                   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 six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. For
     further information, refer to the company's consolidated financial
     statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998,
     included in Form 10-KSB.

2.   The Company has issued fully paid 25% working interests in six wells in the
     Swan Creek Field to Shigemi Morita, one of the Directors of the Company,
     which were paid for in part by crediting Mr. Morita $360,000 for placement
     fees in connection with private placements of the Company's common stock
     which occurred during the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of
     1998. Mr. Morita was given an option that if it was determined that a
     well(s) at the time of completion of the drilling was not economically
     feasible and as such was subsequently plugged and abandoned, he had 30
     days, after written notice from the Company, to convert amounts paid for
     that well(s) to restricted shares of the Company's common stock at 70% of
     its then current market value. However, all six of the wells in which
     Mr. Morita has a participation interest are producing, therefore his
     options for these wells are not exercisable.

3.   On December 18, 1997, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement
     in which certain producing oil and gas properties and inventory located in
     the state of Kansas ("the Kansas Properties") were acquired from AFG
     Energy, Inc. ("AFG"). The agreement, which was effective as of December 31,
     1997, closed on March 5, 1998, whereby 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 9.5% per annum for the period
     December 1998 to May 1999. After May 1999, the interest rate becomes 9.0%
     per annum. Monthly interest-only payments are due from December 1998 to May
     1999. Monthly installments of principal and interest of $138,349 are due
     from June 1999 to December 1999. There is a balloon payment of $983,773 due
     in January 2000. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
     accordingly, the purchase price of $5,490,253 has been allocated to the
     assets acquired based on the estimated fair values at the date of
     acquisition.

4.   In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", basic and diluted
     loss per share are based on 7,846,179 weighted average shares outstanding
     for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 7,181,062 weighted average shares
     outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. There were 475,827 and
     497,969 potential weighted common shares outstanding at June 30, 1999 and
     June 30,1998 respectively related to common stock options and warrants.
     These shares were not included in the computation of the diluted loss per
     share amount because the Company was in a net loss position and, thus, any
     potential common shares were anti-dilutive.

5.   SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
     is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This
     statement requires recognition of all derivative contracts as either assets
     or liabilities in the balance sheet and the measurement of them at fair
     value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
     designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of any
     gains or losses on the hedge with the recognition of (i) the changes in the
     fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the
     hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted
     transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the
     gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. It is not
     anticipated that this pronouncement will have any impact on the Company
     since the Company does not have any open derivative contracts and it does
     not enter into any hedging transactions.

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

The Company is in the business of exploring for, producing and transporting oil
and natural gas in Tennessee and Kansas and marketing gas for others in
Tennessee. The Company has 208 producing oil and gas wells in Kansas and has
thirteen producing natural gas and three oil wells in Tennessee.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures and
operating expenses. The primary source of cash thru the second quarter of 1999
has been from loan transactions, private placements of the Company's common
stock and revenues from its Kansas Properties.

Investing activities for the first six months of 1999 include additions of
$606,844 to oil and gas properties, $178,941 additions to property and
equipment, and $41,695 for TVA right of ways and reclamation of the Company's
pipeline in Tennessee. The costs for oil and gas properties were primarily for
drilling and completion of natural gas and oil wells in the Swan Creek Field in
northeastern Tennessee.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 decreased $520,361 from the December
31, 1998 balance of $913,194 due primarily to the following:

o Costs noted above for oil and gas properties and the pipeline completion
  totaled $606,844.

o Net cash used in Operating Activities was $1,840,129 which is shown in detail
  on the Statement of Cash Flows.

Proceeds from private placement of 616,429 shares of the Company's common stock
and 6,889 shares of the Company's Series A 8% cumulative convertible preferred
stock during the first six months of 1999, totaled $ 1,537,736 and $688,900,
respectively.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The Company's plan of operations for the next twelve months calls for drilling
two wells per month in the Swan Creek Field in Tennessee at a cost of $250,000
per well. The Company also plans to complete phase two of its pipeline to extend
its recently completed pipeline in Tennessee 30 miles at a cost of $5,000,000 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.

The Company does not presently have the funds needed to enable it to complete
its drilling program and the extension of the pipeline. There can be no
assurances when or if the funding necessary for the continuation of the drilling
program and the completion of the second phase of the pipeline will become
available. Moreover, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to
obtain the required rights of way to construct the second phase of its pipeline,
and the completed first phase of the pipeline will only serve production from a
portion of the Swan Creek Field.

Results of Operations

The company recognized $724,888 in revenues from the Kansas oil and gas field
and Swan Creek during the second quarter 1999 compared to $480,551 in the second
quarter 1998. This increased revenue resulted from the significant increase in
oil and gas prices during the second quarter of 1999. Production Costs and Taxes
for the first six months of 1999 of $879,989, was slightly higher compared to
$795,847 in the second quarter of 1998. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
expense for the first six months of 1999 was $154,200, compared to $241,043 for
the first six months of 1998, this difference was due to the 1998 depletion
estimate being overstated.

Interest Expense for the first six months of 1999 was $301,454, as compared to
$169,452 in 1998, this difference is due to interest on new loans and 8%
dividend paid on the Company's Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock.
General and Administrative Expenses for the first six months of 1999 increased
slightly, $70,764 from the first six months of 1998 amount of $1,143,528.

Legal and accounting fees increased $209,841 for the first six months of 1999.
This increase was due primarily to increase costs for litigation fees, the
preparation and filing of documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and Audit fees.

In the first six months of 1999 notes payable was reduced $250,000 due to the
pay off of a note in that amount which was part of the settlement reached in an
action pending against the Company in New York State Supreme Court entitled
Hocker v. Tengasco, Inc., Index No. 601385/97.

Year 2000 Risks

As in the case with other companies using computers in their operations, the
company is faced with the task of addressing the year 2000 issue during the
year. The Year 2000 issue arises from the widespread use of computer programs
that rely on two-digit date codes to perform computations or decision-making
functions. The Company believes it has fully achieved Year 2000 compliance for
all internal information systems. As such, management believes that Year 2000
transition of the Company's internal information systems will not have a
material adverse effect on future results. Costs associated with compliance were
immaterial and have been fully incurred.

The Company is in the process of examining key third party relationships to
determine, to the extent practical, the degree of such parties' Year 2000
compliance. The Company faces risks if key business suppliers, banks, utilities,
transportation providers, communications providers or government services are
not compliant for the Year 2000. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company is
reviewing its options to continue operations using alternative suppliers, banks,
utilities and providers of transportation and communication services. There can
be no guarantee that the measures taken by the Company will solve the Year 2000
issue of such third parties. If such problems are not solved by such third
parties and the Company cannot locate alternative sources as outlined, this may
have a significant adverse impact on the Company.
