                            ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT

Board of Directors
Mountains West Exploration, Inc.
Trinidad, CO

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet for Mountains West Exploration,
Inc. for September 30, 2003 and the related statements of operations for the
three and nine-months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the
nine-months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, included in the accompanying
Securities and Exchange Commission 10-QSB for the period ended September 30,
2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective
of which is the expression of 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, conditions
exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its
obligations and sustain its operations. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, and
the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein). In our report dated
February 23, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
balance sheet as of September 30, 2003, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2003




Note 1 - Presentation of Interim Information:

In the opinion of the management of Mountains West Exploration, Inc., the
accompanying unaudited financial statements include all normal adjustments
considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September
30, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and six-months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the six-months ended September
30, 2003 and 2002. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
a full year.

The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB,
and do not contain certain information included in the Company's audited
financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Note 2 - Going Concern:

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to develop additional sources of capital or locate a merger candidate
and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties. Management is seeking new capital to revitalize the
Company.

         There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, the Company
may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and
services, the Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives
and technology personnel, the Company's products and services may become
obsolete, government regulation may hinder the Company's business, additional
dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of
more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of warrants and stock
options, and other risks inherent in the Company's businesses.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.
Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents the
Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
filed by the Company in 2004 and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the
Company.

The Company owns over small ownership interests in coal bed methane wells in Las
Animas  county,  Colorado  and has leases on 4,000 acres for coal bed methane in
northern  New Mexico,  none of which are explored or  developed.  The Company is
currently   considering   developing  these  minerals  itself  as  funds  become
available.

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the
Same Period in 2002.

During  the quarter  ended  September  30,  2003,  oil and gas sales  were
$38,926  compared to $6,395 for the same period in the prior year. The Company
had no other operating  income during the quarter.

The company had operating  expenses of $21,742 and $3,245 in the quarter in 2003
and 2002 respectively.  The company incurred  administrative  expenses of $5,627
and  $3,499  in 2003 and  2002  respectively  in the  quarter.  Total  operating
expenses  were $27,396 in the quarter in 2003  compared to $6,744 in the quarter
in 2002.  The net profit was $11,560 in the quarter in 2003 compared to a ($349)
net loss in the quarter in 2002.  The  profit/loss  per share was nominal in the
quarter in 2003 and 2002.

The large  expense  increase  is as a direct  result of  increased  expenses  of
production.  Even though the company had a profitable quarter,  the year to date
totals still reveal a loss on operations,  and investors should view the results
in light of longer term averages.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to
Same Period in 2002.

The company had revenues of $63,675 in the period in 2003 compared to $18,967
in the period in 2002.  The dramatic increase was due to increased production
and higher gas prices from production sales.  The cost of goods sold was $271
and $1,030 in the nine month period in 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The company experienced $77,099 in operating expense in the nine month period in
2003  compared to $9,675 in such  expense in the same period in 2002.  There was
administrative  expense incurred in the period of $11,195 in 2003 and $10,509 in
2002.  The total  operating  expenses  in the  period  were  $88,294 in 2003 and
$20,184 in 2002.  The net loss for the period was  ($24,875) in 2003 compared to
($2,247) in 2002. The increased loss is due primarily to substantially increased
operating  expenses due to expanded revenue  generation.  The loss per share was
nominal in the period in 2003 and 2002.

Changes in Financial Condition

Year to date the Company  experienced an increase in cash position to $10,028 at
quarter end due to increased  revenue of the Company.  The Company's  total debt
increased  by $33,000  during the quarter as a result of expense  accruals.  The
Company's total liabilities are approximately  $74,670.  The company expects the
trend of  losses  (year to date) to  continue  at about the same rate as year to
date.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year to date, the company had increased revenue, and a marginally increased cash
position, which is insufficient for any significant operations.  The company had
cash of $10,028 and illiquid assets of $13,680 approximately at quarter end.

The company's only capital resources are its assets which may be illiquid and
its common stock which might be sold to raise capital.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING

     The Company does not have capital  sufficient  to meet the  Company's  cash
needs,   including  the  costs  of  compliance  with  the  continuing  reporting
requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will have to
seek  loans or equity  placements  to cover  such cash  needs.  Lack of
its  existing  capital  may  be a  sufficient  impediment  to  prevent  it  from
accomplishing  the  goal of  expanding its operations.  There  is no
assurance,  however,  that without funds it will ultimately  allow company to
carry out its business

The  Company  will  need to raise  additional  funds  to  expand  its  business
activities in the next twelve months.

<PAGE>

         No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management
or  other  stockholders.  Accordingly,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  any
additional  funds  will be  available  to the  Company  to allow it to cover its
expenses as they may be incurred.

         Irrespective   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.

GOING CONCERN

     The Company's auditor has issued a "going concern" qualification as part of
his opinion in the Audit Report. There is substantial doubt about the ability of
the  Company to  continue as a "going  concern."  The  Company has no  business,
limited capital, debt in excess of $74,000, $47,199 of which is current, $10,028
in cash, minimal other liquid assets, and no capital commitments. The effects of
such conditions could easily be to cause the Company's bankruptcy.
