INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
GWZ, WAZCO and Heritage Gold Mines
(A Development Stage Company)
Newport Beach, California
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of GWZ Management
Company, Inc. (GWZ), WAZCO, Inc. (WAZCO) and Heritage Gold Mines, Inc. (Heritage
Gold Mines) (A Development Stage Company) (all entities collectively the
"Company") as of January 31, 1996, and the related combined statements of
operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years ended
January 31, 1996, 1995 and for the period from inception (May 14, 1992) through
January 31, 1996. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are
free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of GWZ, Wazco and
Heritage Gold Mines (A Development Stage Company) as of January 31, 1996 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended January 31,
1996, 1995 and for the period from inception (May 14, 1992) through January 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has no
revenue and may need additional funds to carry out its plan of operations. The
Company's continued existence depends upon its ability to obtain additional
equity or debt financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with
respect to these matters are described in Note 1. No adjustments have been made
to the financial statements to provide for this uncertainty.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
WAZCO, Inc. (WAZCO), GWZ Management Company, Inc. (GWZ), and Heritage Gold
Mines, Inc. (Heritage Gold Mines) (A Development Stage Company) (all entities
collectively the "Company") were incorporated on May 14, 1992, April 26, 1993
and July 21, 1995, respectively, under the laws of the State of Nevada. The
Company is engaged in the business of mining, milling and refining gold ore from
its own claims and deposits for sale as 80% fine dore gold bars and 99.99% pure
gold bullion.
Once in production, the 80% fine dore gold bars will be recovered and refined by
the Company from its own free gold on site. The concentrates, after the free
gold and the Company production of 80% fine dore gold bars, will be further
refined under contract with outside independent processors and refiners into
99.99% pure gold bullion bars, which are then sold by the Company throughout
recognized outlets into the readily available domestic and international gold
market.
From its inception (considered to be May 14, 1992 for the purpose of these
combined financial statements), to January 31, 1996, the Company was in the
development stage. The Company has concentrated its activities to acquire,
explore, claim and permit mineral properties, acquire, repair, retrofit and
bring mining equipment to its intended use, develop the mineral properties to
get them ready for operations and search for a partner to contribute the working
capital necessary to operate the mine. From inception through January 31, 1996,
there have been no active mining operations.
The Company has incurred operating losses from inception through January 31,
1996 and has an accumulated deficit of $309,196 and negative working capital of
$1,177,069. During the year ended January 31, 1996, the Company's operations
used $187,252 of cash and the Company used $450,328 of cash in investing
activities. The Company's cash was provided from advances and notes from
related parties. Management expects that the Company's cash expenditures for
the fiscal year ended January 1, 1997 will be approximately $1,200,000.
Subsequent to year end, the Company reorganized its structure as follows (the
"Reorganization"):
- Heritage Gold Mines acquired 100% of the stock of WAZCO and GWZ from the
common stockholders. Accordingly, for the purpose of these financial
statements, Heritage Gold Mines is considered the surviving entity.
Heritage Gold Mines has 25 million shares of common stock authorized and
310,000 shares issued and outstanding as of January 31, 1996.

GWZ, WAZCO AND HERITAGE GOLD MINES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)
- On March 6, 1996, Heritage Gold Mines merged with Heritage Mines, Ltd., a
"public shell," with no major assets or liabilities. From November 1995
through March 1996, Heritage Mines, Ltd., through its majority shareholder,
obtained $1,000,000 through a private placement. Funds were advanced to
the Company (Note 5) and were used for mining development costs and working
capital. In June 1996, the new merged entity raised an additional $125,000
in equity capital and $140,000 in debt financing.
- As part of the Reorganization, several notes payable to shareholders and
related parties were contributed to capital or converted to stock (See
Note 5).
Management believes that the additional equity raised in June 1996 will allow
the Company to start revenue generating operations within three months.
However, there can be no assurance such funds will be sufficient to support
profitable operations and additional financing may be necessary. No adjustments
have been made to the accompanying financial statements to provide for this
uncertainty.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
The combined financial statements include the accounts of GWZ, WAZCO and
Heritage Gold Mines. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.
MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less. Income taxes and interest
paid for all periods presented was immaterial.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets and
liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these
items.
INVENTORIES
Ore and in-process inventories and materials and supplies are stated at the
lower of average cost or net realizable value. Precious metals are stated at
market value. Since there were no active operations, there was no such
inventory at January 31, 1996.
PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND MINE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Expenditures for new property, plant and equipment or expenditures which extend
the useful lives of existing property, plant and equipment are capitalized and
depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate
such costs over their estimated productive lives, which range from five to ten
years.
Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined
that a mineral property can be economically developed, the costs incurred to
develop such property, including the costs to further delineate the ore body and
remove overburden to initially expose the ore body, are capitalized. Such costs
and estimated future development costs are amortized using a unit-of-production
method over the estimated life of the ore body. No amortization was recorded
for all years presented as there has been no active mining operations from
inception to January 31, 1996.
Interest expense allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to
constructing new facilities is capitalized until operations commence. Interest
capitalized amounted to $26,088, $8,816 and $34,904 for the years ended January
31, 1996, 1995 and from inception through January 31, 1996, respectively.
Gains or losses from normal sales or retirements of assets are included in other
income or expense.

GWZ, WAZCO AND HERITAGE GOLD MINES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
MINING COSTS
In general, mining costs are charged to operations as incurred. Due to the
diverse waste-to-ore ratios encountered in mining certain of the Company's
deposits, mining costs for the deposits, to the extent they do not relate to
current production, are capitalized and then charged to operations when the
applicable gold is produced. No such cost was capitalized for all periods
presented in the accompanying financial statements.
RECLAMATION AND MINE CLOSURE COSTS
Estimated future reclamation and mine closure costs are based principally on
legal and regulatory requirements and are accrued and charged over the expected
operating lives of the Company's mines using a unit-of-production method. No
costs have been accrued to date since there have been no active mining
operations from inception to January 31, 1996.
ISSUANCE OF STOCK FOR SERVICES
Shares of the Company's common stock issued for services are recorded in
accordance with APB 16 at the fair market value of the stock issued or the fair
market value of the services provided, whichever value is the more clearly
evident.

3. PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND MINE DEVELOPMENT (CONTINUED)
The Company's facilities, deposits, and claims cover an area of approximately 5
to 6 square miles located in the Knownothing Creek Mining District at the Forks
of Salmon in Northern California. The Company pays annual fees of a nominal
amount to the Federal Bureau of Land Management for the rights to use such land
to develop and extract minerals.
From the Company's inception, development plans and permits were applied for and
initial funding and equipment purchases were made. Plans of mining operations
were approved by the United States Forestry Service and other agencies.
Presently there are ten claims in various stages of exploration and development,
valued at $35,000. An initial geological study will be completed in the third
quarter of 1996.
Construction in progress consists of a mill and its ancillary facilities, which
are connected by Company-improved roads to various claims and operational mining
locations. The mill operation includes crushing, grinding, separation shaker
screen and concentration equipment, and a furnace house, saw mill house, and
dynamite storage house. The present operation is being developed to produce and
process 30 tons of gold ore per day per shift.
4. NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable of $36,640 consist of three notes payable to individuals, bearing
interest at 10%, with principal and interest due on demand. These notes are
collateralized by the assets and production from the Company's mining operations
and are personally guaranteed by two of the Company's directors.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At January 31, 1996, the Company had the following notes and advances due to
stockholders and related parties:

January 31, 1996 year end. The Company has incurred tax losses for all entities
and all periods presented. As a result, no provision has been recorded and the
tax benefit of net operating losses was offset by valuation allowances of the
same amount.
As of January 31, 1996, the Company had combined net operating loss
carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately
$400,000, which expire at various times through 2011. For tax purposes, only a
portion of the tax net operating loss can be utilized in any given year if the
company which generated the loss has more than 50 percent change in ownership in
a three year listing period. Accordingly, the Reorganization may result in
limitations on the use of the NOL described above.

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
In May 1993, WAZCO entered into a joint venture agreement with Sky Scientific,
Inc. ("Sky"), a California corporation, with the purpose of raising equity to
develop its mining operations. In 1994, Sky issued stock and deposited $220,000
in exchange for the Company's twelve mining claims. The funds were recorded in
other income in 1994. Other than this transaction, the joint venture was never
consummated and WAZCO sued Sky to recover its claims, and Sky countersued. In
March 1996, the litigation was settled as follows: Sky was given two of the
twelve claims, the remaining ten claims were returned to WAZCO, and the stock
issued to WAZCO was cancelled.
8. RESTRICTED CASH
As of January 31, 1996, the Company had $17,880 in restricted cash to serve as
collateral for several U.S. Forest Service reclamation bonds. The bonds are
required to insure reclamation and stabilization of surface resources, and are
subject to yearly changes in the Company's operations and costs of reclamation
and erosion control.

1. GENERAL
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) as of
January 31, 1996 and the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations (unaudited) for the year ended January 31, 1996 reflect the
following reorganization (the "Reorganization"):
- Heritage Gold Mines, Inc. acquired 100% of the stock of WAZCO and GWZ
from the common stockholders. In accordance with SEC practice, the
exchange of shares between companies under common control is accounted
for as if the combinations were a pooling of interest. Heritage Gold
Mines is presented herein consolidated with its two subsidiaries,
WAZCO and GWZ.
- On March 6, 1996, Heritage Gold Mines, Inc. merged with Heritage
Mines, Ltd., a "public shell," with no major assets or liabilities.
From November 1995 through March 1996, Heritage Mines, Ltd., through
its majority shareholder, obtained $1,000,000 through a private
placement. Of these funds, as January 31, 1996, $323,677 were
advanced to the Company and were used for mining development costs and
working capital.
- As part of the Reorganization, several notes payable to shareholders
and related parties were contributed to capital or converted to stock.
These pro forma consolidated financial statements (unaudited) represent the
consolidated financial position and operations of Heritage Mines, Ltd. and
Heritage Gold Mines, Inc. as if the Reorganization had occurred February 1,
1995.
These pro forma consolidated financial statements (unaudited) do not
purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been
obtained if the operations were combined for the year ended January 31,
1996, and this presentation is not intended to be a projection of future
results or trends.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
(1) Adjustment to reflect the reverse acquisition of Heritage Mines, Ltd.
and elimination of its capital stock.
(2) Adjustment to reflect the $1,000,000 infusion of capital of which
$323,677 had been advanced to Heritage Gold Mines, Inc. at January 31,
1996 and $125,000 in expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition of Heritage Mines, Ltd.
(3) Adjustment to reflect the conversion of debt, and related accrued
interest, into stock of Heritage Mines, Ltd.
(4) Pro forma loss per share is computed using the weighted average number
of shares assuming that all the shares issued in connection with the
Reorganization were outstanding for the entire year. Common stock
equivalents were not considered in the loss per share calculation as
the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
