FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (Hereinafter referred to as Registrant.) Condensed financial statements, and an accompanying independent accountants' report, are filed as part of this Quarterly Report at pages 7 to 28. In management's opinion, these financial statements present fairly in all material respects Registrant's financial condition and changes in condition as of March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996, and the results of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and from inception on February 17, 1994 through March 31,1997, in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Celebration Mining Company and Royal Silver Mines, Inc. due to the Reorganization discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements following this Report. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Also, the consolidation required a change in fiscal year-end, from November 30 (Celebration) to September 30 (Royal). The financial statements account for the Reorganization using the purchase method of accounting (see Note 1 to the financial statements). Celebration is treated as the acquiring company for financial reporting purposes because its shareholders constitute greater than 50 percent of the combined shareholder group. In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and the Registrant's accounting policy, Celebration is recognized as the predecessor entity. Consequently, Celebration's assets and liabilities were not adjusted in the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements for the period from the inception of Celebration on February 17, 1994 to November 30, 1994 ("Fiscal 1994") do not include the balance sheet data or results of operations of Consolidated Royal Mines, Inc. The accompanying financial statements represent the activities of Royal Silver Mines and Celebration, but are not considered consolidated financial statements since Royal Silver is the successor to Celebration. As discussed in greater detail under Item 2 below, a substantial portion of Registrant's assets consist of investments in mineral properties for which additional exploration is required to determine if they contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The realization of these investments is contingent to large extent upon the success of Registrant's property transactions as a whole, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Registrant to obtain financing or make other arrangements for development, and upon future profitable production. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements make no provision for any asset impairment or other adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 3 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. There is considerable risk in any mining venture, and there can be no assurance that the Registrant's operations will be successful or profitable. Exploration for commercially minable ore deposits is highly speculative and involves risks greater than those involved in the discovery of mineralization. Mining companies use the evaluation work of professional geologists, geophysicists, and engineers in determining whether to acquire an interest in a specific property, or whether or not to commence exploration or development work. These estimates are not always scientifically exact, and in some instances result in the expenditure of substantial amount of money on a property before it is possible to make a final determination as to whether or not the property contains economically minable ore bodies. The economic viability of a property cannot be finally determined until extensive exploration and development work, plus a detailed economic feasibility study, has been performed. Also, the market prices for mineralization produced are subject to fluctuation and uncertainty, which may negatively affect the economic viability of properties on which expenditures have been made. During the development stage of the Registrant, from inception to March 31, 1997, the Registrant accumulated a deficit of $4,129,585. At March 31, 1997, $4,633,920 of the Registrant's total assets of $6,492,652 were investments in mineral properties. Additional exploration is required to substantiate or determine whether these mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The realization of these investments is dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Registrant to obtain financing, the Registrant's success in carrying out its present plans or making other arrangements for development, and upon future profitable production. The ultimate outcome of these investments cannot be determined at this time; accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may result, in the event the Registrant is not successful in developing or selling these properties, has been made in the Registrant's financial statements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Registrant currently has no revenues but, as explained above, has an accumulated deficit. Although it has recurring losses from operations, the Registrant has increased its operating capital and improved its financial condition and ability. Regarding its losses from operations, the Registrant cannot assure that it will be able to fully carry out its plans as budgeted without additional operating capital. At March 31, 1997, the Registrant had working capital of $1,812,154. This amount is a significant improvement in liquidity and capital resources from its working capital position of $390,852 at December 31, 1996 and of $686,573 at September 30, 1996. In the three months ending March 31, 1997, the Registrant's working capital 4 has increased by $1,421,302 primarily because of the cash stock sales of $1,868,250 in this quarter and the reduction of all remaining short-term debt. During the same three month period, the Registrant's cash increased from $347,505 to $1,730,124. In the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Registrant reduced its short-term debt position to $0 by paying off a $35,000 promissory note. In the same quarter, the Registrant reduced its accrued expenses and accounts payable. Accordingly, the Registrant's current liabilities shrank from $81,534 at December 31, 1996 to $34,869 at March 31, 1997. The Registrant has no long-term debt. The Registrant has estimated that it will need minimal capital resources of approximately $40,000-50,000 per month to meet its estimated expenditures for fiscal 1997. In 1996, acting on instructions from the Board, several key members of management, in particular the CEO of the Registrant, met with experienced financial and investment firms through out Europe and North America and negotiated preliminary terms and arrangements for such capital fund raising. During the second fiscal quarter of 1997, the Registrant raised $1,871,250 in funds, primarily through the private placement of shares and warrants. The Registrant is continuing with the previously described negotiations and various alternatives to raise capital. The Board of Directors reasonably believes that the Registrant is able to engage in nearly any size operation or scope of mining activity depending on the circumstances and merits of each proposed operation or mining activity. Accordingly, the Board has not limited the size of operation or scope of project which it believes is reasonable for management to consider in achieving the Registrant's business plan. Therefore, management has been authorized to consider and review numerous proposals and, upon satisfactory assessment, to then make a specific determination as to an estimated range of funding amounts that each such proposal reasonably might require. Inasmuch as the Registrant has not yet determined in detail the specifications of the project, operation or mining activity that it intends to undertake, management is not able at this time to provide a detailed listing or exact range of operation costs, including increases in general and administrative expense, if any. However, the Registrant plans to fund any increases in general and administrative expense principally from joint venture revenues or funds it may receive or savings it may realize through corporate restructuring or business combination arrangements. Funds required to finance the Registrant's exploration and development of mineral properties are expected to come primarily from the contributions of its joint venture participants, and from the funds generated from such joint ventures and other lease or royalty arrangements. 5 The Registrant consistently has made full and timely payment of its expenses, in particular to the various governmental payees it interacts with, and has met its obligations to the entities which provide its personnel, office space, and equipment needs. The Registrant currently is seeking alternate sources of working capital sufficient to increase the funding of additional general and administrative expenses that may become necessary as the Registrant's business plan develops, and to continue meeting its ongoing payment obligations for its leases to governmental entities. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased from $414,189 during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1996 to $570,271 during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1997. This increase is principally due to an increase in the cost of fundraising associated with the Registrant's recent private placements of its stock. Also, during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 the Registrant wrote off $238,887 of mineral properties associated with its investment in the Bunker Hill Mine. As a result, during the six months of fiscal 1996 compared to the first six months of fiscal 1997, the Registrant's net loss increased from $651,929 to $1,071,768, while the net loss per share increased from $0.08 to $0.10 per share. The Registrant is unable to fully determine the impact of future transactions on its operating capital. Hence, the Registrant has determined not to incur and does not have any commitments or plans for material capital expenditures during the remainder of its current fiscal year for which it does not have a reasonably available source of payment. It is uncertain what effect this decision may have with respect to restricting capital expenditures. On the one hand, if the Registrant were to continue such restriction, the likely effect might be adverse to the preservation of its assets and capital base, thereby narrowing the scope of plans for future operations and constricting liquidity. On the other hand, if the Registrant were to discontinue such restriction without an increase in sustained cash flow, the likely effect of that might be an increase in accumulated deficits which could be adverse to the Registrant's financial condition with respect to liabilities and stockholders' equity. Therefore, while the Registrant continues to seek a joint venture participant and additional sources of capital for financing operations during the remainder of its current fiscal year, the Registrant will continue to carefully monitor its capital expenditures. 6 - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- SIGNATURES - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The balance sheet for the year ended September 30, 1996 was audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated December 13, 1996. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date. Williams & Webster, P.S. Certified Public Accountants Spokane, Washington May 9, 1997 F-1 9 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC.

27 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Royal Silver Mines, Inc. (Royal) was incorporated in April of 1969 under the laws of the State of Utah primarily for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. Royal conducts its business as a "junior" natural resource company, meaning that it intends to receive income from property sales or joint ventures with larger companies. Celebration Mining Company (Celebration), currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal was incorporated for the purpose of identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. Celebration was organized on February 17, 1994 as a Washington Corporation. Celebration has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. On August 8, 1995, Royal and Celebration completed an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the Company issued 4,143,750 shares of its common stock and 1,455,000 warrants in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Celebration. Pursuant to the reorganization the name of the Company was changed to Royal Silver Mines, Inc. Immediately prior to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Company had 2,375,463 common shares issued and outstanding. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase by Celebration of Royal, because the shareholders of Celebration control the company after the acquisition. Therefore, Celebration is treated as the acquiring entity. There was no adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities of Royal in the exchange as the market value approximated the net carrying value. Royal is the acquiring entity for legal purposes and Celebration is the surviving entity for accounting purposes. The $4,633,920 cost of mineral properties included in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 is related to exploration properties. The Company has not determined whether the exploration properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in exploration properties is dependent upon the success of future property sales, the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing or make other arrangements for development and upon future profitable production. The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in exploration properties cannot be determined at this time and, accordingly, no provision for any asset impairment that may result, in the event the Company is not successful in developing or selling these properties, has been made in the accompanying financial statements. F-12 28 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Continued) The Company is actively seeking additional capital and management believes the properties can ultimately be sold or developed to enable the Company to continue its operations. However, there are inherent uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore, the Company is in the development stage as it has not realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Method The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Loss Per Share Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighing them by the amount of time they were outstanding. The outstanding warrants were not included in the computation of loss per share because the exercise price of the outstanding warrants is higher than the market price of the stock, thereby causing the warrants to be antidilutive. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Mineral Properties Costs of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties are capitalized by project area. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area. F-13 29 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Concentration of Risk The Company maintains its cash accounts in primarily one commercial bank in Spokane, Washington. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. One of the Company's cash accounts is a business checking account with a balance of $229,059 at March 31, 1997 which exceeds the FDIC threshold by $129,059. The remaining cash account is a "liquid asset account" in the amount of $1,500,000, which is invested in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury notes/bonds. Provision For Taxes At March 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,800,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2011. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements as the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the net operating loss carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." This new standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. In complying with this standard, the Company has reviewed its long-lived assets at March 31, 1997 and concluded that no events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company does not believe that adoption of the new standard will have a material effect on its financial statements in the current fiscal year. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new statement titled "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation " (FAS 123). The new statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments to employees based on fair value. Companies that do not adopt the fair value accounting rules must disclose the impact of adopting the new method in the notes to the financial statements. Transactions in equity instruments with non-employees for goods or services must be accounted for on the fair value method. The Company currently intends to adopt the fair value accounting prescribed by FAS 123. However, the Company intends to continue its analysis of FAS 123 to determine its ultimate effect in the future. F-14 30 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES Utah Mining Property Joint Venture In October 1994, Celebration and United Silver Mine, Inc., (United ) entered into a joint venture agreement, whereby Celebration could acquire up to an 80% interest in a mining property located in the State of Utah. Under the terms of the agreement, United contributed real properties for an initial 75% interest in the joint venture, and Celebration was to remove all liens associated with the real properties by paying $175,000 to a bank which was the primary lien holder for its initial 25% interest in the venture. Celebration expended $175,000 to purchase the aforementioned promissory note. The property was auctioned in a public auction in May, 1995 and by virtue of Celebration's first position lien, Celebration was able to successfully bid the full amount of the underlying promissory note. Although additional expenditures have been made on the property through March 31, 1997, no further funds toward the joint venture have been expended by Celebration, which owns an undivided 25% interest in the property. Shoshone County Idaho Mineral Lease (Crescent Mine) In February 1995, Celebration entered into an agreement to acquire a fifty-year renewable mineral lease on a property in Shoshone County, Idaho. The mining property consists of twelve patented claims and associated Idaho state leases. In connection with this lease, Celebration paid $50,000 and issued 175,000 shares of common stock. In addition, 10,000 shares were issued to a new director for his assistance in obtaining this lease. Celebration subsequently paid $950,000 for the option of extending its lease for an additional forty-nine years. When, and if, the property achieves gross sales of $40,000,000, Celebration will be obligated to pay an additional 0.5% royalty on future sales. Furthermore, beginning after September 1, 1995, and at such time as the average price of silver has reached $6.00 per ounce for a 30-day period, Celebration is obligated to spend not less than $2,000,000 during the subsequent 36 months to de-water and repair the mine. Thereafter, Celebration will be required to maintain the mine in a condition to allow it to be put into production within sixty days. There are certain claims by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the County on this property for which the lessor is obligated to pay. In the event these claims are not satisfactorily resolved, they may effect Celebration's rights to the property. F-15 31 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued) Australian Mineral Property Joint Venture In March 1995, Celebration entered into a joint venture agreement with an Australian company for exploration of a certain mineral property in Australia. Under the original terms of the joint venture agreement, Celebration acquired a 10% interest by paying $100,000 in April 1995. No additional funds where paid or required to be paid subsequent to the initial payment. Washington and Idaho Mineral Properties During the year ended September 30, 1995, Celebration purchased through the issuance of 800,000 shares of its common stock, various mineral properties located in the States of Washington and Idaho. The mineral properties were recorded at the fair market value of the shares paid on the date of issuance ranging from $3.13 to $3.25 per share for a total purchase price of $2,538,126. In May 1996, the Company sold back the Frisco Standard Silver Mine to its original seller in exchange for the same price (35,000 shares of Royal stock) received by the seller when the mine was purchased. The shares received were canceled and no gain or loss was recorded on the transaction. The Company's proposed future mining activities will be subject to laws and regulations controlling not only the exploration and mining of mineral properties, but also the effect of such activities on the environment. Compliance with such laws and regulations may necessitate additional capital outlays, affect the economics of a project, and cause changes or delays in the Company's activities. Argentina Properties On February 10, 1997 the Company announced that it has negotiated an option to buy 12 different potential mine sites in Argentina. Under the agreement, the Company can buy the properties on or before March 1, 2000, by paying $4,500,000 in cash or $5,500,000 in Royal Silver common stock, subject to certain conditions including the Seller's retention of a 1.95% net smelter royalty on the mines. To date, none of the options have been exercised. Mexico Properties On January 20, 1997, the Company executed an agreement to acquire four mining properties in Nayarit, Mexico. The agreement calls for a purchase price of $5,000,000 to be paid at the rate of 10% of pre-tax net profits from production. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the properties' owner $50,000 per year or, alternatively, to spend $250,000 on exploration and development annually until the properties are brought into production or forfeited. F-16 32 ROYAL SILVER MINES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued) At March 31, 1997, no funds had been expended to maintain, acquire, explore or develop the aforementioned Mexican properties.

NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful life of the assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets of five years. NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS Deferred debt issuance costs and organization costs are recorded at cost. Amortization of these intangible assets is determined using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets as follows: Description Useful Lives Deferred debt issuance costs 1 year Organization costs 5 years NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK During the year ended November 30, 1994, Celebration issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to directors for services rendered, valued at $.003 to $.625 per share, which is the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance. During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company issued 12,750 shares of common stock to directors and employees for services rendered, valued at prices ranging from $2.00 to $2.50 per share, which is the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS In January 1992, the shareholders of Royal approved a 1992 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan under which up to ten percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock could be awarded based on merit of work performed. As of March 31, 1997, 12,750 shares of common stock have been awarded under the Plan. Celebration, prior to the exchange agreement with Royal, had granted securities to certain shareholders which represented rights to purchase or receive shares of Celebration's common stock. These options were assumed by the Company after the merger at a rate of 1.5 shares for each option still outstanding. Thus, the Company has granted options, with varying conditions and requirements, to purchase a total of 1,455,000 shares of its common stock. There are 255,000 of the stock options exercisable at $1.50 per share which expire March 21, 2000.

(A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL March 31, 1997 NOTE 12- OPTIONS WITH PLACER MINING CORPORATION In April 1996, the Company entered into an option with Placer Mining Corporation ("Placer") of Kellogg, Idaho whereby the Company could acquire a joint venture interest in the Bunker Hill Mine, a silver-lead-zinc mine in Shoshone County, Idaho. After issuing 100,000 shares valued at $1.50 per share and spending a non-refundable $50,000 on this option, the Company elected to re-negotiate this option agreement and entered into a second option agreement with Placer on September 18, 1996. In the second agreement, the Company paid $100,000 in September 1996 for the non-assignable option of acquiring a 100% interest in the Bunker Hill Mine. In order to exercise this option, the Company must issue 500,000 shares of its common stock to Placer by May 10, 1997 and pay Placer either $7,000,000 by that date or $4,000,000 by that date and $3,500,000 by May 10, 1998. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will pay Placer a 2 3/4% net smelter return royalty in perpetuity with stipulated annual advance minimum royalty payments to Placer ranging from $100,000 (in 1999) to $250,000 (in years 2002 through 2010). All advance minimum royalties paid are to be credited against actual production royalties. Subsequent to March 31, 1997, due to regional environmental concerns and the prospect of related litigation, the Company concluded that it would not exercise its option on the Bunker Hill Mine. Accordingly, the $238,887 in option costs and related expenses toward the purchase of this property have been written off in the quarter ended March 31, 1997. NOTE 13 - STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT WITH CENTURION MINES CORPORATION In September 1996, the Company executed an agreement with Centurion Mines Corporation ("Centurion") whereby the Company acquired an option from Centurion to purchase up to 800,000 shares of its common stock held by Centurion for the exercise price of $1.75 per share during the two-year period ending September 30, 1998. The cost of this two-year stock purchase option was $50,000, which was paid by the Company and charged to stockholders' equity (accumulated deficit). At March 31, 1997, no shares were acquired from Centurion under this option agreement. F-22 EX-27 2
