(Attach extra sheets if needed.) o During the second quarter, the Registrant experienced a change in management and a change in legal counsel. The Registrant did not have sufficient time to establish processes with new management and counsel for the preparation and review of the financial statements and the Form 10-QSB by the filing deadline. The Registrant is currently working with its staff and accountants to complete a review of the financial statements and Form 10-QSB for the second quarter. PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification: Donald Salcito, Esq. (303) 291-2300 (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter) period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). |X| Yes |_| No (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? |X| Yes |_| No If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. The Registrant's estimated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 are approximately $10,000, consisting entirely of revenues from exploration activities. The Registrant is a non-operating holder of working interests in certain oil and gas properties. For the corresponding quarter in 2001, the Registrant's revenues were $19,000, consisting entirely of its share in net revenues from these oil and gas working interests. Due to the acquisition of the principal operator of these properties by another company, timely reporting to the Registrant of its share in net revenues from its working interests has been delayed, preventing a reasonable basis for accruing these revenues. The Registrant's estimated operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 are approximately $1,742,000, which represent a $638,000 decrease from operating expenses for the corresponding quarter in 2001. This change is largely due to the fact that the Registrant has significantly reduced its mineral exploration efforts, thus, reducing its mineral exploration expenses. 2 The Registrant's estimated net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 is approximately $2,050,000 which represents a $350,000 decrease from the net loss for the corresponding quarter in 2001. This change is due primarily to the reduction in operating expenses, as described above. EMEX CORPORATION (Name of Registrant as specified in charter) has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
