AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED) (1) Basis Of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("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, 1998 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 subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Loss per share Basic loss per common share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted information is not presented as the effect of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive (2) Inventories Inventories consist of gold and silver produced by the Company's Colombian mining operations, work in process, raw materials used in the production process and operating supplies. Gold and silver inventories are stated at their selling prices reduced by the estimated cost of disposal. Raw materials and operating supplies used in the production process are stated at the lower of cost or replacement value. Production expenses are included in work in process inventories using an average cost of production method and work in process inventories are stated at their lower of cost or net realizable value. (4) Stockholders' Equity No changes from the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 1998. (3) Commitments and contingencies Upon the purchase of GRC the Company assumed GRC's liabilities related to transactions governed by Colombian law concerning the movement of foreign currency into and out of Colombia. The Colombian government has the right to request an audit of foreign currency movement within a two year time frame. No request or notice of an audit has been received from the Colombian government to date. Therefore, the likelihood of a loss resulting from the actions of GRC prior to the Company's purchase cannot presently be determined. In connection with the purchase of GRC, Greenstone Resources Canada Ltd. ("Greenstone") agreed to reimburse the Company for certain liabilities existing at the date of purchase in excess of $1,000,000. Subject to final assessment of liabilities and GRC's right to offset certain assets against liabilities, the Company estimates this excess of liabilities to be $309,000. Management is demanding Greenstone to fund its share of these excess liabilities in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and, however no receivable from Greenstone has been accrued. Oronorte is currently the defendant in several claims relating to labor contracts and employee terminations which occurred during a labor strike. This strike and the resulting terminations took place during the former ownership of Oronorte. The estimated amount of the claims against Oronorte totals approximately $200,000. The Company is currently seeking to recover this estimated amount of the claims from Greenstone in connection with the excess liabilities discussed above. 6 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in financial condition since January 31, 1998 and material changes in the results of operations for the six months ended July 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations" included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 1998. General Organization And Business Fischer-Watt Gold Company, Inc. ("Fischer-Watt" or the "Company"), its subsidiaries, and joint ventures are engaged in the business of mining and mineral exploration. Operating activities of the Company include locating, acquiring, exploring, developing, improving, selling, leasing and operating mineral interests, principally those involving precious metals. The Company presently has mineral interests in North Central Colombia. The Company's current operational focus is its Oronorte properties, a producing gold mine near Zaragosa, Colombia. The Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, currently operates in one business segment. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Short-Term Liquidity As of July 31, 1998, the Company had $62,000 in cash and accounts payable of $4,229,000. On July 31, 1998, 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. The management intends to correct this situation by planned improvements in the Colombian operations. Management anticipates achieving levels of production sufficient to fund the Company's operating needs by the end of fiscal 2000 and, in the interim, anticipates that it will fund operations with the cash raised from debt and equity financing. In addition the exploration activities have been reduced to contractual obligations and significant staff reductions have taken place in both the U. S. and Colombia. A new labor contract is being negotiated and a mine employee reduction is anticipated. The Colombian operations have experienced labor strikes, work slow downs and general unrest. Every effort is being made to eliminate these problems but success can not be assured. Fischer-Watt incurred net losses of $3,938,000 in fiscal 1997 and $1,540,000 for the period ended July 31, 1998. The Company continues to experience negative cash flow and losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that as the El Limon Mine gold property held by Oronorte is further developed and production levels increase, sufficient cash flows will exist to fund the Company's mining operations and exploration and development efforts in other areas. Management anticipates achieving levels of production sufficient to fund the Company's operating needs by the end of fiscal 2000, and until then will fund operations with cash raised from future equity or debt financings, the anticipated exercise of common stock warrants, and disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. Expenditures for exploration projects may also be reduced, if necessary. 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 7 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 the early part of the third quarter of fiscal 2000. 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 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. From March 11, 1997 through April 16, 1997, the Company conducted a private placement in the United States. The estimated net proceeds from this offering of $442,000 are to finance the Company's working capital requirements and needs related to further development, expansion, and exploration of mining properties. This offering consisted of the sale of 459,000 units at $1.06 per unit. Each unit was composed of two shares of Fischer-Watt common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each of these warrants entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of Fischer-Watt common stock at an exercise price of $.75 through February 28, 1999. These securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Pursuant to agreements among Greenstone Resources Ltd. ("Greenstone"), Dual Resources Ltd.("Dual"), and the Company, Greenstone made a payment of $300,000 to Dual to acquire 2,800,000 shares of Oronorte common stock for the benefit of the Company. The Company's obligation to repay Greenstone this $300,000 is evidenced by a note payable which bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. This note became payable, in full, on June 20, 1996 at which time the Company withheld payment while negotiating the settlement of amounts owed to the Company by Greenstone. Long-Term Liquidity It is likely that the Company will need to supplement anticipated cash from operations with future debt or equity financings and dispositions of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties to fully fund its future business plan which 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 financings or that such capital raising opportunities will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. At July 31, 1998 the Company's current portion of long term debt was $814,000. During fiscal 1997, the Company delivered to Kennecott Exploration Company a promissory note in the amount of $700,000, which bears interest at an annual interest rate equal to the prime or base rate, or legal rate, if less. Principal and interest are due on Demand or at the option of the Company, by issuance of 1,000,000 (one million) shares of the Company's stock. The Company's option to issue shares in satisfaction of this debt is subject to a limitation that Kennecott's ownership of Fischer-Watt cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding voting common stock. Discussions are taking place between the Company and Kennecott concerning adjustment of this debit. Results of Operations - --------------------- The Company had net loss of $292,000 ($.01 per share) compared to net loss of $597,000 ($.02 per share) in the quarter's ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Revenues - -------- The Company had sales of precious metals of $1,498,000 representing 2,830 ounces of gold shipped in the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The Company had sales of precious metals of $1,466,000 representing 4533 ounces of gold shipped during the quarter ended July 31, 1997. The Company does not presently employ forward sales contracts or engage in any hedging activities. 8 Costs and Expenses - ------------------ Production costs totaled $1,488,000 and $1,430,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1998, and July 31, 1997, respectively. The increase of approximately $58,000 from the prior year is the result of statup costs related to the commissioning of the cyanidation plant t the El Limon. The cost of abandoned mineral interests was $-0- in quarters ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Abandonments 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 costs increased $22,000 from $382,000 in quarter ended July 31, 1997 to $485,000 in the quarter ending July 31, 1998. This increase was the result of cost related to staff reductions in both the U. S. and Colombia. Exploration expense increased to $149,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $72,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase is due to increased exploration activity related to the El Carman mine in Colombia. Net interest expense decreased slightly from $ 74,000 during the quarter ended July 31, 1997 to $20,000 during the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The Company is subject to inflationary pressures of the Colombian economy. During the past year the rate of inflation in Colombia was approximately 20%, wherein the currency exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Colombian peso increased by only 8%. The Company is striving to implement cost-cutting measures in an effort to reduce per unit production costs and increase production efficiencies. These cost-cutting measures include overhead reduction at both the mine and Medellin office, and improved grade control. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve such cost cutting measures and production efficiencies. In addition, the Company cannot anticipate what the future inflation and exchange rates will be and therefore cannot accurately predict the aggregate effect of these factors. Other income (expenses) was $356,00 for the quarter ending July 31, 1998 and $(10,000) for the same period in 1997. This increase was primarily from the sale of certain physical assets in Colombia which were no longer required by the Company. Commitments and Contingencies - ----------------------------- Foreign companies operating in Colombia, South America, may be subject to discretionary audit by the Colombian Government in respect of their monetary exchange declarations. Any such audit by the Colombian Government must be initiated within two years of filing an exchange declaration. While the Company has not received any notice of intention from the Colombian Government to conduct such an audit and the Company has no reason to believe that the Colombian Government will conduct such an audit in respect of Donna Ltd., the Company has the right to claim indemnity from Greenstone Resources Canada Limited pursuant to the terms of agreements made regarding the acquisition of Greenstone of Colombia, Ltd. and the Oronorte properties. In connection with the purchase of GRC, Greenstone agreed to reimburse the Company for certain liabilities, including contingent liabilities, existing at the date of purchase in excess of $1,000,000. At the present time, the Company has paid or identified as current payables approximately $309,000 in excess of the $1,000,000. Management is seeking to recover these excess liabilities from Greenstone in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. 9 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 the Colombian unit 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. Going Concern Consideration - --------------------------- As the independent certified public accountants have indicated in their report on the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 1998, and as shown in the financial statements, the Company has experienced significant operating losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficits of $11,195,174 and $12,422,512 at January 31, 1998 and July 31, 1998 respectively. In addition, for the year ended January 31, 1998 and the quarter ended July 31, 1998 the Company reported losses of $3,937,667 and $427,338 respectively and at July 31, 1998 had a working capital deficit of $2,022,250. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that as the El Limon Mine gold property held by Oronorte is further developed and production levels increase, sufficient cash flows will exist to fund the Company's mining operations and exploration and development efforts in other areas. Management anticipates achieving levels of production sufficient to fund the Company's operating needs by the end of fiscal 2000, and until then it will fund operations with cash raised from future equity or debt financings, the anticipated exercise of common stock warrants, and disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. Expenditures for exploration projects may also be reduced, if necessary. 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 the early part of fiscal 2000. 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 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. The Company has been subject to labor unrest at its El Limon mine. His has taken the form of slow downs and a higher than normal absenteeism. Efforts to correct this are ongoing. Year 2000 Compliance: - --------------------- The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two (2) digits rather than the four (4) digits to define the year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This problem could force computers to either shut down or provide incorrect data or information. The Company utilizes generic software programs developed, maintained and upgraded by independent computer software providers. In response to the Year 2000 issue, management is of the opinion that the providers of these software programs will resolve the date sensitive issue so that all critical systems will be in compliance prior to the Year 2000. In addition, the Company has taken measures to resolve Year 2000 issues by upgrading its computer network systems. The Company does not anticipate any material adverse impact on its business. 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 10 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. 11 Part II: Other Information Item 1: Legal Proceedings None Item 2: Changes in Securities None.
