CANAAN ENERGY CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Canaan Energy Corporation (Canaan) is engaged primarily in the acquisition,
development and production of oil and natural gas properties. Canaan serves
as operator for approximately 110 producing oil and natural gas wells
located in Oklahoma.
Prior to October 23, 2000, Canaan also managed eight oil and natural gas
limited partnerships (the Coral Limited Partnerships) on behalf of Coral
Reserves, Inc. and Coral Reserves Energy Corporation, the general partners
of the Coral Limited Partnerships (the General Partners). Canaan and the
General Partners had the same ownership.
On October 23, 2000, Canaan acquired the Coral Limited Partnerships, the
General Partners, Canaan Securities, Inc. (CSI), an unaffiliated
broker/dealer which has previously participated in marketing of the limited
partnership interests, and Indian Oil Company (Indian), an unaffiliated oil
and natural gas company. Canaan issued 4,368,815 shares of its common stock
as consideration for the acquired entities. It also paid a stock dividend
of 562,368 shares to its shareholders of record immediately prior to the
combination transaction for the purpose of increasing Canaan's outstanding
shares to the amount allocated to it under the terms of the combination
transaction. The accompanying financial statements reflect the stock
dividend as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented.
Subsequent to October 23, 2000, the acquisition of the Coral Limited
Partnerships and the General Partners was accounted for as a reorganization
of interests under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests, and the acquisition of CSI and Indian were accounted for as
purchases.
On January 3, 2000, Coral Reserves Group, Ltd. changed its name to Canaan
Energy Corporation and continues to conduct business as Coral Reserves
Group, Ltd.
The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in Canaan's Registration Statement on
Form S-4, File No. 333-33321.
Accounting policies employed by Canaan reflect industry practices and
conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements as of September 30, 2000, and for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, reflect adjustments (all of which were
normal and recurring) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of
the interim periods presented.
2. COMBINATION TRANSACTIONS
On October 23, 2000 Canaan completed the business combination transactions
described in Note 1. As consideration for the acquired entities, Canaan
issued 4,368,815 shares of its common stock to shareholders of the acquired
entities. As discussed in Note 1, the acquisition of the Coral Limited
Partnerships was accounted for as a reorganization of interests under
common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, and the
acquisitions of Indian and CSI were accounted for as purchases. The
following unaudited proforma information presents the combined results of
operations of Canaan and the
-6-
<PAGE>
acquired entities as if the transactions had taken place as of the
beginning of 1999. The unaudited proforma financial information does not
necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had
the transactions actually taken place at the beginning of 1999.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT
At September 30, 2000, the Company had a $225,000 revolving bank credit
facility, maturing on November 1, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, the
Company had borrowed $125,000 under this facility. Borrowings under the
facility are secured by certain oil and natural gas properties and bear
interest at variable rates, which averaged 9.5% per annum as of September
30, 2000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the transactions described in Note 2,
the Company entered into a new secured revolving credit facility with a
group of banks which provides for an initial borrowing base of $34.25
million based on the Company's oil and gas reserves, which reduces monthly
at the rate of $535,000 beginning December 1, 2000. The credit facility has
a maturity date of October 2003. The terms of the facility give the Company
the option of either borrowing at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.5% to
2.25% or at a base rate approximating the prime rate plus a margin ranging
from 0.0% to 0.75% depending on the amount of advances outstanding in
relation to the borrowing base. The credit facility contains various
affirmative and restrictive covenants limiting additional indebtedness,
sales of assets, mergers and consolidations, dividends and distributions
and requires the maintenance of various financial ratios. Borrowings under
the agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's oil and gas
properties. In connection with the closing, the Company borrowed $34.1
million under the credit facility to refinance $31 million in existing
indebtedness of the parties to the transaction expenses.
4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 133
establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging
activities and supersedes and amends a number of existing standards. FAS
133 (as amended by FAS 137 and FAS 138) is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company expects
to adopt the provisions of FAS 133 as of January 1, 2001.
FAS 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments by requiring
that all derivatives be recognized as assets and liabilities and measured
at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives
(gains and losses) depends on (i) whether the derivative is designated and
qualifies as a hedge, and (ii) the type of hedging relationship that
exists. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as
hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in FAS 133 are
required to be reported in earnings. In addition, all hedging relationships
must be designated, reassessed and documented pursuant to the provisions of
FAS 133. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of
FAS 133, as amended. However, if the wellhead price of gas for January
2001 remains the same as the wellhead price being received as of September
2000, the Company will record a liability as of January 1, 2001 for its gas
price swap with the offsetting amount recorded as a component of other
comprehensive earnings (loss) in stockholders' equity. The Company intends
to designate its gas price swap contract as a cash flow hedge of the risk
of changes in the price to be received for certain forecasted gas
production.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion addresses material changes in results of operations
for the three- month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000,
compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999,
and in financial condition since December 31, 1999. The discussion should be
read in conjunction with Canaan's Registration Statement on Form S-4, File
No. 333-33321.
The discussion which follows is an analysis of the results of operations for
Canaan Energy Corporation during periods prior to the completion of the
Combination Transactions referred to in Item 1 and discussed further in this
Item.
OVERVIEW
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
REVENUES
Revenues from oil and natural gas sales increased 23% or $8,478 from $36,256
during the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $44,734 for the same
period of 2000. Gas production for the period increased 26% or 2,130 Mcf from
8,252 Mcf during the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 10,382 Mcf for
the same period of 2000. Average gas price received increased by 1% to $3.44
per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $3.41 for the same
period of 1999. Oil production fell by 16% during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 to 338 barrels versus 402 barrels for the same period of
1999. The effect of this decrease was offset by an increase in average oil
price of $4.08 per barrel or 21% from $19.76 per barrel during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 to $23.83 per barrel for the same period of
2000. Production calculated on an equivalent Mcf basis resulted in 12,409
Mcfe for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 10,663 Mcfe
for the same period in 1999, a 16% increase. The results of Canaan's hedging
activities for the three months ended September 30, 2000 served to decrease
oil revenues and average price by $2,693 and $7.97 per Bbl, respectively. The
effect of hedging activities on gas revenues and average price was a
reduction of $10,304 and $0.99 per Mcf, respectively.
LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE
Lease operating expenses rose $2,316 or 69% to $5,668 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, from $3,352 during the same period in 1999. This
increase was the result of operating expenses associated with new wells
drilled during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, including
transportation charges of $1,255 on the Gwartney 13-6 well. Credit
adjustments to one well in the three months ended September 30, 1999 served
to reduce 1999 expense, accounting for the remainder of the increase.
GROSS PRODUCTION TAXES
Gross production taxes increased by 3% to $3,732 in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $3,607 during the corresponding period of
1999. The increase was due to the 23% increase in oil and natural gas sales
and somewhat mitigated by certain transportation costs which are deducted for
gross production tax calculation purposes.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization fell $8,121 or 64% from $11,369 during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 to $3,248 for the same period of 2000.
The decline was attributable to a decrease in the full cost pool amortization
provision. Canaan records general and administrative expense reimbursements
in excess
-8-
<PAGE>
of general and administrative expenses incurred as reductions to the full
cost pool. Such reimbursements for the three months ended September 30, 2000
resulted in no amortizable costs remaining in the full cost pool.
Accordingly, depreciation and amortization for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 consisted only of depreciation on non oil and gas assets.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Net general and administrative expenses increased by $58,505 or 2264% to
$61,089 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2,584 for
the same period of 1999. Canaan operates eight affiliated partnerships on
behalf of the general partners, and receives reimbursement of its associated
expenses from the general partners. These amounts consist of general and
administrative reimbursement fees as defined in the partnership agreements
plus the general partners' monthly cash distributions, collectively
classified in the income statement as "partnership management fees". Fees in
excess of general and administrative expenses incurred are recognized as a
reduction of capitalized oil and gas costs, and those fees in excess of net
capitalized oil and gas costs are recognized as an increase in stockholders'
equity. General and administrative expenses before the reduction by
partnership management fees rose $23,505 or 9% to $264,089 during the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $240,584 for the same period of
1999. Principal components of the increase were salaries expense, which rose
$84,350 or 41% from $207,968 to $292,318 and professional fees, which rose
$33,562 in 2000, primarily in connection with Canaan's S-4 registration.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
REVENUES
Revenues from oil and natural gas sales increased 26% or $24,180 from $91,672
during the first nine months of 1999 to $115,852 for the same period of 2000.
This increase was due primarily to rising oil and gas prices, which
averaged $23.06 per barrel and $3.02 per Mcf for the first nine months of
2000 versus $16.33 per barrel and $2.38 per Mcf for the corresponding period
of 1999. These prices represent a 41% increase for oil and a 27% increase
for gas. Revenue increases attributable to rising prices were offset by
declines in oil production and by the effects of Canaan's hedging activities.
Oil production for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 fell by 18% or
217 barrels to 993 barrels versus 1,210 barrels for the same period of 1999.
Gas production for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by 1%
or 396 Mcf to 30,404 Mcf as compared to 30,008 Mcf during the same period of
1999. Production calculated on an equivalent Mcf basis resulted in 36,363
Mcfe for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 37,268 Mcfe for
the same period in 1999, a 2% decrease. The results of Canaan's hedging
activities for the first nine months of 2000 served to decrease oil revenues
and average price by $6,086 and $6.13 per Bbl, respectively. The effect of
hedging activities on gas revenues and average price was a reduction of
$12,617 and $0.41 per Mcf, respectively.
LEASE OPERATING EXPENSE
Lease operating expenses rose $9,506 or 89% to $20,184 for the first nine
months of 2000, from $10,678 during the same period in 1999. This increase
was the result of operating expenses associated with new wells drilled during
the first nine months of 2000, including transportation charges of $3,946 on
the Gwartney 13-6 well. Credit adjustments to one well in the first nine
months of 1999 served to reduce 1999 expense, accounting for the remainder of
the increase.
GROSS PRODUCTION TAXES
Gross production taxes increased by $1,893 or 29% to $8,491 during the first
nine months of 2000 as compared to $6,598 during the corresponding period of
1999. The increase was due to a 39% rise in oil and natural gas sales before
the effect of Canaan's hedging activities.
-9-
<PAGE>
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization fell $12,783 or 56% from $22,953 during the
first nine months of 1999 to $10,170 for the same period of 2000. The decline
was attributable to a decrease in the full cost pool amortization provision.
Canaan records general and administrative expense reimbursements in excess of
general and administrative expenses incurred as reductions to the full cost
pool. Such reimbursements through the first nine months of 2000 resulted in
significantly lower amortizable costs in the full cost pool. Accordingly,
full cost pool amortization decreased $4,662 or 77% from $6,088 during the
first nine months of 1999 to $1,426 for the same period in 2000.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Net general and administrative expenses increased $67,139 to $69,723 for the
first nine months of 2000 versus $2,584 for the first nine months of 1999.
Canaan operates eight affiliated partnerships on behalf of the general
partners, and receives reimbursement of its associated expenses from the
general partners. These amounts consist of general and administrative
reimbursement fees as defined in the partnership agreements plus the general
partners' monthly cash distributions, collectively classified in the income
statement as "partnership management fees". Fees in excess of general and
administrative expenses incurred are recognized as a reduction of capitalized
oil and gas costs, and those fees in excess of net capitalized oil and gas
costs are recognized as an increase in stockholders' equity. General and
administrative expenses before the reduction by partnership management fees
rose $288,815 or 52% to $839,871 during the nine months ended September 30,
2000 compared to $551,056 for the same period of 1999. Principal components
of the increase were salaries expense, which rose $177,595 or 43% from
$408,687 to $586,262 and professional fees, which rose $63,562 in 2000,
primarily in connection with Canaan's S-4 registration,
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30,
2000 was approximately 88%, as compared to the 57% for the comparable period
of 1999. The increase in the effective income tax rate is predominantly the
result of taxable income related to contract services that are recognized as
an increase to additional paid-in capital for financial statement purposes.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The following discussion of capital expenditures, capital resources and
liquidity should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of
cash flows included in Part I, Item 1 included elsewhere herein.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Canaan incurred $57,097 in capital expenditures during the first nine months
of 2000. Approximately $33,000 of this total was spent in the drilling and
development of oil and gas properties. The remaining $24,000 related
primarily to computer equipment and field truck expenditures.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1999 totaled $109,715, all
of which was spent in the acquisition, drilling or development of oil and gas
properties.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Canaan's cash requirements have been met primarily with cash flow provided by
operations, and supplemented by borrowings under the Company's bank credit
facility. At September 30, 2000, Canaan had
-10-

a bank credit facility in place that provided for a borrowing base of
$225,000. The unused portion of this borrowing base was $100,000.
The bank note payable had a balance of $125,000 at September 30, 2000 and is
due November 1, 2000.
CLOSING OF COMBINATION TRANSACTIONS
Canaan completed on October 23, 2000 the acquisition of eight private oil and
gas limited partnerships previously sponsored by its affiliates, the
acquisition of Canaan Securities, Inc., an unaffiliated broker/dealer which
has previously participated in marketing of the limited partnership
interests, and the acquisition of Indian Oil Company, a privately held oil
and gas company based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In the transaction, the
Company issued 4,368,815 shares of its common stock to approximately 800
shareholders and made cash payments to electing limited partners and brokers
of $966,024.
A complete description of the transactions is contained in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-30322, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Simultaneously with the closing of the transactions, the Company entered into
a new secured revolving credit facility with a group of banks which provides
for an initial borrowing base of $34.25 million based on the Company's oil
and gas reserves, which reduces monthly at the rate of $535,000 beginning
December 1, 2000. The credit facility has a maturity date of October 2003.
The terms of the facility give the Company the option of either borrowing at
the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.5% to 2.25% or at a base rate approximating
the prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75% depending on the
amount of advances outstanding in relation to the borrowing base. The credit
facility contains various affirmative and restrictive covenants limiting
additional indebtedness, sales of assets, mergers and consolidations,
dividends and distributions and requires the maintenance of various financial
ratios. Borrowings under the agreement are secured by substantially all of
the Company's oil and gas properties. In connection with the closing, the
Company borrowed $34.1 million under the credit facility to refinance $31
million in existing indebtedness of the parties to the transaction and to
fund cash payments to limited partners and other parties and transaction
expenses. The Company's oil and gas reserves support an allowable borrowing
base of $43.5 million. Currently two banks participate in the $34.25 million
available borrowing base credit facility. The Company expects that a third
bank will be added to the group in the fourth quarter of 2000, increasing the
available borrowing base by $9.25 million to $43.5 million.
As a result of the closing of these transactions, subsequent to October 23,
2000, Canaan's assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses and cash flows
will all increase significantly. Summary pro forma financial information
giving effect to the transaction is included in Item 1 of this report. More
comprehensive pro forma information will be filed as an amendment to the Form
8-K dated October 23, 2000 reporting the closing within the time frame
permitted by applicable SEC rules.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Canaan is a party to one natural gas price swap and one oil price swap. The
oil price swap contract was entered into in 1999, and the natural gas price
swap contract was entered into in 2000.
The natural gas price swap agreement covers 1,500 Mcf of gas per month
through May 2001. Canaan receives $2.97 per Mcf and pays the counterparty a
floating index price. The floating index price as of September 30, 2000 was
$4.49 per Mcf. Each $.10 per Mcf increase in the floating index price creates
an additional $150 per month that Canaan is obligated to pay the counterparty.
The oil price swap agreement covers 100 barrels of oil per month through
December 2000. Canaan receives $22.00 per barrel and pays the counterparty a
floating index price. The floating index price as of September 30, 2000 was
$33.87 per barrel. Each $1.00 per barrel increase in the floating index price
creates an additional $100 per month that Canaan is obligated to pay the
counterparty.

The interest rate on Canaan's bank credit facility is based upon the
financial institution's prime rate plus 1 percent. As of September 30, 2000,
the interest rate on the bank credit facility rate was 9.50%. Based upon the
amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2000, a 100 basis point change in the
base rate would increase Canaan's monthly interest payments by approximately
$100 per month. After completion of the combination transactions on October
23, 2000 as described in Item 2, Canaan has $34.1 million in outstanding bank
borrowings. Based on this amount, a 100 basis point change in the base rate
would increase Canaan's monthly interest payments by approximately $28,000
per month.
Canaan does not have any other market rate sensitive financial instruments.
