                          PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

         THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL DATA APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. AN
INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE FACTORS IDENTIFIED UNDER THE
HEADING "RISK FACTORS".

                              THE COMPANY

         The Company is in the business of exploring for and developing

oil and natural gas properties. Although the Company has been in existence for
81 years, its activities in the oil and gas business commenced only in 1995 with
the acquisition of numerous oil and gas properties. These properties include the
following:

              (i) a 100% working interest in 41 oil and gas leases on a total
of 8,058 acres, more or less, and a 25% working interest on one lease of 462
acres, more or less, located in Clay County, Kentucky (collectively, the "Beech
Creek Leases");

              (ii) a 100% working interest in 5 oil and gas leases on a total
of 741 acres, more or less, located in Clay County, Kentucky (collectively, the
"Wildcat Leases");

               (iii) a 100% working interest in six oil and gas leases on a
total of 744 acres, more or less, located in Clay County, Kentucky
(collectively, the "Burning Springs Leases");

               (iv) a 100% working interest in nine oil and gas leases on a
total of 2,121 acres, more or less, located in Fentress County, Tennessee
(collectively, the "Fentress County Leases").


               (v) a 100% working interest in 210 oil and gas leases on a total
of 30,367 acres more or less, located in Hancock and Claiborn Counties,
Tennessee (collectively, the "Swan Creek Leases").

         The Beech Creek Leases contain four wells. These four wells have been
tested and management believes they are capable of producing gas in paying
quantities. Flow lines have been laid to connect these wells to the gas
transmission system of Wiser Oil Co. However, the wells are not presently in
production.

         The Burning Springs Leases contain a total of 11 gas wells,
all of which are shut-in. Several of the wells were in production in 1996 and
were hooked up to a nearby Southern Gas Company transport line. At present, the
wells are not producing since the compressors and related equipment have been
moved to the

                                   3


<PAGE>



Swan Creek leases where, it is anticipated, the wells will be more profitable.
The Company intends to evaluate the wells that are listed as shut-in for
possible workover or deepening potential. After the evaluation, they will be
either reworked or plugged.

         The Fentress County Leases currently have one well, which is shut-in.
The well will require additional work to initiate production.


         Substantial additional evaluation and remedial work will be necessary
in order to determine whether most of the Company's wells will be able to
produce oil and gas in paying quantities and to make them produce in such
quantities. The Company's ability to perform these operations will depend to a
great degree on its ability to raise sufficient funding to develop its leases,
as to which no assurance can be given. Nor can any assurance be given that if
the Company is able to obtain such funding, it will be able to produce oil and
gas in profitable quantities.

          The Company will conduct exploration and production activities to
produce crude oil and natural gas. The principal markets for these commodities
are local refining companies, major natural gas transmission pipeline companies,
local utilities and private industry end users, which purchase the crude oil,
and natural gas pipeline companies, which purchase the gas. There are currently
two gas transmission lines that run through the Beech Creek Leases. These lines
can be accessed to sell gas produced from the leases. There are two more
transmission lines within approximately two miles of these leases.

          In Hancock County, gas production from the Swan Creek Leases will be
delivered into the major transmission line of East Tennessee Natural Gas. At the
present time, there is no completed pipeline from these leases to the East
Tennessee Natural Gas pipeline. The Company is in the process of constructing
such a pipeline which is approximately 70% completed and is expected to be
completed during the last quarter of 1997. The pipeline will be approximately 23
miles long and is made of 8 inch steel pipe. The cost to date has been
approximately $1,500,000. Completion is expected to cost approximately an
additional $700,000. The Company has acquired all necessary regulatory approvals
and 99% of necessary property rights to complete this pipeline. It anticipates
having the remaining property rights within two months. The Company's pipeline
will not only service the Company's wells, but, will provide transportation of
gas for small independent producers in the local area as well. It is anticipated
that direct sales could also be made to some local towns and industries. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to produce a sufficient
quantity of crude oil or natural gas to make these operations profitable.

          The estimated present net reserve values based upon a

                                   4


<PAGE>



report from Coburn Petroleum Engineering, an independent expert, indicate a
present value of $33,874,577 for the Swan Creek Field, $5,929,992 for the Beech
Creek Leases, $996,280 for the Fentress County Leases and $547,248 for the
Burning Springs Leases. Reserve analyses are at best speculative, especially
when based upon limited production; no assurance can be given that the reserves
attributed to these leases exist or will be economically recoverable.

                                 RISK FACTORS

         THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD
NOT BE PURCHASED BY PERSONS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE LOSS OF THEIR TOTAL
INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS OF THE SHARES OFFERED HEREIN SHOULD GIVE
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS,
TO THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS.

         1. Limited History. Although the Company was organized in 1916, it must
be regarded as being in a formative stage due to its lack of significant
business operations during recent years and the fact that it did not acquire any
oil or gas leases until 1995. Prior to its acquisition of these leases, the
Company had never been involved in the oil and gas business. Its future success
depends upon its ability, to profitably operate its existing wells and to expand
its operations through the acquisition of additional

                                      6


<PAGE>



oil and gas producing properties and/or the acquisition of additional oil and
gas leases. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
making such acquisitions. If the Company is successful in acquiring additional
leases, it faces the risk that the geology reports on which it relies are
inaccurate, that the oil and/or gas reserves are less than anticipated, that it
will not have sufficient funds to drill on the property, that it will not be
able to market the oil and/or gas due to a lack of a market or the lack of
pipelines, and that fluctuations in the prices of oil and/or gas will make
development of those leases uneconomical. The Company is also subject to all of
the risks inherent in attempting to expand a relatively new business venture.
These risks include, but are not limited to, possible inability to profitably
operate its existing properties or properties to be acquired in the future, the
existence of undisclosed actual or contingent liabilities, the inability to fund
the requirements of such properties and the inability to acquire additional
properties that will have a positive effect on the Company's operations. There
can be no assurance that the Company will achieve a level of profitability that
will provide a return on invested capital or that will result in an increase in
the market value of the Company's securities. See, "Market Price of and
Dividends on the Company's Common Equity and Other Stockholder Matters."

         2. Limited Market for Common Stock. Although the Company's common stock
is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities

Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), the market for such shares only commenced in May,
1995, following the acquisition of the oil and gas leases described above, and
there can be no assurance that it will continue or be maintained. Any market
price for shares of common stock of the Company is likely to be very volatile,
and factors such as success or lack thereof in drilling, the ability or
inability to acquire additional oil and gas producing properties, competition,
governmental regulation and fluctuations in operating results may all have a
significant effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced,
and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have
affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often
been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad
market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may
adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. See,"Market
Price of and Dividends on the Company's Common Equity and Other Stockholder
Matters."

         3. General Economic Risks/Potential Volatility of Stock Price. The
Company's current and future business plans are dependent, in large part, on the
state of the general economy. Adverse changes in general and local economic
conditions may cause high volatility in the market price of the Company's
securities and may adversely affect an investment in these securities. Oil and

                                      7


<PAGE>


gas prices are extremely volatile and are subject to substantial seasonal,
political, world wide supply of oil and gas and other fluctuations and risks,
all of which are beyond the Company's control.

         4. Future Acquisitions. The Company intends to develop and expand its
business, principally by developing its existing oil and gas leases and
acquiring additional oil and gas-producing properties and/or leases. See,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" below. The Company
has not selected any particular properties in connection with its expansion
plans and may not be able to locate desirable property and/or it may not be able
to provide the funds necessary to acquire additional property.

         5. Future Capital Requirements; Uncertainty of Future Funding. The
Company presently has limited operating capital. It will require substantial
additional funding in order to realize its goals of conducting oil and gas
exploration operations and acquiring additional oil and gas properties. The
Company is currently negotiating with investment banking firms and other
entities to raise these funds through equity or debt financing, which may be
very difficult for such a highly speculative enterprise. There can be no
assurance that such additional funding will be made available to the Company, or
if made available, that the terms thereof will be satisfactory to the Company.
Furthermore, any equity funding will cause a substantial decrease in the
proportional ownership interests of existing stockholders. If such funding is
not made available to the Company, it is doubtful that the Company will be able
to conduct its planned business operations. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operation".


         6. Replacement of Reserves. The Company's future success will
depend upon its ability to find, acquire and develop additional oil and gas
reserves that are economically recoverable. The proven reserves of the Company
will generally decline as they are produced, except to the extent that the
Company conducts revitalization activities, or acquires properties containing
proven reserves, or both. To increase reserves and production, the Company must
continue its development and drilling programs, identify and produce previously
overlooked or by-passed zones and shut-in wells, acquire additional properties
or undertake other replacement activities. The Company's current strategy is to
increase its reserve base, production and cash flow through the development of
its existing oil and gas fields and selective acquisitions of other promising
properties where the Company can utilize new and existing technology. The
Company can give no assurance that its planned revitalization, development and
acquisition activities will result in significant additional reserves or that
the Company will have success in discovering and producing reserves at
economical exploration and development costs. 

                                      8


<PAGE>


The Company may not be able to locate geologically satisfactory property,
particularly since it will be competing for such property with other oil and gas
companies, many of which have much greater financial resources than the Company.
Moreover, even if desirable properties are available to the Company, it may not
have sufficient funds with which to acquire additional leases. Furthermore,
while the Company's revenues may increase if prevailing oil and gas prices
increase significantly, the Company's exploration costs for additional reserves
may also increase.

         7. Uncertainty of Reserve Estimates. Oil and gas reserve estimates and
the present value estimates associated therewith are based upon numerous
engineering, geological and operational assumptions that generally are derived
from limited data. Common assumptions include such matters as the extent and
average thickness of a particular reservoir, the average porosity and
permeability of the reservoir, the anticipated future production from existing
and future wells, future development and production costs and the ultimate
hydrocarbon recovery percentage. As a result, oil and gas reserve estimates and
present value estimates are frequently revised in subsequent periods to reflect
production data obtained after the date of the original estimates. If reserve
estimates are inaccurate, production rates may decline more rapidly than
anticipated, and future production and revenues may be less than estimated.
Moreover, significant downward revisions of reserve estimates may adversely
affect the Company's ability to borrow funds in the future or have an adverse
impact on other financing arrangements.

         In addition, any estimates of future net revenues and the present value
thereof are based upon period ending prices and on cost assumptions made by the
Company which only represent its best estimate. If these estimates of
quantities, prices and costs prove inaccurate and the Company is unsuccessful in
expanding its oil and gas reserves base, and/or declines in and instability of

oil and gas prices occur, write-downs in the capitalized costs associated with
the Company's oil and gas assets may be required. The Company will also rely to
a substantial degree on reserve estimates in connection with the acquisition of
producing properties. If the Company overestimates the potential oil and gas
reserves of a property to be acquired, or if its subsequent operations on the
property are not successful, the acquisition of the property could result in
substantial losses to the Company. See, "Description of Property".

         8. Operating Hazards. Oil and gas operations involve a high degree of
risk. Natural hazards, such as excessive underground pressures, may cause costly
and dangerous blowouts or make further operations on wells financially or
physically impractical. Similarly, the testing and recompletion of oil and gas
wells involves a high degree of risk arising from operational failures, such as
blowouts, fires, pollution, collapsed casing, loss of 

                                      9

equipment and numerous other mechanical and technical problems. Any of the
foregoing hazards may result in substantial losses or liabilities to third
parties, including claims for bodily injuries, reservoir damage, loss of
reserves, environmental damage and other damage to persons or property.

         9. Future Sales of Common Stock. Industrial Resources Corporation
("IRC") currently beneficially owns approximately 2,771,671 shares of the common
stock of the Company or approximately 45.3% of its outstanding voting
securities. This amount is based upon 6,124,216 shares being outstanding or
beneficially owned, and assumes the exercise of 497,097 shares vested under
options granted by the Company as of May 31, 1996. Effective June 30, 1997, all
of the shares of the common stock owned by IRC will have been beneficially owned
for two years, and subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule
144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, IRC may then commence to sell
these "restricted securities" in an amount equal to up to 1% of the then
outstanding securities of the Company, or the average weekly trading volume in
the securities of the Company on any recognized automated system during the four
weeks preceding any Notice of Sale pursuant to Rule 144, in any three month
period, provided the Company satisfies the "current public information
available" requirements of Rule 144 at that time. In such event, such sales
could have a substantial adverse effect on any public market that may then exist
in the Company's common stock. Sales of any of these shares by IRC could
severely affect the ability of the Company to secure the necessary debt or
equity funding for the Company's proposed business operations. For additional
information concerning the present market for shares of common stock of the
Company, see, the caption "Market Price of and Dividends on the Company's Common
Stock and Other Stockholder Matters." For information regarding common stock
ownership of IRC and the Ratliff family, see, "Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management." The additional 164,266 shares of common stock
of the Company acquired by IRC in exchange for debt of the Company as outlined
under the heading "Business Development" below (76,557 shares were issued in
March, 1996, and 87,709 shares were issued in April, 1996), will have satisfied
the present two year Rule 144 holding period in March and April, 1998,

respectively, and will also then be available for resale pursuant to Rule 144.

         A total of 505,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of
the Company's common stock were issued to Jeffrey D. Jenson, M. E. Ratliff and
Leonard W. Burningham, Esq., pursuant to the Compensation Agreements that were
executed on May 2, 1995. Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Commission the shares owned
by Messrs. Jenson and Burningham, who are non-affiliates, may now be sold
without restriction. The shares owned by M. E. Ratliff, who is an affiliate, may
not be sold until the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as
amended (the "1934 Act"). 

                                      10


<PAGE>



The resale of these securities may also have a substantial adverse impact on any
then-existing public market for the Company's common stock.  See, "Recent Sales
of Unregistered Securities."

         The availability of Rule 144 for resales of "restricted securities" by
affiliates is primarily conditioned upon the Company being a "reporting company"
under the 1934 Act, and being current" in all reports required to be filed, or
having "currently publicly available" the type of information usually provided
to broker-dealers effecting transactions in securities of a company as required
by Rule l5c2-1 1 (a)(5) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. If the
Company was not a "reporting company" at the time any holder of "restricted
securities" had held such securities for one year (two years in the case of an
affiliate), this type of information would have had to have been provided to
stockholders of the Company on a periodic basis over the previous two years, and
the Company's balance sheet and income statement at such time should be not less
than six months old. Further, this type of information should also have been
provided to nationally recognized manuals, broker-dealers effecting transactions
in the securities of the Company and newspapers of general circulation, where
possible, in order for the Company to satisfy the requirements of having the
required information "currently publicly available." Simultaneously with the
filing of this Prospectus and the Company's SB-2 Registration Statement for the
Shares offered hereby, the Company is filing a Registration Statement on Form
10SB to become a reporting company. Assuming that Registration Statement becomes
effective, and the Company thereafter files all reports required to be filed by
it with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company would have the
required information "currently publicly available" concerning it as required by
subparagraph (c)(l) of Rule 144. Shares held by non-affiliates would then be
able to be sold without restriction after a holding period of two years and
could be sold in limited quantities after a holding period of one year.

         10. Control by Current Security Holders. The Shares offered hereby
represent a minority of the Company's outstanding voting equity. By virtue of
IRC's present ownership of approximately 45.3% of the Company's outstanding
voting securities, the management of IRC has the ability to effect significantly
the election of the Company's directors, who in turn elect all executive

officers. The management of IRC may be deemed to have substantial control over
the management and affairs of the Company. See, "Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management." Upon conclusion of this offering IRC's
control will not be diminished.

         11. Competition.  The Company's oil and gas exploration activities are
centered in a highly competitive field.  In seeking any other suitable oil and
gas properties for acquisition, or drilling rig operators and related personnel
and equipment, the Company will be competing with a number of other companies,

                                      11


<PAGE>



including large oil and gas companies and other independent operators with
greater financial resources. Management does not believe that the Company's
initial competitive position in the oil and gas industry will be significant.
See,  "Competition."

         12. Dependence on Technical Personnel.  Certain members of present
management have substantial expertise in the areas of endeavor presently
conducted and to be engaged in by the Company. To the extent that their services
become unavailable, the Company will be required to retain other qualified
personnel.  There can be no assurance that it will be able to recruit and hire
qualified persons upon acceptable terms. See, "Directors, Executive Officers,
Promoters and Control Persons."

         Similarly, the oil and gas exploration industry requires the use of
personnel with substantial technical expertise. In the event that the services
of its current technical personnel become unavailable, the Company will need to
hire qualified personnel to take their place; no assurance can be given that it
will be able to recruit and hire such persons on mutually acceptable terms.

         13. Governmental Regulations. The Company is subject to numerous state
and federal regulations, environmental and otherwise, that may have a
substantial negative effect on its ability to operate at a profit. For a
discussion of the risks involved as a result of such regulations, see, "Effect
of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business" and "Costs and
Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws."

         14. Market for the Shares. The Company's Common Stock is presently
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance that there will be a
market for the Shares or that the price of such stock will be maintained
hereafter. Due to numerous factors the price of the Company's Common Stock may
fluctuate significantly. If the price of the Company's Common Stock trades for
less than $5.00 per share on the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation
Bureau's "pink sheets", the stock will become subject to the Commission's penny
stock disclosure requirements. This may have a substantial adverse affect on the
liquidity of the Company's common stock and, in addition, these regulations
could limit the ability of brokers/dealers to sell the Company's securities and
thus the ability of purchasers of the Company's securities, including the Shares

offered hereby to sell such securities in the secondary market.

         15. Dividends Unlikely. The holders of Common Stock of the Company are
entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Board does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable
future and earning, if any, will be used to finance the requirements of the
Company.


                                      12


<PAGE>



         16. Going Concern. The Company's auditors have indicated doubts about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in view of the recurring
losses from operations and the Company's working capital deficiency.

                               USE OF PROCEEDS

         The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
Shares by the Selling Shareholders. All of the proceeds from such sales will be
retained by the Selling Shareholders.

                       DETERMINATION OF PRICE OF SHARES

         The price received by the Selling Shareholders will be determined by
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

                                   DILUTION

         The Company is not selling any of the Shares offered. As a result, no
dilution will result from the sale of the Shares in this Offering.

                             SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
persons for whom the Company is registering the Shares for resale to the public.
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by
the Selling Shareholders. Beneficial ownership of the Shares by such Selling
Shareholders after this Offering will depend on the number of Shares sold by
each Selling Shareholder. This table assumes that all of the Shares offered
hereby will be sold.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Selling
Shareholders may use this Prospectus, as updated from time to time, to offer the
Shares for sale by the Selling Shareholders directly, or through broker-dealers
or agents as may be designated from time to time by the Selling Shareholders, or
through a combination of such methods. Sales may be effected on the OTC Bulletin
Board or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. Broker-dealers and
agents will receive compensation in the form of concessions or commissions from
the Selling Shareholders and/or purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act
as agent. Such compensation will be negotiated and paid for by either the
Selling Shareholders and/or purchasers. The Company has not arranged for the
sale of any of the Shares and is not responsible for any concessions or
commissions to be paid in connection with such sales. Each Selling Shareholder
and any brokers or agents that participate in the distribution of the Shares may
be deemed underwriters under the Securities Acts.

         The Shares may be sold on the OTC Bulletin Board or in privately
negotiated transactions. Sales of the Shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may be
made by one or more of the following means: (a) block trades in which a
broker-dealer will attempt to sell shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transactions; (b) purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account
pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transaction
in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; and (d) any other means
permitted by applicable regulations and laws. In addition, any Shares which
qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act may be sold under Rule 144
rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.

         Upon the Company being notified by a Selling Shareholder that any
material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of
Shares under any circumstances which require the filing of a supplemental
prospectus, a supplemental prospectus will be filed under Rule 424(c) under the
Act setting forth the names of the participating broker-dealers, the number
Shares involved, the price at which such Shares were sold by the Selling
Shareholder, and the commission paid or discounts or concessions

                                      18

allowed by the Selling Shareholder to such broker-dealers.

                              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Except as described hereafter, the Company is not a party to any
pending material legal proceeding. To the knowledge of management, no federal,

state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding
against the Company. To the knowledge of management, no director, executive
officer or affiliate of the Company or owner of record or beneficially of more
than 5% of the Company's common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a
material interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.

         The Company is a defendant in an action in New York by a lender seeking
the recovery of $250,000 based upon a promissory note. The Company has moved to
dismiss that action. The Company has filed an action in Tennessee against that
lender and two other lenders to invalidate warrants which were issued in
connection with those loans. The warrants authorize the lenders to purchase
common Stock of the Company at prices which vary as the market price of the
Company's stock varies. Should the market value of the Company's stock drop low
enough, the holders of the warrants could theoretically acquire a controlling
interest in the Company. It is the position of management that these warrants
were never validly issued and are null and void.

         DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS and CONTROL PERSONS

Identification of Directors and Executive Officers

         The following table sets forth the names of all former and current
directors and executive officers of the Company during the preceding calendar
year and to the date hereof. These persons will serve until the next annual
meeting of stockholders (to be held at such time as the Board of Directors shall
determine) or until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified, or
their prior resignations or terminations.

Changes in Control

         Except as indicated below, to the knowledge of the Company's
management, there are no present arrangements or pledges of the Company's
securities which may result in a change in control of the Company.

                          DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Authorized Capital Stock

         The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

         Common Stock. The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote
per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of stockholders.
Shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights, and therefore, a
majority of the shares of outstanding common stock will be able to elect the
entire Board

- --------
     (6) The principal shareholder of IRC is the father of Michael E. Ratliff.
103,500 shares of stock are owned by Tracmark, Inc., a corporation, the
principal shareholders of which are Michael E.  Ratliff and his father.

of Directors and, if they do so, minority stockholders would not be able to
elect any persons to the Board of Directors. The Company's Bylaws provide that a
majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company shall constitute a
quorum for stockholders meetings except with respect to certain matters for
which a greater percentage quorum is required by statute or the Bylaws.

         Stockholders of the Company have no preemptive rights to acquire
additional shares of common stock or other securities. The common stock is not
subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the
event of liquidation of the Company, the shares of common stock are entitled to
share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities. Holders

of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors
may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of
dividends. The Company seeks growth and expansion of its business through the
reinvestment of profits, if any, and except as indicated under the heading
"Market Price of and Dividends On the Company's Common Equity and Other
Stockholder Matters" - "Dividends" below, the Company does not anticipate that
it will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

         The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the authorized but
unissued shares of common stock without action by the stockholders. The issuance
of such shares would reduce the percentage ownership held by existing
shareholders and may dilute the book value of their shares.

         There are no provisions in the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation of
the Company which would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the
Company.

         INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES and AGENTS

         Section 48-18-502 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act (the
"TBCA") allows a corporation to indemnify any director in any civil or criminal
proceeding (other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in
which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or any other
proceeding in which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she
improperly received a personal benefit) by reason of service as a director if
the person to be indemnified conducted himself or herself in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

         Unless limited by its charter, Section 48-18-503 of the TBCA
requires a corporation to indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any

                                      26


<PAGE>



proceeding to which he or she was a party because of his or her role as director
against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The
Company's charter does not provide any limitations on this right of
indemnification.

         Pursuant to Section 48-18-504 of the TBCA, the Company may advance a
director's expenses incurred in defending any proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking and a statement of the director's good faith belief that he or she
has met the standard of conduct described in Section 48-18-502.

         Section 48-18-505 of the TBCA permits a court, upon application of a
director, to order indemnification if it determines that the director is
entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 48-18-503 or that be or she

is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not he or she
met the standards set forth in Section 48-18-502.

         Section 48-18-506 of the TBCA limits indemnification under Section
48-18-502 to situations in which either (i) the majority of a disinterested
quorum of directors; (ii) independent special legal counsel; or (iii) the
stockholders determine that indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

          Section 48-18-507 of the TBCA extends certain indemnification rights
to officers, employees and agents of a corporation as well.

          Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee or agent has the
right to indemnity under Section 48-18-502 or Section 48-18-503 of the TBCA,
Section 48-18-508 allows the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
his or her behalf against liability resulting from his or her corporate role.

          Section 48-18-509 of the TBCA provides that the rights to
indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights under any bylaw, agreement, stockholder vote or vote of
disinterested directors; however, no indemnification may be made where a final
adjudication adverse to the director establishes his or her liability for breach
of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders or for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

          In the event that a claim for indemnification against

                                      27


<PAGE>



such liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defenses of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered
hereunder, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Business Development.

         The Company was initially organized under the laws of the State of Utah
on April 18, 1916, under the name "Gold Deposit Mining & Milling Company." The
Company was formed for the purpose of mining, reducing and smelting mineral
ores.

         At the Company's inception, the Board of Directors authorized the
issuance of 600,000 shares of its then $0.10 par value common voting stock to
directors, executive officers and persons who may be deemed to have been
promoters or founders of the Company in consideration of the conveyance to the
Company of approximately 10 lode mining claims located in the Battle Mountain
Mining District, State of Nevada. The Company conducted limited mining
operations following its organization.

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended on April 12, 1966,
by unanimous vote of the shareholders, to provide that the Company shall have a
perpetual existence.


         On November 10, 1972, the Company conveyed to an unaffiliated entity
substantially all of the Company's assets at that time, and the Company ceased
all business operations.

         In connection with a change in control of the Company, in January,
1983, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of 1,500,000
"unregistered" and "restricted" shares of its common stock to certain directors
and executive officers in consideration of cash and services rendered of an
aggregate value of $7,500.

         On July 12, 1984, the Company's Articles of Incorporation were again
amended to: (i) authorize it to engage in any business or enterprise deemed to
be beneficial to the Company; (ii) increase the authorized capital of the
Company from 1,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares of common stock (which
allowed the Company to issue the "unregistered" and "restricted" shares referred
to in the preceding paragraph); (iii) reduce the par value of its common stock
from $0.10 to $0.001; (iv) provide that fully-paid stock shall not be liable for
any further call or assessment; and (v) provide that stockholders shall not have
preemptive rights to acquire unissued shares. There were 980,778 outstanding
voting securities of the Company on the date of the adoption of this amendment
by the stockholders of the Company, and 696,146 shares were voted in favor of
these amendments with none opposing and none abstaining.

         From approximately 1983 to 1991, the operations of the Company were
limited to seeking out the acquisition of assets, property or businesses.

         In contemplation of completing a "reverse" reorganization

                                      29


<PAGE>



with Onasco Biotechnologies, Inc. ("Onasco Texas"), the stockholders of the
Company adopted, ratified and approved the following amendments to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation: (i) a forward split of the then outstanding 2,480,778
shares of common stock of the Company on a basis of 2.015496 for one, resulting
in 5,000,000 post-split shares being outstanding, and retaining the par value at
$0.001 per share, with the appropriate adjustments being made in the additional
paid in capital and stated capital accounts of the Company; and (ii) a change of
the Company's name to "Onasco Companies, Inc." These amendments were subject to
the completion of the contemplated reorganization.

         The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with
Onasco Texas and all of its stockholders on December 17, 1991 (the "Onasco
Plan"). Pursuant to the Onasco Plan, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Onasco Texas in consideration of the
Company's issuance of an aggregate total of 15,000,000 post-split "unregistered"
and "restricted" shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to the stockholders
of Onasco Texas, pro rata, in accordance with their respective interests in
Onasco Texas.


         The Onasco Plan was effective as of December 18, 1991, the date on
which the aforesaid Articles of Amendment respecting the reorganization with
Onasco Texas were filed with the Department of Commerce of the State of Utah.
There were 2,480,778 outstanding voting securities of the Company on the date of
the adoption of this amendment by the stockholders of the Company, and 1,339,146
shares were voted in favor of these amendments with none opposing and none
abstaining.

         Onasco Texas, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
following the completion of the Onasco Plan, was organized under the laws of the
State of Texas on October 17, 1991. The Company carried on the business
operations previously conducted by Onasco Texas, which consisted of the
development of diagnostic kits to screen for the presence of Type D retrovirus
in humans and monkeys and a putative, synthetic vaccine against such viruses.
These operations, which primarily involved research and development activities,
proved unsuccessful and were discontinued in June, 1994, and Onasco Texas was
dissolved by resolution of the Board of Directors on or about April 10, 1995.
The dissolution did not involve any bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

         In accordance with the Utah Revised Business Corporation Law, which
became effective in 1991, on September 11, 1992, the Company's Articles of
Incorporation were further amended (i) to authorize the stockholders of the
Company to take any action without a meeting, that could have been taken at a
meeting of the stockholders, if consents are signed by stockholders holding at
least the number of shares that would be necessary to take the action at a
meeting (this action was not possible under prior law);

                                      30

                                       
<PAGE>



and (ii) to provide for the reclassification of each outstanding share of its
common stock to become one-twentieth of one share of new common stock
(designated "Reconstituted Common Stock"), effective September 15, 1992, with no
fractional shares being created and no stockholder to hold less than one share,
and with no change in the par value or the authorized capital. The net effect of
this reclassification was a one share for twenty reverse split of the
outstanding shares of common stock. There were 20,259,987 outstanding voting
securities of the Company on the date of the adoption of this amendment by the
stockholders of the Company, and 14,800,000 shares were voted in favor of these
amendments with none opposing and none abstaining; the outstanding voting
securities of the Company were reduced to 1,012,999 shares as a result of the
reverse split.

         In connection with a change in control of the Company in the summer of
1994, Duane S. Jenson and his son, Jeffrey D. Jenson, purchased 697,500 shares
of the Company's common stock, constituting approximately 67% of the then
outstanding voting securities of the Company, from Dr. Robert C. Bohannon, Ph.D.
and his family, in consideration of the sum of $10,000. Dr. Bohannon was
formerly the principal stockholder of Onasco Texas, and had served as the
President, CEO, Vice President and a director of the Company since the

completion of the Onasco Plan. Dr. Bohannon resigned these positions with the
Company, effective June 13, 1994, compromised a debt of the Company to him for
past services rendered to the Company prior to the change in control, and
designated Jeffrey D. Jenson to serve as President, CEO, Secretary/Treasurer and
a director of the Company. At the time of the change of control, Dr. Bohannon
was the sole director and executive officer of the Company. The remaining 33% of
the Company's stock was held by original public shareholders. Subsequent to the
change in control, Dr. Bohannon did not perform any services for the Company.
Prior to the change in control, no director of the Company received compensation
in excess of $100,000 per annum.

         At a special meeting of the Board of Directors held April 11, 1995, the
Board of Directors adopted resolutions providing for the granting of options to
purchase "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of common stock of the Company
to certain directors, executive officers and consultants whose service was to
commence on the closing of a Purchase Agreement then being negotiated with
Industrial Resources Corporation, a Kentucky corporation ("IRC"). See,
"Executive Compensation" - "Other Compensation" below.

         At a special meeting of stockholders held on April 28, 1995, the
Company's stockholders voted;

              (i) to approve the execution of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to
which the Company would acquire certain oil and gas leases, equipment,
securities and vehicles owned by IRC, in consideration of the issuance of
4,000,000 post-split (as described

                                      31


<PAGE>



below) "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's
common stock:

              (ii) to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to
effect a reverse split of the Company's outstanding $0.001 par value common
stock on a basis of one share for two, retaining the par value at $0.001 per
share, with appropriate adjustments being made in the additional paid in capital
and stated capital accounts of the Company;

              (iii) to change the name of the Company to "Tengasco, Inc."; and

              (iv) to change the domicile of the Company from the State of Utah
to the State of Tennessee by merging the Company into Tengasco, Inc., a
Tennessee corporation, formed by the Company solely for this purpose.

         The Purchase Agreement was duly executed by the Company and IRC,
effective May 2, 1995. The reverse split, name change and change of domicile
became effective on May 4, 1995, the date on which duly executed Articles of
Merger effecting these changes were filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Tennessee; a certified copy of the Articles of Merger from the State of

Tennessee was filed with the Department of Commerce of the State of Utah on May
5, 1995. Unless otherwise noted, all subsequent computations in this Prospectus
retroactively reflect this one for two reverse split and all other reverse
splits outlined above under this caption. There were 1,037,650 outstanding
voting securities of the Company on the date of the adoption of the amendments
by the stockholders of the Company, and 801,383 shares were voted in favor of
the amendments with none opposing and none abstaining.

         Thereafter, the Purchase Agreement was amended to provide for the sale
of certain additional assets for a price of $450,000 paid by the execution by
the Company of a promissory note in that amount.

         The assets acquired by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
as amended, consisted of machinery and equipment, vehicles, computer equipment,
furniture and fixtures, well equipment, land leases, intangible drilling costs
and stock of United Petroleum Corp., a public company. The book value of these
assets was $1,752,000 at the time of the acquisition. The 4,000,000 shares of
the Company's stock given as consideration for those assets had a market value,
at that time, of $1,000,000 based upon a bid price of $.25 as reported by the
National Quotation Bureau. The total cost of these assets to the Company,
including the $450,000 note, was $1,450,000.

         On May 2, 1995, in connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement, Jeffrey D. Jenson, Kathleen L. Morrison and

                                      32

Travis T. Jenson resigned as directors and executive officers of the Company and
the following individuals were appointed to serve as directors in their stead:
George E. Walter, Jr.; Raymond E. Johnson; Jack E. Earnest; Edgar G. Baugh;
Walter C. Arzonetti; Charles N. Manhoff; Joe B. Mattei; William A. Moffett; John
O'Hagan; and Benton L. Becker. George E. Walter, Jr. was also appointed
President/CEO of the Company, and James C. Walter was appointed Vice President
and Secretary/Treasurer. None of the retiring directors had received
compensation in excess of $100,000 prior to May 2, 1995.

         As compensation for services rendered and to be rendered to the
Company, including services relating to the Purchase Agreement, on May 2, 1995,
the Company also executed three written compensation agreements (the
"Compensation Agreements") providing for the issuance of a total of 505,000
"unregistered" and "restricted" shares of common stock to the following
individuals: M. E. Ratliff, Jeffrey D. Jenson; and Leonard W. Burningham, Esq.

         The Compensation Agreements of Messrs. Ratliff and Jenson provided for
the issuance of 215,000 and 240,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" post-split
shares (the one for two reverse split was not effected until May 4, 1995),
respectively, to these individuals as compensation for services valued by the
Company at $21,500 each. Initially, Mr. Ratliff was to receive the same number
of shares as Mr. Jenson; however, he agreed to reduce the number of shares he

was to receive by 25,000 shares, with the additional shares being allocated as
part of the shares of common stock to be issued to Mr. Burningham under one of
the Compensation Agreements, as outlined below. The shares issued to Mr. Jenson
who is a non-affiliate, may be sold without restriction at any time after May 4,
1997. The shares issued to Mr. Ratliff, who may be deemed an affiliate, may not
be sold until such time as the Company becomes a reporting company in accordance
with the Rules of the Commission.

         The Compensation Agreement of Mr. Burningham provided for the issuance
of 50,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" post-split shares of common stock as
compensation for legal services rendered and to be rendered to the Company,
exclusive of costs. These services were valued by the Company at $5,000. The
shares owned by Mr. Burningham, who is not an affiliate, became free trading on
May 4, 1997 pursuant to Rule 144 of the Rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         Effective December 31, 1995, IRC agreed to accept 164,266
"unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's common stock, with a
market value of $5.37 per share on such date, as full payment for debt of
approximately $882,112.25 of the Company to IRC. This debt included the note for
$450,000 plus advances of $403,613 made by IRC in 1995, for use as working
capital; for payment of salaries; for the acquisition of leases (approximately
100 leases at a cost of $4 per acre); for expert evaluations; and

                                      33


<PAGE>



for legal services. These shares represented approximately 3% of the outstanding
shares of the Company. The price was determined based upon the average trading
price for shares of common stock of the Company on the OTC Bulletin Board as of
December 31, 1995. See, "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management", for information regarding the voting securities of the Company
owned by IRC.

         At the annual meeting of stockholders held January 30, 1996, the
following persons were elected as directors of the Company, to serve until the
next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company or until their successors
are elected and qualified, or their prior resignations or terminations: Walter
C. Arzonetti; Benton L. Becker; Charles N. Manhoff, William A. Moffett, and Lyle

General

         In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired from
IRC the following properties:

             (i)  a 100% working interest in 41 oil and gas leases on a total of
8,058 acres, more or less, and a 25% working interest on one lease of 462 acres,
more or less, located in Clay County, Kentucky (collectively, the "Beech Creek
Leases"). Each of these leases provides for a landowner royalty of 12.5% of the
oil produced and saved from the leased premises or, at the lessee's option, to
pay the market price for such 12.5% royalty. The leases also provide for a
landowner royalty equal to 12.5% of the market price at the well of the gas sold
or used off the premises, except for injection for secondary recovery of oil.
The lessors are also entitled to free gas for all stoves and inside lights in
the principal dwelling house on the leased properties by making connection to
the well or wells at their own expense and risk. The Beech Creek Leases are also

subject to overriding royalties ranging from 1.25% to 5%.

              (ii)  a 100% working interest in 5 oil and gas leases on a total
of 741 acres, more or less, located in Clay County, Kentucky (collectively, the
"Wildcat Leases"). Each of these leases is subject to a 12.5% landowner royalty,
on the same terms as the Beech Creek Leases, and a 3.125% overriding royalty.

              (iii)  a 100% working interest in six oil and gas leases on a
total of 744 acres, more or less, located in Clay County, Kentucky
(collectively, the "Burning Springs Leases"). Each of these leases is subject to
a 12.5% landowner royalty, on the same terms as the Beech Creek Leases and the
Wildcat Leases, and overriding royalties ranging from 3.125% to 7.5%.

              (iv)  a 100% working interest in nine oil and gas leases on a
total of 2,121 acres, more or less, located in Fentress County, Tennessee
(collectively, the "Fentress County Leases"). Each of these leases is subject to
a 12.5% landowner royalty, on the same terms as the above referenced leases, and
a 19% overriding royalty; and a 25% overriding royalty on one existing well.
Section 60-1-301 of the Tennessee Code provides for a severance tax of 3% on all
gas and oil removed from the ground in Tennessee.

         The initial term of each of the above referenced leases ranges from one
year to four years, with each lease to remain in effect thereafter for as long
as (i) oil, gas, casing-head gas or

                                      35


<PAGE>



casing-head gasoline is being produced on the leased premises, (ii) the Company
has drilled a producing well and shut-in royalty is paid for the right to
inject, store and remove gas, or (iii) the Company commences drilling another
well or paying rentals within one year of drilling a dry hole on the leased
premises.

         For those leases that are subject to a rental requirement, the
obligation to pay rent becomes applicable only when no well has been commenced
on the leased premises by that date. Rent may be paid annually or quarterly, and
once it has been paid, the Company has the right to defer the commencement of a
well for the period for which the rent was paid. Rent amounts vary from $1 to $5
per acre per year, with certain leases providing for a flat rental payment of
$1500.

         The Beech Creek Leases contain four wells. These four wells have been
tested and management believes they are capable of producing gas in paying
quantities. Flow lines have been laid to connect these wells to the gas
transmission system of Wiser Oil Co., however, the wells are not presently in
production.

         The Wildcat Leases have no wells at this time. The Company intends to
evaluate the potential of this lease block in 1997 and to schedule promising

locations for future drilling. Wiser Oil Company and Somerset Gas, two of the
oil purchasers in the area, have lines running on or adjacent to the lease
block.

         The Burning Springs Leases contain a total of 11 gas wells, all of
which are shut-in. Several of the wells were in production in 1996 and were
hooked up to a nearby Southern Gas Company transport line. At present, the wells
are not producing since the compressors and related equipment have been moved to
the Swan Creek leases where, it is anticipated, the wells will be more
profitable. The Company intends to evaluate the wells that are listed as shut-in
for possible workover or deepening potential; after the evaluation, they will be
either reworked or plugged.

         The Fentress County Leases currently have one well, which is shut-in.
The well will require additional work to initiate production.

         Following the completion of the Purchase Agreement, the Company
acquired a 100% working interest in 210 oil and gas leases on a total of 30,367
acres more or less, located in Hancock, Claiborn County, Tennessee
(collectively, the "Swan Creek Leases"). Each of these leases provides for a
landowner royalty of 12.5%, leaving the Company a net royalty interest of 87.5%
in each lease.

         The term of these leases is similar to the terms set forth above with
respect to the leases acquired from IRC.

         There are five existing wells on the Swan Creek Leases.

                                      36


<PAGE>



All of these wells have been completed and will be available for production as
soon as the pipeline is completed. The first two wells have recently tested at
4.8 million cubic feet and 1.2 million cubic feet, respectively, of gas per day.

         The Company also acquired a 100% working interest in four oil and gas
leases on a total of 1,003.19 acres, more or less, located in Lauderdale County,
Alabama (collectively, the "Alabama Leases"). Each of these leases provides for
a landowner royalty of 12.5%, leaving the Company a net royalty interest of
87.5% in each lease.

         The Alabama Leases have no existing wells. These leases will be
designated for wildcat purposes and there is no immediate plan to acquire
additional leases in the area or to begin an exploration program.

         The term of these leases is similar to the terms described above with
respect to the leases acquired from IRC.

The obligation to pay rent becomes applicable only when no well has been
commenced on the leased premises by that date. Rent may be paid annually
or quarterly, and once it has been paid, the Company has the right to
defer the commencement of a well for the period for which the rent was
paid. Rent amounts are $1 per acre per year.

         Substantial additional evaluation and remedial work will be necessary
in order to determine whether most of the Company's wells will be able to
produce oil and gas in paying quantities and to make them produce in such
quantities. The Company's ability to perform these operations will depend to a
great degree on its ability to raise sufficient funding to develop its leases,
as to which no assurance can be given. Nor can any assurance be given that if
the Company is able to obtain such funding, it will be able to produce oil and
gas in profitable quantities.

Governmental Regulations

         The Company is subject to numerous state and federal regulations,
environmental and otherwise, that may have a substantial negative effect on its
ability to operate at a profit. For a discussion of the risks involved as a
result of such regulations, see, "Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental
Regulations on Business" and "Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental
Laws" hereinafter in this section.

Principal Products or Services and Markets

         The Company will conduct exploration and production activities
to produce crude oil and natural gas. The principal markets for these
commodities are local refining companies, major natural gas transmission
pipeline companies, local utilities and private industry end users, which
purchase the crude oil, and natural gas pipeline companies, which purchase the
gas. There are currently two gas transmission lines that run through the Beech
Creek Leases; these lines can be accessed to sell gas produced from the leases.
There are two more transmission lines within approximately two miles of these
leases.

         In Hancock County, gas production from the Swan Creek Leases will be
delivered into the major transmission line of East Tennessee Natural Gas. At the
present time, there is no completed pipeline from these leases to the East
Tennessee Natural Gas pipeline. The Company is in the process of constructing
such a pipeline which is approximately 70% completed and is expected to be
completed during the last quarter of 1997. The pipeline will be approximately 23
miles long and is made of 8 inch steel pipe. The cost to date has been
approximately $1,500,000. Completion is expected to cost approximately an
additional $700,000. The Company has acquired all necessary regulatory approvals
and 99% of necessary property rights to complete this pipeline. It anticipates
having the remaining property rights within two months. The Company's pipeline

will not only service the Company's wells, but, will provide transportation of
gas for small independent producers in the local area as well. It is anticipated
that direct sales could also be made to some local towns and industries. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to produce a sufficient
quantity of crude oil or natural gas to make these operations profitable.

Reserve Analyses

         Coburn Petroleum Engineering of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has performed reserve
analyses of all the Company's productive leases. R. W. Coburn, a registered
petroleum engineer, and the owner of Coburn Petroleum Engineering, has no
interest in the Company or IRC, and performed these services at his standard
rate ($90 per hour was billed and paid for these reports). The net reserve
values used hereafter were obtained from a report dated June 18, 1997 prepared
by Coburn Petroleum Engineering. In substance, the report, used estimates of oil
and gas reserves based upon standard petroleum engineering methods which include
decline curve analysis, volumetric calculations, pressure history, analogy,
various correlations and technical judgment. Information for this purpose was
obtained from owners of interests in the areas involved, state regulatory
agencies, commercial services, outside operators and files of Coburn Petroleum
Engineering.

                                      38


<PAGE>



         Discounting the net reserve values by 10% results in a present value of
$33,874,577 for the Swan Creek Field, $5,929,992 for the Beech Creek Leases,
$996,280 for the Fentress County Leases and $547,248 for the Burning Springs
Leases. Reserve analyses are at best speculative, especially when based upon
limited production; no assurance can be given that the reserves attributed to
these leases exist or will be economically recoverable. See, "Risk Factors" -
"Uncertainty of Reserve Estimates."

         It is standard in the industry for reserve analyses such as these to be
used as a basis for financing of drilling costs. Thus, based upon the reserve
analyses for the Swan Creek leases, Enserch has agreed to provide funds for
drilling in that field.

Distribution Methods of Products or Services

         Crude oil is normally distributed in this area by tank truck and
natural gas is distributed and transported via pipeline. Gas purchasers in the
area include Delta Natural Gas Company, Inc., Wiser Oil Company, Southern Gas
Company of Delaware, Inc., Somerset Gas and East Tennessee Natural Gas. Delta
and Wiser operate a gas gathering system that runs through the center of the
Company's Beech Creek leases. The existing Beech Creek wells have been tied into
the Wiser Oil Company system in anticipation of future production. The Burning
Springs wells are connected to Southern Gas Company's gathering system.

         Should the Company decide to use transmission lines owned by other

businesses, it will have to negotiate the prices to be paid with the owner of
that transmission line, provided capacity is available. There can be no
assurance that prices can be negotiated which will enable the Company to sell
its products profitably.

         Oil from the Fentress County Leases will be stored in a tank battery
consisting of two 210 barrel tanks while awaiting shipment by tank truck.

         Gas production from the Swan Creek Leases will go into the East
Tennessee Natural Gas transmission system through use of the pipeline presently
under construction by the Company, as described above.

         The Company has no farmout agreements with any entity.

Status of Any Publicly Announced New Product or Service

         The Company does not have any publicly announced new product or
service.

                                      39

Competitive Business Conditions, Competitive Position in the Industry and
Methods of Competition

         The Company's contemplated oil and gas exploration activities in the
States of Kentucky and Tennessee will be undertaken in a highly competitive and
speculative business atmosphere. In seeking any other suitable oil and gas
properties for acquisition, the Company will be competing with a number of other
companies located in the State of Kentucky and elsewhere, including large oil
and gas companies and other independent operators with greater financial
resources. Management does not believe that the Company's initial competitive
position in the oil and gas industry will be significant.

         At the local level, the Company has only two competitors in the area of
its acreage blocks in the State of Kentucky, who are: Equitable Resources and
Ashland Oil. Its principal competitors in the State of Tennessee are Ashland Oil
and Miller Services; and in the State of Alabama are Engineering Development
Corp. and Torch Operating Co. In the area of the Company's pipeline, the Company
is in a favorable position since it will own the only pipeline within a 20 mile
radius. Within that area, the Company owns leases on approximately 30,367 acres.
In addition, remaining landowners will find it difficult to deal with any other
oil and gas companies since such companies will not have access to a pipeline.
Geological studies indicate the existence of many possible productive fields in
the area of the Company's pipeline.

         Management does not foresee any difficulties in procuring drilling rigs
or the manpower to run them in the area of its operations. The experience of
management has been that in most instances, drilling rigs have only a one or two
day waiting period; however, several factors, including increased competition in

the area, may limit the availability of drilling rigs, rig operators and related
personnel and/or equipment; such an event may have a significant adverse impact
on the profitability of the Company's operations.

         The Company anticipates no difficulty in procuring well drilling
permits which are obtained from the Tennessee Oil and Gas Board. They are
usually issued within one week of application. The Company generally does not
apply for a permit until it is actually ready to commence drilling operations.
The Company presently has five well drilling permits for use anywhere in
Tennessee.

         The prices of the Company's products are controlled by the world oil
market and the United States natural gas market; thus, competitive pricing
behaviors are considered unlikely; however, competition in the oil and gas
exploration industry exists in the form of competition to acquire the most
promising acreage blocks and obtaining the most favorable prices for
transporting the product. Management believes that the Company is
well-positioned

                                      40


<PAGE>



in these areas because of the transmission lines that run through and adjacent
to the properties it leases and because it holds relatively large acreage blocks
in what management believes are promising areas.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
and Names of Principal Suppliers

         Excluding the development of oil and gas reserves and the production of
oil and gas, the Company's operations are not dependent on the acquisition of
any raw materials. See, "Competitive Business Conditions, Competitive Position
in the Industry and Methods of Competition" set forth above.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

         The Company will be dependent on local purchasers of hydrocarbons in
the areas where its properties are located for sales of its products. The five
purchasers in the areas of the Company's operations are Wiser, Southern, Delta,
Somerset and East Tennessee Natural Gas. The only customers with which the
Company has a written contract are Hawkins County Utilities and Powell Valley
Electric Cooperative. Those entities have agreed to purchase gas from the
Company's Hancock County fields upon completion of the pipeline. It is
anticipated that sales to Hawkins County Utilities will amount to approximately
4,000 MCF per day. Sales to Powell Valley Electric Cooperative are to be
determined at a future date.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions,
Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration


         Royalty agreements relating to oil and gas production are standard in
the industry. The amount of the Company's royalty payments varies from lease to
lease. See, the heading "General" under this section. The amounts of the
royalties on each of the Company's leases may be obtained from the Company.

Need for Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services

         None of the principal products or services offered by the Company
require governmental approval; however, permits are required for drilling oil or
gas wells. See, "Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on
Business " below in this

                                      41


<PAGE>



section.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business

         Exploration and production activities relating to oil and gas leases
are subject to numerous environmental laws, rules and regulations. The Federal
Clean Water Act requires the Company to construct a fresh water containment
barrier between the surface of each drilling site and the underlying water
table. This involves the insertion of a seven-inch diameter steel casing into
each well, with cement on the outside of the casing. The cost of compliance with
this environmental regulation is approximately $10,000 per well.

         The State of Kentucky also requires oil and gas drillers to obtain a
permit for their activities and to post with the Division of Oil and Gas of the
Kentucky Department of Minerals and Mines (the "Kentucky Division") a bond to
ensure that each well is properly plugged when it is abandoned. These bonds are
based on $1 per foot, Each of the Kentucky wells has a $5,000 bond which was
originally posted by IRC and remains in place. The Kentucky Division will retain
the bond until the subject wells are plugged.

         The State of Tennessee also requires the posting of a bond to ensure
that the Company's wells are properly plugged when abandoned. A separate $2,000
bond is required for each well drilled. The Company currently has a $10,000 bond
on deposit with the State of Tennessee. See, "Description of Property" -
"Disclosure of Oil and Gas Operations" below.

         The State of Alabama also requires the posting of a bond to ensure that
the Company's wells are properly plugged when abandoned. A single-well bond,
which varies between $5,000 and $50,000, depending upon well depth, or a blanket
bond of $100,000, may be obtained for wells drilled on-shore. At the present
time, the Company does not have plans to drill any wells in the State of
Alabama.

         The Company's operations are also subject to laws and regulations
requiring removal and cleanup of environmental damages under certain

circumstances. Laws and regulations protecting the environment have generally
become more stringent in recent years, and may in certain circumstances impose
"strict liability," rendering a corporation liable for environmental damages
without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such corporation. Such laws
and regulations may expose the Company to liability for the conduct of
operations or conditions caused by others, or for acts of the Company which were
in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. The
modification of existing laws or regulations or the adoption of new laws or
regulations relating to environmental matters could have a material

                                      42


<PAGE>



adverse effect on the Company's operations. In addition, the Company's existing
and proposed operations could result in liability for fires, blowouts, oil
spills, discharge of hazardous materials into surface and subsurface aquifers
and other environmental damage, any one of which could result in personal
injury, loss of life, property damage or destruction or suspension of
operations.

         The Company believes it is presently in compliance with all applicable
federal, state or local environmental laws, rules or regulations; however,
continued compliance (or failure to comply) and future legislation may have an
adverse impact on the Company's present and contemplated business operations.

         At Board of Directors' meetings held June 6 and 7, 1995, the Board of
Directors adopted resolutions to form an Environmental Response Policy and
Emergency Action Response Policy Program; this program has not yet been
implemented, and will entail an analysis of specific operations.

         The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the existing
environmental laws, rules and regulations to which the Company's business
operations are subject, and there are many others, the effects of which could
have an adverse impact on the Company. Future legislation in this area will no
doubt be enacted and revisions will be made in current laws. No assurance can be
given as to what effect these present and future laws, rules and regulations
will have on the Company's current and future operations.

Research and Development

         The Company has not expended any material amount in research and
development activities during the last two fiscal years. Research done in
conjunction with its exploration activities will consist primarily of running
radiometric surveys on the lease blocks and conducting geological research on
the surface. This work will fall under the job description of the geologist to
be hired for these activities and will not have a material cost of anything more
than his or her standard salary. See, Number of Total Employees and Number of
Full-Time Employees" set forth below in this section.

Cost and Effects of Compliance With Environmental Laws


         See, "Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on
Business" set forth above in this section.

                                      43


<PAGE>



Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees

         The Company presently has ten full-time employees and eight part-time
employees. When it commences its full-scale oil and gas operations, the Company
plans to add additional full-time employees, exclusive of executive officers.

         The Company has hired a full-time geologist at a salaryof $40,000 per
year. His duties for the Company include: surface and sub-surface geology, log
correlation, surface and sub-surface mapping, field--research (i.e.,
radiometric, gravity, magnetic and geochemical research) and well-site geology.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS or PLAN of OPERATION

         The Company intends to commence full scale development of its Swan
Creek Leases. The Swan Creek structure is confirmed at the surface on geologic
quadrangle maps showing the Clinchport thrust fault controlling the structure.
Additionally, the structure is verified at depth by the successful drilling of
the Reed #1 and Sutton #1, completed in the early 1980s. The Reed #1 and Sutton
#1 could be expected to cumulatively produce approximately six billion cubic
feet of gas at an initial rate of approximately 3,500,000 cubic feet per day.
The Reed #1 tested at 4,800,000 cubic feet per day of gas in the Knox Formation
on a 32/64 inch choke. The well exhibited a flowing pressure of 800 psi during
the test. The Sutton #1 well is two miles to the northeast of the Reed well.
This well tested 1,200,00 cubic feet per day on a 32/64 inch choke, with a
flowing pressure of 150 psi. Management's assertions with respect to the
capacity of these wells is based upon engineering reports and confirmation of
estimates based upon the results from the completed wells.

         The Company's present plans call for the drilling of approximately
fifty additional wells on the Swan Creek leases over a two to three year period
at a cost of approximately $225,000 per well. Completion of the pipeline
presently being constructed by the Company and which is necessary in order for
the Company to be able to sell its gas is anticipated by the end of 1997 at a
cost of approximately $750,000.

         Thereafter, the Company plans to construct two extensions to its
pipelines so as to enable it to exploit other leases which are part of the Swan
Creek leases. These extensions which will be approximately 40 miles in length
will cost approximately $4,000,000. The Company's ability to expand its
operations in this manner is dependent upon the success of the Company's
drilling program. Moreover, no assurance can be given that the Company will be
able to obtain the required rights of way to construct any such


                                      44


<PAGE>



pipeline, and the pipeline currently under construction will only serve
production from a portion of the Swan Creek Field.

         The Company does not have the funds needed to enable it to complete the
pipeline and to conduct its planned drilling activities. It is engaged in
discussions with certain entities and anticipates that it will be able to
acquire the necessary funds.

         Exploitation of the other leases held by the Company is being placed on
hold at the present time.

         The sales price for gas is determined on the basis of an index used by
all suppliers and users of gas. The price fluctuates between $2.50 per MCF and
$4.50 per MCF, usually higher during the cold weather months. The cost of
production from the well averages approximately $.22 per MCF. Transportation
costs are approximately $.40 per MCF which includes amortization of the
pipeline. In addition, the Company anticipates receiving revenue from third
parties who desire to use the pipeline.

         To date, the Company has not drilled any dry wells.

         There can be no assurance, of course, that all of the funding
necessary for the completion of the wells will become available. It is
anticipated that the Company will implement development programs on the Beech
Creek and Fentress County Leases sometime in the future The Swan Creek Leases
are being given first priority because of their higher economic attractiveness.

         Management anticipates both short term and long term increases in oil
and gas prices which should have a positive effect on the Company's income and
profits.

         The Company has no plans, at present, to increase the number of its
employees significantly.

Other Significant Plans

         The Company also intends to actively pursue the gas marketing
business on the Eastern seaboard. The Eastern seaboard, and Tennessee in
particular, has numerous industrial end users of natural gas that are currently
exposed to a limited number of gas suppliers. The Company has entered into an
agreement with Enserch Energy Services, Inc. ("Enserch") pursuant to which the
Company and Enserch will market each other's product in Tennessee.

         In addition to an active drilling program the Company intends to
continue strategically acquiring leases in promising areas in the States of
Kentucky and Tennessee. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able
to identify or acquire any such leases or that if it does acquire any such

leases, they will be

                                      45


<PAGE>



profitable.

         This plan of operation is based upon many variables and estimates, all
of which may change or prove to be other than or different from information
relied upon.

Results of Operations

         Effective May 2, 1995, and pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, the
Company acquired certain oil and gas-leases, equipment, marketable securities
and vehicles, from IRC. Following the completion of this transaction, the
Company changed its domicile to the State of Tennessee on May 5, 1995. Prior to
the completion of this Purchase Agreement, the Company had been inactive from
1993, and had little or no assets or operations. The assets reflected as being
owned on December 31, 1995, were all primarily acquired from IRC.

         During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company had revenues of
$26,253 as compared with revenues of $28,526 for the year ended December 31,
1995. The revenues resulted from the sale of gas. The Company has shut in the
wells which produced that gas, transferring some of the equipment to the Swan
Creek lease in anticipation of the completion of the pipeline.

         Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense increased from $89,528
for 1995 to $133,187 for 1996 as a result of the fact that the Company did not
acquire its assets from IRC until May, 1995 so that there were only seven months
of depreciation during 1995.

         Unrealized holding losses on marketable equity securities ($593,792 in
1995) were a one-time event and were not incurred in 1996.

         General and administrative expense also increased substantially during
the same periods as the result of the addition of four full time employees and
salaried executive officers, and increased rental for new executive offices
which were leased in January, 1996.

         Interest expense increased from $32,594 to $145,302 in 1996 due to the
amortization of long-term debt discounts associated with certain stock warrants
granted in connection with such debt.

         The increase in net loss from operations during the year ended December
31, 1996 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995 was due primarily to
the increased general and administrative expense, offset somewhat by the
non-recurrence of losses on marketable equity securities.

                                      46



<PAGE>



         The Company had no revenues during the six month period ending June 30,
1997 since it shut in the wells which it had been operating in 1996 in order to
concentrate on the pipeline and the Swan Creek leases.

Liquidity

         Loans in the aggregate total of $882,112 were advanced by IRC, a
related party and an "affiliate" of the Company during the year ended December
31, 1995, and 164,266 "unregistered" and "restricted" shares of the Company's
common stock were issued as of December 31, 1995, in full payment of this
indebtedness.

         Revenues from operations during the year ended December 31, 1996 and
the six months ended June 30, 1997 were insufficient to fund the Company's
operations. The Company has relied upon loans of $1,000,000 from third parties
in 1996 and a loan of $750,000 from a third party in 1997 to fund its
activities. In addition, during 1996, loans of approximately $941,000 were
advanced by IRC and $110,350 by Michael E. Ratliff. These loans plus accrued
interest were satisfied by the issuance of 101,146 shares of the Company's
common stock to IRC and 13,320 shares to Michael E. Ratliff.

         In 1997, IRC advanced $323,005 to the Company, Michael E. Ratliff
advanced $12,000 and Tracmark, Inc., a subsidiary of IRC, advanced $133,420.
These loans, plus accrued interest, were satisfied by the issuance of 59,328
shares of the Company's common stock to IRC, 2,204 shares to Michael E. Ratliff
and 24,552 shares to Tracmark, Inc. The Company anticipates meeting its
operating needs for 1997 by means of its agreement with Enserch.

         During the first quarter of 1996, the Company sold 166,667 shares of
stock it had acquired from IRC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for $250,000;
received $91,119 from the exercise of options; and $280,690 from a private
placement of stock.

         These revenues and loans accounted for substantially all of
the Company's liquidity during this year.

                           DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Property Location, Facilities, Size and Nature of Ownership

         The Company holds oil and gas leases on the following properties
located near Manchester, Kentucky: (i) 8,058 acres in the Beech Creek Leases;
(ii) 744 acres in the Wildcat Leases; and (iii) 741 acres in the Burning Springs
Leases.  The Company also

                                      47



<PAGE>



holds leases on 2,121 acres in Fentress County, Tennessee, near Jamestown. There
are currently two producing wells on the Tennessee acreage, only one of which is
owned by the Company. Additionally, the Company holds leases on 30,363 acres in
Hancock County, Tennessee, and 1,003.19 acres in Lauderdale County, Alabama. The
initial terms of these leases varies from one to four years. Many of them can be
extended at the option of the Company by payment of annual rent. Some of them
will terminate unless the Company has commenced drilling. However, the Company
does not anticipate any difficulty in continuing those leases, particularly in
Hancock County, since the Company's pipeline will be the only means available to
landowners in that area to sell any gas produced from wells on their property.
See, "Description of Business" "General" above.

         The Beech Creek Leases provide for a landowner royalty of 12.5% of the
oil produced and saved from the leased premises or, at the lessee's option, to
pay the market price for such 12.5% royalty. The leases also provide for a
landowner royalty equal to 12.5% of the market price at the well of the gas sold
or used off the premises, except for injection for secondary recovery of oil.
The lessors are also entitled to free gas for all stoves and inside lights in
the principal dwelling house on the leased properties by making connection to
the well or wells at their own expense and risk. The Beech Creek Leases are also
subject to overriding royalties ranging from 1.25% to 5%.

         The Wildcat Leases provide for a 12.5% landowner royalty, on the same
terms as the Beech Creek Leases, and a 3.125% overriding royalty.

         The Burning Springs Leases are subject to a 12.5% landowner royalty, on
the same terms as the Beech Creek Leases and the Wildcat Leases, and overriding
royalties ranging from 3.125% to 7.5%.

         The Fentress County Leases are subject to a 12.5% landowner royalty, on
the same terms as the above referenced leases, and a 19% overriding royalty; and
a 25% overriding royalty on one existing well. Section 60-1-301 of the Tennessee
Code provides for a severance tax of 3% on all gas and oil removed from the
ground in Tennessee.

Disclosure of Oil and Gas Operations

         On May 2, 1995, upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement with IRC,
the Company acquired the rights to certain oil and gas leases in the
State of Kentucky (the "Beech Creek Leases," "Wildcat Leases" and
"Burning Springs Leases") and the State of Tennessee (then "Fentress
County Leases"). Subsequently, the Company also acquired additional
acreage in Tennessee (the "Swan Creek Leases") and in Alabama (the
"Alabama Leases"). See, "Description of Business" - "Business
Development" and "General" above.

         The Company was not engaged in the business of oil and gas exploration
and development prior to the date of the IRC Purchase Agreement. IRC, the entity
from which the Company acquired certain of these properties, drilled four wells
on the Beech Creek Leases in the past three years. All of these wells are
capable of producing gas in paying quantities, according to tests run on the
wells. IRC also drilled a well on one of the Fentress County Leases; this well
is currently shut in and awaiting a workover.

         Eleven wells on the Burning Springs leases are currently shut-in. There
are two completed wells on the Swan Creek leases, the Reed #1 and the Sutton #1,
which discovered and proved the structure in the early 1980s. These wells have
recently tested at 4,800,000 and 1,200,000 cubic feet of gas per day. The
Company has drilled three additional wells in 1996. Development of the Swan
Creek Field will require the completion of the pipeline to deliver gas to a
transmission company with the tie-in point being located approximately 23 miles
away from the field. The pipeline is approximately two-thirds completed and is
expected to be complete by the end of the year.

         Tests to date on the completed wells on the Swan Creek leases indicate
substantial potential for future deliverability. Based upon engineering reports,
management believes that the wells drilled to date have a life expectancy of
approximately 37 years on a declining basis.

         The Company does not pay any taxes on its leased property and does not
carry any insurance on the vacant land.

         The Alabama Leases have no existing wells. These leases are "wildcat"
explorations and there is no immediate plan to acquire additional leases in the
area or to begin an exploration program.

         No estimate of total, proved net oil or gas reserves has been filed
with or included in reports to any federal authority since the beginning of the
Company's last fiscal year.

                  The Company is currently not a party to any contract or
agreement obligating it to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or
gas in the future, but anticipates entering into such contracts for delivery of
gas commencing as early as December, 1997.

           MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY and RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

         The Company's common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the
NASD; however, the market for shares of the Company's common stock was extremely
limited until the closing of the Purchase Agreement with IRC in May of 1995. No
assurance can be given that the present market for the Company's common stock
will continue or will be maintained, and the sale of the Company's unregistered
and "restricted" common stock pursuant to Rule 144 by IRC or others as outlined
under the heading "Risk Factors" above, may have a substantial adverse impact on
any such public market. See, "Risk Factors" - "Future Sales of Common Stock."

         The Company's common stock has been listed on the OTC Bulletin Board
since the quarter ended March 31, 1994. The high and low bid prices for shares
of common stock of the Company since that period ( including inter-dealer

Pension Table

         The Company does not presently have a pension or similar plan for its

directors, executive officers or employees. Management intends to adopt a 401(k)
plan and full liability insurance for directors and executive officers and a
health insurance plan for employees in the near future.

Other Compensation

         On April 11, 1995, the Board of Directors resolved that each member of
the Board of Directors would receive compensation in the form of an option to
purchase 100,000 "unregistered" and "restricted" post-split shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $0.25 per share. Pursuant to a resolution
of the Board of Directors on May 2, 1995, the exercise price of such options was
increased to $0.275 per share, which amount was then equal to 110% of the
average bid prices for the Company's common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on
the date of the grant.

         Commencing on May 4, 1995, certain other officers and consultants were
induced to serve as executive officers or consultants of the Company in
consideration of the grant of a similar option, and these options were ratified
by the Board of Directors at meetings held June 6 and 7, 1995, in Nashville,
Tennessee. At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors which was held on
January 30, 1996, immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders, the
Board of Directors also granted certain other directors, executive officers,
consultants and employees options to acquire shares of the Company's
"unregistered" and "restricted" shares of common stock of the Company.

         The following table sets forth the names of the optionees, the
number of shares granted and the beginning and e expiration dates of the options
granted:

Compensation of Directors

         The Board of Directors has resolved to compensate members of the Board
of Directors for attendance at meetings at the rate of $250 per day, together
with direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attendance at the meetings,
including travel.

           Members of the Board of Directors may also be requested to perform
consulting or other professional services for the Company from time to time. The
Board of Directors will set a rate of compensation for such services which may
be no less favorable to the Company than if the services had been performed by
an independent third party contractor. The Board of Directors has reserved to
itself the right to review all directors' claims for compensation on an ad hoc
basis.

Employment Contracts

         There are presently no employment contracts relating to any member of
management, however, depending upon the Company's operations and Requirements,
the Company may offer long term contracts to directors, executive officers or
key employees in the future.

Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangement

         None; not applicable.

                CHANGES IN and DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
                    ON ACCOUNTING and FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Change from David T. Thomson, CPA to Charles M. Stivers, CPA


         David T. Thomson, Certified Public Accountant, of Salt Lake City, Utah,
audited the financial statements of Onasco Companies, Inc. (the Company's
predecessor) for the year ended December 31, 1994. This financial statement
accompanies this Prospectus.

         Charles M. Stivers, Certified Public Accountant, of Manchester,
Kentucky, was engaged as the Company's accountant on May 4, 1995, and reviewed
interim unaudited financial statements of the Company prepared by management.

         There were no disagreements between the Company and Mr.

                                      59


<PAGE>

Thomson, whether resolved or not resolved, on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which, if not resolved, would have caused him to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with his report.

         The report of Mr. Thomson for the past two fiscal years did not contain
any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

         The decision to change principal accountants was not submitted for
approval to the Board of Directors; the change was made by the Company's
President to Mr. Stivers because Mr. Stivers was the accountant who audited the
cost basis of the principal assets of the Company acquired from IRC pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement in May of 1995, and the Company had little or no
operations prior to the completion of the Purchase Agreement.

         Also, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and since
then, Mr. Thomson has not advised the Company that any of the following exist or
are applicable:

         (1)      That the internal controls necessary for the Company to 
                  develop reliable financial statements do not exist, that 
                  information has come to his attention that has led him to no 
                  longer be able to rely on management's representations, or 
                  that has made him unwilling to be associated with the
                  financial statements prepared by management,

         (2)      That the Company needs to expand significantly the scope of 
                  its audit, or that information has come to his attention that 
                  if further investigated may materially impact the fairness or 
                  reliability of a previously issued audit report or the 
                  underlying financial statements or any other financial
                  presentation, or cause him to be unwilling to rely on 
                  management's representations or be associated with the 
                  Company's financial statements for the foregoing reasons or 
                  any other reason; or

         (3)      That he has advised the Company that information has come to 

                  his attention that he has concluded materially impacts the 
                  fairness or reliability of either a previously issued audit 
                  report or the underlying financial statements for the 
                  foregoing reasons or any other reason.

         Further, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years and
since then, the Company has not consulted Mr. Thomson regarding the application
of accounting principles to a specified

                                      60


<PAGE>



transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements or any other financial
presentation whatsoever.

         The Company has provided Mr. Thomson with a copy of the
disclosure provided under this caption of the Prospectus, and he has provided
the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating that he agrees
with the disclosures made herein.

Change from Charles M. Stivers. CPA. to Price-Bednar, LLP, CPA

         Price-Bednar, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, were engaged
as the Company's accountants as of February 22, 1996, to audit the financial
statements of the Company for the calendar year ending December 31, 1995.

         There were no disagreements between the Company and Mr.
Stivers, whether resolved or not resolved, on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which, if not resolved, would have caused him to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with his unaudited reports.

         The unaudited reports of Mr. Stivers did not contain any
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

         The decision to change principal accountants was submitted for
approval to the Board of Directors; the change was made to Price-Bednar because
the Company was seeking to find a larger accounting firm with more in-depth
experience in Commission filings.

         Also, during the Company's most recent fiscal year, and since
then, Mr. Stivers has not advised the Company that any of the following exist or
are applicable:

         (1)      That the internal controls necessary for the Company to 
                  develop reliable financial statements do not exist, that 
                  information has come to his attention that has led him to no 
                  longer be able to rely on management's representations, or 

                  that has made them unwilling to be associated with the
                  financial statements prepared by management,

         (2)      That the Company needs to expand significantly the scope of 
                  its audit, or that information has come to his attention that 
                  if further investigated may materially impact the fairness or 
                  reliability of a previously issued audit report or the 
                  underlying financial statements or any other financial

                                      61

                  presentation, or cause him to be unwilling to rely on

Change from Price-Bednar, LLP, CPA to Charles M. Stivers, CPA

         The Company had engaged the services of another accountant to
complete certain preparatory on-site audit activities for preliminary review by
Price-Bednar. These services were not timely provided by the other accountant.
Also, many of the records of Industrial Resources Corporation, a predecessor of
the Company, were unavailable, and, Price-Bednar required a number of these
records to be reconstructed prior to its completion of the audit. During the
week of May 20, 1996, the Company was advised that the principal accountant of
Price-Bednar, who was responsible for the Company's audit, would be out of town
for the following week, and it became clear that Price-Bednar would not be able
to complete the audit for at least three weeks, because certain information
requested by them had not yet been provided by the Company. Price-Bednar was
terminated by the President, effective June 7, 1996, and Charles M. Stivers,
CPA, who had been engaged to conduct the preparatory on-site audit activities
for Price-Bednar when the other accountant failed to perform as promised,

indicated that he could timely deliver the required audit report and was
promptly engaged to do so by the Board of Directors.

         Also, during, the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and
since then, Price-Bednar has not advised the Company that any of the following
exist or are applicable:

         (1)      That the internal controls necessary for the

                  led them to no longer be able to rely on management's 
                  representations, or that has made them unwilling to be 
                  associated with the financial statements prepared by 
                  management;

         (2)      That the Company needs to expand significantly the scope of 
                  its audit, or that information has come to their attention 
                  that if further investigated may materially impact the 
                  fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report 
                  or the underlying financial statements or any other financial
                  presentation, or cause them to be unwilling to rely on 
                  management's representations or be associated with the

Change from Charles M. Stivers, CPA, to BDO Seidman,LLP

         The Company terminated Charles M. Stivers, CPA and retained
BDO Seidman, LLP effective to conduct the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 because it became apparent that

Charles M. Stivers, as an individual practitioner, would not be able to perform
the required audit on a timely basis.

         During, the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and since
then, Charles M. Stivers has not advised the Company that any of the following

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
ONASCO COMPANIES, INC.
(Formerly Gold Deposit Mining and Milling Company)

I have audited the balance sheets of Onasco Companies, Inc. (Formerly Gold
Deposit Mining and Milling Company) (a development stage company) as of
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows from November 1, 1991 to December 31,
1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audits. The financial statements of Onasco
Companies, Inc. and its Subsidiary as of October 31, 1991 and from
development stage inception (October 17, 1991) to October 31, 1991 were
audited by other auditors whose reports dated November 6, 1991 and November
18, 1991 expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.

I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I 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 statements presentation. I believe that my audits provide
a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Onasco Companies, Inc.
as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows from November 1, 1991 to December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the
Company is in the development stage and its ability to establish itself as
a going concern is dependent upon the Company obtaining sufficient
financing to continue its development activities and, ultimately, to
achieve profitable operations (See Note 8). These items raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE OPERATIONS

Although the Company was organized in 1916, it must be regarded as being in
a formative stage due to its lack of significant business operations during
recent years. Its future success depends upon the ability to operate its
existing wells and to expand its operations. No assurance can be given that
the Company will be successful in making acquisitions.

5. GOING CONCERN.

The Company has experienced startup losses for the year ended December 31,
1994. In light of this circumstance, the ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern may be in doubt. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants


Board of Directors
Tengasco, Inc
Knoxville, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Tengasco,
Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Tengasco, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of
December 31, 1996, management estimates that additional costs of
approximately $l,200,000 are required to complete its pipeline facilities
under construction. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary of                          Organization 
   Significant Accounting 
   Policies                            Tengasco, Inc. (the "Company"), a
                                       publicly held corporation, was organized
                                       under the laws of the State of Utah on
                                       April 18, 1916, as Gold Deposit Mining
                                       and Milling Company. The Company
                                       subsequently changed its name to Onasco
                                       Companies, Inc.

                                       On May 2, 1995, pursuant to a Purchase
                                       and Exchange Agreement, the Company
                                       acquired from Industrial Resources
                                       Corporation, a Kentucky corporation
                                       ("IRC"), certain oil and gas leases,
                                       equipment, marketable securities and
                                       vehicles in exchange for common stock
                                       (see Note 3).

                                       The Company changed its domicile from the
                                       State of Utah to the State of Tennessee
                                       on May 5, 1995 and its name was changed
                                       from "Onasco Companies, Inc." to
                                       "Tengasco, Inc."

                                       The Company's principal business consists
                                       of oil and gas well drilling, production
                                       and related property management in the
                                       Appalachian region of eastern Tennessee
                                       and eastern Kentucky. The Company's
                                       corporate offices are in Knoxville,
                                       Tennessee.

                                       During 1996, the Company formed Tengasco
                                       Pipeline Corporation, a wholly-owned
                                       subsidiary, to manage the construction
                                       and operation of a 23-mile gas pipeline.

                                       Consolidation

                                       The consolidated financial statements
                                       include the accounts of the Company and
                                       Tengasco Pipeline Corporation. All
                                       significant intercompany balances and
                                       transactions have been eliminated.


                                       Cash Equivalents

                                       The Company considers all investments
                                       with a maturity of three months or less
                                       when purchased to be cash equivalents.

                                       Oil and Gas Properties

                                       The Company follows the full cost method
                                       of accounting for oil and gas property
                                       acquisition, exploration and development
                                       activities. Under this method, all
                                       productive and nonproductive costs
                                       incurred in connection with the
                                       acquisition of, exploration for and
                                       development of oil and gas reserves for
                                       each cost center

                                               (formerly Onasco Companies, Inc.)


                                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                       are capitalized. Capitalized costs
                                       include lease acquisitions, geological
                                       and geophysical work, delay rentals and
                                       the costs of drilling, completing and
                                       equipping oil and gas wells. Gains or
                                       losses are recognized only upon sales or
                                       dispositions of significant amounts of
                                       oil and gas reserves. Proceeds from all
                                       other sales or dispositions are treated
                                       as reductions to capitalized costs.

                                       The capitalized costs of oil and gas
                                       properties, plus estimated future
                                       development costs relating to proved
                                       reserves and estimated costs of plugging
                                       and abandonment, net of estimated salvage
                                       value, are amortized on the
                                       unit-of-production method based on total
                                       proved reserves. The costs of unproved
                                       properties are excluded from amortization
                                       until the properties are evaluated,
                                       subject to an annual assessment of
                                       whether impairment has occurred. The

                                       costs of significant development projects
                                       awaiting completion of pipeline
                                       facilities are excluded from amortization
                                       until such time as the pipeline 
                                       facilities are completed. The Company's
                                       proved gas reserves were estimated by
                                       Coburn Petroleum Engineering, independent
                                       petroleum engineers, as of December 31,
                                       1996.

                                       The capitalized oil and gas property and
                                       pipeline costs, less accumulated
                                       depreciation, depletion and amortization
                                       and related deferred income taxes, if
                                       any, are generally limited to an amount
                                       (the ceiling limitation) equal to the sum
                                       of: (a) the present value of estimated
                                       future net revenues computed by applying
                                       current prices in effect as of the
                                       balance sheet date (with consideration of
                                       price changes only to the extent provided
                                       by contractual arrangements) to estimated
                                       future production of proved oil and gas
                                       reserves, less estimated future
                                       expenditures (based on current costs) to

                                       Pipeline facilities under construction
                                       are carried at cost. The Company will

                                       third quarter of 1997. Accordingly, no
                                       depreciation expense has been recorded
                                       for 1996 and 1995 relating to the
                                       pipeline facilities.

                                       Property and Equipment

                                       Property and equipment are carried at
                                       cost. The Company provides for
                                       depreciation of property and equipment
                                       using the straight-line method over the
                                       estimated useful lives of the assets
                                       which range from five to seven years.

                                       Other Assets

                                       Other assets consist principally of
                                       deferred loan costs that the Company is
                                       amortizing over the term of the
                                       respective loans, which is six months.

                                       Income Taxes

                                       The Company accounts for income taxes in
                                       accordance with Statement of Financial
                                       Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
                                       for Income Taxes" which requires the use
                                       of the "liability method." Accordingly,
                                       deferred tax liabilities and assets are
                                       determined based on the temporary
                                       differences between the financial
                                       statement and tax bases of assets and
                                       liabilities, using enacted tax rates in
                                       effect for the year in which the
                                       differences are expected to reverse.

                                       Concentration of Credit Risk

                                       The Company's primary business activities
                                       include oil and gas sales to several
                                       customers in the states of Tennessee and
                                       Kentucky. The related trade receivables
                                       subject the Company to a concentration of
                                       credit risk within the oil and gas
                                       industry.

                                       Loss Per Common Share

                                       Loss per share amounts are computed by
                                       dividing net loss by the weighted average
                                       number of common shares outstanding
                                       during the year. Common stock equivalents
                                       have not been considered because their
                                       effect would be anti-dilutive.

                                       Accounting Estimates

                                       The accompanying financial statements are
                                       prepared in conformity with generally
                                       accepted accounting principles which
                                       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. The actual results
                                       could differ from those estimates.

                                       Fair Values of Financial Instruments

                                       Fair values of cash and cash equivalents
                                       and short-term debt approximate cost due
                                       to the short period of time to maturity.
                                       Fair values of long-term debt are based
                                       on quoted market prices or pricing models
                                       using current market rates.

                                       Significant Risks and Uncertainties

                                       The Company's operations are subject to
                                       all of the environmental and operational
                                       risks normally associated with the oil
                                       and gas industry. The Company maintains
                                       insurance that is customary in the
                                       industry; however, there are certain
                                       risks for which the Company does not
                                       maintain full insurance coverage. The
                                       occurrence of a significant event that is
                                       not fully covered by insurance could have
                                       a significant adverse effect on the
                                       Company's financial position.

                                       New Accounting Pronouncements


                                       On March 3, 1997, the Financial
                                       Accounting Standards Board issued
                                       Statement of Financial Accounting
                                       Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share
                                       (SFAS 128). This pronouncement provides a
                                       different method of calculating earnings
                                       per share than is currently used in
                                       accordance with Accounting Principles
                                       Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per
                                       Share. SFAS 128 provides for the
                                       calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted"
                                       earnings per share. Basic earnings per
                                       share includes no dilution and is
                                       calculated by dividing income available
                                       to common shareholders by the weighted
                                       average number of common shares
                                       outstanding for the period. Diluted
                                       earnings per share reflects the potential
                                       dilution of securities that could share
                                       in the earnings of an entity, similar to
                                       fully diluted earnings per share. The
                                       Company will adopt SFAS

                                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                       128 in 1997 and its implementation is not
                                       expected to have a material effect on the
                                       consolidated financial statements.

2. Going Concern                       The Company has experienced losses 
                                       totaling $1,761,064 and $1,246,481 for
                                       the years ended December 31, 1996 and
                                       1995, respectively, and has a working
                                       capital deficit of $1,065,711 at December
                                       31, 1996. These matters raise substantial
                                       doubt about the Company's ability to
                                       continue as a going concern. In addition,
                                       as of December 31, 1996, management
                                       estimates that additional costs of
                                       approximately $1,200,000 are required to
                                       complete its pipeline facilities under
                                       construction. Management's plans include
                                       raising additional capital in order to
                                       complete the pipeline facilities and

                                       drill additional oil and gas wells. In
                                       addition, the Company is seeking joint
                                       venture partners to assist in the sales
                                       and marketing of its energy services (see
                                       Note 14). The accompanying financial
                                       statements do not include any adjustments
                                       relating to the recoverability and
                                       classifications of recorded asset
                                       amounts or the amounts and
                                       classifications of liabilities that might
                                       be necessary should the Company be unable
                                       to continue as a going concern.

3.  Business Acquisition               Effective May 2, 1995, the Company 
                                       acquired approximately 60% of the assets
                                       of IRC in a reverse acquisition in which
                                       IRC's stockholders acquired voting
                                       control of the Company. The acquisition
                                       was accomplished through the Company's
                                       issuance of 4,000,000 shares of Tengasco,
                                       Inc. common stock and a $450,000 8%
                                       promissory note payable to IRC. The
                                       promissory note was converted into 83,799
                                       shares of Tengasco, Inc. common stock in

4. Related Party Transactions          The Company has loans payable due to 
                                       affiliates aggregating $48,190. A major
                                       stockholder of the Company is also a
                                       major stockholder of the affiliates. The
                                       loans bear interest at the rate of 8% per
                                       annum and are due on demand.

                                       During 1996, the Company converted
                                       approximately $1,060,000 of debt payable

                                       and common stock subscribed (see Note
                                       15). The Company also converted
                                       approximately $100,000 of debt payable to
                                       a major stockholder to common stock
                                       subscribed (see Note 15).

                                       lower of cost or market. The marketable
                                       securities were acquired in the Purchase
                                       and Exchange Agreement with IRC on May 2,
                                       1995 and consisted of 500,000 shares of
                                       United Petroleum Corporation stock. The
                                       United Petroleum Corporation stock had a
                                       one-for-three reverse stock split on June
                                       13,1995 which left the Company with
                                       166,667 shares. The marketable securities
                                       were written down to market in 1995,
                                       resulting in a loss of approximately
                                       $594,000. The United Petroleum
                                       Corporation stock was sold in January
                                       1996 for $250,000.

                             -----------------------------------------------

                             Evaluated costs excluded from
                             amortization at December 31, 1996 consist
                             of approximately $730,000 of costs
                             relating the Company's Swan Creek
                             development project which is awaiting the
                             completion of a gas pipeline expected to
                             be completed in the third quarter of 1997.

7.  Pipeline  Facilities     During the fourth quarter of 1996, the 
    Under Construction       Company began construction of a 23-mile gas
                             pipeline which will (1) connect the Swan Creek
                             development project to a gas purchaser
                             and (2) enable the Company to develop gas
                             transmission business opportunities in
                             the future. 

                             As of December 31, 1996, management
                             estimates the costs to complete the
                             pipeline are approximately $l,200,000.

                             In January 1997, the Company entered into
                             an agreement with the Tennessee Valley
                             Authority ("TVA") whereby the TVA will
                             allow the Company to bury the pipeline
                             within the TVA's transmission line 
                             rights-of-way. In return for this right,
                             the Company paid $35,000 plus agreed to
                             annual payments of approximately $6,200
                             for 20 years. This agreement expires in
                             2017 at which time the parties may renew
                             the agreement for another 20 year term in
                             consideration of similar inflation-adjusted 
                             payment terms.

                                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                       In conjunction with the issuance of the
                                       notes payable listed above, the Company
                                       granted the lenders detachable stock
                                       warrants which enable the holder to
                                       obtain up to 200,000 shares of the
                                       Company's common stock at a price of $5
                                       per share.

                                       (A) These notes had not been repaid as
                                       of the above noted due dates. As noted
                                       in (C) below, the Company has filed a
                                       claim against the lenders.

                                       (B) In March 1997, the individual note
                                       holder (above) filed a lawsuit asserting
                                       the Company was in default of the
                                       $250,000 note. This action seeks the
                                       principal amount, interest, and costs of
                                       collection. No additional costs have

                                       been accrued in the accompanying
                                       consolidated financial statements in
                                       connection with this lawsuit. Management
                                       believes it has certain defenses to this
                                       motion as noted in (C) below.

                                       (C) Also in March 1997, the Company
                                       filed a claim against the above three
                                       lenders and a former officer of the
                                       Company asserting that the Company did
                                       not authorize the issuances of certain
                                       stock warrants related to the borrowings
                                       and seeking rescission of the warrant
                                       agreements. The Company is disputing
                                       the validity of the stock warrant
                                       agreements based upon certain provisions
                                       which were not authorized by the board
                                       of directors. If the Company is
                                       unsuccessful in its attempt to rescind
                                       these stock warrant agreements, these
                                       provisions could result in the lenders
                                       obtaining additional shares.

                                       The Company recorded a valuation
                                       allowance at December 31, 1996 and 1995
                                       equal to the excess of deferred tax
                                       assets over deferred tax liabilities as
                                       management is unable to determine that
                                       these tax benefits are more likely than
                                       not to be realized.

                                       As of December 31, 1996, the Company had
                                       net operating loss carryforwards for
                                       federal income tax purposes of
                                       approximately $l,995,000 which will
                                       expire, if not utilized, as follows:

                                              Year            Amount
                      ----------------------------------------------------------

                                              2011          1,449,000
                      ----------------------------------------------------------
                                              Total        $1,995,000
                      ----------------------------------------------------------

                                       Additionally, at December 31, 1996, the
                                       Company has a capital loss carryforward
                                       of approximately $594,000 which will
                                       expire, if not offset against a capital
                                       gain, in 2001.

14.  Subsequent Events                 In May 1997, the Company entered into a
                                       term loan with an individual for
                                       aggregate proceeds of $l,000,000 which
                                       the Company will receive at various
                                       times in the second and third quarters
                                       of 1997. The Company provided the lender
                                       with 100,000 shares of common stock as a
                                       loan origination fee. The loan, which
                                       is due December 31, 1997, bears interest
                                       at 11% per annum and is secured by
                                       equipment owned by a major shareholder
                                       of the Company. IRC is serving as
                                       guarantor on the loan facility. In
                                       conjunction with the loan agreement, the
                                       lender has an option to purchase 300,000
                                       shares of the Company's common stock
                                       from IRC.

                                       reserves represent the estimated 
                                       quantities of crude oil and natural gas
                                       which geological and engineering data
                                       demonstrate with reasonable certainty to
                                       be recoverable in the future years from
                                       known reservoirs under existing economic
                                       and operating conditions. The reserve
                                       information indicated below requires
                                       substantial judgment on the part of the
                                       reserve engineers, resulting in estimates
                                       which are not subject to precise
                                       determination. Accordingly, it is
                                       expected that the estimates of reserves
                                       will change as future production and
                                       development information becomes available
                                       and that revisions in these estimates
                                       could be significant.

                                       Estimated future net cash flows
                                       represent an estimate of future net
                                       revenues from the production of proved
                                       reserves using current sales prices,
                                       along with estimates of the operating
                                       costs, production taxes and future
                                       development and abandonment costs (less
                                       salvage value) necessary to produce such
                                       reserves. The average prices used at
                                       December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $19.10
                                       and $17.00 per barrel of oil and $2.94
                                       and $l.91 per mcf of gas, respectively.
                                       No deduction has been made for
                                       depreciation, depletion or any indirect
                                       costs such as general corporate overhead
                                       or interest expense.

                                       Operating costs and production taxes are
                                       estimated based on current costs with
                                       respect to producing gas properties.
                                       Future development costs are based on
                                       the best estimate of such costs assuming
                                       current economic and operating
                                       conditions.

                                       Income tax expense is computed based on
                                       applying the appropriate statutory tax
                                       rate to the excess of future cash
                                       inflows less future production and
                                       development costs over the current tax
                                       basis of the properties involved, less
                                       applicable carryforwards, for both
                                       regular and alternative minimum tax.


                                       The future net revenue information
                                       assumes no escalation of costs or
                                       prices, except for gas sales made under
                                       terms of contracts which include fixed
                                       and determinable escalation. Future
                                       costs and prices could significantly
                                       vary from current amounts and,
                                       accordingly, revisions in the future
                                       could be significant.

                                   PART II

                    INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

             Item 24 - INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS


                  Section 48-18-502 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act
(the "Act") authorizes a Tennessee corporation to indemnify any director against
liability incurred in a legal proceeding if (i) he or she conducted himself or
herself in good faith; and (ii) he or she reasonably believed that his or her
conduct was in the best interest of the company or, if the conduct was not
undertaken in his or her official capacity, that it was not opposed to the
company's best interests. In the case of a criminal proceeding, the director
must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section 48-18-502 in
connection with a proceeding "by or in the right of the corporation in which the
director was adjudged liable to the corporation" or in connection with any other
proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him or her, in which he or she
was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she improperly received a personal
benefit.

                  Unless limited by its charter, Section 48-18-503 of the Act
requires a corporation to indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a
party because of his or her role as director against reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the proceeding. The Company's charter does not
provide any limitations on this right of indemnification.

                  Pursuant to Section 48-18-504 of the Act, the Company may
advance a director's expenses incurred in defending any proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking and a statement of the director's good faith belief that he or
she has met the standard of conduct described in Section 48-18-502.

                  Section 48-18-505 permits a court, upon application of a
director, to order indemnification if it determines that the director is
entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 48-18-503 or that be or she
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not he or she
met the standards set forth in Section 48-18-502.

                  Section 48-18-506 limits indemnification under Section
48-18-502 to situations in which either (i) the majority of a disinterested
quorum of directors; (ii) independent special legal counsel; or (iii) the
stockholders determine that indemnification

                                     II-1


<PAGE>


is proper under the circumstances.


                  Unless the corporate charter provides otherwise, Section
48-18-507 extends the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to
officers, employees and agents. The Company's corporate charter does not provide
for any limitations on these rights of indemnification.

                  Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee or agent
has the right to indemnity under Section 48-18-502 or Section 48-18-503, Section
48-18-508 allows the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on his or
her behalf against liability resulting from his or her corporate role.

                  Section 48-18-509 provides that the rights to indemnification
and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
under any bylaw, agreement, stockholder vote or vote of disinterested directors;
however, no indemnification may be made where a final adjudication adverse to
the director establishes his or her liability for breach of the duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders or for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.

                  The Company is seeking bids from insurance companies to
provide Directors' and Executive Officers' Insurance, and has adopted the
provisions of the Act.

            ITEM 25 - OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE and DISTRIBUTION

                  The following table sets forth the estimated costs and
expenses to be borne by the Company in connection with the Offering described in
the Registration Statement other than underwriting commissions and discounts.

Legal Fees and Expenses                      $10,000.00

                                             ----------
                  Total                      $28,005.18

assistance of a personal representative, could accurately evaluate the risks and
merits attendant to an investment in the securities of the Company. Further, all
such persons were provided with access to all material information regarding the
Company, prior to the offer or sale of these securities, and each had an
opportunity to ask of and receive answers from directors, executive officers,
attorneys and accountants for the Company. The offers and sales of the foregoing
securities are believed to have been exempt from the registration requirements
of Section 5 of the 1933 Act, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and
from similar state securities laws, rules and regulations covering the offer and
sale of securities by available state exemptions from such registration.

                            ITEM 28 - UNDERTAKINGS

                  The Company hereby undertakes:

                    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to:

                      (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) 
of the Act;

                      (ii) Reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events which 
individually or together represent a fundamental change in the information in
the Registration Statement; and

                      (iii) Include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution.

                    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of
the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be
the initial bona fide offering.

                    (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from 
registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.

                                     II-7



<PAGE>


                  The Company hereby undertakes:

                    (1) For determining any liability under the Act, treat the
information omitted from the form prospectus filed as part of this Registration
Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed
by the Company under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(n) under the Act as part of
the Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

                    (2) For determining liability under the Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and the offering of the securities as that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.

                  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defenses of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     2.3 The Surviving Corporation shall thereupon and thereafter possess all
the rights, privileges, powers and franchises as well of a public as of a
private nature, and be subject to all of the restrictions, disabilities and
duties of Onasco; and all and singular, the rights, privileges, powers and

limitation, the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible and liable to
dissenting stockholders of Onasco; and any action or proceeding whether civil,
criminal or administrative, pending by or against Onasco, shall be prosecuted as

authorizations of Onasco and its stockholders, Board of Directors, committees
elected or appointed by the Board of Directors, officers and agents, which were
valid and effective immediately prior to the effective time of the Plan, shall

authorizations of the Surviving Corporation and shall be as effective and
binding thereon as the same were with respect to Onasco. The employees of Onasco
shall become the employees of the Surviving Corporation and continue to be
entitled to the same rights and benefits which they enjoyed as employees of
Onasco.

recorded on the books of the Surviving Corporation at the amounts at which they,
respectively, shall then be carried on the books of Onasco, subject to such
adjustments or eliminations of intercompany items as may be appropriate in
giving effect to the Plan.

     2.6 The Articles of Incorporation of Tengasco shall be the Articles of
Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; and the Bylaws of Tengasco shall
become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.


     2.7 All of the present directors and executive officers of Onasco shall be
designated directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation to
serve in the same capacities until the next annual meetings of the stockholders
and directors and until their respective successors are elected and qualified,
or their prior resignation or termination.

Knoxville, Tennessee 37902


                           Re: Tengasco, Inc.

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Tengasco, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the
"Registration Statement"), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the purpose of registering an aggregate of 384,368 shares (the
"Shares") of common stock, $.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") owned
by certain shareholders (collectively the "Selling Shareholders") of the Company
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

         As counsel for the Company, we have examined and are familiar with the
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, and all amendments
thereto. We are also familiar with the form of the Company's stock certificate,
as well as all corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the
authorization of the issuance of its Common Stock. Throughout such examination
we have assumed the genuineness of signatures and accuracy and conformity to
original documents of all copies of documents supplied to us. As to questions of
fact material to the opinion expressed herein, we have, when relevant facts were
not independently determinable, relied upon information furnished to us by
officers and directors of the Company or their duly authorized agents or
employees.

         Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares
have been duly executed and delivered and the consideration therefor
duly paid, and such Shares are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and owned by the Selling Shareholders.

<PAGE>

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                        Robson & Miller, LLP

     hypothecate or make any other disposition of any interest in the shares
     being acquired except as may be pursuant to any applicable securities laws,
     rules and regulations.

Re:               Proposed acquisition of assets of Industrial Resource
                  Corporation, a Tennessee corporation ("Industrial"), by Onasco
                  Companies, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Onasco")

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Recently, you forwarded me a retainer in the amount of $5,000 for legal
fees to be rendered in connection with the above referenced matter. Please be
advised that I represent Onasco in connection with this proposed transaction,
regardless of the fact that you have paid these fees; one of the conditions of
Onasco to this proposed transaction was that you pay my fees, which will amount
to $10,000, plus approximately $1,500 in costs, which should cover new stock
certificates, filing fees and transfer fees.

     I am enclosing herewith a copy of the Notice of Special Meeting of
Stockholders of Onasco set for April 28, 1995; preliminary drafts of the

Purchase Agreement have been forwarded to you, and, subject to review by the
respective Boards of Directors of Industrial and Onasco, the Purchase Agreement
can be concluded prior to April 28.

     On Closing, you will be required to pay the additional $6,500.

     You are urged to have your own counsel review all documentation prepared
and submitted to you for your review.

     It is my understanding that once the Purchase Agreement is concluded and
your nominees are designated to serve on the Board of Directors of Onasco, then
to be known as "Tengasco," you wish me to prepare a Confidential Limited
Offering Memorandum pursuant to which you may offer "unregistered" and
"restricted" securities of Tengasco, and a Form 10-SB Registration Statement for
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


<PAGE>


Page 2
April 19, 1995

     Fees for each of these projects can run up to $15,000, for an aggregate
total of $30,000.

     I am willing to prepare both of these documents for the sum of $22,500,
which will include all broker agreements, investor questionnaires, subscription
agreements, escrow agreements and other related instruments, minutes or consents
required for the Memorandum, with the exception of compliance with applicable
Blue Sky laws, rules and regulations, which will be billed at a rate of $350 per
state in which these securities are to be offered, and if no exemption is
available in any such state, at a rate of $l75 per hour if you require
registration, plus the actual filing fee required by any such state; and all
documents, minutes or consents required or necessary to complete and file the
Form 10-SB Registration Statement, through all Securities and Exchange
Commission comments.

     I will require one-half of this amount to be paid in advance, together with
$2,500 for direct costs and expenses I may incur for deposit in my trust
account.

     The sooner I receive this retainer and deposit, the sooner I can begin.


                                        Yours very sincerely,

               Companies, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Onasco"), and fee
               arrangements for services to be rendered as outlined in my letter
               under date of April 19, 1995

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The following is my understanding of the fee arrangements to which you and
Onasco are agreeable, regarding my services related to the acquisition of
assets, the preparation of a limited offering memorandum (the "Memorandum") and
the preparation of a registration statement of Form 10-SB of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement."

     First, I have been paid the sum of $5,000 in cash for services related to
the acquisition, and I will receive 25,000 post-split shares of common stock of
Onasco under a written compensation agreement and in conformance with Rule 701
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, following the one for two reverse
split that is contemplated to be completed at a stockholders' meeting set for
April 28, 1995.

     I will receive $6,500 today, $5,000 of which will be for services related
to the Memorandum and all related documents and agreements as outlined in my
letter of the 19th, with the exception that all "blue sky" fees and costs
outlined in my letter will also be paid as such services are rendered. The
$1,500 shall be for unallocated costs related to the acquisition, including
federal express, filing fees for the Articles of Amendment the Certificate of
Merger to change the domicile of Onasco to Tennessee, printing of new stock
certificates and transfer fees related to the acquisition, but excluding mailing
costs of any stockholders' letter.

April 27, 1995

     Additionally, I will receive 25,000 post-split shares under Rule 701 for
the preparation of the Registration Statement, with you to pay all filing fees
and my related direct out-of-pocket costs, including copies, federal express and
the like.

     I will prepare the necessary written compensation plan for your review and
acceptance. This letter is being addressed to you because your designees will be
assuming control of Onasco following the completion of the acquisition, and a
copy thereof is being forwarded to Onasco.

     If you have any questions, please contact me.


                              Yours very sincerely,

                                  10.0 QUALITY

Seller agrees that the gas delivered hereunder at the point of delivery
specified in Section 4.1 will, upon delivery: 

10.1 Have a total heating value of not less than one thousand (1,000) Btu's per
cubic foot;

10.2 Be commercially free from dust, hydrocarbon liquids, water and any other
substance that might become separated from the gas in Buyer's facilities, and
Seller shall furnish, install and maintain and operate such drips, separators,
heaters and other mechanical devices as may be necessary to effect compliance
with such requirements;

10.3 Not contain more than twenty (20) grains of total sulfur, nor more than 1/4
of one grain of hydrogen sulfide per one hundred (100) cubic feet;

10.4 Not contain more than ten (10) parts per million by volume of oxygen, and
Seller shall make every reasonable effort to keep the gas totally free of
oxygen.

10.5 Not contain more than four percent (4%) by volume of a combined total of
carbon dioxide and nitrogen components; provided, however, that the total carbon
dioxide content shall not exceed three percent (3%) by volume.

10.6 Have a temperature of not more than one hundred (100) degrees Fahrenheit.

10.7 All gas shall have been dehydrated by Seller for removal of entrained water
present therein in a vapor state, and in no event contain more than seven (7)
pounds of entrained water per million cubic feet, at a pressure base of fourteen
and seventy three (14.73) pounds per square inch and a

                                       6

<PAGE>

temperature of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit as determined by dew-point
apparatus approved by the Bureau of Mines or such other apparatus as may be
mutually agreed upon.

10.8 As to gas which fails to meet the quality specifications set forth above,
Buyer, in addition to any legal remedies it may have, shall have the right to
refuse delivery of such gas.


                    11.0 STANDARDS FOR MEASUREMENT AND TESTS

11.1 A purchase/sales meter shall be installed, maintained and operated by
Seller at the point of delivery to measure all gas sold and/or delivered for
transportation or displacement under this agreement. The volume shall be
measured by orifice meters with linear charts, twenty-four (24) hour rotation,
or other mutually agreeable measuring devices installed and operated, and
computations made as prescribed in Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 of the
American Gas Association, as such report may be amended or revised from time to
time.

11.2 The unit of volume for purposes of measurement shall be one (1) cubic foot
of gas at a temperature base of sixty degrees (60) Fahrenheit and at a pressure
base of fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per square inch
absolute.

11.3 Temperature shall be determined by a recording thermometer, when
applicable, with twenty-four (24) hour chart rotation continuously used and
installed so as to record properly the temperature of the gas flowing through
the meter. The arithmetical average of the hourly temperatures recorded during
each day shall be used to calculate volumes hereunder.

11.4 Specific gravity shall be determined with accuracy to the nearest
one-thousandth (0.001) by taking samples of the gas at the point of measurement
at such times as may be designated by the parties hereto, but not more often
than once each month and having the specific gravity determined by the use of
the Acme Senior Gravity Balance, or any other instrument mutually agreed upon.

11.5 The total heating value of the gas shall be determined by joint tests made
by taking samples of gas at the point of delivery but not more than once each
month. Such samples to have the Btu content per cubic foot determined by: (1)
chromatographic analysis; or, (2) by calculation of gross heating value by
compositional analysis. Buyer and Seller may mutually agree to utilize other

                                       7

<PAGE>

acceptable industry methods for determination of heating value. The Btu content
shall be determined for a cubic foot of gas at a temperature of sixty degrees
(60) Fahrenheit and a pressure of fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73)
pounds per square inch absolute on a dry basis.

11.6 Tests to determine sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen and water content shall be made by approved standard methods in general
use by the gas industry. Such tests shall be made at the request of either
party. The cost of such test are to be paid by the requesting party.

11.7 The accuracy of the measuring and testing equipment shall be verified at
least once each year and at other times upon request of Buyer or Seller. Tests
for quality of the gas may be made at the time of testing equipment or at other
times, but not more often than once each month. Notice of the time and nature of
each test shall be given to the other party sufficiently in advance to permit
convenient arrangement for a representative to be present. Tests and adjustments

shall be made in the presence of and observed by representatives of both Buyer
and Seller. All tests shall be made by Buyer at Buyer's expense, except that
Seller shall bear the expense of tests made at its request.

11.8 If at any time any of the measuring or testing equipment is found to be out
of service or registering inaccurately in any percentage, it shall be adjusted
at once to read accurately, within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer. If
such equipment is out of service, or inaccurate by an amount exceeding two
percent (2%) at a reading corresponding to the average rate of flow for the
period since the last preceding test, the previous readings of such equipment
shall be disregarded for any period definitely known or agreed upon, or if not
so known or agreed upon, for a period of fifteen (15 days) or one-half of the
elapsed time since the last test, whichever is shorter. The volume of gas
delivered during such period shall be estimated (i) by using the data recorded
by an check-measuring equipment, if installed and accurately registering, or, if
not installed or registering accurately, (ii) by correcting the error if the
percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, test or mathematical
calculation, or, if neither such method is feasible, (iii) by estimating the
quantity or quality delivered, based upon deliveries under similar conditions
during a period when the

                                       8

<PAGE>

equipment was registering accurately. No correction shall be made for recorded
inaccuracies of two percent (2%) or less.

11.9 Buyer and Seller shall have the right to inspect equipment installed or
furnished by the other, and the charts and other measurement or testing data of
the other, at all times during business hours, but the calibration and
adjustment of such equipment shall be done only by the party that installs or
furnishes such equipment unless otherwise agreed upon. Each party shall preserve
all original test data, charts and other similar records in such party's
possession for a period of at least two (2) years.

                           12.0 BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

12.1 On or before the 15th working day of each month after deliveries of gas are
commenced, Seller shall render to Buyer an invoice for the preceding month
showing the total volume and the gross heating value of gas delivered at the
point of delivery hereunder.

12.2 Buyer will pay Seller on or before the 25th day of each month, or as to
statements rendered after the 15th day of each month, within ten (10) days after
receipt of such statements, for gas delivered during the preceding month. If the
correct amount is not paid when due and such payment is not successfully
disputed by Buyer, interest on any unpaid amount shall accrue at the rate of
nine percent (9%) per annum. If such failure to pay continues for sixty (60)
days, Seller, in addition to all other remedies, may thereafter suspend
deliveries of gas hereunder and if such default continues for thirty (30)
additional days, Seller may thereafter, in addition to any other rights Seller
may have suspend or terminate this contract. Provided, however, if Buyer in good
faith shall dispute the amount of any such invoice or part thereof and shall pay

to Seller such amounts as it concedes to be correct and shall undertake and
guarantee to make payment to Seller of the amount ultimately found due upon such
invoice after a final determination which may be reached either by agreement or
judgment of the courts, as may be the case, then Seller shall not be entitled to
suspend or terminate this contract.

12.3 Each party shall have the right to inspect and examine at all reasonable
times the records and charts of the other party pertaining to the purchase and
sale of gas hereunder. If any overcharge or

                                       9


<PAGE>


undercharge in any amount whatsoever shall be determined within 12 months from
the date of the invoice and the invoice therefor has been paid, Seller shall
refund the amount of any overcharge or Buyer shall pay the amount of any
undercharge within thirty (30) days after the final determination thereof.

                          13.0 WARRANTY OF TITLE TO GAS

13.1 Seller warrants title to all gas delivered or to be delivered hereunder,
that Seller has the right to sell the same, and that such gas is free from liens
and adverse claims of every kind. Seller will pay, or cause to be paid, all
royalties, taxes and other sums due on production, gathering, severance or
handling of the gas delivered by Seller to Buyer. Seller will indemnify and save
Buyer harmless against all loss, damage and expense of every character on
account of adverse claims to the gas delivered by it or of royalties, taxes,
payments or other charges thereon applicable before or upon delivery to Buyer.
If Seller's title is questioned or involved in any action, Buyer may thereafter
refuse without penalty to accept further deliveries from Seller and/or Buyer may
withhold payment (without interest) of sums due hereunder up to the amount of
the claim until title is free from such question or such action is finally
determined, or until such time as Seller furnishes bond conditioned to save
Buyer harmless with sureties satisfactory to Buyer.

                               14.0 FORCE MAJEURE

14.1 If either Buyer or Seller is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force
majeure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, other than the
obligation to make payments then due for gas previously delivered, it is agreed
that performance of the respective obligations of the parties hereto to deliver
and receive gas, so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be
suspended from the inception of any such inability until it is corrected but for
no longer period. The party claiming such inability shall give notice thereof to
the other party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the force

may be corrected through the exercise of reasonable diligence.

14.2 Neither party shall be liable to the other for any losses or damages,
regardless of the nature thereof and howsoever occurring, whether such losses or
damages be direct or indirect, immediate or remote, by reason of, caused by,
arising out of, or in any way attributable to the suspension of performance of
any obligation of either party to the extent that such suspension occurs because
a party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to perform its
obligations.

<PAGE>



                    11.0 STANDARDS FOR MEASUREMENT AND TESTS

     11.1 A purchase/sales meter shall be installed, maintained and operated by
Seller at the point of delivery to measure all gas sold and/or delivered for
transportation or displacement under this agreement. The volume shall be
measured by orifice meters with linear charts, twenty-four (24) hour rotation,
or mutually agreeable measuring devices installed and operated, and computations
made as prescribed in Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 of the American Gas
Association, as such report may be amended or revised from time to time.

     11.2 The unit of volume for purposes of measurement shall be one (1) cubic
foot of gas at a temperature base of sixty degrees (60 degrees) Fahrenheit and
at a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per
square inch absolute.

     11.3 Temperature shall be determined by a recording thermometer, when
applicable, with twenty-four (24) hour chart rotation continuously used and
installed so as to record properly the temperature of the gas flowing through
the meter. The arithmetical average of the hourly temperatures recorded during
each day shall be used to calculate volumes hereunder.

     11.4 Specific gravity shall be determined with accuracy to the nearest
one-thousandth (0.001) by taking samples of the gas at the point of measurement
at such times as may be designated by the parties hereto, but not more often
than once each month and having the specific gravity determined by the use of
the Acme Senior Gravity Balance, or any other instrument mutually agreed upon.


                                       7
<PAGE>


     11.5 The total heating value of the gas shall be determined by joint tests
made by taking samples of gas at the point of delivery but not more than once
each month. Such samples to have the Btu content per cubic foot determined by:
(1) chromatographic analysis; or (2) by calculation of gross heating value by
compositional analysis. Buyer and Seller may mutually agree to utilize other
acceptable industry methods for determination of heating value. The Btu content
shall be determined for a cubic foot of gas at a temperature of sixty degrees
(60 degrees) Fahrenheit and a pressure of fourteen and seventy-three (14.73)
pounds per square inch absolute on a dry basis.

     11.6 Tests to determine sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen and water content shall be made by approved standard methods in general
use by the gas industry. Such tests shall be made at the request of either
party. The cost of such tests are to be paid by the requesting party.

     11.7 The accuracy of the measuring and testing equipment shall be verified
at least once each year and at other times upon request of Buyer or Seller.
Tests for quality of the gas may be made at the time of testing equipment or at
other times, but not more often than once each month. Notice of the time and
nature of each test shall be given to the other party sufficiently in advance to
permit convenient arrangement for a representative to be present. Tests and

adjustments shall be made in the presence of and observed by representatives of
both Buyer and Seller. All tests shall be made by Buyer at Buyer's expense,
except that Seller shall bear the


                                       8
<PAGE>


expense of tests made at its request.

     11.8 If at any time of the measuring or testing equipment is found to be
out of service or registering inaccurately in any percentage, it shall be
adjusted at once to read accurately, within the limits prescribed by the
manufacturer. If such equipment is out of service, or inaccurate by an amount
exceeding two percent (2%) at a reading corresponding to the average rate of
flow for the period since the last preceding test, the previous readings of such
equipment shall be disregarded for any period definitely known or agreed upon,
or if not so known or agreed upon, for a period of fifteen (15) days or one-half
of the elapsed time since the last test, whichever is shorter. The volume of gas
delivered during such period shall be estimated (i) by using the data recorded
by any check-measuring equipment, if installed and accurately registering, of,
if not installed or registering accurately, (ii) by correcting the error if the
percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, test or mathematical
calculation, or, if neither such method is feasible, (iii) by estimating the
quantity or quality delivered, based upon deliveries under similar conditions
during a period when the equipment was registering accurately. No correction
shall be made for recorded inaccuracies of two percent (2%) or less.

     11.9 Buyer and Seller shall have the right to inspect equipment installed
or furnished by the other, and the charts and other measurement or testing data
of the other, at all times during business hours, but the calibration and
adjustment of such


                                       9
<PAGE>


equipment shall be done only by the party that installs or furnishes such
equipment unless otherwise agreed upon. Each party shall preserve all original
test data, charts and other similar records in such party's possession for a
period of at least two (2) years.

                           12.0 BILLINGS AND PAYMENTS

     12.1 On or before the 15th working day of each month after deliveries of
gas are commenced, Seller shall render to Buyer an invoice for the preceding
month showing the total volume and the gross heating value of gas delivered at
the point of delivery hereunder.

     12.2 Buyer will pay Seller on or before the 25th day of each month, or as
to statements rendered after the 15th day of each month, within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such statements, for gas delivered during the preceding month.

If the correct amount is not paid when due and such payment is not successfully
disputed by Buyer, interest on any unpaid amount shall accrue at the rate of
nine percent (9%) per annum. If such failure to pay continues for sixty (60)
days, Seller, in addition to all other remedies, may thereafter suspend
deliveries of gas hereunder and if such default continues for thirty (30)
additional days, Seller may thereafter, in addition to any other rights Seller
may have, suspend or terminate this contract. Provided, however, if Buyer in
good faith shall dispute the amount of any such invoice or part thereof and
shall pay to Seller such amounts as it concedes to be correct and shall
undertake and guarantee to make payment to Seller


                                       10
<PAGE>


of the amount ultimately found due upon such invoice after a final determination
which may be reached either by agreement or judgement of the courts, as may be
the case, then Seller shall not be entitled to suspend or terminate this
contract.

     12.3 Each party shall have the right to inspect and examine at all
reasonable times the records and charts of the other party pertaining to the
purchases and sale of gas hereunder. If any overcharge or undercharge in any
amount whatsoever shall be determined within 12 months from the date of the
invoice and the invoice therefor has been paid, Seller shall refund the amount
of any overcharge or Buyer shall pay the amount of any undercharge within thirty
(30) days after the final determination thereof.

                          13.0 WARRANTY OF TITLE TO GAS

     13.1 Seller warrants title to all gas delivered or to be delivered
hereunder, that Seller has the right to sell the same, and that such gas is free
from liens and adverse claims of every kind. Seller will pay, or cause to be
paid, all royalties, taxes and other sums due on production, gathering,
severance or handling of the gas delivered by Seller to Buyer. Seller will
indemnify and save Buyer harmless against all loans, damage and expense of every
character on account of adverse claims to the gas delivered by it or of
royalties, taxes, payments or other charges thereon applicable before or upon
delivery to Buyer. If Seller's title is questioned or involved in any action,
Buyer may thereafter refuse without penalty to accept further deliveries from
Seller and/or Buyer may withhold payment (without interest) of sums due
hereunder


                                       11
<PAGE>


up to the amount of the claim until title is free from such question or such
action is finally determined, or until such time as Seller furnishes bond
conditioned to save Buyer harmless with sureties satisfactory to Buyer.

                               14.0 FORCE MAJEURE


     14.1 If either Buyer or Seller is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by
force majeure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, other than the
obligation to make payments then due for gas previously delivered, it is agreed
that performance of the respective obligations of the parties hereto to deliver
and receive gas, so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be
suspended from the inception of any such inability until it is corrected but for
no longer period. The party claiming such inability shall give notice thereof to
the other party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the force
majeure. If such notice is first given by telephone or facsimile communication,
it shall be confirmed promptly in writing giving full particulars. The party
claiming such inability shall promptly correct such inability to the extent it
may be corrected through the exercise of reasonable diligence.

     14.2 Neither party shall be liable to the other for any losses or damages,
regardless of the nature thereof and howsoever occurring, whether such losses or
damages be direct or indirect, immediate or remote, by reason of, caused by,
arising out of, or in any way attributable to the suspension of performance of
any obligation of either party to the extent that such suspension


                                       12
<PAGE>

                           ENERGY MARKETING AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 27th day of May, 1997, by and
between Enserch Energy Services, Inc. ("Enserch"), and Tengasco ("Tengasco").

     WHEREAS; Enserch is an energy marketer with considerable experience in the
marketing of natural gas and other energy products to industrial and commercial
end-users; and

     WHEREAS; Enserch wishes to increase its retail and wholesale market share a
joint effort with Tengasco; and

     WHEREAS; Enserch has developed proprietary services and pricing programs
for its existing and potential customers and wishes to maintain same as
confidential between itself and its customers, and

     WHEREAS; Tengasco is an energy producer and marketer and has many well-
established long-term relationships with potential customers for natural gas and
other energy products in the State of Tennessee, and

     WHEREAS, Tengasco is interested in aligning itself with Enserch in order to
develop customer leads and/or referrals to help promote Enserch's and Tengasco's
natural gas marketing efforts, under a mutually beneficial arrangement,

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

                                 1. Definitions

     The term "Best Efforts" means the use of reasonable effort and due
diligence, but does not require the expenditure of unreasonable amount of money
or time.

     The term "Market Area" shall mean the State of Tennessee.

     The term "Products" shall mean natural gas, electricity, fuel oil and other
energy commodities that may be sold from time to time by either Enserch or
Tengasco.

     The term "Referred Customer(s)" shall mean those retail and wholesale Sales
Customers referred to Enserch by Tengasco wishing to enter into an agreement to
purchase Products from Enserch.

     The term "Sales Contact" shall mean (a) any contract for the sale of
Products in the Market Area between Enserch and a Sales Customer, or between
Tengasco and a Sales Customer, and (b) any contract for the sale of Products by
either party outside the Market Area if, and only if, the parties hereto
unanimously agree in writing to designate such contract as a Sales Contract for
purposes of this agreement.



                                       1


<PAGE>



     The term "Sales Customer" shall mean (a) a customer under a Sales Contract
who is an industrial and/or commercial end-user of Products and purchases
Products for its own use and does not re-sell same ("retail customer"), and (b)
a customer under a Sales Contract purchasing Products for the purposes of resale
("wholesale customer").

                                     2. Term

     This agreement shall be effective on the date first hereinabove written and
shall continue in force and effect for a primary term ending May 31, 2002. This
Agreement shall continue in effect thereafter for successive periods of one (1)
year each unless terminated by either party at the end of the primary term or at
the end of any one (1) year period thereafter by giving at least sixty (60) days
prior written notice to the other party.

                                    3. Scope

     During the term of this Agreement, either party may enter into Sales
Contracts in the Market Area without the participation of the other party.
Further, Tengasco may refer potential Sales Customers to Enserch, and Enserch
shall use its best efforts to market natural gas owned and/or controlled by
Enserch to Referred Customer(s) within the Market Area. Neither party shall have
the authority to bind the other to any agreement, and shall have no liability
associated with any Sales Contract executed by the other party.

                4. Referral Services of New Accounts by Tengasco.

     If and when Tengasco finds a Sales Customer that it desires to refer to
Enserch, Tengasco shall notify Enserch by telephone and follow-up fax
transmittal ("Notice of Potential Referred Customer" - form of notice attached
hereto as Exhibit "A"). The Notice of Potential Referred Customer shall specify
(1) The name, address, phone and fax numbers of the Sales Customer, (2) the name
and title of the customer contact, (3) the LDC(s) serving the customer, (4) the
volumes of Products required by the Sales Customer on a monthly basis, (5) the
term and pricing methodology sought by the Sales Customer, and (6) any other
material terms, and conditions for the sale (including without limitation
whether Products will required on a firm or interruptible basis). Enserch shall,
immediately upon notification of a potential Referred Customer by Tengasco,
inform Tengasco of any bona fide pre-existing relationship present between
Enserch and the potential Referred Customer pursuant to paragraph 8, below.

     Absent the existence of such a bona fide pre-existing relationship,
Tengasco shall (1) notify potential Referred Customer of Enserch's and
Tengasco's relationship and of Enserch's interest in contracting with customer
for its Products needs and (2) schedule an introductory meeting between Referred
Customer, Tengasco and Enserch.

<PAGE>


                5. Marketing of Natural Gas to Referred Customers

     Following acceptance by Enserch of a referral by Tengasco of a potential
Sales Customer, and prior to said introductory meeting, Enserch and Tengasco
shall meet, at a time and location agreeable to the parties, to perform the
following tasks:

     o    plan a sales strategy for the Referred Customer,

     o    establish parameters or limits on the terms of any Sales Contract and

     o    ascertain and agree on a recommended supply; services and pricing
          program for any new Referred Customer.

     Enserch shall be empowered to enter into its own separate Sales Contract
with the Referred Customer. Enserch will provide Tengasco with periodic progress
reports with respect to the negotiation of any Sales Contract with a Referred
Customer. If required, Enserch will negotiate directly with the Referred
Customer's Local Distribution Company, its agents and/or representatives, on
behalf of the Referred Customer with regard to the natural gas sales contract.

     Enserch reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject any
potential Referred Customer, and is accordingly not obligated to sell any
minimum quantity of gas under this Agreement. In addition, should the financial
responsibility of any Referred Customer under a Sales Contract with Enserch
become impaired or unsatisfactory to Enserch, in Enserch's reasonable judgment,
Enserch shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend deliveries
and/or terminate any Sales Contract following written notice to the Sales
Customer and Tengasco. Enserch shall provide as much notice as practicable to
the Sales Customer and Tengasco in order that the Sales Customer and Tengasco
may acquire a substitute supply arrangement.

                       6. Compensation and Administration

     6.1 Revenue Distribution. The party hereto which is named as a seller under
a Sales Contract shall pay to the other party hereto an amount equal to fifty
percent (50%) of the Transfer Price Margin, as hereinafter defined, resulting
from sales of Products under all Sales Contracts entered into by such selling
party, or fifty percent (50%) of the Adjusted Gross Profits, as hereinafter
defined, resulting from the sale of Products under Sales Contracts for which a
Transfer Price Margin is not determined in the ordinary course of business. No
payments shall be due from one party to the other hereunder with respect to the
sale of any Products for which payment has not been received by the seller
thereof

     6.2 Definitions.

     6.2.1 "Transfer Price Margin" shall be determined by Enserch, and shall

     mean, for any Sales Contract, the positive difference between (a) the sales
     price of the applicable Product established pursuant to the Sales Contract,
     deducting my direct costs (e.g. taxes,


                                       3

<PAGE>


     hedging costs and transportation) relating to making the sale which are not
     included in the offer price hereinafter described, and (b) the offer price
     for such Product determined by Enserch's risk management group through
     established procedures. Documentation reflecting the Transfer Price Margin
     shall be furnished to Tengasco not later than five (5) business days after
     the effective date of a transaction, or in the case of Sales Contracts
     entered into by Tengasco, not later then five (5) business days after the
     date Tengasco furnishes a detailed report of such Sales Contract to
     Enserch.

     6.2.2. "Adjusted Gross Profits" shall mean the amount or amounts determined
     by subtracting (a) the purchase price, if any, of the Products designated
     to any sale which is subject to the terms hereof, plus all additional
     direct costs (but not indirect costs, such as overhead) of marketing such
     Products, including, without limitation, transportation costs associated
     with movement of such Products to the delivery points and all taxes which
     the seller is required to bear in relation to such sale (except income
     taxes), from (b) the sales price the seller actually receives for such
     Products.

6.3 Net Present Value Payments. Either party may request for any executed Sales
Contract of the other party that it be paid the net present value ("NPV") of its
payments hereunder in lieu of the payments set forth above. Such request must
be made in writing. Upon receipt of such request, the parties hereto shall
attempt in good faith to agree within thirty (30) days thereafter upon the
volumes, prices, discount rate and other variable factors affecting the NPV. In
the event the parties reach such agreement, the NPV shall be paid to the party
entitled to payment within thirty (30) days thereafter. In the event the parties
fail to agree upon all the terms and conditions necessary to calculate the NPV
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice as set forth above, then the
payments due under the contract shall be made periodically as set forth above.
In the event there is a payment made for any Sales Contract on the basis of the
NPV, and thereafter there is a material adverse change in the volumes or price
of gas sold under such Sales Contract, the NPV shall be adjusted to reflect the
new price or volumes, as applicable, and the party that received the NPV payment
shall promptly refund to the other party the difference between the amount
received and the recalculated NPV, without interest.

6.4 Reports. Following execution of a Sales Contract, Enserch or Tengasco, as
applicable, will provide the other with detailed contract information and
account activity reports with respect to such Sales Contract. The costs of
negotiating, entering into and administering and performing under any and all
Sales Contracts shall be borne solely by the party selling Products thereunder,
and neither party shall be responsible for any losses on a sale that the other

party may incur.

     Each party shall be responsible for administering any and all Sales
Contracts it enters into, including without limitation, daily balancing,
billing, and general customer service.

                            7. Billings and Payments

     By the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month following each calendar
quarter in which natural gas was delivered under Sales Contracts, i.e., on or
before the 15th day of April,



                                       4


<PAGE>






July, October and January, the selling party shall provide the other hereunder
with a written statement showing the total quantities of gas sold, the Transfer
Price Margin associated with such sales and the amount due and owing the other
party with respect to such sales.

     Each shall pay to the other the stated total amount due by check, by the
twenty-fifth (25th) day of the calendar month in which the statement was
rendered, provided that if the twenty-fifth (25th) day is not a business day,
payment will be due on the next business day following that date.
Notwithstanding the above, for any billing period when money is owed by each
party to the other hereunder, the party owing the greater amount of money shall
be entitled, at its election, to effect payment by offsetting the amount due to
it by the other party against amounts due to the other party, and paying the
difference to the other party.

     Compensation will be paid to by the parties on each Sales Contract so long
as this Agreement is in force and effect and so long thereafter as said Sales
Customer has remained under a Sales Contract with Enserch or Tengasco on a
continuous and uninterrupted basis from inception of such Sales Contract.

     Both parties shall have the right at any reasonable time, but no more often
than once in any twelve(12) month period, after giving reasonable notice, to
examine the books and records of the other party to the extent necessary to
verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or payment made. If any such
examination reveals, or if either party discovers, any error or inaccuracy in
its own or the other party's statements, payments, calculations or
determinations, then adjustments and corrections shall be made as promptly as
practicable thereafter, provided however, that no adjustment or correction shall
be made on or with respect to any error or inaccuracy which is discovered more
than one (1) year after such statement, charge, computation or payment was made.


                             8. Exclusive Agreement

     The parties hereto acknowledge that this is an exclusive services agreement
and that neither party may engage in similar arrangements with other parties
within the Market Area. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any
contracts entered into by either party prior to the date hereof for the sale of
Products in the Market Area shall not be subject to the provisions hereof, and
no compensation shall be due by either party to the other hereunder with respect
thereto. Further, in the event Enserch has an established Products sales
relationship with a customer with whom Tengasco does not have an existing Sales
Contract, and who has offices outside the Market Area, and that customer has
facilities within the Market Area, then Enserch may sell Products directly to
such customer's offices in the Market Area, and Tengasco shall not be entitled
to any compensation with respect to such contract.

                                   9. Notices

     All notices sent under the Agreement must be sent by fax, with follow-up
written copy by mail. Notices should be sent to the follow designees below:

                              10. Change in Control

     In the event of a Change in Control of Tengasco, as defined in Exhibit "B",
attached hereto and made a part hereof, or in the event of a sale of all or
substantially all of Tengasco's assets, Tengasco shall, at the election of
Enserch, either (a) cause the acquiring or continuing entity of Tengasco to
assume all the obligations of this contract or (b) purchase Enserch's rights
under this contract for an amount equal to four (4) times the NPV of all Sales
Contracts entered into by Tengasco and Enserch hereunder. In the event Enserch
elects to have Tengasco purchase Enserch's rights under this contract, this

contract shall terminate, and each party hereto shall retain its rights to any
Sales Contracts under which it is a seller. Further, in the event of a sale of
all or substantially all of Tengasco's assets to an unrelated third party,
Tengasco shall notify Enserch of any bona fide offer to purchase such assets and
Enserch shall have the right of first refusal, to be exercised within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Tengasco's notice, to purchase such assets under the
same terms and conditions as are contained in such offer.

     For purposes of this Section 10 only, in the event the parties are unable
to agree upon the NPV, the matter shall be settled by a major independent public
accounting firm selected by mutual agreement of the parties. In the event the
parties cannot agree upon the selection of a major independent public accounting
firm, such firm shall be selected by Enserch from a list of four major
independent accounting firms which have not represented either Enserch, Tengasco
or their affiliates within the five year period preceding such selection. The
decision of such accounting firm shall be final and binding, and the costs
incurred in connection with retaining such accounting firm shall be shared
equally by Tengasco and Enserch.

                                11. Miscellaneous

unless reduced to writing and executed by both parties.

     11.4 The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall inure to and be

confidential by the parties hereto, except to the extant that any information
must be disclosed to a third party for the purpose of effectuating

transportation of gas subject to the terms of this Agreement or to meet New York
Mercantile Exchange requirements or regulatory filing requirements where
necessary. Further, it is recognized that in connection with performance under
this agreement, Enserch may disclose to Tengasco certain other information or
material which it considers confidential or proprietary (the "Confidential

performance under this Agreement. Tengasco shall not use Confidential
Information for any purpose other than the furtherance of the interest of the
parties hereto under this Agreement. Tengasco shall cause any employee,
professional advisor or any other individual receiving Confidential Information

     (i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning
of Section l3(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 40% or more of
either (1) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of Tengasco (also

of at least a majority of the directors constituting the Incumbent Board shall
be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board,

Gentlemen:

I was previously the auditor for Tengasco, Inc. (Formerly Onasco Companies,
Inc.) and on April 14, 1995 I reported on the financial statements of Tengasco,
Inc. at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 and the years then ended. I have read
the statements made by Tengasco, Inc. in Form SB-2, which I understand will be
filed with the Commission, with respect to the change in accountants from my
firm to Charles M. Stivers. I agree with paragraphs one, three, seven, and items
(1), (2), and (3) of paragraph six. I have little or no knowledge as to the
representations in paragraphs two and five. As to paragraph four, my opinion
dated April 14, 1995 had a paragraph added as to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

Very truly yours,

Required Future Investment..........................................$ 5,775,000

The investment figure above includes the remaining cost of building a pipeline
to the Swan Creek Field. Costs of the pipeline will be recovered by a gathering
charge accounted for by adjusting the gas price to be received by producing gas
wells in the in the Swan Creek Field. The large increase in reserves over the
report as of December 31, 1995 is due to acquisition and development of the Swan
Creek Field in Hancock County Tennessee. A discussion of this field as well as
the Burning Springs, Beech Creek, and Fentress properties has been covered in
reports previously submitted to you.

Details by properties are shown in the following tables. All of the oil and gas
properties are located in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. In the absence

best judgement was used to estimate future operating costs. Well costs are based
on drilling costs in the area.

Reserve and future performance estimates were prepared utilizing standard
petroleum engineering methods. These methods include decline curve analysis,
volumetric calculations, pressure history, analogy, various correlations and
technical judgment. Reserve definitions conform to the Securities and Exchange
Commission Guidelines.

Information was obtained from interest owners, State Regulatory Agencies,
commercial services, outside operators and our files.

Information furnished is accepted as true and correct. Changes in economic
conditions, reservoir performance, and unforeseen mechanical problems will
likely make it necessary to make future reserve revisions.
