                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

     The Company was incorporated in 1911 in Utah as Dragon  Consolidated Mining
Company and operated  profitably for many years in the Tintic Mining District of
Utah.  In  January  1985,  the  Company   changed  its  name  to  Dragon  Mining
Corporation. For a substantial period, the Company realized the major portion of
its income in the form of  royalties  from clay mining  operations  conducted by
lessees  within its "Dragon Pit" near Eureka,  Utah.  (See Item 2.  PROPERTIES.)
From July 1, 1977 to March 1983,  the Company did not conduct  operations.  From
May 1940 to October  1984,  the  Company  was  controlled  by North Lily  Mining
Company,  a subsidiary of the Anaconda  Company from June 1925 to March 1983. In
March  1983,  Claude K. Lee and  others  acquired  direct  control of North Lily
Mining Company and indirect control of the Company.

     Due to a  failure  to  file a 1992  Utah  annual  report  the  Company  was
mistakenly dissolved by the State of Utah. The Company has been reincorporated.

     During 1986,  North Lily Mining  Company  ("North  Lily")  consummated  the
acquisition  of 4,725,923  shares of the Company's  common stock in exchange for
shares of North Lily common stock,  thereby increasing North Lily's ownership of
the Company from 20.5% to 78.4%.

     During  May  1993  North  Lily  completed  the  sale of  6,055,836  shares,
representing 74.4% of the issued and outstanding shares, of the Company's common
stock to Van-Cap Equities Ltd.
("Van-Cap").

     On June 24, 1994 Van-Cap sold  6,055,836 of the  Company's  common stock to
Marbella Capital Corporation ("Marbella").

     There are no current operations.

     The Company has no full-time employees.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

     No information is presented as to industry  segments.  The Company has been
primarily  engaged in a single line of business:  the acquisition,  exploration,
development of mineral properties and production therefrom.


                                        3

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

     The Company's mining,  processing and exploration activities are subject to
various  laws  governing  the  protection  of  the   environment,   prospecting,
development,  production, exports, taxes, labor standards,  occupational health,
waste  disposal,  toxic  substances,  mine  safety  and  other  matters.  Mining
operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation
under these laws by governmental agencies.

      Failure  to comply  with  applicable  laws and  regulations  may result in
orders  being issued that may cause  operations  to cease or be curtailed or may
require  installation  of  additional  equipment.  Violators  may be required to
compensate  those  suffering  loss or damage by reason of violations  and may be
fined if convicted of an offense under such legislation.

     The  Company  believes  it is in  compliance  with  all  material  laws and
regulations applicable to it or its prior operations.

     Additional legislation or amendments may be proposed from time to time that
might affect the Company's business. The Company is unable to predict in advance
which  proposals may be enacted or their  effective  dates.  Such changes could,
however,  require increased capital or operating expenditures or both, and could
prevent or delay certain operations by the Company.

     Outlined  below are some of the more  significant  aspects of  governmental
controls and regulations which materially affect the Company.

     The Company is subject to federal, state and provincial income taxes, state
and local franchise  taxes,  personal  property taxes and state severance taxes.
State  severance  taxes vary between the states and within a single  state.  The
amount  of the tax,  based on a  percentage  of the value of the  mineral  being
extracted, may vary from mineral to mineral.  Operations are subject to taxation
by each  locality  in which  mineral  properties  are owned or business is done.
Because many state and local tax laws are not  uniform,  the Company runs a risk
of double taxation on portions of its income by various jurisdictions.  This may
adversely effect earnings, if any.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

     Legislation and implementing  regulations adopted or proposed by the United
States  Environmental  Protection  Agency, the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM")
and  comparable  agencies in various states  directly and indirectly  affect the
mining  industry  in the  United  States.  These  laws and  regulations  address
potential  contamination  of air,  soil and water  from  mining  operations.  In
particular,  legislation  such as the Federal Water  Pollution  Control Act, the
Comprehensive  Environmental  Response and the  Compensation  and  Liability Act
impose effluent

                                        4

<PAGE>



standards, new source performance standards, air quality and emission standards,
waste disposal  requirements and other requirements with respect to present, and
in some cases past, mining and mineral processing, including gold mining.

     U.S.  mine  operators  must comply with the Federal  Mine Safety and Health
Act, which is enforced by the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA"), an
agency within the Department of Labor. All mines,  both underground and surface,
are  subject  to  inspections  by  MSHA.  The  Occupational  Safety  and  Health
Administration  also has  jurisdiction  over  safety  and health  standards  not
covered by the  Federal  Mine Safety and Health  Act,  although  there are areas
where the authority of both administrative agencies overlap.

     Existing laws and  regulations  with respect to the  reclamation  of mining
operations  are in place and may  necessitate  substantial  planning and bonding
requirements.

     The Company  may be  required  to prepare  and  present to federal,  state,
provincial or local authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that any
proposed  exploration  for,  or  production  of,  minerals  may  have  upon  the
environment.

     It may be anticipated that future legislation will significantly  emphasize
the protection of the environment,  and that as a consequence, the activities of
the Company may be more closely  regulated to further the cause of environmental
protection. Such legislation, as well as future interpretation of existing laws,
may require  substantial  increases  in  equipment  and  operating  costs to the
Company and delays, interruptions, or a termination of operations, the extent of
which cannot now be predicted.

EMPLOYEES AND FACILITIES

     As of March 22, 1998, the Company had no full-time  employees.  The Company
has the  following  officers:  Thomas J. Ian Wright,  Chairman;  Thomas L. Crom,
President; Nick DeMare, Secretary and Treasurer.

Dragon's office at 107 West Wade, Suite 7, Payson, Arizona is leased.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
DRAGON PIT
         The Company no longer owns the Dragon Pit or any other  property in the
state of Utah.  This  property  was was sold to North  Lily  Mining  Company  in
exchange for the cancellation of all debt to North Lily.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
         STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


     Dragon's  common  stock  has  traded  on the  over-the-counter  market  for
approximately  60 years.  The range of high and low bid prices  for each  fiscal
quarter  during the two most  recently  completed  fiscal  years and the current
fiscal year is as follows:


         1997                             HIGH                     LOW

         First quarter                    $0.10                    $0.01
         Second quarter                   $0.10                    $0.01
         Third quarter                    $0.10                    $0.01
         Fourth quarter                   $0.10                    $0.01


         1996                             HIGH                     LOW

         First quarter                    $0.10                    $0.01
         Second quarter                   $0.10                    $0.01
         Third quarter                    $0.10                    $0.10
         Fourth quarter                   $0.10                    $0.10


     On March 22,  1998,  the high bid price of the  common  stock was $0.10 per
share.

     The  above bid  quotations  reflect  inter-dealer  prices,  without  retail
mark-up,  mark-down,  or commission  and may not  necessarily  represent  actual
transactions.

     As of December 31, 1997,  there were 311 record holders of Dragon's  common
stock.

     In the  past ten  (10)  years  Dragon  has not  paid or  declared  any cash
dividends and does not anticipate  paying dividends for the foreseeable  future.
It is  expected  that  any  net  income  will  be  retained  by  Dragon  for the
development of its business.

ITEM 7.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Dragon  Mining  Corporation  (the  Company)  was  incorporated  in 1911 and
operated  as a mining  exploration  company  until  1977.  The  Company  has not
received  any  revenue  from  planned  principal  operations  since 1977 and has
primarily been engaged in the  development of plans and  acquisitions  of assets
for its proposed mining and explorations operations. Accordingly, the Company is
considered to be in the development stage.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995 the  Company  had  working  capital
deficiencies of $2,103,411, $2,095,764 and $2,087,075 respectively.

CORPORATE PLANS FOR 1998 AND BEYOND

     The  Company  is  attempting  to  acquire   additional  assets  by  issuing
additional  stock. It is also continuing  negotiations  with its major creditor,
who is also its shareholder, to restructure its debt.
There is no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

     During the year ended  December  31,  1995 the  Company  issued  15,000,000
shares for $15,000 to Marbella Capital Corp.  ("Marbella").  Marbella  increased
its ownership from 55.7% to 84.4% as result of this placement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1997 COMPARED TO 1996
      The Company  activities were limited to maintaining its status as a public
company which  generated a net loss of $(7,648)  compared to a loss of $( 8,689)
in 1996.



                                        7

<PAGE>



1996 COMPARED TO 1995
     The Company  activities  were limited to maintaining its status as a public
company which generated a net loss of $(8,689) compared to $(399) in 1995

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

     The Company had very little activity  resulting in just $576 of general and
administrative  expenses in 1995  compared  to $1,246 in 1994.  As a result of a
private placement the Company's cash increased which resulted in interest income
of $177.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     Dragon will be affected by inflation  because market value of its potential
products (gold and silver) tends to fluctuate with inflation.  Other major costs
should not increase at a rate in excess of inflation.

                            DRAGON MINING CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

            OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

            Dragon Mining  Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in Utah in
            1911 and operated as a mining and mineral  exploration company until
            1977. The Company has not received any revenue from operations since
            1977 and has been primarily  engaged in the development of plans and
            acquisition  of  assets  for its  proposed  mining  and  exploration
            operations.  Accordingly,  the  Company is  considered  to be in the
            development  stage, and cumulative  amounts required to be presented
            by development  stage  enterprises have been presented since January
            1, 1978 in the accompanying financial statements.

            Due to a failure to file a 1992 Utah  annual  report the Company was
            mistakenly dissolved by the State of Utah.  Subsequently the Company
            has been reincorporated in the State of Utah.

            The Company's financial  statements have been presented on the basis
            that it is a going concern,  which  contemplates  the realization of
            assets and the  satisfaction  of liabilities in the normal course of
            business.  The Company has incurred  substantial  losses  during the
            last three years.  The Company's  current  liabilities  exceeded its
            current  assets by $2,103,411  at December 31, 1997.  The Company is
            continuing  discussions  with its major creditor and  shareholder to
            restructure the Company's debt.  Continued  existence of the Company
            is  dependent  upon the  Company's  ability to perform  the above is
            uncertain and,  therefore,  the Company may be unable to continue in
            existence.

            CASH EQUIVALENTS:

            The Company  defines  cash  equivalents  as all  short-term,  highly
            liquid investments with original maturity dates less than 90 days.

            MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

            Current  marketable  equity  securities  are carried at the lower of
            their aggregate cost or market value.  Net realized gains and losses
            on   security   transactions   are   determined   on  the   specific
            identification cost basis. Unrealized losses net of unrealized gains
            are included in the determination of net income.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT, CONTINUED

            PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

            Plant  and  equipment  is  carried  is  carried  at  cost.  Mill and
            equipment are depreciated using the straight-line  method over their
            estimated  useful lives of 5 to 15 years or the  units-of-production
            method based on estimated  tons of ore reserves if the  equipment is
            located at a producing property with a shorter economic life. Mining
            equipment is being depreciated  using the straight-line  method over
            their   estimated   useful   life   of  3  to  15   years   or   the
            units-of-production  method based on estimated tones of ore reserves
            if the  equipment is located at a producing  property with a shorter
            economic life.  Office equipment and fixtures are being  depreciated
            using the straight-line method over their estimate useful lives of 3
            to 10 years. When such assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the
            costs and  accumulated  depreciation  are removed from the accounts,
            and any resulting gains or losses are charged to operations.

            MINERAL PROPERTIES:

            Direct costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development
            of mineral properties held or controlled by the Company are deferred
            on an individual property basis until the viability of a property is
            determined. General exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When
            a property is placed in commercial  production,  such deferred costs
            are depleted using the units-of-production method. Management of the
            Company  periodically  reviews the recoverability of the capitalized
            mineral  properties  and  mining  equipment.  Management  takes into
            consideration  various  information  including,  but not limited to,
            historical  production  records taken from previous mine operations,
            results  of  exploration  activities  conducted  to date,  estimated
            future metal prices and reports and opinions of outside  geologists,
            mine  engineers,  and  consultants.  When  it is  determined  that a
            project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been
            impaired,  a provision is made for any expected  loss on the project
            or property.

            RECLAMATION COSTS:

            Post-closure  reclamation and site  restoration  costs are estimated
            based upon  environmental  and regulatory  requirements  and accrued
            over the  life of the mine  using  the  units-of-production  method.
            Current   expenditures   relating  to  ongoing   environmental   and
            reclamation programs are expensed as incurred.

6.          STOCK OPTION AGREEMENTS:

            On  December  18,  1984 the  shareholders  adopted  and  approved an
            incentive  stock option plan. The plan provides for officers and key
            employees  of the Company to  purchase  up to 300,000  shares of the
            Company's  unregistered  common stock. The options granted under the
            plan are  immediately  exercisable  at the fair market value of free
            trading  stock on the  date of  grant  or 110% of such  value if the
            optionee  owns more  than 10% of the  combined  voting  power of all
            classes of the Common  stock as of the grant  date.  The options are
            exercisable over a period not longer than ten years from the date of
            grant.

            Under this plan,  the Company  granted  options to purchase  150,000
