(formerly Nucotec, Inc.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION Tornado Gold International Corp (formerly Nucotec, Inc.) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 8, 2001. On July 7, 2004, the name of the company was officially changed to Tornado Gold International Corp. (the "Company"). Prior to the plan of reorganization (see Note 2 below) on March 19, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary, Salty's Warehouse, Inc. sold various home and automobile electronic equipment, computer accessories and supplies. The Company is currently investing in mining properties for future development and production (See Note 3). NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Interim Financial Statements The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the "Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results of the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The operating results of the Company on a semi-annual and quarterly basis may not be indicative of the Company's operating results for the entire year Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has no established source of material revenue, has incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from continuing operations of $126,004, and at June 30, 2004 had a negative working capital of $804,417 and had a stockholders' deficit of $723,722. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence: o The Company plans to raise additional operating funds through equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to arrange for financing and has not, to date, had any substantive discussions with any third parties regarding such financing. 6 o In March 2004, the Company borrowed $650,000 from an unrelated third party, which was used to redeem the shares of the Company's former management. This loan matures on July 5, 2004 when the full principal and accrued interest becomes due. Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the due date was extended to January 5, 2005. o In April 2004, the Company borrowed $225,000 from an unrelated third party to use as working capital. This loan and accrued interest are due upon demand. Plan of Reorganization On March 19, 2004, Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson, and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed to redeem 255,510,000 (5,110,200 pre-split) of their shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for all of the Company's shares of Salty's Warehouse, Inc. (the "Transfer"). Earl T. Shannon, Steven W. Hudson, and Scott W. Bodenweber agreed to redeem 45,890,000 (917,800 pre-split) of their shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $570,000 (the "Sale"). The $570,000 was paid on March 19, 2004. As a condition to these transactions, Messrs. Shannon, Hudson, and Bodenweber have resigned as officers of the Company. Earl W. Abbott has been appointed President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company. In addition, Mr. Abbott, Carl A. Pescio and Stanley B. Keith have collectively purchased 4,200,000 shares (84,000 pre-split shares) of common stock from the Company for $10,000. Mr. Abbott, Mr. Pescio and Mr. Keith replaced Messrs. Shannon, Hudson and Bodenweber on the Board of Directors of the Company. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Pursuant to SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets as of June 30, 2004. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their face value. Stock Split On April 19, 2004, the Company authorized a 50:1 stock split. The accompanying financial statements have been retroactively restated to present the effect of this stock split. 7 Stock Options SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes and encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. The statement also permits companies to elect to continue using the current intrinsic value accounting method specified in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to account for stock-based compensation. The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value based method and has disclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method to account for its stock-based compensation. The Company uses the fair value method for options granted to non-employees. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the Stock Option Plan consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would be reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003: 2004 2003 -------------- --------------- Net loss As reported $ (125,133) $ (54,014) Compensation recognized under APB 25 - - Compensation recognized under SFAS 123 - (425,000) -------------- --------------- Pro forma $ (125,133) $ (479,014) ============== =============== Basic and diluted loss per common share As reported $ (0.00) $ (0.00) Pro forma $ (0.00) $ (0.00) The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2003: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 50%; and a weighted average expected life of the option of 10 years. This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of fair value of its employee stock options. In March 2004, the Company issued 3,000,000 (60,000 pre-split) options to former employees of the Company. The fair value for these options was estimated to be $4,540 and has been recorded as an expense in the accompanying statement of operations. The fair value was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 50%; and a weighted average expected life of the option of 10 years, respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC's Revenue Recognition in Financial 8 Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers ("the FAQ") issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 did not impact the financial statements. Loss Per Share The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of options and warrants to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The only potential common shares as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 were 3,000,000 (60,000 pre-split) and 125,000,000 (2,500,000 pre-split), respectively, stock options which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS a) As discussed in Note 3, the Company entered into agreements with a company owned by Mr. Carl Pescio, a Director of the Company, to acquire mining claims. b) During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred consulting fees for services rendered by Mr. Earl Abbott, the Company's President totaling $11,768 of which $4,708 related to mining exploration and the remaining $7,060 related to was charged to general administrative activities. c) Also during the same quarter, the Company incurred consulting fees for services rendered by a company wholly owned by Mr. Stanley Keith, a Director of the Company, totaling $3,325 of which $2,450 related to mining exploration and the remaining $875 related to was charged to general administrative activities. NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 7, 2004, the Company changed it name to Tornado Gold International Corp. 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may", "shall", "could", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "predict", "probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES. Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, carrying amount of mining claims, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily the recoverability of the amount reported for mining claims. OVERVIEW We were incorporated in Nevada on October 8, 2001 in order to serve as a holding company for Salty's Warehouse, Inc. On March 19, 2004, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Acquisition, we acquired 255,510,000 (5,110,200 pre-split) shares of our common stock from Earl T. Shannon and Steven W. Hudson in exchange for 80 shares of common stock of Salty's Warehouse, Inc. As a result of this transaction, we no longer own Salty's Warehouse, Inc. We have returned the 255,510,000 (5,110,200 pre-split) shares of our common stock. 14 We are undertaking a different business focus under our new management, which is the identification, acquisition and resale of properties exhibiting the potential for gold mining operations by others. As of May 31, 2004, we entered into agreements to acquire interests in certain mining properties in Nevada from Pescio Exploration, which is owned by Carl Pescio, one of our directors. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $87,957 as of June 30, 2004 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $9,567 as of that date, making our total current assets $97,524. We also had mining assets of $81,283, making our total assets were $178,807 as of June 30, 2004. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to pay our day-to-day expenditures. However, our officers and directors have committed to pay our day-to-day expenses so that we are able to continue operations until we are able to obtain additional funding through other sources at levels to implement our business plan. As of June 30, 2004, we had current liabilities of $901,941 which were represented by $7,116 in accounts payable, and $894,825 in notes payable. We had commitments as of June 30, 2004 to make payments on our mining claims as described in Note 3 of our financial statements. On April 30, 2003, we borrowed a total of $25,000 from Earl T. Shannon and Steven W. Hudson ($12,500 from each), pursuant to promissory notes requiring us to repay the principal and interest accrued at the rate of 10% on April 30, 2004. On August 8, 2003, we borrowed a total of $30,000 from Earl T. Shannon and Steven W. Hudson ($15,000 from each), pursuant to promissory notes requiring us to repay the principal and interest accrued at the rate of 10% on August 8, 2004. On November 12, 2003, we borrowed $7,500 from Earl T. Shannon, one of our officers and directors at the time, pursuant to a promissory note requiring us to repay the principal and interest accrued at the rate of 10% on November 12, 2004. On December 1, 2003, we borrowed $7,500 from Steven W. Hudson, one of our officers and directors at the time, pursuant to a promissory note requiring us to repay the principal and interest accrued at the rate of 10% on December 1, 2004. All of these notes and accrued interest were settled on March 19, 2004 for $42,500. The gain on the settlement of these notes and accrued interest of $49,309 has been recorded directly to stockholders' deficit. As of June 30, 2004 we had a net working capital deficit of $804,417 as compared to $88,158 as of December 31, 2003. In March 2004, we borrowed $650,000 from an unrelated third party pursuant to a promissory note due July 5, 2004 that bears interest at 8% per annum. Subsequently, the due date was extended to January 5, 2005. In addition, on April 27, 2004 we borrowed an additional $225,000 from the same unrelated third party pursuant to a promissory note, which bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due upon demand. On March 19, 2004, we made a payment of $42,500 to certain note holders, who were our former officers, and they agreed to forgive the remaining aggregate sum of $42,500, plus accrued interest that was due to them. Also in March 2004, we redeemed 45,890,000 (917,800 pre-split) of the shares owned by our outgoing management in exchange for $570,000. Net cash used for operating activities was $104,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $25,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, we have cash of $87,957 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $9,567. Since we have no current source of revenue, our only source of cash is from the sale of debt or equity instruments. 15 Due to numerous economic and competitive risks, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon our operations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully generate significant revenues or achieve a level of profits which will permit us to stay in business. In March 2004, we had a change of management under which we are undertaking a different business focus, which is the identification and acquisition of potential gold mining properties for resale to others. However, due to the change in our business plan, we plan to raise additional capital which we hope will be sufficient to fund all or our general and administrative expenses for the next twelve months. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 NET REVENUE - We have realized no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004. We will be unable to generate revenues until we obtain the necessary financing to develop these mining claims for possible production or resale and to acquire other producing properties. EXPENSES - For the three months ended June 30, 2004, our total operating expenses were $63,309 of which $9,988 were specifically related to mining exploration, and $16,121 in interest expense, making our net loss for the three month period ending June 30, 2004 a total of $79,430. This is in comparison to our operating expenses of $24,145 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, income from operations of discontinued operations of $424, making our net loss $23,721. Our expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 are higher than those for the same period ended in 2003, which is due to the transition to our new business plan. In March 2004, we underwent a change of management; our prior management received our former operating subsidiary, and our new management is in the process of acquiring interests in properties exhibiting the potential for mining operations as part of our new business plan, which accounts for the changes in our operating expenses. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but hope to generate income as we acquire property interests, perform our geological analyses and transfer those property interests to others. 16 Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 NET REVENUE - We have realized no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004. We will be unable to generate revenues until we begin our contemplated operations which the identification, acquisition and resale of properties exhibiting the potential for gold mining operations by others. EXPENSES - For the six months ended June 30, 2004, our total operating expenses were $104,339, of which $9,988 were specifically related to mining exploration, and $21,665 in interest expense, and $871 in income from operations of discontinued operations, making our net loss for the six month period ending June 30, 2004 a total of $125,133. This is in comparison to our operating expenses of $48,872 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, loss from operations of discontinued operations of $5,142, making our net loss $54,014. Our losses and expenses in for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are higher than those for the same period ended in 2003, which is due to the transition to our new business plan as described herein. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses, but hope to generate income as we acquire property interests, perform our geological analyses and transfer those property interests to others. Mining Claims. The properties we hold claims to are described below: 17 NTGREEN GOLD PROPERTY The NTGreen gold property is located in central Lander County, Nevada about 30 miles southwest of the town of Battle Mountain. The property is connected with Battle Mountain via an interstate highway, paved roads, good gravel roads, and finally a system of unimproved, dirt roads. We hold a total of 12 unpatented lode mining claims in the form of an option agreement with the claimant, Carl Pescio, one of our directors. All of the claims are recorded with the Lander County Recorder and filed with the Bureau of Land Management. We must make annual rental payments of $140 per claim to the BLM and Lander County before September 1 of each year to keep the claims current. We must also make escalating advance royalty payments to Mr. Pescio to maintain the option agreement, beginning with $22,500 on or before February 5, 2005 and rising to $100,000 by February 5, 2011. We must perform a work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling by September 1, 2006 followed by an annual work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling until the completion of a bankable feasibility. Excess footage may be carried over from year to year and an option to pay $10 per foot not drilled may be exercised. The property is subject to a 4% net smelter royalty that may be bought down to a 2% net smelter royalty by the payment of $1,500,000 per one percent. Upper Paleozoic sedimentary rocks are exposed in an erosional window beneath Tertiary volcanic rocks. The Paleozoic rocks exhibit the characteristics of gold-bearing rocks in the nearby Cortez mining district where Placer Dome Mining Company is mining several large gold ore deposits between 4 and 8 miles from the NTGreen property. One of Placer Dome's major mines, the Pipeline Mine, is traversed by a fault structure that continues onto the NTGreen property. Placer Dome reported the area that includes the NTGreen property and their own active mines and exploration properties contains a "gold endowment of at least 34 million ounces". Placer Dome is a former operator of the NTGreen property, but no data from their exploration work is in our hands. Low levels of gold as well as associated trace elements are documented from the property by limited surface sampling done by Mr. Pescio. The NTGreen property is undeveloped and no reserves or resources are known. No mining or other mineral development is known to have been performed on the property. Carl Pescio did only limited work on the property and no work has been done by us. Indications are that an extensive gold system is present on the property that may have significant economic potential. We plan to conduct exploration work in the form of geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies to develop drill targets. Drilling will investigate these targets. Discovery of potentially economic gold values we believe will be followed by development of a reserve and, eventually, mining. GOODWIN HILL GOLD PROPERTY The Goodwin Hill gold property is located in east central Lander County, Nevada about 60 miles south of the town of Battle Mountain and about 20 miles northeast of the town of Austin. A good gravel county road, connecting to Battle Mountain and Austin, traverses the property. We hold a total of 92 unpatented lode mining claims in the form of an option agreement with the claimant, Carl Pescio. All of the claims are recorded with the Lander County Recorder and filed with the Bureau of Land Management. We must make annual rental payments of $140 per claim to the BLM and Lander County before September 1 of each year to keep the claims current. We must also make escalating advance royalty payments to Mr. Pescio to maintain the option agreement, beginning with $22,500 on or before February 5, 2005 and rising to $100,000 by February 5, 2011. We must perform a work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling by September 1, 2006 followed by an annual work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling until the completion of a bankable feasibility. Excess footage may be carried over from year to year and an option to pay $10 per foot not drilled may be exercised. The property is subject to a 4% net smelter royalty that may be bought down to a 2% NSR net smelter royalty by the payment of $1,500,000 per one percent. The property is centered on a small hill of Paleozoic limestone surrounded by alluvium recent gravels that obscure the basement rocks. Geophysical studies by Kennecott Mining Company, the former operator, have reportedly indicated that the basement rocks are at a shallow depth beneath the gravels in some areas on the property. The limestone outcrop is along the northeast projection of a dome-like feature that exposes Paleozoic rocks of the lower plate of the Roberts Mountains Thrust Fault. These rocks are known to be the host rocks for very large gold deposits 25 to 45 miles to northeast in the Carlin and Cortez mining districts. Igneous rocks that are believed to by the source of gold intrude an altered siltstone that is exposed just to the south of the property. Work by the previous operator, Kennecott has reportedly encountered low level gold and elevated levels of arsenic and other trace elements known to be associated with gold. Shallow drilling in the gravels over the geophysically determined shallow basement rocks reportedly encountered low level gold and associated elements in the basement rocks. 18 The property is undeveloped and no reserves or resources are known. No mining or other mineral development is known to have been performed on the property. No exploration work has been done to date by the Carl Pescio or by Tornado Gold International. However, an extensive gold system is reportedly indicated by the work of Kennecott that may have significant economic potential. We plan to conduct exploration work in the form of geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies are planned to develop drill targets. Drilling will investigate these targets. If we discover potentially economic gold values we believe the property will be ready for development of a reserve and, eventually, mining. WILSON PEAK GOLD PROPERTY The Wilson Peak property is located in Elko County, Nevada about 70 miles north of the town of Elko and about 20 miles north of the town of Tuscarora. Paved highways connect to a good gravel county road that traverses the property. We hold a total of 61 unpatented lode mining claims in the form of an option agreement with the claimant, Carl Pescio, one of our directors. All of the claims are recorded with the Lander County Recorder and filed with the Bureau of Land Management. We must make annual rental payments of $140 per claim to the BLM and Lander County before September 1 of each year to keep the claims current. We must also make escalating advance royalty payments to Mr. Pescio to maintain the option agreement, beginning with $22,500 on or before February 5, 2005 and rising to $100,000 by February 5, 2011. We must perform a work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling by September 1, 2006 followed by an annual work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling until the completion of a bankable feasibility. Excess footage may be carried over from year to year and an option to pay $10 per foot not drilled may be exercised. The property is subject to a 4% net smelter royalty that may be bought down to a 2% net smelter royalty by the payment of $1,500,000 per one percent. The property is on the west flank of the Bull Run Mountains and covers an area of Tertiary volcanic rocks containing elevated gold values extending for a length of at least 2 miles. This area has been investigated by previous operators, including Newmont Mining Company, Teck Resources, Euro-Nevada Mining Corporation, and Freeport-McMoRan Gold Company. These previous operators performed surface sampling and drilling. In addition to elevated gold values, associated trace elements such as arsenic and mercury are present in elevated amounts. The Wilson Peak property is undeveloped and no reserves or resources are known. No mining or other mineral development is known to have been performed on the property. Carl Pescio did no work on the property and no work has been done by us. Indications are that an extensive gold system is present on the property that may have significant economic potential. We plan to conduct exploration work in the form of geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies to develop drill targets. Drilling will investigate these target. If we discover potentially economic gold values on the property, we believe the property will then be ready for the development of a reserve and, eventually, mining. HMD GOLD PROPERTY The HMD gold property is located in Eureka County, Nevada, about 30 miles southwest of the town of Carlin. An interstate highway, paved roads and good gravel roads connect the property with Carlin. We hold a total of 32 unpatented lode mining claims in the form of an option agreement with the claimant, Carl Pescio, one of our directors. All of the claims are recorded with the Lander County Recorder and filed with the Bureau of Land Management. We must make annual rental payments of $140 per claim to the BLM and Lander County before September 1 of each year to keep the claims current. We must also make escalating advance royalty payments to Mr. Pescio to maintain the option agreement, beginning with $22,500 on or before February 5, 2005 and rising to $100,000 by February 5, 2011. We must perform a work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling by September 1, 2006 followed by an annual work commitment of 5,000 feet of drilling until the completion of a bankable feasibility. Excess footage may be carried over from year to year and an option to pay $10 per foot not drilled may be exercised. The property is subject to a 4% net smelter royalty that may be bought down to a 2% net smelter royalty by the payment of $1,500,000 per one percent. 19 The HMD property is within a geologic feature called the Northern Nevada Rift, that also contains such active projects as the operating Ken Snyder Mine at Midas and the Ivanhoe Project being developed by Hecla Mining Company. Recently mined deposits along the Northern Nevada Rift include the Mule Canyon Mine, about 1 million ounces of gold pre-mining resource, 20 miles to the northwest and the Buckhorn Mine, about 500,000 ounces of gold pre-mining resource, 10 miles to the southeast. Near the range front of the Cortez Range, the property covers a distinct vein of quartz along a fault structure. The structure can be followed for a length of at least one mile and is probably more extensive under gravel cover. The vein is more than 50 feet thick in places along the structure. Shallow drilling by previous operators, including Homestake Mining Company, reportedly encountered significant intervals of subeconomic gold and surface samples reportedly contain as much as 0.1 ounces gold per ton. The property is undeveloped and no reserves or resources are known. No mining or other mineral development is known to have been performed on the property. No exploration work has been done to date by Carl Pescio or by Tornado Gold International. However, an extensive gold system is reportedly indicated by the work done by Homestake that may have significant economic potential. We plan to conduct exploration work in the form of geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies to develop drill targets. Drilling will investigate these targets. We hope to discover potentially economic gold values, which we believe will be followed by development of a reserve and, eventually, mining. OUR PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS As a result of the disposition of Salty's on March 19, 2004, we have no ongoing revenue-generating operations. We are now undertaking a different business focus under our new management, which is the identification and acquisition of properties exhibiting the potential for gold mining operations by others. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we have acquired $81,283 in mining assets. On March 5, 2004 we borrowed $650,000 from an unrelated third party due on July 5, 2004 at an annual interest rate of 8%. Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the due date of this $650,000 note has been extended to January 5, 2005. On April 27, 2004, we borrowed $225,000 from the same unrelated third party due and payable on demand; this note also accrues interest at an annual rate of 8%. We have cash of $87,957 as of June 30, 2004. We believe we do not have adequate funds to satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. We may need to raise additional capital to expand our operations. In the event that we experience a shortfall in our capital, we intend to pursue capital through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources, such as our officers and directors. We cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then our ability to expand our operations may be significantly hindered. If adequate funds are not available, we believe that our officers and directors will contribute funds to pay for our expenses to achieve our objectives over the next twelve months. Our belief that our officers and directors will pay our expenses is based on the fact they own approximately 70% of our outstanding common stock. We believe that our officers and directors will continue to pay our expenses as long as they maintain their ownership of our common stock. Therefore, we have not contemplated any plan of liquidation in the event that we do not generate revenues. We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than investigating properties to acquire. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. In the event that we expand our customer base, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment. 20 OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than investigating properties to acquire. In the event that we expand our operations, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease equipment. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES On April 13, 2004, our Board of Directors approved a 50 for 1 stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock which was effectuated through a dividend of 49 shares for each share of common stock outstanding as of the record date. Our intent of the stock split is to increase the marketability and liquidity of our common stock and hopefully increase the value of our common stock. The dividend was payable on April 27, 2004 for shareholders of record on April 26, 2004. After the split, the total number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock was 6,600,000 shares. Our common stock will continue to be $0.001 par value. Fractional shares were rounded upward. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None 21 ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On May 12, 2004, shareholders holding a majority of our outstanding common stock approved by written consent in lieu of a meeting on May 12, 2004, our change in name from Nucotec, Inc. to Tornado Gold International Corp., in accordance with the relevant sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes. The name change became effective on July 7, 2004 with the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. Our purpose in changing our name was to reflect a change in our business focus. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION None during the reporting period covered by this report. However, on July 13, 2004, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that on July 7, 2004, we changed our name from Nucotec, Inc. to Tornado Gold International Corp., as described above. On July 23, 2004, we filed a preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C regarding our upcoming increase in authorized common stock from ten million (10,000,000) shares to one hundred million (10,000,000) shares. The increase in authorized common stock was approved on July 20, 2004, by unanimous approval of our Board of Directors. In addition, our officers and directors who hold a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock, approved the increase in authorized common stock by written consent in lieu of a meeting on July 20, 2004, in accordance with the relevant sections of Nevada Revised Statutes. The increase in authorized common stock will not be effective until we amend our Articles of Incorporation by filing a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. We intend to file the Certificate of Amendment twenty days after a definitive Information Statement is first mailed to our shareholders. We hope that such a change will increase the total value of the corporation to our investors and better position us to take advantage possible future financings and acquisition opportunities, and other corporate purposes as the board of directors determines in its discretion to be in the best interest of the corporation, and which may include future stock splits, stock dividends or other distributions, future financings, acquisitions and stock options and other equity benefits under employee benefit plans. On August 2, our definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C was filed. 22 ITEM 6.
