                                     PART I

Item 1.   Description of Business

The Company was  organized in Nevada on April 30,  1987,  to explore and develop
mineral  deposits on the Nel property at Nelson,  Nevada,  and to acquire  other
properties  worthy of exploration.  After its formation,  the Company's  various
mineral  exploration  and  development  ventures  were pursued,  but  ultimately
abandoned.  From the time of its formation through  November,  1992, the Company
was the sole owner of two mining properties, the Nel, located at Nelson, Nevada,
and the Kadex at  Philipsburg,  Montana.  At a a special meeting of stockholders
held on  August  24,  1993,  95.02% of the  shares  represented  at the  meeting
unanimously  voted to transfer  title of the  properties  to two separate  newly
formed  companies so that financing the  development of the properties  could be
done  separately.  The  Nel  property  was  sold  to the  newly  formed  Nelloro
Corporation for 960,800 Nelloro shares and the Kadex property was transferred to
Cadgie Co. for the same  amount of Cadgie  shares.  The shares  received  by the
parent,  Precious Metal Mines,  Inc., were then spun-off to its  stockholders of
record, August 31, 1993, share for share.

On April 30, 1994,  Andrew W. Berney,  Raymond Girard and Gary C. Vesperman were
elected to the board of  directors of the Company by the  shareholders.  Each of
Messrs.  Berney,  Girard and  Vesperman  resigned  as  directors  of the Company
effective  March 21, 1995.  The Company's  current  directors are Mr. Francis J.
Joslin, John Webster,  and John L. Beckett. At present, the Company's operations
are dormant and it is pursuing acquisition  opportunities in the exploration and
development of mineral deposits.

Item 2. Description of Property

As  discussed  above  under  "Business,"  the  Company  has  disposed of all its
properties and presently has no property holdings.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------

Board Of Directors                                         March 2, 2000
Precious Metals Mines, Inc.
London, England


     I have audited the  accompanying  Balance Sheets of Honor One  Corporation,
(Formerly Sierra Gold Development  Corp.), (A Development Stage Company),  as of
December 31, 1998,  December  31, 1997,  and December 31, 1996,  and the related
statements  of  operations,  stockholders,  equity  and cash flows for the three
years ended December 31, 1998,  December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the Company's  management.  My
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
my audit.

     I  conducted  my audit  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

     In my opinion,  the financial  statements referred to above present fairly,
in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of Honor One  Corporation,
(Formerly Sierra Gold Development  Corp.), (A Development Stage Company),  as of
December 31, 1998,  December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the results of
its  operations  and cash flows for the three years  ended  December  31,  1998,
December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in Note #3 to the
financial  statements,  the Company has no established  source of revenue.  This
raises  substantial  doubt about its  ability to  continue  as a going  concern.
Management's  plan in regard to these matters are also described in Note #3. The
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. /S/Barry L. Friedman Certified Public Accountant

                NOTE 1 - HISTORY AND ORGANZIATION OF THE COMPANY

The  Company  was  organized  August  10,  1987,  under the laws of the State of
Nevada,  as Precious Metal Mines,  Inc. The Company  currently has no operations
and, in accordance with SFAS #7, is considered a development stage company.

On August 10,  1987,  the Company  issued  130,000  shares of its $.01 par value
common stock for $1,300.

On August 10,  1987,  the Company  issued  750,000  shares of its $.01 par value
common stock for the Nel Property, a precious metals mining property.  On August
31,  1993,  a new company  (Nelloro  Corporation)  was formed to acquire the Nel
Property.  Nelloro  Corporation  paid  Precious  Metal Mines in its common stock
which shares were then spun-off to Precious Metal Mines stockholders.

On September 6, 1993, the Company completed a public offering.  The Company sold
80,800  shares of common  stock at a price of $1.25 per share for a total amount
raised of $101,000.

On April 4, 1994, the Company  reverse split its common stock 1:3, thus reducing
the number of  outstanding  common stock  shares from 960,800  shares to 320,257
shares.

On May 13, 1994,  the Company  issued 91,000 shares of its $.01 par value common
stock for services, for no consideration.

On August 7,  1994,  the  Company  forward  split its  common  stock  3:1,  thus
increasing the number of outstanding  common stock shares from 411,267 shares to
1,233,800 shares.

On August 26, 1994, the State of Nevada approved the Company's restated Articles
of  Incorporation,  which  increased its  capitalization  from 7,500,000  common
shares to 50,000,000 common shares. The par value remained unchanged at $.01.

On August 12,  1996,  the Company  issued  431,905  shares of its $.01 par value
common stock for $43, 190.

                  NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Accounting policies and procedures have not been determined except as follows:

     1. The company uses the accrual method of accounting.

     2.  Earnings  per share is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
shares of common stock outstanding.

     3.  The  company  has not yet  adopted  any  policy  regarding  payment  of
dividends. No dividends have been paid since inception.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's  financial  statements are prepared  using the generally  accepted
accounting  principles  applicable to a going concern,  which  contemplates  the
realization  of assets and  liquidation  of  liabilities in the normal course of
business.  However,  the  Company  has no  current  source of  revenue.  Without
realization  of  additional  capital,  it would be  unlikely  for the Company to
continue as a going concern.  It is management's plan to seek additional capital
through a merger with an existing operating company.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

The Company neither owns or leases any real or personal  property.  The officers
and directors of the Company are involved in other business  activities and may,
in the future,  become involved in other business  opportunities.  If a specific
business  opportunity  becomes  available,  such  persons may face a conflict of
interest in selecting  between the Company and their other  business  interests.
The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

NOTE 5 - WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire additional shares of the
common stock.

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS ADVANCES

While the  Company  is  seeking  additional  capital  through  a merger  with an
existing  operating  company,  an officer of the Company has  advanced  funds on
behalf of the Company to pay for costs  incurred by it. These funds are interest
free.
