CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION FOR
THE PURPOSE OF "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements
relating to Power Exploration Inc.'s ("Power" or "the Company") operations that
are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about
the petroleum and chemicals industries. Words such as "expects," "intends,"
"plans," "projects," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions are used to
identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that
are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are crude
oil and natural gas prices; potential failure to achieve, and potential delays
in achieving, expected production from existing and future oil and gas
development projects; potential disruption or interruption of the company's
production, manufacturing or transportation facilities due to accidents or
political events; potential disruption to the company's operations due to
untimely or incomplete resolution of Year 2000 issues by the company and other
entities with which it has material relationships; potential liability for
remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations; and
potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation. In addition,
such statements could be affected by general domestic and international economic
and political conditions.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revision to any forward-looking statement contained in this Report which may be
made to reflect events or circumstances occurring subsequent to the filing of
this Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Readers are
urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the
Company in this Report and in the Company's other Reports filed with the SEC
that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may
affect the Company's business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
The Company is engaged primarily in the fields of acquisition,
development, exploration for and sale of oil and gas, and the construction and
sale of oil and gas extraction equipment.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Power
Exploration, Inc. ("Power", formerly Titan Energy Corp., Inc.) and its 100%
owned subsidiaries, Oil Retrieval Systems, Inc. ("ORS"), acquired May 16, 1997
and Oil Seeps, Inc. ("OSI") acquired June 17, 1997. Accordingly, all references
herein to "Power" or the "Company" include the consolidated results of its
subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting date. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy
financial institutions. However, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured levels at
various times during the year.
Per Share of Common Stock
Per share amounts have been computed based on the average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
statement titled "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). This statement is
effective for both interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 1997 and
specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock. All prior-period EPS data presented has been restated to conform
with the provisions for SFAS No. 128.
Potential common stock has been excluded from the computation of
earnings per share since the inclusion of options and warrants would be
anti-dilutive.
Page 7 of 21
<PAGE> 8
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
statement titled "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130). This statement
is effective for both interim and annual periods beginning after March 15, 1997.
This statement uses the term "comprehensive income" to describe the total of all
components of comprehensive income, including net income. This statement uses
the term "other comprehensive net income" to refer to revenues, expenses, gains
or losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in
comprehensive income, but excluded from net income.
The impact of SFAS No. 130 in the financial statements, had it been
adopted as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, is not applicable, since the Company
had no other comprehensive income.

NOTE 4 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES NOT SUBJECT TO AMORTIZATION
The Company's oil and gas properties are located in the United States and
Australia. The $1,303,805 and $1,312,505 cost of unproved oil and gas leases
held at June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively, have been excluded
in computing amortization of the full cost pool. All excluded costs at June 30,
1999 are located in Australia.
A determination cannot be made about the extent of oil reserves that should be
classified as proved reserves for this prospect. Consequently, the associated
property costs and exploration costs have been excluded in computing
amortization of the full cost pool. The Company estimates that amortization of
these costs will begin during the calendar year 2000.

<PAGE> 9
NOTE 5 - PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS
The Company had entered into a participation agreement in the
development of the Revilo Glorieta Unit situated in Scurry County, Texas. Under
this agreement, the Company received an 18% net revenue interest in the
property, with no liability for expenses except as described below. The
agreement was effective January 15, 1997 and was terminated by the Company
during the year ended September 30, 1998.
The agreement called for the Company to furnish three oil retrieval
systems to facilitate production on the property in order to earn its 18% net
revenue interest. The Company bore no expense in the operation of the units,
except to provide maintenance expense on the equipment.
The Company also entered into a participation agreement with Corsicana
Drilling Partners No. 2, G.P. This partnership arrangement provided
approximately $500,000 in proceeds to drill two lateral wells on the Company's
Barry lease located in Corsicana, Texas. The terms of the partnership include
payment of 70% of the net cash proceeds from the two-well production back to the
general partners until payback of initial proceeds plus a 12% rate of return and
50% of the net proceeds of the two-well production thereafter, in perpetuity. As
of the date of this filing, the partnership has not generated significant net
proceeds from the production generated by the two wells.

$491,000, and loaned the Company those funds at annual interest rate of 8%. The
note will mature on March 31, 2000. Also included in this amount was the note

NOTE 7 - DEBENTURES PAYABLE
a) During July and August 1997, the Company sold $1,250,000 of 12% Convertible
Debentures, in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, for
net proceeds of $870,000.
The debentures bore interest at 12% per annum and were due and payable
on July 31, 1998, if not converted earlier. Interest was payable quarterly.
The principal amount of the debentures was converted at the holders
option, anytime 28 days after the closing date, into shares of the Company's
common stock at a conversion price for each share of Company common stock equal
to the lower of (a) 80% of the closing bid price of the common stock for the
business day immediately preceding the date of receipt by the Company and
notice of conversion or (b) 80% of the average of the closing bid price of the
common stock for the 5 business days immediately preceding the closing date.
Costs of $130,000 incurred in connection with the issuance of these
debentures are being amortized over the life of the debentures. Un-amortized
issuance costs are charged to additional paid-in capital as debentures are
converted into common stock
As of September 30, 1997, $467,000 principal amount of debentures had
been converted into 434,702 shares of common stock. During the year ended
September 30, 1998, the remaining $783,000 principal amount of debentures was

in accordance with Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, for net proceeds
of $176,000. Conversion terms are similar to those of the debentures described
in (a) above.
The Company and the buyer of the debenture were in disagreement
concerning the validity of the debenture. On October 29, 1998, the parties
reached an agreement. The agreement provides that the buyer will remit an
additional amount of $150,000 to the Company. The Company will then issue
650,000 shares of common stock to convert the total advances of $400,000 plus
all accrued interest into equity. This conversion occurred on October 30, 1998.

NOTE 12 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 1999, the
Company has a working capital deficit of $1,047,917 and an accumulated deficit
of $7,135,408. Based upon the Company's plan of operation, the Company
estimates that existing resources, together with funds generated from
operations will not be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital. The
Company is actively seeking additional equity financing. There can be no
assurances that sufficient financing will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, the
Company will be forced to scale back operations, which would have an adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General
The following discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included
in Item 1 of Part I of this Report.
Overview
Power, along with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a developmental
global resource company engaged in oil and gas exploration. In addition to
exploration and development of new properties, Power redevelops currently
producing oil and gas fields, and researches and develops exploration and
recovery technologies, including the manufacture of new, cutting-edge oil
recovery equipment. (See "Glossary of Selected Oil and Natural Gas Terms" in
the Company's most recent 10-KSB/A for a definition of certain oil and gas
industry terms used in this report.)
During its history, Power has changed its name several times. At
different times Power has been known as Imperial Energy Corp., Funscape Corp.,
Oil Retrieval Systems, Inc., and Titan Energy Corp. In this report, all of
these entities shall be referred to as Power.
Power's business activity has stagnated due to current limited capital
resources and cash flow. The company is currently seeking financing that will
provide adequate capitalization. The Company has devised a two-stage financing
program to achieve its goals and financial forecasts. In the first stage, Power
will require approximately $3 million and in the second stage will require an
additional $7 million. The financing is expected to be secured through joint
venture participations for specific purposes.
History of Losses
Power had a net loss of $287,800 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, and net losses of $628,961 and $2,695,817, for the years ended September
30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Power may continue to incur net losses and, to
the extent that natural gas and crude oil prices remain low, such losses may be
substantial.
Financial Results
Revenues
Oil and gas sales increased $7,367, or 413%, to $9,152 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,785 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. Equipment sales decreased $121,634, or 64%, to $67,764 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $189,398 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. Even with these increases in revenue and an increase in gross profit,
income was far short of expenses. To date, Power has been putting the necessary
components in place to create ongoing income, and these efforts should begin to
be realized during the fourth quarter of the 1999 fiscal year.
Page 15 of 21
<PAGE> 16
Costs and Expenses
Power's general and administrative expenses decreased $1,831,616, or
91%, to $186,931 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,018,547 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The change in general and administrative
expenses was due primarily to the significant decrease in consulting fees,
which were issued for stock under rule S-8 .
Other major components of general and administrative expenses included
officer's salaries at 5%, non-officer salaries at 8%, and legal fees at 2%.
Separately, lease operating expenses increased $64,194 to $92,249 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $28,055 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. This increase is due primarily to the increase in drilling activities
undertaken by the Company.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $287,800, or
$.02 per share, compared to a loss of $2,006,426, or $.17 per share, for the
three months ended March 31, 1999. Net cash used in operating activities was
$256,107 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, and $490,346 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. All cash activities of the business produced a
$1,400 decrease in cash for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Power's working capital deficit on June 30, 1999 was $1,047,917
compared to a deficit of $986,680 on December 31, 1998. Power had a current
ratio of 0.4 the three months ended June 30, 1999 as well as for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998. A comparison of other ratios that measure
financial performance show no change in the quick ratio of 0.2, no change in
the net worth to assets ratio of 0.8, and debt to net worth of (2.3) and (2.4)
respectively. This data all highlights Power's need to raise additional
capital, to convert some short-term debt into long-term debt, or to incur new
long-term debt.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $149,096 at March 31, 1999, a
$54,721 decrease from December 31, 1998. An increase in accounts payable caused
the company's debt to increase 72% totaling $2,953,635 at June 30, 1999, up
from September 30, 1998.
Long-Term Debt
On June 30, 1999, Power had no long-term debt. Although 89% of Power's
assets are comprised of oil and gas properties that are not a current asset,
all of Power's borrowings have been short term in nature. This has aggravated
the Company's cash position and produced lower measures of financial
performance than would otherwise be possible.
Need to Raise Additional Capital
The growth of Power's business will require substantial capital on a
continuing basis. There is no assurance that any such required additional funds
would be available on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. There is
also no assurance that the Company will not pursue, from time to time,
opportunities to acquire oil and natural gas properties and businesses that may
utilize the capital currently expected to be available for its present
operations. The amount and timing of Power's future capital requirements, if
any, will depend upon a number of factors, including drilling costs,
Page 16 of 21
<PAGE> 17
transportation costs, equipment costs, marketing expenses, staffing levels and
competitive conditions, and any purchases or dispositions of assets, many of
which are not within the Company's control. Failure to obtain any required
additional financing could materially adversely affect the growth, cash flow
and earnings of Power. In addition, Power's pursuit of additional capital could
result in additional debt or the issuance of additional equity securities which
would be dilutive to existing shareholders.
Operating Environment and Outlook
The Company's earnings are affected significantly by fluctuations in the price
of crude oil. During 1998, the spot price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the
industry benchmark for light crude, averaged $14.39 per barrel, representing a
30 percent decline from the corresponding 1997 period. For the first six months
1999, the WTI spot price averaged $16.75 per barrel.
Year 2000 Compliance
The "Year 2000 problem" results from computer systems and other
equipment that contain embedded chips or processors, and which use two digits,
rather than four, to define a specific year. This creates the potential for the
equipment to be unable to accurately process certain data before, during or
after the year 2000. This could result in system failures or miscalculations,
causing disruptions to various activities and operations.
The Company's management has conducted a review of its information
systems and related data-processing activities to assess its exposure to the
Year 2000 problem. As a result, Power has upgraded the operating software on
some of its computers to a Year 2000 compliant system, and has upgraded its
accounting software to a Year 2000 compliant version.
The Company currently uses Year 2000 compliant engineering evaluation
software for acquisition analysis, as well as internal engineering
applications. Power's spreadsheet and word processing software is also Year
2000 compliant.
Power has potential Year 2000 exposure with regard to its third party
relationships and services including its bank and bank accounts and other
vendor and/or service providers who utilize computers. Although the Company has
no control over Year 2000 compliance implementation by these parties, Power has
inquired and been assured that all of it's service providers currently are, or
will be, Year 2000 compliant.
Uncertainties and Risk Factors
Concentration of Production
Power's existing proved producing oil and natural gas reserves and its
production therefrom are located in a single field, which consists of 4,500
acres and contains 650 wells. Accordingly, to the extent that Power experiences
any operating difficulties in connection with such wells or that the estimated
proved reserves attributable thereto are less than those that are currently
estimated to exist, Power could be adversely affected.
Geographic Restrictions
Page 17 of 21
<PAGE> 18
There are no geographic restrictions that would prevent Power from
acquiring or seeking to acquire any rights or interest in any properties.
Inability to Develop Additional Reserves
Power 's future success as an oil and natural gas producer, as is
generally the case in the industry, depends upon its ability to find, develop
and acquire additional oil and natural gas reserves that are economically
recoverable. Except to the extent that Power conducts successful development
activities or acquires properties containing proved reserves, Power 's proved
reserves would generally decline as reserves are produced. There can be no
assurance that Power will be able to locate additional reserves or that Power
will drill economically productive wells or acquire properties containing
proved reserves.
Acquisition Risks
Power 's business strategy includes focused acquisitions of producing
oil and natural gas properties. Any such future acquisitions will require an
assessment of the recoverable reserves, future oil and natural gas prices,
operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities and other
similar factors. It generally is not feasible to review in detail every
individual property involved in an acquisition. Ordinarily, review efforts are
focused on the higher-valued properties. However, even a detailed review of all
properties and records may not reveal existing or potential problems; nor will
it permit Power to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess
fully their deficiencies and capabilities. Inspections are not always performed
on every well, and potential problems, such as mechanical integrity of
equipment and environmental conditions that may require significant remedial
expenditures, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is
undertaken. Even if problems are identified, the seller may be unwilling or
unable to provide effective contractual protection against all or part of such
problems. There can be no assurance that oil and natural gas properties
acquired by Power will be successfully integrated into Power 's operations or
will achieve desired profitability objectives.
Drilling Risks
Power 's drilling involves numerous risks, including the risk that no
commercially productive natural gas or oil reservoirs will be encountered.
Power must incur significant expenditures for the identification and
acquisition of properties and for the drilling and completion of wells. The
cost of drilling, completing and operating a well is often uncertain, and
drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a
variety of factors, including unexpected drilling conditions, pressure or
irregularities in formations, equipment failures or accidents, weather
conditions and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. In addition,
any use by Power of 3-dimensional seismic and other advanced technology
requires greater pre-drilling expenditures than traditional drilling
strategies. There can be no assurance as to the success of Power 's future
drilling activities.
Uncertainty of Estimates of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
Numerous uncertainties are inherent in estimating quantities of proved
oil and natural gas reserves, including many factors beyond the control of
Power. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex,
requiring significant decisions and assumptions in the evaluation of available
geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. As a result, such
estimates
Page 18 of 21
<PAGE> 19
are inherently an imprecise evaluation of reserve quantities and the future net
revenue therefrom. Actual future production, revenue, taxes, development
expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural
gas reserves may vary substantially from those assumed in the estimate. Any
significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated
quantity and value of reserves. In addition, Power 's reserves may be subject
to downward or upward revision, based upon production history, results of
future exploration and development, prevailing oil and natural gas prices and
other factors.
Geographic Concentration of Operations
Virtually all of Power 's current operations are located in Texas and
Australia. Because of this concentration, any regional events that increase
costs or competition, reduce availability of equipment or supplies, reduce
demand or limit production will impact Power more adversely than if Power were
geographically diversified.
Certain Industry and Marketing Risks
Power's operations are subject to the risks and uncertainties
associated with drilling for, producing and transporting of oil and natural
gas. Power's future ability to market its natural gas and oil production will
depend upon the availability and capacity of natural gas gathering systems and
pipelines and other transportation facilities. Federal and state regulation of
oil and natural gas production and transportation, general economic conditions,
changes in supply and in demand all could materially adversely affect Power's
ability to market its oil and natural gas production.
Effects of Changing Prices
The future financial condition and results of operations of Power
depend upon the prices it receives for its oil and natural gas and the costs of
acquiring, developing and producing oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas
prices have historically been volatile and are subject to fluctuations in
response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of additional
factors that are also beyond Power's control. These factors include, without
limitation, the level of domestic production, the availability of imported oil
and natural gas, actions taken by foreign oil and natural gas producing
nations, the availability of transportation systems with adequate capacity, the
availability of competitive fuels, fluctuating and seasonal demand for natural
gas, conservation and the extent of governmental regulation of production,
weather, foreign and domestic government relations, the price of domestic and
imported oil and natural gas, and the overall economic environment. A
substantial or extended decline in oil and/or natural gas prices could have a
material adverse effect on Power's estimated value of its natural gas and oil
reserves, and on its financial position, results of operations and access to
capital. Power's ability to maintain or increase its borrowing capacity, to
repay current or future indebtedness and to obtain additional capital on
attractive terms is substantially dependent upon oil and natural gas prices.
Power uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in
oil and gas properties. Under the full-cost method of accounting, all costs of
acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are
capitalized into a "full cost pool" as incurred, and properties in the pool are
depleted and charged to operations using the unit-of-production method based on
the ratio of current production to total proved oil and gas reserves. To the
extent that such capitalized costs (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion
and amortization)
Page 19 of 21
<PAGE> 20
less deferred taxes exceed the SEC PV-10 (present value discounted at 10% as
dictated by the SEC) of estimated future net cash flow from proved reserves of
oil and gas, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties after
income tax effects, such excess costs are charged against earnings. Once
incurred, a write-down of oil and gas properties is not reversible at a later
date even if oil or gas prices increase.
Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks
Power's operations are subject to the risks inherent in the oil and
natural gas industry, including the risks of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe
failure, abnormally pressured formations and environmental accidents such as
oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, brine or well
fluids into the environment (including groundwater contamination). The
occurrence of any of these risks could result in substantial losses to Power
due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property,
natural resources and, equipment, pollution or other environmental damage,
clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and
suspension of operations. In accordance with customary industry practice, Power
maintains insurance against some, but not all, of the risks described above.
There can be no assurance that any insurance maintained by Power will be
adequate to cover any such losses or liabilities. Further, Power cannot predict
the continued availability of insurance, or availability at commercially
acceptable premium levels. Power does not carry business interruption
insurance. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or under-insured
events could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and
operations of Power. From time to time, due primarily to contract terms,
pipeline interruptions or weather conditions, the producing wells in which
Power owns an interest have been subject to production curtailments. The
curtailments range from production being partially restricted to wells being
completely shut-in. The duration of curtailments varies from a few days to
several months. In most cases Power is provided only limited notice as to when
production will be curtailed and the duration of such curtailments. Power is
not currently experiencing any material curtailment on its production.
Substantial Competition
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive and there are
many other companies engaged in the oil and natural gas business. Power is
likely to encounter substantial competition from major oil companies, other
independent oil and natural gas concerns and individual producers and operators
in acquiring oil and natural gas properties suitable for exploration and
development. Many of the companies with which Power competes have substantially
greater financial, technical and other resources and may have greater
experience in the oil and natural gas business than Power. Therefore,
competitors may be able to pay more for desirable leases and to evaluate, bid
for and purchase a greater number of properties or prospects than the financial
or personnel resources of Power will permit.
Volatility of Stock Price
The market price for shares of the Common Stock has varied
significantly and may be volatile depending on news announcements or changes in
general market conditions. In particular, news announcements, quarterly results
of operations, competitive developments, litigation or governmental regulatory
action impacting Power may adversely affect the Common Stock price. In
addition, because the number of shares of Common Stock held by the public is
relatively small, the
Page 20 of 21
<PAGE> 21
sale of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock in a short period of
time could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.
