Relay Mines Limited
(An Exploration Stage Company)
(expressed in U.S. dollars)

1.       Exploration Stage Company

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 2, 2001. In February 2001, the Company acquired six mineral claims, situated in the Mugwump property, Relay Creek Valley in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

The Company's principal business plan is to acquire, explore and develop mineral properties and to ultimately seek earnings by exploiting the mineral claims.

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in February 2001 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial mineable reserve, the Company will actively prepare the site for extraction and enter a development stage. At present, management devotes most of its activities to raise sufficient funds to further explore and develop mineral properties. Planned principal activities have not yet begun. The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete any of the above objectives. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

At September 30, 2002, the Company had working capital of $1,946. A minimum of $4,000 per quarter is needed to cover expenses. Thus in the next year the Company will require $16,000 to cover both new expenses and preserve working capital. This amount would operate the Company but leave little or nothing for exploration. The Company expects to fund itself in the next twelve months by sales of shares, or loans from shareholders or Directors.

The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission which has been declared effective.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

a)       Year End

The Company's year end is June 30.

b)       Basis of Accounting

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are presented in US dollars.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)

c)       Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

d)       Long-Lived Assets

SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale including discontinued operations. SFAS 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.

e)       Foreign Currency Transactions/Balances

The Company's functional currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions occur in Canadian currency, and management has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses are included in income for the years, except gains or losses relating to long-term debt, which are deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the debt. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.

f)       Exploration Costs

The Company is in the exploration stage and all costs relating to mineral property grassroots exploration are charged to operations as incurred.

g)       Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)

h)       Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

i)       Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and due to related party approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

j)       Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains its cash accounts in primarily one commercial bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company's cash account is a business checking account maintained in U.S. dollars, which totalled $14,020 on September 30, 2002. This account is not insured.

k)       Provision for Taxes

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

At September 30, 2002, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $27,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at September 30, 2002.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)

k)       Provision for Taxes (continued)

At September 30, 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $80,000, which expire in the year 2021 and 2022. The Company recognized approximately $273,000 of losses for the issuance of common stock for services in 2001, which were not deductible for tax purposes and are not included in the above calculation of deferred tax assets.

l)       Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. FASB No. 4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related tax effect was rescinded, as a result, FASB 64, which amended FASB 4, was rescinded as it was no longer necessary. FASB 145 amended FASB 13 to require lease modifications in certain sale-leaseback transactions. Management has not yet determined the effects of adopting this Statement on the financial position or results of operations.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144). SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This new standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. Statement 144 requires that these long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS 144 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)

l)       Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS No. 143). SFAS No. 143 establishes guidelines related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets of the Company and the associated retirement costs. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 provides for the elimination of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations with an acquisition date of July 1, 2001 or later. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires periodic reassessment of the underlying value of such assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. An early adoption provision exists for companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities and also provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS No. 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000, and is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

3.       Mineral Properties

In February 2001, the Company, through an unrelated third party, acquired 100% of the rights, title and interest in six mining claims in the Mugwump property, Relay Creek Valley, British Columbia, Canada. Although the claims are recorded in a third party's name for tax purposes, title to the claims has been conveyed to the Company via an unrecorded deed. The Company has assigned no value to these claims, as there is no evidence showing proven and probable reserves.

PART II.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Plan of Operation

In the next twelve months, the Company does not expect any significant changes in the number of employees and does not expect the purchase or sale of plant or significant equipment. We also have no plan for research and development for any property or product other than our mineral claims. See below for development information on the Mugwump claims.

The Company is completing its initial public pursuant to its SB2 registration and is adequately financed to survive the next twelve months and move its exploration program forward.

Our Proposed Exploration Program

We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.

Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and evaluate our properties.

We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of our properties.

We intend to implement an exploration program and intend to proceed in the following three phases all of which will be performed by independent contractors hired by us. We will not hire anyone to start exploration until we receive funds from this offering to start exploring for precious minerals. We believe that the only equipment we will need to start exploration on the property will be a backhoe. We will lease the backhoe from and equipment rental or hire an independent contractor who owns a backhoe to the dig the trenches we refer to in this prospectus. We expect to have to pay $30,000 for a backhoe or $25.00 an hour for an independent contractor who owns his own backhoe.

The only equipment we will need is a backhoe to dig trenches. It is not possible to allocate specific dollar amounts to specific acts because we do not know what we will encounter during our trenching. As trenches are dug and we evaluate the results, we will determine if mineralized material exists. Mineralized material is a mineralized body that has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals. If mineralized material is found, we will then determined if it is profitable to extract the precious minerals.

Phase 1 will begin with research of the available geologic literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the prospect sites. We have not begun exploration on our property.

 

- 11 -


When the research is completed, our initial work will be augmented with geologic mapping, geophysical testing and geochemical testing of our claims. When available, existing workings, like trenches, prospect pits, shafts or tunnels will be examined. If an apparent mineralized zone is identified and narrowed down to a specific area by the studies, we will to begin trenching the area. Trenches are generally approximately 150 ft. in length and 10-20 ft. wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the surface of the vein structure types generally encountered in the area. They also allow easier restoration of the land to its pre-exploration condition when we conclude our operations. Once excavation of a trench is completed, samples are taken and then analyzed for economically potential minerals that are known to have occurred in the area. Careful interpretation of this available data collected from the various tests aid in determining whether or not the prospect has current economic potential and whether further exploration is warranted.

Phase 1 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.

Phase 2 involves an initial examination of the underground characteristics of the vein structure that was identified by Phase 1 of exploration. Phase 2 is aimed at identifying any mineral deposits of potential economic importance. The methods employed are

 

*

more extensive trenching

 

*

more advanced geophysical work

 

*

drift driving

Drift driving is the process of constructing a tunnel to take samples of minerals for testing. Later, the tunnel can be used for mining minerals. The geophysical work gives a general understanding of the location and extent of mineralization at depths that are unreachable by surface excavations and provides a target for more extensive trenching and core drilling. Trenching identifies the continuity and extent of mineralization, if any, below the surface. After a thorough analysis of the data collected in Phase 2, we will decide if the property warrants a Phase 3 study.

Phase 2 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.

Phase 3 is aimed at precisely defining the depth, the width, the length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any mineral body. This is accomplished through extensive drift driving. Phase 3 will take about 6 months and cost up to $90,000.

We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.

Status of Our Exploration Program

We are currently in Phase 1 of our proposed exploration program.

The program, consisting of soil and rock sampling as well as geological mapping, was completed between July 3 and July 7, 2002. The program was designed to follow-up previous explorers' results that discovered mineralization (mercury, antimony and gold) that is indicative of a gold bearing shallow (epithermal) hydrothermal style system.

 

- 12 -


Geological mapping at a scale of 1:2,500 was completed over the entire property. A total of 57 soil samples, taken at either 25m (82 ft) or 50m (160 ft) intervals along portions of the 8,500m (5.3 miles) of flagged control grid. 21 rock samples were also collected. All soil and rock samples were analyzed using gold analysis and 30-element ICP at Assayers Canada (Min-En) Laboratory in Vancouver.

Geological mapping confirmed that the property is underlain by three geological units. The Bridge River Complex, a sequence of rocks consisting of dark gray/brown basalt +/- limestone-chert, argillite, chert, tuffaceous sediments (medium grained white/beige quartz porphyry and quartz rose sandstones) occurs on the western edge of the property. An ultramafic unit of green-brown serpentinite occurs between Relay Creek and the eastern edge of the property. Both units have been highly folded. A unit of quartz pebble conglomerate (multiple colors - fine matrix 0.3-0.5cm dia. with local pyrite and Iron staining) has been emplaced over, and subsequently scowered away by glaciation, the two aforementioned units. This has created a horizontal banding of alternating quartz pebble conglomerate and the respective underlying unit. Within the central area of the property, oriented at 328o, is a less interrupted mass of the quartz pebble conglomerate unit. Dykes and dyke-like intrusions of dark purplish andesite intrude the western areas of the property. There is a major fault running along (parallel to) the Relay Creek valley at 328o.

Only two of the soil samples returned greater than 8ppb Au. Both samples (68ppb and 92 ppb Au) were collected from soil overlaying the central body of quartz pebble conglomerate. None of the other elements were anomalous in other economic elements. The two most anomalous rock samples (MW 037 & 040) returned values of 10ppb Au each.

Management is evaluating the results of this program to decide the best choices for further exploration of the property.

Other than the foregoing, we have not conducted any exploration on our property.

On February 14, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our form SB-2 Registration Statement effective (SEC file no. 333-59872), permitting us to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share.

Since the commencement on February 14, 2002 of the offering shares, we have sold 715,114 shares for net proceeds of $71,511.
