Silver Butte Mining Company
Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited

1.  Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of Silver Butte Mining Company included
herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although certain information normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted, the Company believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2002 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB.
The financial statements included herein reflect all normal
recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation.   The results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to
be expected for the full year ended August 31, 2003.

2.  Description of Business
Silver Butte Mining Company (the Company) was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Idaho on January 19, 1965. The Company
was originally organized to explore, acquire and develop mineral
properties and rights primarily in Idaho. However, the Company's
exploration activities never developed any commercial ore
deposits. During prior years, the Company made a strategic
decision to abandon or sell its mineral properties and rights,
and favorably position itself to seek other profitable business
opportunities.
The Company has incurred losses over the past several years and
has no recurring source of revenue.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  Management's plans for the continuation of  the
Company as a going concern are primarily focused on the eventual
merger with an entity with profitable business operations.  If
existing cash and cash equivalents are exhausted before this
occurs, the Company could sell its unregistered common stock to
finance operations. However, there are no assurances with respect
to the future success of these plans. The financial statements do
not contain any adjustments, which might be necessary, if the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
On July 12, 2002, the Company entered into a preliminary Share
Exchange Agreement with Quantum Technology Group, Inc. (Quantum).
The agreement, as amended, calls for the shareholders of Quantum
to receive 50 shares of the Company's unregistered common stock
in exchange for each (1) Quantum share owned. This exchange would
result in the issuance of 41,000,000 new unregistered common
shares of the Company to Quantum shareholders. Quantum is a
development stage enterprise whose only asset is an exclusive
license to market and sell in the United States of America, an
electronic device known as the Handheld Portable Digital
Geographic Data Manager (hand-held field digital data mapping
device). The Share Exchange Agreement is subject to a number of
conditions, including: completion of due diligence; amendment of
the Company's articles of incorporation to increase
capitalization, among other things; and satisfaction of all
applicable securities law requirements.  In connection with this
Share Exchange Agreement, the Company held a special annual
meeting of its stockholders on October 11, 2002, wherein the
Company's stockholders voted to: change the name of the Company
to Quantum Technology Group, Inc.; increase the authorized common
stock to 150,000,000 shares; and ratify the Share Exchange
Agreement with Quantum.

Subsequent to this special annual meeting, the Company determined
that the proxy solicitation for votes at this meeting had not
fully complied with applicable securities laws and regulations.
The Company's board of directors and management are currently
reviewing all options to cure this lack of compliance, which may
include resolicitation of proxies for another special meeting.
At February 28, 2003, the Company has not accrued any amounts for
potential stockholder liabilities associated with this lack of
compliance, as the amounts, if any, cannot be reasonably
estimated.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

General
This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements.  Forward-
looking statements include statements concerning plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and
underlying assumptions that are not statements of historical
facts.  This document and any other written or oral statements
made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking
statements, which reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial performance.  The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimates," "forecast,"
"project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon
various assumptions, many of which are based on management's
discussion and analysis or plan of operations and elsewhere in
this report.  Although we believe that these assumptions were
reasonable when made, these statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, and are
difficult to predict.  Actual results could differ materially
from those expressed in forward-looking statements.   Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date
of this report.

Plan of Operation
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such
investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business
opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which
desire to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly registered
corporation.  The Company will not restrict its search to any
specific business, industry, or geographical location and the
Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any
kind or nature.

The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which
have recently commenced operations, or wish to utilize the public
marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to
expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or
service, or for other corporate purposes.  The Company may
acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various
businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
 Business opportunities may be available in many different
industries and at various stages of development, all of which
will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of
such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

Although the Company has minimal capital with which to provide
the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or
other assets, management believes the Company will be able to
offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire
a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered Company
without incurring the cost and time required to conduct a public
offering.  The analysis of new business opportunities will be
undertaken by, or under the supervision of, the officers and
directors of the Company, none of whom is a professional business
analyst.  Management intends to concentrate on identifying
preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be
brought to its attention through present associations of the
Company's officers or through advertising the Company's
availability for acquisition.  In analyzing prospective business
opportunities, management will consider such matters as the
available technical, financial and managerial resources; working
capital and other financial requirements; history of operations,
if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected
competition; the quality and experience of management services
which may be available and the depth of that management; the
potential for further research, development, or exploration,
specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be
anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the
potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the
perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services,
or trades; name and identification; and other relevant factors.

Results of Operations
For the three month period ended February 28, 2003 compared to
the three month period ended February 28, 2002

For the three months ended February 28, 2003, the Company had a
net loss of $2,537 compared to $436 during the comparable period
in the previous year.   The increase in loss was mainly caused by
an increase in professional services expenses incurred in
connection with proxy material and proxy solicitation.  Net
interest income also decreased during comparable periods from
$351 to $55.

For the six month period ended February 28, 2003 compared to the
six month period ended February 28, 2002

For the six months ended February 28, 2003, the Company had a net
loss of $25,921 compared to $10,780 during the comparable period
in the previous year.   The increase in loss was mainly caused by
an increase in professional services expenses associated with the
Company's audit of its financial statements and fees associated
with the Company's annual shareholder meeting.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
During the six month period ended February 28, 2003, the Company
used $35,342 of cash in operating activities compared with the
use of $2,965 in cash in its operating activities for the six
months ended February 28, 2002.  The Company has no recurring
revenue from operating activities and plans to fund its future
operations through additional sales of its unregistered common
stock, although there can be no assurance the Company will be
able to sell its unregistered common stock.  The Company may also
raise funds by selling some of its property.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's President and Secretary/Treasurer evaluated the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of
the filing date of this interim report.  Based upon this
evaluation, the Company's President and Secretary/Treasurer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in ensuring that material information required to
be disclosed is included in the reports that it files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or, to the knowledge of the management of the Company,
in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the evaluation date.

proxy was not in compliance with applicable
securities laws and regulations.   As a result, the
8-K will be amended once the proxy solicitation has
been brought into compliance.
