Yes: X No: As of February 3, 2003, 758,915.94 capital shares were outstanding, and the aggregate market value of the common shares of California- Engels Mining Company held by nonaffiliates was approximately $287,299. Documents Incorporated by Reference: NONE Filing Contains 34 Pages PART 1 ITEM 1. BUSINESS Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on July 12, 1922, under the name of California Copper Corporation, as a holding company for the shares of its operating company Engels Copper Mining Company which was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on June 19, 1901. Engels Copper Mining Company was merged into California Copper Corporation on March 3, 1936, and the name of the merged company was changed to California-Engels Mining Company. Exploration and development commenced at the Engels Mine, Lights Creek Mining District, Plumas County, California, upon organization of Engels Copper Mining Company; but it was not until 1914 that milling facilities were available and actual production of copper started. From 1914 until operations were suspended due to the low price of copper in July, 1930, approximately 4,700,000 tons of ore were mined from the Engels and Superior mines and milled producing 160,170,000 pounds of copper and substantial values in gold and silver. Out of profits of this operation, the Registrant retired a bond issue of $500,000 and paid out more than $1,285,000 in dividends. During the 1930's the mining and milling plant, Engelmine townsite and the Indian Valley Railroad subsidiary were dismantled and sold. Registrant's mining properties were continuously leased from September, 1947, to March, 1951; from March, 1951, to December, 1959; from November, 1960, to October, 1979; from August, 1980, to August, 1990; and from November, 1990, to April 1993. The lessee from 1964 to 1993 was Placer Dome U.S. Inc., the U.S. Subsidiary of Placer Dome Inc., Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The Mining Lease With Option to Purchase, between the Registrant (Lessor) and Placer Dome U.S. Inc. (Lessee) was terminated by Placer Dome U.S. Inc. effective April 20, 1993. Registrant has received a substantial amount of technical data on its mining properties and maintains a library on the Plumas Copper Belt. Thousands of feet of drill core from the Superior Mine, Sulphide Ridge and the Engels Mine are stored at Crescent Mills, California. Registrant's mineral deposits and prospects are not deemed economically attractive under current conditions for the mining industry in California and the United States, nor are they likely to be so in the foreseeable future. The Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan on Registrant's mining properties was approved by the California Department of Forestry and became effective July 2, 1999. The permitting process for this project began in August, 1994 with the start of the archaeological survey and the February, 1995 agreement with Shasta Land Management Consultants to prepare the Plan. The Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan is an assessment of the timber inventory, conditions and potential of the entire property broken down into units with similar growing conditions within each unit. Its intent is to demonstrate a long-term commitment to appropriately manage the resource. It functions as a coordinated collection of individual Timber Harvest Plans and its advantage is that, once approved, the paperwork necessary to initiate individual timber harvests is minimal. Under the Plan the Registrant is restricted in management options to those silvicultural systems that produce uneven-aged stands of timber. Uneven-aged management means the management of a specific forest with the goal of establishing a well-stocked stand of various age classes of trees scattered over the forest. It will permit the periodic harvest of all size classes as individual or small groups to realize yield. Over the long term, forest growth and yield will be balanced. The Registrant will also have the advantage of being able to time harvests for favorable market conditions. It will take a number of years to fully implement the Plan. After the effective date of the Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan the Registrant filed a Notice of Timber Operations for a helicopter harvest on its Green Ledge and Austrian Syndicate parcels on Ward Creek pursuant to the Plan. The project harvested 377,520 board feet of timber and was completed on October 28, 1999. Registrant made application to the California Tree Farm Committee of the American Tree Farm System for approval of its Engelmine Forest timber lands on Lights Creek as a tree farm. Its Engelmine Forest was accepted as California Tree Farm No. 2611 on June 17, 1999. Registrant received approval on July 28, 2000 for a 103 acre hand thinning project from the California Department of Forestry pursuant to their California Forest Improvement Program. The Department will reimburse 75% of the $48,670 cost to the Registrant over the three year life of the agreement. Other hand thinning projects funded by the Registrant are ongoing on other overstocked areas of its property. Registrant filed a Notice of Timber Operations pursuant to its Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan on September 7th and December 15, 2000, for mechanical thinning and chipping/biomass projects on its Engels and Smith parcels. A Timber Harvest Plan was filed for its Henry parcel on November 27, 2000. Thinning began on December 11, 2000 by Pew Forest Products, Crescent Mills, California using two Timbco feller buncher machines, a stroke delimber, shovel loader, chipper, logging trucks and other equipment. The thinning and timber harvest completed on July 13, 2001, products 1,432,000 board feet of small logs generating sufficient funds to pay for the projects. The purpose of the thinning harvest was to reduce fire danger, improve the timber stand, provide wildlife protection, remove hazard timber and improve aesthetics. The U.S.D.A. Forest Service is preparing a draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group (HFQLG) Administrative Study on the Plumas National Forest. If the HFQLG is eventually implemented it will result in surface ladder fuels thinning to reduce the extent and severity of wildland fires in the National Forest surrounding Registrant's property. Registrant is subject to a State of California General Industrial Activities Storm Water Permit. During the year, pursuant to the Registrant's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, catch and evaporation basins and monthly water sampling records were maintained. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (a) Registrant is the fee owner of 36 patented lode mining claims totaling 736 acres, plus 245.28 acres of other patented lands at Engelmine, Lights Creek Mining District, Plumas County, California. None of the claims or patented lands are subject to any encumbrance. (b) Registrant is the fee owner of five patented lode mining claims totaling 100 acres in the Genesee Mining District, Plumas County, California. None of the claims are subject to any encumbrance. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S CAPITAL STOCK AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS (a) Principal Markets. Registrant's shares of Capital Stock are quoted on the Over- the-Counter Market in the "pink sheets" which are published daily by the Pink Sheets LLC under the symbol "CAEN". The following table shows the high and low bid prices of Registrant's Capital Shares in the Over-the-Counter Market for the past two years:

(b) Approximate number of holders of capital stock. The approximate number of holders of record of Registrant's Capital Stock as of February 3, 2003, is 904. (c) The Registrant has never paid a dividend on its Capital Stock because it has had an accumulated deficit since the merger in 1936. The Board of Directors of the Registrant is endeavoring to earn income from the sale of timber, sale of land, sale of sand and rock and its bookkeeping business so funds are available for the maintenance of its mining properties and the implementation of its Timber Management Plan. It is not the intention of the Registrant to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Year Ended December 31

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (a) Financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. During the 30 years its mining properties were leased, the Board of Directors of the Registrant endeavored to increase working capital, total assets and shareholder's equity in the event that its lessee, Placer Dome U.S. Inc., terminated its Mining Lease With Option to Purchase agreement and return the mining properties to the Registrant. This event occurred effective April 20, 1993. Thus funds were available to begin preparation of the Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan. Because timber and land sale revenues are infrequent, in order to provide regular monthly income the President of the Registrant, on January 1, 2000, transferred his bookkeeping business to the Registrant. Changes in working capital, total assets and shareholder's equity for the past five years are summarized as follows:

The objective of the Board of Directors of the Registrant is to earn income from the sale of timber, sale of land, sale of sand and rock and its bookkeeping business so that funds are available for the maintenance of its mining properties and the implementation of its Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan. (b) Results of operations. Registrant's principal sources of income are from the sale of timber, sale of land, sale of sand and rock, bookkeeping business, interest and dividends. There is no assurance that any of the sources of income will continue at current rates into the future. The termination of the Mining Lease With Option to Purchase agreement substantially increased Registrant's property maintenance expenses. ITEM 8.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. page 8 CALIFORNIA-ENGELS MINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of California- Engels Mining Company (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Nature of Activity The Company's principal line of business is development of mineral and timber properties. The principal revenue sources currently consist of timber, land and rock sales, bookkeeping business, and investment income. The Company's properties are located in the western United States. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Basis of Accounting The Company's books are maintained on the accrual method of accounting. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a purchased maturity of three months of less to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. page 9 CALIFORNIA-ENGELS MINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 Mineral and Timber Lands Mineral and timber lands and depreciable property are stated at book value less accumulated depletion and depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance method over five to seven year lives. Timber depletion is calculated based on units of production. Comprehensive Income Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company reports any material components of comprehensive income in its financial statements. Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current years financial statement presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on net equity or net income. NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

page 10 CALIFORNIA-ENGELS MINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 NOTE 3 - MINING CLAIMS AND FEE LAND OWNED At December 31, 2002, the Company was the owner of 36 patented lode mining claims totaling 736 acres comprising the Engels and Superior Mines and 245.28 acres of patented land at Engelmine, Lights Creek Mining District, Plumas County, California. At December 31, 2002, the Company was the owner of five patented lode mining claims totaling 100 acres on Ward Creek in the Genesee Mining District, Plumas County, California. NOTE 4 - VALUATION OF MINERAL LANDS - DEFERRED INCOME TAXES The Mineral lands carried on the books at a value of $10,000 less depletion have a historical cost basis from June 19, 1901 of $1,000,000. Beginning in 1913, different valuations were placed on these lands by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Under instructions of the Commissioner, the values of the land were written up on the books to a high of $4,500,000 on February 23, 1928. In 1934, because of depressed conditions, the mineral lands were written down to $10,000 without any tax benefit. In the event of a sale of these lands the recognized gain for tax purposes will be substantially reduced or eliminated. Consequently a deferred tax asset of approximately $340,000 has been offset by a corresponding valuation allowance of approximately $340,000 due to the unlikelihood of the sale of the property in the near future. It is estimated that the current market value of the properties meets or exceeds the $1,000,000 historical cost basis; however, due to the length of time the Company has reported the land values at the written down value of $10,000, a change to the cost method has not been deemed appropriate for reporting purposes. page 11 CALIFORNIA-ENGELS MINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 NOTE 5 - DEEDS OF TRUST Trust deed notes receivable at December 31,

page 12 CALIFORNIA-ENGELS MINING COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 NOTE 6 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, the available- for-sale securities are reported as an asset at their fair market value with the unrealized gain or loss excluded from earnings and reported as a component of comprehensive income. The held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Realized gains and losses are determined using specific identification of securities sold. The investment securities portfolio was comprised of items held-to- maturity at December 31, 2002 and items classified as available-for-sale and held-to- maturity at December 31, 2001. The following reflect the estimated fair values of investment securities and amortized cost of debt securities held at December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000. Fair values are based on management's estimate.
