PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DEFINITIONS
"Authority to Prospect" ("ATP") - a concession granted by the state of
Queensland, Australia, which entitles its holder to an exclusive right to
explore for oil and natural gas in the particular area covered by the ATP. See
Foreign Properties of Part I, Item 2 for more information.
"Carried Working Interest" - a WI assigned to a third party (or third parties)
who has agreed to pay all costs of drilling, completing, equipping and operating
the underlying lease(s) until they have recouped all of their costs or some
other contractual amount from the revenues of the lease(s). At the time these
costs are recouped (payout) the interests or a portion thereof is reassigned
back to the original owner who then shares pro rata in the ongoing costs and
revenues as a regular WI.
"Gravity" is a measure of the density of an oil. As defined in the petroleum
industry, a higher gravity corresponds to a lower density. Gravities of crude
oils range from about 12 degrees (heavy oil) to 60 degrees (distillate or
gasoline-like oil). Lower gravity oils are generally worth less, and they may
require unconventional technology to produce.
"Gross production" as used herein is defined as the total production of oil,
gas, or natural gas liquids from a property or group of properties, for any
specified period of time.
Initial Potential ("IP") is a test performed before any significant production
from a well is marketed. An oil well potential is an indication of the maximum
rate at which a well can produce. Usually, wells produce at lower rates than
their potentials. Reasons for lower rates can involve natural decline,
government regulations, difficulties with operations or infrastructure, and
reservoir management considerations.
The term "overriding royalty" as used herein is defined as an interest carved
out of the lessee's leasehold or working interest. The amounts payable from
overriding royalties referred to in this Form 10-KSB are payments calculated as
a percentage of either gross production or gross revenue from a concession or
lease, free and clear of all costs, except taxes.
The term "payout" is generally defined as a time when the total investment or
acquisition cost has been recaptured from revenues produced from the oil and gas
lease.
The term "royalty" is generally defined as a share of the production reserved by
the grantor of an oil or gas lease or concession. Customarily, the royalty
interest is free of cost or expense incident to exploration, development, or
production, except for production or gathering taxes. The royalty is a part of
the consideration for the grant of the lease or Authority to Prospect.
"Spudded in" means that drilling on an oil or gas well has commenced.
The term "working interest" ("WI") as used herein means all or a fractional part
of the ownership rights granted by a concession or lease. The owner(s) of a WI
or a part thereof, pays the costs of operations
2
<PAGE> 3
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
and is entitled to the gross production, less royalties retained by the grantor
or lessor and less other royalties or non-operating interests created and
assigned from the working interest and less applicable taxes. The owner of WI
may incur operating expenses in excess of income.

</TABLE>
(a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Black Giant Oil Company (the Company) was organized on July 23, 1973 as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada, for the general purpose of
engaging in exploration for oil and gas. More recently, the Company has shifted
its activities to acquiring working interests, royalties, and overriding
royalties in oil and gas properties within the United States and in foreign
countries.
During its fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the Company was not involved in any
bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding and underwent no material
reclassification, merger, or consolidation. The Company does not anticipate
involvement or participation in any of the above proceedings.
In August 1997 a group of stockholders met and decided to make an attempt to
revive the Company and initiated a funding campaign. The Company successfully
raised $95,000 through the issuance of 4,750,000 shares of common stock. On
September 22, 1997 the Company entered into a convertible debt agreement for
$100,000.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 the Company was involved in drilling
wells, acquiring producing and non-producing leases, and completing wells.
Declining oil prices caused most of the leases acquired to become either
marginal or non-economic.
(b) BUSINESS OF ISSUER
The Company was seeking working capital during the years 1985 through 1990 to
continue it operations; however, the collapse of the oil industry in 1986/87 led
to unsuccessful funding programs for the Company. The lack of working capital
eventually led the Company to become relatively inactive. During the years of
limited activities, various opportunities were presented to the management to
revive the Company. Each opportunity was either not favorable to the Company or
was not able to close due to lack of financial commitment or strength by the
various interested parties.
Funding from a private placement offering allowed the Company to reenter the oil
and gas business in September, 1997. Unfortunately, most of the leases acquired
became non-economic when oil prices fell to $8.00 per barrel. Merger partners
were being sought during the period of
3
<PAGE> 4
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
low oil prices. Several proposals were reviewed, some of which are being
evaluated. As of March 31, 1999, no merger agreement was in place.
COMPETITION AND MARKETS
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all of its phases, with
competition for favorable prospects being particularly intense. The Company
believes that price, geological and geophysical skill, and familiarity with an
area of operations are the primary competitive factors in the acquisition of
desirable leases and suitable prospects for oil and gas drilling operations. The
Company competes with independent operators and occasionally major oil
companies, a number of which have substantially greater technical and financial
resources than the Company.
States and countries and other jurisdictions in which the Company plans to have
operations, regulate the exploration, development, production and prices on the
sale of oil and gas. The Federal Power Commission regulates the sale of natural
gas production sold in interstate commerce and the U.S. Government regulates the
price on oil. Markets for, and value of, oil and gas discovered are dependent on
such factors as regulation, including well spacing and production allowables,
import quotes, competitive fuels, and proximity of pipelines and price-fixing by
governments, all of which are beyond the control of the Company.
On March 31, 1999, 40 degree oil (good gravity crude) was selling for
approximately $14.00 per barrel, compared to a March 31, 1998 figure of $13.25
per barrel. However, prices dipped to well below $10.00 per barrel during the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1999. Prices also vary according to gravity.
FOREIGN TAXES AND UNITED STATES TAX CREDITS
The Company currently does not have any operations outside of the United States;
however, the new management subsequent to March 31, 1999, may elect to work on
international projects. In the event operations abroad are established, then the
Company will be subject to the imposition of taxes by foreign governments upon
the Company's income derived from the respective foreign jurisdictions. Such
taxes are of various types, with differing tax rates, and are subject to
changes. Generally, the Company's income from a foreign jurisdiction will be
taxed in the same manner as that for other companies operating in the
jurisdiction, but discriminatory taxation by a particular jurisdiction may
occur.
The Company's income is also subject to taxation under the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Code provides that a
taxpayer may obtain a tax credit for certain taxes paid to a foreign country or
may take a deduction for such taxes. A tax credit is generally more favorable
than a deduction. The tax credit applicable to particular foreign income
generally arises when such income is included in the Company's taxable income
under the provisions of the Code. There are, however, substantial restrictions
and limitations on the amount of the tax credit that can actually be claimed.
OTHER REGULATIONS
Oil and gas operations are and will be subject to federal, state and local laws
and regulations and by political developments. The domestic production and sale
of oil and gas are subject to federal
4
<PAGE> 5
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
regulation by the Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulation
Commission. Rates of production of oil and gas have for many years been subject
to federal and state conservation laws and regulations. In addition, oil and gas
operations are subject to extensive federal and state regulations concerning
exploration, development, production, transportation and pricing, and to
interruption or termination by governmental authorities.
In foreign countries, the Company may be subject to governmental restrictions on
production, pricing and export controls. Furthermore regulations existing or
imposed upon the Company at the time of its acquisition of properties may change
to an unpredictable extent. The Company will have little or no control over the
change of regulations or imposition of new regulations and restrictions by
foreign governments, ex-appropriation or nationalization by foreign governments
or the imposition of additional foreign taxes and partial foreign ownership
requirements.
PERSONNEL
The business of the Company has been carried on by Ivan Webb, President, and
Elizabeth Webb, Secretary/Treasurer from April 1, 1987, to the present. Ivan and
Elizabeth Webb have devoted such time as has been necessary to carry on the
Company's business. The Company has no bonus, pension, or profit sharing plans.
During the month of September 1997 one part time employee was hired to assist in
the operations of the Company.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The following is a description of each of the properties owned by the Company as
of March 31, 1999:
MOBIL FEE #4 - Black Giant took a 1% working interest in the drilling
of a major structure in Duval County, Texas. This well was drilled to a
total depth of 14,200 and encountered a very prolific gas formation -
14,092 - 14,135 feet. The porosity ranges from 15 to 25% over the zone.
The well is now on line and is producing approximately 3,500,000 cubic
feet per day which yields to Black Giant's interests approximately $500
per month in net revenues.
THREE PRODUCING LEASES - The Company entered into a Letter Agreement
for the purchase of 10% working interest in three oil and gas leases
located in Nowata and Creek Counties of Oklahoma for 450,000 shares of
common stock. These leases have a total of 18 producing wells with
additional wells to be reworked, plus each lease has its own saltwater
disposal wells. These leases have been operating at a loss due to low
oil prices.
FOUR NON-PRODUCING LEASES - On September 30, 1997 the Company entered
into a Letter Agreement for the purchase of 50% working interest in
four non-producing oil and gas leases in Oklahoma for development
either through drilling programs or farm outs retaining a carried
interest. The Company agreed to issue 750,000 shares for these leases.
Drilling is planned on these properties over the next 1 to 2 years. It
is planned for Black Giant to recover its cost and keep a carried
interest in each lease as it is drilled.

<PAGE> 6
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
WOOLDRIDGE LEASES - On October 15, 1997 the Company entered into an
agreement to acquire 90% of the working interest in two leases located
in Shackelford County, Texas, for $21,000. These two leases have a
total of 11 wells plus 5 saltwater injection wells. These wells are
producing approximately 2.5 barrels per day and are expected to
increase to 6 barrels per day when changes are implemented in the
production operations.
TROELL LEASES - On October 17, 1997 the Company entered into an
agreement to acquire 50% working interest in an oil and gas lease in
Atascosa County, Texas for $58,000 in cash plus 136,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Only two of the wells had been reworked before
oil prices fell. This lease was expected to be put into production
during the second or third quarter of 1998; however, the decline of oil
prices during this period caused operational funding to be withdrawn.
Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the Company continues to evaluate both
the opportunities for funding the operations or selling the interests.
SPIRES LEASE - On October 20, 1997 the Company entered into an
agreement to acquire 40% working interest in an oil and gas wells in
Nolan County, Texas for $15,000 plus 250,000 shares of common stock and
the settlement of certain account payables related to the lease. The
production is expected to average 15-20 barrels per day and was
expected to be put on line during the first part of 1998. However, the
decline of oil prices during this period caused operational funding to
be withdrawn. Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the Company continues to
evaluate both the opportunities for funding the operations or selling
the interests.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of March 31, 1999, there were no legal proceedings to which the Company was a

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL DISCUSSION:
Following the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 1987, the Company continued
to have difficulty in raising working and operating capital. The environment for
energy deals was very tough as oil prices continued to fall to $9.50 per barrel.
The oil and gas revenues had fallen to less than $25,000 per year which was less
than half of the previous year's revenues. The Company had liabilities of
approximately $143,000 which led the Company to sell the majority of its assets,
primarily its oil and gas production, to reduce debt. The Company gradually
became less active and had limited operations following 1991. The Company made
presentations a number of times each year to prospective merger candidates. Each
of these attempts never materialized either due to financing problems or lack of
working capital to made the merger successful.
Subsequent to March 31, 1997, a group of concerned shareholders met in August,
1997, to discuss the Company's future and outlined a plan to expand the
Company's business. The plan
7
<PAGE> 8
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
was to sell private placements of the Company's common stock to raise operating
capital to pay for the expense for the Company to become current in its filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other government agencies. The
private placement offering price per share was $0.02. The Company successfully
raised $95,000 from the private placement program offered September through
November, 1997.
ASSETS & LIABILITIES:
The Company's assets as of March 31, 1997 were $2,156 representing only a small
Canadian royalty interest and $327 in cash. As previously stated most of the
assets of the Company were sold to reduce debt.
The principal assets of the Company were considered to be its shareholder base,
approximately 1,900, and the fact that it had only $13,067 in total debt. This,
in the opinion of management, was valuable and was worth keeping alive until a
plan of action could be implemented to cause the Company to be revived.
The assets of the Company for March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 have remained fairly
constant except for March 31, 1996 when the cash balance was higher due to an
attempt to merge with a Dallas based company.
The liabilities have gradually declined from $24,477 on March 31, 1995 to
$13,067 for March 31, 1997. These liabilities were paid from revenues received
from the Canadian royalty. These debts are principally due to accounts payable
for accounting and legal services. On September 22, 1997, the Company entered
into a Debt Agreement with the Wolas Family for $100,000. The terms of the Debt
Agreement are 10% interest payable in stock on a quarterly basis (125,000 shares
per quarter - based on 2 cents per share). The debt can be paid in full or be
convertible to equity, based on 2 cents per share (5,000,000 shares - on the
22nd of September, 2000 at the election of the Wolas Family). The Wolas Family
also have a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $25,000 on
or before the 22nd of September 2002, being $0.025 per share. See Note 2 of the
Financial Statements.
During the year ending March 31, 1998 the Company began acquiring oil and gas
properties with the intention of developing the properties as an oil and gas
producer. The drop in oil prices during 1998 and continuing into 1999 caused the
Company to discontinue those operations. Therefore, these operations are
reported as net assets of discontinued operations on the Company's balance
sheet. The Company's assets as of March 31, 1998 were $144,722 and liabilities
were $15,795 plus a convertible debt of $100,010 compared to March 31, 1999
which had assets of $162,712 and liabilities of $32,185 plus the convertible
debt of $100,010. The Company intends to distribute these net assets to a newly
formed subsidiary and spin-off the subsidiary's shares to the Company's
shareholders in the near future. The Company has had nominal revenues from oil
and gas activities. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1 and Note 6.
INCOME AND EXPENSES:
The Company's oil and gas income and expenses for March 31, 1998 and 1999 earned
during these years were presented as discontinued operations. See Note 6 to the
Financial Statements.

<PAGE> 9
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
The general administrative expenses for the operations of 1998 and 1999 were
$45,970 and $36,640 respectively. These expenses were primarily attributable to
the cost of office overhead, shareholder mailings, legal and accounting.
NET INCOME:
For the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 the Company reported a loss from
discontinued operations of $81,618 and $37,092 respectively.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Where this Form 10-KSB includes "forward-looking" statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act, the Company desires to take advantage of
the "safe harbor" provisions thereof. Therefore, the Company is including this
statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protections of such
safe harbor provisions with respect to all of such forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-KSB reflect the Company's current
views with respect to future events and financial performance. These
forward-looking statements
9
<PAGE> 10
Black Giant Oil Company SEC Form 10-KSB March 31, 1999
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ from those anticipated. In this Form 10-KSB, the words "anticipates,"
"believes, "expects," "intends," "future" and similar expressions identify
forward- looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that
may arise after the date hereof. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.
YEAR 2000:
The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The "Year
2000" problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Any programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations. The Company believes that all of its software and equipment are
"Year 2000" compliant and that this problem will have no affect on the Company's
internal operations. Should companies with which the Company does business
suffer significant problems within their systems, an adverse impact could be
incurred by the Company. However, the Company has no way of anticipating or
controlling such failure on the part of its customers.

shall be as favorable to the Company as those which could be obtained from an
unrelated party in an arm's length transaction.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Black Giant Oil Company
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Black Giant Oil Company as of
March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years 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.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Black Giant Oil Company as of
March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses and its working
capital deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
Black Giant Oil Company was incorporated in Nevada on July 23, 1973, for
the general purpose of engaging in exploration for oil and gas. More
recently, the Company has shifted its activities to acquiring working
interest, royalties, and overriding royalties in oil and gas properties
within the United States and in foreign countries.
During the year ended March 31, 1998, the Company began acquiring oil and
gas properties with the intention of developing the properties and becoming
an oil and gas producer. However, with the drop in oil prices during the
period, the Company has decided to discontinue those operations.
Accordingly, the oil and gas operations are reported as discontinued in the
accompanying statement of operations and the net oil and gas assets are
reported in the accompanying balance sheet as net assets of discontinued
operations (see Note 8). The Company intends to distribute these net assets
to a newly formed subsidiary and spin-off the subsidiary's shares to the
Company's shareholders in the near future. The Company has had nominal
revenues from oil and gas activities.
The Company is currently considered a "public shell" corporation with
nominal business operations and is in the process of searching for an
operating business with which to negotiate a "reverse merger."
Basis of Presentation
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it
is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has suffered continuing net losses from operations and has a
deficit in working capital as of March 31, 1999. As explained above,
without a merger partner, the Company has nominal operations. The Company
is dependant on a merger partner or raising additional funds in order to
provide capital for the Company to continue as a going concern.

BLACK GIANT OIL COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Common Share
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128").
SFAS 128 provides a different method of calculating earnings per share than
was formerly used in APB Opinion 15. SFAS 128 provides for the calculation
of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes
no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. The Company
was required to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of calendar 1997.
Because the Company has no potential dilutive securities, the accompanying
presentation is only of basic loss per share.
Statement of Cash Flows
For statement of cash flow purposes, the Company considers short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 utilizes the asset and liability method of computing
deferred income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is
to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such amounts are realized or settled. Under SFAS 109, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

2. CONVERTIBLE DEBT AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has issued convertible debt to a shareholder with an original
date of September 22, 1997, and matures September 22, 2000. Interest is at
10% payable quarterly. The debt is convertible to equity at $.02 per share.
For the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company has issued common
stock at $.02 per share as payment for interest. The shareholder also holds
a warrant to acquire 1,000,000 shares at $.025 per share. The warrant
expires in September 2002.
During the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's president has
advanced certain funds interest free to the Company. As of March 31 1999
and 1998, the Company owed $13,325 and $9,000, respectively as a result of
these transactions.
3. STOCK ISSUED FOR SERVICES
During 1999 and 1998, the Company issued common stock to certain related
parties, valued at estimated fair market value, for services performed on
behalf of the Company. The shares issued and value of those shares are as
follows for the years ended March 31:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Shares Issued Value
------------- -----
<S> <C> <C>
1999 100,000 $8,642
1998 225,000 1,125
</TABLE>
4. INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
totaling approximately $698,500 available to reduce future taxable income
through the year 2014. Due to changes in control of the Company, these
carryforwards are limited on an annual basis.
The Company has deferred tax assets amounting to approximately $237,000 and
$225,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, related to the net
operating loss carryforwards. The realization of the benefits from these
deferred tax assets appears uncertain due to going concern questions.
Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded which offsets the
deferred tax assets at the end of each period.

BLACK GIANT OIL COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company invests its cash and certificates of deposit primarily in
deposits with major banks. The Company has not incurred losses related to
its cash.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or
liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and
convertible debt approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturity
of the instruments.
Uncertainty Due to the Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits
rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize
the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when
information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar
problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to
represent something other than a date. The effects of the Year 2000 issue
may be experienced before, on, or after January 1, 2000 and, if not
addressed, the impact on operations and financial reporting may range from
minor errors to significant systems failure which could impact the
Company's ability to conduct normal business operations. It is not possible
to be certain that all aspects of the Year 2000 issue affecting the Company
will be fully resolved.

SFAS 129
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure ("SFAS 129"), effective for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure. SFAS 129 requires
disclosure of the pertinent rights and privileges of various securities
outstanding (stock, options, warrants, preferred stock, debt and
participating rights) including dividend and liquidation preferences,
participant rights, call prices and dates, conversion or exercise prices
and redemption requirements. Adoption of SFAS 129 has had no effect on the
Company as it currently discloses the information specified.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SFAS 130
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two new
disclosure standards. Results of operations and financial position are
unaffected by implementation of these new standar Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income",
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income,
its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined
to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments
by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in
a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.
SFAS 131
SFAS 131, "Disclosure about Segments of a Business Enterprise",
establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in
interim financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes
standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic
areas and major customers. SFAS 131 defines operating segments as
components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision
maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
This accounting pronouncement has had no effect on the Company's
financial statements for the periods presented.
SFAS 132
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 132, "Employers'
Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," revises
standards for disclosures regarding pensions and other postretirement
benefits. It also requires additional information on changes in the
benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate
financial analysis. This statement does not change the measurement or
recognition of the pension and other postretirement plans. The financial
statements are unaffected by implementation of this new standard.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SFAS 133
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred
to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as
(a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized
asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the
exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a
hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign
