Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

     The Company is considered to be in the development  stage as defined in the
Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards ("FASB") No.7.  Management believes
it will be able to satisfy its cash  requirements  through  debt  financing  and
sales of equity  through  private  placements  during  the next  twelve  months.
However,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company will be able to raise the
financing  required.  The Company  intends to assist other  mining  companies in
development,  process and/or operate junior mining  companies  through  majority
owned  subsidiaries  or investment  in other mining  companies  through  venture
capital arrangements.  If successful in acquisition program, the employees would
increase in  proportion  to the  company's  acquired.  At the  present  time the
Company has not submitted any proposals for potential acquisition.

     In the  next  twelve  months,  the  Company  plans  to  seek  out  business
opportunity  candidates.  To date,  the Company has  introduced  Birch  Mountain
Resources to several  analytical  labs and processes and a Finders Fee Agreement
has been  signed.  The  Board of  Directors  of Birch  Mountain  Resources  have
approved an agreement  dated the 25th day of June,  1999 with American  Precious
Metals, Inc. American Precious Metals, Inc. will receive 500,000 shares of Birch
Mountain  Resources  common  stock as a finder's  fee.  70% of the fee  (350,000
common  shares)  has  been  issued  to  American   Precious   Metals,   Inc.  in
consideration of introductions to third parties who have materially advanced the
research and development of any assay procedure.  30% of the fee (150,000 common
shares)  shall be issued to American  Precious  Metals,  Inc. upon a proprietary
assay  procedure on Birch Mountain  Athabasca  Project.  The total value will be
approximately  $490,000  Canadian  (350,000  shares).  The Company has  received
350,000  shares  from Birch  Mountain  on May 19,  2000.  The  Company  plans to
introduce  other mining  companies  and the Company  believes  that this plan of
operations  can be  conducted  through  the  efforts  of a current  officer  and
consultant and will not require any additional  funds.  The Company  anticipates
that the business  opportunities  will be available through the contacts of Jack
Wagenti,  the Company's  President and consultant.  The Company anticipates that
the investigation of specific mining opportunities and the negotiation, drafting
and execution of relevant agreements, and other instruments will be done by Jack
Wagenti or under his direction. The Company plans to investigate,  to the extent
believed  reasonable  by us, such  potential  mining  opportunities.  Due to our
limited  experience  and  resources  in business  analysis,  the Company may not
discover  or  adequately   evaluate  adverse  facts  about  a  potential  mining
opportunity.

     Inasmuch as the Company  will have no funds  available  to us in our search
for mining  opportunities,  the Company  will not be able to expend  significant
funds  on  a  complete  and  exhaustive   investigation   of  potential   mining
opportunities.  The Company  anticipates  that it will incur nominal expenses in
the  implementation of our business plan described  herein.  Because the Company
has no capital with which to pay these expenses,  our present management,  which
consists of Jack Wagenti,  President,  and Dr. Emanuel  Ploumis  Chairman of the
Board,  CEO, the  Company's  CEO and  President  intend to pay all expenses with
personal funds as loans to the Company if no equity financing is available.

     The Company's  management  has no future  obligation to provide the Company
with future loans or  contributions.  The failure of our  management  to provide
loans or  contributions  in the future could prevent the Company's  plan to seek
out business opportunities.

Jack  Wagenti  of $288  and  $16250  equity  financing.  These  proceeds  funded
operating activities during the three months.

     During the next twelve  months,  American  Precious  Metals,  Inc. plans to
satisfy its cash requirements  through  additional debt and/or equity financing.
There can be no  assurance  that the Company will be  successful  in raising the
additional  financing or thru the sale of Birch Mountain Shares and there can be
know guarantee that trading of Birch Mountain shares may be halted again.
