NOTE 1 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Organization

The financial statements presented are those of Mountain States Resources
Corporation (the "Company").  The Company was incorporated in the state of
Utah on April 15, 1969.  The Company was incorporated for the purpose of
mining and mineral extraction and oil and gas exploration, development and
production activities, believed to hold a potential for profit.  The Company
discontinued its operations in 1993 and is considered a development stage
company per Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #7.

b. Accounting Method

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting.  The Company has selected a March 31 year end.

c. Loss Per Common Share

The computation of loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements.  

d. Provision for Taxes

No provision for taxes has been made due to operating losses at September 30,
1996 and March 31, 1996.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company has
approximately $5,750,000 of net operating loss carryover.  This net operating
loss will start expiring in 1997 and will continue until 2011.

e. Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

f. 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 and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.<PAGE>

NOTE 4 -  GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business.  However, the Company does not have significant cash or other
material assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient
to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. 
It is the intent of the Company to seek a merger with an existing, operating
company.

NOTE 5 -  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The former president and other officers of the Company  have paid certain
expenses of the Company, incurred during its dormant state.  On September 1,
1989 and October 26, 1989 these expenses were converted to notes payable (see
Note 2).  The amounts due to these related parties were subsequently settled
with these parties (See Note 7).

NOTE 6 -  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During 1993 the Company discontinued its operations and was reclassified as a
development  stage company.  All revenues generated by the Company have been
netted against the expenses and are grouped into the discontinued operations
line on the statement of operations.  The liabilities and assets of the
Company have been adjusted to their net realizable values

NOTE 7 -  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company settled on much of its outstanding debt in the month of September,
1996.  The Company issued an additional 51,660,000 shares of its common stock
as settlement of these debts.  On August 27, 1996 the outstanding preferred
stock of the Company, 39,473 shares, was canceled in conjunction with a
Settlement and Release.  The preferred shares and a release of debt were
transferred to the Company in exchange for 2,000,000 common shares of the
Company.

In addition to the above mentioned notes, the Company entered into an
agreement for future legal and accounting costs, as well as the settlement and
release of debt to a shareholder.  Under this agreement, the Company issued
480,000 shares of $0.10 per share for amounts valued at $48,000.

On September 20, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 100-for-1 reverse
stock split.  The reverse stock split has been reflected in these financial
statements on a retroactive basis.<PAGE>

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

General
-------
OVERVIEW

     Since discontinuing operations in 1993, the Company has had no
operations. The Company was organized for the purpose of mining and mineral
extraction and oil and gas exploration, development and production activities,
however, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets,
nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover
operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.  The Company
intends to take advantage of any reasonable business proposal presented which
management believes will provide the Company and its stockholders with a
viable business opportunity.  The board of directors will make the final
approval in determining whether to complete any acquisition, and unless
required by applicable law, the articles of incorporation or bylaws or by
contract, stockholders' approval will not be sought.

     The investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation,
drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and
other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and
will require the Company to incur costs for payment of accountants, attorneys,
and others.  If a decision is made not to participate in or complete the
acquisition of a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in a
related investigation will not be recoverable. Further, even if an agreement
is reach for the participation in a specific business opportunity by way of
investment or otherwise, the failure to consummate the particular transaction
may result in the loss to the Company of all related costs incurred.

     Currently, management is not able to determine the time or resources that
will be necessary to locate and acquire or merge with a business prospect. 
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire an interest in
any such prospects, products or opportunities that may exist or that any
activity of the Company, regardless of the completion of any transaction, will
be profitable. If and when the Company locates a business opportunity,
management of the Company will give consideration to the dollar amount of that
entity's profitable operations and the adequacy of its working capital in
determining the terms and conditions under which the Company would consummate
such an acquisition.  Potential business opportunities, no matter which form
they may take, will most likely result in substantial dilution for the
Company's shareholders due to the issuance of stock to acquire such an
opportunity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company had no assets and current
liabilities of $75,184, for a working capital deficit of $75,184. For the six
months ended September 30, 1996, the Company's experienced a gain of $60,221
from discontinued operations due to settlement of outstanding obligations for
below booked cost. From inception (April 15, 1969) through September 30, 1996,
the Company has an accumulated loss of $5,753,737. Since discontinuing
operations the Company has not generated revenue and it is unlikely that any
revenue will be generated until the Company locates a business opportunity
with which to acquire or merge. Management of the Company will be
investigating various business opportunities.  These efforts may cost the
Company not only out of pocket expenses for its management but also expenses
associated with legal and accounting cost.

     The Company has had no employees since discontinuing operations and does
not intend to employ anyone in the future, unless its present business
operations were to change.  The president of the Company is providing the
Company with a location for its offices on a "rent free basis."  The Company
is not paying salaries or other form of compensation to any officers or
directors of the Company for their time and effort. Unless otherwise agreed to
by the Company, the Company does intend to reimburse its officers and
directors for out of pocket cost.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company has not had any operations during the quarter ended September
30, 1996, and has not had any operations since discontinuing operations in
1993. Since that time, the Company's only operations to date have involved the
negotiation of settlements of the Company's outstanding liabilities. 

     Management anticipates that the Company will incur more cost including
legal and accounting fees to locate and complete a merger or acquisition.  At
the present time the Company does not have the assets to meet these financial
requirements.

     If and when the Company locates a business opportunity, management of the
Company will give consideration to the dollar amount of that entity's
profitable operations and the adequacy of its working capital in determining
the terms and conditions under which the Company would consummate such an
acquisition.  Potential business opportunities, no matter which form they may
take, will most likely result in substantial dilution for the Company's
shareholders as it has only limited capital and no operations.
