THE NEW ANACONDA COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of The New Anaconda Company and
its subsidiaries ("Anaconda"). These financial statements are condensed
and, therefore, do not include all disclosures normally required by
generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read
in conjunction with Anaconda's most recent annual financial statements
included in the Company's report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March
31, 2000. In particular, Anaconda's significant accounting principles were
presented as Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in that
Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed financial
statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. The results
of operations presented in the accompanying condensed financial statements
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
full year ending March 31, 2001.
BUSINESS CONDITION Anaconda and its subsidiaries have accumulated
deficits of $41,118,055 since their inception in 1993 through March 31,
2000 and $41,519,601 as of September 30, 2000. They have had losses from
operations and negative cash flows from operating activities during each of
the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000. These conditions raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Although the Company had positive stockholders' equity at March
31, 2000 and September 30, 2000, realization of the investment in
properties and equipment is dependent on Anaconda's obtaining financing for
the further development and utilization of its technology to extract
precious metals from mineral reserves and other sources.
NOTE 2 RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE
During the second quarter of 2001 Anaconda continued to rely on its major
stockholder for financing the Company's limited operations. The loans are
intended to be long-term in nature as it is determined that the Company
will need what resources it is able to obtain in the near future for
current operations and not to reimburse the stockholder for loans made to
the Company.
NOTE 3 COMMITMENTS
The Company has defaulted on its capital lease obligations. Certain
equipment has been repossessed and it is expected that other equipment will
also be repossessed by the creditors. All outstanding lease obligations
have been reclassified to current liabilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The Company had cash on hand of $1,976 as of September 30, 2000.
Since inception, the Company has been engaged in research and
development and raising the needed capital to bring technology to the
production level and, therefore, is considered a development stage
enterprise. The Company's ability to move from the development stage is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations
to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional funding as
may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management
has been authorized by the board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of its common stock to the public for additional financing sometime
in the future. Management is negotiating with a source of equity financing.
The Company is also holding discussions with additional private placement
sources in case anticipated financing does not materialize. No firm
commitments have been received. There is no assurance the Company will be
able to raise any capital or that the Company will receive sufficient
capital to continue in operation. The company's activities have been placed
on hold, until new funding is secured. The minimum expenses incurred during
the quarter have been funded by the Company's largest shareholder on a
long-term loan basis. Management believes that the shareholder will use its
best efforts to continue to provide subsistence funding, however no
agreement to do so exists, and the shareholder's ability to do so on an
extended basis is doubtful. Future capital commitments, including the
funds needed to complete the pilot plant, are also on hold subject to the
equity financing mentioned above. Repayment of debt is anticipated to come
from operating profits to be generated when the pilot and or subsequent
plants are in operation. No debt repayment is planned from the anticipated
financing, should it be successfully concluded.
Results of Operations
---------------------
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999.
The Company had no revenue during the six months ended September 30,
2000 or during the same 1999 period.
General and administrative expenses of $401,546 incurred in the six
months ended September 30, 1999 are $6,503,038 less than the $6,904,584 for
the six months ended September 30, 1999. $6,750,000 of the difference is
the expense of having issued 3,000,000 at $2.25 per share in the six months
ended September 30, 1999. These shares were issued for services. No
comparable transaction occurred in the 2000 year. Net of this single,
transaction general and administrative expenses are $246,962 higher in the
half ended September 30, 2000, than in the comparable 1999 period.
The six months ended September 30, 2000 general and administrative
expenses consist of operating expenses in the Victoria Plant of $33,724,
$243,000 of accrued salaries, $42,032 in travel expenses, $69,664 in
depreciation and $13,126 in legal expenses. The $33,724 in operating
expenses at the Victoria plant are for facilities expenses such as
telephone, utilities and rent only as the plant is not conducting any
activities at this time. The 1999 comparable period expenses are also for
the facilities expenses but include additional salaries and wages as well
as a small amount of laboratory expenses. The 1999 six month period did not
include the accrued salaries as two of the officers had waived the
liability and one was not yet employed.
