ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

     Paladin International Corporation (the "Company") is a development stage independent oil and gas exploration, development and production company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 4, 1996 as Paladin Resources Corporation for the purpose of acquiring producing oil and gas properties that have significant additional reserves that can ultimately be recovered through the use of modern technology. In order to be able to transact business in the State of Texas the Company caused a wholly owned subsidiary, Paladin Technology Corporation, to be formed under the laws of the State of Texas on November 3, 1997. In 1998 the Company filed to register its shares of common stock for sale to residents of the State of Texas. Before the State of Texas would permit the Company to make any such sales to its residents, the Company was required to qualify to transact business in the State of Texas. As a company with a similar name already existed in the State of Texas, the Company had to first change its name, which was changed to Paladin International Corporation effective November 16, 1998. Although the new name of the Company is Paladin International Corporation, the Company did not then have any operations outside of the States of Texas and California. On November 19, 1998 the Company received authority to transact business in the State of Texas and on December 16, 1998 the Company received permission from the Texas State Securities Board to make sales of its common stock to residents of Texas. Paladin Technology Corporation, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, continues to own and manage all of the interests of the Company in the State of Texas.

     The Company currently owns producing and non-producing properties that are located in the States of California and Texas. The Company's producing properties average approximately fourteen barrels of oil per day from a total of twelve wells. Several of the Company's non-producing wells are currently being reworked and re-equipped in order to place them back in production.

     In order to continue to grow, the Company must acquire producing properties or locate and develop new oil and gas reserves. Without the acquisition of producing properties or successful drilling and exploration activities, the Company's reserves and revenues will decline as reserves are depleted by production from existing properties. Subject to availability to the Company of sufficient capital, the Company plans to acquire additional producing oil and gas properties, although no funds are currently available to the Company for this purpose.

     The successful acquisition and development of producing oil and gas properties requires the assessment of the possible recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices, availability of equipment, success of current exploration and production techniques, operating costs, the existence of potential environmental and other liabilities and other factors. Such assessments are inexact and their accuracy is uncertain. Even an in depth review of a property and the available records relating thereto will not necessarily reveal all existing or potential problems or risks. Such review may not permit the Company to become sufficiently familiar with the property to be able to fully assess its deficiencies, liabilities or its capabilities. In many instances, investigations may not be made on every well and potential environmental problems are not necessarily observable even when a visual inspection is made.

     The process for acquiring future producing oil and gas leases may be lengthy due to the amount of investigation, both legal and geological, that may be required before the Company is comfortable in making an offer to acquire the property. Also, investigation must be made of the compliance requirements of various applicable governmental agencies. Upon acquisition, any newly acquired property will be extensively analyzed for possible workovers or operational changes which the Company believes will increase production or reduce the costs of operation.

     The Company plans to concentrate its efforts toward acquiring properties having producing oil and gas reserves that it believes have significant potential for additional exploitation through additional development and enhanced recovery using the modern technologies now available such as 3-D seismic, horizontal drilling, electronic controls and hydraulic lifting systems. The Company believes that in many cases with the use of these new technologies it is now less expensive to produce oil and gas and that oil and gas reserves that were formerly deemed uneconomical can now be produced profitably.

     As is customary in the oil and gas industry, the Company may perform only a minimal title investigation before acquiring a non-producing oil and gas property. However, before acquiring a producing oil and gas property the Company generally obtains a title report from an attorney covering title to the property, or at least a major portion if the acquisition consists of a group of properties. A drill site opinion is obtained from an attorney prior to commencement of any drilling operations.

     As a part of the consideration for the assignment of a property, the Company is generally required to assume the obligation to plug and abandon any wells on the property not already plugged and abandoned. Wells are plugged and abandoned when it is later determined that it is no longer economic to continue producing the well. The cost of plugging a well can run from $500 to $10,000 depending on the depth, condition of the well and the salvage value of its related equipment. The Company plans to acquire only those properties having wells that will not jeopardize its operations and that in the long run are economically worth the risk involved compared to the possible production to be acquired. In many cases, wells can be plugged and abandoned in exchange for the tubing, casing and other equipment removed during the plugging and abandoning process.

     The Company's oil and gas properties are subject to customary royalty interests, possible overriding royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements, and liens for current taxes and other burdens which the Company believes do not materially interfere with the use of such property. The property may also be subject to liens incurred for funds obtained for the acquisition of the property.

     The actual drilling, reworking and production operations on oil and gas properties owned by the Company are not undertaken by the Company, but are performed by non-affiliated third party contractors. However, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Paladin Technology Corporation, a Texas corporation, will generally act as the operator of such properties within the State of Texas, thereby supervising the exploration, drilling, reworking and production activities performed by such third parties.

     The operations of the Company are subject to all risks inherent in the exploration for and production of oil and gas, including such hazards as fires, blowouts, explosions, cratering, pipe failures, casing collapse and abnormally pressured formations. The operations of the Company are also subject to environmental hazards including oil and saltwater spills, gas leaks, ruptures and discharges of toxic gases and wastes. These risks and hazards could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. As the owner of working interests in oil and gas properties, the Company bears its proportionate share of the obligations and liabilities arising out of the exploration, development and producing of its oil and gas properties.

     The source and availability of raw materials is generally not a significant factor in the operations of the Company. Such raw materials include such items as drilling and workover rigs and other equipment, casing, tubing, drilling mud, storage tanks, pumping units and other equipment and supplies. Such items are commonly available from a number of sources.

     At the present time the Company holds no patents or trademarks

     The oil and gas activities of the Company are non-seasonal, and the Company does not carry a significant inventory of equipment or supplies for its oil and gas operations.

     The oil and gas operations of the Company are not dependent upon any single or a few customers, and the loss of any one customer would not materially affect the Company. The Company currently markets its production to two customers, one in Texas and one in California. The availability of oil and gas purchasers, however, is such that another buyer can readily replace any customer. The Company receives numerous unsolicited calls from buyers offering to purchase its production.


Government Regulation 

     The oil and gas industry is subject to extensive and developing federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the exploration for, development, production, storage, emission, marketing, transportation of oil, gas and waste water as well as other environmental and safety matters. Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Numerous agencies, federal, state and local, have issued rules and regulations applicable to the oil and gas industry, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. Various laws and regulations require permits for drilling wells and the maintenance of bonding requirements in order to drill and operate wells. Such rules and regulations also regulate the spacing and location of wells, and provide requirements for drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties on which wells are drilled or operated, the plugging and abandoning of wells, the prevention of waste of oil and gas and the prevention and cleanup of pollutants. These departments and agencies often require periodic reports on production from wells and other matters. Such laws and regulations have generally become more stringent in recent years, often imposing greater liability on an ever larger number of potentially responsible parties. The Company is also subject to laws and regulations covering occupational safety and health matters. Because the requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with their requirements. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases its costs of doing business and, consequently, affects its profitability. 

     Permits, registrations or other authorizations are required for the operation of the Company's production facilities. These permits, registrations or authorizations are subject to revocation, modification and renewal and in some instances payment of annual fees. Failure to obtain or maintain a required permit may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties. 

     Some risk of costs and liabilities related to environmental, health and safety matters is inherent in the Company's operation, as it is with other companies in the oil and gas industry. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. 

     Currently, the Company's operations are subject to regulation by the Texas Railroad Commission, The California Department of Conservation- Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Company will maintain full reporting and regulatory compliance with all of these agencies.

Competition

     Competition for the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties and in the exploration and production of oil and gas is intense. All phases of the oil and gas industry are highly competitive and it is a speculative business. The Company faces competition from both major and independent oil and gas companies as well as individuals of varying sizes that are seeking to acquire desirable producing oil and gas properties, new leases and exploration prospects. Many of these competitors have financial, personnel and other resources that substantially exceed those available to the Company and, therefore, have greater leverage to use in acquiring properties, prospects, personnel, consultants and in marketing oil and gas. Producers can drive prices up or down through increases or decreases of their sales into the market The Company must also compete with other industries that supply alternative sources of fuel and energy. 

     Company management has studied these problems and has based the Company's business planning on what they believe to be a conservative prediction of oil and gas prices and opportunities.

Employees and Consultants

     The Company is currently a development stage company and as such has no employees other than its Officers and Directors. The Company currently employees independent contractors to supervise its production, development and reworking operations. The Company may hire personnel as required by its operations and may from time to time engage the services of geological and engineering consultants to assist in its operations. The full time Officers of the Company are Joseph W. Petrov, President, Treasurer and a Director, and Stafford E, Andrews, Vice President, Secretary and a Director.

Offices

     The Company's principal office is located at Suite 300, 3131 West Alabama, Houston, Texas 77098. The Company leases on a month to month basis 750 square feet of office space from Tri Stellar, Inc. (a corporation wholly owned by Joseph W. Petrov and Stafford E. Andrews, the Company's Directors and President and Vice President, respectively) for $2,500 per month. The lease includes the use of equipment including computers, office computer programs, fax machine, copy machine, telephones, desks, files and fixtures and secretarial services. The lease with Tri Stellar, Inc, is no less favorable to the Company than can be obtained from independent third parties. The Company's telephone number is 713-529-9394,

     The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Paladin Technology Corporation, owns a 2,500 square foot metal office and storage building, together with a storage yard, located at 1305 Jiffy Blvd., Jourdanton, Texas.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY

     The Company's strategy is to approach a number of individuals as well as owners of small privately held oil and gas companies who have survived the downturn in the petroleum industry for the possible acquisition of their properties. In many cases they are tired of the ever-increasing burden of paperwork and regulations brought on by environmental and other governmental agencies. They are too small to attract offers from the larger oil and gas companies and realize that they can achieve the greatest value for their production by combining their assets with those of a company that will provide them with a public market for any securities received by them in exchange for their properties. By consolidating these companies and individuals through an exchange of its Common Stock, the Company will provide them with management for their producing properties and increase the profitability of the properties by elimination of duplicate overhead charges.

     The Company plans to increase the amount of its yearly oil and gas production by forming drilling, exploration and development partnerships and joint ventures with other oil and gas companies and with individuals. The Company plans to increase the income from its existing oil and gas properties, while continuing to acquire additional profitable properties.

     Numerous major and independent oil companies have offered for sale, or bid, their smaller or isolated oil and gas properties. The Company does not currently have sufficient revenue or funds available to it to acquire such properties without raising additional capital. The Company plans to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or loans, or combinations thereof, in order to have sufficient capital to acquire some of such properties. However, without raising additional capital the Company will be unable to acquire additional producing oil and gas properties (unless the owners of such properties are willing to accept the securities of the Company in exchange for their properties), and its ability to fully develop its existing oil and gas properties will be limited to its cash flow. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional capital. At the present time the Company has not identified any specific oil and gas property that it plans to acquire, and plans to make a selection of prospective properties for acquisition only upon raising such additional funds.


ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Oil and Gas Properties

     The Company owns working interests in certain producing and non-producing oil and gas properties in the States of California and Texas.

California

     In July of 1997, the Company acquired a 95% working interest in the Glide-Williams Lease in Kern County, California that included approximately 80 mineral acres and three flowing oil wells. The lease is located between the towns of Schafter and Wasco and approximately one-eighth mile from the intersection of Wildwood and the Kimberlina Highway. The 95% working interest was valued at $156,750 and was acquired in exchange for 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at forty cents per share, the issuance of the Company's $50,000 promissory note and a reduction by $6,750 of the amount owed by the seller to the Company. The working interest acquired was subject to a first lien. securing money advanced to the seller, Pacific Energy Resources, Inc., by a third party. The seller retained a 5% working interest in the lease and is the operator for the property. The three wells were drilled and completed in the 1970's by Exxon Corporation to depths in excess of 6,000 feet and have produced continuously since they were completed. Currently the three wells are collectively producing approximately seven to eight barrels of oil per day. The Company has been informed that none of these wells have been reworked, cleaned out or treated in the past fifteen years, even though they are producing from a formation likely to sand-up and in which paraffin can be a problem. The prior operator from whom the Company acquired the leases and wells did not have the financial ability to work on the wells and used the cash flow generated by the wells for other corporate purposes, allowing the facility to deteriorate. The Company has learned from a previous operator of the lease that in the past when these wells were reworked or cleaned out the production for each well was increased to as much as 40 barrels of oil per day with the amounts varying from well to well. The storage and treatment facilities on the lease include two 1,000 barrel storage tanks and two other 700 barrel tanks used for treating the produced oil for sale. Since acquisition by the Company, extensive expense environmental work on the surface and storage facilities has been completed. The operator of the lease plans to rework these wells as funds are available from the Company.

     In September 1997 the Company acquired 100% of the fee mineral interest in 1,200 acres in Kern County, California in the vicinity of the Glide-Williams Lease, in exchange for 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a deemed price of forty cents per share. These fee mineral acres are in blocks of varying sizes and are not contiguous. The mineral acres are located approximately two miles from recent deep drilling and prolific production at depths in excess of 19,000 feet in the Lost Hills area of Kern County. Due to the extreme cost of drilling wells to these depths and the abnormally high pressures that were encountered during drilling, the Company does not plan on participating in any exploratory drilling on its fee mineral acres but rather plans to lease the acreage to a financially capable third party, retaining whatever royalty interest it could negotiate.

     In November 1998 the Company acquired 95% of the working interest in the 80 acre Claflin lease in Kern County, California in exchange for a royalty interest of the Company under another lease in Kern County, California. and 44,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at fifty cents per share. The Claflin lease included eight shallow producing wells and is located at the Southwest corner of the intersection of Breckenridge Highway and Comanche Road in Bakersfield. The wells on the lease were originally drilled in the 1960's and produced from the San Margarita Sand at depths from 800 to 900 feet. The Company's production facilities include two 1,000 barrel storage tanks, one 700 barrel storage tank and, as the oil produced is "heavy oil", related storage tank heating equipment needed to heat the oil at the time of delivery to the buyer's bulk tank truck carriers. The eight wells each include pump jacks and related equipment for producing the heavy oil. At the time of their acquisition in 1996 by the operator who sold the 95% working interest to the Company, none of the wells had produced for several years and it had to obtain a new lease. The operator reworked the wells and had the eight wells producing at the time of their sale to the Company. When the eight wells were producing, they produced an average of six to seven barrels of oil per day. Currently, only three wells are producing and the operator is in the process of performing workovers on the five non-producers, and expects them to be back producing shortly.

Texas

     The following properties are held in the name of the Company's wholly owned Texas subsidiary, Paladin Technology Corporation ("PTC").

     In August of 1999 PTC acquired a 580 acre lease on the D.D. Heinen Ranch which included twelve non-producing wells. The lease was acquired for $3,400 and the issuance of 9,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at 69.47 cents per share. This lease is located off Highway 97 in Atascosa County, Texas, approximately 7 miles East of Pleasanton, Texas. The wells on the lease were originally drilled to a depth of about 6,700 feet where they were completed and produced approximately 40 barrels of oil per day from the Buda formation. The wells were operated by Apache Corporation who was forced to sell the property when it encountered financial and other problems following a blowout on one of its leases in West Texas. Subsequent operators did not have the resources to maintain the lease and the wells were not kept in production and were subsequently stripped of all of their salvageable tubing, rods, pumps and other salable equipment. PTC has swabbed each of the wells and determined that oil is still present and can be economically produced upon re-equipping at least six of the wells. The Company believes that by first re-equipping the Heinen Well No. 7 it can be placed back in production and should produce approximately 12 barrels of oil per day. At this rate of production, the cost of re-equipping Heinen Well No. 7 should be recouped in approximately 18 months. The other wells on the lease have the same geological data and production capability and if the re-equipping of Heinen Well No 7 is deemed successful, the Company plans to proceed re-equipping additional wells. The Company believes that these wells provide an opportunity and have remaining undeveloped reserve potential. Horizontal wells have been successfully drilled in the vicinity of the Heinen lease and completed in the same Buda formation in which the wells on the Heinen lease were completed.

     In November 1997 PTC acquired 100% of the working interest in the Dominguez thirteen and one-half acre mineral lease in Atascosa County, Texas for 60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a deemed price of twenty-five cents per share, $5,000 cash and the assumption of the approximate $2,000 cost for replacing the electrical line to the well. The lease is located off Highway 173 approximately four miles West of Jourdanton, Texas. The well was drilled in 1984 and produced from the Navarro formation at a depth of approximately 3600 feet. Due to the economic conditions and administrative problems various operators ceased producing the well several times. The well was put back into production in early 1997 and was producing approximately one to one and one half barrels of oil per day. This well is not currently producing due to mechanical problems with the pump jack that PTC plans to have corrected shortly.

     In March 1999 the Company purchased 1,046 acres of mineral leases in the Fairfield Oil Field in Bexar County, Texas with 65 non-producing wells and a mobile oil production unit. The wells were drilled to depths of approximately 1,000 feet and produced from the Olmos formation. Based on an engineering study of the Fairfield Oil Field these leases still contain approximately 1,000,000 barrels of recoverable oil. The wells will have to be re-equipped and modern production procedures applied before any oil can be recovered.

Real Estate and Improvements

     PTC owns approximately one-half acre of land in Jourdanton, Texas. The half acre is comprised of seven contiguous lots with the corner lot located at 1305 Jiffy Blvd. in Jourdanton.
