                           Accountant's Review Report
                           --------------------------


Board of Directors and Shareholders
El Plata Corporation

We have reviewed the  accompanying  balance  sheets of El Plata  Corporation  (a
Florida  corporation)  as of  November  30,  2000 and 1999 and the  accompanying
statements of operations and  comprehensive  income and cash flows for the three
months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 These financial  statements are prepared
in  accordance  with the  instructions  for Form 10-QSB,  as issued by the U. S.
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  and are the sole  responsibility  of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression on an opinion  regarding the financial  statements  taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the  accompanying  financial  statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note A to the
financial statements, the Company had no viable operations or significant assets
since 1990 and  continues  to be  dependent  upon  significant  shareholders  to
provide  sufficient  working  capital to maintain the integrity of the corporate
entity. These circumstances create substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to  continue  as a going  concern  and are  discussed  in Note A. The  financial
statements do not contain any adjustments  that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

                                                         S. W. HATFIELD, CPA

                          Notes to Financial Statements


Note A - Organization and Description of Business

El Plata Mining  Corporation  (Company) was  incorporated  under the laws of the
State of Nevada on February 23, 1973 and restated its Articles of  Incorporation
on September 30, 1999. The September 30, 1999 restatement  changed the Company's
authorized  number of shares  from  20,000,000  to  100,000,000  and changed the
stated par value per share from $0.05 per share to $0.001 per share.

The Company's initial activities were to have quiet and exclusive  possession of
the unpatented  lode mining claims on certain  property  located in Elko County,
Nevada, together with a right to examine,  sample, drill, develop, mine, extort,
process and market from the claims all of the metal ores, minerals and materials
of  whatsoever   nature  or  sort,  except  oil  and  gas.  These  efforts  were
unsuccessful  and were  abandoned  prior to August 31,  1989,  at which time the
Company became dormant.

The Company has had no operations,  assets or liabilities  since its fiscal year
ended August 31, 1990.  Accordingly,  the Company is dependent  upon  management
and/or  significant  shareholders  to  provide  sufficient  working  capital  to
preserve the integrity of the corporate entity at this time. It is the intent of
management and significant  shareholders to provide  sufficient  working capital
necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.

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.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.   Cash and cash equivalents
     -------------------------

     For  Statement of Cash Flows  purposes,  the Company  considers all cash on
     hand  and  in  banks,  including  accounts  in  book  overdraft  positions,
     certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities
     of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

2.   Income Taxes
     ------------

     The Company uses the asset and liability  method of  accounting  for income
     taxes. At November 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively,  the deferred tax asset
     and deferred  tax  liability  accounts,  as recorded  when  material to the
     financial  statements,  are entirely  the result of temporary  differences.
     Temporary  differences  represent  differences in the recognition of assets
     and  liabilities  for  tax  and  financial  reporting  purposes,  primarily
     accumulated depreciation and amortization,  allowance for doubtful accounts
     and vacation accruals.

     As of November 30, 2000 and 1999,  the  deferred  tax asset  related to the
     Company's net operating loss  carryforward  is fully  reserved.  Due to the
     provisions  of Internal  Revenue  Code Section 338, the Company may have no
     net operating loss carryforwards available to offset financial statement or
     tax  return  taxable  income in future  periods  as a result of a change in
     control   involving  50  percentage  points  or  more  of  the  issued  and
     outstanding securities of the Company.

                                                                               7

3.   Income (Loss) per share
     -----------------------

     Basic  earnings  (loss) per share is computed  by  dividing  the net income
     (loss) by the weighted-average  number of shares of common stock and common
     stock  equivalents  (primarily  outstanding  options and warrants).  Common
     stock equivalents  represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of
     the  outstanding  stock  options and  warrants,  using the  treasury  stock
     method.  The calculation of fully diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes
     the dilutive effect of the exercise of outstanding  options and warrants at
     either the  beginning  of the  respective  period  presented or the date of
     issuance,   whichever  is  later.   As  of  November  30,  2000  and  1999,
     respectively,  the Company has no outstanding  stock  warrants,  options or
     convertible  securities  which could be considered as dilutive for purposes
     of the loss per share calculation.

Note C - Common Stock Transactions

On September 29, 1999, the Company sold 4,000,000  shares of common stock to the
Company's  President  pursuant to an  exemption  from  registration  pursuant to
Section 4(2) of The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for $10,000 cash.





                                                                               8

Part I - Item 2

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

(1)  Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This  quarterly   report  contains   certain   forward-looking   statements  and
information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the Company
or management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available
to  the  Company  or  management.   When  used  in  this  document,   the  words
"anticipate,"   "believe,"   "estimate,"   "expect"  and  "intend"  and  similar
expressions,  as they relate to the Company or its  management,  are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of
the  Company   regarding  future  events  and  are  subject  to  certain  risks,
uncertainties  and  assumptions,  including the risks and  uncertainties  noted.
Should  one or more of  these  risks or  uncertainties  materialize,  or  should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect,  actual results may vary materially from
those  described  herein  as  anticipated,   believed,  estimated,  expected  or
intended. In each instance,  forward-looking information should be considered in
light of the accompanying meaningful cautionary statements herein.

(2)  Plan of Operation, Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company  intends  to  continue  its plan of  seeking a  suitable  merger or
acquisition candidate.  In order to do so, it will require additional capital to
pay ongoing expenses,  including particularly legal and accounting fees incurred
in conjunction with preparation and filing of various required  periodic reports
to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In  September  1999,  the Company sold  4,000,000  shares of common stock to the
Company's  President  pursuant to an  exemption  from  registration  pursuant to
Section 4(2) of The Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  for $10,000 cash. These
funds were used to pay various administrative  operating expenses of the Company
through the period ended November 2000.

The Company has engaged in no significant  operations other than  organizational
activities  and  preparation  for  registration  of  its  securities  under  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since August 31, 1989.

For the three months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999,  the Company  incurred an
operating loss as a result of expenses principally  associated with registration
and compliance with reporting  obligations under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, and other  administrative  expenses associated with the maintenance of the
Company's  issued and outstanding  stock records.  The Company  anticipates that
until a business combination is completed with an acquisition candidate, it will
not generate revenues.  The Company may also continue to operate at a loss after
completing  a  business  combination,  depending  upon  the  performance  of the
acquired business.

It  is  the  intent  of  management  and  significant  stockholders  to  provide
sufficient  working  capital to preserve the integrity of the corporate  entity,
however,  there are no commitments to provide additional funds have been made by
management  or other  stockholders,  and the  Company  has no plans,  proposals,
arrangements  or  understandings  with  respect  to  the  sale  or  issuance  of
additional  securities  prior  to  the  location  of  a  merger  or  acquisition
candidate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will
be available to the Company to allow it to cover its  expenses.  Notwithstanding
the forgoing,  to the extent that  additional  funds are  required,  the Company
anticipates  receiving  such  funds in the  form of  advancements  from  current
shareholders  without  issuance of  additional  shares or other  securities,  or
through the private  placement of  restricted  securities  rather than through a
public offering.  The Company does not currently contemplate making a Regulation
S offering.

Regardless of whether the  Company's  cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet
the Company's  operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers
of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.

                                                                               9
