In July and August 1995 the Company located 45 unpatented lode mining claims known as the Dix Apex #1 through #45 inclusive, in the Tutsagubet Mining District in Washington County, Utah. An additional 25 unpatented lode mining claims known as the Dix Apex #46 through #70 inclusive, were located in the same mining district in December 1995. The Company's 90% owned subsidiary, Apex Minerals of Utah, Inc. (Apex Utah) was incorporated in June 1996 for the purpose of holding title to the Utah mining claims. These claims were transferred in June 1996. In November 1996, Apex Utah purchased an additional 9 mining claims and part of a 10th mining claim in the same vicinity as the six Apex claims. The Company exchanged all of its interest in the mining claims and the prepaid mining leases for 9,000 shares of the subsidiary. Another 1,000 shares were issued to other parties for various services rendered and two state mining leases (See Note 2). In the future, the Company will recognize it's revenues from the sale of mineral and mining claims and may conduct studies and perform research and consultation from time to time. Loss Per Share The computations of loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. Provision for Income Taxes The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income taxes" in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 " Accounting for Income Taxes" requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income tax purposes. This statement recognizes (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of accounting transactions for tax and financial reporting purposes. There were no temporary differences at June 30, 1996 and earlier years; accordingly, no deferred tax liabilities have been recognized for all years. APEX MINERALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY (a development stage company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Provision for Income Taxes (continued) The Company has cumulative net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $10,000 at June 30, 1996. No effect has been shown in the financial statements for the net operating loss carry forwards as the likelihood of future tax benefit from such net operating loss carry forwards is not presently determinable. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards, estimated based upon current tax rates of $3400 at June 30, 1996 have been offset by valuation reserves of the same amount. The net change in deferred tax asset and offsetting valuation reserve amounted to $0 for 1996. The Company has available $10,000 in federal income tax carry forwards that will begin to expire in the year 2011. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as demand deposits at banks and certificates of deposits with maturities less than three months. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and March 31, 1997 include the accounts of the parent company, Apex Minerals Corporation, and its majority owned subsidiary Apex Minerals of Utah, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Organization Costs Organization costs of the Company are being amortized over 60 months. Total amortization costs for the nine months was $121. Development Stage Company The Company has yet to fully develop any material income from its stated primary objective and it is classified as a development stage company. All income, expenses, cash flows and stock transactions are reported since inception Mining Claims The Company has acquired several mining claims in Washington county in the state of Utah. The Company has expended funds in staking the claims and making the proper filings with the appropriate county, state and federal agencies. APEX MINERALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY (a development stage company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Prepaid Mining Leases Each year, the Bureau of Land Management charges $100 per mining claim which is to be paid in advance for the fiscal year September 1 to August 31. The Company has prepaid its lease on the mining claims to August 31, 1997. The state of Utah also charges for leases on mining claims within the state. State leases are prepaid through December 31, 1997. NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the period, an officer and shareholder has provided loans for operating cash for the Company. Total loans made to the Company during the nine month period ending March 31, 1997 was $11,100. Total loans advanced since inception is $26,100 The loans are non-interest bearing and payable on demand. NOTE 3 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 were prepared from the books and records of the Company. Management believes that all adjustments have been made to the financial statements to make a fair presentation of the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 1997. The results of the three and nine months are not indicative of a full year of operation for the Company. NOTE 4 - USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on management's estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. APEX MINERALS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY (a development stage company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following listing of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", The carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's financial instruments at March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996 are as follows: March 31, 1997 June 31, 1996 CarryingAmountsFairCarryingAmountsFair Values Values Cash and Cash Equivalents$ 624$ 624$ 3964$ 3964 Accounts Payable Including Current 26,200 25,556 15,000 14,631 Maturities The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

APEX MINERALS CORPORATION March 31, 1997 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company has had no material revenues from operations since its inception in July 1995. During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company generated revenue of $7,500 from consulting services performed by one of the officers of the Subsidiary for a local mining company and $4,129 from the gain of sale of stock that was sold to the company by an officer/Director. The Company has not generated any revenue during the first nine months ended March 31, 1997. Although the Company may conduct studies or perform research and consulting services for other mining companies in the future, it is not anticipated that such revenues will be material to the operations of the Company. The Company has filed an SB-2 registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell a minimum of 300,000 ($75,000) shares and a maximum of 800,000 shares ($200,000) to the public. Management believes that the equity funding received by the Company through this offering, will allow the Company to operate through August 1998. Except for the previous loans of management in the amount of $26,100 through March 31, 1997, the sole fixed obligation of the Company is the payment of the annual maintenance fees to the BLM and the State of Utah which would equal approximately $15,000 through August 1998. The Company does not anticipate the need to raise this offering are raised, the Subsidiary intends to seek additional mining properties and/or conduct limited geologic evaluation of the current or additional mining properties in the form of a limited drilling program or otherwise. Other than the purchase of office equipment and furniture from the funds in excess of the minimum amount raised, if any, the Company anticipates no additional purchases of equipment. Management anticipates that the $17,500 allocated from the use of proceeds from the offering will be adequate to provide the operating capital necessary to locate a suitable joint venture partner or other party interested in the mining properties and to pay operating expenses through August 1998.
