X Yes No
--- --
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in
results of operations from the corresponding period for the
last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings
statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
X Yes No
--- --
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change,
both narratively and quantitatively, and, if
appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
The company for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 expects a decrease in net losses
from the comparable periods in 1998, in which we
experienced net losses of approximately $6.2 million
and $47.9 million, respectively. The loss for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 was due predominately
to an impairment of oil and gas properties in the
second quarter of approximately $29 million. The write
down was attributable to the decline in the oil economy
experienced during the fourth quarter of 1997 and
throughout the year of 1998. The Company does not
anticipate any losses from impairment of oil and gas
properties in 1999.
