ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On August 18, 2000, Newlands Oil & Gas Inc. (the "Registrant")
announced that it would not be exercising its option to proceed
with the Travis oil and gas property located in Solano County,
California. Please refer to Exhibit "A" which is the press
release in which the Registrant made this announcement.
Also, please refer to the "Exploration Conveyance and Assignment
Agreement" between Brothers Oil & Gas Inc. and the Registrant,
previously reported in the Registrant's Form 10-SB. Such
information is incorporated by reference herein.
The Registrant paid for its share of drilling costs for the first
well, which resulted in a dry hole and elected not to exercise its
option to participate in further drilling. The option was non-
