ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fenway International Inc.
Newport Beach, California
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Fenway International Inc. as
of June 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders equity and cash flows for the six months then ended and for the
period May 7, 1984 (Date of inception) to June 30, 1999, in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in
these financial statements is the representation of the management of Fenway
International Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 generally accepted accounting principles.

FENWAY INTERNATIONAL INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
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.
Name Change
On September 2, 1998, the Company changed its name from Nevada-Utah
Gold, Inc. to Fenway International Inc.
Authorized Common Stock
On May 7, 1984, the Company was incorporated with authorized common
stock of 25,000 shares with a par value of $1.00. On July 10, 1997,
the authorized common stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares with a
change in par value to $0.001.
On July 26, 1997, the Company completed a forward stock split of its
outstanding common stock of one share for thirty shares. The financial
statements have been prepared showing after stock split shares with a
par value of $0.001 from its inception.
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.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of six months
or less to be cash equivalents.
See Accompanying Notes and Accountants' Report.

FENWAY INTERNATIONAL INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
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 bases 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.
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 per
share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareowners by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings 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.
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 June 30, 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.
See Accompanying Notes and Accountants' Report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
NOTE 2 DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS
As of June 30, 1999, 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.
FAS-7 requires that all development costs be expensed during the
development period. The Company expensed $266,750 of development costs
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $674,134 from May 7, 1984
(date of inception) to June 30, 1999.

Overview. The Company has not had revenues from operations in the last fiscal
year and through the second quarter of 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Company
was in the development stage of operations, in that the Company was devoting
most of its activities to establishing a new business activity, specifically,
two cement processing facilities in the Philippines. The Company expensed
$266,750 of development costs for the six months ended June 30, 1999, in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 7 promulgated by the Financial
Accounting Foundation.
The Company's total assets as specified on its Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1999
consisted of cash in the amount of $2,035, a decrease from cash resources of
$11,583 at December 31, 1998. At June 30, 1999, the Company had accounts
receivable in the amount of $11,573, a decrease from the $12,234 in accounts
receivable at December 31, 1998. The loan receivable specified on the Company's
financial statements at December 31, 1998 of $85,211 has continued to accrue
interest during the six month period ended June 30, 1999 and that loan
receivable was in the amount of $88,011 at June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the
Company further recorded advance royalty payments of $160,813; prepaid expenses
of $3,633; investment in Palcan Mining and Cement Corporations of $705;
investments in projects in the Republic of the Philippines of $2,685,687; ; and
office equipment and computers valued by the auditor at $5,595. The Company's
balance sheet specified liabilities at June 30, 1999 totalling $292,525, which
consisted of accounts payable in the amount of $77,044 to third parties and
$69,140 to related parties; accrued liabilities of $13,001; and short term notes
payable of $133,340.
2
The cash and equivalents constitute the Company's present internal sources of
liquidity. Because the Company is not generating any revenues at this time from
its operations, the Company's only external source of liquidity is the sale of
its capital stock. The Company is attempting to acquire funding for both the
Palawan Project and the Negros Project from German financial institutions with
assistance from Marsson Industrial Corporation, which is the Philippine
affiliate of Krupp-Polysius, a German machinery manufacturing, engineering,
trading and financial services company. Krupp-Polysius has agreed to help the
Company arrange the export credits and the required loan guaranties for the $450
million total of loans required for both projects.
Company's Plan of Operation for Next 12 Months. The following information
specifies forward-looking statements of management of the Company.
Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future
events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will",
"could", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "probable", "possible", "should",
"continue", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those
terms. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Fenway International, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company") is continuing to develop commercial grade cement production
facilities in the Philippines.
The Company has not yet realized any revenue from operations and will not do so
within the next 12 months, as revenues are dependent upon the completion of
cement processing facilities which are currently under development. The
Company's 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 Negros
Oriental (the "Negros Project") and the Company is continuing its efforts to
obtain the necessary licensing, permits and environmental approvals for a
proposed facility on the island of Palawan (the "Palawan Project").
The Company presently anticipates that initial construction on the Palawan
Project will begin within the next 5 months, with production of cement beginning
in 2002. The Palawan Project, if completed pursuant to the Company's current
schedule, will be the only cement manufacturing facility on Palawan Island. The
Company anticipates that the Negros Project will consist of a cement producing
facility capable of producing 1.5 million tonnes per year of Portland cement
with expansion capacity to 3 million tonnes per year. The Company has solicited
and received bids for an exploratory drilling program, pursuant to which the
Company hopes to confirm the extent of limestone reserves on Negor Corporation's
Negros Oriental Province mineral claims in the central islands of the
Philippines. On June 9, 1999, the Company announced that it had signed a
contract with Roctest Machinery and Drilling Corporation to core drill 2,000
meters for test sampling of the limestone deposits at the Negros Project. The
core drilling will commence as soon as the Company obtains the necessary
regional work licenses and permits.
Discussions are currently in progress with several design-build groups to
construct and equip the Palawan plant. The Company is negotiating with
Krupps-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 Krupps-Polysius or
Bilfinger & Berger will provide equipment or services to the Company.
The Company has prepared the following schedule for completion of the Negros
Project and Palawan Project which includes forward looking statements which
estimate the happenings of future events. The actual occurrence of these events
may differ materially from those contemplated by this schedule.

6. Negotiate and execute 03/00-03/01 01/01-01/02
sales contracts
7. Complete plant construction and begin 03/02 12/02
cement production
The capital costs of the plants, including the construction of all facilities
such as power and ports, are estimated by the Company's engineering consultants
to be approximately $260 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% must be financed by equity investments.
The approximately $450 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 the Company in its loan
negotiations with these German banks. The Company anticipates that approximately
$190 million may be received from a registered offering of the Company's common
or preferred stock, probably through brokerage firms located in New York.
The Company is required to participate with local corporations in the
Philippines in order to commercially exploit Philippine mineral claims and,
therefore, the Company has acquired significant ownership interest in various
Philippine corporations. The organizational chart attached as Exhibit 21 to this
Registration Statement provides a diagram of the Company's relationships with
these entities.
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. The Company owns 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 the Company. Specifically, Herbert John
Wilson, President of the Company, is an incorporator and director of PMC. Arthur
Leonard Taylor, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a director of the
Company, is an incorporator and director of PMC. Rene E. Cristobel and Carlos A.
Fernandez, directors of the Company, are also incorporators and directors of
PMC. Rene E. Cristobel and Carlos Fernandez each hold 10% or more of the issued
and outstanding
4
capital stock of PMC. The Company owns approximately 90% of a second Philippine
corporation, Palcan Cement Company ("PCC"), which will own and operate the
Palawan cement plant and will be responsible for the marketing and distribution
of the Company's products.
The Company has 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 the Company's success and this ability is currently
unproven.
Products. The Company is not currently producing any products or supplying any
services to any third parties. When, and if, the Company develops and constructs
its cement manufacturing facilities, the Company anticipates 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 produce Portland cement. From the Palawan Project, the Company
anticipates producing 2.5 million metric tonnes of Portland cement per year.
The products of the Company may be subject to numerous foreign government
standards and regulations that are continually being amended. Although the
Company will endeavor to satisfy foreign technical and regulatory standards,
there can be no assurance that the products of the Company will comply with
foreign government standards and regulations, or changes thereto, or that it
will be cost effective for the Company to redesign its products to comply with
such standards or regulations. The inability of the Company to design or
redesign products to comply with foreign standards could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Marketing and Sales. The Company anticipates that all revenues from the sale of
the Company's products will be derived from customers located outside the United
States. To support its overseas customers, the Company anticipates operating
offices outside the continental United States. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to manage these operations effectively or that the
Company will be able to compete successfully in international markets or satisfy
the service and support requirements of its customers. In addition, a
significant portion of the Company's sales and operations are subject to
significant risks, including tariffs and other trade barriers, difficulties in
staffing and managing foreign subsidiary and branch operations, currency
exchange risks and exchange controls, potentially adverse tax consequences, and
the possibility of difficulty in accounts receivable collection. There can be no
assurance that any of these factors will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company anticipates that initially the Portland cement produced by the
Negros and Palawan Projects will be marketed exclusively in the Philippines,
with expanded capacity providing cement to foreign markets, such as Japan, South
Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam and Indonesia
(collectively, the "Target Countries"). Nearby Asian export markets for cement
products have a current volume exceeding 90 million tonnes per year moving in
trade. Entities that have previously taken most Philippine cement exports have
been countries bordering the South China Sea, those close to the Malacca Straits
and other countries in the South Asia Sub-Continent.
The strategy of the Company for growth is substantially dependent upon its
ability to market and distribute products successfully. Other companies,
including those with substantially greater financial, marketing and sales
resources, compete with the Company, and have the advantage of marketing
existing products with existing production and distribution facilities. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to market and
5
distribute products on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure of the Company to
market its products successfully could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial conditions or results of operations.
The Company anticipates that the construction industries in the Target Countries
will experience positive growth, ranging from modest growth expected for Japan,
to more significant growth anticipated in the lesser developed countries, such
as Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. The location of the Palawan
and the Negros Projects provides easy access to the Target Countries.
Raw Materials. For the Palawan Project, the Company has acquired mineral rights
to 13,496 hectares in three contiguous claims on the west central portion of the
Palawan Island near Scott Point. The claims are underlain by significant
reserves of limestone and shale, the two main ingredients for the manufacture of
Type I Portland cement. Chemical analysis by the Philippine Bureau of Mines and
Geosciences, Technical Services Division, indicates that the site of the Palawan
Project contains commercial quantities of these raw materials.
The Negor Corporation (in which the Company holds a 90% equity interest) has
mineral claims on the island of Negros Oriental in the Philippines, which
include significant reserves of limestone and shale suitable for the manufacture
of Portland cement. Limestone mineral claims lie near the coastal towns of
Guihulngan and La Libertad on the island of Negros Oriental. Geological studies
suggest that the raw resources on those claims could sustain significant cement
manufacturing operations. The Company has received an Environmental Compliance
Certificate and has entered into the Mineral Production Sharing Agreement
required by the Philippine government for all mining projects in the Philippines
before mining operations can proceed.
Distribution and Transportation of the Company's Products. Distribution in the
cement industry is typically conducted using agency contracts. The agent accepts
product in bulk or bagged from the plant at a specified price. The agent then
takes responsibility for marketing within the region(s) served; for transport
and delivery to customers; and for selling to large-volume customers, retailers
or intermediate wholesalers. The agent marks up the price to cover all costs of
distribution. The final price to consumers at retail accommodates markups as
appropriate in the distribution process. An allowance is included in the markup
applied at each step as profit for product handling and sale.
The Palawan plant will adopt the customary methods typically used in the
Philippines for distribution of cement products, with the following variations:
1. As the Palawan plant will ship to markets in different countries, not
one but several distribution agencies probably will be utilized.
2. Shipments of bagged or bulk product by truck will be for the emerging
market on Palawan.
3. Most products will be shipped from the Palawan plant in bulk by sea to
reach the Target Countries.
4. Transfer of Palawan product from vessels, bulk storage, bagging (as
needed)and distribution by truck will occur within regional markets in
the Target Countries.
5. Intra-regional transportation to customers will be minimized by the
locations of regional facilities for the receipt and handling of
Palawan plant products.
Costs of the first water crossing from Palawan to Philippine markets will be
less than typical costs associated with the transport of equivalent tonnage in
bulk by truck from competing plants. Overall, the Company believes
6
that the costs of product distribution to Philippine regional markets from the
new plant in Palawan pursuant to agency contracts will be equivalent to similar
costs for competing plants serving the same markets. If necessary to assure
entry to Philippine regional markets, all or part of the costs of the initial
water crossing can be absorbed at the Palawan plant by adjusting the price for
product placed to agents for distribution. Given the cost advantages of marine
transport, this will not be necessary as a general condition, but can be done
where and as needed in special situations.
The Palawan plant is ideally located for export of cement products to regional
markets in the Target Countries. Export sales will be developed and sustained
from the Palawan plant, as a means of broadening market presence, preserving
high utilization of plant assets and pursuing the best combination of available
customer relationships and opportunities for product sales and profits. Direct
relationships with large-volume customers and distribution relationships with
importers will be established in receptive countries, to assure that export
options remain available for the Palawan plant at all times.
The Company believes that it can provide its products to markets in the Target
Countries, subject to import barriers. Overt barriers have not been present in
the countries where Philippine cement has been accepted in the past, and import
duties in these and other locations continue to decline. Additional
liberalization of trade in East and South Asia may expand opportunities for
general acceptance of products from the Palawan plant. If necessary in
particular situations, entry may be eased by adjusting prices to absorb some of
the costs of marine transport and import costs. Although not necessary as a
general condition, some absorption of transport costs has been assumed to apply,
for purposes of project valuation, to all products shipped from Palawan.
Employees. The Company currently has eight full-time employees, three of whom
are salaried. Management of the Company anticipates using consultants for
business, accounting, engineering, and legal services on an as-needed basis.
Management has senior company experience in mine management, mineral processing,
engineering, construction, administration, and marketing. All members of
management have held senior positions in international companies or
organizations.
Employment Agreement. Employment agreements with H. John Wilson and A. Leonard
Taylor obligate the Company to pay those parties significant monthly payments
far in excess of the Company's present ability to pay. Mr. Wilson's employment
agreement requires the payment of $33,000 each month by the Company to Mr.
Wilson. Because this is far in excess of the Company's present ability to pay,
Mr. Wilson has agreed to accept payments of $3,250 per month until such time as
the Company's Board of Directors deems it appropriate to pay Mr. Wilson the full
amount of the compensation and benefits required pursuant to that employment
agreement. A true and correct copy of Mr. Wilson's employment agreement has been
previously filed as Exhibit 10.3 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB on August 13, 1999.
Mr. Taylor's employment agreement requires the payment of $25,000 each month by
the Company to Mr. Taylor. Because this is far in excess of the Company's
present ability to pay, Mr. Taylor has agreed to accept payments of $2,600 per
month until such time as the Company's Board of Directors deems it appropriate
to pay Mr. Taylor the full amount of the compensation and benefits required
pursuant to that employment agreement. A full and correct copy of Mr. Taylor's
employment agreement has been previously filed as Exhibit 10.4 to Amendment No.
1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB on August 13, 1999.
Employment agreements with R. George Muscroft and Laurie Maranda obligate the
Company to payments in excess of $16,000 by the Company each month to each
individual. As in the case of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Taylor, Mr. Muscroft has agreed
to accept payments of $3,250 each month and Mr. Maranda has agreed to accept
payments of $3,250 each month until such time as the Company's Board of
Directors deems it appropriate to pay Mr. Muscroft and Mr. Maranda the full
amount of the compensation and benefits required pursuant to those
7
employment agreements. A true and correct copy of Mr. Muscroft's employment
agreement has been previously filed as Exhibit 10.5 to Amendment No. 1 to the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB on August 13, 1999. A true and
correct copy of Mr. Muscroft's employment agreement has been previously filed as
Exhibit 10.5 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form
10- SB on August 13, 1999.
Competition. As a result of the lack of product differentiation and the
commodity nature of cement, the cement industry is quite competitive.
Competition is based generally on price and, to a lesser extent, quality and
service. The Company may compete with national, international and regional
cement producers in its target markets. Many of the Company's competitors are
larger and have significantly greater resources than the Company. The prices
that the Company charges its customers probably won't be materially different
from the prices charged by other cement producers in the same markets.
Accordingly, profitability in the cement industry is generally dependent on the
level of cement demand and on a cement producer's ability to contain operating
costs. Prices are subject to material changes in response to relatively minor
fluctuations in supply and demand, general economic conditions and other market
conditions beyond the Company's control. There can be no assurance that prices
will not decline in the future or that such declines will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
The Company's anticipated cost per tonne of production will be directly related
to the number of tonnes of cement manufactured; and decreases in production will
increase the Company's fixed cost per tonne. Equipment utilization percentages
can vary from year to year based upon demand for the Company's products or as a
result of equipment failure. Much of the Company's anticipated manufacturing
equipment requires significant time to replace and is very costly to replace or
repair. Although the Company will attempt to maintain sufficient spare parts to
avoid long periods of shutdown in the event of equipment failure, there can be
no assurance such shutdowns can be avoided.
Compliance with Environmental Laws. The proposed site for the Palawan Project is
near the ancestral lands of a Filipino indigenous people. These lands may
contain a portion of the Company's mineral claims. The risk of accidental
contamination or injury to indigenous peoples from hazardous materials cannot be
completely eliminated. In the event of such an accident, the Company, or any
successor-in-interest, could be held liable for any damages that result and any
such liability could exceed the financial resources of the Company. In addition,
there can be no assurance that in the future the Company will not be required to
incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations
relating to hazardous materials. There can be no assurance that the Company will
not be required to incur significant costs to comply with current or future
environmental laws and regulations nor that the operations, business or assets
of the Company will not be materially or adversely affected by current or future
environmental laws or regulations; provided, however, that the Company has
retained SNC Lavalin, a Canadian firm, and GAIA, Inc., a Philippine firm, to
prepare and file the requisite environmental impact statements necessary for the
Company to receive its Environmental Compliance Certificate for the Palawan
Project (an Environmental Compliance Certificate has already been issued for the
Negros Project).
The Company's management believes that both the Palawan Project and the Negros
Project can operate cleanly and without significant pollution in an
environmentally safe manner. However, certain environmental consequences
associated with mining are unavoidable. The primary environmental damage from
the mineral industry occurs during the extraction of raw materials, which
requires large amounts of water and energy. The Company believes that with the
utilization of modern technology and careful planning it can significantly
reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing of cement. As the Company
is not presently manufacturing any products, management of the Company believes
the Company will not have any significant material expenditures in the next
fiscal year related to the cost of compliance with applicable environmental
laws, rules and regulations. However, at some time in the future, the Company's
operations may involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. As a result,
the Company may be subject to various laws and regulations governing the use,
8
manufacture, storage, handling, and disposal of such materials and certain waste
products. The Company cannot presently estimate the potential costs of complying
with the applicable foreign environmental laws.
Cash Resources For Next 12 Months. As specified above, the Company believes its
current cash resources are not sufficient to complete the Company's planned
development and construction over the next 12 months and, therefore, the Company
will be required to raise significant additional funds, or arrange for
additional financing, over the next 12 months to adhere to its construction and
development schedule, which contemplates total expenditures of approximately
$710 million in the next three years. Such additional cash may be received from
additional public or private financings, as well as borrowings and other
resources. The Company's only known sources of capital are the proceeds from
this Offering, as the Company does not anticipate receiving cash from revenues
during the next 12 months. If adequate additional cash is not available, the
Company may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds
by entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may
require the Company to relinquish mineral or other claims that the Company would
not otherwise relinquish. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company
will have access to additional cash in the future, or that funds will be
available on acceptable terms to satisfy the cash requirements of the Company to
implement its business strategies. The inability of the Company to access cash
or obtain acceptable financing would have a significant material adverse effect
on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
Year 2000 Compliance. The Year 2000 (commonly referred to as "Y2K") issue
results from the fact that many computer programs were written using two, rather
than four, digits to identify the applicable year. As a result, computer
programs with time-sensitive software may recognize a two digit code for any
year in the next century as related to this century. For example, "00", entered
in a date-field for the year 2000, may be interpreted as the year 1900,
resulting in system failures or miscalculations and disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or
engage in other normal business activities.
To improve operating performance, the Company has undertaken a number of
significant systems initiatives, including a comprehensive review of the
hardware, software and communication systems owned by or supplied to the
Company. These have been analyzed by reviewing all relevant product and service
manuals, contacting vendors, and on-line research of relevant vendor websites.
The Company believes that all of its computer systems are Year 2000 compliant.
The Company (i) has completed an assessment of each of its operations and their
Year 2000 readiness, (ii) has determined that appropriate actions have been and
are being taken, and (iii) believes that it has completed its overall Year 2000
remediation prior to any anticipated impact on its operations. The Company has
determined that the Year 2000 issue will not cause significant operational
problems for its computer systems, and the costs of required modifications to
its computer systems will not be material to the Company's financial position,
cash flows or results of operations. However, although the Company believes its
computer systems are compliant, the Company has been unable to determine the
extent to which the Company's computer systems are vulnerable to the failure of
third parties to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. There is no guarantee
that the computer systems of other companies on which the Company's computer
system relies or interfaces will be converted and will not have an adverse
effect on the Company's computer system.
In a worst case situation, the Company's business operations could be adversely
affected by the non-compliance of banks, communications providers, utilities,
common carriers, the Company's customers, potential customers, suppliers, and
other sources known and unknown to the Company. Widespread breakdowns in the
telecommunications, banking, and computer industries would have an adverse
effect on business operations globally, including the Company's operations. The
ultimate impact of the Y2K issue cannot be reasonably estimated as of the date
of this Registration Statement. Many Y2K problems might not be readily apparent
when they first occur, but instead could imperceptibly degrade technology
systems and corrupt information stored in computerized databases, in some cases
before January 1, 2000.

Item 5. Other Information
In August, 1998, the Company's former accountants, the firm of Anderson,
Anderson & Strong ("Anderson") were dismissed. Anderson's reports on the
financial statements for either of the past two (2) years did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and the reports were not modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principals. The decision to change
accountants was recommended and approved by the Board of Directors and did not
result from any disagreement regarding the Company's policies or procedures.
There have been no disagreements with the Company's accountants since the
formation of the Company. In August, 1998, a new accountant, Moffitt & Company,
PC was engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Company's financial
statements.
On August 3, 1999, the Company announced the signing of a Financial Agency
Agreement with First Access Financial Group, Inc., international investment
bankers ("First Access"). First Access has represented to the Company that it
has clients interested in providing funding to the Company's Philippine cement
projects. The Financial Agency Agreement between the Company and First Access is
not exclusive and the Company is currently negotiating with other parties to
finance the Company's proposed commercial grade cement production facilities in
the Philippines.
