Safe Harbor Statement

This Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions that are not statements of historical facts. This document and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimates," "forecast," "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based on management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operation and elsewhere in this report. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, and are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s view only as of the date of this report.

General
Western Silver-Lead Corporation (the "Company" or "Registrant"), is an Idaho Corporation that was incorporated on August 23, 1947. The Company was organized to explore for, acquire and develop mineral properties in the State of Idaho and the Western United States. During the past several years the Company’s activities have been confined to annual assessment and maintenance work on its Idaho mineral properties and other general and administrative functions.

Pending the approval of an Asset Purchase Agreement and the nomination of certain directors, by a majority vote of shareholders, the Company plans to seek new business opportunities with entities that desire the attributes of a publicly registered company. (See Item 6. "Plan of Operation").

The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years and has no recurring source of revenue. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result the Company’s independent auditors included a "going concern" qualification in their report on the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management plans to maintain the Company as a going concern although there is no assurance they will be successful.

Employees

The Company has no paid employees. None of the Company’s executive officers are employed by the Company. Management services are provided on an "as needed" basis without compensation, generally consisting of less than five hours per week. General and administrative functions are provided by employees of an entity affiliated with a related party of the Company

Item 2. Description of Properties

At September 30, 2001, the Company’s properties consisted of patented mining claims covering approximately 17 acres in Section 30, Township 48 North, Range 5 East, of the Coeur d’ Alene Mining District in Shoshone County, Idaho. During 1999, the Company held ten unpatented lode claims in addition to its 17 acres of patented land that were subsequently abandoned during fiscal year 2000. No proven or probable reserves have been established at any of the Company’s mineral properties.

The Company intends on transferring all of its interests in its properties pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and its ratification by a majority of the Company’s shareholders sometime during fiscal year 2002 (See Item 6. "Financial Condition and Liquidity").

No dividends have been paid or declared during the last five years; and the Registrant does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Plan of Operation

Following the approval of an Asset Purchase Agreement by a vote of a majority of the Company’s shareholders (See "Financial Condition and Liquidity"), the Company intends to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly registered corporation. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature.

The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The Company may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

Although the Company has no significant capital assets with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with significant cash or other assets, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct a public offering. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, the officers and directors of the Company, none of whom is a professional business analyst. Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to its attention through present associations of the Company’s officers or through advertising the Company’s availability for acquisition. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration, specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name and identification; and other relevant factors.

Results of Operations

The Company reported a net loss of $15,856 for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to a net loss of $19,333 in the previous year. The decrease in net loss from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2001 was primarily due to decreased general and administrative expenses of $15,705 during fiscal year 2001 compared to $17,945 during fiscal year 2000.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

On November 1, 2001, the Board of Directors resolved to enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("the Agreement") with Kykuit, a Florida corporation, WSL L.L.C. ("WSL"), an Idaho limited liability company controlled by H. F. Magnuson, an individual, whereby the Company would divest itself of all its assets and liabilities except for $30,000 of cash collected from a related party receivable. The Agreement calls for the transfer of the Company’s assets, including its mineral property holdings, to WSL, and WSL’s assumption of all liabilities known and unknown to the Company. Upon closing the Agreement, the Company’s total assets shall be $30,000. The Company will have no other assets and no liabilities.

To date, Kykuit, has paid for the benefit of the Company a total of approximately $15,000, which monies have been applied principally to pay expenses related to audits of the Company’s financial statements and other services required to become current under the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company has no written finance agreement with Kykuit to provide any continued funding nor any agreement to repay any payments made on behalf of the Company by Kykuit. The Company anticipates, however, that advances from Kykuit or other parties related to the Company, will be its primary source of funding to finance its operations for the upcoming fiscal year.

As described by the Company’s independent auditors in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company is dependent upon continued availability of equity financing and successfully implementing its plan of operation to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. While management is optimistic about prospects for the Company, there can be no assurance that they will be successful in their plans.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Board of Directors
Western Silver-Lead Corporation
Wallace, Idaho

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Western Silver-Lead Corporation ("the Company") as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Western Silver-Lead Corporation as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Western Silver-Lead Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

Western Silver-Lead Corporation (the "Company") is an Idaho Corporation that was incorporated on August 23, 1947. The Company was organized to explore for, acquire and develop mineral properties in the State of Idaho and the Western United States. During the past several years the Company’s activities have been confined to annual assessment and maintenance work on its Idaho mineral properties and other general and administrative functions.

The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years and has no recurring source of revenue. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments, which might be necessary, if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had recorded no net deferred tax assets or liabilities and recognized no income tax provision as it had no taxable income for the years then ended.

Impaired Asset Policy

The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets when applicable 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.

Net Loss Per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997 for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of both classes of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common stock equivalents such as common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had no outstanding common stock equivalents, and only basic EPS is reported for the years then ended.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ balances have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on total assets or stockholders’ equity as reported.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable, and related party advances and accrued interest thereon, approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2001 and 2000.

Environmental Matters

In prior years the Company owned property interests on private and public lands in Idaho and other states in Western United States for purposes of exploring for and developing commercial mineral deposits. The Company and its properties have been subject to a variety of federal and state regulations governing land use and environmental matters. The Company’s management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations, and is unaware of any pending action or proceeding relating to regulatory matters that would affect the financial position of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," collectively, the Statements. These Statements drastically change the accounting for business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets. Companies are required to adopt Statement 142 in their fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company anticipates that the adoption of these Statements will not have a material affect on its financial statements.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this statement will not have a material affect on its financial statements.

Investments

Marketable equity securities are categorized as available for sale and carried at quoted market value. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized on a specific identification basis. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred income taxes, if applicable, unless a permanent impairment in value has occurred, which is then charged to operations.

3. Mineral Properties

At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company’s mineral properties consisted of approximately 17 acres of patented land located in the Coeur d’ Alene Mining District in Shoshone County, Idaho. During the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company held ten unpatented lode claims in addition to its 17 acres of patented land that were subsequently abandoned during fiscal year 2000. At present, no proven or probable reserves have been established at any of the Company’s mineral properties.

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement requires that long-lived assets and associated intangibles be written down to their fair values whenever an impairment review indicates that the carrying value cannot be recovered. Prior to 1999, management reviewed the carrying values of its mineral properties and adjusted the values to zero.

4. Income Taxes

At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had federal tax-basis net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $78,000, which will expire in various amounts from 2004 through 2010. The deferred tax asset associated with these operating loss carryforwards is approximately $26,000 for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, and has been fully reserved for each of the years then ended, as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized.

5. Advances due from/to Related Parties

The Company has had advances due from and to related parties throughout much of its operating history. The related parties, to a large extent, have been business entities owned or controlled by H. F. Magnuson and his immediate family. H. F. Magnuson is a former officer and director of the Company and the father of H. James Magnuson, the Company’s current president and a director. The advances have not been subject to any specific repayment terms or maturities and are payable on demand.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had the following advances due from (to) related party entities:

2001

Advances due to related party $

In prior periods, interest was accrued on related party advances at 5% per annum. During the year ended September 30, 2001, however, no interest was accrued pursuant to the mutual consent of the Company and the related parties. Accrued interest receivable (payable) on related party advances at September 30, 2001 and 2000, is as follows:

2001 2000
Interest receivable on related party advances $ 44,039 $ 44,039
Interest payable on related party advances $ (1,048) $ (1,048)

Interest receivable on related party advances, net

$ $ 42,991 $ $ 42,991

6. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has authorized for issue 3,600,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.05. The authorized common stock has been divided into two classes known as "Class A" and "Class B".

Class A Common Stock

Class A Common Stock consists of 1,200,000 shares is fully paid and non-assessable.

Class B Common Stock

Class B Common Stock consists of 2,400,000 shares and is assessable, provided however, that any assessments levied upon Class B shares are considered as contributions to capital and must be repaid from net profits before dividends are declared or paid to any Class A or B shareholders. Class B capital assessments can be levied at any time by the Board of Directors at their discretion. Shareholders who fail to pay assessments levied on their Class B shares lose ownership of the shares and the shares are returned to the treasury.

At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had $35,045 of contributed capital from assessments on Class B shares, and 33,547 Class B shares had been returned to the Company’s treasury due to unpaid capital assessments levied on the shares.

Issue of Shares

Pursuant to resolutions passed by the Board of Directors on November 1, 2001, the Company issued 238,971 shares of its Class A Common Stock and 612,163 shares of its Class B Common Stock to a group of individuals and entities affiliated with Kykuit, a Florida corporation the Company entered into an agreement with on November 1, 2001 (see Note 8). The issue, which took place in December of 2001, was in exchange for stock subscriptions receivable collectively totaling $42,557, or $0.05 per share.

7. Related Party Transactions

The Company occupies office space provided by H. F. Magnuson & Company, a company controlled by H. F. Magnuson (See Note 5). The Company pays no rent for the space it occupies and the value of the space is not considered material for financial reporting purposes. During the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, administrative and mineral property maintenance expenses totaling $13,914 and $15,406, respectively, were accrued or paid to H. F. Magnuson & Company. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had accounts payable due H. F. Magnuson & Company of $5,910 and $7,081, respectively.

The Company has utilized the legal services of H. James Magnuson, the Company’s president, director, and legal counsel, for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, totaling $300 and $1,200, respectively.

8. Subsequent Events

On November 1, 2001, the Board of Directors resolved to enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("the Agreement") with Kykuit, a Florida corporation, WSL L.L.C, ("WSL"), an Idaho limited liability company controlled by H. F. Magnuson, and H. F. Magnuson, an individual, (see Notes 5 and 7), whereby the Company would divest itself of all its assets and liabilities except for $30,000 of cash. The Agreement calls for the transfer of the Company’s assets, including its mineral property holdings, to WSL, and WSL’s assumption of all liabilities known and unknown to the Company. As consideration for the transfer and for consulting services provided by H. F. Magnuson, the Agreement provides for Kykuit’s payment of $115,000 to Mr. Magnuson.

The Agreement is conditioned upon the appointment of three individuals that control Kykuit to the Company’s Board of Directors and changing the Company’s domicile from Idaho to Florida by merging the Company with Western SLV Corporation, a newly formed and wholly owned Florida subsidiary. The Agreement’s closing is contingent upon the ratification of the appointment of directors and merger with Western SLV Corporation by a majority of the Company’s shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders.

In connection with the resolution to enter into the Agreement, the Board of Directors also resolved to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issue from 3,600,000 to 8,000,000, and reduce the par value of the Company’s common stock from $0.05 to $0.001.

The resolutions passed by the Board of Directors on November 1, 2001, are subject to ratification by a majority of the Company’s shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders.
