      foreclosure of mechanic's lien, and assertion that the Degerstrom lien has
      priority over all other liens on the Plum Mine property. The plaintiff claimed
      damages in excess of $806,000 plus interest. The litigation was settled in
      early
      December 2007. Under the settlement agreement, GoldSpring paid Degerstrom
      $250,000 and both parties agree to dismiss their claims against the other.
      The
      agreement was subject to GoldSpring remitting $100,000 by December 11, 2007
      and
      the balance of $150,000 by January 31, 2008. The Company made the final payment
      on January 31, 2008. In December 2007, obligations to N.A. Degerstrom were
      adjusted to reflect the settlement amount resulting in a reduction in accrued
      contract mining liabilities of approximately $500,000. </font><br></div>

      the
      end of 2007, we were engaged in financing negotiations that would essentially
      establish a fixed conversation price for the convertible notes. The results
      of
      the financing negotiations occurred in the first quarter of 2008 and were
      recorded in the second quarter of 2008. In negotiating additional financing,
      a
      favorable conversion rate was established. That favorable rate with a new lender
      triggered &#8220;favored nations&#8221; clauses in all our convertible debentures, which
      ultimately resulted in the elimination of all legacy amounts reflected as &#8220;Other

      order
      to obtain the additional financing referred, as an inducement we offered
      beneficial conversion terms of $0.01 per share to the new creditor. Our existing
      creditor agreements contained &#8220;favored nations&#8221; rights which required that their
      terms be reset to establish parity with any more favorable subsequent creditor&#8217;s
      terms. Accordingly, we do view the modification of conversion terms as
      constituting a &#8220;substantial modification of terms&#8221; as contemplated in EITF
      96-19, and therefore we concluded based on that guidance that the old debt
      terms
      were extinguished. By establishing the $0.01 per share conversion price, we
      believe we have effectively eliminated the derivative consideration, since
      the
      conversion price of embedded conversion features is essentially no longer
      derived from the market price of our common shares. Consequently we removed
      all
      vestiges of the derivative valuations associated with the previous conversion
      features, from our accounts as reflected in our quarterly reporting as of June
      30, 2008. </font></div>

      to the
      accounting for the new conversion features, we believe that the resulting
      financial substance of the above transaction can more closely be described
      as an
&#8220;embedded beneficial conversion feature&#8221;, since our stock traded in at $0.0205
      per share on February 20, 2008, the commitment date for the transaction. Because
      our stock traded in excess of the conversion price of $0.01, the conversion
      feature was &#8220;in the money&#8221; at issuance. Accordingly, we are looking to the
      guidance offered in EITF 98-5 to form appropriate accounting treatment for
      the
      transaction.</font></div>

      believe that this treatment most accurately represents the financial reality

      ensures conversion, would make recording the fair value of the transaction

      preserving the beneficial pricing. Because there is an economic contingency
      on
      the conversion outside of our control, we intend to amortize the debt discount
      ratably into interest expense, over the life of the debt, as it is repaid or
