FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including statements regarding, among
other items, (i) the Company's growth strategies, (ii) anticipated trends
in the Company's business and its future results of operation, (iii) market
conditions in the oil and gas industry, (iv) the ability of the Company to
make and integrate acquisitions and (v) the outcome of litigation and the
impact of governmental regulation. These forward-looking statements are
based largely on the Company's expectations and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control.
Actual results could differ materially from those implied by these forward-
looking statements as a result of, among other things, a decline in oil and
natural gas production, a decline in oil and natural gas prices, incorrect
estimations of required capital expenditures, increases in the cost of
drilling, completion and oil and gas gathering, an increase in the cost of
production and operations, an inability to meet growth projections, and/or
changes in general economic conditions. Actual results could materially
differ and could be adversely affected by the information set forth under
the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and "Business and Properties." In light of
these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that actual
results will be as projected in the forward-looking statements.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
---------------------------------
GENERAL
Winco Petroleum Corporation ("Winco" or "the Company"), is a Colorado
corporation organized on June 21, 1979. Winco was formed primarily for the
purpose of exploration, development, and production of oil and gas. The
Company investigates potential opportunities to develop, drill and/or
participate in the development of new oil and gas properties and/or acquire
producing oil and gas properties in the Mid-Continent region of the United
States. Its current activities include identifying and drilling between
one (1) to five (5) oil and gas properties a year on its own behalf or with
other industry partners.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Winco's objective is to increase reserves, production, cash flow,
earnings and net asset value per share. To accomplish this objective, the
Company intends to acquire and/or drill and complete, on its own behalf and
with other industry partners, from one (1) to five (5) oil and gas
prospects per year. Winco will identify and acquire or develop these
prospects each year with a view to taking advantage of industry advances in
seismic, drilling and other technologies as well as management's oil and
gas experience in Kansas and Oklahoma. Of the projected new prospects, one
(1) or two (2) may be intended as higher potential, higher risk prospects.
As indicated above, Winco intends to approach its prospects in a way that
will allow it to control its costs and risks. It is possible that
2
<PAGE>
significant expenditures required of the Company in connection with the
future exploration activities will require additional funding from outside
sources in the form of debt or equity. There can be no assurance such
funding is or will be available to the Company for this purpose.
OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 1999, Winco or affiliate entities act as operator
for almost all of Winco's producing wells. By operating its producing
properties, Winco believes it has greater control over its expenses and the
timing of exploration and development of such properties. Winco, directly
or through a designated affiliate, presently operates wells which represent
virtually 100% of Winco's proved reserves.
CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS
Winco has two major customers, ENRON Oil Trading and Transportation
and Cooperative Refining, LLC, which each purchased over 10% of the
Company's total oil and gas production for the years ended September 30,
1999 and 1998. Currently, the prices at which the Company sells its oil
and gas are set unilaterally by the individual buyers based upon prevailing
market prices paid to oil and gas producers in that area.
During fiscal 1999, Winco acquired 100% working interest and
operations of four oil leases, the Coady Hill, Holl, and Michel A all in
Russell County, Kansas and the Gage A in Barton County, Kansas. These
leases have a total of fourteen (14) producing oil wells and two salt water
disposal wells. This acquisition was consistent with Winco's policy and
strategies. Winco continues to be aware of and consider other oil and gas
properties which are available or may become available for purchase.
Winco's business is not seasonal in nature, except to the extent that
weather conditions at certain times of the year may affect Winco's access
to its oil and gas properties and its ability to drill oil and gas wells.
The impact of inflation on Winco's activities is minimal. While gas prices
have historically fluctuated between winter and summer seasons, changes in
the market during the last few years have made such fluctuations
unpredictable. For instance, because there are gas storage facilities
around the country which are filled during the summer, prices may be higher
during some spring or summer months than during some winter months if
temperatures are relatively warmer than usual.
COMPETITION
The Company competes with numerous other companies and individuals,
including many that have significantly greater resources, in virtually all
facets of its business. Such competitors may be able to pay more for
desirable leases and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of
properties than the financial or personnel resources of the Company permit.
The ability of the Company to increase reserves in the future will be
dependent on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing
properties and prospects for future exploration, development and
production. The availability of a market for oil and natural gas
production depends upon numerous factors beyond the control of producers,
including but not limited to the availability of other domestic or imported
3
<PAGE>
production, the locations and capacity of pipelines, and the effect of
federal and state regulation on such production. Domestic oil and natural
gas must compete with imported oil and natural gas, coal, atomic energy,
hydroelectric power and other forms of energy. The Company does not hold
a significant competitive position in the oil and gas industry.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
GENERAL
The Company's business is affected by numerous governmental laws and
regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other
laws and regulations relating to the energy industry. Changes in any of
these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to
current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to
the Company, the Company cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and
regulations on its future operations.
FEDERAL REGULATION OF THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY. The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates interstate transportation of
natural gas under the Natural Gas Act and regulates the maximum selling
prices of certain categories of gas sold in "first sales" in interstate and
intrastate commerce under the Natural Gas Policy Act. Effective January 1,
1993, the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act deregulated natural gas prices
for all "first sales" of natural gas, which includes sales by the Company
of its own production. As a result, all sales of the Company's natural gas
produced in the U.S. may be sold at market prices, unless otherwise
committed by contract.
The Company's gas sales are affected by regulation of intrastate and
interstate gas transportation. In an attempt to promote competition, the
FERC has issued a series of orders which have altered significantly the
marketing and transportation of natural gas. The Company believes that
these changes have generally improved access to transportation and have
enhanced the marketability of natural gas production. To date, the Company
has not experienced any material adverse effect on gas marketing as a
result of these FERC orders, however, subsequent to the afore-mentioned
sale of its Wyoming properties, the Company does not currently have any
natural gas production and the Company cannot predict what new regulations
may be adopted by the FERC and other regulatory authorities, or what effect
subsequent regulations may have on future gas marketing, if any.
The Company is also subject to laws and regulations concerning
occupational safety and health. It is not anticipated that the Company
will be required in the near future to expend amounts that are material in
the aggregate to the Company's overall operations by reason of occupational
safety and health laws and regulations. However, inasmuch as such laws and
regulations are frequently changed, the Company is unable to predict the
ultimate cost of compliance.
STATE REGULATION. The Company's operations are also subject to
regulation at the state level. Such regulation includes requiring permits
for the drilling of wells, maintaining bonding requirements in order to
drill or operate wells and regulating the location of wells, the method of
drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration or properties
upon which wells are drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and the
disposal of fluids used in connection with operations.
4
<PAGE>
The Company's operations are also subject to various conservation laws and
regulations. These include the size of drilling and spacing units or
proration units and the density of wells which may be drilled and the
unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties. In addition, state
conservation laws establish maximum rates of production from oil and gas
wells, generally prohibit the venting or flaring of gas and impose certain
requirements regarding the ratability of production. State regulation of
gathering facilities generally includes various safety, environmental, and
in some circumstances, nondiscriminatory take requirements, but does not
generally entail rate regulation. These regulatory burdens may affect
profitability, and the Company is unable to predict the future cost or
impact of complying with such regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Extensive federal, state and local laws
affecting oil and natural gas operations, including those carried on by the
Company, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise protect the environment. Numerous governmental agencies issue
rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws which are often
difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial penalties
for failure to comply. Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose "strict
liability" for environmental contamination, rendering a person liable for
environmental damages, cleanup costs and, in the case of oil spills in
certain states, consequential damages without regard to negligence or fault
on the part of such person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict
the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would
otherwise exist or even prohibit exploration or production activities in
environmentally sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require
some form of remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations,
such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of abandoned wells.
Legislation has been and continues to be proposed in Congress from time to
time that would reclassify certain exempt oil and gas exploration and
production wastes as "hazardous wastes." This reclassification would make
such wastes subject to more stringent handling, disposal and clean-up
requirements. If such legislation were to be enacted, it could have a
significant impact on the operating costs of the Company, as well as the
oil and gas industry in general. Initiatives to further regulate the
disposal of oil and gas wastes are also pending in certain states and may
include initiatives at county, municipal and local government levels.
These various initiatives could have a similar impact on the Company. The
regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases its cost of
doing business and consequently affects its profitability.
Compliance with these environmental requirements, including financial
assurance requirements and the costs associated with the cleanup of any
spill, could have a material adverse effect upon the capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with current
applicable environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance
with existing requirements will not have a material adverse impact on the
Company. Nevertheless, changes in environmental law have the potential to
adversely affect the Company's operations. For example, the U.S.
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), also known as the "superfund" law, imposes liability, without
regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes
of persons with respect to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the
environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the disposal
site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed or
arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substance found at the site.
Persons who are or were responsible for releases of hazardous substances
under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of
cleaning up the hazardous
5
<PAGE>
substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to
natural resources, and it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and
other third parties to file claims for personal injury or property damages
allegedly caused by the hazardous substance released into the environment.
Under CERCLA, certain oil and gas materials and products are, by
definition, excluded from the term "hazardous substances." At least two
federal courts have recently held that certain wastes associated with the
production of crude oil may be classified as hazardous substances under
CERCLA. Similarly, under the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery
Act ("RCRA") certain oil and gas materials and wastes are exempt from the
definition of "hazardous wastes." This exemption continues to be subject
to judicial interpretation and increasingly stringent state regulation.
During the normal course of its operations, the Company generates or has
generated in the past exempt and non-exempt wastes, including hazardous
wastes, that are subject to the RCRA and comparable state statutes. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and various state agencies
continue to promulgate regulations that limit the disposal and permitting
options for certain hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.
Although the Company maintains insurance against some, but not all, of
the risks described above, including insuring the costs of clean-up
operations, public liability and physical damage, there is no assurance
that such insurance will be adequate to cover all such costs, that such
insurance will continue to be available in the future or that such
insurance will be available at premium levels that justify its purchase.
The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified
against could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and operations.
TITLE TO PROPERTIES
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, only a preliminary title
examination is conducted at the time leases of properties believed to be
suitable for drilling operations are acquired by the Company. Prior to the
commencement of drilling operations, a thorough title examination of the
drill site tract is conducted by independent attorneys. Once production
from a given well is established, the Company prepares a division order
title report indicating the proper parties and percentages for payment of
production proceeds, including royalties. The Company believes that titles
to its leasehold properties are good and defensible in accordance with
standards generally acceptable in the oil and gas industry.
EMPLOYEES
At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company did not have any full-time
employees. Services on a part-time basis were provided by employees of
American Warrior, Inc., a company affiliated by common ownership of some of
Winco's common stock.
CERTAIN RISKS
UNCERTAINTY OF RESERVE INFORMATION AND FUTURE NET REVENUE ESTIMATES.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proved oil and natural gas reserves and their values, including many
factors beyond the Company's control. Estimates of proved developed
reserves, which comprise a significant portion of the Company's reserves
are by their nature uncertain. The reserve information set forth in this
Form 10-KSB represents estimates only.
6
<PAGE>
Although the Company believes such estimates to be reasonable, reserve
estimates are imprecise by nature and may materially change as additional
information becomes available.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, by necessity, are
projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are
uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the
projection of future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating
underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to
measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality
of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.
Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and
future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors
and assumptions, such as historical production from the areas compared with
production from other producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations
by governmental agencies and assumptions governing future oil and natural
gas prices, future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development
costs and work over and remedial costs, all of which may in fact vary
considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the
economically recoverable quantities of oil and natural gas attributable to
any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based
on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected
therefrom may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the
assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the
reserves. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to the
Company's reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may
be material.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION. The business of
exploring for and, to a lesser extent, of developing oil and gas properties
is an inherently speculative activity that involves a high degree of
business and financial risk. Property acquisition decisions generally are
based on various assumptions and subjective judgments that are speculative.
Although available geological and geophysical information can provide
information with respect to the potential of an oil or gas property, it is
impossible to predict accurately the ultimate production potential, if any,
of a particular property or well. Moreover, the successful completion of
an oil or gas well does not ensure a profit on the Company's investment
therein. A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, can
cause a well to become uneconomic or marginally economic.
OPERATING HAZARDS. The oil and natural gas business involves certain
operating hazards such as well blowouts, craterings, explosions,
uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, formations
with abnormal pressures, pipeline ruptures or spills, pollution, release of
toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks, any of which could
result in substantial losses to the Company. Federal and state regulation
of natural gas and oil production and transportation, tax and energy
policies, changes in supply and demand and general economic conditions all
could adversely affect the Company's ability to produce and market its oil
and natural gas. In addition, the Company may be liable for environmental
damage caused by previous owners of property purchased or leased by the
Company. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or
governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could reduce or
eliminate the funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions
and result in losses to the Company. In accordance with customary industry
practices, the Company maintains insurance against some, but no all, of
such risks and losses. The Company carries business interruption insurance
in varying amounts based upon the estimated time to cause the covered
facilities to become operational. The Company may elect to
7
<PAGE>
self-insure if management believes that the cost of insurance, although
available, is excessive relative to the risks presented. The occurrence of
an event that is not covered, or not fully covered, by insurance could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results
of operations. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally
are not fully insurable.
NO DIVIDENDS. The Company has never declared or paid any cash
dividends to the holders of Common Stock and has no present intention to
pay cash dividends to such holders in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
--------------------------------
OPERATIONS
The Company or affiliate entities is primarily responsible for
drilling, evaluation and production activities associated with various
properties and for negotiating the sales of oil and gas production from the
properties. As of September 30, 1999, the Company or its affiliates was
serving as operator for 17 producing wells owned by the Company. This
represents approximately 84% of the Company's proved reserves.
The Company believes that, as operator, it is in a better position to
control costs, safety, and timeliness of work as well as other critical
factors affecting the economics of a well or a property, including
maintaining good community relations.
OFFICES
Winco maintains its principal executive offices at 3118 Cummings,
Garden City, Kansas 67846, and its telephone number is (316) 275-2963. The
office space is owned by American Warrior, Inc. and no rent was charged or
paid during the fiscal years of 1999 and 1998. The Company will not be
required to pay any rent in the foreseeable future.
OIL AND GAS RESERVES
The table below sets forth the Company's quantities of proved
reserves, as estimated by independent petroleum engineers, McCartney
Engineering, all of which are located in the continental U.S., and the
present value of estimated future net revenues from these reserves on a
non-escalated basis discounted at 10 percent per year for the period
indicated. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and are subject to
revisions based on production history, results of additional exploration
and development, prices of oil and gas and other factors outside the
Company's control.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 VS. SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
----------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income for the year ended September 30, 1999
totaling $11,399 compared to net income of $8,453 at September 30, 1998.
Operations reflected a small gain after depreciation and depletion, in
spite of lower than average oil prices. The wells acquired in 1998 and
1999 operate more efficiently than those in Wyoming which the Company sold
as of January 1, 1998. Lower operating costs and an improvement in oil
prices in the last quarter contributed to a small improvement in net income.
REVENUES
Oil and gas sales for the year ended September 30, 1999 totaled
$142,448 compared to revenues of $109,109 for the year ended September 30,
1998. Oil production increased from 13,628 barrels to 15,427 barrels, a
net increase of 1,799 barrels or 13.20%. These changes in revenue and
fluctuation in production resulted primarily from the purchase of
additional oil properties and the sale of the five Wyoming properties,
which produced oil and gas. During a period of significantly lower than
normal oil prices, the Company elected to sell only oil production in
excess of storage capacity on the leases and to shut-in some of the
properties until prices recovered. As of September 30, 1999, all of the
Company's leases were producing oil, though five wells remained shut-in
on leases where at least one other well was producing.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Oil and gas production costs for the year ended September 30, 1999
totaled $90,630, an 8.64% (or $8,576) decrease from the costs of $99,206
for the year ended September 30, 1998. The decreased costs were primarily
a result of restricted operations during the year.
General and administrative expenses totaled $23,423 at September 30,
1999, compared to $33,338 at September 30, 1998, a total decrease of
29.74%. This decrease was due to reductions of costs as a result of
limiting activity while oil prices were depressed.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization costs for the year ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $26,089, a decrease of $37,626 (or 59.05%) from
the costs of $63,715 for the year ended September 30, 1998. This decrease
resulted from higher costs amortized in 1998 due to the units
12
<PAGE>
of production calculation for cost depletion and an additional charge due
to the "capitalization ceiling" determined by the Company's reserve study.
Exploration costs and dry hole costs were not incurred during fiscal
years September 30, 1999 and 1998.
OTHER INCOME (LOSS)
Other income (loss) for the year ended September 30, 1999, was $9,093,
a decrease of $86,510 from the year ended September 30, 1998 amount of
$95,603, primarily due to the gain on sale included in 1998. Other income
not specified on the income statement includes a recovery and sale of
equipment for $2,000 in 1999 and an adjustment for disposition of equipment
inventory of $(21,296) in 1998. These items were considered unusual and
not anticipated to be recurring.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the year ended September 30, 1999, the Company's working
capital decreased from $345,492 at September 30, 1998 to $312,488 at
September 30, 1999. The decrease of $33,004 was primarily the result of
working capital used to acquire additional oil properties.
The Company anticipates revenues from operations of its wells to be
sufficient for its working capital needs. Substantially all of the cash
balances held by the Company are available for the acquisition of
additional oil and gas producing properties. The Company anticipates that
there will continue to be opportunities to acquire producing properties as
many operators were affected by an extended period of low oil prices. Even
though oil prices have substantially improved from their lowest levels,
many such operators find that they do not have sufficient resources to
invest to bring all of their properties back to the levels of production of
which they are capable.

(1) Calculated pursuant to Rule 13-d-3(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Unless otherwise stated below, each such person has
sole voting and investment power with respect to all such shares.
Under Rule 13d-3(d), shares not outstanding which are subject to
options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable
within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of
calculating the number and percentage owned by such person, but
are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the
percentage owned by each other person listed.
(2) Cecil O'Brate is the President, a director and the majority
shareholder of American Warrior, Inc. and Mid-Continent
Resources, Inc. and therefore may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of the shares owned by them.

and Officer of American Warrior, Inc.
(4) As of September 30, 1999, the Company has purchased 1,301,485
shares or 3.19% of its common stock which is now held in
Treasury. If such stock was not considered outstanding, the
beneficial ownership calculated for Cecil O'Brate, Mid-Continent
Resources, Inc., Betty Lee Winkler and American Warrior, Inc.
would be 44.63%, 2.10%, 17.69% and 44.65%, respectively.
(c) CHANGES IN CONTROL
No understandings, arrangements or agreements are known by management
at this time which would result in a change in control of the Company.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------
(a)(b) TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS
The Company's Board of Directors and its officers are subject to
certain provisions of Colorado law which are designed to eliminate or
minimize the effects of certain potential conflicts of interest. In
addition, the Board of Directors has adopted a policy that provides that
any transaction between the Company and an interested party must be fully
disclosed to the Board of Directors, and that a majority of the directors
not otherwise interested in the transaction (including a majority of
disinterested directors) must make a determination that such transaction is
fair, competitive, commercially reasonable and on terms and conditions not
less favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated third
parties.
American Warrior, Inc. ("AWI") is an oil and gas company wholly-owned
by Cecil O'Brate, President and a Director of the Company. Further, Daniel
Dalke, Secretary-Treasurer of the Company is employed by AWI. AWI owns
41.19% of the Company and provides various services on behalf of the
Company. AWI operates most of the wells owned by the Company, for which
AWI receives an operator's charge that is commensurate with charges by
other operators in the same areas. AWI also provides on behalf of the
Company office space, for which no rent is charged or paid, and personnel
services, for which only nominal payment is made.
Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. ("MCR") also operates a well on behalf
of the Company. MCR is 50% owned by AWI and Cecil O'Brate and Daniel Dalke
serve in the same offices and capacity for MCR as AWI.
(c) PARENTS OF WINCO
None.
(d) TRANSACTIONS WITH PROMOTERS
Information required by Item 404 of Regulation S-B is not required to
be presented inasmuch as the Company has been organized for more than five
years.
(e) COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF
1934, AS AMENDED
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's Directors and Officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders
are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on the Company's view of the copies of such forms
received by it during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, and written
representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes
that each person who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director,
officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock
complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year
or prior fiscal year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
Board of Directors and Stockholders
WINCO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Winco Petroleum
Corporation as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements
of operations, 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 audits.
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 Winco Petroleum
Corporation as of September 30, 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.
As discussed in Note 6, the Company has revised its unaudited oil and
gas reserve information. Additionally, other changes have been made to
clarify certain notes to the financial statements.

WINCO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS - Winco Petroleum Corporation (the Company),
incorporated on June 21, 1979, is engaged in the business of acquiring
and developing interests in domestic oil and gas properties, primarily
in Kansas and southeastern Wyoming.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to
be cash equivalents.
The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At
times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The
Company has not experienced losses in any such accounts and believes
it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES - The Company follows the "full-cost" method of
accounting for developed oil and gas properties. Under this method,
all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and
development activities are capitalized in one cost center, including
internal costs that can be identified with those activities. For the
years 1999 and 1998, there were no internal costs of exploration and
development incurred. No gains or losses are recognized on the sale
or abandonment of oil and gas properties, unless it involves the
disposition of significant reserves in which case the gain or loss
is recognized in income.
The Company's producing oil and gas properties are accounted for
at cost, in a discreet pool applicable to such properties, within
the Company's single, full-cost center. The Company has not incurred
any development costs in 1999 and 1998. Production costs, including
workover costs, incurred to maintain or increase levels of production
are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of the full-cost center are
computed using a unit of production method based on proved reserves as
determined annually by the Company and independent engineers.
Consideration is given to anticipated costs of abandonment; however,
the Company has determined on the basis of past history and experience
that such costs are offset by the recoverable value of salvaged
equipment. An additional depletion, depreciation, and amortization
provision is made if the total capitalized costs of oil and gas
properties in the cost center exceed the "capitalization ceiling."
After such a provision, the capitalized cost of oil and gas properties
does not exceed the sum of: (1) the present value of future net
revenues from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves
applicable to such cost center, (2) the cost of properties not being
amortized, if any, (3) the carrying value of the cost center's
unproved properties, if any, and (4) the income tax effects, if any,
related to differences between book and tax basis of properties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
At September 30,1998, the total capitalized cost of oil and gas
properties exceeded the capitalization ceiling. Additional depletion,
depreciation, and amortization was recorded in the amount of $37,141
to reduce the net capitalized cost to an amount equal to the
capitalization ceiling. At September 30, 1999, the total capitalized
cost of oil and gas properties did not exceed the capitalization
ceiling and, thus, no additional depletion, depreciation, and
amortization provision was recorded for fiscal 1999.
Based on independent engineers' estimates, the provision for
depreciation, depletion, and amortization on a per equivalent barrel
basis was approximately $.24 and $.93 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company has had very little gas production (less than 1% of total
sales), particularly since the sale of the Wyoming properties as of
January 1, 1998, and has determined that no significant gas imbalances
have been incurred either for or against the Company's account. Based
on production levels and revenues received from those interests in gas
properties the Company owns or has owned, no significant imbalances
have resulted.
FURNITURE, FIXTURES, AND VEHICLES - Furniture, fixtures, and vehicles
are depreciated using accelerated methods over estimated useful lives
ranging from three to seven years.
INCOME TAXES - The Company provides deferred income taxes for
intangible drilling and developmental costs and other costs incurred
that enter into the determination of taxable income and accounting
income in different periods when applicable. The excess of statutory
depletion over cost depletion for income tax purposes will be
recognized as a permanent difference in the period in which the excess
occurs.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future
tax consequences of events that have previously been recognized in the
Company's financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of
deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted
tax laws. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates have not
been anticipated.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Earnings per common share is computed
utilizing the weighted average number (41,152,606 in 1999 and 1998) of
common shares outstanding.

2. OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
Oil produced from the Company's wells is sold to major purchasers (e.g.
EOTT, Cooperative Refining and Equiva, or Texaco). Proceeds from such
sales are paid by the purchaser to the operators of the respective
properties as agents on behalf of the Company. The operators offset
the costs of operation for the respective properties and distribute to
the Company the net remaining revenues attributable to its interest.
The operators for most of the Company's properties are American
Warrior, Inc. and Mid-Continent Resources, Inc., which are affiliated
with the Company by common ownership and management.
PROPERTIES ACQUIRED
On April 14, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the working interest
and operations of four oil leases in Kansas for $73,916. These leases
have 14 producing oil wells that are expected to contribute to the
Company's cash flow and net income in the subsequent fiscal year.
PROPERTIES DISPOSED OF
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company sold its remaining oil and gas
production in Wyoming, except the Madsen 12-9 lease, for approximately
$210,000. The Madsen 12-9 is operated on behalf of the Company by an
unrelated oil and gas operator located in Wyoming, who owns a partial
interest in that lease. This sale will enable the Company to reinvest
those resources in the mid-continent area, probably Kansas, where the
Company's operations will be more concentrated. The seven leases
sold, including two non-producers, contributed about 32% of the
Company's oil and gas sales in fiscal 1997. The reinvestment of the
proceeds of this sale is intended to be in oil and gas leases, whether
operated by the Company or by others, which management believes will
have more development potential. As the properties sold represented
almost all of the Company's Wyoming cost pool within the Company's
single full-cost center, the Company recognized the sale by removing
all associated costs, accumulated depreciation, depletion and
amortization, and other capitalized amounts. Due to previous sales
and credits not recognized under the full-cost method, the removal of
such capitalized items resulted in a net credit of $106,245 reflected
as an additional gain in other income.

3. RELATED PARTIES
As of September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no employees.
Administrative and operations management services are provided to the
Company by American Warrior, Inc. (AWI), an oil and gas operating
company affiliated with the Company. AWI owns 41.52% of the Company.
Further, the majority stockholder and CEO of AWI is the CEO and
President of the Company, and the Assistant Secretary-Treasurer of AWI
is the Company's Secretary and Treasurer. The following services were
provided to the Company for the amounts indicated and were recorded as
additional paid-in capital:
1999 1998
--------------- ---------------
Service Hours Amount Hours Amount
---------------- ----- ------ ----- ------
Administration 20 $ 2,000 25 $ 2,500
Accounting 40 2,400 75 4,500
-------- -------
$ 4,400 $ 7,000
======== ========
Management believes the method of allocating these administrative and
accounting costs to the Company are reasonable and would approximate
the costs if operated as an unaffiliated entity. Additionally, the
Company occupies a partial room in the offices of AWI and does not
pay rent or other occupancy costs. Because of the insignificance
of these amounts, occupancy costs are not reflected in these financial
statements.
In addition to the above contributed services, in 1998, AWI was paid
$3,350 in cash for similar services. Further, at September 30, 1999
and 1998, the Company had amounts receivable from this affiliate for
oil sales not yet distributed (revenues received by the operators on
behalf of the Company, but not yet remitted to the Company) in the
amounts of $48,970 and $19,134, respectively, and amounts payable to
this affiliate for the purchase of a working interest in an oil and
gas property and for operating expenses in the amounts of $35,447 and
$15,828, respectively. The Company owns undivided working interests
in oil and gas properties; it has not historically been the operator
of such properties, instead relying on other operators. As of
September 30, 1999, most of the Company's oil and gas production is
operated by AWI or affiliates of AWI (the Operating Affiliates).
Accordingly, the Company executes customary transactions with its
Operating Affiliates, as appropriate, relative to certain oil and gas
sales, most operating expenses, and some general and administrative
expenses.

During the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company
recorded a valuation allowance of $333,400 and $326,500, respectively,
on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total to an amount management
believes will ultimately be realized. Realization of deferred tax
assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the
period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are
expected to be available to reduce taxable income.

5. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Company's future production revenues, development costs, and
production expenses are dependent on economic and operating
conditions, such as pricing and production taxes, which can be
volatile, and are not within the Company's control. For example, at
November 30, 1999, the price of crude oil generally received by the
Company was approximately $21.99 per Bbl. versus $21.50 at
September 30, 1999. As of September 30, 1998, one of the Company's
producing properties was shut-in as the currently low oil prices would
not cover the cost of operations.

6. UNAUDITED OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION
Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company revised reserve estimates
using crude oil prices as of year-end.
The reserve estimates presented as of September 30, 1999 and 1998 were
prepared by independent petroleum consultants. Management cautions
that there are many uncertainties inherent in estimating proved
reserve quantities and in projecting future production rates and the
timing of development expenditures. In addition, reserve estimates of
new discoveries that have little production history are more imprecise
than those of properties with more production history. Accordingly,
these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes
available.
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
condensate, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be
recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing
economic and operating conditions.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are those reserves expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods.
Net quantities of proved reserves and proved developed reserves of
crude oil (including condensate) and natural gas (all of which are
located within the United States) are as follows:

The following table sets forth a standardized measure of the
discounted future net cash flows attributable to the Company's proved
oil and gas reserves. Future cash inflows were computed by applying
year-end prices of oil and gas to the estimated future production of
proved oil and gas reserves. The future production and development
costs represent the estimated future expenditures (based on current
costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves,
assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income
tax expenses were computed by applying statutory income tax rates to
the difference between pre-tax net cash flows relating to the
Company's proved oil and gas reserves and the tax basis of proved oil
and gas properties and available net operating loss carryforwards,
reduced by investment tax credits. Discounting the annual net cash
inflows at 10% illustrates the impact of the time value of money on
these future cash inflows.
