                        FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     This Form 10-KSB contains certain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  For
this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-KSB that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements.  Without limited the foregoing, words such as "may," "will,"
"expect," "believe," anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or comparable
terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These
statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and
actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors,
many of which are not within the Company's control.  These factors include
but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries
in which the Company and its customers participate; competition within the
Company's industry, including competition from much larger competitors;
technological advances which could render the Company's products less
competitive or obsolete; failure by the Company successfully to develop new
products or to anticipate current or prospective customers' product needs;
price increase or supply limitations for components purchased by the
Company for use in its products; and delays, reductions, or cancellations
of orders previously placed with the Company.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Basic Energy, Inc was originally organized on June 4, 1926 in the
State of Utah under the name The M.M. Lead Company.  The Company was
established to pursue and develop mining operations.  On February 28, 1979,
the Company changed its name to M.M. Lead Company and again changed its
name to Basic Energy, Inc., on February 22, 1980.

     The Company was unsuccessful in its pursuit of mining ventures and has
been dormant.  The Company has focused its efforts on seeking,
investigating, and if warranted, acquiring an interest in a business
opportunity.  The Company does not propose to restrict its search for a
business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and
may, therefore, engage in essentially any business in any industry. The
Company has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a
business opportunity; subject to the availability of such opportunities,
economic conditions and other factors.

     The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is
complex and extremely risky and will be made by management in the exercise
of its best judgment.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately
prove to be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.


                                     3
</Page>
<PAGE>

     The activities of the Company are subject to several significant risks
which arise primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has no
specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity
based on the decision of management which will, in all probability, act
without the consent, vote, or approval of the Company's shareholders. The
risks faced by the Company are further increased as a result of its lack of
resources and its inability to provide a prospective business opportunity
with capital.

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

     Prior to filing of the registration statement on Form 10-SB, the
Company was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act.  Upon effectiveness of this registration
statement, the Company will file annual and quarterly reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  The public may read and copy
materials filed by the Company with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference
Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.  The public may
obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling
the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Company is an electronic filer and the SEC
maintains an Internet site that contains reports and other information
regarding the Company which may be viewed at http://www.sec.gov.

SOURCES OF OPPORTUNITIES

     It is anticipated that business opportunities may be available to the
Company from various sources, including its officers and directors,
professional advisers, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists,
members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited
proposals.

     The Company will seek a potential business opportunity from all known
sources, but will rely principally on personal contacts of its officers and
directors as well as indirect associations between them and other
businesses and professional people.  Although the Company does not
anticipate engaging  professional firms specializing in business
acquisitions or reorganizations, if management deems it in the best
interest of the Company, such firms may be retained.  In some instances,
the Company may publish notices or advertisements seeking a potential
business opportunity in financial or trade publications.

CRITERIA

     The Company will not restrict its search to any particular business,
industry or geographical location. The Company may acquire a business
opportunity or enter into a business in any industry and in any stage of
development. The Company may enter into a business or opportunity involving
a "start up" or new company.  The Company may acquire a business
opportunity in various stages of its operation.

     In seeking a business venture, the decision of management of the
Company will not be controlled by an attempt to take advantage of an
anticipated or perceived appeal of a specific industry, management group,
or product or industry, but will be based upon the business objective of
seeking long-term capital appreciation in the real value of the Company.



                                     4

<PAGE>
     In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will
consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial
resources; working capital and other financial requirements; the history of
operations; prospects for the future; the nature of present and expected
competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be
available and the depth of the management; the potential for further
research, development or exploration; the potential for growth and
expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or
acceptance of products, services, trade or service marks, name
identification; and other relevant factors.

     To a large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business
opportunity may be made upon management's analysis of the quality of the
other firm's management and personnel, the ability to market products, and
numerous other factors which are difficult if not impossible to analyze
through the application of any objective criteria.  In many instances, it
is anticipated that the results of operations of a specific firm may not
necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the
requirement to substantially augment management, or other factors.

     Generally, the Company will analyze all factors in the circumstances
and make a determination based upon a composite of available facts, without
reliance upon any single fact as controlling.

METHODS OF PARTICIPATION OF ACQUISITION

     Specific business opportunities will be reviewed and, on the basis of
that review, the legal structure or method of participation deemed by
management to be suitable will be selected. The Company may consider
structures and methods such as leases, purchase and sale agreements,
licenses, joint ventures, or other contractual arrangements and may involve
a reorganization, merger or consolidation transaction.  The Company may act
directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation,
or other form of organization.

PROCEDURES

     As part of the Company's investigation of business opportunities,
officers and directors may meet personally with management and key
personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity, visit and
inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of
certain information provided, check references of management and key
personnel, and conduct other reasonable measures.

     The Company will generally request that it be provided with written
materials regarding the business opportunity containing such items as: a
description of product, service and company history;  management resumes;
financial information; available projections with related assumptions upon
which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services;
present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of
transactions between the prospective entity and its affiliates; relevant
analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation
and estimated capital requirements; and other information deemed relevant.

COMPETITION

     The Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its
efforts to acquire a business opportunity.  The primary competition is from
other companies, organized and funded for similar purposes, small venture
capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies
and wealthy individuals who are interested in a business opportunity.  Many
of these companies and groups have substantial financial and personal
resources which give such companies considerable advantage over the
Company.

EMPLOYEES

     The Company does not currently have any employees but relies upon the
efforts of its officers and directors to conduct the business of the
Company.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company leases 600 square feet of office space at 3771 South State
Street, Salt Lake City, Utah.  The lease terms are $50.00 per month,
renewable at the same rate every twelve months.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                         ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     No legal proceedings are threatened or pending against the Company or
any of its officers or directors.  Further, none of the Company's officers
or directors or affiliates of the Company are parties against the Company
or have any material interests in actions that are adverse to the Company's
interests.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

               ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
                      AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     At present, the Company's shares are not publicly traded.  There is no
assurance that a trading market will develop, or if developed, that it can
be sustained.  The Company intends to apply for listing on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board.  As of the date of this Form 10-KSB, the Company has not
yet been listed.  Typically, it takes about three months after the filing
of the application for listing before the Company is actually listed.  As
of November 7, 2000 the Company had 177 shareholders holding7,200,250
common shares.  Of the issued and outstanding common stock, 1,182,910 are
free trading, the balance are "restricted securities" shares as that term
is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission .  The Company has never paid, nor declared a dividend on its
common shares since its inception and does not intend to declare any such
dividend in the foreseeable future.  The Company's ability to pay dividends
is subject to limitations imposed by Utah law.

               ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company has little cash and has experienced losses.  As of June
30, 2000 the Company  has -0- cash on hand.  As of that date the Company
had no outstanding liabilities.  The Company has no material commitments
for capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

     As of the date of this Form 10-KSB, the Company has yet to generate
positive cash flow.  The Company has financed its operations primarily
through the sale of common stock.

     The Company believes that its current cash needs can be met either
through the sale of additional stock or through loans.  However, should the
Company obtain a business opportunity, it may be necessary to raise
additional capital.  This may be accomplished by selling common stock of
the Company.

     Management of the Company intends to actively seek business
opportunities for the Company during the next twelve months.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

     Directors and executive officers are required to comply with Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires generally that
such persons file reports regarding ownership of and transactions in
securities of the Company on Forms 3, 4, and 5.  A Form 3 is an initial
statement of ownership of securities, which is to be filed by the officers
and directors owning shares in the Company within 10 days after the
effective date of the Company's filing on Form 10-SB.    Form 4 is to
report changes in beneficial ownership and is due on or before the tenth
day of the month following any month in which they engage in any
transaction in the Company's common stock.  Form  5 covers annual statement
of changes in beneficial ownership which is due 90 days after the fiscal
year end of the Company.

     Based solely on a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto
furnished to the Company during its most recent fiscal year, and Forms 5
and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to the most
recent fiscal year, it appears that all forms were timely filed.

                        Independent Auditors Report
                        ----------------------------

To the Board of Directors & Stockholders
of Basic Energy, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Basic Energy, Inc., (a
development stage company) as of June 30, 2000,  and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.   The financial statements of Basic Energy,
Inc., as of  June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the period June 30, 1926
(inception) to June 30, 1999 were audited by other auditors whose report
dated July 14, 1999, included an explanatory paragraph that described the
going concern as discussed in Note #4 to the financial statements.

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 misstatements.  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 the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statements presentation.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the June 30, 2000 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Basic
Energy, Inc., as of June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note #4 to the
financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and a negative
net worth at June 30, 2000.  Those conditions raise substantial doubt about
it's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans regarding
those  matters are also discussed in Note #4.  The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

                 Notes to Financial Statements -Continued-

NOTE #4 - Going Concern
-----------------------
The Company has no assets and no operations from which it can obtain
working capital.  The Company recognizes that it must find a source of
working capital or the Company may not be able to continue its existence.

NOTE #5 - Income Taxes
----------------------

The Company has adopted FASB 109 to account for income taxes.  The Company
currently has no issues that create timing differences that would mandate
deferred tax expense.  Net operating losses would create possible tax
assets in future years.  Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of
net operating loss carryforwards an evaluation allowance has been made to
the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.
Changes in majority control of the Company will have negative impact upon
the Company's ability to utilize net operations loss carryforwards.

The Company has incurred losses that can be carried forward to offset
future earnings if conditions of the Internal revenue Codes are met.  These
losses are as follows:

                                Year of Loss     Amount  Expiration Date
                              --------------- ---------- ----------------
                                1985 to 2000  $ 518,292     2000 to 2020

     Current Tax Asset Value of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
      at Current Prevailing Federal Tax Rate                     $ 176,219
     Evaluation Allowance                                        ( 176,219)
                                                                 ----------
       Net Tax Asset                                             $     -0-
