|Indicated Resource             | That part of the Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.  The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
|Inferred Resource              | That part of the Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity.  The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

|Measured Resource | That part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.  An Indicated Resource has a higher level of confidence than an Inferred Resource but has a lower level of confidence than a Measured Resource.

Notes:

(1)	During the year 2003, a shareholder subscribed for 1,200,000 common shares for net cash proceeds of $77,490 to the Company.  Such shares were not issued to the shareholder until after the year-end.  As such, the number of issued and outstanding shares and retained earnings as at December 31, 2003 do not reflect this transaction.

(2)	Stock options and warrants outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

See Item 17 for accompanying audited year end financial statements (prepared in accordance with CDN GAAP) for further details.

B.	Capitalization and Indebtedness

Not applicable.

C.	Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

D.	Risk Factors

Company with No History of Earnings. The Company has no operating history, no revenues and is subject to all the risks inherent in a start-up business enterprise including lack of cash flow and no source of revenue.  The Company's only source of revenue will be from the sale of interests in the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit and/or sale of bauxite from those deposits.  The Company does not currently generate any revenue from the sale of its products, and will require significant additional capital to place its property into production.

Liquidity; Need for Additional Financing. Historically, the Company has funded its operations through the sale of equity capital.  The Company has had and will continue to have capital requirements in excess of its currently available resources.  The Company is not able to meet its financial commitments as they become due.  The Company is dependent on the proceeds of future financing to finance the final phase of the feasibility study on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  To the extent that any such financing involves the sale of equity capital, the interests of the Company's then existing shareholders would be substantially diluted.  There is no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional financing.

Reliance Upon Directors and Officers; Management. The Company is wholly dependent at present upon the personal efforts and abilities of its officers and directors, who exercise control over the day-to-day affairs of the Company. The loss of any director or officer could have an adverse effect on the Company.

Issuance of Additional Shares. The Company is authorized to issue 700,000,000 common shares. As at December 31, 2003, 66,762,214 common shares were issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has the power to issue such shares. Although the Company presently has no commitments or contracts to issue any additional shares to other persons, except as otherwise disclosed in this document, the Company may in the future attempt to issue shares to acquire products, equipment or properties, or for other corporate purposes. Any additional issuance by the Company, from its authorized but unissued shares, would have the effect of diluting the interest of existing shareholders.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors for Securities Liabilities. The laws of the Province of British Columbia provide that the Company could indemnify any director, officer, agent and/or employee as to those liabilities and on those terms and conditions as are specified in the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Further, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the liability insured against. The foregoing could result in substantial expenditures by the Company and prevent any recovery from such officers, directors, agents and employees for losses incurred by the Company as a result of their actions. Further, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Actof 1933 (the "Act"), as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The Company's Management May Not Be Subject to U.S. Legal Process. As Canadian citizens and residents, certain of the Company's directors and officers may not subject themselves to U.S. legal proceedings so that recovery on judgments issued by U.S. courts may be difficult or impossible. While reciprocal enforcement of judgment legislation exists between Canada and the U.S., the Company's insiders may have defences available to avoid, in Canada, the effect of U.S. judgments under Canadian law, making enforcement difficult or impossible. The Company's management may not have any personal assets available in the U.S. to satisfy judgments of U.S. courts. Therefore, the Company's shareholders in the United States may have to avail themselves of remedies under Canadian corporate and securities laws for perceived oppression, breach of fiduciary duty and like legal complaints. Canadian law may not provide for remedies equivalent to those available under U.S. law.

Exploration of Resource Property. Exploration of natural resources involves a high degree of risk. The long-term profitability of the Company will, in part, be directly related to the cost and success of the exploration and future development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit in Orissa State, India. Substantial expenditures are required to establish resources and reserves through drilling, to develop processes for extraction and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. No assurance can be given that Mineral Resources will be converted to Mineral Reserves, that funds required for the development can be obtained on a timely basis, that funds will be adequate to complete a feasibility study and /or that bauxite can be economically extracted from the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

Operating Hazards and Risks. Exploration and development of natural resources involves many risks, which, even with a combination of experience, knowledge and careful examination may not be mitigated. Operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of resources, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to persons or property and possible environmental damage. Although the Company has or will obtain liability insurance in an amount which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that the liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable against, or the Company might not elect to insure itself against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition.

Fluctuating Prices. The Company's revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of bauxite. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production

- 5 -



due to extractive developments and improved extractive production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of bauxite, and therefore the economic viability of the Company's exploration projects cannot be accurately predicted.

Competition. The resource industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself. Competition could adversely affect the Company's ability to develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

Options and Joint Ventures. In order to conserve financial resources, the Company intends to enter into option, joint venture, or development agreements and form a consortium to finance the exploration and possible development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  If such agreements are entered into, the Company's position in the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit would change, and the Company could lose control of the exploration and development of the deposit.  There is no assurance that a consortium will be formed, or if formed, will be formed on terms favourable to the Company, or that the exploration and development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit will proceed.

Title to Assets. While the Company has or will receive title opinions for any properties in which it has or will acquire a material interest, such opinions cannot be viewed as a guarantee of title.  Title may not be affected by unregistered interests and claims to title, which could adversely affect the Company's ability to develop its properties.

Inadequate Working Capital. The Company does not have adequate working capital to conduct the final phase of the feasibility study on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit and must raise funds through private placements or public offerings of treasury shares, through debt financing, if available, or sale of a portion of its interest in its projects.  If the Company is not successful in raising further funds, it may not be able to complete its development plans.

Interruption by Local Residents. The Company may require the support of local residents to be able to proceed with the development of the Gandharmadan Bauxite Deposit.  Past development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit has been thwarted by local residents who opposed development in the Gandharmadan and successfully suspended operations.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the support of local residents.

Mining Leases. Orissa Mining Corporation ("OMC"), the Company's joint venture partner, currently holds a mining lease for Block 7, which contains an estimated 20% of the estimated Mineral Resource (including the Inferred Resources) comprised in the  Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.   Block 7 is one of ten Blocks comprising the Gandharmadan Bauxite Deposit.  The Company and OMC intend to mine one Block at a time and other mining leases will be obtained as needed from the State of Orissa.  Although OMC does not express concern over obtaining additional mining leases for other Blocks of the Gandharmadan Bauxite Deposit, there is no assurance that OMC will be able to do so.

Exchange Rate Fluctuation. The profitability of the Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the rate of exchange of Indian Rupies into United States dollars. The Company does not take any steps to hedge against currency fluctuations.

Patents. The Company has a license to manufacture and sell the Pisces Process detailed in Item 4 of this document. There is no assurance, however, that third parties may not infringe on the patents. In order to protect the patent rights, the Company or the patent owners may have to file lawsuits and obtain injunctions. If the Company does that, it will have to spend large sums of money for attorney's fees in order to obtain the injunctions. Even if the Company or patent holders obtain the injunctions, there is no assurance that those infringing on the patents will comply with the injunctions. Further, the Company or patent holders may not have adequate funds available to prosecute actions to protect the patents, in which case those infringing on the patents could continue to do so in the future.

ITEM 4.	INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.	History and Development

The Company's legal name is Balaton Power Inc.  The Company was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) (now the British Columbia Business Corporations Act) under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 25, 1986.  The Company's registered office is c/o its solicitors, Lang Michener llp, 1500 - 1055 West Georgia Street, PO Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4N7, telephone number (604) 689-9111. The Company's principal place of business is 19 East Fourth Street, Hutchinson, Kansas, U.S.A., 67501, telephone number (620) 662-3697 and facsimile number (620) 682-6861.

The Company is in the start-up stage and has initiated limited operations.  Prior to the acquisition/merger with CRL in October 2002 (the "Acquisition"), the Company was in the construction, installation and sale of "low impact" run-of-the-river hydroelectric power production systems (the "System") which incorporated a patent pending fish protective water inlet device (the "Pisces Process").  Following the Acquisition, the Company changed its primary business to exploring and developing the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit. Important events in the development of the Company's business are noted below.

The Company commenced business with certain hydro electric power assets known as the Pisces System and the Balaton Remote Integrated Monitoring and Control System BRIMAC.  The Company's intent was to use these systems in connection with the development of hydro electric power projects in the Pacific Northwest.  On January 14, 2001, the Company entered into a power purchase agreement with Idaho Power Company and an agreement in principle with Vernon Ravenscroft ("Ravenscroft") of Bliss, Idaho, which superseded an earlier agreement dated August 25, 2000, to acquire a one-third interest in Ravenscroft's hydroelectric power production facility and site (the "Ravenscroft Site").  Between 2000 and 2002, the Company spent $160,000 earning its interest in the Ravenscroft Site.  Despite such expenditures, substantial obligations remained with no funding to fulfil them.  As such, the Company decided that it was in its best interest to sell the Ravenscroft Site back to Ravenscroft.  During 2002, the Company sold its interest in the Ravenscroft Site for $20,000 and the Company was released from any ongoing commitments.  During 2002, the Company also entered into agreements to acquire eleven  unlicensed hydro power sites.  These acquisitions were completed, however none of the sites have been developed, and the Company has no plans to develop these sites.

On September 30, 2002, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Perial Ltd. ("Perial") for the purchase of CRL.  The Company issued a total of 33,000,000 common shares in its own capital to acquire CRL of which 25,000,000 were allocated to Perial and 8,000,000 shares were issued as finder's fees. CRL is a joint venture partner with OMC which has an interest on a significant bauxite deposit in Orissa, India, known as the "Gandhamardan" (the "Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit").  The Acquisition was treated as a capital transaction by the Company and not a business combination.  Prior to the Acquisition, CRL sold all of its oil and gas assets to its then parent company, Perial, for a promissory note in the amount of $481,724 and the assumption of CRL's outstanding debts. The note is non-interest bearing and is repayable through the payment of a 25% interest in production from the oil and gas assets.

CRL's sole asset at the time of the Acquisition, on or about October 2002, was a 50% interest and effective control of Continental Orissa Mining Private Limited ("COMPL"), which CRL acquired during 2002 in consideration for agreeing to direct the exploration and development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

During 2003 and subsequent to the year end, the Company focussed on establishing a strong working relationship with OMC, the owner of 50% of COMPL.  The Company and OMC have discussed the principal terms upon which the exploration and possible development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, although no written agreement has yet been signed.  In addition, during 2003 management held discussions with potential partners to provide financial and technical resources to assist in the exploration and potential development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  These discussions took substantially all of the time of the Company's management.



- 7 -



The Company is currently seeking a manager, joint venture partner or purchaser for its hydroelectric power assets which includes the Pisces Process and  BRIMAC. The Company does not intend to install the System at any sites, and does not plan to develop any of its own hydroelectric sites. The System is designed to produce "green"/renewable electricity. A "green" system is one which generates electricity from non-carbon based fuels and does not adversely impact the flows of rivers or aquatic life and is considered "low impact" on the environment. As of the date hereof, the Company has not constructed, installed or sold any Systems, the Pisces Process (other than its tested prototypes) or BRIMACs and does not generate or distribute electricity to anyone. There is no assurance that the Company will ever construct, install or sell any Systems, the Pisces Process or BRIMACs and the Company has not received any significant expression of interest for the systems.

B.	Business Overview

The Company's business is focussed on the development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit

On April 18, 1997, Continental entered into an agreement with OMC to form a 50-50 joint venture company in the State of Orissa with its primary purpose to explore and exploit the Gandharmadan Bauxite Deposit (the "Joint Venture Agreement").  Continental managed the daily operations of COMPL, the joint venture company.  Under the Joint Venture Agreement, OMC had an option to participate in Continental's proposed aluminium complex (including refinery, power plant and smelter).  This option was to be exercised within one year from the date of transfer of leases concerning the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, of which such option could be extended by mutual consent.  Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, Continental bore all costs associated with the preparation of a feasibility report and exploration of the deposit.  In 2002, Continental transferred its interest in the deposit to CRL, an unrelated company, with the result that CRL and OMC became joint venture partners.

On September 30, 2002, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Perial for the purchase of CRL in consideration for 33,000,000 common shares. See "History and Development" above for terms of the acquisition of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

The Company has held further discussions with OMC to establish the framework upon which the parties will further explore and develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  Based upon these discussions, the Company expects that a formal agreement will be reached in which OMC will contribute the property and the Company will provide the financial resources for exploration and development.  The Company will be required to fund 100% of all costs to production, and thereafter the Company and OMC will receive 89% and 11% of profits, respectively.  This change has not yet been formally made to the Joint Venture Agreement.

In order to further explore and develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, the Company will need to complete the final phase feasibility study.  The Company has received an estimate of $2.0 million as the cost to complete the feasibility study.  The Company does not currently have the resources to complete this study.  Further funds will be required to develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit , if it is determined to be economical.  The Company believes that the most efficient way to further explore and potentially develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, including the feasibility study, is through the establishment of a consortium of entities.   The Company has not yet confirmed specific consortium partners although several parties have expressed interest.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to form a consortium, or what the terms of any consortium formed will be.  If the Company is unable to locate suitable partners, the Company will have seek additional financing to carry out the feasibility study.

The following information is summarized from a report prepared by E.A. Gallo, P.Geo. entitled "Summary Report Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit Sambupar and Balangir Districts, State of Orissa, India, dated April 8, 2003" (the "Report").  This report summarizes exploration on the property by past operations, and was prepared and is disclosed by the Company under Canadian securities regulations.

Property Description And Location

The Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit is located at the top of Gandhamardan hill near the town of Duragali, State of Orissa, India. This hill, which has a plateau top, is linear aligned in a Northeast-Southwest direction. The hill straddles the boundary, between Balangir District to the Southeast, and Sambalpur District to the Northwest, in the west central part of the State of Orissa, in eastern India.

Gandhamardan is bounded by Latitudes 20 degrees and 50 minutes and 20 degrees 55 minutes North, and Longitudes 82 degrees 451 and 82 degrees 54 minutes East. It plots on Survey of India topographic sheet NTS 64L/l3. Gandhamardan hill extends in a Northeast-Southwest direction for a length of 9.8 kms. Width ranges from 0.4 to 2.6 kms, and averages 0.75 km. The top of the hill is a plateau, with an areal extent of 7.4 kms2. The bauxite zone covers an area of 734 hectares. Due to its large size and lineal alignment, the deposit has been divided into 10 l-km wide blocks, numbered 1 to 10.

- 8 -



Vegetation on the plateau consists primarily of tiger-grass, dwarf palm, chachar, chhena, bantulsi, etc., with small, isolated clumps of stunted hardwood trees such as char and kendu. The stunted trees rarely exceed 4 meters in height. Vegetation on the hill flanks contrast greatly with that on the plateau. The flanks are densely forested by mature hardwood trees such as char, kendu, tenk, and sal. Underbrush consists mainly of bamboo clumps, leafy vines, shrubs, and medicinal herbs. Gandhamardan hill is a designated forest reserve. Regulations allow mining operations to be conducted in such reserves, however, the operator must establish a reserve area elsewhere that is equal in area to the mining lands.

Gandhamardan hill stands approximately 1,200 meters above sea level, and 700 meters above a plain at the base of the hill. The plateau top has a gentle relief of about 50 meters.

Accessibility, Physiography and Infrastructure

The property on which the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit sits is easily accessed by 4-wheel drive vehicle along a poorly maintained road up the NW flank of the hill. This road departs the village of Duragali, at the base of the hill, and winds 4 kms to the top. Duragali is connected by paved road to Paikmal, a town with all modern facilities, including power, water, transportation, communication, food, shelter, supplies, services, and labour. Paikmal is connected by paved roads to the State Capital, Bhubaneswar, about 300 kms to the East, and to port cities along the Bay of Bengal, equidistant to the Southeast.

At the time the exploration work was performed, the hill top could also be accessed up the Southeast side. This road currently has 3 wash-outs. After repairs, this road will also be navigable by 4-wheel drive vehicle. The Southeast road is preferable, as it provides a slightly shorter route to the hill top, and access by paved roads southerly to the towns of Lakhna and Nawaspara, 32 and 39 kms distant, respectively. Both these towns lie along the South Eastern Railway line. This rail line was recently constructed by the Indian Government to facilitate the development of bauxite deposits in Orissa State by linking them to the port city of Vishakhapnam on the Bay of Bengal.

The climate in the Gandhamardan area is sub-tropical, with summer temperatures averaging 33 degrees C, and winter temperatures averaging 18 degrees C. Annual rainfall averages 150 cms, most of which falls during the monsoon season, between July and August. The months of January and February experience little or no rain. Previously, the monsoon rains came in 3-year cycles, however, they have failed to come for the past several years, resulting in impoverished drought conditions.

Title to Property

OMC currently holds a mining lease (the "Lease") on Block 7, which contains about 20% of the deposit, or approximately 40 million tonnes. The Lease covers an area of 285 hectares. OMC has applied for a mining lease covering the rest of the deposit. A perimeter land survey must be performed before this second lease is granted.

Geological Setting

The general geology of the Orissa region consists primarily of Precambrian rocks of the Indian Shield. These rocks have been divided into 4 distinct sectors, based on their lithologies and structure. The sectors are named after the geographic region in which they occur - West, South, Coastal, and North sectors.

The West sector is where Gandhamardan is located. This sector is underlain primarily by Archean granitic gneisses, khondalites, charnockites, and migmatites. These rocks trend in a general Northeast-Southwest direction, gently curving eastward at their northern end. Khondalites are rocks formed by high-grade metamorphism of argillaceous, arenaceous, and calcareous sediments. They are unique to this part of the world, and they host major deposits of bauxite. The West sector is separated from the South and North sectors by the Eastern Ghat Boundary Fault and the North Orissa Boundary Fault, respectively.

The South sector is also underlain predominantly by Archean rocks. They are comprised of marbles, calc-granulites, carbonatites, gneisses, khondalites, and charnockites. This sector is composed of 4 fault blocks, each with distinct trends. The rocks in 2 of the blocks trend E-W. Trends in the other 2 blocks are Northeast-Southwest, and Northwest-Southeast, respectively. The North Orissa Boundary Fault separates the South sector from the North sector.

- 9 -

The Coastal sector is underlain primarily by quaternary laterite and alluvium. They appear to overlie the eastward extension of the South sector rocks.

The North sector is composed. mainly of Archean granites and greenstones.. The granites occur as large batholiths, and the greenstones as broad, intervening belts. The greenstones are comprised of mafic volcanics and banded iron formation. This assemblage of granites and greenstones is very similar to that which occurs in the Superior Province in NW Ontario. Ultramafic bodies intrude the granites and the volcanics. The western third of the North sector is Underlain by Grenville-type metasediments consisting of marble, quartzite, phyllite, and slate.

The local geology at Gandhamardan and the geology of the property are the same. Both consist exclusively of khondalites, represented by garnetiferous quartz-feldspar-sillimanite gneisses and schists with or without ilmenite and graphite. Subordinate garnetiferous quartzites are also present. The rocks have a pronounced Northeast-Southwest strike, conformable to the regional trend, and curve slightly to the east at their northern extremity. The rocks have been tightly folded, and now dip steeply to the Southeast at 45 degrees to 70 degrees.

Prolonged exposure to the elements has altered the khondalite at the top of Gandhamardan hill, resulting in the formation of bauxite as an extensive layer blanketing the parent rock throughout the plateau.

The bauxite is overlain by laterite, and the discontinuous layer of lateritic soil. This colour, granular, and high in silica and iron a thickness of up to several centimeters.

The laterite is also rusty-red in colour, and high in silica and iron. The weathered surface is irregular, porous, and craggy. The upper portion of the laterite is hard, reflecting a relatively higher silica content than the lower portion. Iron content also decreases with depth, while aluminous content increases. The laterite varies in. thickness from 0.3 to 12.0 meters, and averages 5.0 meters. The laterite grades downwards into bauxite.

The bauxite layer ranges from 4.3 to 35.0 meters in thickness, and averages 16.6 meters. It varies in colour from pinkish-red to yellowish-brown, buff, or brown. It is medium to fine grained, massive and compact. Vesicular and pisolitic textures may be displayed. Hardness varies from 2.5 to 3.5. Banding and foliation are sometimes evident. The bauxite is composed mainly of the minerals gibbsite and hematite, which together comprise about 95%. The remaining 5% is a mixture of several oxide minerals in minor and trace amounts.

The table below shows the mineralogical composition of the bauxite.

The basement khondalite rock is composed of a heterogeneous mix of minerals, including quartz, orthoclase, sillimanite, garnet, ilmenite, and graphite. Quartz predominates, forming up to 60% of the rock locally. The khondalite is gneissic, and the quartz is closely associated with orthoclase and sillimanite in gneissic bands of leucocratic minerals. Orthoclase locally forms up to 35% of the rock, sillimanite up to 20%, garnet up to 20%, and

- 10 -



ilmenite and graphite together up to 3%. The contact between the khondalite and the bauxite is fairly sharp, although the khondalite immediately beneath the bauxite is partly altered. Orthoclase in altered khondalite displays varying stages of bauxitization, while sillimanite displays varying stages of gibbsitization.

History

The potential for bauxite at Gandhamardan was first recognized in the 1940's by the Geological Survey of India ("GSI") who recommended that the area be thoroughly prospected.

In 1948, Orissa Directorate of Mines ("ODM") sank several pits which intersected only laterite.

In 1959, ODM identified bauxite at Gandhamardan and immediately undertook a programme of exploration and evaluation. GSI and Mineral Exploration Corp. Ltd. ("MECL") participated, as did Aluminium Corp. of India, an aluminium producer.

ODM drilled 75 holes in 1959, and reported a resource of 6 million tonnes grading +50% Al2O3 to a depth of 17 meters.

Subsequent phases of drilling were conducted between 1961-65. In the late 1960's, Aluminium Corp. of India undertook detailed exploration with MECL, after which MECL reported a resource of 26 million tonnes of metallurgical grade bauxite, using a cut-off of +46% Al2O3.

The deposit attracted no further attention until 1975, when the economic potential of the large, low-silica bauxite deposits in Orissa became recognized. Bharat Aluminium Co. ("Balco") expressed interest in Gandhamardan as a source of feed for their aluminium plant at Korba, situated 350 kms by rail to the North, in the adjoining State of Madhya Pradesh. At Balco's request, an integrated exploration programme was undertaken jointly by MECL, GSI and ODM. The programme included line-cutting, topographic surveying, geological mapping, pitting, drilling, sampling, mineralogical studying, and metallurgical testing.

Balco commissioned a feasibility study on a portion of the deposit in 1980, and upon its conclusion, prepared to bring it into production. However, due to opposition of local villagers, Balco did not continue with the project.

The property remained idle until 1997, when Continental Resources Ltd. ("Continental") and OMC agreed to jointly develop Gandhamardan pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement. Continental commissioned SNC-Lavalin to undertake a feasibility study on the deposit, however the study was never done due to numerous delays. The author of the Report visited the property at this time, and during one of the visits, collected 6 samples, 2 from Pit GP-2, and 2 from each of 2 scarp sites. These samples were collected in the presence of E.A. Gallo, a Canadian geologist, who transported them to a Canadian commercial laboratory. Analyses were performed for 12 radicals, including Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, and LOI, by the x-ray fluorescence, fused-disc method. The Certificate of Analyses for these samples may be found in Appendix I of the Report. In 2002, Continental transferred its interest in the deposit to CRL, an unrelated company, with the result that CRL and OMC became joint venture partners.

Sampling Procedure and Analyses

Under the direct supervision of ODM and MECL geologists, samples of the bauxite zone were taken from selected scarp sites and from each pit and drill hole. Scarp samples of the bauxite were taken by ODM wherever accessible at the ends of cross lines. Channel samples were cut vertically along 1 meter intervals, forming channels 15 cms wide, 5 cms deep, and 1 meter long. A total of 130 samples were cut from 17 scarp sites, across a cumulative length of 121 meters. The bauxite zone in the scarp faces is not fully exposed, the lower half being buried by talus. Recognizing this limitation, ODM nevertheless calculated average grades from the assay results. They are given in MECL's Exploration Report, Volume I, 1980, as 47.03% Al2O3, 2.97% SiO2, 22.00% Fe2O3, 2.09% TiO2, and 22.27% LOI, across an average thickness of +7.6 meters.

- 11 -



ODM also sampled the pits. Channel samples were cut in the same manner employed in scarp sampling. All 4 walls of each pit were sampled. As a check, and for comparison, the walls of 1 pit were sampled at 25 cm intervals. Surplus material from the channel samples was combined to form composite samples, which were also analysed. A total of 1,772 pit samples were collected and analysed. The bauxite zone exposed in the pits ranged from 2.0 to 30.0 meters in thickness, and averaged 18.7 meters. ODM calculated average grades from the pit sample results. MECL's same report shows them as 46.31% Al2O3, 4.37% SiO2, 20.34% Fe2O3, 1.78% TiO2, and 23.71% LOI.

Both ODM and MECL sampled the drill holes in their respective programmes, employing the same technique. Casing shoes were used in place of core barrels. The drill cuttings were carefully removed from the shoe, put into paper sleeves in the order drilled, identified by hole number and footage, and boxed. Cuttings were collected continuously across 1 meter intervals. If the upper or lower contact of the bauxite zone did not coincide exactly with a whole-integer meter mark then that particular sample was taken as a fraction of a meter. Within the bauxite zone, if "non-ore" material was recognized or suspected, then 2 sub-samples were taken from that 1 meter interval, separated by their geologic contact.

All collected samples were geologically classified before being prepared for analyses. Samples of the drill cuttings were crushed to -60 mesh, and quartered using a "Jones Sample Splitter". Three-quarters of the sample was shipped to Balco for storage, and the remaining quarter was further crushed to -120 mesh. This -120 mesh fraction was further reduced by coning and quartering, and a 50-gram portion was weighed out, bagged, and shipped to the laboratory for analyses. Pit and scarp samples were prepared in a similar manner, except for their primary crushing, which was to -10 mesh rather than -60.

Samples were shipped for analyses to ODM's own laboratory in Bhubaneswar; or to MECL's laboratory in Nagpur. Minor and trace element analyses were conducted at a commercial laboratory in Bangalore operated by Esson and Co. All samples were analysed for Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, and LOI. Composite samples were analysed as well for V, Zn, S, P2O5, K2O, Na2O, CaO, adherent moisture, and organic carbon.

Analyses for all these radicals were determined by chemical method, employing the ethylene-diamene-tetra-acetic acid technique ("EDTA"), the industry standard at that time. LOI was determined thermally, by calculating the percentage loss on ignition of the resultant ash compared to the weight of the pre-heated sample.

Historical Resource Calculations

Cautionary Note to US Investors concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

This section uses the terms "Measured Resources" and "Indicated Resources".  While these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will be converted to reserves.This section also uses the term "Inferred Resources".  While this term is recognized by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize it.  Inferred Resources are subject to a great degree of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility.  It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.  Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or part of an Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

The Company has not received any estimates of Mineral Reserves, as that term is understood by the SEC.  The Company has not made an independent resource calculation, and the following estimates can be viewed as historical estimates.

ODM and MECL independently calculated resource estimates, based exclusively on data obtained from the holes drilled at 200-meter intervals. Data obtained from the closer-spaced drill holes were also utilized, but only as a check on the validity of the calculations. Data from the inclined drill holes, and from the pits were similarly utilized for checking purposes.

The resource estimates are in-situ geological resources. No mining constraints were considered. The cut-off grades of +40% Al2O3 and -5% SiO2 used in the calculations were specified by Balco, and were determined in anticipation of the bauxite being processed at their plant in Korba. Korba produces alumina.

A tonnage factor of 2.0 tonnes per cubic meter of bauxite was used in the calculations. This figure was based on bulk density tests performed on pit samples, and on specific gravity and porosity tests performed on pit and drill hole samples.

Three conventional techniques were followed in preparing the resource estimates: (i) average factor and area of influence method; (ii) cross section method; and (iii) isocline (isochore) method. The first two methods are similar in that they calculate area and multiply it by thickness to determine volume. Both methods are well suited to estimating a resource such as Gandhamardan, which is a uniform, homogeneous, horizontally-lying body.

The average factor and area of influence method is based on the assumption that all unit blocks are uniform in shape and in grade. An area of influence is established for each vertical drill hole, as one-half the horizontal distance to an adjacent hole. In the case of peripheral holes, it is the horizontal distance to the physical limit of the bauxite zone. This area is multiplied by the thickness of the bauxite intersected in that hole to give the volume, which is then converted to tonnage. Average grades are calculated by weighting grades against tonnages.

The cross section method utilizes cross sections, in this case prepared on a scale of 1:1,000. A cross-sectional area of bauxite is determined for each hole by taking one-half the distances to adjacent holes, and multiplying this area by the linear strike influence of the hole. The volume so obtained is then converted to tonnage.

The isocline method is based on the assumption that unit values gradually change from one point to another. Isograde maps and isochore maps are prepared, in this case 1% Al2O3 and 5 meters, respectively. The area encompassed between the respective isoclines and the two corresponding mid-points of assay value and thickness is used to estimate the resource.

The resource estimates calculated followed the Russian system of classification. Resource estimates made today classified by standards established by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy ("CIMM") parameters used to determine specific categories in the Russian system are analogous to those employed in the CIMM system. Under the CIMM classification system, MECL's A Category resource would become a Measured Resource, the B and Cl would become an Indicated Resource, and the C2 would become an Inferred Resource.

Four categories of resources were established, based on the Russian system, and termed A, B, Cl, and C2. MECL's 1980 Exploration Report, Volume I states "A Category reserves are considered suitable for mine planning", and considers them to be 90% accurate. MECL's Report describes the B Category resources as being "...sufficiently detailed to allow...broad outlining of the future mining activities and development of the deposit". B Category resources were calculated in areas where technical data were less detailed than in A Category areas, and were deemed to be 70% accurate.

Cl Category resources were estimated for areas where the bauxite was sufficiently explored to provide a "...rough estimation of the nature of mineralization, shape and structure of the ore body..." (ibid). Accuracy of the CI resources is considered to be 50%.

C2 Category resources are estimated for irregular parts of the bauxite zone, where "...insufficient exploration data...do not permit proper evaluation of shape, quality, etc." (ibid). The resources of Block 10 fall into this category. Here the plateau is irregular in shape, and the bauxite varies in thickness.

B.K. Mohanty in ODM's Resource Evaluation Report, 1981, states the total calculated tonnage as 207.37 million tonnes (including what would be categorized as inferred resources) with a weighted average grade of 45.75% Al2O3, 2.23% SiO2, 23.23% Fe2O3, 2.58% TiO2, 22.95% LOI. In the same report, S. M. Patnaik tabulates resource estimates for each of the 10 Blocks. His figures are shown in the table below. His calculated total tonnage is 213.43 million tonnes (including what would be categorized as inferred resources) with a weighted average grade of 46.50% Al2O3, and 2.49% SiO2. The three other radicals were not calculated.

MECL calculated resources independently, and categorized them according to the Russian system. MECL's 1980 Exploration Report, Volume I gives their total calculated resource (including what would be categorized as inferred resources) as 201.3 million tonnes averaging 46.40% Al2O3, 2.44% SiO2, and estimates the Fe2O3, TiO2, and LOI contents to be 23.41%, 2.47% and 24.59%, respectively. MECL's resource estimates by category are shown in the following table:





|category           | tonnage (million tonnes) | average grade
|------------------ | ------------------------ | -------------
|Al2O3              | SiO2                     | Fe2O2        
|A (Measured)       | 27.9                     | 46.67        
|B (Indicated)      | 45.8                     | 46.85        
|C1 + C2 (Inferred) | 127.5                    | 46.18        
|Total              | 201.3                    | 46.40        

Note: e = estimated figure

The three resource calculations are in fairly close agreement. The total tonnage figures differ by a maximum of only 6%, and the calculated weighted average grades by 1.4% for Al2O3, 9.0% for SiO2, 0.8% for Fe2O3, 1.2% for TiO2, and 6.7% for LOI.

The Company has not made an independent resource calculation and the foregoing estimates can only be viewed by the Company as historical estimates.

Data Verification

In examining the technical reports authored by ODM and MECL, it became apparent to E.A. Gallo, Canadian geologist, the author of the Report that the exploration evaluation programmes were conducted in a thorough, competent manner by knowledgeable, capable persons. The programmes followed a logical sequence of steps, justified by positive results, to determine the nature and extent of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, and its suitability for the production of alumina by the Bayer Process.

Discussions with OMC technical staff verified the integrity of the data.

Three site visits verified the presence of bauxite, the extent of the deposit, the grid that was established, the holes that were drilled, and the pits that were sunk. Six bauxite samples were personally collected by the author, and transported to a Canadian commercial laboratory for analyses. The analytical results for these samples are in general agreement with the results reported by ODM and MECL.

Planned Development

Reliable government exploration agencies have performed exploration work at the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit to prove the quality and quantity of Al2O3 in place. Recent reports done by independents have presented data that qualifies the deposit as proven. Only a modest amount of confirmatory work is required before the deposit can be brought into production.

Despite the vast data collected from over 600 drill holes measuring a total of 6,685.87 meters, core analysis of 5,178 meters, 135 pit samples and 130 scarp samples, a baseline study (the "Baseline Study") is still required on the Gandharmardan Bauxite Deposit before mining is commenced. The Baseline Study will constitute the final phase before the mining start-up.

A Baseline Study can take up to two years to complete at an estimated cost of $2,000,000. The Baseline Study will include (a) various environmental studies; (b) preparing local people with the overall understanding that their lifestyle will not be disturbed but that benefits would raise their standard of living; and (c) some topside sampling and chemical analysis. The following work programs for item (a) should be completed before the sampling can begin:



|Air quality                       | Dust measurement and assessment

Subject to obtaining necessary financing, the Company plans to initiate the final phase of the feasibility study during the fourth quarter of 2004 and is expected to take two years to complete.  Further subject to the receipt of a favourable feasibility study, the Company plans to seek participants for a consortium to facilitate the building of the mining and aluminium complex.

Hydroelectric Assets

The Company is currently reviewing alternative methods to continue development of its hydroelectric assets . However, the Company does not intend to inject any further funding into the development of its hydroelectric assets as its main focus is the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

The Company plans to follow through with one of the hydroelectric sites in the state of Washington during the next year.  This project has been approved by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC").  Consultants are currently seeking partners to assist the construction of this hydroelectric site.  The Company does not plan to use its own funds to further develop its hydroelectric assets at this time.

The Pisces Process

The Pisces Process, a fish protective water inlet device, is a mechanical system designed to steer fish stocks around the water intake to prevent, reduce and/or eliminate their impingement and/or entrainment at irrigation, industrial use and hydroelectric production facility water intakes. Model testing of the Pisces Process was conducted in the spring of 2000 at a laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Initial results show that the Pisces Process does work in the manner for which it was designed.

Patent

Rodney Smith, a former director and officer of the Company, and Colin Hall transferred all their right, title and interest in the Pisces Process and its derivatives to Balaton Power Corporation S.A. ("BSA"), a former controlling shareholder. BSA has achieved "patent pending" status of its application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Case Docket No. SMTT 321) and is patent-protected in 104 countries around the world for a float mounted intake system which will be marketed under the name of the "Pisces Process."

BSA entered into a licensing agreement with the Company whereby the Company has the right to manufacture and sell the System, the Pisces Process and BRIMAC and to implement the System at Company owned hydroelectric power production sites in the United States and Canada.

ITEM 5.	OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

General Discussion

During the year ended December 2003, the Company worked on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit for its wholly owned subsidiary CRL.  A change in the course of business occurred during the first of the year due to the acquisition of CRL in October 2002.  Formerly the Company was pursuing the sale of its patented Pisces Process.  The Pisces Process is still held by the Company and the Company plans to seek the market potential for such products at a later date.  At this time it appears the market potential is limited.  The Company wrote down its interests in these products during its audit in 2002.

The Company plans to form a consortium for the development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit to fund the mining, alumina plant and aluminium smelter.  Several interested parties have contacted CRL to enter into discussions and possible negotiations for participation.

- 17 -

Subsequent to the end of the 2003 fiscal year a CRL team went to India to meet with OMC in March to obtain confirmation of the new terms and conditions for a new joint venture agreement to develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  At OMC's board meeting, the directors approved the major points presented by CRL for the new agreement which include the ratio of 89% in favour of CRL and 11% for OMC through the mining phase and thereafter 100% of all downstream facilities (alumina plant and aluminium smelter) would be in favour of CRL.  OMC's 11% initial capital expenditure will be borne by CRL until production of bauxite begins.  The final agreement has not yet been signed.

During the 2003 fiscal year the Company engaged E.A. Gallo, a Canadian Geologist, to prepare a Research Report on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  This report was completed on April 8, 2003 and is summarized herein beginning on page 7.  A cost estimate study was also made in September 2003 identifying the costs necessary to begin mining.  In addition, feasibility studies are scheduled to begin following the receipt of a new joint venture agreement setting out the new terms as previously mentioned in this section is expected during the third quarter of 2004.

A.	Operating Results

The Company is a development stage resource company.  No revenues were reported in 2003 from operations.  The Company ceased promoting the Pisces Process and devoted the majority of its focus on it's subsidiary, CRL, the bauxite project in India and to a lesser extent on its other subsidiary, Snoqualmie River Hydro Inc., both owned by the Company.

The financial statements accompanying this Form 20-F are consolidated with its wholly owned subsidiary, CRL for the years 2003 and 2002.   During 2002, CRL had an unusual item of $1,895,987 representing a write down of an oil and gas lease located in Kansas.  This occurred prior to the reverse merger with the Company in October 2002.  No other unusual items occurred during years 2002 or 2003.

During 2003, the Company's principal expenses were general and administration (2003 - $195,000, 2002 - $38,404).  The increase in general and administration expenses was a result of increased activity on its India bauxite project including trips to India, administrative expenses in India plus changing administration offices from Boise, Idaho to Hutchinson, Kansas.  The Company also incurred consulting fees of $72,000 during 2003 (2002 - $171,500).  Consulting fees incurred during 2003 related to the bauxite project in India including the preparation of a summary report on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit by E.A. Gallo and the use of consultants in India for gathering data from the Orissa government.   The decrease over 2002 was a result in the elimination of consulting fees associated with the Pisces Process.

Currently, the Company's monthly working capital requirements total approximately $12,000 exclusive of working capital for the Gandhamardan Bauxite project.  The Company's anticipated working capital requirements, including working capital for the Gandhamardan Bauxite project, would total approximately $2,000,000, unless the Company is successful in forming a consortium for the exploration and development of the project.

The Company intends to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.  At present, the Company does not expect significant changes in the number of employees as it intends to utilize consultants to facilitate any work required on its projects, primarily the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.

B.	Liquidity and Capital Resources

Subsequent to the end of the 2003 fiscal year the Company raised $250,000 through the private placement of 1,000,000 shares. The Company currently has adequate cash to maintain operations (exclusive of exploration and development of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit) during the next twelve months due to this successful funding. Other sources for capital resources are from the exercise of warrants that are scheduled to expire during various dates during this year and options through 2007.  See Note 9 on page 10 of the financial statements for additional information.

The Company currently has a $1.68 million working capital deficit.  This deficit includes approximately $1.5 million relating to assumed liabilities in connection with the Acquisition.  Of these liabilities, $1.1 million are from CRL's expenditures on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit through COMPL and $400,000 are from CRL's domestic resource operations.  The parties to whom these expenditures are owed have not made demand for payment.  Based upon the Company's relations with these parties, the Company does not expect them to make demand for repayment until the Company has sufficient resources.  The Company is dependant on the continued forbearance of these creditors and there is no guarantee that such forbearances will continue.  If such forbearances do not continue, the Company may be adversely affected.  The remaining $180,000 working capital deficit is a disputed payable to S. J. Roth Capital Placement Inc.  See "Item 10: Additional Information - Material Contracts" for details on the loan agreement with S.J. Roth Capital Placement Inc.

The principal commitment of the Company is its subsidiary's obligations to OMC on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, a very large bauxite deposit located in Orissa, India.   CRL has been approached by third parties to conduct the feasibility study for an interest in the project.  CRL is confident that a consortium will be formed where CRL will be sheltered from the majority of the feasibility study expenditures.  Any relationship obtained with a major aluminium company with CRL would dramatically have a positive affect on the liquidity of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit for the Company.   If, however, the Company is unable to form a consortium to complete the feasibility study and, if warranted, to further explore and develop the project, the Company will need to provide the financing for the project itself, which would put a significant strain on the Company's financial resources.

C.	Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

The Company has one patent, Pisces Process, a fish protective water inlet device designed to steer fish stocks around the water intake to prevent, reduce and/or eliminate their impingement and/or entrainment at irrigation, industrial use and hydroelectric production facility water intakes.  Currently the Company is not actively pursuing this sector of business as its current focus has been shifted to the development and promotion of the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit.  The Company does plan to seek ways to promote the Pisces Process at a later time.

D.	Trend Information

The Company continues to have capital requirements in excess of its current resources.  As the Company continues to explore and develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, the Company will continue to have increased expenses and corresponding increased losses.  Currently and for the foreseeable future, the Company's only source of revenue is from the sale of its securities.  The Company expects that this trend will continue.

The Company believes that the impact of foreign currency fluctuations will not adversely affect the Company. The Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate has been improving in favour of the Canadian dollar.  The current exchange rate is $1.30 Canadian dollars for each U.S. dollar.  The Company does not take any steps to hedge against currency fluctuations.

E.	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

As used in this Item 5.E., the term off-balance sheet arrangement means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the company is a party, under which the company has:

(a) 	Any obligation under a guarantee contract that has any of the characteristics identified in paragraph 3 of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (November 2002) ("FIN 45"), as may be modified or supplemented, excluding the types of guarantee contracts described in paragraphs 6 and 7 of FIN 45;

(b) 	A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets;

(c) 	Any obligation under a derivative instrument that is both indexed to the company's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity, or not reflected, in the company's statement of financial position; or

(d) 	Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest (as referenced in FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (January 2003), as may be modified or supplemented) in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, the company, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with, the company.

G.	Safe Harbour

The safe harbour provided in Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act applies to forward-looking information provided pursuant to Item 5.E and F above.

Reconciliation to US GAAP

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to Canadian companies (see Note 17 to the audited financial statements).

Inflationary and Other Economic Pressures

The Company is not currently generating revenues from the sale of bauxite or its Systems. Future revenues will be generated from the sale of bauxite, which will be affected by world commodity prices. No immediate effect in respect to inflation and changes on prices is realized. However inflationary pressures affect the Company's operation and development expenditure, which is primarily incurred in U.S. dollars. The directors' estimation of inflation is considered with respect to the general state of the world economy of the United States in particular. At this stage the Company is unable to quantify the mix of inflationary pressures that will affect the price of bauxite.

Government Policies

The Company has considered the issue of political risk in India and will continue to do so as a matter of normal business practices.

Activities conducted by residents and non-residents in India and the flow of investment into the country and the return of capital out of the country are subject to regulation. All such controls and regulations are subject to change from time to time. Some of the interests of the Company are subject to the laws of Canada. These factors, in addition to the usual risks and the economic and political stability of the host country India are taken into account in relation to the Company's operations.

These policies or factors do not affect investments by United States residents in the Company's common shares.

Stock Option Plans and Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

The Company has not in the past adopted any stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of the Company's officers and directors other than as described herein. However, the Company has granted incentive stock options on an individual basis to provide compensation for performance.

No share options were granted to the directors and officers during the financial year December 31, 2003 and no share options were exercised by the directors and officers during the financial year ended December 31, 2003. The value of the unexercised in-the-money options of the directors and officers at the financial year December 31, 2003 was nil.

2004 Stock Option Plan

After the financial year end, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") in order to attract and retain employees and consultants and to provide additional incentive for directors, officers, employees and consultants, upon whose efforts and judgment the success of the Company is largely dependent, in order to grant either non-qualified stock options ("NQSO Options") or incentive stock options ("ISO Options") under the features provided for by the Code.  Both NQSO Options and ISO Options (together, the "Options") are available for grant under the Plan.

The Committee

The Plan provides for the granting by the Committee of Options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The common shares subject to the Plan will be registered at the Company's expense pursuant to the Act and applicable state securities acts, or will be issued by the Company pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state securities acts. The Committee administers and interprets the Plan and has authority to grant Options to all eligible persons.  The Committee also determines, at the time the Option is granted, the number of shares granted, the type of option (NQSO Options or ISO Options), the purchase or exercise price, the vesting and expiration period of the option and other applicable terms of the option grant.  At the present time, the entire board acts as the Committee.

Stock Options

The Plan provides for the issuance of either NQSO Options or ISO Options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, including any officer or director who is an employee of the Company for the purchase of common shares from the number of common shares which have been set aside for such purpose.  Under the provisions of the Plan, it is intended that the ISO Options granted thereunder will qualify as options granted pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, which will provide certain favourable tax consequences to participants who are granted and elect to exercise such Options. The Committee may grant either NQSO Options or ISO Options for such number of shares to eligible participants as the Committee from time to time shall determine and designate. Common shares involved in the unexercised portion of any terminated or expired Option may again be subjected to Options. The Committee is vested with discretion in determining the terms, restrictions and conditions of each Option. The option price of the common shares to be issued under the Plan will be determined by the Committee, provided that such price may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the day prior to the date of grant for NQSO Options and 100% for the fair market value for ISO Options. Furthermore, if the participant owns greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company, the exercise price of ISO Options may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common shares on the day prior to the date of the grant.  The fair market value of a share of the Company's common shares will initially be determined by averaging the closing high bid and low asked quotations for such share on the date of grant in the over-the-counter market (NASD Electronic Bulletin Board).

Options granted under the Plan are exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms as the Committee shall provide in such Option. With respect to ISO Options, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the ISO Option is granted) of the stock with respect to which any ISO Option is exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year under the Plan (and under all incentive stock option plans of the

- 24 -



Company and its subsidiaries qualified under the Code) shall not exceed $100,000. Upon the exercise of a NQSO Option or an ISO Option, the option price and any applicable withholding taxes must be paid in full by:

- cash or cheque for an amount equal to the aggregate stock option exercise price for the number of shares being purchased;
- in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee may approve, common shares owned by the optionee, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares with respect to which such stock option or portion is thereby exercised; or
- in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee may approve, a copy of instructions to a broker directing such broker to sell the common stock for which such Option is exercised, and to remit to the Company the aggregate exercise price of such Option;
- other consideration having equivalent value at the time of purchase as the Committee may determine.

An employee or consultant option will terminate at the earliest of the following dates:

- the termination date specified in the applicable option agreement;
- three (3) months after employment or consultant agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries terminates; or
- one (1) year after employment or the consultant agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries terminates due to retirement, permanent and total disability and death.

Options otherwise expire a maximum of ten (10) years after the date on which the Option is granted, the actual term to be determined by the Committee. An Option is not transferable or assignable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Options will become exercisable by the participants in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined by the Committee in each individual grant. Options are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Stock Subject To The Plan

The total number of common shares allotted and reserved for issuance under the Plan is 3,000,000 common shares, equivalent to approximately 4.39% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, as at June 30, 2004.   Such common shares will be reserved for Options to be granted at the discretion of the Committee.  Options to purchase an aggregate of 3,300,000 common shares have been granted on an individual basis and remain outstanding, all of which are held by former directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company.  Options to purchase an aggregate of 1,300,000 common shares have been granted under the Plan and are outstanding.

On October 31, 2002, CRL sold its oil and gas properties to Perial to facilitate the reorganization of CRL and the Company.  Perial acquired from its then wholly owned subsidiary, CRL, all of the oil and gas interests held by the subsidiary in exchange for a promissory note and the assumption of debt.  No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction.  The note is non-interest bearing and is payable from 25% of the gross production revenue of the oil and gas properties.

Legal Proceedings

No material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party are pending nor are any known to be contemplated and the Company knows of no legal proceedings pending or threatened, or judgments entered against, any director or officer of the Company in his or her capacity other than as disclosed herein.

On July 27, 2000, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Ron Brown, the Company's former President and later Vice President. Under the terms of the agreement Mr. Brown agreed to perform the services commonly associated with President and Chief Executive Officer in consideration of a salary of at least $15,000 per month, reimbursement of all expenses incurred, a life insurance policy in the amount of $1,500,000, medical and health benefits for Mr. Brown and all of his family members, and a vehicle allowance. In addition to the foregoing, the Company was obligated to issue to Mr. Brown options to acquire 5% of the shares issued and outstanding after the first year; 5% of the shares issued and outstanding after the second year, and 5% of the shares issued and outstanding at the end of the third year or a total of 15% of the total outstanding shares of the Company after three years. The term of the agreement was from June 30, 2000 to May 31, 2003. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement for just cause or for any act or omission that is a breach under the agreement that is not remedied within thirty days. It is also a term of the agreement that Mr. Brown may be terminated for cause. On February 12, 2001, Mr. Brown was terminated for cause. Mr. Brown brought an action in the Chancery Court for Williamson County, Tennessee, Case No. 27720, seeking a declaratory judgment that the foregoing employment contract is in full force and effect. As of the date of this document, the case remains outstanding.  As of June 30, 2004, negotiations to settle matters are on-going.

On March 29, 2004, an action was brought by Roderick Christie against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The Statement of Claim alleges that Christie acquired 260,000 shares of the Company from Balaton Power Corporation S.A. and that the Company has an obligation to transfer these shares to Mr. Christie but has refused to do so. Mr. Christie seeks $260,000 in damages or 260,000 common shares in the Company plus that amount of Canadian currency that is equal to the difference between the price at which the shares are trading at the time of delivery and $1.00. The Company has filed a Statement of Defence and brought on a court application to have Mr. Christie's claim struck or security for costs posted in court. The application is set to be heard later this year.

Dividends Policy

No dividend has been paid on the Common Shares since inception, and none is contemplated in the foreseeable future.

Joint Venture Agreement dated April 18, 1997

On April 18, 1997, Continental entered the Joint Venture Agreement with OMC to form a 50-50 joint venture company in the State of Orissa with its primary purpose to explore and exploit the Gandharmadan Bauxite Deposit.  Continental managed the daily operations of COMPL, the joint venture company.  Under the Joint Venture Agreement, OMC had an option to participate in Continental's proposed aluminium complex (including refinery, power plant and smelter).  This option was to be exercised within one year from the date of transfer of leases concerning the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit, of which such option could be extended by mutual consent.  Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, Continental bore all costs associated with the preparation of a feasibility report and exploration.

License Agreement with Balaton Power Corporation, S.A. dated July 31, 2000

Rodney Smith, a former director and officer of the Company and Colin Hall have transferred all their right, title and interest in the Pisces Process design and its derivatives to BSA. BSA has achieved "patent pending" status of its application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Case Docket No. SMTT 321) and is patent-protected in 104 countries around the world for a float mounted intake system which will be marketed under the name of the "Pisces Process." The Pisces Process is a mechanical device designed to steer fish stocks around the water intake to prevent, reduce and/or eliminate their impingement and/or entrainment at irrigation, industrial use and hydroelectric production facility water intakes. Model testing of the Pisces Process was conducted in the spring of 2000 at the Northwest Hydraulic Consultants' laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Licensing Agreement dated January 29, 2001

BSA entered into a licensing agreement with the Company whereby the Company has the right to manufacture and sell the System, the Pisces Process and the BRIMAC and to implement the System at Company owned hydroelectric power production sites in the United States and Canada. In consideration of the license, the Company is obligated to make the payment of $150,000 to BSA as advance payment of royalties of five percent (5%) of gross revenues. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has paid $50,000 to BSA and has agreed to pay the balance of $100,000 upon receipt of funding by the Company in the aggregate amount of not less than $4,000,000. Subsequent to the year ended 2002, the parties agreed to reduce the royalty to 2%, and waive all further obligations of the Company, in consideration for 500,000 common shares of the Company.

Stock Exchange Agreement dated September 30, 2002

On September 3, 2002 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of CRL from Perial in consideration for 33,000,000 common shares of the Company. 25,000,000 of these shares were issued to Perial and 8,000,000 were issued as a finder's fee. The transaction completed on October 31, 2002 and resulted in the change of control of the Company and the focus of the Company's business on the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit. See "Information on the Company" for a description of this transaction.

Loan Agreement dated February 11, 2002

On February 11, 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement arranged by S.J. Roth Capital Placement Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the "Lender" is to make four consecutive loans to the Company, each loan in the amount of $125,000 (the "Loans") a total of $163,436 was advanced to the Company. Each Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note, accruing interest at approximately 7.3% per annum and maturing and payable December 31, 2002. Each Loan has conversion privileges whereby the Lender may convert each of the Loans or any portion thereof outstanding, including interest, into "Units". Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant entitling the Lender to purchase from the Company, one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 at any time prior to the expiry date of December 31, 2004. As at December 31, 2003, $179,779 was owing on the loans, being $163,438 in principal and $16,343 in penalties. The loans have not yet been repaid and are subject to dispute.

D.	Exchange Controls

There are no exchange controls or other limitations which affect security holders other than the shares of common stock issued to BSA which are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Reg. 144 of the Act and may only be resold in compliance with Reg. 144 of the Act.

In general, under Reg. 144, an affiliate of the Company (officers, directors, and owners of more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company) may sell in ordinary market transactions through a broker or with a market maker, within any three (3) month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent (1%) of the number of outstanding shares of common stock or the average of the weekly trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Sales under Reg. 144 require the filing of Form 144 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the shares of common stock have been held for more than two (2) years by a person who is not an affiliate, there is no limitation on the manner of sale or the volume of shares that may be sold and no Form 144 is required. Sales under Reg. 144 may have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's common stock.

The Company is a Province of British Columbia, Canada corporation. There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of common shares, other than withholding tax requirements. Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholding tax, however no such remittances are likely in the foreseeable future. See "Taxation".

There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote its common shares, other than as provided in theInvestment Canada Act(Canada) (the "Investment Act"). The following discussion summarizes the material features of the

- 29 -



Investment Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire a controlling number of the Company's common shares. The disclosure herein is not a substitute for independent advice from an investor's own advisor and does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments. The Company does not believe the Investment Act will have any affect on it or its non-Canadian shareholders due to a number of factors including the nature of its operations and the Company's relatively small capitalization.

The Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a "reviewable" investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture (each an "entity") that is not a "Canadian" as defined in the Investment Act (i.e. a "non-Canadian"), unless after review the Director of Investments appointed by the minister responsible for theInvestment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. The size and nature of a proposed transaction may give rise to an obligation to notify the Director to seek an advance ruling. An investment in the Company's common shares by a non-Canadian (other than a "WTO Investor" as that term is defined in theInvestment Act and which term includes entities which are nationals of or are controlled by nationals of member states of the World Trade Organization) when the Company was not controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Actif it was an investment to acquire control of the Company and the value of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, was over a certain figure, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, regardless of the value of the assets of the Company. An investment in the Common Shares by a WTO Investor, or by a non-Canadian when the Company was controlled by a WTO Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it was an investment to acquire control of the Company and the value of the assets of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under the Investment Act, was not less than a specified amount. A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for the purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the Common Shares. The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the Common Shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquiror through the ownership of the Common Shares.

The foregoing assumes the Company will not engage in the production of uranium or own an interest in a producing uranium property in Canada, or provide any financial service or transportation service, as the rules governing these businesses are different. Certain transactions relating to the Common Shares would be exempt from the Investment Act, including:

(a) 	an acquisition of the Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities,

(b) 	an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act, and

(c) 	an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through the ownership of the Common Shares, remained unchanged.

E.	Taxation

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences for United States Residents

The following summarizes the material Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to the holding and disposition of common shares by a holder (in this summary, a "U.S. Holder") who, (a) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act(Canada) (the "Tax Act"), is not resident in Canada, deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the common shares as capital property and does not use or hold the common shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada, and (b) for the purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the "Treaty"), is a resident solely of the United States, has never been a resident of Canada, and has not held or used (and does not hold or use) common shares in connection with a permanent establishment or fixed base in Canada. This summary does not apply to traders or dealers in securities, limited liability companies, tax-exempt entities, insurers, financial institutions (including those to which the mark-to-market provisions of the Tax Act apply), or any other U.S. Holder to which special considerations apply.

- 30 -

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act including all regulations thereunder, the Treaty, all proposed amendments to the Tax Act, the regulations and the Treaty publicly announced by the Government of Canada to the date hereof, and the current administrative practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed and that there will be no other relevant change in any governing law or administrative practice, although no assurances can be given in these respects. The immediately following summary does not take into account Canadian provincial, U.S. federal (which follows further below), state or other foreign income tax law or practice. The tax consequences to any particular U.S. Holder will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the jurisdictions in which that holder is subject to taxation, and generally according to that holder's particular circumstances. Accordingly, this summary is not, and is not to be construed as, Canadian tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder.

Dividends

Dividends paid or deemed to be paid to a U.S. Holder by the Company will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Under the Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid to a U.S. Holder is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% if the U.S. Holder is a corporation and beneficially owns at least 10% of the Company's voting shares). the Company will be required to withhold the applicable withholding tax from any such dividend and remit it to the Canadian government for the U.S. Holder's account.

Disposition

A U.S. Holder is not subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition of a Common Share in the open market unless the share is "taxable Canadian property" to the holder thereof and the U.S. Holder is not entitled to relief under the Treaty. A common share will be taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Holder if, at any time during the 60 months preceding the disposition, the U.S. Holder or persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arm's length alone or together owned, or had rights to acquire, 25% or more of the Company's issued shares of any class or series.

A U.S. Holder whose common shares do constitute taxable Canadian property, and who might therefore be liable for Canadian income tax under the Tax Act, will generally be relieved from such liability under the Treaty unless the value of such shares at the time of disposition is derived principally from real property situated in Canada. The value of the Company's common shares is not currently derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

United States Tax Consequences

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a discussion of all material United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences. (see "Taxation- Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences" above). Accordingly, we urge holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Company to consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company, based upon their individual circumstances.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.

- 31 -

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" means a holder of common shares of the Company who is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets and who own (directly and indirectly, pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership) no more than 5% of the value of the total outstanding stock of the Company. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares. In addition, this summary does not address special rules applicable to United States persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) holding common shares through a foreign partnership or to foreign persons holding common shares through a domestic partnership.

Distribution on Common Shares of the Company

In general, U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions, equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder's federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder's federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion at "Foreign Tax Credit" below). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of property. Preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, an individual whose realized gain does not exceed $200 will not recognize that gain, provided that there are no expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirements for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip) or as an expense for the production of income.

Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder which is a corporation and which owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% (or 80% if the U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 20% of the voting power and value of the Company) deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a "foreign personal holding company" or a "passive foreign investment company," as defined below). The Company does not anticipate that it will earn any United States income, however, and therefore does not anticipate that any U.S. Holder will be eligible for the dividends received deduction.

- 32 -



Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on the Company's common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of the Company's common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 31% U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer's income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder's United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as "passive income, " "high withholding tax interest," "financial services income," "shipping income," and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute "passive income" or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, "financial services income" for these purposes. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific, and U.S. Holders of common shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of Common Shares of the Company

In general, U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder's tax basis in the common shares of the Company. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders which are individuals, estates or trusts. In general, gain or loss on the sale of common shares of the Company will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. For U.S. Holders which are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

Set forth below are certain material exceptions to the above-described general rules describing the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares:

Foreign Personal Holding Company

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Company's outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly (pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership), by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of the Company's gross income for such year is derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from certain interest and dividends), the Company may be treated as a "foreign personal holding company." In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income. The Company does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign personal holding company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a foreign personal holding company for the current or any future taxable year.

- 33 -

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Company's outstanding shares is held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company may be treated as a "foreign investment company" as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain. the Company does not believe that it currently qualifies as a foreign investment company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a foreign investment company for the current or any future taxable year.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

United States income tax law contains rules governing "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFIC") which can have significant tax effects on U.S. Holders of foreign corporations. These rules do not apply to non-U.S. Holders. Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States if, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is "passive income," which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the corporation is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of "passive income" is 50% or more. Each U.S. Holder of the Company is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect such U.S. Holder's tax situation with respect to ownership of the Company's shares.

Each U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to United States federal income taxation under one of three alternative tax regimes at the election of such U.S. Holder. The following is a discussion of such alternative tax regimes applied to such U.S. Holders of the Company. In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a "controlled foreign corporation" (as defined below) and a U.S. Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of such foreign corporation (Seemore detailed discussion at "Controlled Foreign Corporation" below).

A U.S. Holder who elects to treat the Company as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year to which the election applies in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC on his pro rata share of the Company's (i) "net capital gain" (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain, and (ii) "ordinary earnings" (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income, in each case, for the shareholder's taxable year in which (or with which) the Company's taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in the common shares will be increased by any such amount that is included in income but not distributed.

The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election, and the consequences of such election, will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holder's holding period in which the Company is a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, i.e., a "timely" QEF election, then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files his tax return for such first year. If, however, the Company qualified as a PFIC in a prior year during the U.S. Holder's holding period, then, in order to avoid the Section 1291 rules discussed below, in addition to filing documents, the U.S. Holder must elect to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (discussed herein), (i)any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date or (ii)if the Company is a controlled foreign corporation, the U.S. Holder's pro rata share of the Company's post-1986 earnings and profits as of the qualification date. The qualification date is the first day of the Company's first tax year in which the Company qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. Holder who makes (i) a timely QEF election, or (ii) an untimely QEF election and either of the above-described gain-recognition elections under Section 1291 is referred to herein as an "Electing U.S. Holder." A U.S. Holder who holds common shares at any time during a year of the Company in which the Company is a PFIC and who is not an

- 34 -



Electing U.S. Holder (including a U.S. Holder who makes an untimely QEF election and makes neither of the above-described gain-recognition elections) is referred to herein as a "Non-Electing U.S. Holder." An Electing U.S. Holder (i)generally treats any gain realized on the disposition of his the Company common shares as capital gain; and (ii)may either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of the Company's annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any interest charge imposed under the PFIC regime would be treated as "personal interest" that is not deductible.

In order for a U.S. Holder to make (or maintain) a valid QEF election, the Company must provide certain information regarding its net capital gains and ordinary earnings and permit its books and records to be examined to verify such information. the Company intends to make the necessary information available to U.S. Holders to permit them to make (and maintain) QEF elections with respect to the Company. The Company urges each U.S. Holder to consult a tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, the QEF election.

A QEF election, once made with respect to the Company, applies to the tax year for which it was made and to all subsequent tax years, unless the election is invalidated or terminated, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. If a QEF election is made by a U.S. Holder and the Company ceases to qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will remain in effect, although not applicable, during those tax years in which the Company does not qualify as a PFIC. Therefore, if the Company again qualifies as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders in such tax year and any subsequent tax years in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC. In addition, the QEF election remains in effect, although not applicable, with respect to an Electing U.S. Holder even after such U.S. Holder disposes of all of his or its direct and indirect interest in the shares of the Company. Therefore, if such U.S. Holder reacquires an interest in the Company, that U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders for each tax year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.

In the case of a Non-Electing U.S. Holder, special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i)gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reasons of a pledge) of his Balaton common shares and (ii)certain "excess distributions," as defined in Section 1291(b), by the Company.

A Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro rate all gains realized on the disposition of his Balaton common shares and all excess distributions on his Balaton common shares over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder (excluding any portion of the holder's period prior to the first day of the first year of the Company (i) which began after December 31, 1986, and (ii) for which the Company was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-Electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat this interest charge as "personal interest" which, as discussed above, is wholly non-deductible. The balance, if any, of the gain or the excess distribution will be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to such balance. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the PFIC interest charge may exceed the amount of the excess distribution received, or the amount of proceeds of disposition realized, by the U.S. Holder.

If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds the Company common shares, then the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Balaton common shares, even if it is no longer definitionally a PFIC. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if the Company's common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC.

Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market annually (a "mark-to-market election"). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 discussed above. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to the

- 35 -

Company's common shares. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election will include in income for each taxable year for which the election is in effect an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in such common shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i)the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii)the excess, if any, of (A)the mark-to-market gains for the common shares in the Company included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been treated as a mark-to-market gain for any prior tax year but for the Section 1291 rules discussed above with respect to Non-Electing U.S. Holders, over (B)the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares of the Company will be adjusted to reflect the amount included in or deducted from income as a result of a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless the Company's common shares cease to be marketable, as specifically defined, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. Because the IRS has not established procedures for making a mark-to-market election, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the manner of making such an election. No view is expressed regarding whether common shares of the Company are marketable for these purposes or whether the election will be available.

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued Proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-Electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases the basis of Balaton common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those common shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, an Electing U.S. Holder would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferee's basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. In the case of a transfer by an Electing U.S. Holder upon death, for example, the transferee's basis is generally equal to the fair market value of the Electing U.S. Holder's common shares as of the date of death under Section 1014 of the Code. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred. Each U.S. Holder of the Company is urged to consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect his or its tax situation.

Whether or not a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect to common shares of the Company, certain adverse rules may apply in the event that both the Company and any foreign corporation in which the Company directly or indirectly holds shares is a PFIC (a "lower-tier PFIC"). Pursuant to certain Proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder would be treated as owning his or its proportionate amount of any lower-tier PFIC shares, and generally would be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such indirectly-held PFIC shares unless such U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect thereto. The Company intends to make the necessary information available to U.S. Holders to permit them to make (and maintain) QEF elections with respect to each subsidiary of the Company that is a PFIC.

Under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF election with respect to a lower-tier PFIC generally would be subject to tax (and the PFIC interest charge) on (i) any excess distribution deemed to have been received with respect to his or its lower-tier PFIC shares and (ii) any gain deemed to arise from a so-called "indirect disposition" of such shares. For this purpose, an indirect disposition of lower-tier PFIC shares would generally include (i) a disposition by the Company (or an intermediate entity) of lower-tier PFIC shares, and (ii) any other transaction resulting in a diminution of the U.S. Holder's proportionate ownership of the lower-tier PFIC, including an issuance of additional common shares by the Company (or an intermediate entity). Accordingly, each prospective U.S. Holder should be aware that he or it could be subject to tax even if such U.S. Holder receives no distributions from the Company and does not dispose of its common shares. The Company strongly urges each prospective U.S. Holder to consult a tax advisor with respect to the adverse rules applicable, under the Proposed Treasury Regulations, to U.S. Holders of lower-tier PFIC shares.

Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to Balaton common shares while Balaton is a PFIC unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such shares.

Controlled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote or the total value of the shares of Balaton is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporation, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), each of which own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares entitled to vote of Balaton ("United States Shareholder"), Balaton could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFC's Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of increases in the CFC's earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares of Balaton which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of Balaton attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States Shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. Special rules apply to United States Shareholders who are subject to the special taxation rules under Section1291 discussed above with respect to a PFIC. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion. The Company does not believe that it currently qualifies as a CFC. However, there can be no assurance that Balaton will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are:

1.	interest rates on debt; and,

2.	foreign exchange rates.

The following risk management discussion and the estimated amounts generated from analytical techniques are forward looking statements of market risk assuming certain market conditions occur. The Company's actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in the global financial markets.

Interest rates

The Company currently does not have a material debt which would be affected by a fluctuation in interest rates could affect.

Foreign exchange rates

The Company has not generated any revenues to date. In the future the Company intends to hedge transactions because of its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Operating in international markets involves exposure to movements in currency exchange rates that typically affect economic growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors.

The Company's revenue streams and operating expenses are denominated in three primary currencies: the US dollar, Canadian dollar and Indian Rupies. The currency movement that would have the greatest impact upon the Company's operations is the US dollar/Indian Rupies exchange rate. Strengthening the U.S. dollar will have the affect of decreasing the Company's earnings.

Inflation

Inflation had no material impact on the Company's operations during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

ITEM 15.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003 being the date of our most recently completed fiscal year.  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The term "internal control over financial reporting" is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;
2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant;and
3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company does not have a financial expert serving on its audit committee.  The Company has had some difficulty in attracting financial experts to serve on its board of directors, due to the Company's small size.  The Company's financial statements are not complex, and the Company does not view the retention of a financial expert as critical to its further development.  Regardless, the Company is currently considering appointing a director to the board and to the audit committee who would be a financial expert.

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of Balaton Power Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Balaton Power Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in both Canada and the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to 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.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. readers on Canada - U.S. reporting difference

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated May 18, 2004, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Balaton Power Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Going concern basis of presentation and nature of organization

On October 31, 2002 Balaton Power Inc. ("BPI") acquired Continental Resources (USA) Inc., ("CRI") in an arms length transaction, in exchange for 25,000,000 restricted common shares to the shareholders of CRI and as well issued an additional 8,000,000 restricted shares as finders' fees. Balaton Power Corporation S.A. in order to facilitate the transaction also sold 10,000,000 of its 13,000,000 common shares to various parties connected to CRI at $0.001 per share. The acquisition was treated as a reverse takeover of the Company. However, in accordance with EIC-10, the transaction is a capital transaction in substance rather than a business combination. The purchase method has been applied by CRI and the net liability of BPI has been charged to the deficit. The transaction was an asset acquisition by the Company and not a business combination. Accordingly, while the Company will have issued sufficient shares such that control of the Company was acquired by the shareholders of CRI, the transaction was not accounted for as a reverse takeover.

The consolidated financial statements of the combined entity are issued under the name of the legal parent, BPI, but are considered a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary CRI.

The Corporation is developing a bauxite deposit in the state of Orissa in India.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values.

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. These financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Resources (USA) Inc. A summary of the differences between accounting principles generally accepted in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") and those generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") which affect the Company is contained in Note 16.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include deposits at Canadian and United States financial institutions.

Mineral property

The Company expenses all exploration costs incurred on properties other than acquisition costs prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. The company performs evaluations of its assets to assess the recoverability of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable utilizing established guidelines based upon discounted future net cash flows from asset or upon the determination that certain exploration properties do not have sufficient potential for economic mineralization.

Costs related to the acquisition, exploration, development and inherent costs to the management of the mineral properties are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production. If commercially profitable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized on the unit of production method. If it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are not recoverable over the estimated economic life of the property, or the project is abandoned, the project is written down to its net realizable value. Recovery of the amounts recorded under mineral properties is dependent upon the ability of the Corporation to obtain the financing needed to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposal thereof. The amount shown for mineral property does not necessarily reflect future or present values.

Stock-based compensation plans

Stock options and warrants granted are accounted for using the fair value method under which compensation expense is recorded based on the estimated fair value of the options at the grant date.

Income taxes

Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method of tax accounting. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on unclaimed losses carried forward and are measured using the substantially enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse or losses are expected to be utilized. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that the recoverability of future income tax assets is not considered more likely than not.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including contingently issuable shares which are included when the conditions necessary for issuance have been met. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include potentially issuable common shares from the assumed exercise of common share purchase options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares included in the calculation is based on the treasury stock method for options and warrants.

Foreign exchange

Although the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar, these financial statements use the US dollar as the unit of measurement. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at year-end exchange rates. Other balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the translation date. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation gains and losses are included in income.

3. Acquisitions

Effective October 31, 2002, Continental Resources (USA) Inc., in order to become a reporting issuer, was acquired by Balaton Power Inc. (see Note 1).

Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration are as follows:



|Cash                                       |  | $ 696      
|------------------------------------------ |  | -----------
|Other assets                               |  | 10,200     
|Liabilities assumed                        |  | (420,376)  
|Net liability charged to retained earnings |  | $ (409,480)

During the previous year, the company CRI acquired 50% and effective control of Continental Orissa Mining Private Limited ("Orissa") for consideration of management directing the exploration and development of a bauxite deposit in the province of Orissa, India. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations have been included in these financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Assets, acquired, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration are as follows:



|Assets acquired     |  |            
|------------------- |  | -----------
|Mineral property    |  | $ 1,145,163
|Liabilities assumed |  | (1,145,163)
|Consideration       |  | $

4. Note receivable

On October 31, 2002, Perial Ltd. ("Perial"), the parent of CRI, purchased the oil and gas properties of CRI to facilitate the reorganization of CRI and Balaton Power Inc. Perial acquired from its then wholly owned subsidiary, CRI, all of the oil and gas interests held by the subsidiary in exchange for a promissory note and the assumption of debt. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction. The note is non-interest bearing and is payable from 25% of the gross production revenue of the oil and gas properties.

5. Natural resource properties



|Resource properties consist of: | 2003 | 2002

|                                | $ -  | $ 2,389,251

6. License agreement

The Company has entered into a license agreement with Balaton Power Corporation S.A., to manufacture, market, sell/lease and otherwise commercialize Balaton's proprietary technology and related confidential data throughout Canada and the United States for a period of 20 years. The license has a continuing option to renew for a further 20 years at the expiration of each 20 year period. The Company paid a $50,000 advance royalty payment and will pay a royalty of 5% as calculated pursuant to the agreement and a further $100,000 once the Company has raised a further $4,000,000 in financing.

In 2003, the agreement was amended to reduce the royalty to 2% and eliminate all other obligations of the Company under the agreement. The Company issued 500,000 common shares as consideration for this amendment.

7. Convertible debt

On February 11, 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement arranged by S.J. Roth Capital Placement Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the Lender was to make four consecutive loans to the Company, each loan in the amount of $125,000 ("the loans"). Each loan shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note, accruing interest at approximately 7.3% per annum and maturing and payable December 31, 2002. Each loan has conversion privileges whereby the Lender may convert each of the loans or any portion thereof outstanding, including interest, into "Units". Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company and one Share Purchase Warrant entitling the Lender to purchase from the Company one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 at any time prior to expiry date of December 31, 2004.

The Company received $163,436 under the terms of these loans and has incurred a penalty of $16,343.

10. Income taxes

In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future income tax assets is dependant upon the generation of future taxable income and on the successful development of its mineral property.

The Company incurs expenditures in United States dollars and Indian rupees as such is subject to risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

The Company's principal exposure to interest rate fluctuations is with respect to its convertible debt financing which bears interest at 7.3%.

12. Related party transactions

Related party transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Related party transactions include the following:

On October 31, 2002, CRI sold its oil and gas properties to Perial Ltd., its parent company, to facilitate the reorganization of CRI and Balaton Power Inc. Perial acquired from its then wholly owned subsidiary, CRI all of the oil and gas interests held by the subsidiary in exchange for a promissory note and the assumption of debt. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction. The note is non-interest bearing and is payable from 25% of the gross production revenue of the oil and gas properties.

13. Commitments

The Company is committed to the lease of its Boise, Idaho premises until March 2004 at the rate of $1,280 per month.

14. Contingent liability

On February 21, 2001, a lawsuit for wrongful termination was filed in the Chancery Court for Williamson County, Tennessee against the Company by the former president. The Company believes that it has meritorious defences against the claim and intends to vigourously defend itself. As the outcome is not determinable, the Company has not accrued any amount for this claim.

On March 29, 2004, an action was brought in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by a person associated with Balaton Power Corporation S.A. The claim alleges that the claimant acquired 260,000 shares from Balaton Power Corporation S.A. and that the Company has an obligation to transfer the shares.. The Company believes that the claimant does not have a strong claim and intends to vigourously defend itself. As the outcome is not determinable, the Company has not accrued any amount for this claim.

15. Subsequent events

Subsequent to the year end the Company settled certain indebtedness amounting to $48,943 by issuing 459,576 common shares of the Company from treasury. In addition a shareholder of the Company assumed certain indebtedness of the Company amounting to $46,378 in exchange for 75,000 common shares of the Company.

On March 30, 2004, the Company closed a private placement of one million units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $250,000. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder for 18 months from the date of issue to acquire one additional common share, of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.40. The warrants expire September 30, 2005.

The Company's 100% owned subsidiary Continental Resources (USA) Ltd. ("Continental") held meetings with its Joint Venture Partner, Orissa Mining Corporation ("OMC") in March to obtain confirmation of the new terms and conditions for a new agreement to develop the Gandhamardan Bauxite Deposit. OMC at its Board meeting approved the major points presented by Continental for the new agreement which include the ratio of 89% in favor of Continental and 11% for OMC through the mining phase and thereafter 100% of all downstream facilities (alumina plant and aluminium smelter) would be in favor of Continental. OMC's 11% initial capital expenditure will be borne by Continental until production of bauxite begins.

16. Amended financial statements

Note 9, share capital, has been amended to correct the amounts and terms of certain of the outstanding options and warrants and issued share capital.

17. Comments for U.S. readers

Differences in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") between those utilized in Canada and those utilized in the United States create differences in the treatment of certain transactions and the disclosures contained in the financial statements. Accordingly, disclosure of those differences and a reconciliation with United States accounting practices is appropriate for United States readers of the financial statements.
