Item 1.        Description of Business.

         (a)  Forward-looking  Statements.  Certain statements in this Form 10SB
Registration  Statement,  particularly under Items 1 and 2, constitute "forward-
looking statements" with the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. These  forward-looking  statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or  achievements  of the  Company  to be  materially  different  from any future
results,   performance   or   achievements,   expressed   or   implied   by  the
forward-looking  statements.  All statements other than statements of historical
fact, including,  among other things,  statements regarding our future financial
position,   business  strategy,   reserve   information,   projected  levels  of
production,  projected  costs and plans and  objectives of management for future
operations, are forward-looking statements.

         We  typically  use words such as  "expect",  "anticipate",  "estimate",
"strategy",  "intend",  "plan",  and "believe" or the negative of those terms or
other  variations of them or by comparable  terminology to identify our forward-
looking statements. In particular,  statements,  express or implied,  concerning
future  operations,  operating results or the ability to generate income or cash
flows are forward-looking statements.

         Although  we believe  our  expectations  reflected  in  forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable  assumptions,  no assurance can be given that
these  expectations will be achieved.  Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ  materially  from the  expectations  reflected in the forward-
looking statements include, among others:

         -timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for crude oil,
         natural and related products and interest rates;

         -extent of our success in discovering, developing, marketing and
         producing reserves and in acquiring oil and gas products;

         -political developments around the world;

         -financial market conditions.

         In  light of the  risks,  uncertainties  and  assumptions,  the  events
anticipated by our  forward-looking  statements might not occur. We undertake no
obligation  to update or revise  our  forward-looking  statements,  whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.

         (b) Business. Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation (the "Company"), formerly
known as C2 Technologies,  Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on February 25, 1997. C2 Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Tidelands
Oil & Gas  Corporation  on November  19,  1998.  The  Company has two  operating
subsidiaries named Tidelands Oil Corporation (TOC) and Tidelands Gas Corporation
(TGC), both Texas corporations.

Tidelands  Oil  Corporation  was formed in May 1985.  Since  inception and until
recently,  Tidelands Oil Corporation has devoted virtually all of its efforts to
acquiring control of leases which comprise the remaining portion of the Sacatosa
Field in Maverick  County,  Texas.  This acreage is located on the Ewing Halsell
Foundation  Ranch  also  known as the  Farias  Ranch.  These oil and gas  leases
directly offset Continental Oil Company (CONOCO) which has leases on the Chittam
Ranch.  The CONOCO leases have  produced in excess of 40,000,000  barrels of oil
and 20 BCF of gas.  Tideland's  leases have  approximately 156 oil and gas wells
scattered  across the leases with  largest  concentration  being on the northern
portion of



<PAGE>


the acreage offsetting CONOCO.  Tidelands has began a reworking program to place
all of the  wells  back into  production.

Tidelands  Gas  Corporation  was  formed  on  August  29,  1996.  Tidelands  Gas
Corporation was formed primarily for the purpose of acquiring the Delhi Pipeline
System for use as a gas  transportation  outlet  for the  shallow  gas  reserves
underlying Tideland's leases.  Engineering reports estimate that one zone, above
1500' in depth, which the leases contain in excess of 17 BCF of recoverable gas.
Tidelands has drilled numerous gas wells on the leased acreage.

Tidelands Gas Corporation  organized two Texas Limited Liability companies,  Rio
Bravo Energy, LLC and Sonora Pipeline, LLC. Tidelands owns fifty percent of each
LLC.  The  remaining  fifty  percent is owned by Hudson  SVD,  LLC.  Sonora will
finance the testing and operational  integrity of the Tidelands gas pipeline and
make is operational. Rio Bravo Energy, LLC. purchased the Chittim gas processing
plant from Conoco, Inc.

Sonora will operate the gas pipeline  transporting gas to the gas plant.  Sonora
will transport gas produced from  Tideland's  property as well as from other gas
suppliers. Rio Bravo will operate the gas plant. It will process the natural gas
into gas products such as natural gasoline, propane, butane. Rio Bravo will also
market the gas products.

Sonoro Pipeline and Rio Bravo will transport and process gas for suppliers such
as Tidelands, Merit Energy, Cononco, Cuantro Petroluem, Inc., Prime Operating,
Inc., The Exploration Company,.  The maximum operating capacity of gas plant is
10 million cubic feet of gas per day. The Sonoro pipeline capacity is higher.

Rio Bravo intends to ship all propane and butane  products to Mexico and to sell
natural gasolines to Enron Oil Trading and Transportation Company.

The  Texas  Railroad  Commission   regulates  all  aspects  of  the  production,
transportation and processing of petroleum products.

COMPETITION

Tidelands    will    actively    compete    for   reserve    acquisitions    and
exploration/exploitation  leases,  licenses, gas suppliers and petroleum product
purchasers.  This competition will be against  companies with greater  financial
and other resources.  Competitive factors will include price, contract terms and
quality  of  service,  including  pipeline  connection  times  and  distribution
efficiencies  and financial  resources.  The Company will face  competition from
other producers and suppliers,  including competition from other local and world
wide energy suppliers.

EMPLOYEES

The Company has seven  employees,  including  the  Company  officers,  two plant
operators and three field personnel.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

securities transaction exemption was Section 4(2).

         On February 15, 1999,  the Company  issued  88,570  common  shares to a
creditor as payment for an outstanding debt. The debt was $61,390. In connection
with this transaction,  the Company issued 40,000 common stock purchase warrants
exercisable  at $2.50 per share.  The warrants  expire on February 5, 2001.  The

Item 5.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Article Twelve of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that
the Company's directors and officers will not have any personal liability to the
Company  or its  stockholders  for  damages  for breach of  fiduciary  duties as
directors or officers.  This provision does not alleviate or limit any liability
of an  officer or  director  for acts or  omissions  which  involve  intentional
misconduct,  fraud or a knowing violation of the law or the payment of dividends
in violation of the Nevada Revised  Statutes.  This article does not provide for
the  Company  to   indemnify   the   officers  or   directors,   however,   such
indemnification may be implied.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended,  may  be  permitted  for  directors,  officers  and
controlling  persons  of the  Company,  in the  opinion  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy and is
therefore, unenforceable.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation
Corpus Christi, Texas

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet of Tidelands Oil &
Gas Corporation  (formerly C2  Technologies,  Inc.) as of December 31, 1998, and
the related statements of consolidated  stockholders'  equity,  operations,  and
cash flows for the year ended  December 31, 1998 and period from  February  1997
(inception) to December 31, 1997. These  consolidated  financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and the results of their
consolidated  operations  and their  consolidated  cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and period from February 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             This  summary of  significant  accounting  policies is presented to
             assist in understanding  these consolidated  financial  statements.
             The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations
             of  management   who  is  responsible   for  their   integrity  and
             objectivity.  The  accounting  policies  used  conform to generally
             accepted accounting  principles and have been consistently  applied
             in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

             Organization

             Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation  (formerly C2  Technologies,  Inc.)
             (the Company) was  incorporated  in the state of Nevada on February
             25,  1997.  On October  21, 1998 the  Company  acquired  all of the
             issued and  outstanding  capital stock of Tidelands Oil Corporation
             and Tidelands Gas Corporation. On November 19, 1998, the legal name
             of the Company was changed to  Tidelands  Oil and Gas  Corporation,
             and the  aggregate  number  of  shares  in which  the  Company  has
             authority to issue was increased to 100,000,000 shares.

             Nature of Operations

             The  Company  is  presently   engaged,   through  its  wholly-owned
             subsidiaries   and   investments  in  joint  ventures  and  limited
             liability   companies,   in  the   acquisition,   exploration   and
             development of oil and gas properties in southern Texas.

             Principles of Consolidation

                  The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of
              the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant
              inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

             Fair Value of Financial Investments

             The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
             No. 107  "disclosure  about fair value of  financial  instruments,"
             which  requires  the  disclosure  of the fair  value of  off-and-on

                   CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

             Use of Estimates

             The preparation of consolidated  financial statements in accordance
             with generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management
             to  use  estimates  and  make  judgements.   While  management  has
             considered all available  information,  actual amounts could differ
             from those reported as assets, liabilities, related revenues, costs
             and expenses and the disclosed amounts of contingencies.

             Investments

             The equity method of accounting is used for investments,  owned 50%
             or less,  including  corporate joint ventures and limited liability
             companies.  Under  this  method,  equity in the  pre-tax  income or
             losses of  limited  liability  companies,  and in the net income or
             losses of joint-ventures, is reflected in the Company's revenues or
             expenses   rather  than  when   realized   through   dividends   or
             distributions.

             Oil and Gas Properties

             The Company uses the  successful  efforts  method of accounting for
             oil and gas producing  activities.  Costs,  including interest,  to
             acquire mineral  interests in oil and gas properties,  to drill and
             equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and
             equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory
             wells that do not find proved reserves,  geological and geophysical
             costs, and the costs of carrying and retaining unproved  properties
             are expensed.

             Unproved oil and gas properties that are  individually  significant
             are  periodically  assessed for impairment of value,  and a loss is
             recognized  at the time of  impairment  by providing an  impairment
             allowance.  Other unproved  properties  are amortized  based on the
             Company's  experience  of successful  drilling and average  holding
             period.  Capitalized  costs of  producing  oil and gas  properties,
             after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and
             estimated  salvage values,  are depleted by the  unit-of-production
             method.

             On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proven  property,
             the cost and related  accumulated  depreciation  and  depletion are
             eliminated  from the property  accounts,  and the resultant gain or
             loss is recognized.  On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of
             proved  property,  the cost is charged to accumulated  depreciation
             and depletion with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.

                   CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


             On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved  property for cash
             or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized,  taking
             into  consideration  the amount of any recorded  impairment  if the
             property has been assessed  individually.  If a partial interest in
             an unproved  property is sold, the amount  received is treated as a
             reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

             Support  equipment,  facilities  and other  related  equipment  are
             recorded at historical cost. Depreciation of property and equipment
             is provided on the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful
             economic lives of the related  assets.  Maintenance and repairs are
             charged to operations.  Additions and betterments, which extend the
             useful  lives of the assets are  capitalized.  Upon  retirement  or
             disposal, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from
             the  account,  and the  resulting  gain or  loss  is  reflected  in
             operations.

             Intangible Assets

             Intangible assets,  which primarily consist of the cost of acquired
             business  in  excess  of the fair  value  of  tangible  assets  and
             liabilities   acquired   (goodwill),    are   amortized,   by   the
             straight-line  method,  over an estimated  economic useful life, of
             the underlying values of the companies required, of twenty years.

             Long-Lived Assets

             The Company adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standards 121
             (SFAS 121)  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets to
             be Disposed  Of." SFAS 121 required  that  long-lived  assets to be
             held and used by the Company be reviewed  for  impairment  whenever
             events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the  related
             carrying amount may not be recoverable.  When required,  impairment
             losses on assets  to be held and used are  recognized  based on the
             fair value of the asset and long-lived assets to be disposed of are
             reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
             sell.

             The adoption of SFAS 121 and the  evaluation by the Company did not
             have a significant effect on the consolidated financial position or
             results of consolidated operations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


             Income Taxes

             The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement
             of Financial Accounting  Standards 109 (SFAS 109).  "Accounting for
             Income Taxes," which requires the  establishment  of a deferred tax
             asset or liability  for the  recognition  of future  deductions  or
             taxable  amounts and  operating  loss  carryforwards,  deferred tax
             expense or benefit is  recognized  as a result of the change in the
             deferred  asset or liability  during the year.  If  necessary,  the
             Company will establish a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred
             tax  asset to an amount  which  will,  more  likely  than  not,  be
             realized.

             Net Earnings Per Common Share

             The Company  accounts  for earnings  per share in  accordance  with
             statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standard  128  ("SFAS  128")
             "Earnings  per Share".  Basic  earnings per share is based upon the
             net earnings  applicable to common shares after preferred  dividend
             requirements  and upon the weighted average number of common shares
             outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects
             the effect of the assumed conversions of convertible securities and
             exercise of stock  options only in the periods in which such affect
             would have been dilutive.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF COMPANIES

             On October  21,  1998,  the  Company,  pursuant  to an  acquisition
             agreement,  acquired  100% of the  issued and  outstanding  capital
             stock of Tidelands Oil Corporation and Tidelands Gas Corporation in
             exchange for 8,635,000  shares of its restricted  common stock. The
             value of this transaction was determined by the mean average of the
             bid and asked  stock price  discounted  by 50%.  In  addition,  the
             deficit in the equity of the companies  acquired was offset against
             paid-in  capital in excess of par value.  Tidelands Oil Corporation
             and Tidelands Gas Corporation was owned by current  officers of the
             Company. The acquisition, accounted for as a purchase, was included
             in  consolidated  operations  of the Company from that date through
             December 31, 1998.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS


             A summary of investments  in Joint  Ventures and Limited  Liability
             Companies at December 31, 1998 is as follows:

                            Ownership                   Percentage

                         GT-Pla J.V. 96                  5.978%          $12,750

                         G-Halsell J.V. 96                 4.5%           14,028

                         Rio Bravo Energy LLC             50.0%            1,000
                                                                       ---------
                                                                         $27,778
                                                                       ---------

             The  Company's  potential  exposure  to loss,  with  respect to its
             investments  in Joint Ventures and Limited  Liability  Companies is
             generally  limited  to  its  positive   investments  and  advances.
             However,  in some cases the Company may be  otherwise  obligated to
             make capital contributions or loans to the ventures to make up cash
             flow deficits.  The Company's maximum exposure to credit and market
             risk  is  not   determinable   with  any  degree  to   accuracy  as
             determination of the ultimate amounts is dependent upon the manager
             of the joint ventures to optimize cash flows from the operations of
             the  projects  and  increase  the value of the  projects.  However,
             management  does not  believe  that the  Company's  exposure  would
             significantly exceed the aggregate of the exposure described above.

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS


             A summary of intangible assets at December 31, 1998 is as follows:

                         Goodwill                                    $ 3,737,209

                                                                     -----------
                                       Net                           $ 3,690,494

             The company evaluates the amortization  period of intangibles on an
             ongoing  basis,  in light of any  changes in  business  conditions,
             events or circumstances, that may indicate the potential impairment
             of intangible assets.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


               The  Company is subject to the laws and  regulations  relating to
               the  protection of the  environment.  The Company's  policy is to
               accrue  environmental  and cleanup related costs of a non-capital
               nature  when  it is  both  probable  that a  liability  has  been
               incurred  and  when  the  amount  can  be  reasonably  estimated.
               Although  it is not  possible  to  quantify  with any  degree  of
               certainty  the  financial  impact  of  the  Company's  continuing
               compliance efforts, management believes any future remediation or
               other  compliance  related costs will not have a material adverse
               effect  on  the  financial   condition  or  reported  results  of
               operations of the Company.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


               (a) On June 24, 1998 Tidelands Oil  Corporation and Tidelands Gas
               Corporation  (Subsidiaries),  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  the
               Company entered into an acquisition  agreement "Jersey Agreement"
               with Jersey Petroleum, Inc. On October 16, 1998, the subsidiaries
               formerly  notified  Jersey   Petroleum,   Inc.  that  the  Jersey
               Agreement  was  terminated  due  to  non-performance  of  certain
               provisions  and  other  misrepresentations  relating  to  pending
               litigation.

               Under the terms of the original Jersey  agreement and a debenture
               made a part thereof,  the  subsidiaries had drawn $155,000 of the
               debenture.  That amount would be  repayable to Jersey  Petroleum,
               Inc. 10 days after the date of the termination  letter or October
               26,   1998.   This  amount  had  not  been  repaid   pursuant  to
               management's belief that these costs were incurred as a result of
               misrepresentations by Jersey Petroleum, Inc.

               On October 22, 1998 Jersey Petroleum, Inc. filed suit against the
               subsidiaries and in the Supreme Court of British Columbia
               claiming unspecified damages for breach of contract.

               On December 11, 1998 a default  judgment against the subsidiaries
               was issued for $157,229.04. In March 1999, Jersey Petroleum, Inc.
               filed  suit  against  the  subsidiaries  in a Texas  State  court
               claiming  unspecified damages for breach of contract.  On May 20,
               1998,  the Supreme Court of British  Columbia  ruled to set aside
               the December 11, 1998 default  judgment.  In June 1999, the Texas
               State  Court set aside the March 1999 Texas  lawsuit  pending the
               timely  refiling  by  Jersey  Petroleum,  Inc.,  of the  Canadian
               lawsuit.  On August 18, 1999 the Company  paid Jersey  Petroleum,
               Inc.  $167,499 and issued 175,000  shares of restricted  "Section
               144" common stock as  settlement  of the  lawsuit.  In August and
               September  1999 the  Supreme  Court of British  Columbia  and the
               District Court of Nueces County, Texas dismissed all claims.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)

               (f) On April 6, 1999 the Company offered  2,000,000 shares of its
               common stock  pursuant to the  exemption  under  Regulation D and
               Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Board
               of Directors  determined to establish  the purchase  price of all
               shares purchased @ $.50 per share. This decision was made because
               of the  volatility  of the market  price of the  common  stock as
               traded on the NASDAQ  over-the-counter  bulletin board.  Proceeds
               from the offering are as follows:

               Conversion of debt                              $   295,750
               Conversion of trade payables                         19,000
               Working Capital - evidenced by a
                  promissory note maturing April 6, 2001
                  with Interest at 10%  (See Note 12-h)            685,250
                                                               -----------
                                                               $ 1,000,000

               (g) On December  28, 1999 the Board of  Directors  of the company
               approved  a stock  dividend  of 10% per share of common  stock to
               shareholders of record as of that date.

               (h) On February 1, 1999 the company executed a $1,000,000,  three
               year, 6% promissory note,  interest payable annually,  payable to
               Pan-Pacific  Investments,  Ltd.,  (Pan-Pacific)  a Cayman  Island
               Corporation,  as  security  for a credit line to be funded to the
               Company on an  as-needed  basis.  In  consideration,  the Company
               issued  to  Pan-Pacific  a  stock-option   agreement  to  acquire
               1,000,000  shares of common  stock for $1.00 per share,  expiring
               February 2, 2002.

               At December 31, 1999 the Company was indebted to Pan-Pacific, for
               advances  against  the credit  line,  in the amount of  $628,175.
               Pursuant to a December 31, 1999 assignment agreement, Pan-Pacific
               agreed to accept, as full payment of the outstanding  balance due
               them,  the  assignment  of  a  portion  of a  stock  subscription
               receivable.  This stock  subscription  receivable  arose from the
               Company's  April  6,  1999  Regulation  S stock  offering  and is
               secured by a two year, 10% promissory note. (See Note 12-f)

Reserve Information

The following estimate of proved reserve and proved developed reserve quantities
and related standardized measure of discounted net cash flow are estimates only,
and do not purport to reflect  realizable  values or fair  market  values of the
Company's reserves. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently
imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of
producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly,  those estimates are expected to
change as future information  becomes  available.  All of the Company's reserves
are located in the state of Texas.

Proved  reserves are estimated  reserves of crude oil (including  condensate and
natural gas  liquids)  and  natural gas that  geological  and  engineering  data
demonstrate  with  reasonable  certainty to be  recoverable in future years from
known  reservoirs  under  existing  economic and  operating  conditions.  Proved
developed  reserves are those expected to be recovered  through  existing wells,
equipment, and operating methods.

The  standardized  measure of  discounted  future net cash flows is  computed by
applying  year-end  prices of oil and gas (with  consideration  of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves,  less estimated  future  expenditures
(based on year-end  costs) to be included in developing and producing the proved
reserves,  less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statuary
tax  rates)  to be  incurred  on  pretax  net cash  flows  less tax basis of the
properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic
conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted, pursuant to
the  requirements of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards 69 (SFAS 69),
"Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities," using a rate of 10 percent
a year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.
