                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB
     and Item 310 (b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all
     of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
     of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
     accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
     included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
     not necessary indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the Company's
     consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year
     ended December 31, 1997, included in Form 10- KSB, which are incorporated
     by reference herein.

2.   During the first quarter of 1998, the Company issued 25% working
     interests in three wells in the Swan Creek Field to a Director which were
     partially paid for by crediting the Director for $235,000 in placement
     fees for common stock private placements which occurred during the fourth
     quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998.

3.   On December 18, 1997, the Company entered into an asset purchase
     agreement in which certain producing oil and gas properties located in
     the state of Kansas were acquired from AFG Energy, Inc.("AFG"). The
     agreement, which was effective as of December 31, 1997, closed on March
     5, 1998. The Company paid $2,990,253 in cash and entered into a note
     payable agreement with AFG in the amount of $2,500,000. The note will
     accrue interest at 9% per annum and is due in 23 monthly installments of
     principal and interest of $79,500 with a balloon payment of $983,773 due
     in February, 2000. The total note balance due at March 31, 1998 is
     $2,430,500 with a current portion payable of $763,375 and a long term
     amount of $1,667,125.

4.   In accordance with ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", basic and
     diluted loss per share are based on 7,071,506 weighted average shares
     outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and 5,712,287 weighted
     average shares outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. There
     were 517,502 and 948,670 potential weighted common shares outstanding at
     March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 respectively related to common stock
     options and warrants. These shares were not included in the computation
     of the diluted share amount because the Company was in a net loss
     position and, thus, any potential common shares were anti-dilutive.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis
               Of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company is in the business of exploring for and producing oil and gas in
the states of Tennessee and Kansas and marketing gas for others in the state
of Tennessee. The Company has 208 producing oil and gas wells in Kansas and
has nine natural gas and one oil well in Tennessee which are expected to
commence production in the second quarter of 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures and
operating expenses. The primary source of cash prior to the first quarter of
1998 has been private placements of common stock, loans from individuals,
loans from a majority stockholder and participation agreements with investors
who provided funds for drilling wells.

Investing activities included additions of $397,795 to oil and gas properties
and $823,802 to complete the Company's pipeline in Tennessee which has been
under construction since 1996. The additions to oil and gas properties were
primarily costs for drilling two wells in the Swan Creek Field in Northeastern
Tennessee.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1998 decreased $3,988,833 from the
December 31, 1997 balance of $4,451,274 due primarily to the following: 

o    During the first quarter of 1998 the Company closed the purchase of 208
     producing oil and gas wells in Kansas from AFG Energy, Inc.(AFG)
     effective December 31, 1997. The Company paid $2,990,253 in cash and
     entered into a note payable agreement with AFG for $2,500,000. 
o    The Company paid $507,486 cash to reduce a note payable to an individual.
o    Net cash used in Operating Activities was $309,307 shown in detail on the
     Statement of Cash Flows.

Proceeds from private placements of 129,833 shares of common stock totaled
$973,562 during the first quarter of 1998. Placement fees for private
placements occurring during the fourth quarter of 1997 and first quarter of
1998 totaling $235,000 were credited to a Director as part of his payment to
the Company for participation agreements giving him a 25% working interest in
three of the Company's wells in the Swan Creek Field.

The Company's plan of operations for the next twelve months calls for drilling
two wells per month in the Swan Creek Field at a cost of $250,000 per well.
The Company plans to extend its

                                       8

<PAGE>


recently completed pipeline in Tennessee 10 miles at a cost of $2,500,000 to
connect with the main gas transmission line of East Tennessee Natural Gas.

This will allow the Company to sell natural gas throughout the southeastern
and northeastern United States. At the present time, the Company does not have
sufficient funds available to complete the well drilling program and pipeline
extension. The Company is currently seeking additional equity funding or debt
financing in order to complete the additional wells and pipeline extension as
described above.

Results of Operations

The Company recognized $610,500 in revenues from the Kansas oil and gas field
purchased from AFG as noted above. These are the first significant revenues
the Company has recognized since its inception.

Production Costs and Taxes increased $243,943 from the first quarter of 1997
due to the inclusion of operating costs for the Kansas wells. The $101,170
increase in Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization for 1998 was mostly due
to a $99,000 charge for depletion of Oil and Gas Properties computed on the
units of production basis using first quarter 1998 Kansas production.

Interest Expense for the first quarter of 1998 decreased $240,354 from the
first quarter of 1997. The 1997 expense included a $165,000 charge for the
imputed value of common stock warrants issued and $113,750 for amortization of
deferred loan costs. The 1998 expense does not include a charge for either of
these items as they were fully amortized during 1997. Interest Expense for
Notes Payable in the first quarter 1998 increased $38,000 over the first
quarter of 1997.

General and Administrative Expenses increased $173,491 for the first quarter
of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997. A majority of this increase
was attributable to three areas: 

o    Personnel costs increased $37,000 due to higher staffing levels at the
     corporate office.
o    Legal and Accounting expenses increased  $45,000.
o    Public Relations costs increased $71,000.

The Company expects to earn a profit in 1998 as a result of the acquisition of
the Kansas properties and the commencement of sales of natural gas and oil
from the Swan Creek field in Northeastern Tennessee which is anticipated to
begin during the second quarter of 1998. The Company's pipeline was recently
completed and connected to a natural gas utility. Gas sales will begin upon
completion of a gathering system from the Company's nine wells to the pipeline
during May, 1998. The Company's expectations of earning a profit in 1998 is a
forward looking statement and is subject to many variables over which the
Company has no control, such as the price of oil and gas, competition,
inflation, natural disasters, etc. Therefore, there can be no assurances that
the Company will earn a profit in 1998.
