                         TIDELANDS OIL & GAS CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------   ---------------------

               The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial
               statements  for the three month  periods ended March 31, 2000 and
               1999,  have been prepared in conformity  with generally  accepted
               accounting  principles for interim financial information and with
               the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. The financial
               information  as  of  December  31,  1999,  is  derived  from  the
               registrant's  Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December  31, 1999.
               Certain information or footnote  disclosures normally included in
               financial   statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally
               accepted  accounting  principles  have been  condensed or omitted
               pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
               Exchange Commission.

               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 at the date of the financial statements
               and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the
               reporting   period.   Actual  results  could  differ  from  those
               estimates.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   the  accompanying
               financial statements include all adjustments necessary (which are
               of a normal and recurring  nature) for the fair  presentation  of
               the  results  of  the  interim  periods   presented.   While  the
               registrant  believes that the disclosures  presented are adequate
               to keep the information  from being  misleading,  it is suggested
               that  these   accompanying   financial   statements  be  read  in
               conjunction with the registrant's audited consolidated  financial
               statements  and  notes  for the year  ended  December  31,  1999,
               included  in the  registrant's  Form  10-KSB  for the year  ended
               December 31, 1999.

               Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2000
               are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  results  that  may be
               expected for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31,
               2000. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
               statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  registrant  and  its
               wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts
               and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - INTANGIBLES
- ------   -----------

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

               The   adoption  of  Statement  of   Accounting   Standards   121,
               "Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  to  be
               Disposed of", and the evaluation by the registrant,  did not have
               a significant  effect on the consolidated  financial  position or
               results of  operations  of the  registrant  for the three  months
               ended March 31, 2000.

               Acquisition corporation,  a Nevada corporation,  was incorporated
               January  12,  2000.   On  February  18,  2000  Omni   Acquisition
               Corporation  filed a Form 10-SB  registration  statement with the
               Securities and Exchange Commission and was classified as a "blank

               Pursuant  to the  business  combination  agreement,  the  Company
               exchanged  250,000  shares of its stock for 5,000,000  issued and
               outstanding   shares  of  Omni   Acquisition   Corporation.   The
               restricted  shares  will be issued  from the  Company's  treasury
               pursuant  to the  Securities  Transaction  Exemption  afforded by
               Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

               On May 15, 2000,  Omni  Acquisition  Corporation,  a wholly-owned
               subsidiary  of Tidelands Oil & Gas  Corporation,  was merged into

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
- ------   ------------------------------

               FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

               This Form 10-QSB  contain  forward-looking  statements.  For this
               purpose,  any  statements  contained in this Form 10-QSB that are
               not   statements  of   historical   fact  may  be  deemed  to  be
               forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words
               such  as  "may",  "will",  "expect",   "believe",   "anticipate",
               "estimate"  or  "continue"  or the  negative or other  variations
               thereof  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.

               PLAN OF OPERATION

               The  Company's  plan of operation for the next twelve (12) months
               through its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  Tidelands Oil Corporation
               and Tidelands Gas  Corporation is to continue to rework  existing
               oil and gas wells for the purpose of achieving increased revenues
               and to assist in  developing  its fifty  percent  (50%) owned gas
               processing  plant and  fifty percent (50%) owned  pipeline system
               to their capacities.

               In addition, subject to available funding, the Company would seek
               to acquire additional oil and/or gas producing properties..

               FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

               The  Company  currently  does not have the  liquidity  or capital
               resources  to fund its  operations  until  revenues  and  profits
               increase  as  described  in it's  "Plan  of  Operations"  without
               utilizing  its one  million  dollar  ($1,000,000)  line of credit
               which has been  drawn in the amount of  $66,425,  as of March 31,
               2000 or  obtaining  additional  borrowing  and/or sales of common
               stock.

               The  Company   anticipates   raising   further   funding  through
               short-term  and mid-term  loans and/or sale of restricted  common
               stock to accredited investors.
