ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
- ------------------
(a) General Development of Business. Black Dome Energy Corporation
(referred to herein as the "Company" or "Black Dome") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Colorado on December 12, 1979. Although the Company
has terminated its business operations and no longer maintains any executive
offices, it maintains a mailing address at P.O. Box 4119, Evergreen, Colorado
80437. Prior to December 16, 1996, Black Dome was an oil and gas company
engaged in the exploration for oil and gas, the purchase of producing oil and
gas properties, the sale of portions of the producing oil and gas properties
and the operation of producing oil and gas leases. At a meeting held on
December 16, 1996, the shareholders adopted a resolution authorizing the
dissolution of the Company, and on January 7, 1997, Articles of Dissolution
were filed with the office of the Colorado Secretary of State.
Since December 16, 1996, the business of the Company has been generally
limited to the liquidation of assets, the satisfaction of liabilities and the
winding up of the Company's affairs. On February 21, 1997 the Company
consummated a sale (effective December 31, 1996) of substantially all of its
oil and gas assets to MBR Resources, Inc. (an unaffiliated, privately-held oil
and gas company located in Tulsa, Oklahoma) for the amount of $921,250.00 in
cash (subject to adjustment after consummation of the transaction in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement
between the parties). The perceived fair market value of the properties was
the overriding guiding principle utilized in determining the amount of the
purchase price for the properties. The Company's perception of fair market
value was based upon management's evaluation of the subject properties and its
analysis of the amounts offered by other parties in negotiations with respect
to proposed sales of the same properties.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's revenues
attributable to its overall income were derived primarily from interest on the
proceeds received from the sale of its properties.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments. The Company was
engaged in business in only one industry segment, namely the exploration for
oil and gas, production of oil and gas and the development of oil and gas
properties. Therefore, no information is provided with respect to any other
industry segment.
(c)(1) Narrative Description of Business. The Company's business
activities are limited to the satisfaction of its liabilities and other
obligations, and to the winding up of its affairs. Management expects to
complete this process as expeditiously as possible and currently intends to
cause a final liquidating distribution to be made to the Company's
shareholders prior to the completion of the current fiscal year. To that end,
all of the Company's liquid assets are currently being held in trust by the
Clayton Corporation Petroleum & Natural Gas Production (a privately-held
Nevada corporation that is controlled by Edgar J. Huff) to accomplish the
contemplated distribution.
(i) Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered. The Company
produced no principal products during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.
(ii) Status of New Products or Industry Segments. There has been no
public announcement of, and no information otherwise has been made public
about, a new product or industry segment which would require the investment of
a material amount of the Company's assets or which otherwise is material.
2
<PAGE>
(iii) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials. There are no raw
materials known to management which are essential to the liquidation of the
Company.
(iv) Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions. The
Company does not own any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or
concessions.
(v) Seasonal Nature of Business. There are no factors which are
seasonal in nature that are expected to have any material influence on the
liquidation of the Company.
(vi) Working Capital Items. The Company has not retained any working
capital and no material amount of working capital is expected to be necessary
in order for the Company to successfully complete its liquidation.
(vii) Major Customers. As the Company disposed of its properties
effective December 31, 1996 and is currently engaged in a dissolution, it no
longer sells any oil or gas products and therefore no longer has any
customers.
(viii) Backlog. The Company has no backlog due to the nature of its
business, nor is backlog material to an understanding of the Company's
business.
(ix) Renegotiation or Termination of Government Contracts. The Company
has no material portion of its business which may be subject to renegotiation
of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of
government.
(x) Competitive Conditions. The Company had an insignificant
competitive position in the oil and gas industry.
(xi) Research and Development. The Company was engaged in finding and
producing oil and gas, and no funds were allocated to product research and
development in the conventional sense. Since its inception, the Company has
never had any customer or government sponsored research activities relating to
the development of new products, services or techniques or the improvement of
existing products, services or techniques.
(xii) Environmental Protection. The Company, as a former owner and
operator of oil and gas properties, was subject to various federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the discharge of materials into, and
protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations, among other
things, impose liability on the Company for the cost of pollution clean-up
resulting from operations, subject the Company to liability for pollution
damages, require suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas and
impose restrictions on the injection of liquids into subsurface aquifers that
may contain groundwater.
Environmental requirements may necessitate significant capital outlays
which may materially affect the Company's earnings and potential earnings and
could cause material changes in its form of business. The Company has made
and may be required to continue to make expenditures in its efforts to comply
with these requirements which it believes are necessary business costs in the
oil and gas industry. As of December 31, 1997, the Company is not aware of
any existing environmental claims which would have a material adverse effect
upon its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
There is no assurance, however, that existing laws or regulations or
changes in or additions to laws or regulations regarding the protection of the
3
<PAGE>
environment will not adversely affect the Company. It is impossible to
determine whether or to what extent the amount of the Company's liquidating
distribution may be affected by environmental laws; however, management does
not believe that such laws have had a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
(xiii) Employees. Until June 30, 1997, the Company had one full-time
salaried employee who performed clerical and administrative services, one
part-time contract employee who performed accounting services, one full-time
employee who performed executive functions (but whose compensation was
terminated pursuant to his request effective June 30, 1996). The salaries for
both the full-time salaried employee and the part-time contract employee were
terminated effective June 30, 1997. Since that date the Company has
contracted to have services performed on its behalf on an hourly basis only as
deemed necessary by management.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales. The Company has no material operations in foreign countries and
no material portion of its sales or revenues is derived from customers in
foreign countries.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
- --------------------
(a) Office Facilities. The Company does not currently maintain any
offices as it does not conduct any business activities. It maintains a
mailing address at the home of Edgar J. Huff at P.O. Box 4119, Evergreen,
Colorado 80437. Mr. Huff does not charge the Company for this service. It is
not anticipated that it will be necessary for the Company to maintain any
office facilities in the future.
(b)(1) Reserves. Proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas reserves
of the Company at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were computed by
Joseph R. Albi, Jr., a consulting petroleum engineer and former Executive Vice
President of the Company. Effective December 31, 1996, all of the Company's
reserves were sold to an unaffiliated entity pursuant to a plan of dissolution
authorized by the Company's shareholders.
All of the Company's reserves were located in the continental United
States and the majority of the properties comprising these reserves were
operated by Black Dome Energy Corporation.

(1) Proved Developed Reserves. These are proved reserves which can be
expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods. This classification includes:
(i) Proved Developed Producing Reserves. These are proved developed
reserves which are expected to be produced from existing completion
interval(s) now open for production in existing wells; and
(ii) Proved Developed Non-Producing Reserves. These are proved developed
reserves which exist behind the casing of existing wells, or at minor depths
below the present bottom of such wells, which are expected to be produced
through these wells in the predictable future, where the cost of making such
oil and gas available for production should be relatively small compared to
the cost of a new well.
Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of
fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the
natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery are included as "Proved
Developed Reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the
operation of an installed program has confirmed through production response
that increased recovery will be achieved.
(2) Proved Undeveloped Reserves. These are proved reserves which are
expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing
wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling units offsetting
productive units, which are reasonably certain of production when demonstrated
with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing
productive formation. Estimates for proved undeveloped reserves may be
attributable to acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other
improved recovery technique is used or contemplated only where such techniques
have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same
reservoir.
Present Value of Estimated Future Net Revenues from Proved Developed and
Proved Undeveloped Oil and Gas Reserves. The table below presents, as of the
end of 1996 and 1995 (the Company owned no reserves during 1997), the present
value of the estimated future net revenues attributable to proved developed
reserves and proved undeveloped reserves discounted at an annual rate of ten
percent (10%) per year.
Present Value of Future Future Net Revenue
Net Revenues (discounted -------------------------------------
at 10%) as of Proved Proved Total
December 31, Developed Undeveloped Proved
------------------------ ---------- ----------- ----------
1995 $1,175,279 $ 21,037 $1,196,316
1996 $2,470,181 $148,150 $2,618,331
1997 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0
The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates and rates of production are
inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and non-producing
and/or undeveloped reserves are more imprecise than those of mature producing
oil and gas properties.
For additional information concerning oil and gas revenues, see Note 6 to
the Financial Statements.
(b)(2) Reserves Reported to Other Agencies. The Company did not file
any oil or gas reserve estimates with, or include such estimates in reports
to, any other federal governmental authority or agency within its last fiscal
year.

(b)(3)(i) Production. The following table shows the Company's net
quantities of oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) and of gas
produced for each of the Company's past three fiscal years:

---- ---- ----
Gas (Mcf) 0 237,963 261,562
Oil/Condensate (Barrels) 0 1,724 1,382
The Company has no long-term supply or similar arrangements with foreign
governments or authorities and, as the Company has disposed of its properties
and is currently engaged in dissolution, does not anticipate having any such
arrangements in the future.
(b)(3)(ii) Average Sales Price and Production Costs. The average sales
prices (including transfers) and production costs per barrel of oil and Mcf of
gas received by the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 (the Company did not sell any oil or gas during 1997), were as follows
(equivalent barrels of production were calculated on the basis of 6 Mcf equals
1 Barrel):

or drilled by the Company in 1997 and no revenues or expenses from oil and/or
gas activities were recognized during the 1997 fiscal year.
(b)(8) Delivery Commitments. As of March 26, 1998, the Company was not
obligated to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas in the
6
<PAGE>
future pursuant to existing contracts or agreements, nor has the Company had
any significant delivery commitments since its inception on December 12, 1979.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- ---------------------------
There are no current legal proceedings concerning the Company and there
are none pending, except that Black Dome has been named as a defendant in
litigation concerning an alleged indebtedness resulting from a guarantee not
to exceed $25,000 plus accrued interest and expenses which Black Dome gave for
the indebtedness of Deane J. Writer, Jr. to Capital Federal Savings and Loan
Association. The alleged assignee of underlying debt, Federal Financial Co.,
has filed an action against a number of defendants, including Black Dome, in
the District Court of the City and County of Denver, Colorado, Case No.
96-CV-5728. Black Dome believes it has potentially valid defenses, but, in
light of the small amount at controversy, intends to attempt to negotiate a
reasonable settlement of the matter in cooperation with the other defendants.
Management otherwise intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against
Black Dome. No prediction of the outcome can reasonably be made at this
initial stage of the litigation.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
- -------------------------------------------------------------
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997.
PART II
-------
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
- --------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Market Information. From October 1980 through November 12, 1984,
Black Dome's common stock was traded on the over-the-counter market under the
symbol "BDEC" and the quotes were carried by NASDAQ during that period of
time. NASDAQ voluntarily withdrew "BDEC" from the system on November 12, 1984
due to the depressed price of the stock. Since that date there has been
sporadic trading in the Company's stock. At the present time, there are no
market makers listed in the "pink sheets," and there have been no recorded
public trades of the Company's common stock for at least the past three years.
(b) Holders. As of March 28, 1998, there were approximately 1,616
record holders of the Company's common stock.
(c) Dividends. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such
dividends as may be declared by Black Dome's Board of Directors. No dividends
have been paid with respect to Black Dome's common stock and no dividends are
anticipated to be paid in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
In December, 1997, the Company transferred all of its assets to Clayton
Corporation Petroleum & Natural Gas Production (a privately-held Nevada
corporation which is controlled by Edgar J. Huff, the Company's President and
controlling shareholder) to hold in a liquidating trust for distribution to
the Company's shareholders. Accordingly, the Company currently has no assets
and does not intend to conduct any business activities other than to make
satisfactory arrangements for the payment of costs associated with the winding
up of the Company's affairs and the distribution of its assets, which costs
are currently anticipated to be insignificant and will be paid by Clayton
Corporation Petroleum & Natural Gas Production from the assets currently held
in trust for the Company's shareholders.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Corporation sold all of its operating oil and gas properties
effective December 31, 1996 and ceased operations. Costs incurred in the year
ended December 31, 1997 resulted mostly from administrative costs incurred in
the closing of operations.

BLACK DOME ENERGY CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1997 and 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
Black Dome Energy Corporation was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on
December 12, 1979 and was in the development stage through 1980. The Company
is involved in exploration for oil and gas and the acquisition, development,
and operation of oil and gas leasehold interests.
During the relevant period, income from oil and gas sales was recognized as
deliveries were made to the purchasers and operating income was recognized as
services were performed in the management and operations of the producing
properties.
At the December 1996 Stockholders' Meeting, the stockholders approved
disposition of its oil and gas properties. In reviewing the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, paragraph 19, it was determined that
no loss will be incurred in the disposition. The Company was liquidated in
1997.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION, AND AMORTIZATION
The Company followed the successful-efforts method of accounting for oil and
gas exploration and development costs. Under this method, lease acquisition
costs and exploration and development costs attributable to the finding and
development of proved reserves are capitalized. Exploratory dry hole costs
and other nonproductive oil and gas activities are expensed. Costs of
nonproductive leases are charged to expense when abandoned or substantially
impaired, based upon a property-by-property evaluation. Capitalized costs
relating to producing properties are depleted or depreciated on the units-of-
production method based on the total of proved reserves. Expenditures for
repairs and maintenance costs and delay rentals are charged to expense as
incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related
accumulated depreciation, depletion, or amortization of property sold or
otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts; and gains or losses on
dispositions are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
Furniture, office equipment, and an automobile are depreciated using the
straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
INVENTORY
Inventory of lease and well equipment was valued at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined by either the specific identification method or
average cost method depending on the nature of the inventory item.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using tax-liability method in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109.
GAIN (LOSS) PER SHARE
Gain (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
during the year. There were 73,755 shares outstanding at December 31, 1997
and 1996.

The Company discontinued operations in 1997.
2. OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS:
Information related to the Company's oil and gas operations is summarized as
follows:
December 31,
1996 1995
Capitalized costs: -------- --------
Proved oil and gas properties $906,235 885,006
906,235 885,006
Accumulated depletion, depreciation

$161,511 220,994
Costs incurred in oil and gas

Production costs 205,146 188,999
Depreciation, depletion, and
amortization expense 81,549 199,519
$286,695 398,628
Sales of oil and gas, net of
production costs $318,759 $ 3,999
There were no 1997 operations
3. INCOME TAXES:
The Company reports income for financial statements and income tax reporting
on the same basis of accounting.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes", which employs an asset and liability approach for income
taxes, the objective of which is to recognize the amount of current and
deferred tax payable at the date of the financial statements using the
provisions of enacted tax laws. The Company has applied the provisions of
Statement 109 in the accompanying financial statements.
The deferred tax and related valuation allowance for the loss carryforwards
are calculated at the end of each year as follows:
1997 1996 1995 Prior Years
Loss Carryforward ---------- --------- --------- -----------
for tax purposes $(700,000) 1,060,000 1,155,000 945,000
Deferred tax asset

Valuation allowance equal to
amount which the deferred tax
exceeds the deferred
tax liability --- 124,000 462,000 378,000

3. INCOME TAXES, continued:
Income tax benefit is calculated as follows using a 40% tax rate. Benefit
from estimated gain of $750,000 on sale of all of the corporate oil and gas
properties.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
The Company is a co-defendant in litigation concerning an alleged indebtedness
resulting from a guarantee not to exceed $25,000 plus interest and expenses.
The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims as it
believes it has potentially valid defenses,
5. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES:
The company's oil and gas operations are subject to various federal, state,
and local laws and regulations regarding environmental and ecological matters.
These laws and regulations, among other things, impose liability on the
Company, as a lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution
clean-up resulting from operations, subject the lessee to liability for
pollution damages, require suspension or cessation of operations in affected
areas and impose restrictions on the injection of liquids into subsurface
aquifers that may contain groundwater.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company was not aware of any environmental claims
that would have a material impact upon the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
In December 1997, the Company transferred all of its asset to Clayton
Corporation Petroleum & Natural Gas Production (a privately-held Nevada
corporation that is controlled by Edgar J. Huff, the Company's President and
controlling shareholder) to hold in a liquidating trust for distribution to
the Company's shareholders. Although all of the third-party costs associated
with the winding up of the Company Petroleum & Natural Gas Production's
affairs and the distribution of its assets are to be paid by Clayton
Corporation as trustee from the assets it currently holds in trust for the
shareholders of the Company, Clayton Corporation Petroleum & Natural Gas
Production is to receive no compensation for its services. At the direction
of the Company's Board of Directors, all of the trust assets have been
invested in a money market account with Olde Discount Corporation for the
benefit of the Company's shareholders. All earnings on the account are to be
distributed with the trust assets to the Company's shareholders on a pro rata
basis after the payment of all third-party costs associated with the winding
up of the Company's affairs and causing the subject distribution to be made.
