NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
(UNAUDITED)
(STATED IN U.S. DOLLARS)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2003
included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that
these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the June 30,
2003 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
2. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Custom Branded Networks, Inc. (the "Company") was previously engaged in the
business of providing turnkey private label internet services to organizations
throughout the domestic United States and Canada. During the year ended June
30, 2003, the Company became an exploration staged company engaged in the
acquisition and exploration of mining claims. Upon location of a commercial
minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its
extraction and enter a development stage.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a
net loss of $1,378,659 for the period from April 12, 2002 (inception) to
September 30, 2003, and has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent
upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from
the development of its mineral claims. 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 of and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the
significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Custom Branded Networks, Inc. (a Nevada corporation).
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of 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 management's best
estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.
c) Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized at the following rates:
Office equipment - 20% declining balance basis
Computer equipment - 3 years straight line basis
d) Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). This standard requires the use of an
asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income
taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion of all of a deferred tax
asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e) Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Costs
The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and
exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior
to establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not
established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore,
all costs are being expensed.
f) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable.
Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that this Company is not
exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
g) Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation cost for stock based compensation using the
intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed by A.P.B. Opinion No. 25 -
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". The Company has adopted those
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 - "Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation", which require disclosure of the pro-forma effect
on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been
recognized based upon the estimated fair value at the date of grant for options
awarded.
h) Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 -
"Earnings Per Share". Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic loss per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding
during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common and potentially dilative common stock outstanding
during the period. As the Company generated net losses in each of the periods
presented, the basic and diluted net loss per share is the same as any exercise
of options or warrants would anti-dilutive.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
The Company reviews long-lived assets and including identifiable intangibles for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of
the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.
j) New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No. 141 - "Business Combinations". The Statement requires that all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The Company believes that the adoption of FASB No. 141
will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 - "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". The Statement will require discontinuing the amortization of goodwill
and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Instead, these assets
will be tested periodically for impairment and written down to their fair market
value as necessary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Company believes that the adoption of FASB No. 142
will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 - "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. FASB No. 144 addresses accounting and reporting of
long-lived assets, except goodwill, that are either held and used or disposed of
through sale or other means. The Company believes that the adoption of FASB No.
144 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

5. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 31, 2002, the Company executed $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of convertible notes due not earlier than January 31, 2009. The Company has
received $883,146 in advances through to September 30, 2003. The notes bear no
interest until the maturity date, and interest at 5% per annum on any remaining
principal balance after the maturity date. The notes are convertible, at the
option of the holder, at any time on or prior to maturity into shares of the
Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share, and each
converted share includes a warrant to purchase an additional common stock share
at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The warrants expire three years from
the grant day.
Because the market interest rate on similar types of notes was approximately 14%
per annum the day the notes were issued, the Company has recorded a discount of
$576,078 related to the beneficial conversion feature. The discount will be
amortized as interest expense over the life of the convertible notes, or sooner
upon conversion. During the period, the Company recorded interest expense of
$13,581 (2002 - $11,298).
6. MINERAL PROPERTIES
On February 5, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100%
interest in mineral properties located in outer Mongolia by making a cash
payment of $50,000 (paid) and issuing 5,000,000 common shares.
F-11
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Plan of Operations:
- ---------------------
At September 30, 2003, the Company had cash of $894. Expenses for the fiscal
quarter covered by this report totalled $27,240.00 giving the Company a net loss
for the quarter of $27,240.00 since the Company has no operating revenues at the
present time. To sustain the business operations of the Company, the Company
must obtain additional capital. The Company's current plans are to borrow money
as needed to sustain current operations. Since inception, the Company has
executed $1,000,000 in the aggregate principal amount of convertible notes. The
Company has received $883,146 in advances against the notes through September
30, 2003. The Company hopes to obtain additional advances against the notes in
order to sustain the business operations of the Company. However, the holder of
the notes is not obligated to fund the notes further and may not be willing to
do so, in which event the Company will need to obtain funding from some other
source.
The business plan of the Company for the past thirty months has been to provide
certain Internet solutions to businesses and private organizations. However, on
May 9, 2003, the Company acquired the rights to six mineral titles within the
Turquoise Hill area of the South Gobi Region of Mongolia. The Company paid
$50,000 toward the acquisition of the mineral titles and issued 5,000,000 shares
of common stock of the Company to complete the transaction. The shares will be
delivered at such time as legal title to the mineral titles is delivered.
Therefore, the Company is waiting for the vendor to make necessary legal
arrangements to be able to transfer title to the properties before delivering
the common shares.
It is the intention of management to commence geological and geophysical testing
immediately upon receipt of legal title to the mineral properties, with primary
focus on pursuing and identifying any mineral occurrences within the project
areas. As these possibilities develop, it is likely that the Company will
abandon its Internet solutions business plan and focus on the acquisition and
development of mineral interests during the next 12 months and beyond.
Forward-Looking Statements:
