                            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 June 30, 2004 and the related statements of operations for the three
and six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows for the six-months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, included in the accompanying Securities and
Exchange Commission 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2004. 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, 2003, 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 June 30, 2004, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

During the year to date,  the company had  increased  revenue,  but a marginally
increased cash position,  which was insufficient for any significant  operations
expansion at quarter end. The company had cash of $10,571 and illiquid assets of
$17,055 approximately.

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 $78,000,  $47,552 of which is current, $3,044
in cash, minimal other liquid assets, and no capital commitments. The effects of
such conditions could easily be to cause the Company's bankruptcy.

     Management  hopes  to  seek  and  obtain  funding,  via  loans  or  private
placements  of stock  for  operations,  debt  and to  provide  working  capital.
Management  has  plans to seek  capital  in the  form of loans or stock  private
placements.
