 ***Presentation
        of Interim Information:***
  The
        condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
        by American Southwest Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or “Company”) without
        audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
        and
        Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our Annual
        Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
        as filed
        with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Certain information
        and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
        in
        accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
        of
        America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although
        we
        believe the disclosures, which are made are adequate to make the information
        presented not misleading. Further, the consolidated financial statements
        reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments
        necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2005 and
        the
        results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The
        December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from
        audited
        consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
        by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
        America.
 
 Interim
        results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of
        operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily
        indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
 ***Nature
        of Corporation:***
  American
        Southwest Holdings, Inc. (formerly Namibian Copper Mines, Inc.) is a mineral
        development company. It has previously investigated and initially invested
        in
        the Hiab Copper Project. The fund raising for this project was unsuccessful
        and
        all initial investment was lost and written off. Currently, the Company is
        investigating projects in Australia. In accordance with SFAS 7 the Company
        is
        considered an exploration stage company.
 
 The
        Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989, under
        the
        name of Cordon Corporation and subsequently changed its name to Ameriserv
        Financial Corporation (Ameriserv). On April 19, 1994, bankruptcy proceedings
        for
        Ameriserv finalized in the US Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas.
        Under the terms of the bankruptcy, the Company was forced to liquidate all
        of
        its assets. The proceeds were then distributed among the creditors, thereby
        satisfying all of the Company’s outstanding debts. The Company halted operations
        and ceased to do business at the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceedings.
        The
        Company utilized fresh-start accounting in its reorganization effective July
        28,
        1995.
 
 On
        July
        28, 1995 the name was changed to Namibian Copper Mines, Inc. and the Company
        invested in the feasibility study of the Hiab Copper Project Namibia. Funds
        were
        raised through private placement and the Company earned an interest in this
        project. As a result of falling copper prices, the project became marginal
        and
        the Company made the decision to withdraw from the project.
  On
        June
        9, 2000 the name was changed to American Southwest Holdings,
        Inc.

              **Summary
                  of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
                  (continued):**
 
 During
        the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company acquired Metal Sands Limited
        (“MSL”). MSL is a mineral sands development company incorporated in Australia,
        with mineral sands tenements held in South West of Western Australia. MSL
        was
        incorporated in Australia on September 8, 2000, as Rainbow Nominees Pty Ltd.
        MSL
        changed its name to Metal Sands Pty Limited on May 28, 2001, and to Metal
        Sands
        Pty Ltd on May 12, 2002. On June 21, 2002, MSL converted to an Australian
        public
        liability company, Metal Sands Limited. Metal Sands Limited had minimal
        operations from December 15, 2004, the date of acquisition, through December
        31,
        2004.

              **Financial
                  Condition and Ability to Continue as a Going
                  Concern:**
 
 The
        Company has had no revenues from operations since inception and has a deficit
        from expenditures since inception to March 31, 2005 in the amount of
        $13,500,417. The Company has relied to date, and will continue to rely on
        its
        ability to raise equity to fund working capital requirements and fund
        exploration expenditures. Management will continue to control expenditures
        in
        line with its ability to raise equity working capital.
 
 The
        ability of the Company to obtain financing and adequately manage its expenses,
        and thus maintain solvency, is dependent on equity market conditions, the
        ability to find a joint venture partner, the market for precious metals,
        and the
        willingness of other parties to lend the Company money. While the Company
        has
        been successful at certain of these efforts in the past, there can be no
        assurance that current efforts will be successful. These financial statements
        do
        not reflect the outcome of these uncertainties.

 **Quarter
        Ending March 31, 2005**
 **Operations.**
  For
          the
          quarter ending March 31, 2005 the Company experienced a comprehensive loss
          of
          $396,386, which was comprised primarily of its general and administrative
          costs
          of $225,682, exploration expenses of $170,091 and net foreign currency
          loss and
          adjustment of $266. In comparison, during the quarter ending March 31,
          2004 the
          Company's comprehensive loss was $9,465. The increase in the comprehensive
          loss
          in the 2005 quarter primarily resulted from the expenses incurred by the
          Company's operating subsidiary, which was acquired in December 2004. During
          the
          quarter ending March 31, 2004 the Company's operations had been inactive.
          The
          Company expects its general and administrative expenses to continue at
          the same
          level throughout the remainder of 2005. The Company expects its exploration
          expenses to increase throughout the remainder of 2005 as its exploration
          program
          on its properties continues.
  **Liquidity
          and Capital Resources.**
 
 The
          Company raised approximately $137,413 from foreign private placements throughout
          the quarter. The Company will need to continue substantial fund raising
          in 2005
          and 2006, because the Company's planned exploration program for its mining
          properties requires expenditures of approximately $8,000,000 over the next
          5
          years, with approximately $5,500,000 of exploration expenditures planned
          for the
          next two years.
 
 Since
          we
          have not generated any revenue, we have included a reference to our ability
          to
          continue as a going concern with our financial statements for the quarter
          ending
          March 31, 2005. Our accumulated deficit at March 31, 2005 was ($13,500,417).
          All
          exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
  These
            financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which
            assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required
            and that
            our assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary
            course of
            business. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any
            adjustments
            related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets
            and
            liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as
            a going
            concern.
  In
            order
            to continue as a going concern, we require additional financing. There
            can be no
            assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed
            or, if
            available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
            If we are
            not able to continue as a going concern, we would likely be unable to
            realize
            the carrying value of our assets reflected in the balances set out in
            the
            preparation of the financial statements.

  The
          Company currently has no commitment for funding all or a portion of its
          future
          exploration expenses from a third party. There is no assurance the Company
          will
          be able to obtain in the near future all or a portion of its future exploration
          expenses.
 
 In
          the
          future the Company may consider selling some of its properties or joint
          venturing the exploration and mining of some of its properties, if exploration
          capital cannot be readily obtained.
 **Item
                3.**
              **Controls
                  and Procedures**
  Our
        President (Chief Executive Officer) and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer),
        based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures has concluded
        that, as of March 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were
        ineffective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in
        reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
        is
        recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
        in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. More specifically,
        the
        Company identified a material weakness due to a lack of sufficient personnel
        with appropriate knowledge in U.S. GAAP and lack of sufficient analysis and
        documentation of the application of U.S. GAAP to transactions, including
        but not
        limited to equity transactions.  Management plans to identify an
        appropriate service provider to eliminate this material weakness. 
        During
        the quarter ended March 31, 2005, there was no change in our internal control
        over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that
        has
        materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
        control over financial reporting.
