                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1998



The  accompanying   interim  financial  statements  of  FAN  Energy,  Inc.  (the
"Company")  are  unaudited.  In the  opinion of  management,  the  interim  data
includes  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal  recurring  adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.

The  unaduited  financial  statements  included  herein were  prepared  from the
records  of  the  Company  in  accordance  with  Generally  Accepted  Accounting
Principles and reflect all adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to provide a fair statement of the results of operations and financial
position for the interim periods. Such financial statements generally conform to
the presentation  reflected in the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2
(File No.  333-47699)  which became  effective  with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 14, 1998. The current interim  periods  reported herein should
be read in  conjunction  with the Company's  registration  statement  subject to
independent audit at the end of the year.

The  results  of  operations  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.


SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF 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
reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company  considers as cash equivalents
all highly  liquid  investments  with a maturity of three  months or less at the
time of purchase. At June 30, 1998, there were no cash equivalents.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

The  Company  follows  the  full  cost  method  to  account  for its oil and gas
exploration and development  activities.  Under the full cost method,  all costs
incurred which are directly  related to oil and gas  exploration and development
are capitalized and subjected to depreciation  and depletion.  Depletable  costs
also include  estimates of future  development  costs of proved reserves.  Costs
related to undeveloped  oil and gas  properties may be excluded from  depletable
cost until such  properties are evaluated as either proved or unproved.  The net
capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling  limitation.  A single cost center is
maintained for the company's oil and natural gas  exploration,  development  and
production activities in the United States.

                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1998


SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Undeveloped oil and gas properties consist of leases and acreage acquired by the
Company for its exploration  and  development  activities as well as geophysical
costs. The cost of these  non-producing  leases is recorded at the lower cost or
fair market value. As of June 30, 1998, costs related to undeveloped oil and gas
properties  consists  of  costs  incurred  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's
acquisition of the  properties,  dry hole costs,  and geological and geophysical
(seismic) costs.

The  Company  has  adopted  SFAS  No.  121  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of" which requires
that long-lived  assets to be held and used by reviewed for impairment  whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be  recoverable.  The  adoption of SFAS 121 has not had an impact on the
Company's  financial  statements,  as the  Company  has not  determined  that an
impairment  loss needs to be  recognized  for  applicable  assets of  continuing
operations.


DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

Deferred  offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with a proposed
public  offering of the Company's  common stock.  If the offering is successful,
costs  incurred  will be charged  against the proceeds of the  offering.  If the
offering is not successful, costs incurred will be charged to operations.


INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes". SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
the expected  future tax  consequences  of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and  assets  are  determined  based  on the  difference  between  the  financial
statement  and tax basis of assets and  liabilities  using  enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

(LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

(Loss) per common  share is computed  based on the  weighted  average  number of
common  shares  outstanding  during  each  period.  Common  shares  issued  from
reactivation  as a  development  stage  company,  and prior to completion of the
Company's proposed initial public offering,  are considered  outstanding for all
periods presented.

In February  1997 SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share" was issued  effective for
periods  ending after  December 15,  1997.  There is no impact on the  Company's
financial statements from adoption of SFAS No. 128.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION

The  following  discussion  is intended to provide an analysis of the  Company's
financial condition and Plan of Operation and should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial  statements and the notes thereto. The matters discussed
in this section that are not  historical  or current  facts deal with  potential
future circumstances and developments.  Such forward-looking statements include,
but are not  limited  to, the  drilling  plans for  natural  gas,  trends in the
results of the Company's  operations,  anticipated rates of production,  natural
gas  prices,   operating   expenses  and  the  Company's   anticipated   capital
requirements  and capital  resources.  The Company's actual results could differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

The Company has not generated  revenue from operations  during the first half of
1998 or during the  previous  two fiscal  years.  The Company  plans to generate
future revenue through its participation in drilling for natural gas with others
in the  Sacramento  basin of central  California and in other areas which may be
selected by the Company.  Once sufficient financial resources are developed,  as
described  below,  the Company intends to continue to participate in exploration
of its two natural gas prospects and to acquire interests in similar  properties
in  other  areas.  As of the  date  of  this  report,  no  production  has  been
established on any of the Company's properties.

The Company's  properties presently consist of a 25% working interest in oil and
gas  leases  covering  approximately  30,000  acres  in  two  prospects  in  the
Sacramento  Basin of Central  California.  The  Company  and the  operator  have
identified  potential  natural gas  drilling  locations in the  prospects  using
advanced three dimensional ("3-D") and AVO seismic technologies. The Company has
participated  in  drilling  two  unsuccessful  exploratory  wells  on one of the
prospects  during 1998 and is  currently  drilling a third well.  The  Company's
share of the cost of the  first  two  wells  which  resulted  in dry  holes  was
approximately  $125,000, and has been included in investment for undeveloped oil
and gas properties on the June 30, 1998 balance sheet.  The Company's  estimated
share of  drilling  the third well is  approximately  $56,000.  Management  will
decide what future  development  activity on the prospect  will be undertaken by
the  Company  based upon the results of the third  exploratory  well and further
evaluation of the seismic data for that prospect  area.  Management  anticipates
that initial  exploration  drilling on the second  prospect will commence during
the third quarter of 1998.

The estimated annual cash expenditures for general and  administrative  expenses
of the Company is  anticipated  to be  approximately  $135,000 and other capital
costs associated with the existing properties may approximate  $400,000.  During
the first half of 1998,  operating expense,  consisting primarily of general and
administrative  expenses was approximately  $164,000,  including non-cash equity
compensation to officers and directors.  The Company also had cash  expenditures
of approximately  $45,000 for deferred offering costs for the offering described
below,  $65,000  for  drilling  costs and  $155,000  for  geophysical  and lease
extension  costs,  all of which  were  capitalized.  At June 30,  1998 and as of
August  10,  1998,  the  Company  had   approximately   $  111,000  and  $6,000,
respectively, in cash, compared to $425,000 at December 31, 1997.

The Company will need to raise  additional  financing  in the third  quarter and
over the next twelve months to continue exploratory drilling and pay its general
and  administrative  expenses.  In May  1998,  the  Company  commenced  a public
offering of a minimum of 300,000, up to a maximum of 3 million, common shares at
$1.00 per share.  The  offering  has not been  completed  as of the date of this
report.  Concurrent with the offering, the Company extended to September 1,1998,
the  expiration  date for  outstanding  warrants  pursuant to which  holders may
purchase up to 2,500,000  shares of common  stock at $.20 per share.  Additional
outstanding  warrants,  which may be  exercised to purchase of up to one million
shares of common  stock at $.60 per share and 180,000  shares at $.50 per share,
expire  October 31,  1998.  The Company  anticipates  that at least a portion of
outstanding  warrants will be exercised by warrant  holders.  If all outstanding
warrants  are  exercised,  of which there is no  assurance,  the  Company  would
receive a total of  $1,190,000,  $500,000 by September  1,1998 and an additional
$690,000 by October 31, 1998, the dates of expiration. No assurances can be made
as to whether any of the warrants will be exercised.

                                        8

<PAGE>


Unless a substantial portion of outstanding warrants are exercised,  or at least
the  minimum  offering  is  completed,  the  Company  may  be  unable  to  cover
anticipated general and administrative expenses and capital lease costs over the
next twelve  months,  and the Company may be unable to  participate  in drilling
additional  exploratory  wells.  The  Company  plans to use the  proceeds of the
public  offering and warrant  exercises to participate  in drilling  natural gas
wells on its prospects in the Sacramento Basin over the next one to three years,
depending upon whether initial drilling is successful, future natural gas prices
and other factors. When sufficient capital resources are available,  the company
will  seek  to  acquire  interests  in  other  oil or  natural  gas  properties.
Management  of the Company will  continue to seek  additional  financing for the
Company.

Until and unless  wells are  drilled and  completed  as  successful  natural gas
producers  or  the  Company  acquires  or  develops  other  oil or  natural  gas
production or reserves,  the Company will have no production,  no cash flow, and
no oil or natural gas reserves.

The  Company  does not have any  employees  and  uses  consultants  for  matters
pertaining to drilling, property evaluations and administration. The Company may
hire  employees  during the next  twelve  months  depending  upon its success in
developing production, cash flow and natural gas reserves

This report contains  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section
27A of the  Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934.
Although  the  Company   believes  that  the   expectations   reflected  in  the
forward-looking  statements and the assumptions  upon which the  forward-looking
statements  are  based  are  reasonable,  it can  give no  assurance  that  such
expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct.
