NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF INTERIM PERIOD STATEMENTS:
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been presented by
Emex Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
note disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management,
the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from such estimates
and assumptions. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2000
Annual Report on Form 10KSB pages F-1 to F-20. The results of operations for an
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a
full year.
The Company was incorporated under the name of Burton-Hawks, Inc. on March 19,
1971, and through mid-1986 was solely engaged in the business of oil and gas
exploration, development and production, and conducted its operations primarily
in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Commencing in 1986, due to
market conditions in the oil and gas industry, the Company commenced a program
of diversification. In October 1988 the name of the Company was changed to Hawks
Industries, Inc.
Since September 2000 the business of the Company has been carried on principally
through two divisions, namely, the Company's Lands Division, which is engaged
primarily, through subsidiaries, in exploration for and development of gold and
other metal and mineral resources in Alaska, and the Company's Technologies
Division, which is primarily engaged, through a subsidiary, in the development
of environmentally friendly technologies related to the conversion of natural
gas into liquid fuels, specialty chemicals and waxes and other products, with
co-generation of electricity and production of potable water as additional
results of the process. In addition, the Company continues to hold working
interests in several oil and gas properties. In February 2001 the Company's name
was changed to Emex Corporation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Common Stock Issued and Outstanding and Loss Per Share
The Company uses the weighted average number of shares outstanding in
calculating loss per share data. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on form
10KSB, Note 2 for the computation of weighted number of shares outstanding.
There were no common stock equivalents for any of the periods presented.
Stockholders' Equity as of December 31, 2000 and Earnings per share for the
periods presented have been restated to give effect of the 1,169,963 stock
dividend effective May 18, 2001.

EMEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Risks and Uncertainties
Mining Activities
The Company is currently exploring for minerals and has yet to exercise any
options to lease prospects. The Company has therefore not produced any revenues
since inception and there can be no assurance that revenues will be generated
during the next twelve months.
The Company's operations will be significantly affected by the market price of
gold. Gold prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors that
are beyond the Company's control. A further sustained period of low gold prices
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations and its ability to raise additional financing.
Energy Technology
The Company is currently researching to develop new approaches for natural gas
utilization and has yet to generate any revenues from this research since
inception. There can be no assurance that revenues will be generated during the
next twelve months.
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
Historically, the market for oil and natural gas has experienced significant
price fluctuations. Prices for oil and natural gas in the Rocky Mountain region
have been particularly volatile in recent years. The price fluctuations can
result from variations in weather, levels of regional or national production,
availability of transportation capacity to other regions of the country and
various other factors. Increases or decreases in prices received could have a
significant impact on future results.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY ACTIVITY
At June 30 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had advances from Equistar
totaling $1,548,000 and $1,549,000 respectively. The advances accrue interest at
7% per annum and are due to be repaid on July 31, 2002.
Accrued interest on the advances totaled $124,000 and $70,000 at June 30 2001
and December 31, 2000, respectively. Interest expense on advances were $54,000
and $361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively.

EMEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Hawks Industries, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY ACTIVITY (continued)
The Company's funding agreement with Equistar expired on March 31, 2001.
Subsequent thereto, the Company received written confirmation from Universal
Equities Consolidated LLC, and Thorn Tree Resources, L.L.C.,major shareholders
of the company, that they were prepared to furnish the necessary bridge funding
referred to in the management discussion and analysis and plan of operation in
the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 2000. Emex Corporation's
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued support of
the kind or obtaining an alternative source of financing. As part of the bridge
financing, during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company received loan
proceeds in the amount of $1,085,000 from Thorn Tree Resources and $200,000 from
Universal Equities. These loans accrue interest at 7% per annum and are due to
be repaid on July 31, 2002. Prior to maturity, these loans can be converted at
the lender's election, into shares of common stock, at the rate of one share of
common stock for each ten dollars of the loan principal.
Accrued interest and interest expense as of June 30, 2001 for these loans
totaled $5,000 to Thorn Tree Resources, L.L.C. and $2,000 to Universal Equities
Consolidates, LLC.
The Company's corporate offices in New York City are occupied under a use and
occupancy agreement with Equistar Consolidated Holdings, LLC, a company owned
indirectly by the principals of Universal Equities Consolidated, LLC and Thorn
Tree Resources, L.L.C., the Company's major stockholders. Under the terms of the
agreement, payments of rent are made directly by the Company to the Landlord and
no payments are made to Equistar.
The Company's secretary, Stuart G. Schwartz, is counsel to the Company. He
received legal fees from the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 in the amount $47,000 and $33,000 respectively.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Doyon Agreement
On May 27, 1997, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement")
with Doyon Limited ("Doyon") with respect to certain lands in Alaska. The
Agreement provides the Company with the exclusive right to explore for minerals
until January 1, 2002, to lease prospects identified thereon, and to develop and
produce minerals pursuant to such leases. The optioned lands encompass
approximately seven million acres comprised of 24 individually named blocks,
plus additional rights to surrounding lands within areas of interest. The
Agreement requires the Company to spend $9 million over the life of the
Agreement, with minimum commitments per year and with specific minimum
expenditures per block. Exploration expenditures in excess of the minimum amount
may be carried forward and credited to expenditure requirements for future years
with certain limitations. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had spent over $8
million of the $9 million required to be spent over the life of the agreement.

EMEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Hawks Industries, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
At any time during the agreement term, the Company may, if it has conducted a
specified minimum amount of drilling, made a specified minimum amount of
exploration expenditures and received a positive pre-feasibility study with
respect to a particular mineral area, exercise its option to lease that area for
mineral development for a specified initial term. If the Company achieves
commercial production during the initial term, the lease will continue as long
as there is commercial production. The Company may obtain leases on an unlimited
number of areas currently owned by Doyon, and on areas from lands selected by
Doyon pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, but not yet conveyed
to Doyon.
Each mining lease will provide for an annual payment to Doyon commencing upon
the execution of the lease of a specified amount per acre leased, but not less
than a specified annual minimum total, until a feasibility study is delivered to
Doyon. If a feasibility study is not delivered to Doyon before the fifth
anniversary of the execution of the lease, the annual per acre and minimum total
amounts increase. The Company must also incur minimum expenditures until the
feasibility study is delivered to Doyon. Starting on the date of submittal of a
feasibility study, North Star is required to pay Doyon a yearly advance royalty,
which is larger than the annual minimum total that was payable prior to
feasibility, and which is recoupable out of 50% of future royalties. From
commencement of commercial production the Company is required to pay Doyon the
larger of a specified percentage royalty of net Smelter returns or a specified
percentage of net profits, until payback, and the larger of an increased
percentage royalty of net Smelter returns or an increased percentage of net
profits, after payback. Doyon reserves the right to buy a fractional portion of
the equity in a project after deliverance of a positive feasibility study.
During the period reported on, the Company has paid $300,000 to Doyon, Limited
("Doyon") for the option payment referred to in the Company's report on Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, and the Company has continued its
negotiations with Doyon with a view to modify the option agreement to eliminate
certain technical non-compliances by the Company and so as to extend the
agreement's term for an additional three years beyond its present expiration
date, which is January 31, 2002. Subsequent to the end of the period reported
on, additional communications have been received from Doyon which mention the
necessity of making certain payments for exploration activities and incurring
required exploration expenditures as a condition of continuation of North Star's
rights.
At June 30, 2001 the Company's required exploration expenditures commitment
under the Agreement is approximately $1,000,000 through January 31, 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
Legal Actions
Three class actions have been instituted against the Company in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York by stockholders who
allegedly purchased shares during a portion of the period reported on and who
claim they were induced to do so by a press release issued by the Company
concerning the project financing for the Blue Star natural gas conversion plant.
The amount of damages sought is not set forth in any of the complaints. The
factual basis for each of the actions is a claim that the press release in
question over- stated the role of a company known as Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation in the matter and was therefore false and misleading. The Company
believes that the claim is without merit and intends to resist it vigorously.
Environmental Compliance
The Company's management believes that it is in compliance with environmental
laws and regulations as currently enacted. The Company's management has filed
all necessary permits to fulfill current environmental compliance requirements.
However, the exact nature of environmental compliance, which the Company may be
exposed to in the future, cannot be predicted. This is primarily due to the
increasing number, complexity and changing character of environmental
requirements that may be enacted by federal and state authorities. Provisions
for reclamation will be made when mining begins.
Bridge Financing
The Company funding agreement with Equistar expired on March 31, 2001.
Subsequent thereto, the Company received written confirmation from Universal
Equities Consolidated LLC, and Thorn Tree Resources, L.L.C. major shareholders
of the Company, that they were prepared to furnish the necessary bridge funding
referred to in the management discussion and analysis and plan of operation in
the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. Emex
Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued
support of that kind or obtaining an alternative source of financing.

EMEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Hawks Industries, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
This report on Form 10-QSB includes "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical
fact included in this report on Form 10-QSB are forward-looking statements.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are
disclosed in this report on Form 10-QSB, including without limitation in
conjunction with the forward-looking statements contained in this report on Form
10-QSB.
The principal changes in the Company's financial condition from the end of the
preceding fiscal year to the date of its June 30,2001 balance sheet, i.e. a
reduction of $2,065,000 in its cash on hand and an increase of $1,243,000 in
current liabilities, are primarily due to the Company's two principal divisions,
namely, its Lands Division and its Technology Division, still being in,
respectively, the exploration and development stages, as a result or which both
of those divisions have yet to generate material revenues.
As compared with the corresponding fiscal year-to-date period of the preceding
fiscal year, the $1,821,000 increase in losses from continuing operations for
the six months period ended June 30, 2001 was due primarily to increases of
$1,001,000 in exploration expensed, $388,000 in research and development
expense, $670,000 in general and administrative expense and $89,000 in
depreciation, depletion and amortization, which were partially offset by a
decrease of $305,000 in net interest expense. As compared with the corresponding
quarter of the preceding fiscal year, the $1,495,000 increase in losses from
continuing operations for the three months period ended June 30, 2001 was due
primarily to increases of $868,000 in exploration expense, $164,000 in research
and development expense $408,000 in general and administrative expense and
$47,000 in depreciation, depletion and amortization, which were partially offset
by a decrease of $153,000 in net interest expense.
In order to obtain funds for operations, the Company borrowed funds from its two
major shareholders, Thorn Tree Resources, L.L.C. and Universal Consolidated
Equities, LLC. amounting to approximately $1,285,000 during the period reported
on. Thorn Tree has continued to lend the Company funds for operations since the
end of the period reported on and, during July and August 2001, has advanced
more than $1,390,000 in addition to the amounts referred to above.
During the period reported on, the Company paid $300,000 to Doyon, Limited
("Doyon") for the option payment referred to in the Company's reports on Form
10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000 and on Form 10-QSB for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001. Subsequent to the
9
EMEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly Hawks Industries, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
end of the period reported on, Doyon has called upon the Company to make
payments for certain exploration activities and to incur additional exploration
expenditures required by the agreement between the Company and Doyon in order to
avoid termination for default. The Company will need additional loans in order
to be able to comply with those requests and preserve its rights under the
agreement.
For purposes of more permanent financing for operations, the Company is actively
engaged in negotiations for a private placement of capital stock which it is
hoped will be completed this year. In addition, the public rights offering
referred to in the Company's previous report on Form 10-QSB is believed to be a
potential source of additional capital if and when market and price conditions
improve. The Company's agreement with a financial institution to provide
project financing for the Blue Star natural gas conversion plant is still in
place and, as previously stated, is expected to proceed when a marketing
structure and marketing arrangements are completed. Progress has been made in
that regard, although not as rapidly as was anticipated, and the Company now
believes that matters will be sufficiently advanced to enable the proposed
syndication of the project financing to move forward in the autumn. There can be
no assurance that such private placement, reports offering or project financing
will be consummated.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Three purported class actions have been instituted against the Company in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by
stockholders who allegedly purchased shares during a portion of the period
reported on and who claim they were induced to do so by a press release issued
by the Company concerning the project financing for the Blue Star natural gas
conversion plant The lawsuits are captioned as follows: Masters v Emex
Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 01-CV-4886, Carlin v Emex Corporation, et
al., Civil Action No. 01-CV-5060, and Martin v. Emex Corporation, et al., Civil
Action No. 01-CV-6255. The amount of damages sought is not set forth in any of
the complaints. The factual basis for each of the actions is claim that the
press release in question over- stated the role of a company known as Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation in the matter and was therefore false and
misleading. The Company believes that the claim is without merit and intends to
resist it vigorously.
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
A report on form 8-k was filed for the month of May 2001 in which the Company
reported the making of $425,000 of the loans from Thorn Tree and Universal
referred to above.
