ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
Board of Directors
GOLD & GREEN, INC.
Salt Lake City, UT
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Gold
& Green, Inc. [a development stage company] as of May 31, 2000
and the related condensed statements of operations for the three
and six months then ended and for the period from inception on
June 4, 1995 through May 31, 2000, and the statements of cash flows
for the six months ended May 31, 2000 and for the period from
inception on June 4, 1995 through May 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the condensed financial
statements reviewed by us, in order for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Gold & Green, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, Gold & Green,
Inc. has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet been
successful in establishing profitable operations, raising
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also
described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Gold & Green, Inc. (the Company) was organized
under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 4, 1995. It
intends to develop and pursue patent protection for novelty items
for the automotive industry. The Company also intends to
manufacture and market its inventions.
Condensed Financial Statements - The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
May 31, 2000 and for all the periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's November 30, 1999 audited financial
statements. The results of operations for the periods ended May
31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for the full year.
Organization Costs - The Company has expensed its organization
costs, which reflect amounts expended to organize the Company, in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Position 98-5.
Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". [See Note 6]
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the financial
statements, the Company considers all highly liquid debt
investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimated.
NOTE 2 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company was formed with a very specific business plan.
However, the possibility exists that the Company could expend
virtually all of its working capital in a relatively short time
period and may not be successful in establishing on-going
profitable operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 - CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - In October 1998, the Company issued 30,000 shares
of its previously authorized, but unissued common stock.
Proceeds from the sale of stock amounted to $22,094 (or $1 per
share), net of stock offering costs of $7,906.
On June 21, 1995, in connection with its organization, the
Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its previously authorized, but
unissued common stock. Total proceeds from the sale of stock
amounted to $1,000 (or $.001 per share).
On November 12, 1999, the Company's board of directors approved a
10 for 1 forward stock-split for shareholders of record on
November 12, 1999.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Contribution Capital - A shareholder of the Company forgave the
Company of their $1,513 debt by recording a capital contribution.
Professional Services - The principal shareholders are officers
of the Company who also provide professional and managerial
services to the Company.
Rent - The Company maintains, rent free, a mailing address at the
office of one of its officers.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to provide
a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future
tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between
book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss
or tax credit carryforwards. At May 31, 2000, the Company has
available unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$24,600, which may be applied against future taxable income and
which expire in 2019 through 2000.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the
operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is
dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future
earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of
which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty
surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards the Company
has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of
the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has
been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax
asset is approximately $8,300 as of May 31, 2000, with an
offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount resulting in a
change in the valuation allowance of approximately $500 for the
six months ended May 31, 2000.

During 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-5 and

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
However, the Company has incurred losses since its inception, and
has not yet been successful in establishing profitable
operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this
regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional
funds not provided by operations through loans and/or through
additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that
the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital
or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of these uncertainties.

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During July 2000, A shareholder of the Company contributed $650
for the payment of accounts payable of $650.
On July 31, 2000, the Company's president, director and majority
shareholder as well as the Company's secretary, director and
shareholder executed an agreement with Roger Piacentini to
transfer 5,975,000 shares or 58% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company owned by the president and the
secretary. The terms of the agreement required the present
officers and directors to resign and appoint Mr. Piacentini as
Sole officer and director.
During August 2000, pursuant to a meeting of the new board of
directors, Dr. John O'Brien accepted appointment as Vice
President and Director and was issued 10,100,000 shares of the
Company's common stock in lieu of cash compensation, resulting in
Dr. O'Brien's ownership of 49% of the issued and outstanding of
the Company and reducing Piacentini's ownership to 29%.
Additionally, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Royal
Energy Corporation ("Royal") and appointed Dr. O'Brein as Royal's
sole officer and director. Additionally, the Board approved the
employment of Kathleen Casale as Royal's Director of Marketing
and Thomas Gordon as Royal's Director of Sales. The business of
Royal will be to implement and operate a business to business
energy concern that brokers and markets electricity, natural gas
and other energy products and services. Current Management has
spent extensive time researching and developing this plan, which
Management feels is now ready to market.
On August 7, 2000 the shareholders amended the article of
incorporation increasing the authorized common shares, par value
$.001, from 25,000,000 to 100,000,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation.
Gold & Green, Inc. (herein, the "Issuer", the "Registrant"
or the "Company") conducted an offering of its securities
pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 504 during October 1998. The
Issuer's initial business plan involved the development,
manufacture and marketing of novelty devices pertaining to the
automotive industry. The first product was a novelty decorative
seat belt cover, which was advertised for sale in nine local
Brooklyn newspapers; no sales resulted from these advertisements.
As a result, the Management determined that the Company should
become a "public shell". However, subsequently, the Board met
again and re-examined its options and decided that increased
advertising, as well as execution of a contract with a
photographic agency for silk-screening of photos, might bring the
Company some revenues. In April 2000, advertisements were placed
in thirteen local Brooklyn newspapers, and the advertisement also
appeared on the Website of The Times Ledger. The results of these
advertisements proved unsuccessful. The Board met again and re-
examined its options and decided that and the Company must pursue
a merger or acquisition with another on going business; In July
2000, two (2) of the majority shareholders sold there controlling
interest in the Company and resigned as Officers and Directors of
the Company. At this point the newly appointed Officers and
Directors commenced development of the Company's new Business
Plan. Pursuant to a meeting of the new Board of Directors, the
Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Energy
Corporation ("ROYAL"). Whereas the initial business of ROYAL will
be to develop and operate a business-to-business energy concern
that brokers and markets electricity, natural gas and other
energy products and services.
12
<PAGE>
Plan Of Operation
Royal Energy Corp. ("Royal") has assembled an experienced
management team that has demonstrated the ability to acquire and
serve customers cost effectively. The Company's core target
markets, commercial and industrial business customers are high
value customers because sales margins are typically substantial
and customer loyalty is typically high. The Company's management
has developed and refined the processes and procedures to acquire
the targeted customers at a very rapid rate. Adding staff and
additional geographic markets can increase the projected rate of
customer acquisition. The Company's growth plan involves
leveraging current management, organization and infrastructure
assets to build a large customer base of commercial and
industrial electricity and natural gas customers in markets that
are currently opening to competition. In addition to the
customer base providing substantial sales margins, the
opportunity exists to cross-sell additional products in the
future at very low cost.
Sales of electricity and natural gas to ultimate consumers
in the United States exceeded $300 billion in 1998, which makes
these markets among the largest physical commodity markets in the
U.S. The gas and electric industries are currently in the
process of substantial deregulation, which is beginning to allow
retail customers to purchase their electricity and natural gas
from competitive vendors such as Royal. Historically, the energy
industry was dominated by federal and state chartered vertically
integrated entities that were granted geographic monopolies.
States have reacted to the need for competition by enacting laws
and regulations that free natural gas and electric consumers to
choose a competitive supplier. Electric and gas utilities are
becoming delivery conduits for supplies of energy that are not
price regulated. As a result of the ongoing deregulation of the
natural gas and electric markets by state and federal
authorities, many energy users are now in a position to seek to
purchase, at a savings, their electricity and natural gas from
competitive suppliers rather than the incumbent monopoly.
The electric industry is comprised of three distinct
segments--generation, transmission and distribution. All three
segments have traditionally been owned and operated by vertically
integrated, investor-owned or municipal utilities that delivered
monopoly service within their franchised service area. Through
deregulation, the generation segment of the market is being
subject to competition while the transmission and distribution
segments will continue to be price-regulated.
13
<PAGE>
A growing number of electric and gas utilities, including the
Company's target markets, are now offering delivery services for
electricity that is purchased from competitive suppliers. In
most jurisdictions, utilities are actually being required to
divest their generation plants so that generators, independent
from the regulated electric company, will sell directly to retail
customers with the utility simply delivering the power that
customers purchase. Royal purchases or brokers electricity
from generators and resells it to retail customers.
In the natural gas industry, most gas utilities have
delivery services available for commercial and industrial
business customers under which the gas utility delivers gas
purchased from competitive suppliers. Most competitors in the
marketplace have concentrated on obtaining very large industrial
customers and the small to medium commercial and industrial
customer market has been largely ignored. Only recently has this
market segment been targeted, but only four or five firms appear
to be targeting this segment in the Company's target markets. In
the target markets that Royal intends to pursue during the next
twelve months, there are over 1,000,000 commercial business
customers of which less than 10% have chosen competitive
suppliers.
In the markets where the Company currently markets and where
it intends to expand,(1) there are over 1,000,000 commercial and
industrial business customers. The vast majority of these
customers will have to choose a competitive supplier within the
next year. It is estimated that only about 10% of these
customers have thus far chosen a competitive electricity and
natural gas supplier. In addition, other areas are opening to
competition in the electric and gas markets in the next two
years. Royal will closely monitor additional markets that can be
cost effectively and successfully entered.
Royal's goal is to obtain 25,000 to 50,000 commercial and
industrial business customers by December 2001 in these target
markets. The trend is for traditional utilities to leave the
business of supplying commodity services and reduce the scope of
the services offered to energy delivery services only, thus
providing large growth opportunities to Royal.
_____________________________
(1) The Company's current target markets are the natural gas and
electric service areas of Consolidated Edison of New York ("Con
Ed"), Orange & Rockland Utilities ("ORU"), Brooklyn Union Gas
Company ("BUG"), United Illuminating ("UI"), Philadelphia
Electric Company ("PECO") and Public Service Electric & Gas
("PSE&G").

date hereof:
Name Age Position
Dr.John N. O'Brien 48 President and CEO
Kathy Casale 45 Director of Marketing
Thomas Gordon 48 Director of Sales
DR. JOHN N. O'BRIEN is President, Chief Executive Officer and
Director of Royal Energy Corp. Dr. O'Brien has over twenty years
of experience in the energy regulatory and business fields. His
expertise began in the regulation of nuclear facilities then
moving into the regulation of natural gas during the deregulation
of that industry and finally into the electric power industry as
it restructures. Dr. O'Brien started his career in 1976 as a
scientist in Brookhaven National Laboratory's Department of
Nuclear Energy where he worked principally on how to best
regulate the organization and management of nuclear facilities.
While at Brookhaven he was among the youngest individuals in the
Brookhaven's history to achieve the rank of Full Scientist and he
provided numerous research reports to the Department of Energy,
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Office of Technology
Assessment, the Congressional Research Service and the U.S.
Military, among others. He also provided testimony and background
in many regulatory proceedings having to do with energy
regulation and authored over 40 published articles, reports and a
book on energy matters.
In 1985 Dr. O'Brien left Brookhaven and founded Direct Gas
Supply Corporation, which under his supervision grew to a $51
million Company in five years. Direct Gas was the first
participant in New York State in the deregulation of the natural
gas industry and moved the first non-utility gas to consumers in
the State under the new regulations. While at Direct Gas, Dr.
O'Brien participated in many proceedings before the New York
Public Service Commission ("PSC") and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission and was also responsible for starting the
17
<PAGE>
first new utility in New York State in over forty years. Dr.
O'Brien sold his Company to British Petroleum and left in 1992.
In 1993, Wheeled Electric Power Company retained Dr. O'Brien in
order to participate in the ongoing deregulation of the electric
power market. Wheeled Electric was able to acquire over 22,000
gas and electric customers during his tenure. In 1999, he was
retained by Full Power Corp. to run their All Power Corp.
subsidiary to participate in the ongoing natural gas and
electricity deregulation market in the Northeast United States.
