certificate.
Commercial law in effect on Palawan Island requires the participation of local
entities to exploit the island's mineral resources. Two local corporations have
been created and formally registered in compliance with local commercial law and
securities regulation. We own approximately 40% of Palcan Mining Company ("PMC")
which will be responsible for the quarry properties and the production of
crushed stone, both graded and blended, for cement plant processing operations.
PMC will also be responsible for payments of royalties and fees based on the
volumes of quarried stone extracted for cement production. PMC was incorporated
in the Republic of the Philippines on August 13, 1998, and has several common
directors with us.
We have also continued to assess the market acceptance for products of the
proposed Palawan plant within the Philippines and in export markets. The ability
to produce cement of high quality and reliable uniformity from local materials
is essential to our success and this ability is currently unproven.
Discussions are currently in progress with several design-build groups to
construct and equip the Palawan plant. We are negotiating with Krupp Polysius to
provide the cement plant equipment and with Bilfinger + Berger to engineer and
construct the Palawan Project. These negotiations have not been concluded and
there can be no assurance that either Krupp Polysius or Bilfinger + Berger will
provide equipment or services to us.
The capital costs of the plants, including the construction of all facilities
such as power and ports, are estimated by our engineering consultants to be
approximately $340 million for the Negros Project and approximately $380 million
for the Palawan Project. To conform to investment guidelines promulgated by the
Philippine government, 70% of those capital costs must be financed by loans,
including export credits, and 30% can be financed by equity investments.
The approximately $500 million required in loans may be provided by a consortium
of German banks. Krupp-Polysius, one of the world's largest corporations,
anticipates supplying the cement plant equipment to both the Negros Project and
the Palawan Project and has offered to assist us in its loan negotiations with
these German banks. We anticipate that approximately $215 million may be
received from a registered offering of our common or preferred stock, probably
through brokerage firms located in New York, complemented by one or more private
placements of our common stock. In addition, approximately $110 million may be
provided by contractors for the quarry and power plant which will reduce
Fenway's need for equity financing.
Products. We are not currently producing any products or supplying any services
to any third parties. However, we are currently negotiating contracts to supply
cement to our customers from other cement suppliers in order to create markets
for our production as well as cash flow prior to start up. When, and if, we
develop and construct our cement manufacturing facilities, we anticipate
producing commercial quantities of Portland cement. Portland cement is a finely
ground processed material that, when mixed with sand, gravel, water and other
minerals, forms concrete. The raw materials, limestone and shale, are mined,
crushed, and burned in high-temperature rotary kilns, producing a substance
commonly referred to as "clinker". The resulting clinker is then finely ground
with small amounts of gypsum to
27
produce Portland cement. From the Palawan Project, we anticipate producing 2.5
million metric tonnes of Portland cement per year.
Our products may be subject to numerous foreign government standards and
regulations that are continually being amended. Although we will endeavor to
satisfy foreign technical and regulatory standards, there can be no assurance
that our products will comply with foreign government standards and regulations,
or changes thereto, or that it will be cost effective for us to redesign our
products to comply with such standards or regulations. Our inability to design
or redesign products to comply with foreign standards could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Results of Operations. We have not yet realized any revenue from operations, as
our cement manufacturing facilities are presently in the development stage.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. At September 30, 2000, we had cash resources of
$2,869 and a loan receivable of $99,356. The cash and equivalents constitute our
present internal sources of liquidity. Because we are not generating any
revenues at this time from our operations, our only external source of liquidity
is the sale of our capital stock. We are attempting to acquire funding for both
the Palawan Project and the Negros Project from German financial institutions
with assistance from Krupp-Polysius, a German machinery manufacturing,
engineering, trading and financial services company. Krupp-Polysius has agreed
to help us arrange the export credits and the required loan guaranties for the
loans required for both projects.
Our Plan of Operation For Next 12 Months. Based on current discussions, we
presently anticipate that the necessary financing for the Palawan Project will
be secured during the last quarter of 2000, which will allow us to begin our
preliminary engineering programs during the fourth quarter and initiate
construction in the first quarter of 2001. Emphasis will be initially on
completing the port site which is necessary to enable supplies and materials to
be delivered for construction of the plant.
The Palawan Project will be the only cement manufacturing facility on the island
of Palawan. We anticipate that the facility will have an initial production
capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year with expansion capability to ten to
twelve million tonnes per year. Negotiations with potential suppliers indicate
that the port site and power plants could be provided on a BOT basis which, we
believe, would reduce our financing costs by approximately $90 million. In
addition, as a result of our discussions with Krupp-Polysius, we would take
delivery of the manufacturing equipment earlier than expected, thus advancing
our start-up date by up to six months.
Our development schedule contemplates that cement plant construction will
commence in the second quarter of 2001 after completion of the initial design
engineering and construction of the port facilities. We anticipate that all
facilities will be constructed by the end of 2002 and full production should
begin in the first quarter of 2003. When direct project development and
construction is in progress, we anticipate that other activities will commence
including environmental requirements and community related initiatives. We
believe that the cement plant will provide economic growth for the southern part
of Palawan and we will be actively involved in developing beneficial programs to
assist the local and indigenous people.
The Negros Oriental Project will consist of a cement plant of 1.5 million tonnes
per year capacity with expansion capability to 3 million tonnes per year. We
anticipate that the Negros Oriental Project will basically duplicate the Palawan
development program and development will commence one year after construction
begins at Palawan.
We have solicited and received bids for an exploratory drilling program to
confirm the full extent of the limestone reserves on Negor Corporation's Negros
Oriental Province mineral claims. On June 9, 1999, we announced that we had
signed a contract with Roctest Machinery and Drilling Corporation to core drill
2,000 meters for test sampling of the limestone deposits for the Negros Project
and we anticipate that the drilling will commence as soon as the necessary
regional work permits are received.
28
Our success is dependent upon our ability to secure the necessary financing.
Through the efforts of Krupp-Polysius and Belfinger + Berger, we have received a
letter of interests from German banks to provide all of the export credit and
loan funding. We are currently conducting negotiations for all of the equity
requirements which we believe will be completed in the last quarter of 2000. We
may also obtain financing from the individual contractors for the port, power
and quarry facilities which would reduce our overall financing needs.
If we do not obtain adequate financing, we may need to delay the program or to
enter into arrangements with other companies interested in developing cement
plants in the Philippines.
