Glossary of Selected Mining Terms

Cut-off Grade	The minimum grade of ore used to establish reserves.
Doré	Unrefined gold and silver bullion consisting of approximately 90% precious metals that will be further refined to almost pure metal.
Development Stage	A “development stage” project is one which is undergoing preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit for its extraction but which is not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility study.
Exploration Stage	An “exploration stage” prospect is one which is not in either the development or production stage.
Fault	A surface or zone of rock fracture along which there has been displacement.
Feasibility Study	An engineering study designed to define the technical, economic, and legal viability of a mining project with a high degree of reliability.
Formation	A distinct layer of sedimentary rock of similar composition.
Grade	The metal content of ore, usually expressed in troy ounces per ton (2,000 pounds) or in grams per ton or metric tons which contain 2,204.6 pounds or 1,000 kilograms. This report refers to ounces per ton.
Heap Leaching	A method of recovering gold or other precious metals from a heap of ore placed on an impervious pad, whereby a dilute leaching solution is allowed to percolate through the heap, dissolving the precious metal, which is subsequently captured and recovered.
Mineralized Material	The term “mineralized material” refers to material that is not included in the reserve as it does not meet all of the criteria for adequate demonstration for economic or legal extraction.
Mining	Mining is the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product. Exploration continues during the mining process and, in many cases, mineral reserves are expanded during the life of the mine operations as the exploration potential of the deposit is realized.

Net Smelter Return Royalty	A defined percentage of the gross revenue from a resource extraction operation, less a proportionate share or transportation, insurance, and processing costs.
Outcrop	That part of a geologic formation or structure that appears at the surface of the earth.
Probable Reserves	Reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for Proven Reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for Proven Reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
Production Stage	A “production stage” project is actively engaged in the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product.
Proven Reserves	Reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling, and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well-defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well established.
Reclamation	The process of returning land to another use after mining is completed.
Recoverable	That portion of metal contained in ore that can be extracted by processing.
Reserves	That part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of reserve determination.
Run-of-Mine	Mined ore of a size that can be processed without further crushing.
Strip Ratio	The ratio between tonnage of waste and ore in an open pit mine.
Waste	Barren rock or mineralized material that is too low in grade to be economically processed.

General

Commerce Group Corp. (“Commerce,” the “Company,” and/or the “Registrant” and reference to these identifications such as “we,” “our,” and “us” may be used herein to refer to Commerce or to any or all of wholly-owned subsidiaries of Commerce) is the only precious metals company that has produced gold and silver in the past twenty or more years in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America. Furthermore, since 1968, Commerce has been operative in the exploration, exploitation, development, and production of precious metals in El Salvador. Its gold ore reserves in the San Sebastian Gold Mine (SSGM) exceed 1.5 million ounces. Commerce’s objectives are to obtain a sufficient amount of funds to expand its San Cristobal Mill and Plant and to commence an open-pit, heap-leach operation at its SSGM to produce gold at a profit. It further plans to broaden its exploration targets as the opportunity to discover more gold and silver is evident. Commerce simultaneously continues to seek a compatible acquisition, merger, other business arrangement, or an endeavor in which synergism will prevail. This combination should continue to enhance the value of Commerce’s common shares.

Commerce has been a Wisconsin-chartered corporation since its merger from a State of Delaware corporation on April 1, 1999, and its corporate headquarters since its inception have been based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Commerce was organized in 1962 and its common shares have been publicly traded since 1968. The Company’s shares have been trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the trade symbol CGCO.OB, on the Pink Sheets under the trade symbol of CGCO.PK, and on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange under the trade symbol of C9G since October 2006. The organizational chart on the following page reflects the mining organization and the mining activities in El Salvador as of March 31, 2007. Presently Commerce has 100% ownership in the precious metals that are in its concession rights.

Precious Metal Mining

Commerce continues to be involved in the exploration, exploitation, development and production of gold and silver mines in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America, through its Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (“Joint Venture”). Commerce holds a nearly 100% interest in the Joint Venture which is the operator of the San Sebastian Gold Mine (“SSGM”).

Commerce’s objective is to enhance the value of its shares by realizing profits from the production and sale of gold and silver, cash flow, and by increasing its gold/silver ore reserves. This may be achieved by its being a low-cost gold producer, by increasing production and by expanding its gold ore reserves.

Commerce currently has the 304-acre SSGM exploitation concession which was granted by the El Salvadoran Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines. The 15,404,096 tons of proven reserves in this concession contain 1,506,732 ounces of gold. Commerce has an opportunity to increase its gold ore reserves since on March 3, 2003, it received the New San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploration Concession/License hereinafter identified as the “New SSGM.” It is currently exploring targeted areas in this 42-square kilometer area (10,374 acres), which includes three formerly-operated mines and encompasses the SSGM.

The Government of El Salvador on May 25, 2004 granted the Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession/License which consists of 45 square kilometers of area (11,115 acres) and includes eight formerly-operated gold and silver mines. This concession which abuts the New SSGM concession further enhances the potential to increase gold and silver ore reserves through the exploration of the eleven formerly-operated gold and silver mines located in both exploration concessions. The SSGM concession map is located on the following page.

Commerce’s current goal is to secure sufficient capital to in time produce 100,000 ounces of gold per year and to simultaneously develop additional gold/silver ore reserves. The Company expects to increase production by developing an open-pit, heap-leach operation on the SSGM site and by acquiring additional mill and related equipment which will increase the capacity of the processing of its higher grade virgin ore at the San Cristobal Mill and Plant (“SCMP”). The SSGM heap-leach operation should have the capability of producing (through processing a higher volume of gold ore beginning with 2,000 tons and in time increasing to 6,000 tons per day) significantly more gold than what can be produced at the SCMP, which has a present capacity of processing 200 tons of gold ore per day. Commerce will also continue to explore areas contiguous to the SSGM site and in its vast concession areas.

Operations

On December 31, 1999, there was significant concern about the price of gold declining to $250 an ounce with a strong indication that the price per ounce would continue to decrease. With this in mind, the Joint Venture decided to temporarily suspend its processing of gold at its SCMP. In order to preserve the integrity of the SCMP equipment, it was necessary for the Company to have adequate funds to retrofit, restore, rehabilitate, and expand its mill and plant. The initial resumption of producing gold was accomplished with the SCMP used equipment that the Joint Venture purchased on February 23, 1993. Even though the Joint Venture has maintained this mill and plant on a continuous basis, certain basic structural components are worn out and need to be replaced, retrofitted or overhauled. Concurrent with the decision to suspend processing gold ore was the awareness to increase efficiency by expanding the SCMP facilities from the existing 200-ton-per-day capacity to a 500-ton-per-day operation. From March 31, 1995 through December 31, 1999 when production was suspended, 22,710 ounces of bullion containing 13,305 ounces of gold and 4,667 ounces of silver were produced at the SSGM and then sold at the respective current world market price.

[final2007tk11002.jpg]

There are approximately 1.5 million ounces of proven and estimated gold ore reserves at the SSGM. Although the financial statements presented herein reflect that the SSGM is the only one of the Company’s mining properties which has generated revenues, there are strong indications of commercial gold/silver ore present at some of the other gold mine sites.

At the current stage of the exploration and development, the Company’s geologists have defined the following gold reserves:

			Ounces ------------------------------
Location	Tons	Average Grade	Proven	Probable	Total
San Sebastian Gold Mine
(a) Virgin ore, dump and waste material	14,404,096	0.081	1,166,732		1,166,732
(b) Stope fill (estimated)	1,000,000	0.340	________	340,000	340,000
	15,404,096		1,166,732	340,000	1,506,732

The anticipated recovery for processing via the SCMP will range from 85% to 95% and for heap leaching from 65% to 70%.

SSGM Joint Venture Arrangements

Commerce acquired 82 1/2% of the authorized and issued common shares of San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc. (“Sanseb”), a Nevada corporation formed on September 4, 1968. Approximately 200 unrelated shareholders hold the balance of Sanseb’s shares. From 1969 forward, Commerce has provided substantially all of the capital required to develop a mining operation at the SSGM, to fund exploration, and to acquire, refurbish and operate the SCMP.

On September 22, 1987, Commerce and Sanseb entered into a joint venture agreement (named the “Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture” and sometimes referred to herein as the “Joint Venture”) to formalize the relationship between Commerce and Sanseb with respect to the mining venture and to divide profits. The terms of this agreement authorize Commerce to supervise and control all of the business affairs of the Joint Venture. Under this agreement 90% of the net pre-tax profits of the Joint Venture will be distributed to Commerce and ten percent to Sanseb, and because Commerce owns 82 1/2% of the authorized and issued shares of Sanseb, Commerce in effect has an over 98% interest in the activities of the Joint Venture. In order to maintain current accounting between Commerce and Sanseb, the interest charges to Sanseb on advances made by Commerce are kept separately. Therefore, when profits are earned, the recorded interest due to Commerce will be paid from the cash distributions due and payable to Sanseb.

The Joint Venture leases the SSGM from the Company’s 52%-owned subsidiary, Mineral San Sebastian, S.A. de C.V. (“Misanse”), an El Salvadoran corporation. On January 14, 2003, the Company entered into an amended and renewed 30-year lease agreement with Mineral San Sebastian Sociedad Anomina de Capital Variable (Misanse) pursuant to the approval of the Misanse shareholders and Misanse directors at a meeting held on January 12, 2003. The renewed lease is for a period of time commencing and coinciding with the date that the Company received its Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License, hereinafter identified as the “Renewed SSGM,” from the Ministry of Economy’s Director of El Salvador Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM). The lease is automatically extendible for one or more equal periods. The Company will pay to Misanse for the rental of this real estate the sum of five percent of the sales of the gold and silver produced from this real estate, however, the payment will not be less than $343.00 per month. The Company has the right to assign this lease without prior notice or permission from Misanse. This lease is pledged as collateral for loans made to related parties (Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 7). The Misanse shareholders and directors have acknowledged, approved and confirmed at this shareholders’ meeting the total amount owed to Commerce for funds provided to obtain and maintain this lease agreement and concession.

The Joint Venture is registered as an operating entity to do business in the State of Wisconsin, U.S.A. and in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America. The Joint Venture Agreement authorizes Commerce to execute agreements on behalf of the Joint Venture.

Organizational Structure and Mining Projects

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture, but it excludes its 52% ownership of Mineral San Sebastian S.A. de C.V. Upon consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

Commerce was originally formed as a Wisconsin corporation (September 14, 1962). It then merged into a Delaware corporation on July 26, 1971 and on April 1, 1999 it merged back into a Wisconsin corporation. It owns 52% of Misanse, an El Salvadoran corporation that was formed on May 8, 1960, reinstated on January 25, 1975 and reincorporated on October 22, 1993. Misanse previously had a mining concession with the government of El Salvador and is the owner of the SSGM real estate. At that time, Misanse had assigned the mining concession to Commerce Group Corp. and San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc., the mining operator formed on September 22, 1987 and known as the Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (Joint Venture). The Joint Venture operates the SCMP (the gold processing plant acquired on February 23, 1993) and has conducted exploration, exploitation, development and production at the SSGM since October 1968; it was also in production from 1972 through March 1978 and from April 1, 1995 through December 1999. It also performed exploration at the following mines: San Felipe-El Potosi (from September 1993 through November 1999) and its extension Capulin (from May 1995 through November 1999); Modesto (from August 1993 through July 1997); Hormiguero (from September 1993 through 1998) and Montemayor (from March 1995 through July 1997). Commerce also owns 82 1/2% of the San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc. (SSGM) which was chartered as a Nevada corporation on September 4, 1968.

From 2003 to the present the Joint Venture is performing exploration at the La Lola Mine, the Santa Lucia Mine, the Tabanco Mine, and the Montemayor Mine, and from 2005 the La Joya Mine, which are included in the New SSGM and in the Nueva Esparta Concessions/Licenses.

The Government of El Salvador has issued the Modesto and San Felipe-El Potosi mining concessions to others. Commerce’s attorneys have challenged the legality of the issuance of these concessions. Commerce owns certain properties believed to be crucial to the Modesto Mine. It plans to apply for concessions on the Modesto property that it owns. It also has a lease agreement with the owners of the San Felipe-El Potosi Mine. Although the sub surface rights belong to the Government of El Salvador, access to the surface rights must be obtained from the landowner.

All of the mines mentioned, including the eleven mines admitted in the two exploration concessions, were formerly in production and did produce gold and/or silver. In addition to the channel trenching, test pit holes, and underground adit openings, the Joint Venture had its own diamond drilling rig and had contracted with others to explore the above-described SSGM potential targets in depth. All of the mining properties appear to have promising geologic prospects, alterations, and historical records that bear evidence that all have been mined and at one time in the past produced gold/silver.

World Gold Market Price, Customers and Competition

Since the Joint Venture was in operation and produced gold on a curbed start-up basis, its revenues, profitability and cash flow were greatly influenced by the world market price of gold. The gold world market price is generally influenced by basic supply and demand fundamentals. The price of gold/silver is unpredictable, volatile, can fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, expectations for inflation, the relative strength of the United States’ dollar in relation to other major worldwide currencies, political and economic conditions, central bank sales or purchases, inflation, production costs in major gold-producing regions, and other factors. The supply and demand for gold can also greatly affect the price of gold. The Company has not and does not expect in the foreseeable future to engage in hedging or other similar transactions to minimize the risk of fluctuations in gold prices or currencies. The Company’s present and past practice has been to sell its gold and silver at the world market spot prices. Gold and silver can be sold on numerous markets throughout the world, and the market price is readily ascertainable for such precious metals. There are many worldwide refiners and smelters available to refine these precious metals. Refined gold and silver can also be sold to a large number of precious metal dealers on a competitive basis. The Joint Venture’s SCMP operation which produces doré was refined by and sold to a refinery located in the United States. During the past five years the average annual spot market price of gold has fluctuated between $276 and $725 an ounce.

At this time the Joint Venture believes that, due to its current financial capacity, it may not be a major gold producer based on the size of larger existing gold mining companies. As this time the Company believes no single gold-producing company could have a large impact to offset either the price or supply of gold in the world market. There are many mining entities in the world producing gold. Many of these companies have substantially greater technical and financial resources and larger gold ore reserves than the Company. The Company believes that the expertise of the Joint Venture’s experienced key personnel, its ability to train its employees, its low overhead, its gold ore resources, its accessibility to the mine, its infrastructure, and its projected low cost of production may allow it to compete effectively and to produce reasonable profits.

The profitability and viability of the Joint Venture is dependent upon, not only the price of gold in the world market (which can be unstable), but also upon the political stability of El Salvador and the availability of adequate funding for either the SCMP operation or the SSGM open-pit, heap-leaching operation or for the other exploration projects.

As of this date, inflation, currency, interest rate fluctuations, and political instability have not had a material impact on the Company or its results of operations.

Seasonality

Seasonality does not have a material impact on the Company’s operations, but the rainy season in El Salvador (May through November) can subdue production.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the Company has adopted policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health and the production, handling, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability which could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in the business of the Company, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses.

Since the Company has been granted the Renewed SSGM from the DHM, it is required to maintain environmental permits. The issuance of these permits is under the jurisdiction of the El Salvador Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Office (MARN). On October 15, 2002, MARN issued an environmental permit under Resolution 474-2002 for the SCMP. On October 20, 2002, MARN issued an environmental permit under Resolution 493-2002 for the Renewed SSGM Exploitation area. Financial security bond(s) have been submitted as required.

Since the Government of El Salvador (GOES) has established a new Mining Law effective February 1996, its exploration, exploitation, development, and production programs are subject to environmental protection. The GOES has established the Office of the El Salvador Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN). In order to comply with mining law, the Company was required to obtain environmental permits. On October 15, 2002, an environmental permit under MARN Resolution 474-2002 was issued for the SCMP. On October 21, 2002, an environmental permit under MARN Resolution 493-2002 was issued pertaining to the SSGM. This permit was renewed for a three-year period with the issuance of Resolution No. 3026-003-2006 dated January 4, 2006.

On or about September 13, 2006, without any prior notice, the El Salvador Ministry of Environment’s office delivered to Commerce’s El Salvadoran legal counsel, its revocation of the MARN Resolution dated July 6, 2006 which included its San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation and San Cristobal Mill and Plant environmental permits. These were the only permits of their kind issued in the Republic of El Salvador. The Company’s El Salvadoran legal counsel, after reviewing the two letters (one for the SSGM exploration concession and the other for the SCMP exploitation concession) concluded that the revocation of these permits was arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional and he so stated in his September 20, 2006 letter to the Ministry of Environment’s office; a second letter was submitted by our legal counsel as the Ministry of Environment’s office requested a response to the first letter.

On or about December 6, 2006, the Company’s legal counsel filed with the El Salvadoran Court of Administrative Litigation of the Supreme Court of Justice two complaints against the revocation of the environmental permits: one for the San Sebastian Gold Mine and the other for the San Cristobal Mill and Plant. In these complaints the attorney filed the Company’s following defense:

Violation of the Right to a Hearing and Due Process – pursuant to Articles 88 and 93 of the Environmental Law. On January 4, 2006 under MARN Resolution No. 3026-003-2006, the environmental permit was extended.

Lack of legal foundation for the sanction – the Company was not in production, therefore, it could not be in violation. This fact was verified by a written MARN report after a site inspection on June 23, 2006.

Excess of Authority – besides revoking the environmental permit, MARN orders the closing of operations which said determination and authority are under the jurisdiction of the El Salvador Ministry of Economy’s office.

Environmental regulations add to the cost and time needed to bring new mines into production and add to operating and closure costs for mines already in operation. As the Company places more mines into production, the costs associated with regulatory compliance can be expected to increase. Such costs are a normal cost of doing business in the mining industry, and may require significant capital and operating expenditures in the future. The Company’s policy is to adhere to the El Salvador environmental standards. The Company cannot accurately predict or estimate the impact of any future laws or regulations developed in El Salvador that would affect the Company’s operations.

All operations by the Company involving the exploration or the production of minerals are subject to existing laws and regulations relating to exploration procedures, safety precautions, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution of water sources, waste materials, odor, noise, dust and other environmental protection requirements adopted by the El Salvador governmental authorities. The Company was required to prepare and present to such authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed exploration or production of minerals may have upon the environment. The requirements imposed by any such authorities may be costly, time consuming and may delay operations. Future legislation and regulations designed to protect the environment, as well as future interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require substantial increases in equipment and operating costs to the Company and delays, interruptions, or a termination of operations. The Company cannot accurately predict or estimate the impact of any such future laws or regulations, or future interpretations of existing laws and regulations, on its operations.

Operations, Other Than Mining

Commerce independently and through its partially and wholly-owned subsidiaries conducted other business activities, which at present are suspended. Previous operations consisted of the following: (1) land acquisition and real estate development through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, San Luis Estates, Inc. (“SLE”) and Universal Developers, Inc. (“UDI”); (2) real estate sales, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Homespan Realty Co., Inc. (“Homespan”); and (3) advertising and various businesses, including Internet-related businesses, through its subsidiary, Ecomm Group Inc. (“Ecomm”).

Land Acquisition, Development, Ownership and Real Estate Sales

During the past years, the Company has substantially diminished its activities in the business of real estate development conducted principally through its subsidiaries San Luis Estates, Inc. (“SLE”), a Colorado corporation, and Universal Developers, Inc. (“UDI”), a Wisconsin corporation. At present, all activities are suspended.

Misanse, the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary (52%) owns the SSGM real estate consisting of approximately 1,470 acres. This real estate is located approximately two and one-half miles northwest of the city of Santa Rosa de Lima, off of the Pan American Highway (a four-lane, first-class highway), about 108 miles southeast of the capital city of San Salvador, El Salvador, and is about 11 miles west from the border of the Country of Honduras. It is also about 26 miles from the city of La Union which has railroad and port facilities. The Company, on January 14, 2003, renewed its lease into a long-term lease arrangement with Misanse.

The Company also leases approximately 166 acres of real estate on which it has its SCMP and plans to process ore on this site. These facilities are located on the Pan American Highway, near the City of El Divisadero.

The Company owns approximately 63 acres of land on the Modesto Mine site which is located due north of the city of Paisnal and approximately 19 miles north of San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador. This real estate is pledged as collateral for funds advanced to the Company. It also leases approximately 175 acres of land considered to be the main part of the Montemayor Mine in the Department of Morazan.

The Joint Venture entered into a lease agreement with the San Felipe-El Potosi Cooperative (“Cooperative”) of the city of Potosi, El Salvador on July 6, 1993, to lease the real estate encompassing the San Felipe-El Potosi Mine for a period of 30 years and with an option to renew the lease for an additional 25 years, for the purpose of mining and extracting minerals.

Reference is made to “Item 2. Properties,” for additional information.

Homespan, the local real estate marketing subsidiary of the Company is presently inactive. It has no significant activity and is not material to the Company’s operation.

Employees

As of March 31, 2007, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries employed between 40 and 55 full-time persons, which number may adjust seasonally. The Company also employs up to four persons, including part-time help, in the United States. None of the Company’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions & Government Contracts

Other than concessions, licenses and interests in mining properties granted by the Government of El Salvador and leases with private landowners, the Company does not own any material patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or non-mining concessions.

Significant Customers

The Company presently has no individual significant customers in which the loss of one or more would have an adverse effect on any segment of its operations or from whom the Company has received more than ten percent of its consolidated revenues, except for the sale of gold when the Joint Venture is in production. The gold in doré form is refined and then sold at the world market spot price to a refinery located in the United States. Given the marketability and liquidity of the precious metals sold and because of the large source of qualified buyers of gold and silver, the Company believes that a loss of its customers could be quickly replaced without any adverse affect.

Miscellaneous

Backlog orders at this time are not significant to either the Company’s or its majority-owned subsidiaries’ areas of operations, or at this time is any portion of their operations subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the United States’ Government.

At this time, neither the Company nor its majority-owned subsidiaries conduct any material research and development activities, except as indicated in this report with respect to the Joint Venture and its mining exploration, exploitation, and development programs in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America.

The Company believes that the United States federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment should not have a substantial effect on the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries as the Company does not have any mining activity in the United States.

The San Sebastian Gold Mine

General Location and Accessibility

The SSGM is situated on a mountainous tract of land consisting of approximately 1,470 acres of explored and unexplored mining prospects. The SSGM is located approximately three miles off of the Pan American Highway, northwest of the city of Santa Rosa de Lima in the Department of La Union, El Salvador. The tract is typical of the numerous volcanic mountains of the coastal range of southeastern El Salvador. The topography is mountainous with elevations ranging from 300 to 1,500 feet above sea level. The mountain slopes are steep, the gulches are well defined, and the drainage is excellent.

There is good roadway access to the SSGM site. The reconstruction of the Pan American Highway from two lanes to four lanes (from the city of San Salvador to the Honduran border) has been completed. The city of Santa Rosa de Lima (approximately three miles from the SSGM) is one of the larger cities in the Eastern Zone. The SSGM is approximately 30 miles from the city of San Miguel, which is El Salvador’s third largest city, and approximately 108 miles southeast of El Salvador’s capital city, San Salvador. SSGM is also approximately 26 miles from the city of La Union which has port and railroad facilities. Major United States’ commercial airlines provide daily scheduled flights to the Comalapa Airport which is located on the outskirts of the city of San Salvador.

SSGM Reserves and Operation

GOLD ORE RESERVES (03/31/07)	Tons	Average Gold Grade (OPT)	Gold Ounces⁽¹⁾
Ore - virgin (includes 960,000 tons of dump material)	14,404,096	0.081	1,166,732
Stope fill (estimated)	1,000,000	0.340	340,000
Total proven reserves	15,404,096		1,506,732
Probable reserve and open pit	122,815,134	0.016	1,948,748
Total proven and probable	138,219,230	0.025	3,455,480

⁽¹⁾

The estimated recoverable ounces of gold by processing: SCMP, 85% to 95%; heap leach, 65% to 70%.

The dump material and stope fill at the SSGM are the by-products of past mining operations. The dump material is actually gold ore which has been mined in the search for higher grades of gold ore and piled to the side of past excavations as it was considered at that time to be too low of a grade of ore to process economically; however, it was reserved for future processing when the price of gold is at a level to process it profitably. The stope fill that is available was in the past (1900 era) considered to be too low of a grade of ore to process economically, therefore it was primarily used to fill the voids in the underground workings to accommodate the extraction of the higher grade of gold ore in the past SSGM mining activities. Virgin gold ore, as the term is used in this report, is gold ore which is on the surface and readily available for processing; it also includes the undeveloped underground gold ore.

At the turn of the twentieth century, the SSGM was rated as one of the richest gold mines in the world. The United Nations’ 1969 Mineral Survey Report states that “unquestionably the San Sebastian deposit was the jewel of the El Salvador mining industry and one of the most prolific gold mines in Central America.”

Virgin gold ore at the SSGM represents the majority of the material (14.4 million tons, including the dump waste material) in the Company’s reserves. The Company plans to use an open-pit mining method and will truck the lower grade gold ore to one or more heap-leaching pads developed at the SSGM site. The use of open-pit mining and heap-leaching techniques will enable the Company to process a higher volume of low grade gold ore than can be processed at the SCMP. The Company plans to continue to operate the SCMP after developing a leach-pad operation at the SSGM, using the facility to process the higher grade ore it encounters in the course of mining at the SSGM. The milling operation at the SCMP is expected to return a higher rate of gold recovery than can be expected from heap-leaching techniques.

Approximately 960,000 tons of dump material present at the SSGM site, with grades ranging from 0.082 to 0.178 ounces of gold per ton, have been combined with the virgin ore reserves. The Company’s consulting geologist who has confirmed that about seven percent of the stope fill had been removed and processed during the 1973-1978 period made an analysis of the underground stope fill material. The grade of the stope fill averages 0.34 ounces of gold per ton. It is estimated that there are about one million tons available for SCMP treatment from the underground operations. It is necessary to remove the material which has caved in the adits to reach the stope fill areas, or it eventually will be encountered in the open-pit operations.

The Company’s geologists determined the probable ore reserves by calculating the gold ore in an area consisting of 3,300 lineal feet in length, 825 lineal feet in width, and 660 feet in depth, to determine the volume. To support these additional reserves, this Company, since July 1987, has completed the following in the SSGM-site: 116,121 lineal feet of 22 miles of surface trenching; 2,162 lineal feet of test pit hole excavation; 42,372 lineal feet of underground adit workings; more than 19,775 feet of diamond core and reverse circulation drilling, and a total of 78,441 fire assays were completed at the Company’s laboratory. Also, there were more than 30 miles of former adit excavations. These samples, extending the diamond core and reverse circulation drilling, reflected a grade of 0.025. Samples from the 30 miles of former underground workings were assayed.

All residue from the contemplated operations will be stockpiled for potential future processing dependent upon the price of gold, improvements in technology, and the depletion of higher grade material.

Misanse Mining Lease

The Company (previously through the Joint Venture) leases the SSGM from Mineral San Sebastian, S.A. de C.V. (“Misanse”), an El Salvadoran corporation. The Company owns 52% of the total of Misanse’s issued and outstanding shares. About 100 El Salvador, Central American and United States’ citizens own the balance of the shares. (Reference is made to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 7, for related party interests.)

SSGM Mining Lease

On January 14, 2003, the Company entered into an amended and renewed lease agreement with Mineral San Sebastian Sociedad Anomina de Capital Variable (Misanse) pursuant to the approval of the Misanse shareholders and directors at a shareholders’ meeting and thereafter at a directors’ meeting both held on January 12, 2003. The renewed lease is for a period to coincide with the term of its Renewed SSGM, which it received on August 29, 2003 from the DHM. It was automatically amended on May 20, 2004 to coincide with the extension of the term of the Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License from 20 to 30 years. The lease is automatically extendible for one or more equal periods. The Company will pay to Misanse for the rental of this real estate the sum of five percent of the sales of the gold and silver produced from this real estate, however, the payment will not be less than $343.00 per month. The Company has the right to assign this lease without prior notice or permission from Misanse. This lease is pledged as collateral for loans made to related parties (Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 7).

Misanse Mineral Concession/License-Government of El Salvador

In El Salvador, the rights to minerals below the sub-surface are vested with the government. The government through concessions or licenses grants mineral rights. Reference is made to the San Sebastian Gold Mine map and the exploration and exploitation maps that follow.

On January 27, 1987, the Government of El Salvador granted a right to the SSGM mining concession (“concession”) to Misanse which was subject to the performance of the El Salvador Mining Law requirements. These rights were simultaneously assigned to the Joint Venture.

On July 23, 1987, the Government of El Salvador delivered and granted to Misanse, possession of the mining concession. At that time this provided the right to extract minerals and export gold and silver for a term of 25 years (plus a 25-year renewal option) beginning on the first day of production from the real estate which encompasses the SSGM owned by Misanse. Misanse assigned this concession to the Joint Venture.

Effective February 1996, the Government of El Salvador passed a law which required mining companies to pay to it three percent of its gross gold sale receipts and an additional one percent is to be paid to the El Salvador municipality which has jurisdiction of the mine site. As of July 2001, a series of revisions to the El Salvador Mining Law were made. A principal change is that the fee payable to the GOES has been reduced to two percent of the gross gold and silver receipts.

Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License under El Salvador Agreement Number 591 dated May 20, 2004 and delivered on June 4, 2004 (Renewed SSGM) - approximately 1.2306 square kilometers (304 acres) located in the Department of La Union, El Salvador, Central America

On September 6, 2002, at a meeting held with the El Salvadoran Minister of Economy and the Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM), it was agreed to submit an application for the Renewed SSGM for a 30-year term and to simultaneously cancel the concession obtained on July 23, 1987. On September 26, 2002, the Company filed this application. On February 28, 2003 (received March 3, 2003) the DHM admitted to the receipt of the application and the Company proceeded to file public notices as required by Article 40 of the El Salvadoran Mining Law and its Reform (MLIR). On April 16, 2003, the Company’s El Salvadoran legal counsel filed with the DHM notice that it believed that it complied with the requirements of Article 40, and that there were no objections; and requested that the DHM make its inspection as required by MLIR Article 42. An inspection by the DHM was made. The Company then provided a bond which was required by the DHM to protect third parties against any damage caused from the mining operations, and it simultaneously paid the annual surface tax. On August 29, 2003 the Office of the Ministry of Economy formally presented the Company with a twenty-year Renewed SSGM which was dated August 18, 2003. On May 20, 2004 (delivered June 4, 2004) the Government of El Salvador under this Agreement Number 591 extended the exploitation concession for a period of thirty (30) years. This Renewed SSGM replaces the collateral that the same parties held with the previous concession.

New SSGM Exploration Concession/License under El Salvador Resolution Number 27 (New SSGM) - approximately 40.7694 square kilometers (10,070 acres) located in the Departments of La Union and Morazan, El Salvador, Central America

On October 20, 2002, the Company applied to the Government of El Salvador through the DHM for the New SSGM, which covers an area of 42 square kilometers and includes approximately 1.2306 square kilometers of the Renewed SSGM. The New SSGM is in the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Rosa de Lima in the Department of La Union, Republic of El Salvador, Central America. On February 24, 2003, the DHM issued the New SSGM for a period of four years starting from the date of December 27, 2003, following the notification of this resolution which was received on March 3, 2003. The New SSGM may be extended for two two-year periods, or for a total of eight years. This concession is in the process of being renewed for a period of four years. Besides the San Sebastian Gold Mine, the following three other formerly operative gold and silver mines included in the New SSGM are being explored: the La Lola Mine, the Santa Lucia Mine, and the Tabanco Mine. Historical data reflects the following:

A French company operated the La Lola Mine in 1920; they developed two quartz veins, which were named La Lola and Buena Vista. From 1950 through 1953, Mr. Amadeo Tinetti produced 1,850 ounces of gold and 66,000 ounces of silver.

The Tabanco Mine is south of the La Lola Mine. Records evidence and local citizens confirm that several levels of mining occurred. Isolated rich ore shoots reported to contain sulfides and silver chloride were encountered. The oxidized sulfide ore was mined from a width of three to six feet with a grade of 0.50 ounces per ton of gold and five ounces of silver. Records reflect that the Herrera family produced gold and silver beginning in the year 1780.

In the Tepeyac vein very high-grade ore in one to two foot widths was encountered. A United Nation’s team performed sampling and reported that in a sulfide bearing zone they found 0.31 ounces of gold and 4.52 ounces of silver in a 4.9 foot wide vein. The footwall host rock assayed at 0.22 ounces of gold and 41.29 ounces of silver. This footwall rock area location was not specifically identified, but the result lends strength to the recommendation that in any further sampling or mapping of veins in the epithermal environment, close attention will be directed to the wall rock.

The third mine in this exploration concession is the Santa Lucia Mine in which Mr. Humberto Perla developed a 100 meter wide underground vein. This vein is the west continuation of the Granadilla and the Año Nuevo veins located about two miles west of the SSGM property.

Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession/License (Nueva Esparta) Resolution Number 271 - 45 square kilometers (11,115 acres) located in the Departments of La Union and Morazan, El Salvador, Central America

On or about October 20, 2002, the Company filed an application with the Government of El Salvador through the DHM for the Nueva Esparta, which consists of 45 square kilometers north and adjacent to the New SSGM. This rectangular area is in the Departments of La Union (east) and Morazan (west) and in the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Rosa de Lima, El Salvador, Central America. On May 25, 2004 (received June 4, 2004) the Government of El Salvador under Resolution Number 271 issued the exploration concession for a period of four years with a right to request an additional four year extension. An important observation is that these mines form a belt of mineralization following a fault line from the SSGM to the Montemayor Mine for a distance of approximately five miles. Included in the Nueva Esparta are eight other formerly-operated gold and silver mines known as: the Grande Mine, the Las Piñas Mine, the Oro Mine, the Montemayor Mine, the Bañadero Mine, the Carrizal Mine, the La Joya Mine and the Copetillo Mine. Historical data reflects the following:

The Montemayor Mine has records that show that an English company commenced production of precious metals sometime about 1860. A report prepared by Mr. Fleury in 1878 stated that the area assayed approximately 48 ounces of silver and 0.85 ounces of gold per ton. Six underground workings were developed, but no records are available. A United Nation’s report reflects a possible grade of twelve ounces of silver and 0.29 ounces of gold from a section of the Montemayor vein stope. The Montañita, Tempique, Guarumo, Santa Gertrudis and El Indio vein findings support expanded exploration. The Company has performed preliminary exploration in the Montemayor Mine area from 1995 through 1997. Its findings from the ore samples were very positive and encouraged additional exploration. Exploration will consist of locating workable ore within the known structures through mapping and sampling of vein outcrops and reopening, mapping and sampling of underground work.

The El Bañadero Mine is located near the Montemayor Mine. When in production, most of the ore processed at the Montemayor mill came from this area and the quality of the precious metals appeared to have the highest values. The veins identified in the area are the Saravia, Borbollon, Caraguito 1 to 3, Eulalio and the Miserocordia.

At the La Joya Mine the Company, during previous exploration, discovered three parallel wide quartz veins averaging in width from six feet to twenty-seven feet running northwest by southeast dipping at 42 degrees southwest. More exploration will be concentrated in this tract.

El Jimenito and Santa Teresa are two wide veins that the Company found at the El Carrizal Mine. They are 1,920 to 2,560 feet apart. The local residents recollect that free gold was found in the Santa Teresa Vein Adit. This mine is located between the La Joya and Copetillo Mines.

One vein was discovered at the Copetillo Mine in an underground adit. It was developed into two sublevels connected to the south with one 100-foot shaft. Residents recall seeing free gold in the Canton Copetillo.

The Las Piñas Mine is located in the Canton Las Cañas and was in operation in 1935. It was developed for a five-year, 100-ton-per-day mill and plant. Records show that the average grade of silver was 5.10 ounces per ton and that the grade of gold averaged 0.06 ounces per ton.

The La Joya Mine is located in the Canton La Joya. Records relating to activities were not preserved. While exploring the region, Commerce found three parallel wide quartz veins ranging from six to 25 feet running northwest to southeast for a distance of over one mile. The grass roots exploration suggests that this is an area with great ore potential.

At this time there is no available information about the Oro Mine. It is a short distance south of the Montemayor Mine. This should be a good exploration target.

SSGM Current Status

The Company, through its Joint Venture is conducting the following activities: It is in the exploration, exploitation, development and pre-production mining stage which consists of completing its survey, mapping, site preparation, infrastructure, construction, planning, and the performance of the auxiliary work needed to resume gold production at the SSGM site. Presently, the Company is seeking funding to purchase equipment, to purchase inventory, and to use for working capital for its on-site proposed open-pit, heap-leaching operation. As an alternate, the Company is considering a joint venture, merger, acquisition, or any other mutually agreed upon business arrangement.

The Company’s main objective and plan, through the Joint Venture, is to operate a moderate tonnage, low-grade, open-pit, heap-leaching operation to produce gold on its SSGM site. Dependent on the funding, the grade of ore, and the tonnage processed, it anticipates producing more than 56,000 ounces of gold from its open-pit, heap-leaching operation during the first twelve full operating months and then gradually increasing the average annual production of gold to 113,000 ounces.

The Company’s plans include placing its SCMP into production. Although it will be a low tonnage operation, the Company believes that it would be profitable since the present price of gold is over $600 an ounce.

Proposed SSGM Open-Pit, Heap-Leaching Operation

The Joint Venture has placed the SCMP into a curbed production operation until it receives the funds that it requires or enters into a business arrangement. It now intends to obtain a sum of $19 million or more to commence an open-pit, heap-leaching operation at the SSGM site. These funds are required to install the crushing system and plant, to purchase mining equipment, and for working capital. The Joint Venture may be able to lease this equipment. When these funds are available, the Joint Venture intends to start processing gold ore from its open pit at a production level of 2,000 tons per day (expected 50,000 ounces annually). During the second year, the production level plans are to expand production to 3,000 tons per day (the funds for this expansion could be generated from profits, with an expectation of 56,000 ounces annually). An increase to process 4,000 tons of gold ore per day would take place during the third year with an expectation of producing 75,000 ounces annually and another expansion to process 6,000 tons per day would take place at the beginning of the fifth year (with an expectation of producing 113,000 ounces annually); all funds for this expansion should be available through a combination of earned profits, borrowings, equity sales, or other creative sources. With the anticipated production volume, there is more than a nine-year supply of gold ore and it is believed that a substantial amount of gold ore can be proven during the production period to continue operating at the same levels for a much longer period.

The Company’s geologists have defined a body of ore consisting of 138 million tons of gold ore at a grade of 0.025 ounces of gold per ton. This reflects a potential of 3.4 million ounces of gold (including the existing 1.5 million ounces) and about 400,000 ounces of silver from this planned open-pit, heap-leaching operation. It would take about 64 years to process this body of gold ore at a production capacity of 6,000 tons per day.

SSGM Ownership of the Property

Misanse, a Salvadoran corporation, owns the San Sebastian Gold Mine real estate consisting of approximately 1,470 acres. The Company owns 52% of Misanse common shares that are issued and outstanding.

San Felipe-El Potosi Mine (“Potosi”) and its extension the El Capulin Mine (“El Capulin”)

Potosi Location

The Joint Venture had commenced an exploration program on the Potosi property which is located approximately 18 miles northwest of the city of San Miguel, the third largest city in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America, on a paved road 15 miles to the city of Chapalteque and then west three miles on a gravel road to the city of Potosi. The historical records and the exploration work performed by the Company indicate that the potential of developing a gold mine is above average.

Potosi Lease Agreement

The Joint Venture entered into a lease agreement with the San Felipe Potosi Cooperative (“Cooperative”) of the city of Potosi, El Salvador on July 6, 1993, to lease the real estate for a period of 30 years, with an option to renew the lease for an additional 25 years, for the purpose of mining and extracting minerals. Although the Company did not receive a concession/license from the DHM, it is preserving its rights under the lease agreement.

Modesto Mine

Modesto Mine Location

The Modesto Mine is located due north of the town of El Paisnal, approximately 19 miles north of the capital city, San Salvador, in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America.

Modesto Mine Present Status

On or about September 2, 1993, the Joint Venture, acting as a nominee through one of its employees, filed an application with the DHM to explore the 4,000 hectares (9,800 acres) of property known as the Modesto Mine. The application, together with the consent to explore this area from the property owners owning more than 25% of total area, has been submitted to the DHM. Also, the Joint Venture had submitted its original plan to this governmental agency on January 24, 1994, outlining its exploration program. In order to comply with the current mining regulations adopted by the Government of El Salvador during February 1996, the Joint Venture filed an exploration concession application on April 21, 1997.

After completing the necessary surveying, mapping and planning, the Joint Venture proceeded to clean and trench the surface and adit vein exposure. Since August 1993, 3,084 metric feet of surface channel trenching (10,177 feet) and 866 meters (2,858 feet) of adit cleaning were completed. In addition, four inclines have been excavated for entry. A total of 4,027 fire assay samples were performed revealing an average grade of 0.035 ounces per ton. The Joint Venture suspended its exploration during July 1997 as the Government of El Salvador awarded the concession of the property to another mining company. The Company believes that it owns the title to key property; therefore permission from the Company will be required before entry can be made by others. The Joint Venture, upon advice of legal counsel, intends to file an application for a concession (license) on the property it owns.

Montemayor Mine (“Montemayor”)

Montemayor Location/Ownership

The Joint Venture has obtained leases for more than 175 acres of the surface rights from a number of property owners which permit the Joint Venture to enter their property for the purpose of exploring, exploiting and developing the property and then, if feasible, to mine and extract minerals from this property. The term of this permission is for an infinite period. The Company believes that this leased real estate contains the “heart” of the mine. Montemayor is located about 14 miles northeast of the SCMP, six miles northwest of the SSGM and about two and one-half miles east of the city of San Francisco Gotera in the Department of Morazan, Republic of El Salvador. Historical records evidence that the potential for the Montemayor to become an exploration and development silver-gold producing prospect is excellent.

San Cristobal Mill and Plant (“SCMP”) Recovery and Processing System

SCMP Location

SCMP is located near the city of El Divisadero (bordering the Pan American Highway), and is approximately 13 miles east of the city of San Miguel, the third largest city in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America.

SCMP Lease Agreement

Although the Joint Venture owns the mill, plant and related equipment, it does not own the land and certain buildings.

On November 12, 1993, the Joint Venture entered into an agreement with Corporacion Salvadorena de Inversiones (“Corsain”), an El Salvadoran governmental agency, to lease for a period of ten years (expiring November 12, 1993), approximately 166 acres of land and buildings on which its gold processing mill, plant and related equipment (the SCMP) are located, and which is approximately 15 miles west of the SSGM site. The basic annual lease payment was U.S. $11,500, payable annually in advance, unless otherwise amended, and subject to an annual increase based on the annual United States’ inflation rate. As agreed, a security deposit of U.S. $11,500 was paid on the same date and this deposit was subject to increases based on any United States’ inflationary rate adjustments.

On April 26, 2004, a three-year lease, which includes an automatic additional three-year extension subject to Corsain’s review, was executed by and between Corsain and the Company. This lease is retroactive to November 12, 2003 and the monthly lease payments are $1,418.51 plus the El Salvadoran added value tax. The lease is subject to an annual increase based on the U.S. annual inflationary rate adjustments. This lease agreement expired, however the Company’s legal counsel is attempting to resolve the amount due for the inflation increases during the period of November 12, 2003 through November 12, 2005. The SCMP is strategically located to process ore from other mining projects.

SCMP Mill and Plant Process Description

Current Status

The SCMP (a precious metal cyanidation carbon-in-leach system) has a capacity of processing up to 200 tons of virgin ore per day. The following units of operations are required: crushing, grinding, thickening, agitated leaching and recovery of precious metals via a carbon-in-leach (CIL) system.

The SCMP has been designed to process up to 500 tons of virgin ore per day. The SCMP operations were suspended as of December 31, 1999, as the plant, equipment, and facilities have been placed on a care and maintenance status until such time as the Company has sufficient funds to complete a major overhaul in order to place it into operating condition to increase the SCMP’s processing capacity from 200 to 500 tons per day and at a time the price of gold is stabilized to assure a profit.

SCMP Project Operating Plan

Current and Anticipated Production Schedule

Preproduction development, consisting primarily of expansive road and site improvements to the mine and mill sites, mill equipment modifications and the development and hauling of virgin ore has taken place during the past years. Initial production from April 1, 1995 was from the SSGM tailings. After the SSGM tailings’ resource was exhausted, virgin gold ore was excavated from the SSGM surface (Coseguina area) and hauled to the SCMP site for processing.

The other sources of gold ore from the SSGM to be used at the SCMP operation will be obtained from the stope fill or higher grade gold ore after obtaining access via the underground workings or from the surface of the main ore body. This gold ore will have to be crushed and pulverized, which increases the cost, but is expected to yield a 90% or higher recovery. The income, dependent on the market price of gold from the higher grade and recovery of gold ore, is expected to be substantially more than the cost involved, providing that the world gold market price does not decline to a level of unprofitability.

The gold ore from the SSGM open-pit was loaded onto 20-25 ton dump trucks for transport to the SCMP. Trucks then hauled the gold ore on the Pan American Highway approximately 15 miles from the SSGM. Mine employees are responsible for the mining activities including the determination of areas to be excavated, trucking and loading operations, head sampling and sample analysis.

The gold ore was received at the SCMP where it was weighed, logged, and sampled. Weighing is performed utilizing a conveyor belt scale and/or a truck scale located on the SCMP site. The excess gold ore was then unloaded at the SCMP site and stockpiled in an area which was developed to allow storage of more than 50,000 tons.

Environmental Matters

Reference is made to San Sebastian Gold Mine “Environmental Matters.” The same information applies. On March 15, 2006, the Office of the El Salvadoran Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) issued an environmental permit (Resolution 3026-003-2006) relative to the Renewed SSGM Exploitation Concession and the San Cristobal Mill and Plant. On or about September 13, 2006, MARN revoked both permits. For more details, reference is made to page 12, “Environmental Matters” and to Item 3. Litigation.

The Joint Venture Laboratories (Lab)

The Joint Venture has two laboratories: one located at the SCMP facilities and the other on real estate owned by the Company near the SSGM site. A total of 78,441 samples of exploration fire assays have been logged through March 31, 2007. This total does not include the assays that were performed for production purposes.

Corporate Headquarters

The Company leases approximately 4,032 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters on the second floor of the building known as the General Building located at 6001 North 91st Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at a monthly rental charge of $2,789 on a month-to-month basis. The lessor is General Lumber & Supply Co., Inc. (“General Lumber”), a Wisconsin corporation. The Company’s President, Edward L. Machulak, owns 55% of the common stock of General Lumber. Edward L. Machulak disclaims any interest in the balance of General Lumber common stock which is owned by relatives, his wife, and a trust formed for the benefit of his children. In addition, the Company shares proportionately any increase in real property taxes and any increase in general fire and extended coverage insurance on the property. In lieu of cash payment, the Lessor has agreed to apply the monthly rental payments owed to the secured open-ended, on-demand promissory note(s) due to it.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

There is no pending litigation in the United States. However, in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America, the Company’s El Salvadoran legal counsel on December 6, 2006, filed a complaint with the El Salvadoran Supreme Court Administrative Division claiming that the El Salvadoran Office of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, (MARN) has revoked two of its El Salvadoran environmental permits for mining exploitation, without any prior notice, without a right to a hearing and without the right of due process, based on misguided assertions, and contrary to El Salvadoran law. In addition, the Company’s legal counsel stated that there is a lack of legal foundation for the sanctions and excess authority exercised by MARN. For more details, reference is made to page 12, “Environmental Matters.”

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were brought to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto contain detailed information that should be referred to in conjunction with this discussion.

Overview

Today Commerce is a company with substantial gold and silver ore reserves and a great potential for increasing its gold and silver ore reserves. The Company is in the precious metals exploration, exploitation, development, production business with all of its mines presently located in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America. The Company’s objective and goals are to increase shareholder value by increasing its gold and silver ore reserves within the concession/license areas granted to the Company by the Government of El Salvador (GOES) and then by processing its reserves at an above average profit. Substantial capital expenditures are required to find, develop and process gold ore. The Company’s geologists and engineers believe that its existing precious metal reserves can be substantially increased by continuous and expanded exploration. The Company will strive to operate its properties in an efficient manner to maximize the cash flow and earnings. The strategies to accomplish these goals include commencement of production of gold and silver when adequate funding is available, increasing its gold and silver ore reserves by a more aggressive exploration program, entering into a joint venture or similar creative relationship with respected partners, continuing the good relationship established over the past 38 years with its employees, continuing its relationship with the El Salvadoran Government, earning profits and respecting the citizens surrounding its mining properties.

The Company is determined to obtain the capital it requires to produce gold at its San Cristobal Mill and Plant facilities and to construct an open-pit, heap-leach operation on its San Sebastian Gold Mine site which is located approximately two and one half miles off of the Pan American highway northwest of the City of Santa Rosa de Lima in the Department of La Union, El Salvador.

All of our gold and silver ore reserves are located in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America, in the Departments of La Union and Morazan. Our geologists have defined the following reserves:

			Ounces

Total Acreage

The San Sebastian Gold Mine has four contiguous target areas in the 10,070 acre area (1,573 square miles): the San Sebastian Gold Mine; the Coseguina Hill; the San Juan Hill; and the El Salazar area. Most of the exploration has been conducted on the San Sebastian Gold Mine, the Coseguina Hill and the El Salazar area. Very little exploration has been performed on the San Juan Hill. The prospects of finding additional commercial grades of ore potentially at the recent gold price is above average. A large part of the San Sebastian Gold Mine remains unexplored. Also included in the New SSGM concession are four formerly-operated mines. They are: the San Sebastian Gold Mine; the La Lola Mine; the Tabanco Mine; and the Santa Lucia Mine. The Company presently is exploring all four of these mines.

The Nueva Esparta concession consists of 11,115 acres (17.36 square miles) of land to explore. Included in the concession are eight formerly-operated gold and silver mines: the Grande Mine; the Las Pinas Mine; the Oro Mine; the Montemayor Mine; the Banadero Mine; the Carrizal Mine, the La Joya Mine and the Copetillo Mine. At the La Joya – Montemayor Mine, the Company discovered a surface vein that as of this writing is over one and one half miles in length and about five to over thirty feet in width. This area is targeted to be one of the first areas to be drilled.

Reserves and Mineralized Material

As of March 31, 2007, the Company has reported proven, probable and possible mineral reserves of up to 3.4 million ounces of gold at part of its San Sebastian Gold Mine and has reported mineralized material on a number of its properties. When the Company is producing gold and silver or are developing a mine the Company estimates its ore reserves on at least an annual basis. The Company has updated its mineralized material estimates from time to time as the information is obtained.

There are a number of uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and mineralized material, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Ore reserve and mineralized material estimates are based upon engineering evaluations of assay values derived from samplings of drill-holes and other openings. Additionally, declines in the market price of gold may render certain reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to mine at this time. Further, availability of permits, changes in operating and capital costs, and other factors could materially and adversely affect ore reserves. The Company uses its ore reserve estimates in determining the unit basis for mine depreciation and amortization of closure costs. Changes in ore reserve estimates could significantly affect these items.

The carbon-in-leach process will be used to produce gold at the SSGM. As the solution percolates through the heap, gold is dissolved from the ore into solution. This solution is collected and processed with activated carbon, which precipitates the gold out of solution and onto the carbon. Through the subsequent processes of acid washing and pressure stripping, the gold is returned to a solution in a more highly concentrated state. This concentrated solution of gold is then processed in an electrowinning circuit, which re-precipitates the gold onto cathodes for melting into gold doré bars.

When the Company was in production certain estimates regarding this overall process are required for inventory accounting and reserve reporting, the most significant of which are the amount and timing of gold to be recovered. Although the Company can calculate with reasonable certainty the tonnage and grades of gold ore placed under the mill process system and laboratory analysis, the recovery and timing factors are influenced by the grade of the ore under leach and the particular mineralogy of a deposit being mined. The Company’s estimates are based on laboratory leaching models which approximate the recovery from gold ore under leach. From this data the Company estimates the amount of gold that can be recovered and the time it will take for recovery. The Company continually monitors the actual monthly and cumulative recovery from the carbon-in-leach process as a check against the laboratory models.

The Company has no revenues because it is not in production and it requires funds to purchase the necessary equipment, inventory and working capital to commence processing the 15 million ton ore reserves which should contain approximately 1.5 million ounces of gold. The Company is determined to raise sufficient capital to enter into production. It plans to joint venture, merge, be acquired or enter into a business combination that will benefit all parties concerned.

The Company believes that it requires at least $30 million (net) in funding for the expansion of its exploration opportunities and to resume its production of gold and silver from its San Sebastian Gold Mine located near the City of Santa Rosa de Lima, Republic of El Salvador, Central America. The Company presently plans to use the $30 million as follows:

To resume the production of gold and silver within six months at its San Cristobal Mill and Plant using its higher grade ore, its funding needs amount to (average expected annual production 12,000 ounces of gold)	U.S. $4 million net
To set up an open-pit, heap-leach operation at the San Sebastian Gold Mine site within nine months (average expected annual production for the first seven years and thereafter, 100,000 ounces of gold)	U.S. $19 million net
For preliminary exploration to start within 30 days for a part or for all of the 10,000 acres of the New San Sebastian Gold Mine area consisting of three former mine operations up to	U.S. $2 million net
For preliminary exploration to begin within 30 days for a part or for all of the 11,000 acres of the Nueva Esparta concession consisting of eight former mine operations up to	U.S. $2 million net
Contingent fund availability, inflation costs and for accelerating the above projects	U.S. $3 million net
Total	U.S. $30 million net

All of the Company’s mines are located in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America. The Government of El Salvador (GOES) via the Ministry of Economy’s office has issued the following three concessions:

On or about May 20, 2004, the Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License (Renewed SSGM) was issued by the GOES for a period of 30 years. This gives the Company the right to extract and process its ore reserves to produce gold and silver from the San Sebastian Gold Mine site. The Company’s geologists have determined that there are approximately 1.2 million ounces of gold/silver in the 14.4 million tons of ore and they have estimated that there are an additional 340,000 ounces of gold/silver contained in the one million tons of stope fill.

On or about February 27, 2003, the GOES granted to the Company the New San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploration Concession/License (New SSGM) consisting of approximately 10,070 acres which encompass the Renewed SSGM Exploitation Concession/License. This exploration concession is in the process of being renewed. This concession gives the right to exploration of the subsurface in this area. In this area there are three formerly operated mines: La Lola Mine, Santa Lucia Mine and Tabanco Mine. Presently the Company is performing exploration work at the Tabanco and La Lola Mine area.

On May 25, 2004 the GOES granted to the Company the Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession/License consisting of 11,115 acres of area to explore. This concession abuts the New SSGM Exploration Concession/License and it has eight formerly operated gold/silver mines: the Grande Mine, the Las Piñas Mine, the Oro Mine, the Montemayor Mine, the Bañadero Mine, the Carrizal Mine, the La Joya Mine and the Copetillo Mine. The Company did exploration work on the Montemayor Mine from 1995 - 1997 and it has resumed its exploration work in these mines.

The Company is a U.S. Wisconsin chartered corporation engaged in exploration, exploitation, development and gold and silver production with its primary asset being the San Sebastian Gold Mine (SSGM). The SSGM is located in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America and produced over one million ounces of gold during the 1900-1917 period The Company became involved as an investor and then as a majority owner. Gold and silver was produced from mid-1972 through the first quarter of 1978. The suspension was caused by the El Salvador civil unrest which peace pact was entered into in December 1992 conditioned upon meeting the terms and conditions of this peace agreement during a three-year period. Production of gold and silver commenced on April 1, 1995 and the operations were suspended during the first quarter of 2000 due to the low selling price of gold (lowest price about $252) at that time and the need to retrofit, restore and expand the San Cristobal Mill and Plant (SCMP). The Company presently is seeking funds to restore the SCMP and to set up an open-pit, heap-leach operation at the SSGM site. Its alternative is to joint venture or to enter into a merger or other business combination.

Financing Activities, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company wants to proceed with its plan to re-start its San Cristobal Mill and Plant operations, but it will require financing for the expansion of its production capacity from 200 to 500 tons per day and to retrofit this plant. In order to obtain funding there are multiple sources which could include private equity investment, public equity offering, debt, and other forms of creative funding approaches.

Additional equipment has to be purchased, delivered and installed and the SCMP has to be retrofitted, overhauled and its production capacity should be expanded.

The Company will endeavor to commence an open-pit, heap-leaching operation at the SSGM as there is a substantial amount of gold ore that grades less than 0.04 ounces per ton. The Company’s engineers had determined that a 2,000 ton-per-day open-pit, heap-leach, start-up operation should produce approximately 1,280 ounces of gold per month. It is necessary to raise adequate funds from outside sources for this operation; the amount required is dependent on the targeted daily volume of production.

The Company estimates that it will need up to U.S. $19 million to start a 2,000 ton-per-day open-pit, heap-leaching operation. Eventually the production capacity would be increased in stages to 6,000 tons per day so that annual production could be 113,000 ounces of gold at the SSGM. The use of the $19,000,000 proceeds is as follows: $8,745,000 for mining equipment and the completion of erecting a crushing system; $4,010,560 for the processing equipment and site and infrastructure costs; and a sum of $6,244,440 is to be used for working capital. The once depressed price of gold has substantially increased during the last two years. The Company’s incredibly low common share market price is a major deterrent in raising cash for the Company’s programs.

The Company continues to be cognizant of its cash liquidity until it is able to produce adequate profits from its SSGM gold production. It will attempt to obtain sufficient funds to assist the Joint Venture in placing the SSGM into production as the anticipated profits from the existing SCMP operation (unless accumulated over a period of time) appear insufficient to meet the SSGM capital and the other mining exploration requirements. In order to continue obtaining funds to conduct the Joint Venture’s exploration, exploitation, development, expansion programs, and the production of gold from the SSGM open-pit, heap-leaching operation, it is necessary for the Company to obtain funds from outside sources. The Company may have to borrow funds by issuing open-ended, secured, on-demand or unsecured promissory notes, by selling its shares to its directors, officers and other interested accredited investors, or by entering into a joint venture, merging, or developing an acceptable form of a business combination with others.

During the past, the Joint Venture was engaged in exploration, exploitation and development programs designed to increase its gold ore reserves. The prospects of expanding the gold reserves are positive. The Company believes that the past invested funds significantly contributed to the value of the SSGM and to the value of its other mining prospects as the results of the exploratory efforts evidence the potential for a substantial increase of gold ore reserves. The Company was unable to obtain sufficient funds during this fiscal year to complete the modification and expansion of the SCMP or for its open-pit, heap-leach operation. However, the Company did invest funds during this fiscal period, which were used to progress the erection of the cone crushing system, to maintain the SCMP, and to continue exploration.

The Company continues to rely on its directors, officers, related parties and others for its funding needs. The Company believes that it may be able to obtain such short-term and/or equity funds as are required from similar sources as it has in the past. It further believes that the funding needed to proceed with the continued exploration of the other exploration targets for the purpose of increasing its gold ore reserves will be greatly enhanced if the price of gold stays at the current or higher level. These exploration programs will involve airborne geophysics, stream chemistry, geological mapping, trenching, drilling, etc. The Joint Venture believes that it may be able to joint venture or enter into other business arrangements to share these exploration costs with other entities.

From September 1987 through March 31, 2007, the Company has advanced the sum of $62,925,723 to the Joint Venture (which includes interest charges payable to the Company), and three of the Company’s subsidiaries have advanced the sum of $590,265, for a total of $63,515,988. This investment includes the charge of $43,853,373 for interest expense during this period of time. The funds invested in the Joint Venture were used primarily for the exploration, exploitation, and development of the SSGM, for the construction of the Joint Venture laboratory facilities on real estate owned by the Company near the SSGM site, for the operation of the laboratory, for the purchase of a 200-ton per day used SCMP precious metals’ cyanide leaching mill and plant, for the initial retrofitting, repair, modernization and expansion of its SCMP facilities, for consumable inventory, for working capital, for exploration and holding costs of the San Felipe-El Potosi Mine, the Modesto Mine, the Montemayor Mine, the La Joya Mine, the Tabanco Mine and the La Lola Mine, for SSGM infrastructure, including rewiring, repairing and installation of over two miles of the Company’s electric power lines to provide electrical service, for the purchase of equipment, laboratory chemicals, and supplies, for parts and supply inventory, for the maintenance of the Company-owned dam and reservoir, for extensive road extension and preservation, for its participation in the construction of a community bridge, for community telephone building and facilities, for a community place of worship, for the purchase of the real estate on the Modesto Mine, for leasing the Montemayor real estate, for the purchase and erection of a cone crushing system, for diamond drilling at the SSGM, for the purchase of a rod mill and a carbon regeneration system, for holding costs, and for many other related needs.

Debt

Most of the debt is owed to related parties as follows:

	Related Parties	Others	Total
Accounts payable - Commerce	$ 108,372	$ 5,922	$ 114,294
Accounts payable - Comseb	241,173	12,456	253,629

Although the majority of the short-term obligations are due on demand, most of the obligations have the attributes of being long-term obligations as most of the debt is due to related parties who have not called for payment during the past five or more years.

Cash Deposits and Surety Bonds

The Company was required to provide cash deposits or surety bonds in connection with obtaining its mining concessions and environmental permits.

El Salvador Ministry of Environment Requirements:

The El Salvador Ministry of Economy exploitation concession for the Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession No. 591 dated May 20, 2004 required a three-year, third-party liability guarantee (bond) which was renewed commencing on February 17, 2006 through February 17, 2009 in the sum of $42,857.14. It was issued by Seguros del Pacifico, S.A., an El Salvadoran bonding and insurance company.

A bond in an amount of $771.49 is required in connection with the environmental permit issued on October 15, 2002 under MARN Resolution No. 474-2002 for the San Cristobal Mill and Plant. This bond was originally issued on October 15, 2003 for a period of three years. The Company believes that it was renewed. The environmental concession was revoked without notice, cause, or reason by MARN Resolution No. 3249-779-2006 dated July 5, 2006. The notice was first delivered to the Company on or about September 13, 2006.

A bond in an amount of $14,428.68 is required in connection with the environmental permits issued on October 20, 2002 under MARN Resolution No. 493-2002 for the Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation permit. This permit was renewed on March 15, 2006 for a term of three years and an audit by MARN was made. The environmental permit was revalidated on June 23, 2006. MARN delivered its revocation of the environmental permit, Resolution No. 3026-783-2006 dated July 6, 2006 on or about September 13, 2006.

On or about December 6, 2006, the Company’s El Salvadoran attorney filed a complaint against the Ministry of Environment with the Honorable Court of Administrative Litigation of the Supreme Court of Justice stating that the Ministry of Environment violated the right of a notice, hearing and due process, that there is a lack of legal foundation for the sanctions, use of excess authority, and contrary to the El Salvadoran law.

Results of Operation for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to March 31, 2006

There are no revenues as the Company has suspended its gold production until it is able to enter into a business arrangement or is able to procure the funds it requires to rehabilitate, retrofit, overhaul, and expand its SCMP to commence an open-pit, heap-leach gold producing operation at the SSGM site. The price of gold has stabilized at a price level that could assure a profitable operation. The Company recorded a net loss of $173,197 or $.01 cents per share for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This compares to a net loss of $162,085 or $.01 cents per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

There was no current or deferred provision for income taxes during the fiscal period ended March 31, 2007 or 2006. Additionally, even though the Company has an operating tax loss carry forward, the Company has previously recorded a net deferred tax asset due to an assessment of the “more likely than not” realization criteria required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Taxes.

Since the Company was not in production, inflation did not have a material impact on operations in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 or 2006. The Company does not anticipate that inflation will have a material impact on continuing operations during the next fiscal year unless the Company is producing gold and silver.

The costs for fuel will be a significant operating expense when production commences. It is expected that continued high fuel costs and increased costs of hiring and retaining qualified mining personnel with the required specialized skills to operate and manage a mining operation will have a potential significant impact on continuing operations in the future.

Interest expense in the sum of $2,443,624 was recorded by the Company during this fiscal period compared to $2,047,339 for the same period in 2006, and it was eliminated with the interest income earned from the Joint Venture.

Almost all of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company are allocated and charged to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture capitalizes these costs and expenses and will continue to do so until such time when it is in production. At the time production commences, these capitalized costs will be charged as an expense based on a per unit basis. If the prospect of gold production becomes unlikely, all of these costs will be written off in the year that this occurs.

Almost all of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company are allocated and charged to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture capitalizes these costs and expenses and will continue to do so until such time when it is in full production. At the time production commences, these capitalized costs will be charged as an expense based on a per unit basis. If the prospect of gold production becomes unlikely, all of these costs will be written off in the year that this occurs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The ensuing discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and contained within this report on S.E.C. Form 10-K. Certain amounts included in or affecting the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring that certain assumptions be made with respect to values or conditions which cannot be made with certainty at the time the financial statements are prepared. Therefore, the reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and associated disclosures with respect to contingent assets and obligations are necessarily affected by these estimates. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates and units-of-production amortization determination; recoverability and timing of gold production from the heap-leaching process; environmental, reclamation and closure obligations; asset impairments (including estimates of future cash flows); useful lives and residual values of intangible assets; fair value of financial instruments; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; non monetary transactions; and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following significant assumptions and estimates affect its more critical practices and accounting policies used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

A critical accounting policy is one that is important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and requires the Company to make difficult subjective and/or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies cover accounting matters that are inherently uncertain because the future resolution of such matters is unknown. The Company believes the following accounting policies are critical policies; accounting for its gold ore reserves, environmental liabilities, income taxes and asset retirement obligations.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the financial statement date. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those amounts.

Gold ore reserves include reserves that represent estimated quantities of gold in which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reserves under existing economic and operating conditions. The gold ore reserves are based on estimates prepared by geology and mining consultants and are used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) and determine if any potential impairment exists related to the recorded value of the Company’s gold ore reserves. Decline in the market price of gold may render certain reserves containing relatively lower grade of mineralization uneconomic to mine. Changes in capital and operating costs including other factors could materially and adversely affect ore reserves.

The Company reviews, on an as needed basis, its estimates of costs of compliance with environmental laws and the cleanup of various sites, including sites in which governmental agencies have designated the Company as a potentially responsible party. When it is probable that obligations have been incurred and where a minimum cost or a reasonable estimate of the actual costs of compliance or remediation can be determined, the applicable amount is accrued. Actual costs can differ from estimates due to changes in laws and regulations, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in technology.

The Company makes certain estimates, which may include various tax planning strategies, in determining taxable income, the timing of deductions and the utilization of tax attributes, which can differ from estimates due to changes in laws and regulations, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes in technology.

Management is required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations on the future abandonment cost, net of salvage value, of its mining properties and equipment. The Company reviews its estimate of the future obligation periodically and will accrue the estimated obligation based on the SFAS No. 143 “Account for Asset Retirement Obligations.”

From time to time, the Company estimates its ore reserves when it is in production. There are a number of uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves, including many factors beyond the control of the Company. Ore reserve estimates are based upon engineering evaluations of assay values derived from samplings of drill holes and other openings. Additionally, declines in the market price of gold may render certain reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to mine. Further, availability of permits, changes in operating and capital costs, and other factors could materially and adversely affect ore reserves. The Company uses its ore reserve estimates in determining the unit basis for mine depreciation and closure rates, as well as in evaluating mine asset impairments. Changes in ore reserve estimates could significantly affect these items.

The Company will assess its producing properties and undeveloped mineral claims and leases for impairment when events or changes in circumstances warrant and at least annually. For producing properties and equipment, an impairment is recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result in the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on discounted cash flows. Undeveloped mineral claims and leases are measured on a fair value basis. Fair value with respect to such mineral interest, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective January 1, 2002, would generally be assessed with reference to comparable property sales transactions in the market place.

The Company at least annually plans to assess its properties and undeveloped mineral claims and leases, if any, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the properties may be impaired. For producing properties and equipment, an impairment is recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result in the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on discounted cash flows. Undeveloped mineral claims and leases are measured on a fair value basis. Fair value with respect to such mineral interest, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective January 1, 2002, would generally be assessed with reference to comparable property sales transaction in the market place. The expected values associated with potential property development are estimated using the traditional net present value analysis of revenues, costs and capital investment cash flow projections discounted at a risk-adjusted rate reflective to the time periods associated with each possible outcome. Assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties. Also, the occurrence of past market transactions does not mean that such comparable amounts would be applicable to the Company’s situation. Any differences between significant assumptions and market conditions could have a material effect on the fair value estimate.

The financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and prior years reflect and include Commerce Group Corp.’s subsidiaries and the Commerce Group Corp./Sanseb Joint Venture (Joint Venture) on a consolidated basis. Previously, the Company reported the investment in the Joint Venture as advances to the Joint Venture and the Company’s advances included the interest earned on these advances in anticipation of the interest being reimbursed. Now these advances are restated and combined with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Although the elimination of interest income reduces the retained earnings, it does not eliminate the interest charged by and earned by the Company which is due and payable to it and which is maintained additionally with a separate accounting. At such time when the profits from the gold mining operation are distributed, the interest earned on these advances will be paid first to the Company pursuant to an agreement entered into by the joint venture parties.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Company was able to segregate the disbursements to the Joint Venture to identify the category to be charged. Reference is made to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 2, for additional details.

Precious Metal Mining Strategy

The Company has produced gold from 1972 through March 1978 at the SSGM site and from March 31, 1995 through December 31, 1999 at its SCMP. Its SCMP consisted primarily of used equipment that had been installed at its leased site by a previous mining company. The used processing equipment was acquired by the Joint Venture on February 23, 1993, and the SCMP operations were officially suspended as of March 31, 2000. During this period, the price of gold suffered a severe decline.

Although while in operation at the SCMP site the Company has on a continuous basis repaired, maintained, modified, and restored the equipment, it presently lacks sufficient funds to retrofit and to expand the SCMP facilities.

The Company has temporarily suspended its gold processing until such time as it has adequate funds for the retrofitting, rehabilitation, restoration, overhauling, and most importantly for the expansion of the SCMP facilities. During the last two fiscal periods, the price of gold has increased to a level to place the SCMP operation into a profitable position.

The Company has a number of non-exclusive independent consulting agreements for the purpose of raising the sum of up to U.S. $30 million. The funds are to be used to purchase and install equipment, perform site development, working capital for the SSGM open-pit, heap-leaching operation, for the retrofit and expansion of the Joint Venture’s SCMP, and for continuing and expanding its exploration programs.

Through December 1999, the Joint Venture produced gold primarily from processing the SSGM tailings and from the virgin ore it was excavating from its SSGM open pit. The gold was processed at its SCMP facility which is located approximately 15 miles from the SSGM site. It is contemplating the installation of a pilot open-pit, heap-leaching gold-processing system on the SSGM site. The cone crushing system is being maintained at this site. It also is continuing its SSGM site preparation, the expansion of its exploration and exploitation targets, and the enlargement and development of its gold ore reserves. The Modesto Mine has been placed on a standby exploration program basis pending the advice from its legal counsel relative to the filing of applications for concessions (licenses) on the real estate that it owns. Most of the mining properties are located in the Departments of La Union and Morazan in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America.

The Joint Venture will continue its attempts to commence its production of gold from the SSGM site. Its objectives are to have an expanded complementary operation while continuing its endeavor to obtain sufficient funds for the SSGM open-pit, heap-leach operation. The Company’s main objective and plan, through the Joint Venture, is to operate at the SSGM site, a moderate tonnage, low-grade, open-pit, heap-leaching, gold-producing mine. It intends to commence this gold-mining operation as soon as adequate funding is in place, providing the gold price remains at or above the current price level. Dependent on the grade of gold ore processed and the funds it is able to obtain, it then anticipates producing annually approximately 10,000 ounces of gold from the SCMP operation and eventually up to 113,000 ounces of gold from its SSGM open-pit, heap-leaching operation. The Joint Venture continues on a limited basis to conduct an exploration program to develop additional gold ore reserves at the SSGM. Since it has the New SSGM and the Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession/License, it is exploring the Mina Lola, the Tabanco Mine, the Santa Lucia Mine, the Montemayor Mine, the La Joya Mine and the Bañadero Mine.

The Company produced gold at the SSGM site from 1972-1978 and the Joint Venture produced gold from March 1995 through December 1999 at the SCMP through a start-up or preliminary operation, which was a forerunner of its greater goals. The Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flow are greatly influenced by the price of gold. Gold prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors which will be beyond the Company’s control, such as, expectations for inflation, the strength of the U.S. dollar, overproduction of gold, global and regional demand, acts of terrorism, or political and economic conditions, or for that matter, many other reasons. The combined effect of these and other factors is difficult; perhaps impossible to predict. Should the market price of gold fall below the Company’s production costs and remain at such level for any sustained period, the Company could experience losses.

The Company believes that neither it, nor any other competitor, has a material effect on the precious metal markets nor that the price it will receive for its production is dependent upon world market conditions over which it has no control.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The FASB has issued FSP EITF 00-19-2. This FSP states that the contingent obligation to make future payments or other transfers of consideration under a registration payment arrangement, issued as a separate agreement or included as a part of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB 5. Also a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable GAAP without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. This FSP will be applied for when the occasion occurs.

In October 2006, the FASB issued FAS 123(R)-5, Amendment of FSP FAS 123(R)-1, which addresses whether a modification of an instrument in connection with an equity restructuring should be considered a modification for purposes of applying FSP FAS 123(R)-1, Classification and Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under FASB Statement No.123(R). This FSP is effective for the first reporting period beginning after October 10, 2006. At present, this FSP should not have any effect on the Company’s financial reporting.

In September 2006, FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The standard clarifies that for items that are not actively traded, fair value should reflect a price in a transaction with a market participant, including an adjustment for risk. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market which the reporting entity transacts. The Company is currently determining the effect of this statement on its financial reporting.

In August 2006, the SEC published amendments to the disclosure requirements for executive and director compensation, related party transactions, director independence and other corporate governance matters, and security ownership of officers and directors. The rules affect disclosure in proxy statements, annual reports and registration statements. These amendments are effective for filings for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2006.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The requirement is that recognition of the impact of a tax position is made in the financial statements, if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. This interpretation also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The cumulative effect should be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the fiscal year. Adoption must take place for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, although early adoption is allowed. The Company is currently determining the effect of this interpretation on its financial reporting.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” This statement is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. At this time, the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial reporting and disclosures.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations -- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” and requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. Any uncertainty about the amount and/or timing of future settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability where sufficient information exists. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of these standards will have no material impact on the Company’s financial reporting and disclosures at this time.

Employees

As of March 31, 2007, the Joint Venture employed between 40 and 55 full-time persons in El Salvador to perform its limited exploration, exploitation, and development programs; to complete the erection of the cone crushing system, to provide 24-hour seven-day-a-week security at three different sites; to provide engineering, geology, drafting, and computer-related services; and to handle the administration of its activities. None of the employees are covered by any collective bargaining agreements. It has developed a harmonious relationship with its employees, and it believes that at one time in the past, it was one of the largest single non-agricultural employers in the El Salvador Eastern Zone. Also, the Company employs up to four persons, including part-time help, in the United States. Since the Joint Venture has laid off most of its employees, the Joint Venture had to pay their severance pay and other benefits, therefore from time to time it sold and continues to sell the Company’s common shares which were issued to the Commerce Group Corp. Employee Benefit Account. El Salvador employees are entitled to receive severance pay, which is based on one month’s pay for each year of employment.

Related Party Loans, Obligations and Transactions

The related party transactions are included in detail in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Company Advances to the Joint Venture

Since September 1987 through March 31, 2007, the Company, and three of its subsidiaries, have advanced to the Joint Venture $62,925,723. Included in the total advances is the interest charged to the Joint Venture by the Company which amounts to $43,853,773 through March 31, 2007. So far, the Company furnished all of the funds required by the Joint Venture. The interest expense has been eliminated from these financial statements.

Efforts to Obtain Capital

Since the concession was granted, and through the present time, substantial effort is exercised by the Directors and Officers in attempting to secure funding through various sources, all with the purpose to expand the operations of the SCMP, to construct an open-pit heap-leach operation at the SSGM site, and to continue the exploration of its other El Salvadoran mining prospects. In more than one instance, the Company has encountered difficulty in negotiating reasonable terms and conditions.

The Company, Sanseb, and the Joint Venture consider the past political situation in the Republic of El Salvador to have been unstable, and believe that the final peace declaration on December 16, 1992, has put an end to the conflict. Even though many years have passed, the stigma of the past unfavorable political status in the Republic of El Salvador exists and therefore certain investors continue to be apprehensive to invest the funds required. However, as explained in this report, the Company was able to obtain a sum of funds to invest in the expansion and retrofitting of its SCMP and for the exploration of its other mining prospects. The decline in the Company’s common stock market price places the Company in a situation of substantially diluting its common shares in order to raise equity capital. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain adequate financing to conduct its operations from the same sources as in the past. There are no assurances that funds will be available, except at this time, there continues to be a greater world-wide interest in the ownership of gold. The price of gold is at a favorable height which should encourage investors to invest in gold mining companies.

Environmental Regulations

The Company’s mining operations are subject to the El Salvador environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the Company has adopted policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health and the production, handling, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability which could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in the business of the Company, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses.

The El Salvador Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM) requires environmental permits to be issued in connection with the issuance of exploitation concessions. The issuance of these permits are under the jurisdiction of the El Salvador Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Office (MARN). On October 15, 2002, MARN issued an environmental permit under Resolution 474-2002 for the SCMP. On October 20, 2002, MARN issued an environmental permit under Resolution 493-2002 for the Renewed SSGM Exploitation area. Reference is made to “Cash Deposits and Surety Bonds for an explanation of the lawsuit filed against the El Salvador Ministry of Environment for the revoking of the Company’s environmental license.

Guarantees/Bonds

The Company has provided the Government of El Salvador with the following guarantees: on March 15, 2006 a three-year guarantee (bond) was issued by Seguros del Pacifico on behalf of the Company to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources for the Renewed SSGM in the sum of $14,428.68.

On February 17, 2006, a three-year third party liability guarantee in the sum of $42,857.14 was issued by Seguros del Pacifico on behalf of the Company to the Ministry of Economy’s Office of the Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines.

Dividends

For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that the Company will use all of its earnings to finance its growth and expansion, therefore, dividends will not be paid to shareholders.

Impact of Inflation

The impact of the United States’ inflation on the Company has not been significant in recent years because of the relatively low rates of inflation and deflation experienced in the United States.

Item 7(a). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity Prices

The Company’s future revenues, earnings and cash flow may be strongly influenced by changes in gold prices, which fluctuate widely and over which the Company has no control. The Company, if market conditions justify, may enter into gold price protection arrangements in the future, if necessary, to ensure that it generates enough cash flow to support its growth and exploration plans and any debt related to the potential financing.

The risks associated with price protection arrangements include opportunity risk by limiting unilateral participation in upward prices; production risk associated with the requirement to deliver physical ounces against a forward commitment; and credit risk associated with counterparties to the hedged transaction. At present, the Company’s future earnings and cash flow may be significantly impacted by changes in the market price of gold and silver. Gold and silver prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors, such as demand, inflation, interest rates and economic policies to central banks, producer hedging, and the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. During the last five years, the London PM Fix gold price has fluctuated between a low of $272 per ounce in December 2001 and a high of over $700 per ounce in May 2006. The Company expects gold to be its primary product in the future, but the Company cannot currently reasonably estimate its future production and therefore it cannot comment on the impact that changes in gold prices could have on its projected pre-tax earnings and cash flows during 2007.

Foreign Currency

The price of gold is denominated in U.S. dollars, and the Company’s current gold production operations and significant properties are located primarily in the Republic of El Salvador. The Republic of El Salvador converted its money into the U.S. dollar system on January 12, 2001 therefore, the Republic of El Salvador’s national currency is the U.S. dollar.

Cautionary Statement For Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Some of the statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements, such as estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expect a stated condition or result to occur. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results in each case could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements by reason of factors such as production at the Company’s mines, changes in operating costs, changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets, changes in demand and prices for the products the Company produces, litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments in areas in which the Company operates and technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with mining. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of receiving new information, the occurrence of future events, or otherwise.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Commerce Group Corp., Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Commerce Group Corp. (a Wisconsin corporation) as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Commerce Group Corp. as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

COMMERCE GROUP CORP., ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE JOINT VENTURE

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

(1) The Company and Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements

(a)

Commerce Group Corp., a Wisconsin-based corporation organized in 1962 (“Commerce,” the “Company” and/or “Registrant”) and its 82 1/2%-owned subsidiary, San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc., a Nevada corporation organized in 1968 (“Sanseb”), have formed the Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (“Joint Venture”) for the purpose of performing gold mining, the sale of gold, and related activities, including, but not limited to, exploration, exploitation, development, extraction and processing of precious metals in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America. Reference to Commerce, the Company and/or Registrant, includes all of the Company’s wholly-owned or partially-owned subsidiaries and the Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture or any one or more of them as the context requires. Gold bullion, currently the Joint Venture’s principal product, was produced (but not on a full production basis) in El Salvador and refined and sold in the United States. Expansion of exploration is a goal at the San Sebastian Gold Mine (“SSGM”) which is located near the city of Santa Rosa de Lima, El Salvador, Central America, and at the other mining concessions neighboring the SSGM site. Currently expanded exploration is being limited at other mining projects until adequate funding is obtained under acceptable terms and conditions. All of the mining projects are located in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America. Commerce is a reporting company and its common shares are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (CGCO.OB), the Pink Sheets (CGCO.PK), and on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange (C9G).

As of March 31, 2000 the Joint Venture had temporarily suspended the San Cristobal Mill and Plant (“SCMP”) operations (operations ceased on December 31, 1999) until such time as it has adequate funds to retrofit, rehabilitate, restore and expand these facilities.

On March 3, 2003, the Company received an exploration license from the Government of El Salvador (GOES) dated February 24, 2003, for the exploration of minerals in an area encompassing the SSGM, consisting of 40.77 square kilometers (10,070 acres), which is hereafter referred to as the “New SSGM Exploration Concession/License” or the “New SSGM.” This expanded area provides the Company with an opportunity to increase its gold and silver ore reserves. Included in this area are three formerly-operated gold and silver mines: the La Lola Mine, the Santa Lucia Mine and the Tabanco Mine. Thus far, from the exploration performed, the results and findings are very encouraging to continue forward with the expansion of the exploration.

On May 20, 2004 (delivered June 4, 2004) the Company was granted an exploitation concession from the GOES consisting of 1.23 square kilometers (304 acres) for the exploration of the precious metals. Hereafter, this grant will be referred to as the Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License (Renewed SSGM).

On May 25, 2004 (received June 4, 2004) the GOES issued a second exploration concession consisting of 45 square kilometers (11,115 acres) hereinafter referred to as the Nueva Esparta.

The Company continues to be cognizant of its cash needs until such time as it is able to produce adequate profits from its SSGM gold production. It will continue its attempt to obtain sufficient funds to assist the Joint Venture in placing the SSGM into an open-pit, heap-leach production as the anticipated profits from the existing SCMP low volume operation (unless accumulated over a period of time) appear insufficient to meet the SSGM capital and the other mining exploration requirements. In order to continue to follow its goal to conduct the Joint Venture’s exploration, exploitation, development expansion programs, and the production of gold from the SSGM open-pit, heap-leaching operation, it is necessary for the Company to obtain funds from outside sources. The Company may have to borrow funds by issuing open-ended, secured, on-demand or unsecured promissory notes, by selling its shares to its directors, officers and other interested accredited investors, or by entering into a joint venture, merger, or by developing an acceptable, creative form of a business combination.

The Company’s directors and officers, with the aid of investment bankers and finders, are aggressively seeking a compatible financial or business arrangement. The verbal and written proposals or arrangements received up to this time were not acceptable by the Company primarily due to the terms and conditions.

The Joint Venture plans to begin its open-pit, heap-leaching process on the SSGM site when adequate funding becomes available under fair and reasonable terms and conditions, and providing that the price of gold maintains at the current price level. It also plans to continue its SSGM site preparation, the expansion of its exploration and exploitation targets, and the enlargement and development of its gold ore reserves. Furthermore, it plans to explore the potential of other gold and silver mine exploration prospects in El Salvador. Concurrently, it is in the process of obtaining necessary funding for each of these separate programs while its Joint Venture is performing minor retrofit and rehabilitation work at the SCMP. It commenced an exploration program in the New SSGM and in the Nueva Esparta. Its funding of additional precious metals encourages it to expand the exploration activities.

(b)

Basis of presentation:

Management estimates and assumptions:

Certain amounts included in or affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated, requiring that certain assumptions be made with respect to values or conditions which cannot be made with certainty at the time the financial statements are prepared. Therefore, the reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and associated disclosures with respect to contingent assets and obligations are necessarily affected by these estimates. The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, utilizing historical experience, consultation with experts, and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates.

COMMERCE GROUP CORP., ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE JOINT VENTURE

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates and units-of-production amortization determination; updating feasibility studies, recoverability and timing of gold production from the heap-leaching process; environmental, reclamation and closure obligations; asset impairments (including estimates of future cash flows); useful lives and residual values of intangible assets; fair value of stock based compensation; fair value of financial instruments and non-monetary transactions; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; and contingencies and litigation. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidated Statements

The Joint Venture and the following subsidiaries are all majority-owned by the Company and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Not included in the consolidated statements is Mineral San Sebastian, S.A. de C.V. (Misanse) as the Company does not have corporate control of Misanse because the majority of Misanse’s elected directors must be El Salvadoran shareholders.

Minority Interest

During the twelve-months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no expenses in the entities wherein minority interests existed. Minority interest as a whole is immaterial in these financial statements and therefore have not been presented.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets consist primarily of assets held in an employee benefit account stated at cost of $142,105 as of March 31, 2007. The funds are to be used primarily to pay the El Salvadoran employee medical benefits and pension benefits as required by the El Salvadoran Government and for other employee purposes.

COMMERCE GROUP CORP., ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE JOINT VENTURE

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

The El Salvadoran vacation and Christmas bonus payments are due when earned while the severance pay is due and payable at such time when the employee has been discharged, retired, permanently laid off, death or when incapable of working due to permanent health/work related conditions. The Company has sole control and jurisdiction over this account and to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there is absolutely no condition, right, or requirement by the El Salvadoran authorities to have such funds in any form of a reserve.

Also included in other current assets are certain precious stones and jewelry stated at cost of $132,448 as of March 31, 2007. The Directors approved the sale of these assets to the Rollover Individual Retirement Account of the President of the Company at the Company’s cost.

The accounts receivable - related balance consists of advances to Mineral San Sebastian S.A. (Misanse), which is 52% owned by the Company. These advances are an offset for the past and future Misanse rental charges that are included in the accounts payable. An accounting is as follows:

	Misanse	Others	Total
Accounts receivable	$584,925	$ 0	$584,925
Accounts payable	$238,234	$129,690	$367,924

On January 14, 2003, at a Misanse shareholders’ meeting held at the Company’s City of San Miguel, El Salvador office, the Misanse shareholders and the Misanse Directors approved, confirmed and ratified the amount that Misanse owed the Company for advances and other obligations the Company incurred on behalf of Misanse. The amount due to Misanse at that time was also approved, ratified and confirmed.

The Company is of the opinion that it is appropriate to record the fact that Misanse owes the Company $584,925 and that the Company owes Misanse $238,234 as Misanse is not consolidated with the Company’s financial records. When gold production commences, the 5% royalty payable to Misanse for rent of the San Sebastian Gold Mine property based on the gross proceeds from the sale of gold and the accounts payable offset will reduce this receivable until it is paid in full.

Mining supplies consist of consumable items used in processing gold ore, which are stated at the average cost.

Accounts Receivable

The accounts receivable consist of advances to Misanse, a 52%-owned subsidiary, which will be offset for the Misanse rental charges included in the Joint Venture’s accounts payable.

Intercompany Balances

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Mining Supplies

Mining supplies consist of consumable supplies used in connection with processing ore, and are stated at the average cost, which is lower than the market value.

COMMERCE GROUP CORP., ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE JOINT VENTURE

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

Deferred Mining Costs

The Company, in order to avoid expense and revenue unbalance, capitalizes all costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration and development of specific properties, until these properties are put into operation, sold or are abandoned. Gains or losses resulting from the sale or abandonment of mining properties will be included in operations. The Joint Venture capitalizes its costs and expenses and will write off these cumulative costs on a units of production method at such time as it begins producing gold derived from the gold ore on a full production basis. If the prospect of gold production, due to different conditions and circumstances becomes unlikely, all of these costs may be written off in the year that this occurs.

The Company regularly evaluates its carrying value of exploration properties in light of their potential for economic mineralization and the likelihood of continued work by either the Company or a joint venture partner. The Company may, from time to time, reduce its carrying value to an amount that approximates fair market value based upon an assessment of such criteria.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of gold will be recognized when delivery has occurred, title and risk of loss passes to the buyer, and collectability is reasonably assured. Gold sales will be made in accordance with sales contracts where the price is fixed or determinable. No revenue has been recognized for the years presented.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Mining properties, development costs and plant and equipment will be depreciated when full production takes place using the units of production method based upon proven and probable reserves. Until the Company suspended its mining operations, the assets were depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Depreciation and amortization expenses include the amortization of assets acquired, if any, under capital leases. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized. When in operation, maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense based on average estimated equipment usage. Interest costs incurred in the construction or acquisition of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and amortized over the useful lives of the related assets. Since the Company suspended its gold processing operations effective March 31, 2000, it also ceased to depreciate its fixed assets.

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs

Significant property acquisition payments for active exploration properties are capitalized. If no minable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned. Expenditures for the development of new mines, to define further mineralization at and adjacent to existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on the units of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its mine development, mineral interest and mining properties when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the properties may be impaired. For these assets, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on discounted cash flows.

Intangible assets subject to impairment are assessed for impairment at least annually or more frequently when changes in market conditions or other events occur. Impairments are measured based on estimated fair value. Fair value with respect to such mineral interests, pursuant to a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets effective January 1, 2002, would generally be assessed with reference to comparable property sales transactions in the market place. No impairment has been recorded as of the periods presented.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations is based on the guidance of SFAS No. 143 which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Fair value is determined by estimating the retirement obligations in the period an asset is first placed in service and then adjusting the amount for estimated inflation and market risk contingencies to the projected settlement date of the liability. The result is then discounted to a present value from the projected settlement date to the date the asset was first placed in service or to the change in estimate/timing. The present value of the asset retirement obligation is recorded as an additional property cost and as an asset retirement liability. The amortization of the additional property cost (using the units of production method) is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and the accretion of the discounted liability is recorded as a separate operating expense in the Company’s statement of operations. No impairment has been recorded as of the periods presented.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

The FASB has issued FSP EITF 00-19-2. This FSP states that the contingent obligation to make future payments or other transfers of consideration under a registration payment arrangement, issued as a separate agreement or included as a part of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Also, a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable GAAP without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. This FSP was not applicable for this fiscal year.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN HYBRID FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 133 AND 140. This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issued No. D1, "Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS, AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT No. 140. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The standard clarifies that for items that are not actively traded, fair value should reflect the price in a transaction with a market participant, including an adjustment for risk. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market which the reporting entity transacts. The Company is currently determining the effect of this Statement on its financial reporting.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS, AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 87, 88, 106 AND 132(R). This statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other that a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FAS 123(R)-5, Amendment of FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 123(R)-1, which addresses whether a modification of an instrument in connection with an equity restructuring should be considered a modification for purposes of applying FSP FAS 123(R)-1, Classification and Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under FASB Statement No. 123(R). This FSP is effective for the first reporting period beginning after October 10, 2006. This FSP should have no effect on the financial reporting.

Management’s assumptions

Management’s estimates of gold and other metal prices, recoverable proven and probable reserves, operating, capital, and reclamation costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the recoverability of the Company’s investment in property, plant, and equipment. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near-term which could adversely affect management’s estimate of the net cash flows expected to be generated from its mining properties.

Estimates of future cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties. It is possible that changes could occur which may affect the recoverability of property, plant and equipment.

Interest Capitalization

Interest costs are capitalized as part of the historical cost of facilities and equipment, if material.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries (See note 9). The Joint Venture files a U.S. partnership return.

Loss Per Common Share

The Company has in the past years reported its “Earnings per Share” (EPS) which presently complies with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128). As required by this standard, the Company, if applicable, could report two earnings per share amounts, basic net loss and diluted net loss per share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing loss reportable to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator). The computation of diluted net loss per share is similar to the computation of basic net loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the dilutive effect of the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all convertible securities, stock options, rights, share loans etc. had been converted to common shares, however, there were no such dilutive items as of March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

The computation of diluted EPS shall not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. Shares issued on actual conversion, exercise, or satisfaction of certain conditions for which the underlying potential common shares were antidilutive shall be included in the computation as outstanding common shares from the date of conversion, exercise, or satisfaction of those conditions, respectively. Therefore, there is no difference in the loss or the number of basic or diluted shares.

Vehicles, office, mining and laboratory equipment, buildings, etc. are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions are included in operations. Since the Joint Venture suspended operations effective on March 31, 2000 in view of the weak price of gold and the need to expand the SCMP facilities, no depreciation has been recorded during the following fiscal years. The Company is maintaining the property and equipment and will begin to depreciate them once operations commence again. Reference is made to Property, Plant and Equipment in note (2) Significant Accounting Policies.

(4) Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (“Joint Venture”)

The Company is in a joint venture with and owns 82 1/2% of the total common stock (2,002,037 shares) of Sanseb, a U.S. State of Nevada chartered (1968) corporation. Approximately 180 non-related shareholders, including the President of the Company who owns 2,073 common shares, hold the balance of Sanseb’s stock. Sanseb was formed in 1968 to explore, exploit, research, and develop adequate gold reserves and to produce gold. Sanseb produced gold from the SSGM from 1972 through February 1978.

On September 22, 1987, the Company and Sanseb entered into a joint venture agreement to formalize their relationship with respect to the mining venture and to account for the Company’s substantial investment in Sanseb. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is authorized to supervise and control all of the business affairs of the Joint Venture and has the authority to do all that is necessary to resume mining operations at the SSGM on behalf of the Joint Venture. The net pre-tax profits of the Joint Venture will be distributed as follows: Company 90%; and Sanseb 10%. Since the Company owns 82 1/2% of the authorized and issued common shares of Sanseb, the Company in effect has over a 98% interest in the Joint Venture activities.

The joint venture agreement further provides that the Company has the right to be compensated for its general and administrative expenses in connection with managing the Joint Venture.

Under the joint venture agreement, agreements signed by the Company for the benefit of the Joint Venture create obligations binding upon the Joint Venture.

The Joint Venture is registered to do business in the State of Wisconsin and in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America.

Investments in Joint Venture

As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s advances, including charges for interest expense to the Joint Venture, were $62,975,723 and three of the Company’s subsidiaries’ advances were $590,265 for a total of $63,565,988.

Investment in El Salvador Mining Projects

During the fiscal year, the Company has advanced funds, performed services, and allocated its general and administrative costs to the Joint Venture.

Exploration Activity

The Company had no significant activity at the SSGM site from February 1978 through January 1987 due to the civil unrest in El Salvador. The present status is that, the Company, since January 1987, and thereafter, the Joint Venture, since September 1987, have completed certain of the required mining pre-production preliminary stages in the minable and proven gold ore reserve area, and the Company is active in attempting to obtain adequate financing at acceptable terms and conditions for the proposed open-pit, heap-leaching operations at the SSGM and to commence the production of gold and silver at its SCMP. The Joint Venture plans to resume its exploration and expansion program to develop additional gold ore reserves in the area surrounding the existing gold ore reserves. Presently, it is completing the erection of its cone crushing system, performing minor rehabilitation repairs to its San Cristobal Mill and Plant, and performing exploration in targeted areas. On February 24, 2003, the Ministry of Economy’s Director of El Salvador Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM) granted an exploration concession referred to as the “New SSGM” which area includes and encompasses the existing SSGM. Also the Company is currently in the process of exploring two of the formerly operated gold mines in this concession. On May 25, 2004, the Government of El Salvador (GOES) granted another exploration concession which is referred to as the “Nueva Esparta” and includes eight formerly operated gold/silver mines. Exploration has commenced on the Montemayor Mine, the La Joya Mine, the Tabanco Mine, the La Lola Mine, and other formerly operated mines included in this concession.

Mineral San Sebastian S.A. de C.V. (“Misanse”)

(a) Misanse Corporate Structure

The SSGM real estate is owned by and leased to the Joint Venture by Misanse, a Salvadoran-chartered corporation. The Company owns 52% of the total of Misanse’s issued and outstanding common shares. Approximately approximately 100 El Salvador, Central American, and United States’ citizens own the balance.

(b) SSGM Mining Lease

On January 14, 2003, the Company entered into an amended and renewed 30-year lease agreement with Mineral San Sebastian Sociedad Anomina de Capital Variable (Misanse) pursuant to the approval of the Misanse shareholders and Misanse directors at a meeting held on January 12, 2003. The renewed lease is for a period of thirty (30) years commencing on the date that the Company received its Renewed San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation Concession/License, hereinafter identified as the “Renewed SSGM,” from the DHM. The lease is automatically extendible for one or more equal periods. The Company will pay to Misanse for the rental of this real estate the sum of five percent of the sales of the gold and silver produced from this real estate, however, the payment will not be less than $343.00 per month. The Company has the right to assign this lease without prior notice or permission from Misanse. This lease is pledged as collateral for loans made by related parties (Notes 6 and 7).

On September 6, 2002, at a meeting held with the El Salvadoran Minister of Economy and the DHM, it was agreed to submit an application for the Renewed SSGM for a 30-year term and to simultaneously cancel the concession obtained on July 23, 1987. On September 26, 2002, the Company filed this application. On February 28, 2003 (received March 3, 2003) the DHM admitted to the receipt of the application and the Company proceeded to file public notices as required by Article 40 of the El Salvadoran Mining Law and its Reform (MLIR). On April 16, 2003, the Company’s El Salvadoran legal counsel filed with the DHM notice that it believed that it complied with the requirements of Article 40, and that there were no objections; and requested that the DHM make its inspection as required by MLIR Article 42. An inspection by the DHM was made. The Company then provided a bond which was subsequently renewed for a period of three years beginning on February 17, 2006; it was required by the DHM to protect third parties against any damage caused from the mining operations; it simultaneously paid the annual surface tax. On August 29, 2003 the Office of the Ministry of Economy formally presented the Company with a twenty-year Renewed SSGM which was dated August 18, 2003. On May 20, 2004 (delivered June 4, 2004) the Government of El Salvador under this Agreement Number 591 extended the exploitation concession for a period of thirty (30) years. This Renewed SSGM replaces the collateral that the same lenders held with the previous concession.

On October 20, 2002, the Company applied to the Government of El Salvador through the DHM for the New SSGM, which covers an area of 42 square kilometers and includes approximately 1.2306 square kilometers of the Renewed SSGM Exploitation Concession. The New SSGM is in the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Rosa de Lima in the Department of La Union and in the Nueva Esparta in the Department of Morazan, Republic of El Salvador, Central America. On February 24, 2003, the DHM issued the New SSGM for a period of four years starting from the date following the notification of this resolution which was received on March 3, 2003. The New SSGM may be extended for two two-year periods, or for a total of eight years. It is presently in the process of receiving an extension of time from the GOES. Besides the San Sebastian Gold Mine, the following three other formerly operative gold and silver mines included in the New SSGM are being explored: the La Lola Mine, the Santa Lucia Mine, and the Tabanco Mine.

Nueva Esparta Exploration Concession/License (Nueva Esparta) under El Salvador Resolution No. 271 - approximately 45 square kilometers (11,115 acres) located in the Departments of La Union and Morazan, El Salvador, Central America

On or about October 20, 2002, the Company filed an application with the Government of El Salvador through the DHM for the Nueva Esparta, which consists of 45 square kilometers north and adjacent to the New SSGM. This rectangular area is in the Departments of La Union (east) and Morazan (west) and in the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Rosa de Lima, El Salvador, Central America. On May 25, 2004 (received June 4, 2004) the Government of El Salvador under Resolution Number 271 issued the exploration concession for a period of four years with a right to request an additional four year extension. An important observation is that these mines form a belt of mineralization following a fault line from the SSGM to the Montemayor Mine for a distance of approximately five miles. Included in the Nueva Esparta are eight other formerly operated gold and silver mines known as: the Grande Mine, the Las Piñas Mine, the Oro Mine, the Montemayor Mine, the Bañadero Mine, the Carrizal Mine, the La Joya Mine and the Copetillo Mine.

El Salvador Mineral Production Fees

As of July 2001, a series of revisions to the El Salvador Mining Law offer to make exploitation more attractive. The principal change is that the fee payable to the GOES has been reduced to two percent of the gross gold and silver receipts.

SCMP Land and Building Lease

On November 12, 1993, the Joint Venture entered into an agreement with Corporacion Salvadorena de Inversiones (“Corsain”), an El Salvadoran governmental agency, to lease for a period of ten years, approximately 166 acres of land and certain buildings on which its gold processing mill, plant and related equipment (the SCMP) are located, and which is approximately 15 miles west of the SSGM site. The basic annual lease payment was U.S. $11,500, payable annually in advance, unless otherwise amended, and subject to an annual increase based on the annual United States’ inflation rate. As agreed, a security deposit of U.S. $11,500 was paid on the same date and this deposit was subject to increases based on any United States’ inflationary rate adjustments.

On April 26, 2004, a three-year lease, which includes an automatic additional three-year extension subject to Corsain’s review, was executed by and between Corsain and the Company. This lease is retroactive to November 12, 2003 and the monthly lease payments are $1,418.51 plus the El Salvadoran added value tax. The lease is subject to an annual increase based on the U.S. annual inflationary rate adjustments, and is in the process of being renewed. The SCMP is strategically located to process ore from other nearby mining projects.

Modesto Mine

Real Estate

The Company owns 63 acres of land which are a key part of the Modesto Mine that is located near the city of El Paisnal, El Salvador. This real estate is subject to a mortgage and promissory note and is pledged as collateral to certain parties described in Notes 6 and 7.

San Felipe-El Potosi Mine (“Potosi”)

Real Estate Lease Agreement

Montemayor Mine

The Joint Venture has leased approximately 175 acres of land that it considers to be the key mining property. The terms of the various leases are one year with automatic renewal rights. This property is located 14 miles northwest of the SCMP, six miles northwest of the SSGM, and about two miles east of the city of San Francisco Gotera in the Department of Morazan, El Salvador.

(5) Synopsis of Real Estate Ownership and Leases

The Company’s 52%-owned subsidiary, Misanse, owns the 1,470 acre SSGM site located near the city of Santa Rosa de Lima in the Department of La Union, El Salvador. Other real estate ownership or leases in El Salvador are as follows: the Company owns approximately 63 acres at the Modesto Mine; and the Joint Venture leases the SCMP land and buildings on which its mill, plant and equipment are located. In addition, the Joint Venture has entered into a lease agreement to lease approximately 675 acres based on the production of gold payable in the form of royalties with a mining prospect in the Department of San Miguel in the Republic of El Salvador. The Company also leases on a month-to-month basis approximately 4,032 square feet of office space in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The other salary accruals as of March 31, 2007 are $126,053 compared to $103,736 for March 31, 2006.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

The Company advances funds, allocates and charges its expenses to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture in turn capitalizes all of these advances, costs and expenses. When full production commences, these capitalized costs will be charged as an expense based on a per unit production basis. The Company also charges interest for its advances to the Joint Venture which interest rate is established to be the prime rate quoted on the first day of each month plus four percent and said interest is payable monthly. This interest is eliminated from the consolidated statement of operations. However, a separate accounting is maintained for the purpose of recording the amount that is due to the Company from the Joint Venture.

(9) Income Taxes

At March 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding the Joint Venture, have estimated net operating losses remaining in a sum of approximately $10,646,388, which may be carried forward to offset future taxable income; the net operating losses expire at various times up until the year 2022.

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, tax credit carry-forwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

g. Commerce Group Corp. Employee Benefit Account (CGCEBA)

This account was established for the purpose of compensating the Company’s employees for benefits such as retirement, severance pay, and all other related compensation that is mandatory under El Salvadoran labor regulations, and/or as determined by the Officers of the Corporation. The Directors provide the Officers of the Company with the authority to issue its common shares to the CGCEBA on an as needed basis. Under this plan, payment can be made to any employee of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. The CGCEBA has sold some of the shares issued to the CGCEBA from time to time during this fiscal year to meet its obligations primarily to its El Salvadoran employees. As of April 1, 2006, 546,655 common shares remained in the account. During this fiscal period 500,000 shares were added and 60,000 shares were sold, leaving a balance of 986,655 common shares as of March 31, 2007.

(11) Litigation

There is no pending litigation in the United States. However, in the Republic of El Salvador, Central America, the Company’s El Salvadoran legal counsel on December 6, 2006, filed a complaint with the El Salvadoran Supreme Court Administrative Division claiming that the El Salvadoran Office of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) has revoked two of its El Salvadoran environmental permits for mining exploitation, without any prior notice, without a right to a hearing and the right of due process, based on misguided assertions, and contrary to El Salvadoran law. In addition, the Company’s legal counsel stated that there is a lack of legal foundation for the sanctions and excess authority exercised by MARN. The English translation of that complaint is included as Exhibit 10.22 to this Form 10-K. There has been no amount accrued for litigation as of March 31, 2007 or March 31, 2006.

(12) Certain Concentrations and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk in connection with maintaining its cash primarily in two financial institutions for the amounts in excess of levels. One is insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The other is an El Salvadoran banking institution which the Company uses to pay its El Salvadoran obligations. The Company considers the U.S. institution to be financially strong and does not consider the underlying risk at this time with its El Salvadoran bank to be significant. To date, these concentrations of credit risk have not had a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company is not subject to credit risk in connection with any hedging activities as it has never hedged any of its gold production. If the Company changes its policies, then it will only use highly-rated credit worthy counterparties, therefore it should not anticipate non-performance.

When in production the Company sold its gold and silver to one customer. Given the marketability and liquidity of the precious metals being sold and because of the large pool of qualified buyers for gold and silver the Company believes that the loss of its customer could be quickly replaced without any adverse affect.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Compliance

Based upon current knowledge, the Company believes that it is in compliance with the U.S. and El Salvadoran environmental laws and regulations as currently promulgated. However, the exact nature of environmental control problems, if any, which the Company may encounter in the future cannot be predicted, primarily because of the increasing number, complexity and changing character of environmental requirements that may be enacted or of the standards being promulgated by governmental authorities. The Company has filed a lawsuit with the El Salvadoran Court of Administrative Litigation of the Supreme Court of Justice. Reference is made to Exhibit 10.22 of this Form 10-K for a copy of such filing.

Environmental Guarantees

In connection with the issuance of environmental permits, the Company has provided the Government of El Salvador with the following guarantees on March 15, 2006: three-year guarantees expiring on March 15, 2009 were issued by Seguros del Pacifico, S.A., an El Salvadoran insurance company, on behalf of the Company to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources for the Renewed SSGM Exploitation Concession/License.

In connection with the Renewed SSGM Exploitation Concession/License, on February 17, 2006, a three-year, third-party liability guarantee (bond) expiring on February 17, 2009 in the sum of $42,857.14 was issued by Seguros del Pacifico, S.A. on behalf of the Company as required to the Ministry of Economy’s Office of the Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines.

The El Salvadoran Environmental Law, Decree No. 233, 1998 and the General Regulation of the Environmental Law specify the following:

An environmental permit from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) based on the approval of an Environmental Impact Assessment, is required for exploitation and industrial processing of minerals and fossil fuels;

The environmental permit requires the Company to implement prevention, minimization or compensation measures established in the environmental management program, which is a component of the Environmental Impact Assessment;

A financial security (bond) is required that covers the total cost of the facilities or investment required to comply with the environmental management plans included in the Environmental Impact Assessment.

Numeric standards for ambient air quality; emissions from fixed sources; maximum environmental noise levels; water quality and effluent limits are specified in various norms and regulation, including the Special Regulation of Technical Norms for Environmental Quality Decree No. 40, and the Special Regulations of Wastewater Decree No. 39.

COMMERCE GROUP CORP., ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE JOINT VENTURE

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

The El Salvadoran Department of Hydrocarbons and Mines (DHM) requires environmental permits to be issued in connection with the application of the Renewed SSGM. The issuance of these permits is under the jurisdiction of the El Salvador Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Office (MARN). On October 15, 2002, MARN issued an environmental permit under Resolution 474-2002 for the SCMP. On October 20, 2002, MARN issued an environmental permit under Resolution 493-2002 for the Renewed SSGM Exploitation area, which on March 15, 2006, was renewed for a three-year period expiring March 15, 2009.

On or about September 18, 2006, without any prior notice, the El Salvador Minister of Environment’s office delivered to Commerce’s El Salvadoran legal counsel, its revocation of its San Sebastian Gold Mine Exploitation environmental permit which was the only permit of its kind issued in the Republic of El Salvador. The Company’s El Salvadoran legal counsel after reviewing the two letters (one for the SSGM and the other for the SCMP) concluded that the revocation of these permits was arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional and he so stated in his September 20, 2006 letter to the Minister of Environment’s office; a second letter was submitted by our legal counsel as the Minister of Environment’s office requested a response to the first letter. As of October 28, 2006, no responses were received. The Company has filed a lawsuit with the El Salvadoran Court of Administrative Litigation of the Supreme Court of Justice stating that the Ministry of Environment has not provided any prior notice, has not provided a right to a hearing and the right of due process, based its opinion on misguided assertions, and contrary to El Salvadoran law. In addition, the Company’s legal counsel stated that there is a lack of legal foundation for the sanctions and excess authority exercised by MARN. Reference is made to Exhibit 10.22 of this Form 10-K for a copy of such filing.

Lease Commitments

The month-to-month lease of its offices is described in note (7) Related Party Transactions of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The lease of the SCMP and other mining leases are described in note (4) Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture (“Joint Venture”) and in note (5) Synopsis of Real Estate Ownership and Leases of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Confirmation Agreements with Related Parties

The Company, with Directors’ approval, as of the end of each fiscal year, enters into confirmation agreements with Edward L. Machulak as an individual, and not as a Director or Officer of the Company, the Edward L. Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account, General Lumber & Supply Co., Inc., and Sylvia Machulak as an individual and for the Sylvia Machulak Rollover Individual Retirement Account, John E. and Susan R. Machulak, Edward A. Machulak and Circular Marketing, Inc. to acknowledge the amount due, the collateral pledged, and other pertinent facts and understandings between the parties as of the fiscal year end. These agreements are filed annually as exhibits to the SEC Form 10-K.

Intercompany Transactions and Other Transactions

In addition to the transactions between the Company and General Lumber, and certain individuals who also are Directors and Officers of the Company and between the Company and its Officers, Directors and affiliates, the Company has and continues to have transactions with its subsidiaries, San Luis Estates, Inc., Universal Developers, Inc., Homespan Realty Co., Inc., Ecomm Group Inc., San Sebastian Gold Mines, Inc., Mineral San Sebastian S.A. de C.V., and substantial transactions with the Commerce/Sanseb Joint Venture.

The Company advances funds, allocates expenses, and charges for disbursements made to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture in turn capitalizes all of these advances, allocations, expenses, and disbursements.

The Company has adopted a policy to maintain a separate accounting of the amount due to it from Sanseb and the Joint Venture. This independent accounting will be maintained by the Company to reflect its investment and the amount due to it. This record will become the official document for future Joint Venture cash distributions. All of the advances and interest earned will be paid to the Company before the distribution to others of any of the Joint Venture’s profits or cash flow.

The Company maintains a separate accounting for the funds or credits advanced to the Joint Venture and for the interest charged which is at the prime rate quoted on the first business day of each month plus four percent and said interest is payable monthly. These advances, together with interest, are to be paid to the Company prior to the distribution of any of the Joint Venture profits, and are reflected as follows:

Company Net Advances to the Joint Venture during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007

	Total Advances	Interest Charges

(14) Business Segments

The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises determine operating segments and report information about those segments in annual financial statements. SFAS 131 also requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS 131 further establishes standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

The Company presently has two reportable segments: mining and other. The mining segment was engaged in the exploitation and exploration of precious metals. The production processing is temporarily suspended while the exploration continues. The other segments are those activities that are combined for reporting purposes.

COMMERCE GROUP CORP., ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE JOINT VENTURE

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

(16) Uncertainties

The Company has experienced recurring losses since the gold production operations have been placed on a hold status. The Company has had no revenues during this phase and is therefore dependent upon raising capital to continue operations. During the past five years, the Company and its shareholders and officers have been able to provide the capital necessary to continue the operations of the Company, the maintenance of the mine and related equipment, and perform limited exploration on its concession rights. However, there is no guarantee that the Company can continue to provide required capital and to keep the Company’s assets maintained. If the Company was unable to raise sufficient funds, the Company would be unable to pay the employees maintaining its mining equipment in El Salvador, which could result in loss of assets or impairment thereof. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management believes it has sufficient availability of funds through loans and other business arrangements from its principal officer, its directors, through accredited investors, and other sources to continue its operations for the coming year. Management is also entertaining joint venture opportunities, and other financing in order to generate sufficient capital to begin the open-pit, heap-leaching operation at the San Sebastian Gold Mine and to resume its production facilities at its San Cristobal Mill and Plant. The substantial increase in the price of gold--the highest in 25 years--has expanded investors’ interest.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9(a). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company is not an accelerated filer and therefore is not required to provide a report of management on its internal controls over financial reporting. However, the Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the date of such evaluation.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Effective for the reporting year ended March 31, 2007, the Company is not an accelerated filer and it is not required to provide a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the period ended March 31, 2007 that have materially effected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect the internal control over financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Item 9(b). Other Information
