NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 31, 2002 (UNAUDITED) Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation SB. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company as of January 31, 2002 and for the two years then ended, including notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Stockholders' (Deficit) ----------------------- During the period ended July 31, 2002 a shareholder of the Company contributed $128,900 to the capital of the Company. During the period ended July 31, 2002 the Company issued 600,000 options to purchase common shares to certain employees. These options are exercisable at $.05 per share and expire during December 2005. SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123. The fair value of the option grants is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. These results may not be representative of those to be expected in future years. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net (loss) and (loss) per share would not have materially changed. Going Concern Consideration --------------------------- The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception aggregating $16,201,617 and has a stockholders' deficit of $1,221,885 and a working capital deficit of $1,231,975 at July 31, 2002. In addition, the Company has no revenue producing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is attempting to develop mineral properties in Mexico as Mexico is supportive of the mining industry and NAFTA has made doing business there attractive. In addition, the Company has funded its operations from capital contributions from a shareholder. The ability of the Company to achieve its operating goals and thus positive cash flows from operations is dependent upon the future market price of metals, future capital raising efforts, and the ability to achieve future operating efficiencies anticipated with increased production levels. Management's plans will require additional financing, reduced exploration activity or disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. While the Company has been successful in these capital raising, endeavors in the past, there can be no assurance that its future efforts and anticipated operating improvements will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ----------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Liquidity and Capital Resources 2.1.1 Short Term Liquidity -------------------------- As of July 31, 2002, the Company had $11,521 in cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,243,496 million. On July 31, 2002, the Company's current ratio of current assets to current liabilities was less than 1:1 A current ratio of less than 1:1 indicates that the Company does not have sufficient cash and other current assets to pay its bills and other liabilities incurred at the end of its fiscal year and due and payable within the next fiscal year. To help eliminate this problem the Company sold its Colombian operation during calendar year 2000 and is concentrating its efforts in Mexico. After taxes, Fischer-Watt incurred a net loss of $90,195 for the three month period ending July 31, 2002 compared to $79,768 for the previous year. For the six months ending July 2001 the net loss was $213,949 compared to $194,876 for the year before. The loss was due to the lack of income producing operations and costs related to the development of the Mexican property. On July 31, 2002 the accumulated deficit was $16.2 Million 2.1.2 Long Term Liquidity ------------------------- It is likely that the Company will need to supplement anticipated cash from operations with future debt or equity financing and dispositions of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties to fully fund its future business plan that includes exploration projects and property development. While the Company has been successful in capital raising endeavors in the past, there can be no assurance that its future efforts will be successful. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to conclude transactions with respect to its mineral properties or additional debt or equity financing or that such capital raising opportunities will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. 2.2 Results of Operations ------------------------- The Company had a net loss of $90,195 ($0.00 per share) compared to a net loss of $79,768 ($0.00 per share) in the three-months ended July 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. The loss for the six months ended July 31, 2002 and 2001 was $213,949 and $194,876 respectively. 2.3 Revenues ------------ The Company had no sales during the period. 8 2.4 Costs and Expenses ---------------------- The cost of abandoned mineral interests was $-0- in the three months and six months ending July 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Abandonment's are a natural result of the Company's ongoing program of acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral properties. When the Company determines that a property lacks continuing economic value, it is abandoned. It cannot be determined at this time when or if any of the Company's current property interests will be abandoned. Selling, general and administrative cost was decreased to $56,462 for the three months ending July 31, 2002 from $74,768 for the three months ending July 31, 2001. Costs for the six months ended July 31,2002 and 2001 were $138,069 and $162,071 respectively. Exploration expense increased from $5,000 in the three month period of fiscal 2001 ended July 31 to $33,733 in the same three months of fiscal 2002. All exploration costs in the year 2002 to date have been incurred at the La Balsa property in Mexico. Exploration costs for the first half of 2002, ended July 31, were $75,880 compared to $32,805 the previous year. Other income (expenses) was $-0- for the period. 2.5 Commitments and Contingencies --------------------------------- Management is currently unaware of any legal action against the Company. 2.6 Foreign Currency Exchange ----------------------------- The Company accounts for foreign currency translation in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" ("SFAS No.52"). The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated using the weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The related translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated translation adjustment section of shareholders' equity. 2.7 Going Concern Consideration ------------------------------- As the independent certified public accountants have indicated in their report on the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2002, and as shown in the financial statements, the Company has experienced significant operating losses that have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $16.2 million. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to achieve its operating goals and thus positive cash flows from operations is dependent upon the future market price of gold, future capital raising efforts, and the ability to achieve future operating efficiencies anticipated with increased production levels. Management's plans will require additional financing, reduced exploration activity, or disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. While the Company has been successful in these capital-raising endeavors in the past, there can be no assurance that its future efforts, and anticipated operating improvements will be successful. The Company does not currently have adequate capital to continue its contemplated business plan beyond 2002. The Company is presently investigating all of the alternatives identified above to meet its short-term liquidity needs. The Company believes that it can arrange a transaction or 9 transactions to meet its short-term liquidity needs, however there can be no assurance that any such transactions will be concluded or that if concluded they will be on terms favorable to the Company. On November 21, 2000, the Company announced that it had signed a letter on intent to sell the Oronorte operations to Grupo de Bullet, a Colombian Company. This sale included the El Limon mine and its related support facilities as well as all of the company's exploration and development properties in the country. The sale price was US$3.7 million which will be paid as a 3% Net Smelter Return royalty. If Grupo de Bullet vends the property to a third party within two years the full amount will be due upon sale, less a sales commission. 2.8 Other --------- In August 2000, the Mexican government issued the Company the rights to a series of contagious mining concessions. The concessions cover approximately 500 hectares and are located 12 kilometers north of Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan. Work done by previous concession holders included 42 diamond drill holes, 35 percussion drill holes and a preliminary feasibility study. In October 2000 the Company retained K D Engineering, Tucson, Arizona, to perform a feasibility study on the Balsa project. Simultaneously, Mintec, Inc., Tucson, Arizona, was retained to determine the ore reserves and complete a mine design. K D Engineering subcontracted the geotechnical portion of the study to the Tucson office of Golder Associates. A pre-feasibility study was completed on January 4, 2001 and is summarized below. 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class Type Tonne %Cu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Measured Clay Oxide 556,447 0.998 Rock Oxide 2,081,640 0.878 Sulphide 6,481,094 2.677 Sub Total 9,119,181 2.164 Indicated Clay Oxide 103,041 0.939 Rock Oxide 1,246,182 0.548 Sulphide 2,147,934 0.206 Sub Total 3,497,157 0.349 Inferred Clay Oxide 3,221 0.728 Rock Oxide 186,425 0.442 Sulphide 11,684,788 0.154 Sub Total 11,874,434 0.159 Total Clay Oxide 662,709 0.99 Rock Oxide 3,514,247 0.74 Sulphide 20,313,816 0.96 Total 24,490,772 0.93 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class Type Tonne Cu% -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Measured Clay Oxide 659,488 0.989 and Rock Oxide 3,327,822 0.754 Indicated Sulphide 8,629,028 2.062 Sub Total 12,616,338 1.661 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Tonne mined 3.5 million Average Grade of Ore Mined 1.42% Cu Striping Ratio (Waste to Ore) 0.68:1 Ton per day of refined copper 14 Process SX-EW Type of Copper Produced Electrolytic Total Capital Requirement $10 million (Approximately) Project Life 7.5 years Cash Cost per Lb of Cu $0.54 Revenue @ $0.85 per Lb of Cu $66 million 11 In August 2001 Mexican authorities notified the Company that the challenges to the title had been resolved in the Company's favor. Titles were issued the same month. On September 28, 2001 the Company began a drilling program at the La Balsa project. This program was initiated to confirm and expand the reserves, provide a better understanding of the geology, and to provide material for additional metallurgical testing. The drilling consisted of 435 meters of core. The work was preformed by B.D.W. Drilling, Guadalajara, Jalisco and supervised by Resource Geosciences de Mexico, Hermosillo, Sonora. The samples from the drilling were sent to the laboratory of Bondar Clegg, Vancouver, B.C. for assay. The results of the drilling are shown below. LA BALSA SIGNIFICANT DRILL INTERCEPTS

*Considered very important for porphyry potential. This hole ended in ore grade mineralization outside the current reserve area. 12 Concurrent with this work, Seegmiller and Associates, an internationally recognized slope stability firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah, performed various rock mechanic studies and slope stability analysis. Aguayo and Associates of Hermosillo, Sonora, performed environmental testing for potential acid rock drainage on representative samples. During the above mentioned drill program it was noted that several of the drill holes had terminated in porphyry-style, high grade, copper sulfide mineralization or favorable altered host rocks. This same bornite mineralization and porphyry association had also been noted in the drill logs of some of the 70 holes drilled previously by other companies. Fischer-Watt therefore contracted La Cuesta International, Inc. to determine the potential, and to make specific recommendations for future exploration, of this deeper, primary sulfide, target. In its conclusions, La Cuesta International noted that some of the drill holes beneath Zone C had intersected the throat of an important, well mineralized, copper-bearing porphyry intrusive and that "The La Balsa project is a porphyry hosted, bornite dominated, copper-silver-gold mineral system". This system may be a member of the "diorite-type" porphyry copper model but additional work is needed in order to verify this determination. In addition, JRA Geophysics, Inc. reviewed geophysical surveys over La Balsa that had been carried out previously by others. The regional airborne magnetic survey indicates that the main La Balsa mineralization lies in an area where a north-south fault intersects an ENE - WSW striking, regional magnetic high feature. The induced polarization survey data over this area suggests that a 600 meter long sulfide bearing zone exists along the ENE - WSW axis. The zone remains open to the west, north, south and to depth. Locating the primary source of mineralization at La Balsa could generate tremendous upside potential for Fischer-Watt. This exploration work will not, however, impede the preparation and implementation of the feasibility study for the mining of the surface oxide zones. Metallurgical testing was commenced at Mountain States R&D International, Inc. in Vail, Arizona and was completed, as scheduled, by the end of June, 2002. The core from the various mineralized zones was characterized into three distinct ore types, namely oxide ore, transitional ore and primary sulfide ore. The head grades of the samples were representative of each of the ore types, namely, oxide ore at 2.75% copper, transitional ore at 1.78% copper and primary sulfide ore at 1.09% copper. Two sets of samples were prepared, one at a crush size of (-) 1 inch and the other at (-) 1/2 inch. These two sets of samples were column leached for 100 days. The (-) 1/2 inch samples returned the best results. The copper recovery in both the oxide and transitional ores was excellent and acid consumption was low in both cases. The recovery curves for the (-) 1/2 inch samples showed good leaching characteristics with a total recovery of 93.9% of the copper in the oxide ore and 92.4% of the copper in the transitional ore. The data from the column leach tests was evaluated by Leach, Inc. for the purpose of projecting copper recoveries under various commercial operating scenarios. The test data indicated that copper recovery is controlled by the availability of the leaching reagents and it was calculated that 90 to 92 percent of the copper could be solubilized in 123 days of leaching using typical heap leach operating parameters. Copper recoveries would be somewhat lower than this in practice due to normal inventory build up in the leach heaps and because of operating inefficiencies. Comparable recoveries can be attained in the period 13 between 76 and 245 days of leaching by varying the operating parameters. The precise operating parameters have not yet been established and will be the subject of the engineering design program currently being planned. The third ore group, the primary sulfide ore, is derived from the deeper La Balsa porphyry mineralization. At the present time this primary sulfide resource represents the second phase of mining that would take place at the property after the oxide and transitional ores have been mined. Copper recovery of 41.7% was much lower in this ore, as expected, and acid consumption was high. However, some interesting metallurgical opportunities were brought to light during the testing. For example, preliminary testwork has indicated that Heavy Media Separation can significantly upgrade this primary sulfide ore prior to flotation. In this way some of the gangue, or waste material, is separated from the ore minerals in a pre-concentration step thereby reducing the quantity of material that has to be treated in the following stage. This reduction would likely appreciably lower the capital cost of the processing plant. There are other options available also for treating the primary sulfide ore and they will be examined as the development of the oxide and transitional sulfide ore moves forward. Compilation of the feasibility study is now underway and will take several months to complete. 2.9 Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements -------------------------------------------------------- In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"), the Company is hereby providing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Reform Act) made by or on behalf of the Company herein or orally, whether in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as "will result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimated", "projection" and "outlook") are not historical facts and may be forward-looking and, accordingly, such statements involve estimates, assumptions, and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Such uncertainties include, among other, the following: (i) the Company's ability to obtain additional financing to implement its business strategy; (ii) adverse weather conditions and other conditions beyond the control of the Company; (iii) imposition of new regulatory requirements affecting the Company; (iv) a downturn in general or local economic conditions where the Company operates; (v) effect of uninsured loss and (vi) other factors which are described in further detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors. Further, management cannot assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. 14 Item 3 - Other Information 3.1 Legal Proceedings --------------------- None 3.2 Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds --------------------------------------------- None 3.3 Defaults in Senior Securities --------------------------------- None 3.4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. -------------------------------------------------------- None 3.5 Other Information --------------------- None 3.6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K ------------------------------------ (a) Exhibits Exhibit No 99.1 Certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
