Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on
March 31, 1993 and is in the business of exploration and development of
mineral properties. On October 13, 1997, the Company changed its name to
Patagonia Gold Corporation.
The Company was inactive until June 30, 1997, when it entered into a share
exchange agreement with the shareholders of Patagonia Gold Mines Ltd.
("PGM"), an inactive company incorporated in 1994 under the laws of
Bermuda, whereby the Company acquired all issued and outstanding share of
PGM in exchange for 5,500,000 common shares of the Company. There were no
operations of the companies prior to June 30, 1997. At the conclusion of
the transaction, the former shareholders of PGM controlled the Company and,
thus, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of
the Company by PGM. Consistent with accounting principles governing the
accounting for reverse acquisitions, these consolidated financial
statements are accounted for as a continuation of the legal subsidiary.
The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method. As the net book
value of the Company at the date of the acquisition was $Nil, a nominal
value has been assigned to shares issued pursuant to the share exchange
agreement.
Also on July 30, 1997, the Company acquired mineral properties in Argentina
in exchange for the issuance of 3,000,000 common shares. The mineral
properties were valued at $300,000. During the year ended December 31,
1999, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Argentinean
mineral properties exceeded the future projected cash flows from the
mineral properties. Consequently, the mineral properties were written down
to their estimated fair value of $3,000.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of mineral
property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable
mineral reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying
mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to
complete the development and upon future profitable production. The Company
has incurred recurring operating losses and requires additional funds to
meet its obligations and maintain its operations. Management's plans in
this regard are to raise equity financing as required.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
The Company has not generated any operating revenues to date.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-QSB
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month month period ended March 31, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2001.
6
The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date. The consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Patagonia Gold Corporation Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000 should be
reviewed in connection with these condensed consolidated financial
statements.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patagonia
Gold Mines Ltd., a company incorporated in 1994 under the laws of
Bermuda. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
(b) Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses
Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred as are normal
development costs until such time that proven reserves are discovered.
From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the
extent that future cash flow from reserves equals or exceeds the costs
deferred. As at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company did
not have proven reserves. Cost of initial acquisition of mineral
rights and concessions are capitalized until the properties are
abandoned or the right expires.
Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at
the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.
Costs related to site restoration programs are accrued over the life
of the project.
(c) Investments
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value with
unrealised holding gains and losses included in stockholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses are determined on an average cost basis when
securities are sold.
(d) Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising
costs charged to expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 2001
and 2000 were $0 and $0, respectively.
(e) Impairment
Certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in
circumstances require as to whether their carrying value has become
impaired, pursuant to guidance established in 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".
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value
exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations
(undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed
to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.
(f) Accounting 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 and assumptions.
7
(g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values. These financial
instruments include cash, receivables, investments and accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. Fair values were assumed to
approximate carrying values for these financial instruments, except
where noted, since they are short term in nature and their carrying
amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on
demand. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed
to significant interest, credit or currency risks arising from these
financial instruments.
(h) Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the
Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized
in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the
liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and
assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse.
(i) Loss Per Share
Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year. Effective for the year ended December 31,
1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
(j) Comprehensive Income
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The
Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of
Stockholders' Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except
those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. SFAS No. 130 did not change the current accounting treatments
for components of comprehensive income.
(k) New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts
as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure
them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match
the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with
the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged
asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii)
the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a
derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is
recognized in income in the period of change. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts
either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
Accordingly, the Company does not expect adoption of the new standards
on January 1, 2000 to affect its financial statements.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities", ("SOP 98-5") which provides guidance on the financial
reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires costs
of start-activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred.
SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998 with initial adoption reported as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. Adoption of this standard has no
material effect on the financial statements.

(b) Guatamala
Pursuant to an agreement dated October 1, 1999, the Company has paid
$9,250 of acquisition cost, spent $18,617 towards the required
exploration program and earned a 50% interest in the San Diego Mineral
Exploration Reconnaissance License.
6. Share Capital
On April 9, 1997, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to
provide for the authorization of 50,000,000 common shares at $0.001 par
value. Previously, the authorized capital was 200 common shares of no par
value.
Also, on April 9, 1997, the Company forward split its common stock 5,000:1,
thus increasing the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 200
shares to 1,000,000 shares. This split has been reflected retroactively in
these financial statements.
7. Income Taxes
(a) The Company has estimated net losses for tax purposes to December 31,
2000, totalling approximately $680,000, which may be applied against
future taxable income. Accordingly, there is no tax expense charged to
the Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an
annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances
change and this causes a change in management's judgement about the
realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the
valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.
The right to claim these losses is expected to expire as follows:
2008 $ 10,000
2012 16,000
2018 128,000
2019 460,000
2020 66,000
--------------------------------
680,000
================================
(b) The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the
Company's deferred tax asset (liability) is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------
2000 1999
-------------------------------------------------
Tax loss carry forwards $ 22,000 $ 157,000
Valuation allowance (22,000) (157,000)
-------------------------------------------------
$ - $ -
=================================================
No tax effect has been recorded on the accumulated other comprehensive
income unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale due to the
existence of U.S. tax loss carry forwards.

Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in these financial
statements for the three-months ended March 31, 2001, include salaries of

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
(A) General
Patagonia Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Patagonia") was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Florida on March 31, 1993, under the name
"Cayman Purchasing & Supply, Inc." The Company was inactive until it
redirected its business efforts in mid 1997 following a change of
management, which occurred on June 25, 1997, to the acquisition,
exploration and, if warranted, the development of mineral resource
properties. The Company changed its name to Patagonia Gold Corporation on
October 13, 1997 to more fully reflect its business activities.
The Company is engaged in the location, acquisition, exploration and, if
warranted, development of mineral resource properties. The Company's
primary objective is to explore for gold, silver, base metals and
industrial minerals and, if warranted, to develop those existing mineral
properties. Its secondary objective is to locate, evaluate, and acquire
other mineral properties, and to finance their exploration and development
either through equity financing, by way of joint venture or option
agreements or through a combination of both.
Currently, the Company's activities are centered in Argentina and
Guatemala.
The Company's common stock is traded on the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board.
The Company has not declared or paid dividends on its shares since
incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the near future.
The Company's offices are located at 1505 - 1060 Alberni Street, Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4K2.
(B) Significant developments during the first quarter of 2001
The Company is currently concentrating its exploration activities in
Argentina and Guatemala. The Company is also examining other exploration
properties in Mexico.
An exploration work program on the San Diego reconnaissance license,
Guatemala, started in the fourth quarter of 1999 was completed during the
first quarter of 2000. The program included geological mapping and soil and
rock sampling. The aim of the preliminary exploration work was to identify
a number of highly prospective areas for which applications for mineral
exploration licenses will be made, and subsequently undertake more
comprehensive work. The Company's exploration work program in 2001 will
entail surface mapping of geology, sampling of soils on a grid basis to
delineate geochemical anomalies, stream sediment sampling and geophysical
surveying. The data assembled from this work will be used to determine
whether: (i) further exploration is warranted; or (ii) whether the mineral
reconnaissance license should be surrendered.
During the three-months ended March 31, 2001, the Company continued its
preliminary field assessment and sampling programs on its Argentina
properties. The fieldwork consisted of reconnaissance, mapping and sampling
of individual outcrops. The Company's exploration work program in 2001 will
entail surface mapping of geology, sampling of soils on a grid basis to
delineate geochemical anomalies, stream sediment sampling and geophysical
surveying. The data assembled from this work will be used to determine
whether: (i) further exploration is warranted; or (ii) whether mineral
exploration concession licenses should be surrendered.
All of the Company's properties are in the exploration stages only and are
without a known body of Mineral Reserves. Development of the properties
will follow only if satisfactory exploration results are obtained. Mineral
exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few
properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
There is no assurance that the Company's mineral exploration and
development activities will result in any discoveries of commercially
viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of the
Company's operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and
success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of
factors.
11
On May 8, 2001 The Board of Directors of Patagonia Gold Corporation
announced that Mr. David Jenkins resigned from the Board of Directors and
as President of the Company to pursue other interests. Mr. Terry Longair
was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and President of
the Company.
(C) Financial Information
Three-Months Ended March 31, 2001 versus Three-Months Ended March 31, 2000
For the three-months ended March 31, 2001 the Company recorded a profit of
$51,923 or $0.00 per share, compared to a loss of $30,733 or $0.00 per
share in 2000.

At March 31, 2001, the Company had cash of $28,770 (2000 - $5,473) and
working capital of $571,072 (2000 working capital - $1,131,046)
respectively. Total liabilities as of March 31, 2001 were $62,250 as
compared to $125,179 on March 31, 2000, a decrease of $62,929. During 2001
financing activities consisted of the following, proceeds from notes and
advances payable $0 (2000 - $10,300), repayment of notes and advances
payable $930 (2000 - $0). In Fiscal 2001 investing activities consisted of
additions to mineral properties $0 (2000 - $0), purchases of
available-for-sale securities $64,667 (2000 - $0) and proceeds from the
sale of available-for-sale securities $209,683 (2000 - $0). The Company
recorded a gain of $70,587 (2000 - loss of $0) on the sale of
available-for-sale securities. For the three-months ended March 31, 2001
the Company recorded a profit of $51,923, or $0.00 per share compared to a
loss of $30,733 ($0.00 per share) in 2000.
The Company does not have sufficient working capital to (i) pay its
administrative and general operating expenses through December 31, 2001 and
(ii) to conduct its preliminary exploration programs. Without cash flow
from operations, it may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through
equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) in order, if warranted, to
implement additional exploration programs on its properties. Failure to
obtain such additional financing may result in a reduction of the Company's
interest in certain properties or an actual foreclosure of its interest.
The Company has no agreements or understandings with any person as to such
additional financing.
None of the Company's properties has commenced commercial production and
the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations.
While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital
through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture
development of its properties, there is no assurance that any such activity
will generate funds that will be available for operations.

The Company has not declared or paid dividends on its shares since
