PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
Basic Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), was organized under the laws of the
State of Colorado on January 21, 1998. The Company was initially organized for
the purpose of pursuing and completing a business combination with Yankee
Development Corporation ("Yankee Development"), a Texas corporation engaged in
the business of the acquisition and development of oil and gas ventures and
related interests. The Company's executive offices are presently located at 1026
West Main Street, Suite #208, Lewisville, Texas 75067, and its telephone and
facsimile numbers are (972) 436-3789 and (972) 219-1832, respectively. The
Company's presence on the world wide web is accessible at the domain
http://www.basictech.com and its related links.
The Company received gross proceeds in the amount of $25,000 from the sale of a
total of 25,000 shares of common stock, $.00001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), in an offering conducted during the period from March to April 7, 1998,
pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
and Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
On April 23, 1998, the Company issued and sold, pursuant to that certain
Acquisition Agreement and Closing Memorandum dated April 23, 1998, an aggregate
of 5,305,625 newly-issued, restricted shares, constituting approximately 90% of
the then outstanding shares, of the Company's Common Stock in consideration of
the exchange therefor of all 1,000 outstanding shares of common stock, no par
value per share, of Yankee Development owned of record and beneficially by the
Shelton Voting Trust. Immediately following the "reverse acquisition"
transaction, the Shelton Voting Trust, the former owner of Yankee Development,
controlled approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company and Yankee Development became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The transaction was accounted for under the purchase of assets, rather than the
pooling of interests, method of accounting. Mr. Bryan L. Walker, the President,
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
and the President and a director of Yankee Development and Simpco, Inc.
("Simpco"), also a 100%-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the trustee of the
Shelton Voting Trust. (See Part I, Item 7. "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" and Part II, Item 4. "Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.")
On October 16, 1998, the Company, together with Simpco, which was then
unaffiliated with the Company, organized P & A Remediation, LLC (hereafter "PAR
Texas"), a Texas limited liability company owned 99% and 1% by the Company and
Simpco, respectively, for the purpose of engaging in the business of plugging
oil wells, conducting environmental remediation of oil fields and salvaging the
construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and used oil field equipment for
resale on the secondary market.
<PAGE> 5
The Company, effective as of January 15, 1999, issued and sold, in accordance
with that certain Acquisition Agreement and Closing Memorandum dated effective
January 15, 1999, a total of 850,000 newly-issued, restricted shares of Common
Stock in consideration of the exchange therefor of all 10,000 outstanding shares
of common stock, no par value per share, of Simpco.
Simpco then became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in the transaction
which was accounted for under the purchase of assets method. Prior to its
acquisition by the Company effective as of January 15, 1999, Simpco was
operating and approved by the responsible regulatory agencies of the states of
Texas and Oklahoma to be engaged in the business of oil well plugging,
remediation and salvage activities, which are now conducted by P & A
Remediation. Since its acquisition by the Company, Simpco has acted solely in
the capacity of referring business contacts; acting as agent in the state of
Oklahoma; and as the owner and lessor to P & A Remediation, as the lessee, of
the used oil field equipment owned by Simpco effective as of January 15, 1999,
and subsequently acquired from unaffiliated third parties.
On November 24, 1999, the Company organized P & A Remediation, LLC (hereafter
"PAR Oklahoma"), an Oklahoma limited liability company, for the purpose of
engaging in the business of plugging oil wells for industry and government in
the state of Oklahoma, conducting environmental remediation of oil fields and
salvaging the construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and used oil field
equipment for resale on the secondary market.
On December 31, 1999, the Company organized Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc.
(hereafter CCTECH), a wholly-owned Hawaii corporation, for the purpose of
receiving and operating the assets of an unrelated third party and thereafter to
engage in the business of providing regional Internet provider services and
computer consulting operations from Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Company, on March 16, 2000, issued and sold, in accordance with that certain
Acquisition Agreement and Closing Memorandum dated effective December 31, 1999,
a total of 979,232 newly-issued, restricted shares of Common Stock in the
company, in consideration for the conveyance and transfer of certain selected
assets listed in (i) that certain Acquisition Agreement and Closing Memorandum
between the Company and Cyber City Honolulu, Inc., (hereafter CCHONO) an
unaffiliated third party; (ii) that certain Bill of Sale dated December 31, 1999
from Cyber City Honolulu, Inc. to Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc.; and (iii)
that certain Assignment dated December 31, 1999, from Cyber City Honolulu, Inc.,
to Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. The stock for assets transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method.
See (b) "Business of Issuer" immediately below for a description of the
Company's current operations conducted through its subsidiaries: Yankee
Development, Simpco, PAR Texas, PAR Oklahoma, and CCTECH, as well as future
proposed activities.
(b) BUSINESS OF ISSUER.
General. The Company serves as a holding company for three wholly-owned
corporate subsidiaries, Yankee Development, Simpco, and Cyber Cities
Technologies, and two limited liability companies, PAR Texas and PAR Oklahoma
(hereafter collectively "P & A Remediation"). Yankee Development owns a working
interest in proven, developed oil reserves
<PAGE> 6
on 2,300 acres in Tom Green County, Texas. Through P & A Remediation, the
Company performs environmental remediation and salvage operations for the oil
industry, and markets and sells construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and
used oil field equipment obtained from salvage operations or acquired for resale
on the secondary market. Simpco owns certain reconditioned oil field equipment
and vehicles that are leased to P & A Remediation for use in conducting oil
field plugging, remediation and salvage activities. Cyber Cities Technologies
provides high speed internet access for residential and business customers in
Hawaii.
Since its creation by the Company, PAR Oklahoma has as a general contractor for
oil well plugging and cleanup jobs for the company's operations in the state of
Oklahoma. Simpco has acted as the owner and lessor to PAR Oklahoma, as the
lessee, of the used oil field equipment owned by Simpco; and as agent for the
procurement of state bid contracts. Simpco, which was a previously approved oil
well cementer with the state of Oklahoma, has successfully bid on, and been
awarded a number of bid contracts from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to
plug oil wells and clean up oil well sites. PAR Oklahoma is the assignee of
those bid contracts from Simpco. Subsequent to its creation, and doing business
in Oklahoma as Simpco, PAR Oklahoma has engaged in the business of plugging oil
wells for both government and industry, conducting environmental remediation of
oil fields and salvaging the construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and
used oil field equipment for resale on the secondary market.
Company management has decided to delay additional development and production of
Yankee Development's oil reserves until such time as sufficient capital is
raised to properly drill and complete the required number of wells to prove or
disprove the field's reserve study. This could possibly mean the drilling of up
to twenty (20) wells, at a total cost of up to $1,300,000. The results of
drilling such wells can never be determined in advance. The industry has a
history of unprofitable efforts resulting from dry holes, or commercial wells
which fail to produce in quantities sufficient to provide an economic return.
Yankee Development, since inception, has generated no revenues from the
production of oil. No assurance can be given that Yankee Development will
generate any revenues or achieve profitability from the production of the
proven, developed reserves owned as of the date hereof or from oil and/or gas
properties, if any, acquired in the future. Until that time, the Company intends
to focus upon expanding P & A Remediation's environmental remediation and
salvage business in the private sector and, in addition, to include the State of
Texas' Railroad Commission; the Oklahoma Corporation Commission; and /or other
government customers. Management believes that the Company can continue to
exploit the numerous opportunities available because of the volatile nature of
the domestic oil and gas industry to expand P & A Remediation's business and,
additionally, acquire companies engaged in one or more aspects of the plugging,
remediation and salvage business, as well as obtain producing and/or developed
oil and/or gas properties. These opportunities include, but are not limited to,
(i) the availability of producing wells and field equipment at low or distressed
prices; (ii) the availability for minimal compensation of a pool of
highly-trained field and supervisory personnel because of industry layoffs;
(iii) the availability of heavy construction and oilfield equipment, and the
businesses operating the same, at low or distressed prices; and (iv) increased
environmental remediation and salvage business attributable to the increasing
number of wells desired to be plugged, or required to be plugged at public
<PAGE> 7
expense because of abandonment by operators due to of the volatile nature of the
domestic independent oil & gas industry; the depressed (unstable) price of crude
oil; or because of environmental hazards.
Since March 2000, the Company's well plugging and pipe sales operations in Texas
have been suspended. Since June 2000, the Company's well plugging operations in
Oklahoma have been suspended. Both suspensions are a result of multiple factors,
including reorganization of equipment and employees; financing requirements; and
pending litigation. There can be no assurance as to when operations will resume.
In the short term, the Company intends to develop a plan for internal growth for
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc., (hereafter CCTECH)
which services the consumers of the State of Hawaii with high speed Internet
Access for residence and business uses. The assets were acquired from CCHONO,
which was a regional Internet Service Provider located in a leased location in
Honolulu, Hawaii. Prior to the asset acquisition by the Company, CCHONO was
engaged in the provision of internet access and computer consulting to the
regional Hawaii market for a period of three years. Cyber Cities Technologies,
Inc., (CCTECH) is currently engaged in the growth of the existing regional
market for dial up internet access, as well as the growth of Asynchronous Data
Subscriber Line (ADSL), the newest high speed Internet Access technology, in the
regional market.
The Company is currently doing business as CYBER CITY HONOLULU and CYBER CITY
MAUI, maintaining offices on the islands of Oahu and Maui. CCTECH also provides
computer and internet commerce consultation services to businesses. A long term
plan for nationwide internet service and a review of market opportunities
available to the Company is currently in process by Company management.
The Company plans to diversify its operations through the acquisition of
companies engaged in businesses unrelated to the oil and gas business. The
Company is not presently engaged in negotiations for the acquisition of any
companies operating in industries unrelated to the Company's business.
See below for a more detailed description of the Company's current operations,
conducted through its subsidiaries, as well as how the Company addresses
competitive business conditions, its position in the industry, and methods of
operations that are designed to serve its targeted customers.
The Company owns a tract of land containing five acres in Young County, Texas,
on which a metal building is situated that was purchased from a non-affiliate on
March 19, 1999, for a total purchase price of $12,500. The property is subject
to that certain Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust dated March 19, 1999,
in the principal amount of $11,500, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per
annum and payable in installments of approximately $245 per month commencing on
May 1, 1999, and terminating on April 1, 2004.
The Company leases four facilities used as oil field offices or salvage yards.
One, used for a portion of the year, is located in Runnels County, Texas, at
11813 North Highway 83, on
<PAGE> 8
approximately five acres one mile north of Ballinger, Texas, another two acre
yard is one mile further north; one is located at 408 South Highway 79, on
approximately three acres in the City of Olney, Texas; one is located at 505
Knox Street, on approximately five and one half acres in Young County, Texas;
and the other is located at 208 East Modoc on leased railroad company land of
approximately four acres in the City of Nowata, Oklahoma. With the exception of
Ballinger, all lessors are unaffiliated with the Company. The Company rented the
Ballinger facility on a month-to-month basis at a rate of $450 per month; the
Young County facility at a monthly rental of $550 pursuant to a renewable lease
with a purchase option; the Olney facility on a short term lease under an
agreement to improve and maintain physical possession; and the Nowata facility
is leased for $300 per month, and is being acquired under a purchase contract by
the Company, from an unaffiliated company, under an asset purchase agreement for
a total of $62,500. Closing is pending.
The Company has assumed liability for two leases of offices from which the
Company houses and operates its internet operations in the state of Hawaii. The
main office of the Company is located in the City of Honolulu, Hawaii, at 2628
Ualena Street, Suite C, in an industrial office / warehouse area adjoining to
and east of the Honolulu International Airport. The space is leased on a five
year lease (currently in year three) for a monthly rental of $1300, from an
unaffiliated company. The other leased location is on the island of Maui, in the
city of Kahului, at 355 Hukilike, Suite 103, in an industrial office / warehouse
area three miles west of the Kahului Airport. The space is leased on a five year
term (currently in year two) from an unaffiliated company.
The Company's executive offices are leased from an affiliate on a month-to-month
basis at the rate of $250 per month.
YANKEE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (YANKEE)
General. Yankee Development Corporation is a Texas corporation organized on
December 31, 1997. As described above, the corporation was acquired by the
Company in a reverse acquisition transaction consummated on April 23, 1998.
Yankee Development owns a working interest in proven, developed oil reserves on
2,300 acres in western Texas known as the Yankee (Canyon Sand) Field Unit, MA.,
RRC No. 03215, of Tom Green County, Texas, as set forth in that certain Unit
Agreement as recorded in Volume 405, Page 609 of the Deed Records of Tom Green
County, Texas. The acquisition cost of $3,711,000 assigned to the reserves at
the time of their acquisition in April 1998 represents the discounted net
present value of net revenues, and was calculated based upon the then market
price of $15.00 per each of 880,000 recoverable barrels of oil, less development
and operating costs, discounted at a rate of 10%. The current market price of
crude oil is approximately $25.00 per barrel, but the carrying value of the
reserves will not be increased. These proved, developed oil reserves are Yankee
Development's only significant assets. Management is negotiating with financial
partners to raise sufficient capital to properly drill and complete the required
number of wells to prove or disprove the field's reserve study. This could
possibly mean the drilling of up to twenty (20) wells, at a total cost of up to
$1,300,000. The results of drilling
<PAGE> 9
such wells can never be determined in advance. The industry has a history of
unprofitable efforts resulting from dry holes, or commercial wells which fail to
produce in quantities sufficient to provide an economic return. Yankee
Development, since inception, has generated no revenues from the production of
oil. No assurance can be given that Yankee Development will generate any
revenues or achieve profitability from the production of the proven, developed
reserves owned as of the date hereof or from oil and/or gas properties, if any,
acquired in the future.
Competition. With respect to Yankee Development's future acquisition of
additional developed oil and/or gas properties, there are a large number of
operators engaged in the exploration for and production of oil and gas and a
correspondingly high degree of competition exists for desirable oil and gas
prospects. Because of Yankee Development's operating history, limited to the
company's acquisition of proven, developed oil reserves in western Texas to be
further developed and produced in the future, Yankee Development may be at a
severe competitive disadvantage in its ability to purchase prospects. The oil
and gas industry is dominated by a number of large companies having financial
resources far in excess of Yankee Development's resources. The principal means
of competition for the acquisition of oil and gas leases are the payment of
bonuses at the time of acquisition of leases and property, the payment of
royalties from production, the amount of annual rental payments and the nature
of requirements for exploration and production. Companies with greater financial
resources, larger staffs, more sophisticated equipment and more extensive
experience will be in a better position than Yankee Development to compete for
oil and gas leases and properties. Additionally, the marketing of oil and gas,
if any, found and produced by the company will be affected by a number of
factors that are beyond Yankee Development's control, the exact nature of which
cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include, but are not limited to,
crude oil imports, the availability of adequate pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels and other matters
affecting the availability of a ready market, such as fluctuating supply and
demand. In recent years, crude oil and natural gas prices have declined because
of, among other factors, an oversupply in the world markets and decreased
demand. In the past year, oil prices have significantly increased and then
subsided somewhat. The recent volatility in the international energy markets
points out the inherent risks in the industry.
Regulation. The exploration for and production of oil and gas is generally
subject to regulation by state regulatory authorities. In some states, the
production of oil and gas is regulated by conservation laws and regulations,
which set allowable rates of production, regulate the spacing of wells and thus
control the number of wells that can be drilled in a given area and otherwise
control the conduct of oil and gas operations. Further, Yankee Development's
future drilling and production operations, if any, will be subject to state,
Federal and local environmental protection regulations that may necessitate
significant capital outlays that would materially affect the financial position
and business operations of the company. Despite the retention of qualified
engineers and operators, Yankee Development may be adversely affected by
pollution and environmental laws that protect against waste, conserve natural
resources and prevent pollution and damage to the environment, enacted by
Federal, state and local agencies in jurisdictions in which the company
operates. If any penalties or prohibitions were imposed on Yankee Development
for violating such regulations, the company's operations could be adversely
affected. Additionally, the production of oil and gas is subject to Federal
regulation with regard to the imposition of land use controls, the amount of oil
imported into the United States from
<PAGE> 10
other countries, taxation and other matters, that is complex and continuously
changing. Legislation adopted by Congress in some respects emphasizes decreasing
demand for, rather than increasing the supply of, oil and gas. Yankee
Development cannot predict the nature and terms of any energy legislation that
may be enacted by Congress in the future nor can the company be assured that any
such legislation would not have an adverse affect upon its business. In
addition, foreign countries establish prices and production quotas for petroleum
products from time to time with the intent of reducing global oversupply and
maintaining or increasing certain price levels. Management is unable to predict
the effect, if any, such actions would have on the amount of, or the prices
received for, oil and/or gas, if any, produced and sold from Yankee
Development's wells.
Title to Properties. Yankee Development believes it has satisfactory title to
all of its material properties in accordance with standards generally accepted
in the oil and gas industry. As is customary in the industry in the case of
undeveloped properties, little investigation of record title is made at the time
of acquisition. Investigations, including a title opinion of legal counsel,
generally are made before commencement of drilling operations. To the extent
title opinions or other investigations reflect title defects, Yankee
Development, rather than the seller of undeveloped property, typically is
responsible to cure any such title defects at the Company's expense. If the
Company was unable to remedy or cure title defects of a nature such that it
would not be prudent to commence drilling operations on the property, the
Company could suffer a loss of its entire investment in such property. Yankee
Development 's properties are subject to customary royalty, overriding royalty,
carried, net profits, working and other similar interests, liens incident to
operating agreements, liens for current taxes and other burdens.
Environmental Considerations. The exploration for, and development of, oil and
gas involves the extraction, production and transportation of materials which,
under certain conditions, can be hazardous or can cause environmental pollution
problems. In light of the current interest in environmental matters, Yankee
Development cannot predict what effect possible future public or private action
may have on the business of Yankee Development. Yankee Development is
continually taking actions it believes are necessary in its operations to ensure
conformity with applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations.
As of June 30, 2000, Yankee Development has not been fined or cited for any
environmental violations which would have a material adverse effect upon capital
expenditures, earnings, cash flows or the competitive position of Yankee
Development in the oil and gas industry.
Insurance Coverage. Yankee Development is subject to all the risks inherent in
the exploration for, and development of, oil and gas, including blowouts, fires
and other casualties. The Company maintains insurance coverage as is customary
for entities of a similar size engaged in operations similar to that of Yankee
Development, but losses can occur from uninsurable risks or in amounts in
excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event which is not
insured or not fully insured could have an adverse impact upon Yankee
Development's earnings, cash flows and financial position.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. In the interest of
providing the shareholders with certain information regarding Yankee
Development's future plans and
<PAGE> 11
operations, certain statements set forth in this Form 10KSB relate to
management's future plans and objectives. Such statements are forward- looking
statements within the meanings of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Although any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10KSB or
otherwise expressed by or on behalf of Yankee Development are, to the knowledge
and in the judgment of the officers and directors of Yankee Development,
expected to prove true and come to pass, there can be no assurances that any of
these expectations will prove correct or that any of the actions that are
planned will be taken. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties which may cause Yankee Development 's actual performance
and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any
projection, estimate or forecasted result. There are a number of risks and
uncertainties in the oil & gas industry.
Volatility of oil and gas prices. It is impossible to predict future oil and gas
price movements with certainty. Declines in oil and gas prices may materially
adversely affect Yankee Development 's financial condition, liquidity, ability
to finance planned capital expenditures and results of operations. Lower oil and
gas prices may also reduce the amount of oil and gas that Yankee Development can
produce economically.
Yankee Development 's revenues, profitability, future growth and ability to
borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well as the carrying value of its
properties, could be significantly affected by and / or dependent upon
prevailing prices of oil and gas. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have
been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile in the future.
Prices for oil and gas are subject to wide fluctuation in response to relatively
minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty
and a variety of additional factors that are beyond Yankee Development 's
control.
Competition from larger, more established oil and gas companies. Yankee
Development may encounter competition from other oil and gas companies in all
areas of its operation, including the acquisition of exploratory prospects and
proven properties. Yankee Development 's competitors include major integrated
oil and gas companies and numerous independent oil and gas companies,
individuals and drilling and income programs. Many of its competitors are large,
well-established companies with substantially larger operating staffs and
greater capital resources than Yankee Development 's and, in many instances,
have been engaged in the oil and gas business for a much longer time than Yankee
Development. Those companies may be able to pay more for exploratory prospects
and productive oil and gas properties, and may be able to define, evaluate, bid
for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than Yankee
Development 's financial or human resources permit. Yankee Development 's
ability to explore for oil and gas prospects and to acquire additional
properties in the future will be dependent upon its ability to conduct its
operations, to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate
transactions in highly competitive environments.
Risks of drilling activities. Yankee Development 's success could be materially
affected upon the success of a drilling program. Yankee Development 's future
drilling activities may not be successful and, if drilling activities are
unsuccessful, such failure will have an adverse effect on Yankee Development 's
future results of operations and financial condition. Oil and gas drilling
<PAGE> 12
involves numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil
or gas reservoirs will be encountered, even if the reserves targeted are
classified as proved. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is
often uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled
as a result of a variety of factors, including unexpected drilling conditions,
pressure or irregularities in formations, equipment failures or accidents,
adverse weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and
shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs and the delivery of
equipment. Although Yankee Development has identified numerous drilling
prospects, there can be no assurance that such prospects will be drilled or that
oil or gas will be produced from any such identified prospects or any other
prospects.
Availability of capital is important to the Company's ability to grow. The
acquisition of reserves is capital intensive, and funding for the costs of
acquisition may be greater than the Company's cash flow can provide. As a
result, additional financing may be required, and the availability or terms of
any such additional financing cannot be assured. In the event sufficient capital
resources are not available to the Company, it may negatively affect Yankee
Development 's flexibility in planning for and reacting to possible acquisition
activities.
Risks relating to the acquisition of oil and gas properties. The successful
acquisition of producing properties requires an assessment of recoverable
reserves, future oil and gas prices, operating costs, potential environmental
and other liabilities and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily
inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In connection with such an
assessment, Yankee Development will perform a review of the subject properties
that it believes to be generally consistent with industry practices. This
usually includes on-site inspections and the review of reports filed with
various regulatory entities. Such a review, however, will not reveal all
existing or potential problems, nor will it permit a buyer to become
sufficiently familiar with the properties to fully assess their deficiencies and
capabilities. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and
structural and environmental problems are not necessarily observable even when
an inspection is undertaken. Even when problems are identified, the seller may
be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection against all
or part of these problems. There can be no assurances that any acquisition of
property interests by Yankee Development will be successful and, if an
acquisition is unsuccessful, that the failure will not have an adverse effect on
Yankee Development 's future results of operations and financial condition.
Hazards relating to well operations and lack of insurance. The oil and gas
business involves certain hazards such as well blowouts; craterings; explosions;
uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids; fires; formations with abnormal
pressures; pollution; and releases of toxic gas or other environmental hazards
and risks, any of which could result in substantial losses to Yankee
Development. In addition, Yankee Development may be liable for environmental
damages caused by previous owners of property purchased or leased by Yankee
Development. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or
governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could reduce or
eliminate the funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions or
result in the loss of Yankee Development 's properties. While the Company
believes that it maintains all types of insurance commonly maintained in the oil
and gas industry,
<PAGE> 13
it does not maintain business interruption insurance. In addition, Yankee
Development cannot predict with certainty the circumstances under which an
insurer might deny coverage. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by
insurance could have a materially adverse effect on Yankee Development 's
financial condition and results of operations.
Future oil and gas production depends on continually replacing and expanding
reserves. In general, the volume of production from oil and gas properties
declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on
reservoir characteristics. Yankee Development 's future oil and gas production
is, therefore, could be affected by and be highly dependent upon its ability to
economically find, develop or acquire additional reserves in commercial
quantities. Except to the extent Yankee Development acquires properties
containing proved reserves or conducts successful exploration and development
activities, or both, the proved reserves of Yankee Development will decline as
reserves are produced. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring
reserves is capital-intensive. To the extent cash flow from operations is
reduced, and external reserves of capital become limited or unavailable, Yankee
Development 's ability to make the necessary capital investments to maintain or
expand its asset base of oil and gas reserves would be impaired. In addition,
there can be no assurance that Yankee Development 's future exploration,
development and acquisition activities will result in additional proved reserves
or that Yankee Development will be able to drill productive wells at acceptable
costs. Furthermore, although Yankee Development 's revenues could increase if
prevailing prices for oil and gas increase significantly, Yankee Development 's
finding and development costs could also increase.
Estimates of reserves and future cash flows are imprecise. Reservoir engineering
is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas
that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically
recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net cash flows necessarily depend
upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production
from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed
effects of regulations by governmental agencies, and assumptions concerning
future oil and gas prices, future operating costs, severance and excise taxes,
development costs and workover and remedial costs, all of which may in fact vary
considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the
economically recoverable quantities of oil and gas attributable to any
particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk
of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected from them
prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers but at different
times, may vary substantially, and such reserve estimates may be subject to
downward or upward adjustment based upon such factors. In addition, the status
of the exploration and development program of any oil and gas company is
ever-changing. Consequently, reserve estimates also vary over time. Actual
production, revenues and expenditures with respect to Yankee Development 's
reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.
P & A REMEDIATION, LLC. (PAR TEXAS)
General. P & A Remediation, LLC, is a Texas limited liability company organized
on October 16, 1998, by the Company and Simpco, which own 99% and 1%,
respectively, of the outstanding
<PAGE> 14
membership interests in the company. Prior to the acquisition of Simpco by the
Company effective as of January 15, 1999, P & A Remediation was managed as a
joint venture, with the Company contributing working capital and personnel and
Simpco contributing management expertise and equipment. After the acquisition of
Simpco, most of Simpco's management members became full-time employees of P & A
Remediation. Currently, none of these individuals are employed by PAR. Further,
P & A Remediation leases the oil field equipment used in its business operations
from Simpco or unaffiliated third parties.
PAR Texas' environmental remediation and salvage business involves the plugging
of oil wells and the remediation and clean-up of oil fields in accordance with
government rules and regulations applicable to the environment, and the salvage
or purchase for resale on the secondary market of construction materials, pipe,
steel tubulars and used and reconditioned oil field equipment. To the extent
practicable, PAR Texas performs its services, including testing, threading and
reworking of steel pipe recovered from the field, at the oil field salvage yards
leased by the Company in Ballinger and Olney, Texas. Although PAR Texas desires
to expand its customer base to include governmental agencies such as the State
of Texas' Railroad Commission, the company's customers are presently limited to
private and publicly-held oil and/or gas companies which are operators of oil
wells and fields requiring PAR Texas's plugging, remediation and/or salvage
services. The company's operations are presently limited to the north central
and central west regions of Texas. Since the commencement of plugging business
operations by PAR Texas in April 1999, through June 30, 2000 the company's
plugging activities (approximately 131 wells) have generated gross revenues from
services approximating $391,470. In addition, aggregate gross revenues
approximating $113,892 generated during the period from the date of the
company's inception in October 1998 through March 2000, are attributable to
resales by the company of used and reconditioned oil field equipment purchased
for resale.
PAR Texas employs two types of contractual arrangements, cash and salvage, in
connection with its oil well plugging and remediation operations. Contractual
arrangements are often verbal in nature and may be turnkey on specific oil wells
or leases (groups of wells). Under the salvage type of contract, the Company
receives as its compensation pipe and/or used oil well equipment mutually agreed
upon by the parties. Revenue is recognized, and the pipe and/or equipment are
included in inventory, based upon the applicable wholesale market prices of the
items or the prices at which the items are purchasable for resale on the open
market. These inventory items, whether received by PAR Texas as consideration
for the performance of plugging and/or remediation services or purchased
outright for purposes of resale, are resold to customers including, primarily,
oil and construction companies. Typical cash payment arrangements for plugging a
well involve a payment in the amount of a percentage of the total estimated cost
of the job at the time that equipment is moved on site, with final payment due
upon completion of the work and delivery of the certification document (RRC Form
W-3) required to be filed with the Texas Railroad Commission. PAR Texas has
experienced limited bad debts to date. Management attributes this to the fact
that the company policy is to, only upon the receipt of final payment, deliver
the cementing affidavits required to be filed by the operator with the Texas
regulatory authority indicating that the well was properly plugged in accordance
with applicable state regulations and specifications.
<PAGE> 15
The direct gross profit on the industry jobs presently being performed by PAR
Texas is generally approximately 35%. Management believes that the gross profit
margin on the same job, if performed for a government agency, could increase to
55%. If PAR Texas is able to obtain contracts from state agencies, the Company
expects that payment would typically be received thirty days from the date of
completion of the well(s) and all contract requirements, thus requiring that the
Company have additional working capital to cover expenses before payment is
received. PAR Texas is generally required to pay suppliers and subcontractors
for pipe, equipment and other supplies and threading, refurbishing and other
services on a cash on demand, or "COD", basis. Accordingly, should PAR Texas be
successful in expanding its customer base to include government agencies, of
which there is no assurance, its working capital may not be adequate to enable
the company to continue in operation without the receipt of additional funding.
The primary government customer targeted by the Company is the State of Texas'
Oil Well Plugging and Cleanup Fund (the "Cleanup Fund"), because of the
continuously increasing number of oil wells being added to the State of Texas'
inventory of wells requiring state-funded remediation. The Cleanup Fund, which
was enacted by Texas Senate Bill 1103 in 1991, created new sources of revenue
and authorized the Railroad Commission of the State of Texas to use the funds
for the purpose of plugging abandoned or environmentally undesirable oil and gas
wells. Each Railroad Commission District Office prepares bid contracts, referred
to as extended service contracts, which typically group twenty to forty
abandoned and plug-ordered wells that are available for bid by the Company and
others. Company management believes that the abandoned and inactive wells that
are candidates for state-funded plugging number in the tens of thousands as of
the date hereof. This calculation is based upon management's belief that there
are, on average, ten oil or gas wells, known as "stripper wells," producing, on
average, less than ten barrels of oil per day, per each of 12,500 operators
registered with the Railroad Commission listed in the Commission's inventory of
wells requiring state-funded remediation. Further, wells are added continuously
at the rate of 250 per month in an order of priority based on the perceived risk
to human health and the environment. The Dallas Morning News stated that there
are "as many as 17,000 wells abandoned across the state today..." on June 6,
2000. The past few years decline in the world price of crude oil has created
severe economic hardships on many small and medium sized operators with
"stripper" production. Due to the economic position in which they have been
placed many operators voluntarily decided to shut-in or abandon their wells, or
in the alternative, to not return to production after mechanical or equipment
failure. The recent months' increase in prices has made some marginal production
now economically viable. Yet many operators lack financial resources to reopen
their wells, and still others await longer term price stability before making
decisions on reopening wells.
In addition to the well plugging and clean-up operations, PAR Texas has the
ability to serve industry in the oil well servicing business by utilizing the
pulling machine equipment that the company has at its disposal, and other
equipment that is available in the marketplace, if it has adequate working
capital and can hire the necessary crews. Additional working capital would be
required, because PAR Texas is generally required to pay suppliers for equipment
and other supplies or services on a cash on demand, or "COD", basis.
Accordingly, should PAR Texas be successful in expanding its customer base to
include the industry well serving jobs, of which there is no assurance, its
existing working capital may not be adequate to enable the Company to continue
in operation without the receipt of additional funding.
<PAGE> 16
In addition to oil well plugging and clean-up operations, PAR Texas serves as a
reseller of construction equipment, steel pipe and tubulars and select used and
reconditioned oil field equipment. These items are either obtained from the
company's salvage operations or purchased outright for resale on the secondary
market. The company is currently planning to resume remediation work on a
Conoco, Inc., 58-mile salvage project that involves the recovery of at least
150,000 feet of three and one-half to six inch structural pipe which the Company
intends to resell for construction and other applications. Management believes,
without assurance, that the price obtainable for the recovered pipe will range
from $.80 to $1.50 per foot and that P & A Remediation will incur costs of
approximately $.30 per foot to gather and remove the pipe and additional expense
to straighten, clean and/or ready the pipe for resale. The number of individuals
employed by PAR Texas has increased from four in November 1998 to approximately
eighteen as of the date hereof.
Competition. While PAR Texas has numerous competitors conducting plugging and
pipe salvage operations in the north central and central west regions of Texas
where it presently operates and a small number of capable oil well service and
cementing businesses in various locations throughout the southwestern United
States, the environmental remediation and salvage business is highly fragmented
in general. That is, the business is characterized by a large number of
companies which specialize in only one or a few, but not all, of the individual
job service requirements. This requires an operator, at increased cost, to
retain the services of a number of companies in order to complete the job of
plugging a well. Further, management perceives many of its competitors to be
undercapitalized. Accordingly, the Company's business plan involves the
acquisition of related businesses and additional equipment and personnel so as
to be capable of performing for the customer, on a turnkey basis and at
reasonable cost, all of the individual job service requirements involved in the
plugging of a single well. Company management believes that, should PAR Texas
achieve its desired level of vertical integration, which could not be assured,
the company would have a significant competitive advantage over its competitors.
Achievement of this goal, however, depends upon the receipt by the Company of
significant additional funding required to consummate the acquisition of, and
operate, the acquired companies.
Regulation. The oil well plugging and remediation operations of the Company in
the State of Texas are subject to regulation by the Oil and Gas Division of the
Railroad Commission of the State of Texas (the "Railroad Commission"). As early
as 1899, the State of Texas has had laws requiring oil wells to be constructed
with wrought iron or steel casing and to be plugged upon abandonment for the
purpose of isolating oil and gas from fresh water formations. While the purpose
of these early laws was to protect oil and gas fields from contamination by
fresh water, the laws have been retained today for the opposite purpose, the
protection of the environment from contamination by oil, gas and their
byproducts. The Railroad Commission's Oil and Gas Division was created by
statute in 1919 to regulate oil and gas exploration and production operations in
the state's numerous oil and gas fields. In the 1960's, the Railroad Commission
undertook the plugging, using limited state funds appropriated from general
revenues, of certain wells abandoned by a Railroad Commission-registered
operator because of insolvency, negligence or otherwise. In 1983, a new
state-funded well plugging fund was established and, in
<PAGE> 17
1991, additional authority and funding was obtained by the Railroad Commission
to address the growing problem of abandoned oil fields. In 1992, the rules for
plugging wells were amended, including the enactment of more stringent
requirements for monitoring and testing older, inactive wells having greater
potential for damaging the environment. At one time recently, the Railroad
Commission's plugging fund had a backlog of in excess of 1,800 wells requiring
plugging and was engaged in the review of seventy contaminated oil fields as
candidates for state-funded remediation. Company management believes that the
abandoned and inactive wells that are candidates for state-funded plugging
number in the tens of thousands as of the date hereof. This calculation is based
upon management's belief that there are, on average, ten oil or gas wells listed
in the Railroad Commission's inventory of wells requiring state-funded
remediation per each of 12,500 operators registered with the Railroad
Commission. Further, wells are added continuously at the rate of 250 per month
in an order of priority based on the perceived risk to human health and the
environment. The Dallas Morning News stated that there are "as many as 17,000
wells abandoned across the state today..." on June 6, 2000.
Current Activities. Since March 2000, the Company's well plugging and pipe sales
operations in Texas have been suspended. Since June 2000, the Company's well
plugging operations in Oklahoma have been suspended. Both suspensions are a
result of multiple factors, including reorganization of equipment and employees;
financing requirements; and pending litigation. There can be no assurance as to
when operations will resume.
SIMPCO, INC. (SIMPCO)
General. Simpco, a Texas corporation, was acquired by the Company in a
transaction effective as of January 15, 1999, as a result of which the Company
issued and sold a total of 850,000 newly-issued, restricted shares of Common
Stock in consideration of the exchange therefor of 100% of Simpco's outstanding
shares of common stock. Additional consideration for the acquisition was the
issuance of a promissory note for $110,000 payable to the Simpco shareholders,
and the assumption of $75,000 in Simpco or Simpco shareholders debt. Simpco was
engaged in oil and gas remediation operations prior to the effective date of its
acquisition by the Company on January 15, 1999. Since that date, Simpco has
ceased all ongoing operations except as procurement agent for state contracts
for PAR Oklahoma, and as the owner and lessor to P & A Remediation, also
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, as the lessees, of the used oil field
and construction equipment, including, but not limited to, pulling machines,
trucks, trailers, bulldozers, wireline vehicles and specialty machined tools,
valued at approximately $960,000 as of the effective date on January 15, 1999,
of the Company's acquisition of Simpco.
In addition to the equipment owned by Simpco on the date of its acquisition by
the Company, Simpco leases to P & A Remediation other items of oil field and
construction equipment acquired by the Company from unaffiliated third parties
and assigned to Simpco subsequent to January 15, 1999. These items include a
double triple workover rig, a cementing system, a water truck, a bulldozer, a
wireline truck and all the specialty equipment necessary to cement oil wells,
which are leased by the Company from Mr. Rodney W. Simpson (the uncle of Mr.
Richard Simpson, a 8.21% shareholder of the Company) for a period of five years
through March 17, 2004, pursuant to that certain Equipment Lease Agreement dated
April 15, 1999. The
<PAGE> 18
lease provides for the payment of rental in the amount of $1,093 per month
through March 17, 2002, and monthly rental payments in the amount of $818
commencing April 17, 2002, through March 17, 2004. Upon termination, or the
earlier pay-off, of the lease, Simpco has the option to purchase the equipment
for the sum of $10.00.
In addition to the above-described equipment, in a separate transaction, Simpco
received from the Company other items of specialty oil field and construction
equipment that are directly related to and used in conjunction with a double
pole (single tubing) workover rig and water truck purchased by the Company from
a then-employee of a Company subsidiary, Eddie J. Gober, pursuant to the terms
of that certain Promissory Note and Bill of Sale dated March 29, 1999. The
$15,700 note provides for payments of $1,000 per month, including principal and
interest, on the anniversary date until paid in full.
In addition to the above-described equipment, in a separate transaction, Simpco
received from the Company other items of specialty oil field equipment that are
directly related to and used in conjunction with wire line truck and related
equipment purchased by the Company from an unaffiliated person, Russell Auto
Parts, pursuant to the terms of that certain Promissory Note and Bill of Sale
dated April 12, 1999. The $8,000 note provides for payments of $500 per month,
without interest, to start June 1, 1999 and thereafter monthly until paid in
full. Monthly payments were made until January 1, 2000, when the holder of the
note verbally agreed to alter the repayment terms of the original note to add
three payments onto the end of the note and forgive the payments due in January,
February, and March 2000, for and in consideration of the payment of $200 in
fees, and the addition of interest to the then $4,500 balance at 10% for the
balance of the term of the note. All other terms remained the same.
In addition to the above-described equipment, Simpco purchased a 1996 Ford F 350
Crewcab pickup truck from an unaffiliated person under an installment contract
and promissory note dated May 14, 1999, for the purchase price of approximately
$19,596. The contract requires the payment of a total of $15,775 in monthly
installments over a period of three years commencing June 25, 1999, at an
interest rate of 10% per annum.
In addition to the above-described equipment, Simpco received from the Company
by assignment a 1995 Ford F350 Supercab pickup truck and a 1996 Ford F350
Crewcab flatbed truck, each of which was purchased from an unaffiliated person
under promissory note and installment contracts. The purchase prices of the 1995
and 1996 Ford were approximately $17,995 and $19,657, respectively. The contract
for the purchase of the 1995 Ford requires the Company's payment of a total of
$15,000 in monthly installments over a period of three years commencing May 19,
1999, at an interest rate of 16.5% per annum. The contract for the purchase of
the 1996 Ford requires the Company's payment of a total of $18,300 in monthly
installments over a period of three years commencing December 16, 1999, at an
interest rate of 17.5% per annum.
In the aggregate, Simpco leases or has purchased, subject to promissory notes, a
variety of equipment and vehicles from a number of unaffiliated third parties.
The lease which contains a purchase option upon expiration, will expire March
17, 2004. The lease requires monthly payments of $1,093. The equipment and
vehicle purchase notes are payable with the latest final
<PAGE> 19
payment due in December, 2002, bear interest between 10% and 17.5% annually, and
require aggregate monthly payments of approximately $3,200. No single equipment
lease or purchase is essential to the continuing operations of PAR; further,
equipment and vehicles of the type subject to the leases and purchase notes are
generally available in the marketplace.
In addition to the above-described equipment, in multiple and separate
transactions, Simpco has received from the Company various other items of
specialty oil field and construction equipment that are directly related to and
used in conjunction with the day to day operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
Competition. As Simpco's only business is the leasing of equipment and vehicles
to affiliates, and as a contract procurement agent for affiliates, it is not a
revenue-producing operation of the Company, and is not subject to competition.
Regulation. As a lessor to affiliated companies only, the only regulations
applicable to Simpco are vehicle licensing and weight requirements imposed by
the states and the federal government.
Current Activities. Lease of equipment to affiliates has been suspended while
the affiliates are being reorganized and refinanced, and are dealing in
litigation.
P & A REMEDIATION, LLC. (PAR OKLAHOMA)
General. P & A Remediation, LLC, (hereafter PAR Oklahoma) is an Oklahoma limited
liability company organized on October 31, 1999, by the Company. Field
management and support staff of Company operations in the state of Oklahoma are
employed by PAR Oklahoma. PAR Oklahoma leases the oil field equipment used in
its business operations from the Company, Simpco, or unaffiliated third parties.
PAR Oklahoma's environmental remediation and salvage business involves the
plugging of oil wells and the remediation and clean-up of oil fields in
accordance with government rules and regulations applicable to the environment;
as well as the salvage or purchase for resale on the secondary market of
construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and used and reconditioned oil
field equipment. To the extent practicable, P & A Remediation performs its
services, including testing, threading and reworking of steel pipe recovered
from the field, at the oil field salvage yard purchased by the Company in
Nowata, Oklahoma.
Working from a newly acquired location on leased railroad company land, in
December 1999, the Company, acting through Simpco, successfully bid on and, in
January 2000, was awarded the initial bid contract on the first phase of the
Oklahoma Corporation Commission's management of the clean up project on the
north shores of Oologah Lake in Rogers County, Oklahoma. For a combined total of
$72,900 the Company committed to properly plug eighty one (81) abandoned and
purging oil wells within the confines of a forty two square mile site that has
several thousand wells to plug according to published statements by EPA
officials.
Administered by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the United States Coast
Guard, and the Environmental Protection Agency, according to published reports
the well plugging project is the
<PAGE> 20
largest of its kind. To date more than eight hundred abandoned, unplugged wells
have been identified within the area targeted by the project. Money from the Oil
Spill Liability Trust Fund, a $50 million emergency response fund, will be used
to finance the project. The fund, created by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, is
earmarked for cleaning up oil spills that are contaminating or threatening to
contaminate the nation's waterways. Based upon EPA reports, Company management
believes that the abandoned and inactive wells that are candidates for this
project number in the thousands as of the date hereof, and that the project may
have an effective life of five years and potentially as much as $16 million in
revenue available. There can be no assurance that the project will continue,
that the Company will win any of the contracts for the project, that the Company
will have the resources to complete the work under any such contracts or that
the Company, if it receives any such contracts, will be able to complete them
profitably.
PAR Oklahoma desires to expand its customer base to include private and
publicly-held oil and/or gas companies which are operators of oil wells and
fields requiring PAR Oklahoma's plugging, remediation and/or salvage services,
throughout the state of Oklahoma. The company's operations are presently limited
to the northeast regions of Oklahoma. Since the commencement of business
operations by PAR Oklahoma in November, 1999, and the award of the first phase
of the EPA project in January 2000, the company's activities have included the
plugging of all eighty-one wells, and have earned the $72,900 of the first
awarded contract. Other than the initial EPA bid contract, the Company has been
awarded other single well contracts from the OCC on jobs that are unrelated to
the EPA cleanup project mentioned above. These state funded contracts have not
been completed as of this date.
PAR Oklahoma is paid for its services under the guidelines of the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission, the United States Coast Guard, and the Environmental
Protection Agency on the Oologah Lake project in Rogers County, Oklahoma.
Payment for services performed for industry in the oil well service business
will be on a strict invoice contract basis. Company management has the
discretion on whether or not to establish credit arrangements with its oil well
service customers, but generally the company policy is to get payment upon
completion of work, thereby eliminating the possibility of credit loss.
For anticipated plugging and clean up operations with private industry, PAR
Oklahoma contemplates employing two types of contractual arrangements, cash and
salvage, in connection with its oil well plugging and remediation operations,
similar to its counterpart operating in the state of Texas.
Though the Company intends to work for industry predominantly on a cash or
payment due upon receipt invoice basis, there will arise situations that call
for other contractual agreements. These contractual arrangements are sometimes
verbal and may be turnkey on specific oil wells or leases (groups of wells).
Under the salvage type of contract, the Company receives as its compensation
pipe and/or used oil well equipment mutually agreed upon by the parties. Revenue
is recognized, and the pipe and/or equipment are included in inventory, based
upon the applicable wholesale market prices of the items or the prices at which
the items are purchasable for resale on the open market. These inventory items,
whether received by PAR Oklahoma as consideration for the performance of
plugging and/or remediation services, or purchased outright for purposes of
resale, are resold to customers including, primarily, oil and construction
companies. Typical cash
<PAGE> 21
payment arrangements for plugging a well involve a payment in the amount of a
percentage of the total estimated cost of the job at the time that equipment is
moved on site, with final payment due upon completion of the work and delivery
of the certification document (OCC Form 1003) required to be filed with the
Oklahoma Corporation Commission. PAR Oklahoma has experienced limited bad debts
to date because its sole business activity has been working with the OCC on a
government funded project. The Company has a strategy to minimize any bad debt
exposure in its operations in Oklahoma. Only upon the receipt of final payment,
does the Company deliver the cementing affidavits required to be filed by the
operator with the Oklahoma regulatory authority indicating that the well was
properly plugged in accordance with applicable state regulations and
specifications.
The geographic area typical of north east Oklahoma and southeast Kansas has a
market of abandoned oil wells different (though in principle the same) from
those that PAR Texas has encountered. Many of the wells drilled in this part of
the United States were drilled with the technology of, and in the era of, the
`oil boom' of the late 19th century. The producing horizon that is predominant
in the area, and the horizon specifically encountered on the project mentioned,
is significantly shallower that their counterparts in PAR Texas. Due to this
profound difference, the kinds of equipment used in the region varies
significantly from the Company's Texas operations. Much of the industry
equipment that is not sufficiently heavy enough to work in the regions of Texas
that PAR Texas works in, will work in the operations of Par Oklahoma. Due to
this, and other factors, the direct gross profit on the industry jobs presently
being performed by PAR Oklahoma, is generally approximately 55%. The gross
profit margin on the same job, management believes, with no assurances, if
performed for a government agency, could increase due to the volume of wells
typically put into a bid package or the `emergency' time frame involved.
The negative facet of working for government is the cash flow from operations.
Payment would typically be received thirty days from the date of completion of
the well(s), all contract requirements, and invoicing, thus requiring additional
working capital to cover expenses before payment is received. PAR Oklahoma is
generally required to pay suppliers and subcontractors for pipe, equipment and
other supplies and threading, refurbishing and other services on a cash on
demand, or "COD", basis. Accordingly, should PAR Oklahoma be successful in
expanding its customer base to include government agencies, of which there is no
assurance, its working capital may not be adequate to enable the company to
continue in operation without the receipt of additional funding.
For the specific project on the northern shores of Lake Oologah in Rogers
County, Oklahoma, the Corporation Commission District Office prepares bid
contracts, referred to as an `Invitation to Bid', which typically has grouped
forty to one hundred abandoned and plug-ordered wells in an `Invitation to Bid',
that is available for bid by the Company and others.
In the normal day to day operations of the office, the Corporation Commission
District Office also prepares bid contracts for single wells (or small packages
of wells) that are plug-ordered, or `emergency' wells that are available for bid
by the Company and others. With the Company operating in the area, on similar
jobs within the project, PAR Oklahoma has the capability to
<PAGE> 22
expand its market with only marginal increases in operating costs if the Company
had the working capital to acquire more equipment for state 'emergency' well
jobs. Additional working capital would also be required to fund expanded
operations, because PAR Oklahoma is generally required to pay suppliers and
subcontractors for equipment, other supplies and services on a cash on demand,
or "COD", basis. Accordingly, should PAR Oklahoma be successful in expanding its
customer base to include the `emergency' well jobs of government agencies, of
which there is no assurance, its existing working capital may not be adequate to
enable the Company to continue in operation without the receipt of additional
funding.
In addition to the well plugging and clean-up operations, PAR Oklahoma has the
ability to serve industry in the oil well servicing business by utilizing the
pulling machine equipment that the company has at its disposal, and other
equipment that is available in the marketplace, if it has adequate working
capital and can hire the necessary crews. Additional working capital would be
required, because PAR Oklahoma is generally required to pay suppliers for
equipment and other supplies or services on a cash on demand, or "COD", basis.
Accordingly, should PAR Oklahoma be successful in expanding its customer base to
include the industry well jobs, of which there is no assurance, its existing
working capital may not be adequate to enable the Company to continue in
operation without the receipt of additional funding.
In addition to oil well plugging and clean-up operations, PAR Oklahoma serves as
a reseller of construction equipment, steel pipe and tubulars and select used
and reconditioned oil field equipment. These items are either obtained from the
Company's parallel salvage operations or purchased outright for resale on the
secondary market.
The pending purchase of the location from which PAR Oklahoma operates will
afford an opportunity to supplement purchased operations by the Company in
Texas, and give the Company the capability to increase the market price of steel
tubulars it handles by threading and testing its inventory before resale. In
March of 1999, the Company purchased the physical assets of Jeffries Pipe &
Supply in north central Texas. The assets were comprised of steel testing and
threading equipment, the facility being one of three facilities available to the
open industry market in southern Oklahoma and central and west Texas. The
Company chose to dismantle the assets and move them to the Ballinger, Texas,
yard location. The Nowata leased yard location has a fully equipped and
functionally similar, though smaller, pipe threading facility. Use of this
facility, along with the establishment of operations of the previously acquired
equipment, will allow PAR Oklahoma and PAR Texas to work together in the
marketing of steel tubulars that are acquired by the Company in its salvage
operations.
The Company will require additional investment and working capital to expand
into this facet of its operations. PAR Oklahoma and PAR Texas are generally
required to pay suppliers and subcontractors for pipe, equipment and other
supplies and threading, refurbishing and other services on a cash on demand, or
"COD", basis. Accordingly, should the Company be successful in expanding its
customer base to include government agencies, of which there is no assurance,
its working capital may not be adequate to enable the company to continue in
operation without the receipt of additional funding.

Competition. While PAR Oklahoma has numerous competitors conducting plugging and
pipe salvage operations in the north east regions of Oklahoma and south west
Kansas, where it presently competes, and a small number of very capable oil well
service and cementing businesses in various locations throughout the
southwestern United States, the environmental remediation and salvage business
is highly fragmented in general. That is, the business is characterized by a
large number of companies which specialize in only one or a few, but not all, of
the individual job service requirements; thus requiring an operator, at
increased cost, to retain the services of a number of companies in order to
complete the job of plugging a well. Further, management perceives many of its
competitors to be undercapitalized. Accordingly, PAR Oklahoma's business plan
involves the acquisition of related businesses and additional equipment and
personnel so as to be capable of performing for the customer, on a turnkey basis
and at reasonable cost, all of the individual job service requirements involved
in the plugging of a single well. Company management believes that, should PAR
Oklahoma achieve its desired level of vertical integration, which could not be
assured, the company would have a significant competitive advantage over its
competitors. Achievement of this goal, however, depends upon the receipt by the
Company of significant additional funding required to consummate the acquisition
of, and operate, the acquired companies.
Regulation. The oversight of oil well drilling, production, and plugging/
remediation operations in the state of Oklahoma is a division of the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission (the "OCC"). The Oil & Gas Conservation Commission has
the mission statement `... to balance the rights of all parties, assist the
domestic oil and gas industry, protect and preserve the environment, conserve
the natural resources, and enforce the applicable rules and statutes of our
state with the highest degree of honesty and integrity for the people we serve.'
Like other states, in the late 19th century, the south west United States `oil
boom' required oversight. Created by statute, the OCC was created to regulate
oil and gas exploration and production operations in the state's numerous oil
and gas fields. The Company is also subject to federal jurisdiction when
operating within the confines of federal or Indian lands.
Current Activities. Collection of the Company's receivable for the EPA contract
has been delayed by a lawsuit filed in the state of Oklahoma by former employees
and associates of the Company. Management believes that this will be resolved in
favor of the Company. The Company has suspended bidding on additional contracts,
pending reorganization and refinancing, as well as the completion of the
litigation.
CYBER CITIES TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (CCTECH)
General. Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. (hereafter CCTECH), is a Hawaii
corporation organized on December 30, 1999, by the Company, to operate the
internet service assets in Hawaii that the Company acquired as of January 1,
2000, from Cyber City Honolulu, Inc (hereafter CCHONO).
CCTECH is engaged in the service of an existing client base in the Hawaii
regional internet service market. This client base of about 2,500 consists of
approximately (a) 80% conventional residential dial up access accounts, (b)
approximately 10% business access accounts, and (c) approximately 10%
Asynchronous Data Subscriber Line (ADSL) access. CCTECH maintains
<PAGE> 24
two resellers of its services to the resellers' client base, which represents
approximately 15% of the conventional dial up access customers. Prior to the
consummation of the asset acquisition, CCHONO had been in business for three
years in the Honolulu market and for one year in the Wailuku market on the
island of Maui. For those three years, according to published company
information, CCHONO experienced an average growth rate rate of 34% each year in
gross revenue, while maintaining expense growth to 21% annually. Gross revenue
for CCHONO for 1999 was approximately $ 425,000. Gross revenue since its
acquisition on January 1, 2000, through June 30, 2000, was $253,900. CCHONO's
limited capitalization and cash / banking position would not allow for it to
take advantage of the increase in its market to fulfill the needed growth in the
operation of the company.
CCTECH uses two major Internet Access wholesalers, GTE Hawaiian Telephone, Inc.
and AT&T Internet Access. It employs access equipment, leased to ensure the
latest technology available to the consumer, to allow the client's computer to
call for access on a local exchange. This equipment, originally leased from
Ascend Communications, is presently provided by Lucent Technologies, Inc.
(following the recent acquisition of Ascend Communications by Lucent
Technologies, Inc). This equipment currently is state of the art and requires
limited upgrading to service its regional market at this time. The growth
pattern of this market is such that CCTECH is now capable of serving regional
growth with negligible growth of expenses, through the substitution of new
equipment leases in place of matured leases, resulting in increased profit.
However, should CCTECH be successful in expanding its customer base
significantly, of which there is no assurance, without sufficient equipment
capacity upgrades, its working capital may not be adequate to enable the company
to continue in operation without the receipt of additional funding. CCTECH
distributes licensed software, from both Microsoft and Netscape, customized to
provide the user with the easiest possible installation of the system settings.
CCTECH offers computer consulting services to home and business network
customers. These services represent a significant growth area for this business,
as the traditional business client represents only approximately 10% of CCTECH's
revenue. These services are provided to advise the client on the type of network
to be developed, necessary security measures, type of equipment to be used, and,
if necessary, to build the desired network for the customer. Internet web based
work is performed in two ways. The first is the traditional small web page
product which is performed in-house, and the second is the larger project
requiring specialty work, such as e-commerce or extensive graphics work, which
CCTECH sub-contracts to professional designers. One area of growing interest is
the creation of Virtual Private Networking (VPN), which is one mechanism that
allows a company to have telecommuting employees. This is done through the use
of a provider, such as Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc., and ideally access such
as Asynchronous Data Subscriber Line (ADSL), and the recommended network
equipment on the client's site. Management believes that this type of access is
the only platform currently available at commercially reasonable prices that
allow the security necessary to meet the client's security needs.
CCTECH offers both residential and business consumers an access connection
referred to as Asynchronous Data Subscriber Line (ADSL). This type of access
does not require the client
<PAGE> 25
computer or network to "Dial-up" the access network, but provides a continuous
connection through the current phone line. This type of access has two major
benefits to CCTECH's client base: one is the need for only one phone line, and
the other is the high speed of the connection. This type of networking
represents approximately 10% of the corporation's revenue and has grown to this
point in less than 7 months, following the introduction of the product by GTE
Hawaiian Telephone. GTE Hawaiian Telephone, Inc. is in the process of upgrading
the remaining areas of the State of Hawaii to enable consumers to choose this
alternative network connection. Most subscribers find that the convenience of
continued use of the lone phone line while using their computer on the Internet
has proven its worth. This is additionally an ideal solution for many of the
businesses in Honolulu, where building infrastructure does not support the
addition of any more phone lines. This solution, teamed with an aggressive
Internet Service Provider, has enabled several businesses to free two or three
of their existing phone lines that have been recently used for Internet Access.
This area also represents a large target area for growth.
Competition. While CCTECH has numerous competitors in its region of operations,
it has several market advantages. With the pricing of its services, CCTECH's
predecessor had a historical growth pattern in excess of its competition.
According to published company information, since the beginning of Cyber City
Honolulu, Inc. in 1996, there have been nine regional competitors created. None
are in existence today. CCTECH's primary and largest competitor has been in the
market for over twice the period and has begun expanding to the other islands
during its latest fiscal year. While the primary regional competitors continue
to experience moderate growth in the Hawaii market, few have experienced the
historical growth of this operation. The single largest competitor in the market
to the dial up regional Internet Service Provider is the cable modem system in
use in Honolulu, by Oceanic Cable, a subsidiary of Time Warner, Inc. With
availability limited to certain service areas, cost is a factor affecting cable
services. With cost and required reliability comparable to the capabilities of
the telephone system, consumer loyalty is dependent on reliability as well as
speed. In the last half of 1999, consumers, both residential and business
clients, have added security to the list of desires to keep loyalty. The only
present solution for the required security is the Asynchronous Data Subscriber
Line (ADSL) connection discussed earlier.
Industry Regulation and Changes. While to date there has been no regulation of
content or commerce utilizing the Internet, there are several potential changes
that the industry may potentially feel. There are a number of Internet Service
Providers (ISP's) that are engaged in the profitable area of Long Distance
Telephony, which is presently not regulated in any fashion. While there have
been several attempts to classify these ISP's as Long Distance Carriers and
Surcharge their services as are the Long Distance Phone Carriers, none have been
successful at introducing any type of taxation to date. Additionally, currently
there is no Federal or local taxation of the commerce conducted over the
Internet.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Oil Development Projects and Acquisitions - Company Reserves, Production and
Discussion. The following discussion of the Company's properties and potential
capital projects contains forward-looking statements that are based on current
expectations, estimates and projections about the oil and gas industry,
management's beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as
"projects," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "plans," "could,"
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled "Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" under Items I. & 2. for a
discussion of factors which could affect the outcome of the forward-looking
statements.
Oil Reserves. The Company owns a working interest in proven, developed oil
reserves on approximately 2,300 acres in western Texas known as the Yankee
(Canyon Sand) Field Unit, MA., RRC No. 03215, of Tom Green County, Texas, as set
forth in that certain Unit Agreement as recorded in Volume 405, Page 609 of the
Deed Records of Tom Green County, Texas. The acquisition cost of $3,711,000
assigned to the reserves at the time of their acquisition in April 1998
represents the discounted net present value of net revenues, and was calculated
based upon the then market price of $15.00 per each of 880,000 recoverable
barrels of oil, less development and operating costs, discounted at a rate of
10%.
Future Plans. With a continuation of the current world market and pricing for
crude oil, the Company plans to initiate a plan to raise sufficient capital to
properly drill and complete the required number of wells to prove or disprove
the Company's field's reserve study. This could possibly mean the drilling of up
to twenty (20) wells, at a total cost of up to $1,300,000. The results of
drilling such wells can never be determined in advance. The industry has a
history of unprofitable efforts resulting from dry holes, or commercial wells
which fail to produce in quantities sufficient to provide an economic return.
Yankee Development, since inception, has generated no revenues from the
production of oil. No assurance can be given that Yankee Development will
generate any revenues or achieve profitability from the production of the
<PAGE> 28
proven, developed reserves owned as of the date hereof or from oil and/or gas
properties, if any, acquired in the future.
Average Sales Prices and Production Costs. The Company has not produced its sole
producing property long enough to establish average costs against its
approximate income of $3,100 during the fiscal year.
i) the average sales price (including transfers) per unit of oil produced and
of gas produced was $22,00;
ii) the average production cost (lifting cost) per unit of production is not
ascertainable.
Productive Oil and Gas Wells. The following table summarizes the productive oil
and gas wells as of June 30, 2000 attributable to the Company's direct
interests. Productive wells are producing wells and wells capable of production.
Productive Wells - Grace Bell Lease, Archer County, Texas
Oil 2
Gas 0
Oil and Gas Acreage - Proved Reserve Quantities. The following sets forth the
undeveloped and Proven Developed Oil Reserves leasehold held directly by the
Company as of June 30, 2000. Proved Developed Oil Reserves is acreage offsetting
acreage which is spaced or assignable to productive wells within a known
productive strata supported by geological and production analysis and /or study.
This undeveloped acreage is acreage on which wells have not been drilled or
completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities
of oil and gas.
a. Proven Developed Oil Reserves acreage 1120 acres
Yankee Unit, Tom Green County, Texas 2358 acres total
b. Proven Developed Oil Reserves acreage 4 acres
Grace Bell Lease, Archer County, Texas 8 acres total
Drilling Activity. The Company has not had drilling activity on its owned
properties.
Present Activity and Commitments. The Company is presently producing only the
Grace Bell Lease, and has no delivery or drilling commitments.
Locations. The Company has eight locations, including (i) its leased executive
offices located at 1026 West Main Street, #208, Lewisville, Texas 75067; (ii) a
five-acre tract of land located in Young County, Texas, on which a metal
building is situated; (iii) a leased building situated on three and one half
acres in the City of Olney, Texas; (iii) a leased yard location situated on five
and one half acres in Young County, Texas, known also as 505 Knox Street, Olney,
Texas; (v) for a portion of the year, a leased building situated on five acres
north of Ballinger, Texas, used by Simpco prior to its acquisition by the
Company; and two acres north of Ballinger, Texas, used as storage; (vi) a
leasehold facility under lease and purchase contract, including three buildings
<PAGE> 29
and a pipe threading and testing facility on leased railroad land in the City of
Nowata, Oklahoma; (vii) a leased office location of approximately fifteen
hundred (1,500) square feet, located upstairs in an industrial building at 2628
Ualena Street, Suite C, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819; and (viii) a leased office
location of approximately eight hundred (800) square feet, located downstairs
with retail front in an industrial building at 355 Hukilike Street, Suite 103,
Kahului, Maui, Hawaii 96732. The Ballinger and Olney facilities were used by PAR
Texas for its oil well plugging, remediation and salvage operations. The Nowata
facilities were used by PAR Oklahoma for its oil well plugging, remediation and
salvage operations. The Honolulu and Kahului, Maui, facilities are presently
used by CCTECH for its internet service provider and computer consulting
operations. The Company anticipates that these facilities will be adequate for
its foreseeable future needs.
The executive offices of the Company are comprised of approximately 300 square
feet of space in the DFW Metroplex located in Lewisville, Texas, approximately
ten miles north of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The space has
been rented from an affiliate of the Company on a month-to-month basis at the
rate of $250 per month since July 1, 1999.
The Company owns a tract of land containing five acres located within the Texas
Emigration and Land Company Survey No. 178, Abstract No. 425, in Young County,
Texas, immediately north of State Highway No. 79. A fenced-in, metal building,
comprised of approximately 1,600 square feet in sound structural and functional
condition, is situated on the property. The acreage and facility were purchased
by the Company from a non-affiliate on March 19, 1999, for a total purchase
price of $12,500. The property is subject to that certain Promissory Note
Secured by Deed of Trust dated March 19, 1999, in the principal amount of
$11,500, payable in installments of approximately $245 per month commencing on
May 1, 1999, and terminating on April 1, 2004. The note bears interest at the
rate of 10% per annum. In the opinion of management of the Company, the
facilities are adequately covered by insurance. P & A Remediation presently uses
the land and building for storing equipment.
For a portion of the year, the Company leased a yard comprised of approximately
five acres with an office building and pipe yard located thereon one to two
miles north of Ballinger, Texas, on U.S. Highway 83 (also known as 11816 U.S.
Highway North). The Company also leases a two acre location one mile north of
this location for storage. The Company uses both acreages and facilities for
remediation and salvage activities..
The Company leases a house and lots on approximately five and one-half acres
located at 505 Knox Street, Olney, Texas, which it uses as an oilfield salvage
yard. The yard was originally leased from a non-affiliate for a period of one
year through November 30, 1999, at an annual rent of $6,600 payable in monthly
installment of $550 each. The lease was renewable for a period of one year; at
the expiration of which year the Company has the option to purchase the
property. By continuing rental payments, the Company novated the agreement and
renewed the lease on the Olney yard for the additional one-year period provided.
Management believes that the terms for renewal are comparable to those available
for the lease of comparable facilities in the surrounding Olney area.
<PAGE> 30
On a short term lease, the Company leases an office building and shop facility
on approximately three and one-half acres located at 480 South Highway 79,
Olney, Texas, which it used as a base of operations from July 1999 up to January
2000, when the facility was closed pending the establishment of full scale
operations in the Company's Nowata, Oklahoma, yard. The yard is leased from a
non-affiliate for the consideration of general maintenance and improvement of
the leasehold estate and premises. The agreement is renewable for an
undetermined period of time. The Company has received a verbal agreement and
option to purchase the property, for $60,000 USD. The Company intends to renew
and maintain the lease on the Olney yard for the period provided. Management
believes that the terms for renewal are significantly below market to those
available for the lease of comparable facilities in the surrounding Olney area.
The Company is negotiating the purchase of the leasehold estate which includes
two buildings and a pipe threading and testing facility, located on leased
railroad land within the City of Nowata, Oklahoma. The former pipe dealer and
supply store located at 208 East Modoc, Nowata, Oklahoma 74048, will be acquired
by the Company under an asset purchase agreement for a total of $62,500. Closing
is pending.
The Company leases office space of approximately fifteen hundred (1,500) square
feet, located upstairs in an industrial building at 2628 Ualena Street, Suite C,
Honolulu, Hawaii 96819. The space is leased from a non-affiliate for a period of
five years from January 1997 through December 31, 2001, at an annual rent of
$15,600 payable in monthly installment of $1,300 each.
The lease does not have renewal provisions in the agreement, but the Lessor has
indicated its willingness to renew at market rates and terms. Management
believes that the terms of the lease and subsequent renewal are comparable to
those available for the lease of comparable facilities in the surrounding
Honolulu area.
The Company leases retail front office space of approximately eight hundred
(800) square feet, located downstairs with retail front in an industrial
building at 355 Hukilike, Suite 103, Kahului, Maui, Hawaii 96732. The space is
leased from a non-affiliate for a period of five years from May 1998 through
April 30, 2003, at a floating (based on CAM) annual rent of $12,000 payable in
monthly installment of $1,000 each. The lease does not have renewal provisions
in the agreement, but the Lessor has indicated its willingness to renew at
market rates and terms. Management believes that the terms of the lease and
subsequent renewal are comparable to those available for the lease of comparable
facilities in the surrounding Honolulu area.
The Company's current investment policy with respect to real estate is to
purchase in fee simple 100% of the interest in a particular real property that
is expected to be useful to the Company as a site on which to conduct business
operations. Accordingly, the Company's primary purpose for investing in real
estate is not the realization of capital gain or income, although it is possible
that such benefits may be realized. There are no limitations on the percentage
of assets which may be invested in any one investment, or type of investment,
and such policy may be changed without a vote of the Company's shareholders.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Company management does not know of any legal proceedings to which the Company
or its subsidiaries are parties or to which the property of any of such
companies is the subject which are pending, threatened or contemplated, or of
any unsatisfied judgments against the Company or its subsidiaries except as
described below.
PAR Texas with current trade accounts payable of $134,000, is involved in some
disputes on open accounts, five of which have resulted in suits on sworn account
being filed in three counties in the State of Texas. In each matter, PAR Texas
has responded to the action by the Movant with denial of their statements and
claims against the company and made other contacts to attempt a negotiated
resolution. Each of the matters is being negotiated for a settlement as of the
date hereof. The disputed account balances total less than $35,000 and
management does not believe the disputes are likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition. The Company has accrued what it
believes to be amounts sufficient to properly reflect its liabilities.
On January 28, 2000, in the 119th District Court of Runnels County, Texas,
Winters Oilfield Supply filed a suit on a sworn account under Cause No. 13,050
alleging non-payment of $5,405.85 requesting judgment for the plead amount,
pre-judgment interest, costs, and $1,000 in attorney's fees. On June 29, 2000,
The Court granted a default against the Company. A motion for new trial was
filed, and denied without hearing by the Court. Prior to such hearing, Plaintiff
Winters, acting through attorney Kenneth Slimp, agreed to accept payments on a
note that was executed under an agreement to not take judgment with Slimp. The
matter is still pending in the Court. On March 14, 2000, in the 70th District
Court of Ector County, Texas, Pesco, Inc., filed a suit on a sworn account under
Cause No. 108,790 alleging non-payment of $3,051.98 requesting judgment for the
plead amount, pre-judgment interest, costs, and $1,000 in attorney's fees. The
matter is pending in the Court. On April 26, 2000, in the County Court At Law
No. 1, of Taylor County, Texas, Hughes Diesel Service, Inc., filed a suit on a
sworn account under Cause No. 18719 alleging non-payment of $2,369.09 requesting
judgment for the plead amount, pre-judgment interest, costs, and $1,500 in
attorney's fees. The matter is pending in the Court. On May 26, 2000, in the
County Court At Law No. 1, of Taylor County, Texas, Angelo Properties, Inc.,
filed a suit on a sworn account under Cause No. 18739 alleging non-payment of

costs, and $1,500 in attorney's fees. The matter is pending in the Court. On
August 31, 2000, Bridon American Corp, d/b/a Stoehr Wire Rope of Texas, Inc.,
filed a suit on sworn account under Cause No. J00-081J3, in the Justice Court,
Precinct Three, Denton County, Texas, alleging non-payment of $1,428.00
requesting judgment for the plead amount, pre-judgment interest at 6% from May
19, 1999, costs, and $500 in attorneys fees. The Company has yet to answer the
matter, and it is pending in the Court. On August 18, 2000, Bowne of Dallas,
Inc., filed a suit on account under Cause No. J00-01714B, in the Justice Court,
Dallas County, Texas, alleging non-payment of $2,166.07 requesting judgment for
the plead amount, pre ad post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys fees. The
Company has yet to answer the matter, and it is pending in the Court.
In late August 2000, the Company filed suit in Denton County, Texas, to enforce
compliance with non-competition agreements with former employees and former
owners of Simpco. The matter is pending before the Court.
Other than the above, there are two known lawsuits as of the date of this report
that the Company is involved in. Both involve the former owners of Simpco, Inc.,
which the Company purchased in January 1999. In a suit filed in the federal
court in Oklahoma, the former owners allege that the Company and its officers
violated applicable securities laws in the acquisition of Simpco,
<PAGE> 32
Inc., and seek to return their 850,000 shares of the common stock of the Company
and the Company's $110,000 promissory note, in return for payment of $940,000 by
the Company, plus expenses, or damages of $940,000 plus expenses and punitive
damages. In a suit filed in the state court in the County of Nowata, Oklahoma,
the former owners and former employees of the Company allege non-payment of
wages and sub-contracted amounts of money due under an alleged agreement with
the Company. Management believes that both suits are without merit and intends
to defend both suits vigorously.
Management further believes that the worst case scenario in the federal matter
to be the return of the assets of the Simpco transaction for redemption of
Common Stock, as well as the cancellation of the $110,000 promissory note. This
would have the effect of reducing the Company's assets by approximately $960,000
with a corresponding reduction in equity and liabilities. No loss on the income
statement would be incurred in this scenario. Management believes that the worst
case scenario in the state court matter to be a loss of an undetermined portion
of the accounts receivable due from the state of Oklahoma.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10KSB.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current
expectations, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the
timing of certain events could differ materially from the forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including those referred to in
Factors Affecting Future Operating Results.
Overview. The Company was founded in January 1998. Since then, by business
combinations, we have established a presence in two diverse industries. In the
environmental remediation and cleanup (oil well and field hazardous sites)
industry, we entered by acquiring the assets and operations of a private
company, and subsequently created two operating subsidiaries to take advantage
of business and market opportunities. The retention as full-time employees of
key management of the private company was pivotal to the natural development of
the business' growth. The Company recently entered the internet and computer
consulting business with the acquisition of a growing internet service provider
(in Honolulu), which has a blended consumer dialup and business customer base.
With adequate equipment and working capital financing, we are poised to become a
significant provider of oilfield environmental remediation and cleanup services
in the states of Texas and Oklahoma. With proper planning and financial backing,
our internet presence can expand in hosting domain-based Web sites, and become a
significant provider of high speed connectivity and enhanced services in the
State of Hawaii. Expanding from this market focus (basic internet and high speed
service) applications, such as electronic commerce and virtual private networks
based on Internet communications links, could be brought to smaller population
centers, and to small and medium sized businesses on the mainland US and Pacific
Rim. As of June 30, 2000, on Oahu and Maui, the Company served approximately
2,500 customer accounts, including hosted Web sites and resellers.
From the time of our inception, the Company has raised limited amounts of
capital through the private placement and negotiation of short and intermediate
term promissory notes, relying
<PAGE> 34
heavily on the monetary backing of key management and control persons. Since its
organizational funding of $27,250, through private placements the Company has
sold $34,500 in common stock. The Company's three major acquisitions, and the
bulk of the Company's assets, have been acquired by the issuance of restricted
common stock. The remainder of its asset acquisition has been funded through
seller financing and cash expenditures. The Company has used income from
operations and loan proceeds from short term and stockholder notes to expand to
its position today. We expect to use the proceeds of sales of debt and equity
securities, through both public and private offerings, to further our strategic
acquisition and investment strategy, and to fund our operations in all
industries in which the Company operates.
Plan and Results of Operation The Company serves as a holding company for three
wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries, Yankee Development, Simpco, and Cyber
Cities Technologies, and two limited liability companies, PAR Texas and PAR
Oklahoma (hereafter collectively "P & A Remediation"). Yankee Development owns a
working interest in proven, developed oil reserves on 2,300 acres in Tom Green
County, Texas. Through P & A Remediation, the Company performs environmental
remediation and salvage operations for the oil industry, and markets and sells
construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and used oil field equipment
obtained from salvage operations or acquired for resale on the secondary market.
Simpco owns certain reconditioned oil field equipment and vehicles that are
leased to P & A Remediation for use in conducting oil field plugging,
remediation and salvage activities. Cyber Cities Technologies provides high
speed internet access for residential and business customers in Hawaii.
For the period from inception (January 21, 1998) through June 30, 2000, the
Company had approximately $ 836,000 in total revenues and $ 381,000 in gross
profit on sales, and net operating expenses aggregating $ 841,000. As a result,
the Company had a net loss in the amount of $(460,000), $.08 per share
attributable to common stockholders.
The Company proposes to increase its oil well plugging, remediation and salvage
business in its current regions of operation in Texas and Oklahoma, and expand
such operations to the States of Kansas and New Mexico. Since March 2000, the
Company's well plugging and pipe sales operations in Texas have been suspended.
Since June 2000, the Company's well plugging operations in Oklahoma have been
suspended. Both suspensions are a result of multiple factors, including
reorganization of equipment and employees; financing requirements; and pending
litigation. There can be no assurance as to when operations will resume.
Management does not foresee Yankee Development's conducting additional
development operations on its existing properties or exploring for oil and gas
elsewhere, until sufficient capital is raised to prove the production
capabilities of the field. The Company intends to pursue available opportunities
in the oil and gas business, including the acquisition of additional proven,
developed reserves, equipment and personnel, and to expand its business through
the acquisition of businesses related and unrelated to the oil and gas business.
If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations,
management intends to explore all available alternatives for debt and/or equity
financing, including but not limited to private and public securities offerings.
The Company proposes to create a world wide market distribution system for oil &
gas tubulars, equipment, and related products under synergies with its internet
subsidiary, utilizing the Company's presence on the World Wide Web and the
Internet on its domain `oilfieldjunk.com'. Significant steps are being made by
competitors in similar endeavors at the time of this writing.
<PAGE> 35
Because of understaffing in the oilfield equipment marketing department of the
Company, and its corresponding lack of training in this relatively new marketing
venue, the Company has decided to take the position to `wait and see' what the
competition develops.
The Company proposes to increase its core business of dial up internet service
in its current regions of operation on Oahu and Maui, and expand such operations
to the islands of Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. The Company plans to
develop a national presence to make web page hosting and computer consulting
available to customers world wide in the coming months and years.
Comparability of Year-to-Year Results of Operations The table below reflect the
operations of the most recent two fiscal years. Due to the short period of
Company existence, the comparable periods of financial and operating activity
may not accurately reflect the potential operations of the Company. The prior
fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 consisted of only about four months of
revenue-producing activities, preceded by an additional three months of start up
activities.

============ ============
</TABLE>
Revenue. The Company's revenues are limited, as of the date hereof, to those
generated by CCTECH in its business of internet service provider in Honolulu,
Hawaii; and from P & A Remediation from oil well plugging, remediation and
salvage operations in the states of Texas and Oklahoma. Limited revenues have
been realized from oil or gas production from company acquired producing oil &
gas leases.
Most of the internet service provider revenue is received from customers who
purchase basic internet service, hosting products, high-speed Internet
connectivity, and other enhanced value Internet services. The Company hopes to
offer a broad range of connectivity options to its customers including
dedicated, digital subscriber lines, integrated services digital network, frame
relay and dial-up connections. Connectivity customers typically sign a contract
for one year of service and pay fixed, recurring monthly service charges plus a
one-time setup fee under those agreements. These charges vary depending on the
type of service, the length of the contract and local market conditions. Web
hosting customers typically pay fixed, recurring monthly service charges plus a
one-time setup fee. These charges vary depending on the amount of disk space and
transit required by the customer.
Other potential enhanced services include (but are not limited to) e-commerce;
virtual private
<PAGE> 36
networks permitting our customers to engage in private and secure Internet
communication with their employees, vendors, customers and suppliers; security
services; co-location services, which include leased space, connectivity and
support services in specialized facilities for customers that wish to place
their own equipment and software in our secure, controlled facilities;
consulting; and, the sales of equipment and customer circuits.
Revenue for all products is recognized as the service is provided. Amounts
billed relating to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized
monthly as services are rendered.
Revenue is generated from two types of contractual arrangements, cash and
salvage, in connection with its oil well plugging and remediation operations.
Under the salvage type of contract, the Company receives as its compensation
pipe and/or used oil well equipment mutually agreed upon by the parties. Revenue
is recognized, and the pipe and/or equipment are included in inventory, based
upon the applicable wholesale market prices of the items or the prices at which
the items are purchasable for resale on the open market. These inventory items,
whether received by P & A Remediation as consideration for the performance of
plugging and/or remediation services or purchased outright for purposes of
resale, are resold to customers including, primarily, oil and construction
companies.
The direct gross profit on the industry jobs performed by PAR Texas is generally
approximately 35%. Management believes that the gross profit margin on the same
job, if performed for a government agency, could increase to 55%. If PAR Texas
is able to obtain contracts from state agencies, the Company expects that
payment would typically be received thirty days from the date of completion of
the well(s) and all contract requirements, thus requiring that the Company have
additional working capital to cover expenses before payment is received. P & A
Remediation is generally required to pay suppliers and subcontractors for pipe,
equipment and other supplies and threading, refurbishing and other services on a
cash on demand, or "COD", basis. Accordingly, should P & A Remediation be
successful in expanding its customer base to include government agencies, of
which there is no assurance, its working capital may not be adequate to enable
the company to continue in operation without the receipt of additional funding.
The Company's plan (in Texas) calls for the primary government customer targeted
by the Company to be the State of Texas' Oil Well Plugging and Cleanup Fund (the
"Cleanup Fund"), because of the continuously increasing number of oil wells
being added to the State of Texas' inventory of wells requiring state-funded
remediation. Company management believes that the abandoned and inactive wells
that are candidates for state-funded plugging number in the tens of thousands as
of the date hereof. This calculation is based upon management's belief that
there are, on average, ten oil or gas wells, known as "stripper wells,"
producing, on average, less than ten barrels of oil per day, per each of 12,500
operators registered with the Railroad Commission listed in the Commission's
inventory of wells requiring state-funded remediation. Further, wells are added
continuously at the rate of 250 per month in an order of priority based on the
perceived risk to human health and the environment. The Dallas Morning News
stated that there are "as many as 17,000 wells abandoned across the state
today..." on June 6, 2000.
In addition to oil well plugging and clean-up operations, PAR Texas serves as a
reseller of construction equipment, steel pipe and tubulars and select used and
reconditioned oil field equipment. These items are either obtained from the
company's salvage operations or purchased outright for resale on the secondary
market. The company is currently planning to resume
<PAGE> 37
remediation work on a Conoco, Inc., 58-mile salvage project that involves the
recovery of at least 150,000 feet of three and one-half to six inch structural
pipe which the Company intends to resell for construction and other
applications.
Cost of Sales and Services. Cost of internet service consists primarily of local
telecommunications expense. Local telecommunications expense is primarily the
cost of transporting data between a customer's place of business, and the
Company's local points of presence as gateway to the internet. Customer's cost
of service also includes internet access expense and the cost of equipment sold
to customers.
Cost of oilfield remediation services consist principally of direct labor;
contracted services; and in-hole material (cement, drilling gel, and water) and
equipment supplies.
Cost of sales consists of the purchased cost or earned cost of oilfield pipe and
equipment that has been sold.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries, rent and utilities. Such expenses also include the
expenses of general management, technical labor, customer care and accounting.
General and administrative expenses are expected to continue to increase in
absolute dollars, but decrease as a percentage of total revenue as revenue
growth continue can outpace general expenses.
Both the internet operations and the oilfield remediation operation have the
opportunity to acquire scalable systems that can limit the number of additional
personnel and the need for additional office space to support incremental
revenue. The company expects these systems will result in the ability to add
significant additional revenue at low incremental costs. Although we expect to
continue to reduce our operating losses as a percentage of revenue, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to do so, or that the rate of any reduction in
losses will be as rapid as we expect.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation is provided over the estimated
useful lives of assets ranging from three to fifteen years using the
straight-line method. The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired, or goodwill, is amortized using the straight-line method over a
ten-year period. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the debt.
Additional acquisitions and investments are expected to cause depreciation and
goodwill amortization to increase significantly in the future.
Other expenses. Other expenses consist primarily of interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our business strategy has required, and is
expected to continue to require, substantial capital to fund acquisitions,
working capital, capital expenditures, and interest expense.
As of June 30,2000, the Company had approximately $22,300 in cash and cash
equivalents and $108,000 in current receivables.
The Company also has significant debt service requirements. At June 30, 2000,
our secured
<PAGE> 38
liabilities were $623,000 and the expected annual interest expense associated
with it is approximately $70,000. The interest expense and principal repayment
obligations associated with our debt could have a significant effect on our
future operations.
Our anticipated expenditures are inherently uncertain and will vary widely based
on many factors including operating performance and working capital
requirements, the cost of additional acquisitions and investments, the
requirements for capital equipment to operate our business and our ability to
raise additional funds. Accordingly, we may need significant amounts of cash in
excess of our plan, and no assurance can be given as to the actual amounts of
our future expenditures. We will have to increase revenue without a commensurate
increase in costs to generate sufficient cash to enable us to meet our debt
service obligations. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient
financial resources if operating losses increase or additional acquisition or
other investment opportunities become available.
We expect to meet our capital needs for the next 3 months with cash on hand and
operating cash flow, and beyond 3 months, with the proceeds from the sale or
issuance of capital stock, lease financing and additional debt. We regularly
examine financing alternatives based on prevailing market conditions and expect
to access the capital markets from time to time based on our current and
anticipated cash needs and market opportunities. Over the longer term, we will
be dependent on obtaining positive operating cash flow and, to the extent cash
flow is not sufficient, the availability of additional financing, to meet our
debt service obligations. Insufficient funding may require us to delay or
abandon some of our planned future expansion or expenditures, which could have a
material adverse effect on our growth and ability to realize economies of scale.
Forward-Looking Statements. The statements included in the discussion and
analysis above that are not historical or factual are "forward-looking
statements" (as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995). The safe harbor provisions provided in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, apply to forward-looking statements made by the
Company. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," or
"anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties.
Management cautions the reader that these forward-looking statements addressing
the timing, costs and scope of our acquisition of, or investments in, existing
affiliates, the revenue and profitability levels of the affiliates in which we
invest, the anticipated reduction in operating costs resulting from the
integration and optimization of those affiliates, and other matters contained
herein or therein from time to time regarding matters that are not historical
facts, are only predictions. No assurance can be given that future results
indicated, whether expressed or implied, will be achieved. While sometimes
presented with numerical specificity, these projections and other
forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and a variety of
assumptions relating to our business, which, although we consider them
reasonable, may not be realized. Because of the number and range of the
assumptions underlying our projections and forward-looking statements, many of
which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are beyond
our reasonable control, some of the assumptions will not materialize and
unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this
report. Therefore, our actual experience and results achieved during the period
covered by any particular projections or forward-looking statements may differ
substantially from those projected.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Basic

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Basic Technologies, Inc. as of

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities and Basis of Accounting
The Company, a Corporation, is engaged in the diversified operations of
environmental remediation and recovery of oil and gas properties in Texas
and Oklahoma, and development of oil and gas ventures and related
interests, and as an internet service provider and e-business consultant in
Hawaii, with its corporate headquarters located in Lewisville, Texas. The
Company incorporated in the state of Colorado on January 21, 1998 and its
fiscal year end is June 30.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Consolidation
The Company was formed as a parent holding company to operate through
subsidiaries. The financial statements consolidate the activities of the
parent along with:
Yankee Development Corp., a Texas corporation
P & A Remediation, LLC, a Texas limited liability company
Simpco, Inc., a Texas corporation
P& A Remediation, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company
Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc., an Hawaii corporation
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
short term securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. There are no restrictions on any balances.
Accounts Receivable
Bad Debt expense has been recognized by use of the allowance method. Bad
Debt expense for the year ended is $3,967. There are no significant
concentrations of credit risk.
<PAGE> 59
Inventories
Inventories are shown at cost, using the first-in, first-out method. In
addition to direct purchases, inventory is acquired through the performance
of services (See note about revenues).
Pipe inventory, in the form of a 35-mile long abandoned oil gathering
pipeline, was acquired for the issuance of a $35,000 promissory note. The
Company plans to dig up the pipeline and prepare it for sale.
Fixed Assets
These assets are carried at acquisition cost. Depreciation is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the
assets, which range from 20 years for buildings to 3 to 15 years for all
other assets.
The Company rebuilt and upgraded certain newly acquired used operating
equipment prior to placing the equipment in the field. All costs, including
related payroll costs, were capitalized.
Intangibles
Amortization of Organization Costs is calculated over 60 months. Goodwill,
created from the purchase of Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. is being
amortized over 20 years.
Income Taxes
Income from the corporation is taxed at regular corporate rates per the
Internal Revenue Code.
Deferred Tax Liability
The Company purchased Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. and accounted for the
transaction using the "purchase" method of accounting. This requires the
acquisition to be accounted for at the fair value of the assets received or
given up, whichever is more readily available. Further, this transaction
caused a Deferred Tax Liability to be booked, due to the difference between
the book basis and tax basis of the assets received. The offset to this
entry increased Goodwill.
Common Stock
The Company's common stock is stated at par value ($.00001) and the paid in
capital represents the difference between the fair value of the assets
received and the common stock at par value. There are no commitments or
provisions for
<PAGE> 60
stock options, stock compensation, conversion rights, redemption
requirements or unusual voting rights.
Revenues
Services
Services for oil well plugging are provided using two types of contracts:
cash and salvage. Under the salvage type, the Company receives as its
compensation specified types of used oil well equipment or pipe. Revenue is
recognized and the items taken into inventory based upon the relevant
wholesale market prices, or the prices at which the Company could buy the
items for resale on the open market.
Sales
Inventory, whether acquired by purchase or through services, is resold to
oil and construction customers.
Approximately $3,100 in revenues has been earned from oil and gas
production during the fiscal year.
With the acquisition of Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc., the Company sells
services as an Internet service provider in Hawaii.
Interest
Interest expensed for the period is $ 40,447. No interest has been
capitalized.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
On April 23, 1998, the Company issued 5,305,625 restricted common shares in
exchange for 100% of Yankee Development Corporation. Upon consummation of the
transaction, the former owners of Yankee Development Corporation controlled
approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Basic Technologies,
Inc. and Yankee Development Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Basic Technologies, Inc.
The transaction was consummated as a purchase of assets, rather than a pooling
of interests. The valuation assigned to the purchase of Yankee Development
Corporation is
<PAGE> 61
based on the underlying net assets, which consist of working interests in proven
oil and gas reserves discounted to net present value of net revenues less
development and operating costs. The discount applied was 10%. The oil and gas
reserves are the only substantial assets in the subsidiary company.
Cost of Acquiring Yankee Development Shares $3,711,000
The valuation of the oil and gas reserves is based on the market price of oil.
At the time of the valuation, the price used was $15/bbl. The price of oil at
the balance sheet date was $28.00 per barrel, and the current price of oil is
$33.00; however, the reserves are not to be revalued in excess of their original
valuation.
In October 1998, the Company formed a Limited Liability Company (P & A
Remediation, LLC) with Simpco, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) with the
intention of developing environmental remediation in oil and gas fields. The
Company owns 99% of the stock of P & A Remediation, LLC, and Simpco, Inc. owns
1%.
In January, 1999, the Company issued 850,000 shares of its authorized but
previously unissued shares of voting common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding common stock of Simpco, Inc., a Texas corporation. There is a
contingency clause in the acquisition agreement, which provides for the issuance
of additional shares of stock should the value of the Simpco, Inc. assets exceed
a certain level within eighteen months of the acquisition. That corporation, now
a wholly owned subsidiary, is intended to be the owner and lessor of the
consolidated entities' operating equipment. A promissory note for $110,000.00
was also issued to the shareholders of Simpco, Inc. as part of the acquisition
cost. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method.
On November 24, 1999, P&A Remediation LLC, an Oklahoma Limited Liability
Company, was formed for the purpose of beginning remediation and sales
operations in Oklahoma.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company issued 979,232 shares of its authorized
but unissued shares of voting common stock in exchange for all of the assets and
operations, subject to certain liabilities, of Cyber City Honolulu, Inc., a
Hawaii corporation. Included in the exchange was the acquisition of all
intangibles including all trade names, customer lists, goodwill and other
intangibles. The assets and liabilities were then transferred into a newly
formed, wholly owned Hawaii corporation, Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. The
acquisition was accounted for using the "purchase" method of accounting. The
predecessor and successor companies are a regional Internet service provider and
Internet web page hosting service. The Company recognized goodwill in the amount
of $681,848. A related deferred tax liability of $223,069 was recognized, which
also increased goodwill.
The Company has provided the following unaudited pro forma combined statement of
income. It combines the acquired company's results of operations for the period
July 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, with the full year's operations of the
Company. This information is presented for illustration purposes only.

There are no contingent rentals, subleases or related party leases of equipment.
Total equipment rental expense for the year was $24,731.
NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There are two known lawsuits as of the date of this report that the Company is
involved. Both involve the former owners of Simpco, Inc., which the Company
purchased in January, 1999. The former owners allege that the Company and its
officers violated applicable securities laws in the acquisition of Simpco, Inc.,
and seek to return their 850,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company and
the Company's $110,000 promissory note in return for payment of $940,000 by the
Company, plus expenses, or damages of $940,000 plus expenses and punitive
damages. Management believes that both suits are without merit and intends to
defend both suits vigorously.
Management further believes the worst case scenario to be the return of the
assets of the Simpco transaction for redemption of the Common Stock. This would
have the effect of reducing the Company's assets by approximately $850,000 with
a corresponding reduction in equity. No loss on the income statement would be
incurred in this scenario.
NOTE 6 - PROVEN DEVELOPED OIL RESERVES
The Company owns, through a subsidiary, proven developed oil reserves on 2300
acres in west Texas. Valuation at the time of acquisition was based upon the
discounted net
<PAGE> 64
present value of net revenues, after development and operating costs. The
applied discount rate was 10%, and the oil price used was $15.00 per barrel. The
price of oil at the statement date was $28.00 per barrel, and the current price
of oil is $33.00 per barrel, but the reserves are not to be revalued.
Recoverable oil reserves are estimated to be 880,000 barrels. See also Note 2
above.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
Starting in 1998, the Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109), which requires
the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the
current and deferred income taxes payable. Under SFAS No. 109, income tax
expense consists of taxes payable for the year and the changes during the year
in deferred assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the
tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases and
financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
As there is a net operating loss in the current fiscal year, the Company has
calculated a deferred tax benefit as follows:

Technologies, Inc.

NOTE 8 - SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, and uses the Management approach to
determine and disclose reportable segment information.
The Company's four reportable business segments are based upon distinctive types
of activities or services: environmental remediation; equipment leasing; oil and
gas production; and Internet and e-business services. A full description of
these segments is included in Note 1. All segments operate within the United
States. The equipment leasing segment provides service only to the environmental
segment.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant policies. Inter-segment services are recorded using
internal transfer prices set by the Company.
