CAMBRIDGE ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Cambridge Energy Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of
Nevada on April 9, 1996. The Company is engaged in the development and operation
of oil and gas properties with proven reserves. The Company's strategy is to
focus in domestic areas where major oil and gas producing companies have reduced
their exploration efforts to move offshore and overseas in search of the larger
reserves. Cambridge Energy's initial development strategy has been to acquire
such proven fields in Louisiana and increase production through the application
of advanced technology and the exploration of other proven formations in the
same fields.
Cambridge Energy's primary operational strategy includes the operation of
its own projects, giving it substantial control over drilling and production
costs. The Company has associated highly experienced exploration and development
engineering and geology personnel that strive to add production at lower costs
through development drilling, workovers, behind pipe recompletions and secondary
recovery operations.
Consolidated Principals
In September 1998, the Company completed the closing of their newly
acquired subsidiary, Triton Wellhead and Manufacturing, Inc. (Triton). Triton,
which is located in Broussard, Louisiana, designs, manufactures,
repairs/remanufactures and tests wellhead equipment and components. The Company
acquired property, plant and equipment directly from lenders to prior owners for
cash and notes totalling $440,000, and acquired inventory, equipment and
operations through the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Triton in exchange
for cash notes and 762,354 shares of the Company's common stock.
Basis of Presentation
The financial information presented as of any date other than March 31 has
been prepared from the books and records without audit. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 1998 contained in the
Company's Form 10-SB.
Method of accounting for oil and gas properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and
gas producing activities, as set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 19, as amended. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas
properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and
to drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory
wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs and
costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed as incurred.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are
periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the
time of impairment by providing a valuation allowance. Other unproved properties
are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and
average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties,
after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated
salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
Support equipment and other property and equipment are carried at cost and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
On sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated
from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On
retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to
accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or
loss recognized in income.

CAMBRIDGE ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash
equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration
the amount of any recorded impairment if the property has been assessed
individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount
received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation of property and equipment are being provided by accelerated methods
for financial and tax reporting purposes over estimated useful lives of five to
seven years.
Marketable equity securities
The Company owns 75,000 common stock shares of a corporation publicly
traded on NASDAQ Small Cap market (Note 4) Pursuant to Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 these securities are classified as available-for-sale and are
recorded in the accompanying financial statements at their fair value based on
the quoted market price of the stock. At December 31, 1998, unrealized loss on
these securities totaled $40,500, respectively and have been charged to
comprehensive earnings.
Management estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Flow
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits
and time deposits with maturities of less than three months. None of the
Company's cash is restricted.
Net loss per share
For the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the net loss per share amount is
based upon 9,519,959 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding,
respectively.
2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company is currently using office space provided free of charge by a
corporation owned by its President. The fair rental value of this space provided
is not material. At December 31, 1998, the Company was not obligated under any
noncancellable operating or capital lease obligations.
Year 2000 computer compliance
The Company's computer hardware and the software is currently in compliance
with the year 2000 dating issues. Furthermore, management does not believe any
additional significant costs will be incurred in dealing with this issue and the
accompanying financial statements do not contain any reserve for this
contingency. The Company has charged to expense when incurred approximately
$2,000 related to becoming year 2000 compliant.

4. RESERVE QUANTITY INFORMATION
The following estimates of proved developed reserve quantities are
estimates only, and do not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market
value of the Company's reserves. They are presented in accordance with the
guidelines established by the S.E.C. and disclosure requirements promulgated by
SFAS 69. The Company emphasizes the reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of currently
producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to
change as future information becomes available. All of the Company's reserves
are located in southern Louisiana.
Proved reserves are estimated reserves of crude oil (including
condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas that geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions. Proved developed reserves are those expected to be recovered through
existing wells, equipment, and operating method. The Company's proved developed
and undeveloped reserves and changes in them during the periods are as follows.
Oil Gas
(BBLS) (MCF)
------ -----
Purchase of minerals in place 663,779 -
Production ( 1,079) -

Reserves at March 31, 1998 3,144,450 29,135,890
========== ============
5. STANDARDIZED MEASURES OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS AND
CHANGES THEREIN RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES AT THE
ABOVE REFERENCED DATE
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas, estimated at $14.00 per barrel and
$2.18 per MMBTU, respectively, (with consideration of price changes only to the
extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production
of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on
year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves,
less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax
rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred
on pretax net cash flows less basis of the properties and available credits, and
assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The estimated future net
cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the
estimated timing of the future cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
For the nine months ended December 31, 1998, Cambridge operations produced
a total of 607.701 million cubic feet of gas and 10,039 barrels of oil and oil
condensate. The Company's revenues for this period were $314,471, up from
$37,653 for the same period the year prior, due primarily to the addition of the
Calvert and Todd No. 1 well in Houma, Louisiana. The Company has a 34.375%
working interest in this well. This property has paid out the total drilling and
completion costs of $1,379,984.79 since it came on line February 28, 1998.
Operating expenses were $310,389 for the three months ended December 31,
1998 up from $245,566 for the same period the previous year. This increase was
attributable to: 1) engineering expenses associate with the Company's Indonesian
acquisition; 2) the continued preparation and initial operations on the
Company's 20 well, 1998'-99' drilling program and 3) to expenses for the
management and operation of Triton Wellhead and Manufacturing, Inc. which
accounted for $71,699 for the quarter ended 12-31-98.
During the nine month period ended 12-31-98, the Company completed
acquisition of property, plant and equipment, and operations of Triton Wellhead
and Manufacturing, Inc. for a total cost of $1,310.000 in cash and stock. The
Company has hired new management for Triton and in the process of making
operational changes to complete application for API Certification of its shop
and manufacturing facility.
During the Company's first fiscal year (partial) ended March 31, 1997, it
acquired leases each containing one producing well and one salt water disposal
well on two producing oil and gas properties in Louisiana. These properties also
contained additional proven reserves the Company intends to develop. The Company
is the operator on both properties, maintaining a 100% working interest net of
royalties in the Floyd #A-1 well in the Big Island Field of Rapides Parish,
Louisiana, and a 5% working interest net of royalties in the Odra Stelly #1-D
well in the Abbeville Field of Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The Company
subsequently negotiated a 100% working interest in the Odra Stelly #1-D well. In
addition, the principals conveyed to the Company a 1/128th interest in an oil
producing property, the Brinley #2-6 in Garvin County, Oklahoma. Revenues from
these producing properties were $17,272 during the Company's partial fiscal year
ending March 31, 1997. Funds over and above these revenues required for lease
renewals, working interest contributions, and other Company operations during
this partial FY 1997 were provided by loans from shareholders.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, Company acquired additional
leases via an assigned farmout from Union Oil of California (UNOCAL) in the
Houma Field of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana; leases in the Arnaudville Field of
St. Martin and St. Landry Parishes, Louisiana; leases in the West Lake Arthur
Field of Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana; and leases in the Bayou Blue Field
of Iberville Parish, Louisiana. (see "Current Oil and Gas Properties") Revenues
from the Floyd #A-1 well in the Big Island Field of Rapides Parish, Louisiana,
totaled $20,210.56 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1998. The revenue was
reduced significantly as the Company performed rework and maintenance on the
well during this period, resulting in the well being down for a considerable
period of time, however, the Company's rework operations were successful and the
well is back on line. The leases the Company holds at Big Island include a
saltwater disposal well that currently services the Floyd #A-1 well, and is
capable of handling this function for the two new wells to be drilled on these
properties. The Company also undertook a "sidetrack" drilling operation at its
Odra Stelly #1-D well in the Abbeville Field of Vermilion Parish during December
1997. The producing sands that were the target of the sidetrack were found to be
lower than expected, the well was determined to be not commercially viable and
was plugged and abandoned. Revenues to the Company from the Odra Stelly #1-D
well were negligible in FY 1998.
The Company has continued to acquire properties during the interim period
ended 12-31-98 with the acquisition of its 160 acre SE Crescent Field in
Iberville Parish, La. The initial work planned for this gas and oil condensate
property will be the rework of the W. Wilbert & Sons No. 1, 11,700' gas and oil
condensate well. In addition, during the Quarter, the Company added a 117 acre
property next to the Company's Calvert & Todd No. 1 well in Houma, Louisiana.
12
<PAGE>
Cambridge has planned a 20 well 1998'-99' drilling schedule with 16 wells
on properties which it now owns and the balance on properties which it expects
to acquire. The Company scheduled drilling to begin during the second quarter of
the current fiscal year and although it has undertaken preliminary operations
with this schedule, delays on the part of the Company's infield drilling
partners have delayed major operations. The Company began additional rework
operations on these properties, specifically the West Lake Arthur Property and
the Big Island property after the end of the reported period. It expects to
continue these operations throughout the subsequent quarter.
Liquidity :
In June 1997, the Company undertook a Private Placement of its Common
Shares to raise capital for the execution of its business plan. This offering
ultimately resulted in the Company raising $772,625 during fiscal year ended
March 31, 1998. During interim period ended 12-31-98, the Company raised an
additional $680,463 from the sale of stock.
Management believes that its 34.375% working interest revenues from the
Calvert & Todd #1 well will meet its minimum general and administrative cost
requirements and provide the basic liquidity the Company needs to operate at
current levels over the next twelve months. However, additional funding will be
required to execute its business plan of acquiring additional leases and
reserves, and performing drilling and rework activities planned for its existing
properties. Part of this funding is expected to be obtained by the sale of
working interest percentages in the drilling and rework projects, with the
Company maintaining an additional promotional interest in each project after
payout in addition to the working interest percentage it retains up front. The
balance of the funding required to execute the Company's planning will need to
be obtained from other sources such as debt or the sale of additional equity.
The Company has completed a transaction involving a non-recourse production
payment facility with Domain Energy (DXD) in the amount of $700,000 which
provided funding for the Company's portion of the initial projects in its
drilling program.
The Company has a commitment from private drilling partners for its 20 well
drillings program, however, there have been delays in receiving their funds. The
Company expects their commitment to be funded during the current quarter,
however there is no assurance that these commitments will be met.
Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures:
The Company has made no material commitments for these future projects
other than to acquire and pay for the respective leases. Each drilling and/or
rework project is stand-alone and although the Company is in constant discussion
with prospective working interest partners on each potential project,
commitments for the actual drilling or rework and site preparation operations
are not made for each project until the Company has received the funds from its
working interest partners and the funds for its portion of the working interest
are in place. The leases the Company holds are renewable annually unless "held
by production". If the leased property has a producing well that is providing
royalty payments to the leaseholders, then annual lease payments and renewals
are not required. This is the case with certain of the Big Island leases as well
as Houma assigned farmout properties. Cambridge Energy strives to accomplish the
drilling or rework planned for each property within the year first leased. When
that does not occur however, management reviews the potential of each property
as its leases come up for renewal and makes a decision whether or not to renew
each lease in light of the Company's business planning at that time.
The company has committed to provide $750,000 at the closing of the
purchase of Indonesian production now under contract. Closing documents have
been exchanged and transfer documents recorded in Singapore. The Company has
made an initial contract payment in the amount of $75,000 directly the
Pertamina, the Indonesian government owned oil company and has agreed to make
the balance of the $750,000 in payments directly to the Sellers. The Company has
under negotiation several facilities to provide these funds however, it does not
have a commitment in place and there is no assurance that a commitment will be
forthcoming prior to the time that additional payments are required.
