See the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements -6- FISCHER-WATT GOLD COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2006 (UNAUDITED) (1) 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 and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 2006. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) Mineral Properties The Company holds a 65% interest in Minera Montoro S.A.de C.V. ("Montoro") which in turn has a 100% interest in mining concessions located in the state of Michoacan, Mexico, designated as the La Balsa property. Mr. Jorge E. Ordonez and his associates ("Ordonez") own the remaining 35% of Montoro. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Company executed a binding letter of agreement to sell its 65% interest in Montoro to Nexvu Capital Corp for a total consideration of $2,235,000. An initial deposit of $50,000 was received during the year ended January 31, 2006, with the first payment of $695,000 due April 30, 2006. On April 30, 2006 Nexvu paid $25,000 to the Company in order to extend the closing date from April 30, 2006 to May 31, 2006. Furthermore, on May 31, 2006, Nexvu paid an additional $25,000 to the Company to extend the closing date to June 30, 2006. The Company has not yet closed the transaction as outlined above. Certain accounting, taxation, and legal issues were outstanding but have now been resolved. Both Nexvu and the Company are now proceeding to final agreement and closing. The payment terms for the total purchase price of $2,235,000 call for payment of $695,000 on June 30, 2006 and equal payments of $745,000 on October 31, 2006 and April 30, 2007. The June 30, and October 31, 2006 payments have been delayed pending resolution of the issues. Assuming this transaction completes in its entirety, the Company will no longer hold any interests in Mexico. A closing is expected before the end of the fiscal year. -7- FISCHER-WATT GOLD COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2006 (UNAUDITED) In order to complete the sale to Nexvu Capital Corp, the Company repurchased a 21.6% interest in La Balsa project held by The Astra Ventures Inc. a holding company controlled by a former Chairman of the Company and a Director. The Company has agreed to repay capital contributions made by The Astra Ventures Inc to the Company in the sum of $864,068, to be repaid in conjunction with the receipt of proceeds from Nexvu Capital Corp. One-third of each payment received from Nexvu Capital Corp will be applied to the retirement of the debt to The Astra Ventures Inc. As consideration to The Astra Ventures Inc. for the lost business opportunity, the Company has agreed to grant an option to them for a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The option granted is for 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share, 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share and 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share. (3) Earnings Per Share The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods presented, common stock equivalents were not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. (4) Going Concern Consideration The Company has incurred substantial operating losses of $18,087,688 since inception and stockholders' deficit of $2,110,232 at October 31, 2006. The Company has negative working capital of $1,822,208 at October 31, 2006 and no revenue producing operations. These conditions raise substantial 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 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. (5) Stock-Based Compensation On July 27, 2006, the Company granted 2,500,000 options to directors of the Company and 150,000 options to two unaffiliated service providers. -8- FISCHER-WATT GOLD COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2006 (UNAUDITED) Effective February 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". 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 with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the three months ended July 31, 2006: expected life of options of 2 years, expected volatility of 1.227, risk-free interest rate of 3.8% and no dividend yield. The weighted average fair value at the date of grant for options granted during the quarter ended July 31, 2006 approximated $.04 per option. (6) Stockholders' (Deficit) Common Stock On May 5, 2006, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock in exchange for debt of $40,000. On July 26, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $14,000 to three unaffiliated service providers and 250,000 shares of common stock valued at $17,500 to the Company's President and CEO in exchange for services. On July 26, 2006, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $7,000 to the vendors in connection with its acquisition of the Cruce Gold Property in Pinal County, Arizona. On August 8, 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement with Grandcru Resources Corporation to acquire Grandcru's nineteen (19) claims in the Cambridge Mining District located south of Yerrington Nevada. After conducting due-diligence on the property, the Company paid the underlying property holder the sum of $10,000 per agreement. Additional payments of $15,000, $20,000 and $25,000 are due the property holder on August 25, in the years 2007, 2008, and 2009. Payments to Grandcru are due as follows: $10,000 on July 31, 2007, $15,000 on July 31, 2008, $20,000 on July 31, 2009 and $25,000 on July 31, 2010. Annual work commitments for the four years are $50,000 year one, $75,000 in year 2, $125,000 in year three and $150,000 in year four. Upon completion of the above, the Company will have earned a 100% interest in this gold property subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty to the property holder and a 2% net smelter return royalty to Grandcru. These two royalties may be purchased for $1,500,000 and $1,000,000 respectively. On September 7, 2006, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to a shareholder who exercised a warrant to acquire said stock at $0.04 per share. Payment was realized by reduction of accrued expense owed to the shareholder. -9- Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Overview -------- Fischer-Watt Gold Company, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Fischer-Watt", "FWG" or the "Company"), was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1986. Fischer-Watt's primary business is mining and mineral exploration, and to that end to own, acquire, improve, sell, lease, convey lands or mineral claims or any right, title or interest therein; and to search, explore, prospect or drill for and exploit ores and minerals therein or thereupon. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 the Company agreed to sell its 65% interest in Minera Montoro S.A. de C.V. ("Montoro") to Nexvu Capital Corp ("Nexvu") for a total consideration of $2,235,000. A deposit of $50,000 was received prior to the January 31, 2006 year end. Subsequent to the year end, Nexvu forwarded deposits of $25,000 each at the end of April and May, 2006 in order to defer the closing date to June 30, 2006. The Company advises that the administrative, accounting, and legal issues that have delayed final closing, have all been resolved and the Company expects to execute a final agreement and close this transaction in the near future. As part of the closing, the sum of $1,440,000 will be paid with the balance of $745,000 due April 30, 2007. Once the sale of the interest in Minera Montoro S.A. is completed, the Company will no longer hold any interest in Mexico. Montoro owns 100% of the La Balsa project. On December 5, 2005, the Company and The Astra Joint Venture ("Astra"), a company controlled by a director of Fischer-Watt, agreed to relinquish its 21.6% interest in the La Balsa project back to Fischer-Watt, thus returning Fischer- Watt's interest to 65%. Under terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to repay Astra the loans it has advanced to date of $864,028, in three equal installments. Each installment of $288,000 will come from payments made to the Company by Nexvu as part of their acquisition commitment to the Company as outlined above. As further consideration, Astra has also received stock options in the Company as follows: Series #1 - being an option to acquire 4,000,000 common shares at $0.30 per share. This option will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years. Series #2 - being an option to acquire an additional 4,000,000 common shares at $0.40 per share. This option will be exercisable for a period of seven (7) years. Series #3 - being an option to acquire an additional 2,000,000 common shares at $0.60 per share. This option will be exercisable for a period of ten (10) years. The Company on June 10, 2006, entered into an agreement with private individuals regarding a gold exploration project known as the Pinal Gold Project. This is now referred to as the Cruce property. This property is located in northwest Pinal County, Arizona and has a history of gold exploration. Under terms of the Agreement, the Company had a 60 day due diligence period to review details regarding the property. This due diligence was completed on August 7, 2006 and a payment of $15,000 has been made, for the purchase of a 100% mineral lease. The Company also reimbursed the vendors for the state bond. As part of the transaction the Company has issued 100,000 restricted common shares of its stock. The vendors will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty and receive an advance royalty of $20,000 on the first anniversary and $25,000 thereafter. All royalties are deductible from production. The Company continues to stake ground around the claims already purchased. -10- On August 8, 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement with Grandcru Resources Corporation of Vancouver B.C. to acquire Grandcru's nineteen (19) claims in the Cambridge Mining District located south of Yerrington, Nevada. Located in the Walker Lane geological trend of western Nevada, the Cambridge Vein is a north-south trending, gold-bearing quartz vein in a granitic host rock. The Company completed its due diligence and on August 25, 2006, paid $10,000 to the underlying property owner pursuant to the terms and conditions of its agreement and then started the earn-in period. No payments are due to Grandcru Resources Corporation until July 31, 2007 when a payment of $10,000 is due. The Company issued a press release on August 8, 2006 outlining the option agreement. The Company has cash on hand at October 31, 2006 of $81,461 and while its working capital deficit position of $1,822,208 brings to focus the ability of the Company to continue operations without further financing, a large portion of the current debt, being $1,834,943, is due to related parties where there are no specific terms of repayment for either of the Demand Notes, accrued expenses or interest owing. The Company also expects to realize net proceeds from the sale of the Minera Montoro S.A. transaction after repayment to The Astra Joint Venture. The following outlines results to date in the current fiscal year and outlines our plan of operation for the foreseeable future. It also analyzes our financial condition at October 31, 2006 and compares that condition to our financial condition at year-end January 31, 2006. Finally, we comment on the results of our operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2006. This information should be read in conjunction with the other financial information and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), especially our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 2006. Plan of Operation ----------------- The Company's plan of operation for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2007 is to complete the sale of Minera Montoro and to proceed with work on its recent property acquisitions in Arizona and Nevada. The Company continues to evaluate other mining properties in the western United States for possible acquisition and continues to explore various financing alternatives for the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- As of October 31, 2006, the Company had cash on hand of $81,461 and current liabilities of $1,903,669, including $1,834,943 owed to related parties. Current accounts payable amounted to $68,726. The working capital deficit at January 31, 2006 was $1,770,857 compared to $1,822,208 at October 31, 2006. This represents an increase in the working capital deficit of $51,351 for the nine months ending October 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the cash used in operations for the nine months ending October 31, 2006. There is no specific term of repayment for either the Demand Notes, accrued expenses or other debt due to related parties. While the working capital deficit of $1,822,208 is up by $51,351 in the current fiscal year, and despite the fact that most of the deficit is reflected in loans to related parties without specific terms of repayment, management recognizes that the Company does not have sufficient funds to sustain its operations. While the Company fully expects to close on the Montoro sale to Nexvu, there is no assurance this will occur nor is there a fixed date when it may occur. The Company continues to source out other appropriate financing in either equity or debt format, but there is no assurance said financing is available or will be obtained. -11- Results of Operations --------------------- For the nine months ended October 31, 2006, the Company has operating losses of $251,851 compared to a net loss for the corresponding nine month period ended October 31, 2005 of $207,934. The current nine month loss of $251,851, includes a non-cash activity of $106,000 regarding granting of stock options and the resulting expense. The current nine month period also includes sundry income of $50,000 from payments received in connection with the sale of Minera Montoro S.A to Nexvu. There was no comparable sundry income in the nine months ended October 31, 2005. Exploration expenses in the nine months ended October 31, 2006 amounted to $42,061 compared to $11,739 for the nine months ended October 31, 2005. Exploration in the current period related to the new Arizona property and the new Nevada property while exploration in 2005 related to projects no longer being pursued. The Company on June 11, 2006 entered into an agreement with private individuals regarding the Cruce Gold Project in northwest Pinal County, Arizona. This property has a history of gold exploration. Under terms of the Agreement, the Company had a 60 day due diligence period to review details regarding the property. The Company was satisfied with its findings and completed the initial payment of $15,000 and has issued 100,000 restricted common shares of the Company. The vendors will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty and receive an advance royalty of $20,000 on the first anniversary and $25,000 thereafter. All royalties are deductible from production. Minera Montoro ---------------- The Company owns 65% of Montoro, which in turn owns 100% of the La Balsa copper property in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. On June 1, 2005 Fischer-Watt entered into a Letter of Intent with Nexvu Capital Corp. of Vancouver ("Nexvu"), B.C., Canada, for the development of the La Balsa. On December 5, 2005, the Company entered into a Letter of Agreement with Nexvu Capital Corporation wherein Nexvu agreed to acquire the entire 65% interest in Montoro held by the Company for a total consideration of $2,235,000. The Agreement calls for payments as follows: On or before January 15, 2006 - the sum of $50,000. April 30, 2006 - the sum of $695,000. October 31, 2006 - the sum of $745,000. April 30, 2007 - the sum of $745,000. Because of the delay in closing, payments due at April 30, 2006 of $695,000 and payment due October 31, 2006 of $745,000 will be combined and paid at closing. This will leave the balance of $745,000 outstanding, which is due April 30, 2007. The closing was deferred by the mutual consent of the parties while the Company resolves accounting issues. As these have now been resolved, closing should occur shortly. The foregoing payments total $2,235,000 and Nexvu will acquire the entire 65% position held in Montoro by the Company. In addition to the above stated payments, the Company retains a 1% NSR royalty on the porphyry portion of the deposit. Nexvu will have an option to acquire 50% of the 1% NSR royalty for $1,000,000. If the property is not in production in seven (7) years, Nexvu will be obligated to acquire the 50% of the 1% NSR royalty for $1,000,000. -12- Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- Management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal action against the Company. 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. Going Concern Consideration --------------------------- As the independent certified public accountants have indicated in their report on the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006, and as shown in the financial statements, the Company has experienced significant operating losses that have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $18,087,688 at October 31, 2006. 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 2006. 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of assurance. -14- As of the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no material changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.
