NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit
and are subject to year-end adjustment. Certain information and footnote
disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements filed by the Company on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
Results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved for the
full fiscal year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30
There were no revenues for either the three months ended June 30, 1998 or
June 30, 1997 as the sole business activity of the Company was its search for a
business to acquire and the acquisition of certain timber concessions and the
planning for their development.
Operating expenses decreased by $26,267 or 73.5% to $9,462 from $35,729 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. This decrease is the result of a reduction
in general and administrative costs of $30,566 which was partially offset by an
increase in amortization of $618 and interest expense of $3,682.
Six Months Ended June 30
There were no revenues for either the six months ended June 30, 1998 or
June 30, 1997 as the sole business activity of the Company was its search for a
business to acquire and the acquisition of certain timber concessions and the
planning for their development.
Operating expenses decreased by $40,734 or 27.7% to $106,234 from $146,948
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is the result of a
reduction in general and administrative costs of $131,518 which was partially
offset by an increase in amortization of $617, in interest expense of $3,542 and
a write off for discontinued operations of $86,645.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the past twelve months, the Company has funded its operating losses and
capital requirements through the sale of stock and loans from its shareholders.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had a cash balance of $1,392 and a working
capital deficit of $328,157. This compares with cash of $1,408 and a working
capital deficit of $215,462 for the corresponding period of the prior year.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $12,204 from $14,702 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in cash
used in operations resulted from an increases net operating loss that was
partially offset by charges in current accounts.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $10,000 from $65 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This increase is
attributable to an increase in advances from a shareholder.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had a demand loan payable to a shareholder of
$50,000; a demand loan payable to a third party of $50,000 and advances form
shareholders of $14,290.
The Company has experienced significant operating losses throughout its
history, and the acquisition of Resources of the Pacific, Inc. will acquire
substantial funds for the development of its business. Therefore, the Company's
ability to survive is dependent on its ability to raise capital through the
issuance of stock or borrowing of additional funds. Without the success of one
of these options, the Company will not have sufficient cash to satisfy its
working capital and investment requirements for the next twelve months.
