Independent Accountant's Review Report
Board of Directors
Wallace Silver Inc.
Spokane, Washington
I have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Wallace Silver Inc. (a
development stage company) as of March 31, 2001, and statements of operations,
cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and
2000, 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 Wallace Silver, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope that 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, I do not express such an opinion.
Based on my review, I am 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is a development stage
enterprise engaged in acquiring and holding ownership in subsurface mineral
rights, and has not experienced any significant business activity since 1989.
The Company has never shown profits from operations, has $109,368 in cumulative
losses since its inception, and has limited working capital at March 31, 2001.
These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are described in Note 5.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.

WALLACE SILVER INC.
(a development stage company)
Summary of Accounting Policies
Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
and Cumulative from Inception (August 26, 1968)
through March 31, 2001
The Company as a Development Stage Company:
- -------------------------------------------
Wallace Silver Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated according to the laws of
the State of Idaho on August 26, 1968. The Company, currently located in
Spokane, Washington, was originally incorporated for the primary purpose of
acquiring and holding the ownership of subsurface mineral rights and the right
to extract and mine ores and minerals beneath the surface of the incorporated
City of Wallace in Shoshone County, Idaho, and underneath adjoining or adjacent
parcels of land in either public or private ownership.
Throughout its history, the Company's activities have been limited to
promotional, exploration, development and capital raising activities. No actual
operations have taken place. The Company is, therefore, a development stage
company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
7.
Cash Equivalents
- ----------------
For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Equipment:
- ----------
The Company's only equipment is office furniture, which is fully depreciated as
of March 31, 2001.
Carrying Value of Other Assets:
- -------------------------------
In accordance with SFAS No. 121, costs associated with the acquisition of mining
claims and related promotional, exploration and development activities were
deemed to have been permanently impaired and nonrecoverable prior to January 1,
1998, and have therefore been written off as of December 31, 1997.
Comprehensive Income:
- ---------------------
The Company has no items of comprehensive income other than those reported on
the statement of operations.
Taxes
- -----
The Company has no income tax liability or expense for any year from inception
(August 26, 1968) through March 31, 2001 due to tax losses generated or carried
forward from prior years. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has tax net
operating loss carryforwards aggregating $78,495, which expire through the year
2020. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the full value of the deferred
tax asset for loss carryforwards since realization in future years is uncertain.
The valuation allowance increased by $713 in 2000 due to the net loss of $14,874
for the year, less $14,161 in expiring loss carryforwards.
Use of 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.
See accompanying independent accountant's review report and notes to financial
statements.

Summary of Accounting Policies
Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
and Cumulative from Inception (August 26, 1968)
through March 31, 2001
Earning/(Loss) Per Share
- ------------------------
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS") that established
standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure of earnings per
share, replacing the presentation of Primary EPS with a presentation of Basic
EPS. It also requires dual presentation of Basic EPS and Diluted Eps of the face
of the income statement for entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS
is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period presented, which aggregated 3,168,066 for the quarters ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, and 1,832,327 for the cumulative period from inception (August
26, 1968) through March 31, 2001. The Company did not present Diluted EPS, since
the result was either immaterial or anti-dilutive.
See accompanying independent accountant's review report and notes to financial
statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
and Cumulative from Inception (August 26, 1968)
through March 31, 2001
Note 1 - Transactions with Stockholders:
- ----------------------------------------
In 1969 and again in 1984 the Company made offerings of its common stock
pursuant to the Regulation A exemption to the Registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933. During 1968-1987 the Company acquired ownership of
subsurface mineral rights from property owners within the Wallace, Idaho city
limits and surrounding area, and from the City of Wallace, Idaho, through the
issuance of 292,559 shares of common stock on the basis of one share of stock
for each 25 square feet of property owned, at a price of $.05 per share, for
total costs of $14,628.
In addition to the issuance of stock for subsurface mineral rights the Company
gave the landowners options to acquire additional shares for $.05 per share.
During the period from inception (August 26, 1968) through December 31, 1998,
1,775,507 shares of common stock were issued for cash, promotional, exploration,
development, legal and other expenses totaling $73,006.
Note 2 - Impairment of Long-lived Assets:
- -----------------------------------------
Costs associated with the acquisition of mining claims and related promotional,
exploration and development activities, which aggregated $49,018, were deemed to
have been permanently impaired and nonrecoverable prior to January 1, 1998, and
have therefore been written off as of December 31, 1997, except for a minimal
carrying amount of $100 relating to the acquisition costs of the mining claims.
Note 3 - Commitment and Contingency:
- ------------------------------------
In order to acquire the mineral rights on property owned by the City of Wallace,
Idaho, on December 8, 1987, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to
the City of Wallace in exchange for a 25-year mining lease which granted the
Company the exclusive right and privilege to mine for and extract any and all
minerals which may underlie the surface of the real property within the exterior
geographical boundaries of the City of Wallace, Idaho. This lease is renewable
for an additional 25 years if the Company is and has been pursuing efforts to
interest a third party to explore and develop the property, taking into account
economic conditions existing and the condition of the mining industry in
general, including the market price of precious metal. In addition to the stock
which was issued, the City of Wallace retained a 30% interest in any and all
gross payments received under any lease or other mining agreement pertaining to
any production, exploration, development, or rights of access for any of the
property. As of March 31, 2001, no such payments had been made or were owed in
connection with this agreement.
See accompanying independent accountant's review report.

Notes to Financial Statements
Quarters Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
and Cumulative from Inception (August 26, 1968)
through March 31, 2001
Note 4 - Related Loans
- ----------------------
On January 5, 2001, the Company borrowed $10,000 from two related parties to
finance the continued efforts to make the Company a fully-reporting SEC entity.
Both individuals are stockholders, and one is also an officer and director of
the Company. The borrowings are unsecured, due on demand, and bear interest at
8% per annum. On February 12, 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $5,000
from the same two related parties on the same terms.
Note 5 - Going Concern
- ----------------------
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is a development state
enterprise engaged in acquiring and holding ownership in subsurface mineral
rights, and has not experienced any significant business activity since 1989.
The Company has never shown profits from operations, has $109,368 in cumulative
losses since its inception, and has limited working capital at March 31, 2001.
These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001 management loaned $15,000 to
the Company to fund costs related to bringing the Company into full
SEC-reporting status. As additional funds are needed to finance the Company,
management will sell additional shares of stock, loan money to the Company, or
arrange for borrowings. If management is unable to accomplish their objectives
within a reasonable timetable, or runs out of funds, the Company will remain
nonoperational until funds are again available to move it forward. In any event,
management will not allow the Company to fall into arrears with regard to its
Idaho state corporate charter.
12
Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
General
Since incorporation, the Company's only business activity has been
organizational matters and acquiring interests in subsurface mineral rights. The
Company filed its Form 10-SB on January 22, 2001. The Company has limited
working capital as of March 31, 2001. During the quarter ending March 31, 2001
management loaned $15,000.00 to the Company to fund costs related to bringing
the Company into full SEC reporting status. The Company feels it has in hand
sufficient funds to conduct its business activities planned for the next twelve
months.
Plan of Operation
As a development stage Company, Wallace Silver, Inc. has been
operationally inactive for the past 15 years. Current business plans include
conducting an assessment of assets available to 1) find a business partner to
explore and possibly operate the properties of the Company, and 2) analyze the
properties immediately adjacent to Wallace Silver, Inc.'s with an eye to a
business alliance to explore our joint property potentials.
The Company does not plan to hire any employees over the next twelve
months.
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
There were no operations conducted during the past two fiscal years.
The only changes in the company finances were the funds expended to 1) audit the
company books, and 2) retain counsel to assist in the preparation and submission
of Form 10-SB.
If the company were to conduct exploration or other operations within
the next two years, such activity would be funded by:
o Financing obtained through a joint venture with a major operator
already conducting operations in the area;
o Sale of securities to the general public;
o Private placement of securities;
o Arrange for borrowing;
o Loans which one of the directors and a shareholder have indicated a
willingness to make.
