ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

          On December 9, 1999 the Registrant  acquired  approximately 32 sets of
oil leases, representing mineral rights to approximately Two Hundred Forty (240)
producing  oil  wells,  as well as  approximately  39  injection  wells,  in the
Corsicana Shallow Field, Navarro County, Texas (collectively, the "Oil Leases").
The Registrant acquired the Oil Leases from Rife Oil Properties,  Inc., a Nevada
corporation  ("Rife Oil"), as set forth in the attached  Acquisition  Agreement,
Exhibit A. By the same  agreement,  the Registrant  also acquired  approximately
$950,000 of debt owed to Rife Oil.  In exchange  for both the Oil Leases and the
debt,  the  Registrant  paid a total of Nine Million  (9,000,000)  shares of its
common  stock,  restricted  under Rule 144 of the  Securities  Act of 1933.  The
source  of the  stock  used to make  the  purchase  was  from  the  Registrant's
authorized but unissued common stock. The purchase price was determined based on
the fact that the closing price of  Registrant's  common stock on the OTC-BB was
$2 5/8 as of 12/9/99,  the stock used to purchase the assets was  restricted and
therefore  valued at half its market price, and its estimate that the Oil Leases
and the debt together were worth  approximately  $11.8  million.  Moreover,  the
purchase  price was based on estimates of potential  production  from  certified
engineers that the undiscounted cash flow derived from these leases could exceed
$200 million over a five year period. M.O. Rife III is the Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Registrant, and is also President and majority owner of Rife
Oil  Properties,  Inc.  Rife  used the  leases  as part of its  business  of oil
exploration and production,  and Registrant intends to continue using the leases
as part of its oil exploration and production business.

                  affected,  nor will  such execution, delivery and carrying out
                  violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, law, rule or reg-
