Description of Business The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 10, 1988, under the name Andraplex Corporation, for the primary purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain capital to take advantage of business opportunities which may have the potential for profit. From inception until December 12, 1991 the primary activity of the Company was directed to organizational efforts, obtaining initial financing, completion of its public offering on November 27, 1989 and identification of a business opportunity. As of the date of this report, the Company is principally engaged in the metals mining business. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company did not engage in any material business due primarily to a lack of available funds with which to develop its properties. The Company owns those certain mining properties discussed hereinbelow, but has not commenced development of these properties, except as described herein. The Company's mining properties include the following: a. Three patented mining claims and 22 lode and placer claims, all located in the Yaak Mining District, Lincoln County, Montana, adjoining the Company's properties discussed hereinbelow. These properties were acquired from Rio Bravo Resources, Ltd. and Troy Gold Resources, Ltd. by quit claim deed in November 1993. However, the sellers were unable to deliver proper title to these properties in 1993. Effective August 30, 1995, all title problems to these properties were resolved to the Company's satisfaction. Title to these properties was provided by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Included on each of the aforesaid properties is the Morning Glory gold vein, which has a long and prosperous mining production history dating back to the late 1800's, producing both gold and silver. It was mined intermittently from 1893 to 1937, with production out of a known short section producing 53,000 tons with indicated recovered grades of approximately 0.28 OPT Au and 1.0 OPT Ag. Noranda Mines, Ltd., Toronto Canada drilled the property during the 1970's and reported drill indicated reserves of in excess of 542,000 tons of .0.140 and 1.44 OPT Ag. within 2,000 feet of the Morning Glory Mine. The structure remained open in all directions. Wm. Ernest Simmons, President and a director of the Company, was employed as U.S. Manager of mine development for Mining Corp., Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Noranda, during the period of time when this drilling activity took place. b. Ninety three lode claims located in the Yaak River Valley in northwestern Montana, approximately 15 miles northwest of Troy, Montana. -3- c. A lease-option to purchase the mining and mineral rights for 6 lode and millsite claims and 1 patent, located in the Yaak River Valley, adjacent to the property referenced above. These properties together total approximately 2,000 acres. The lease- option requires annual payments of $7,500 and are payable to an unaffiliated party. The Company has paid all balances due under the lease-option agreement due as of the date of this report. The Company has not begun mining on its Montana properties and is currently seeking interested parties to join with the Company, either as limited partners and/or joint venture partners, for the purpose of mining its properties. There are no assurances that the Company will locate and reach agreement with any other independent party to provide the funding for commencement of mining operations. Further, the Company does not have sufficient funds available to commence mining operations on these properties for its own account, nor is such funding expected to become available to the Company in the future. Additionally, if such mining operations are commenced, there can be no assurances that the Company will recover any gold or silver under positive economic circumstances, or at all. Other Business Activities In addition, the Company is General Partner of the Yaak River Resources, Timber Division, L.P., a Colorado limited partnership (the "Partnership"), which intends to harvest timber located on properties presently owned by the United States government and to be patented (and subsequently owned) by the Company. The Partnership intends to harvest timber and develop certain mineral resources located on defined mining claims and patented claims presently owned or controlled by the Company. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership only engaged in administrative activities. Competition The Company is a small mining company which has not commenced mining activities as of the dates of this report. The Company is not competitive with other larger and better financed mining companies. Government Regulations The Company's operation is subject to numerous federal and state governmental regulations, including environmental laws, as they relate to mining activities, compliance to which will require considerable capital expenditures, the aggregate amount of which have not been calculated at the date of this report. Management of the Company believes that the Company is in compliance with all applicable governmental regulations as of the date of this report. -4- Employees The Company's employees consist of Wm. Ernest Simmons, its President, who performs his services to the Company without compensation. See "Item 10, Executive Compensation" below. The Company does not have any other employees at the date of this report. The officers operate the Company under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Company does not contemplate retaining any employees until mining activities are commenced. Item 2. Description of Property The Company's principal place of business is located at 830 S. Kline Way, Lakewood, Colorado 80226, which is the home of Mr. Simmons, President and a director of the Company. This property is provided to the Company on a rent free basis, except that the Company is obligated to pay for clerical functions, including copies, facsimile transmissions, telephone and other general and administrative matters, estimated by management not to exceed $200 per month. These premises include one office of approximately 280 square feet. Management of the Company believes that this space will be sufficient to meet the Company's needs during the next 12 months. The Company manages a group of 125 contiguous mining claims on properties located in the State of Montana. The Company's mining properties are located in Lincoln County, approximately 25 miles northwest of Troy, Montana, in Sections 8, 9, 16, 17, T28N, R33W, MPM, northwest of the deserted town of Sylvanite on the east side of Friday Hill, an offshoot of Keystone Mountain. Elevations of the properties are from approximately 2,500 to 4,800 feet above sea level. The properties are accessed by state and county roads and are heavily forested with larch, white fir, douglas fir and lodgepole pine. See "Item 1, Description of Business" for a more detailed description of the Company's mining properties. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company (or any of its officers and directors in their capacities as such) is a party or to which the property of the Company is subject and no such material proceeding is known by management of the Company to be contemplated as of the date of this report. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. There were no matters submitted to a vote of the security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. -5- PART II Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. The Company's Units, (comprised of one share of Series A Common Stock, one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant and one Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant), and the Company's Series A Common Stock are traded on the over-the-counter market on the OTC "Electronic Bulletin Board" operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbols YAAKU and YAAKA, respectively. The Company's securities began trading during the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 1992. Prior, there was no trading market for the Company's securities. Below are the reported high and low bid prices for the Company's Units and Common Stock for each quarter since March 1995. The bid prices shown reflect quotations between dealers, without adjustment for markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions in the Company's securities. Units: Bid Price Date High Low March 31, 1995 $.06 $.03 June 30, 1995 $.06 $.015 September 30, 1995 $.06 $.03 December 31, 1995 $.03 $.01 March 31, 1996 $.01 $.01 June 30, 1996 $.01 $.01 September 30, 1996 $.01 $.01 December 31, 1996 $.01 $.01 The Company's market maker for its securities is Paragon Capital. As of the date of this report, the Company had 42 shareholders, not including those persons holding their securities in "street name." The Company's securities are presently classified as "designated securities", which classification places significant restrictions upon broker-dealers desiring to make a market in such securities. As a result, it has been difficult for management to interest additional market makers in the Company's securities and it is anticipated that these difficulties will continue until such time as the Company is able to meet the criteria to qualify as a non-designated security to allow additional market makers to trade without complying with these stringent requirements. The Class A Warrant included in the Company's Units is exercisable at an exercise price of $.05 per share until July 6, 1997, unless otherwise extended by the Board of Directors. The Class B Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $.10 per -6- share until July 6, 1997, unless otherwise extended by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of the Warrants may be lowered but not increased at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors intend to extend the exercise period for the Class A and Class B Warrants to July 6, 1999. However, as of the date of this report, no action has been taken in this regard and there can be no assurance that the Board will so extend the exercise period of these Warrants. Dividends The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its Class A Common Stock to date. Management anticipates that future earnings, if any, will be retained as working capital and used for business purposes. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the Company will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition Plan of Operation In the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company did not generate any revenues from its operations and the Company is considered a development stage company. The plan of operation of the Company during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997 generally involves the acquisition of additional mineral claims and the taking to patent of a number of the claims acquired and to be acquired by the Company in the future. This was the same plan which the Company's Board of Directors had established for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, but the extended moratorium by the Federal Government on disallowing the taking of claims to patent has impacted the Company's financial capabilities to generate timber resources and has caused the Company to change its short term operating plan. The Company is now seeking the acquisition of mineral claims in an attempt to develop an attractive exploration portfolio to present to potential joint venture partner candidates. The Company incurred an operating loss during fiscal year 1996 of $19,842. The operations of the Company during the fiscal year 1996 were financed primarily by cash of $242, and a loan from the President of the Company of $12,100, and by a lease payment from the Partnership of $7,500. Additional costs were incurred related to legal and auditing fees. See "Item 12 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The Company is expected to continue to operate at a loss until earnings, if any, are received from the harvesting of the metal and non-metal resources known to exist within the boundaries of the Company's properties. The Company expects to continue without any cash revenues for at least the fiscal year 1997 and will continue to satisfy its cash -7- requirements for the next twelve months by loans and advances from the Partnership and/or officers and directors of the Company, providing that the Company does not commence mining activities. At present, the Company's financial resources are not sufficient to commence mining activities. In order to satisfy the Company's capital requirements for additional drilling and to develop a mining feasibility program, it will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional financing in the minimum estimated amount of $750,000. Management of the Company is continuing to seek possible interested partners to join with the Company in developing its mining claims. The Company is actively soliciting joint venture partners to expand its mining activities, based upon the valuation of the Company's claims and properties as reported in the independent engineering valuation report. The report also advised the Company to consolidate adjoining claims to make such joint ventures more attractive. As of the date of this report management is unaware of any third parties who are interested in joining with the Company in this regard. Exploration and mining activities of other mining companies in the surrounding area of Northern Montana and Canada in similar geological settings provides a basis for management to believe that it will be able to interest joint venturers in its proposed mining ventures. However, in the event the Company is unable to either solicit joint venture partners or otherwise obtain the capital deemed necessary in order to commence mining operations, it is possible that management will reconsider the Company's business plan and begin to seek out other viable business opportunities in order to provide the Company's shareholders with liquidity. The Company currently has no employees and relies upon the unpaid services of its officers for the operation of the Company. The contracted services of individuals will continue until it is justifiable to employ a full time employee. Item 7. Financial Statements. -8- YAAK RIVER RESOURCES, INC.
