ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Ancona Mining Corporation (an exploration stage enterprise) as of March 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2001, and for the period from September 7, 1999 (inception) to March 31, 2001. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Ancona Mining Corporation.
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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements for the period from September 7, 1999 (inception) to June 30, 2000, were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated July 31, 2000. We have not performed auditing procedures for the period ending March 31, 2001.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company recognized a loss of $11,413 for the period ended March 31, 2001, and has current liabilities in excess of current assets of $33,989. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Ancona Mining Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated on September 7, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. The Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2001, included herein, have been prepared for the Company without audit. They reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for these periods. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
ANCONA MINING CORPORATION
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in September 1999 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 minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Valuation
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchanges rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are reflected in the results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and payables approximate their fair value.
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, with a balance of $60 as of March 31, 2001. This account is not insured.
Derivative Instruments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
At March 31, 2001, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
ANCONA MINING CORPORATION
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121 titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. The Company does not believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at March 31, 2001.
Exploration Costs
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company will expense exploration costs as incurred.
Compensated Absences
Currently, the Company has no employees; therefore, no policy regarding compensated absences has been established. The Company will establish a policy to recognize the costs of compensated absences at the point in time that it has employees.
Provision for Taxes
At March 31, 2001, the Company had a net operating loss of approximately $305,000 since its inception in September 1999. No provision for taxes or tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, as there is not a measurable means of assessing future profits or losses.
Basic and Diluted 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.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
ANCONA MINING CORPORATION
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $11,413 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001 and an accumulated deficit of $305,934 since inception, has no sales and negative stockholders' equity. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.
On September 10, 1999, 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to officers and directors only. There was no public offering of any securities. The above referenced shares were issued in payment of consulting services in the amount of $271,536 and repayment of expenses of $687, mining claims of $2,644 and advances of $133. These shares were issued pursuant to exemption from registration contained in Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTIES
The Company occupies office space provided by Mr. Grenfal, its president, in his capacity as vice president and director of Callinan Mines Limited. The value of this space is considered immaterial for the purposes of these financial statements. The shareholders of the Company paid expenses and advanced funds on behalf of the Company, and were repaid by issuance of common stock. See Note 3.
In addition, the Company's president has advanced additional monies in payment of the Company's professional fees. These funds have been recorded as a related party payable, which totaled $24,774 at March 31, 2001.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Mining Industry
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties. At present, there are no feasibility studies establishing proven and probable reserves.
Although the minerals exploration and mining industries are inherently speculative and subject to complex environmental regulations, the Company is unaware of any pending litigation or of any specific past or prospective matters which could impair the value of its mining claims.
Foreign Operations
The accompanying balance sheet includes $3,115 relating to the Company's assets in Canada. Although this country is considered politically and economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company's operations.
Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission
The Company is presently undertaking the required steps to register as a publicly traded company. In this regard, the Company has signed a contract with a securities attorney to assist in this matter. The total fees to be paid to the attorney amount to $20,000. Of this amount, $10,000 has been paid and is recorded as an expense. The remaining $10,000 will be due when the Company's registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception on September 7, 1999, the Company has been engaged in exploration and acquisition of mineral properties. The Company's principal capital resources have been acquired through issuance of common stock and from shareholder loans.
At March 31, 2001, there was negative working capital of $33,989 compared to deficit working capital of $(22,577) at June 30, 2000. This change is primarily the result of increasing Company's expenses.
At March 31, 2001, the Company's total assets of $3,115 consists of mainly mining claims, which remains unchanged for this reporting period.
At March 31, 2001, the Company's total liabilities increased to $34,049 from $22,634 at June 30, 2000, primarily reflecting a build-up of accounts payable of $4,437 related party payables of $6,978.
The Company has not had revenues from inception. Although there is insufficient capital to fully explore and develop its mineral properties, the Company expects to survive and exploit its resources primarily with funding from sales of its securities and, as necessary, from shareholder loans.
The Company has no long-term debt and does not regard long-term borrowing as a good, prospective source of financing.
Results of Operations
The Company posted losses of $3,112 and $11,413 for the three months and nine months ending March 31, 2001, respectively. The principal component of each loss was professional expenses.
Operating expenses for the nine months ending March 31, 2001 were $11,413, down almost $283,109 from the short year ending June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of decreased executive compensation expenses, which were $271,536 in the year ended June 30, 2000 and $0 thereafter.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
Dated this 8th day of May, 2001.
