ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The company has focused its efforts on acquisitions of other properties in
Mexico with the capabilities of near term production. The Company is continuing
negotiations with Cosalteca regarding the Las Coloradas joint venture and the La
Sierra concession. The Company has entered into an option agreement with
Barnett Group holdings to lease the Morning Star Mine. The Company is
continuing its efforts to comply with governmental agency requirements related
to the mine.
The company entered into an agreement to acquire a property in Mexico with near
term production capabilities. Mine development has commenced on the site.
The company has ceased all payments to Cosalteca awaiting the outcome of the
negotiations. The negotiations are pertaining to extending the option period
for both Rosarence and the company's interest in the Las Coloradas joint venture
and increasing the company's interest in the Las Coloradas mine. If the company
is not successful in these negotiations the company may elect or be forced to
relinquish its interest in these properties.
The company is responding to the State of California regarding a penalty
assessed by the California Department of Conservation on the Morning Star Mine.
The company has completed a report required by the California Water Board and is
responding to penalties for late filing of the report assessed by the Board.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 1998 to six months ended June 30, 1997:
The Company realized a net loss of $179,000 ($0.004 per share) for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 which is $80,000 less than the $259,000 ($0.007 per
share) net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997. These quarterly losses
reflect the fact that the Company was concentrating on reclamation and
remediation activities at the Morning Star Mine ("Mine") and consolidating its
property position in Mexico
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's net working capital deficit increased by $105,000 over that of
December 31, 1997. During the six months ended June 30, 1998 operating losses
were funded primarily through issuance of stock for cash.
The company has sustained recurring losses from operations and has a significant
working capital deficit. Although the Company raised equity capital from
private placements in 1997 and the first two quarters of 1998, due to the
uncertainties regarding its ability to develop and attain profitable operations
and raise capital in the future, there can be no assurance of the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
