                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Magnum Resources, Inc. (`the Company') and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
These statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company, and notes
thereto, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996. The following information
reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period
results. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for the year as a whole.

USE OF ESTIMATES
Preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from estimates
used by management.

LITIGATION
The Company was named as an additional defendant in a matter regarding the death
of an individual using a skidsteer loader allegedly built by Hydra-Mac Inc., a
former subsidiary. Management believes it's too early in the litigation process
to express an opinion as to the outcome of the legal action.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is effective for
financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new
standard is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted
earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The
Company has not yet determined what impact this statement will have on the
Company's financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997 presentation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about April 17, 1997, the Company brought a Motion for Summary Judgment
which is scheduled to be heard by the Court on May 6, 1997 in the matter of the
Estate of Timothy Peterson v. Heinen Mercantile Company, et al., Hennepin County
District Court, State of Minnesota, Case No. 96-001660 (the Peterson
Litigation"). The purpose of this Motion is to have the Court dismiss all claims
against the Company. The Peterson Litigation was commenced in January of 1996
when the Estate of Timothy Peterson (the Estate) brought a wrongful death action
against Heinen Mercantile Company ("Heinen"), the dealer of the skid steer
loader (the "Loader") alleged to have caused the death of Mr. Peterson. The
Estate is seeking damages in the Peterson Litigation in an unspecified amount in
excess of $50,000. Heinen had allegedly sold the Loader to Mr. Peterson and
subsequently serviced it. Heinen, in March 1996, brought a claim for
contribution and indemnity against Gehl Company ("Gehl") claiming that Gehl
negligently developed, manufactured and marketed the Loader. In June and July of
1996, respectively, Gehl and Heinen asserted a claim for contribution and
indemnity against the Company and the Company's former subsidiary Hydra-Mac,
Inc., claiming such corporations were liable for designing a defective Loader.
The Company asked for summary judgment because it no longer owns Hydra-Mac, Inc.
and Magnum Resources, Inc. is a holding corporation which simply acquired
Hydra-Mac, Inc. stock and never designed or manufactured anything.

In May of 1997, the Estate brought direct claims for negligence against all
Third and Fourth party Defendants, including the Company. The trial court
initially dismissed the Company's motion as premature, but allowed the Company
the opportunity to reassert its Motion for Summary Judgment. The Company again
moved the court for Summary Judgment as to all claims asserted against it and
this Motion is currently pending. In May of 1997, Gehl also served the Company's
subsidiary, Hydra-Mac International, Inc. with a Third Party Complaint, and
Hydra-Mac International, Inc. has also brought a motion to dismiss this Third
Party Complaint which is currently pending. The Peterson Litigation is scheduled
to go to trial in July of 1997. As is almost always the case with litigation,
the Company cannot predict the outcome should this case go to trial.
Furthermore, because Magnum Resources, Inc. does not manufacture products, it
does not have product liability insurance coverage for the Peterson Litigation.
