Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have not been
audited. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim financial
statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods. These adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The financial statements, prepared in accordance with the regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for
the full year.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of'
was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in March 1995.
SFAS No. 121 requires, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, that
an entity review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable and that an impairment loss be recognized as the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1996. The adoption did not have an
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,' ("SFAS No. 1231 was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board in October 1995. SFAS No. 123 establishes, for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995, financial and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, the
adoption of a fair-value-based method of accounting for such plans, in place of
current accounting standards. Companies electing to continue their existing
accounting method must make pro forma disclosures of net income as if the fair-
value-based method of accounting had been applied. The Company has elected to
continue with its existing accounting method and in accordance with SFAS No.
123, will have pro forma disclosures of net income in its financial statements
for the year ending December 31, 1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The company has focused its efforts on bringing the Los Coloradas mine into
production in Mexico, and getting the Morning Star Mine ready to resume
production by the end of the year. Due to the letter of understanding with
Guardian Enterprises Ltd. and Consolidated Viscount Ltd. the company has not
entered into any other agreements with other parties on the La Sierra
Concession. The company made the second payment on the La Sierra Concession in
the first Quarter and has one remaining payment due June 27, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Comparison of three months ended March 31, 1996 to three months ended
March 31, 1995:
The Company realized a net loss of $63,000 ($0.002 per share) for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 which is $174,000 less than the $237,000 ($0.01 per
share) net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The quarterly loss
for 1995 reflect that the Company was concentrating on reclamation and
remediation activities at the Morning Star Mine ("Mine") during year 1995. The
1996 loss reflects the carrying cost of the Morning Star Mine and the ongoing
administrative costs. The Company spent $1,000 on exploration expenses during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 on concessions in Mexico contrasted to $80,000
exploration expenditures during the same period in 1995. The Company received
$30,000 payment from a joint venture partner as an option payment.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's net working capital deficit increased by $611,000 over that of
March 31, 1995. During the three months ended March 31,1996 operating losses and
additions to property were funded primarily through issuance of stock for cash
and property.
The company has sustained recurring losses from operations and has a significant
working capital deficit. Although the Company raised equity capital from
private placements in 1996, due to the uncertainties regarding its ability to
develop and attain profitable operations and raise capital in the future, there
can be no assurance of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
A lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for
the County of Santa Barbara against the company entitled Patricia R. Eubank v.
Vanderbilt Gold Corp., Case No. SM93578 for moneys alleged to be owing pursuant
to a lease under which Vanderbilt was a tenant relating to certain mining
claims. Management disputed the contention that moneys were owing due to
termination of the lease by the company. However, in order to compromise a
disputed claim and to avoid additional attorney's fees and costs, Management has
now reached a settlement with Plaintiffs. The terms of the settlement include
payment by Vanderbilt of $2,500, issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock,
termination of the lease and a full general release of all claims by Plaintiffs
and Vanderbilt.
