FAN ENERGY INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

The unaudited 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 Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1999. The current interim period reported herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-KSB subject to independent audit at the end of the year.

(1)   In June 2000, the Company commenced a public offering of up to 3,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one stock purchase warrant which would entitle the holder to purchase an additional share of common stock at $0.15 per share. The units are offered at $0.10 per unit on a 400,000 unit minimum, 3,000,000 unit maximum unit basis. At September 30, 2000, there were in escrow $110,000 in subscriptions for the sale of 1.1 million units, representing 1,100,000 shares and 1,100,000 warrants. Subsequently, the Company received subscriptions for an additional 500,000 units, the proceeds for which were added to the escrow account. Had the shares included in the units in escrow at September 30, 2000 been issued as of that date, there would have been 10,551,492 shares outstanding on that date. The Company intends to leave the proceeds in the escrow account until the offering is completed.

(2)   The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

Item 2.    Management's Plan of Operations

In the following discussion we are providing an analysis of our financial condition and the Plan of Operation during the balance of the fiscal year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto. Certain matters discussed below are based on potential future circumstances and developments which we anticipate or expect, but which cannot be assured. Such forward- looking statements include, but are no limited to, our plans to conduct drilling operations, trends in the results of our operations, anticipated rates of production, natural gas and oil prices, operating expenses and our anticipated capital requirements and capital resources. The actual results which we achieve in our operations could differ materially from the matters discussed in the forward-looking statements.

We generated $119,961 of revenue in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $103,486 in the same period. The revenue was from our interest in the Molucca Well in the Sacramento Basin of central California. The increased revenue was due to substantially increased prices we received, as production has begun to drop off on this well. We anticipate that production from the Starkey formation in the Molucca #1-35 well will reach its economic limit by the end of the year, due to a significant increase in water production. When this occurs, the Molucca #1-35 well will be recompleted in the Winters formation. This zone should produce gas at comparable rates to the Starkey zone, based on a comparison of the electric logs from this well to logs from other Winters producing wells in the area. We expect gas prices to remain strong for the remainder of the year. During the third quarter, the average price we received was approximately $3.76 per MCF.

This producing natural gas well in the Sacramental Basin of central California and our interest in the surrounding unexplored acreage is being held for sale. Pending any sale of those properties, we will continue to receive revenue from production from this well.

We hold an undivided net interest equal to approximately 20% in a 5,760 acre prospect located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Two exploratory wells have been drilled on the prospect, with the first well completed as an apparent oil producer and the second as a marginally productive natural gas well. Both wells were shut-in for the winter months of 1999 and early 2000 because of the weather and awaiting other activityin the area. The operator of the well, Fancher Oil LLC, expects additional wells to be drilling on this prospect in 2001 and thereafter. Because of our limited financial resources, it is likely that we will farm-out all or a portion of our interest in these properties for development by others, with the expectation that we would receive a reduced interest in future wells, and most of our share of drilling and development expenses would be paid by other participants.

We had general and administrative expenses of $31,862 in the first three quarters, compared to $92,052 in the prior year. We decided not to pay management fees and reimbursement for office space to Fancher Oil Company and Arizona Corporate Management during 2000 until we are able to reasonably afford their services. Our expenses have been significantly less during 2000 as payments were made to consultants on an as-needed basis only. Our operating results are significantly affected by our depletion and amortization expenses which increased about 12.9% for the nine month period in 1999, reflecting anticipated depletion in our one producing well.

At September 30, 2000, we had $64,614 in cash, compared to $11,290 at December 31, 1999.

During 1999, we obtained a $150,000 line of credit which was secured by the personal guarantee of our Chairman. The loan was used to repay amounts owed to Fancher Oil, LLC and other accounts payable and to fund some operating expenses. The principal balance owed on the loan at December 31, 1999 was $20,000 and was paid off during the first quarter of 2000.

The Company will need to raise additional financing over the next twelve months. In June 2000, we commenced a public offering of a minimum of 400,000 units, up to a maximum of 3.0 million units at $0.10 per unit. Each unit includes one share of common stock and one warrant for one share. As of September 30, 2000, we had sold 1,100,000 units for proceeds of $110,000 which were held in escrow as of that date, awaiting competion of the offering. The offering is completed when we will receive the proceeds from the escrow.

In 2000, the Company extended to October 31, 2000, the expiration date for outstanding warrants pursuant to which holders may purchase up to 1,180,000 shares of common stock at $.15 per share to April 30, 2000. 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 $177,000, the date of expiration. No assurances can be made as to whether any of the warrants will be exercised.

We do not believe that our available cash will be sufficient to pay all of our anticipated general and administrative expenses, capital lease costs and anticipated drilling expenses over the next 12 months. As a result we may be unable to participate in drilling any additional exploratory or development wells on the Horsethief Canyon prospect or other nearby prospects. If we are able to raise additional capital we will use the proceeds to pay our ongoing operating expenses and to participate in additional drilling. To fund the anticipated near term capital shortfall, we may accept loans from management or other affiliates, in addition to the line of credit referred to above. Assuming sufficient capital resources become available, we will continue to seek to acquire interests in other oil or natural gas properties.

We do not have any employees and instead we use consultants for matters pertaining to drilling, property evaluations and administration. We do not presently contemplate hiring employees during the next 12 months.
