Registrant is waiting on outside third party oil and gas reservoir
engineers to complete the calculation of Registrant's oil and gas reserves at
December 31, 1998.
In addition, our annual audit which has been in progress since March 8,
1998 cannot be completed until the reserve report is received since the results
of the report affect both the depreciation, depletion and amortization
calculation to be included in the audited financial statements as well as the
unaudited Supplemental Information About Oil and Gas Producing Activities which
must be included in our Form-10KSB filing.
It is currently anticipated the Registrant will file Form-10KSB on or before the
fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

As reflected in Form 10-Q filings for the periods ended March 31, 1998
June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998, the registrant currently expects the
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 to reflect a
significantly larger net loss than that which was reflected in the audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. The registrant
experienced lower production volumes as well as lower prices for its oil and gas
production for the year ended December 31, 1998 when compared to the year ended
December 31, 1997. The registrant also experienced increased general and
administrative and lease operating expenses during the year ended December 31,
1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
