PART I
ITEM 1- BUSINESS
--------
General
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation, (formerly Energy Production Company)a Colorado
corporation (the "Company"), was formed on March 11, 1980, for the purpose of
identifying, acquiring, and enhancing the production of mature oil and natural
gas fields located primarily in the mid-continent and the Rocky Mountain region.
From 1980 the Company was engaged in oil and gas operations, and beginning in
December 1986, the Company divested all of its oil and gas assets and
operations. Since December 1986, the Company has not engaged in any oil and gas
operations until the completion of the reverse acquisition described below on
December 31, 1997.
Reverse Acquisition - The Company entered into an Agreement dated as of December
22, 1997, with Bass Petroleum, Inc., a Texas corporation ("BPI"), pursuant to
which, on December 31, 1997, the Company acquired from the shareholders of BPI
an aggregate of 8,655,625 shares of capital stock of BPI, in exchange for the
issuance of 4,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company's common stock. The
transaction was treated, for accounting purposes, as an acquisition of
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation by Bass Petroleum, Inc. The historical
information prior to December 31,1997 represents the production and activity of
BPI. On December 31,1997, the Company changed its name from Energy Production
Company to FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
Recent Acquisition and Development
On February 18, 1998, the Company acquired a 97.9% working interest in the Shade
lease, which carries a 76.9565% net revenue interest in oil and gas production.
A total purchase price of $190,000.00 was paid for the interest and related
equipment. The lease currently has 3 producing oil and gas wells; the Company
also purchased all equipment related to the three wells on the lease from
Fred Bowman, Inc.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this document, including without limitation
statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "expects,"
and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Business Strategy
The Company's business strategy is to continue to expand its reserve base and
increase production and cash flow through the acquisition of producing oil and
gas properties. Such acquisitions will be based on an analysis of the
properties' current cash flow and the Company's ability to profit from the
acquisition. The Company's ideal acquisition will include not only oil and gas
production, but also leasehold and other working interest in exploration areas.
The Company will also seek to identify promising areas for the exploration of
oil and gas through the use of outside consultants and the expertise of the
Company. This identification will include collecting and analyzing geological
and geophysical data for exploration areas. Once promising properties are
2
<PAGE>
identified, the Company will attempt to acquire the properties either for
drilling oil and natural gas wells, using independent contractors for drilling
operations, or for sale to third parties.
The Company recognizes that the ability to implement its business strategies is
largely dependent on the ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to
fund future acquisition, exploration, drilling and development activities. The
Company's capital resources are discussed more thoroughly in Part II, Item 6, in
Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Operations
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had varying ownership interest in 77 gross
productive wells (28.98 net) located in two states. The Company operates 56 of
the 77 wells; the other wells are operated by independent operators under
contracts that are standard in the industry. It is a primary objective of the
Company to operate most of the oil and gas properties in which it has an
economic interest. The Company believes, with the responsibility and authority
as operator, it is in better position to control cost, safety, and timeliness of
work as well as other critical factors affecting the economics of a well.
Market for Oil and Gas
The demand for oil and gas is dependent upon a number of factors, including the
availability of other domestic production, crude oil imports, the proximity and
size of oil and gas pipelines in general, other transportation facilities, the
marketing of competitive fuels, and general fluctuations in the supply and
demand for oil and gas. The Company intends to sell all of its production to
traditional industry purchasers, such as pipeline and crude oil companies, who
have facilities to transport the oil and gas from the wellsite.
Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all aspects. The Company will
be competing with major oil companies, numerous independent oil and gas
producers, individual proprietors, and investment programs. Many of these
competitors possess financial and personnel resources substantially in excess of
those which are available to the Company and may, therefore, be able to pay
greater amounts for desirable leases and define, evaluate, bid for and purchase
a greater number of potential producing prospects that the Company's own
resources permit. The Company's ability to generate resources will depend not
only on its ability to develop existing properties but also on its ability to
identify and acquire proven and unproven acreage and prospects for further
exploration.
Environmental Matters and Government Regulations
The Company's operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws
and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Such matters have not
had a material effect on operations of the Company to date, but the Company
cannot predict whether such matters will have any material effect on its capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position in the future.
3
<PAGE>
The production and sale of crude oil and natural gas are currently subject to
extensive regulations of both federal and state authorities. At the federal
level, there are price regulations, windfall profits tax, and income tax laws.
At the state level, there are severance taxes, proration of production, spacing
of wells, prevention and clean-up of pollution and permits to drill and produce
oil and gas. Although compliance with their laws and regulations has not had a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations, the Company cannot predict
whether its future operations will be adversely effected thereby.
Operational Hazards and Insurance
The Company's operations are subject to the usual hazards incident to the
drilling and production of oil and gas, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions,
uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, releases of
toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards can cause
personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property
and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations.
The Company maintains insurance of various types to cover its operations. The
Company's insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with the
drilling and production of oil and gas. In particular, coverage is not
obtainable for certain types of environmental hazards. The occurrence of a
significant adverse event, the risks of which are not fully covered by
insurance, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. Moreover, no assurance can be given that
the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates
it considers reasonable.
Administration
Office Facilities- The office space for the Company's executive offices at 1703
Edelweiss Drive, Cedar Park, Texas 78613, is currently provided by the majority
shareholder at a cost of $750.00 per month as of December 31,1997.
Employees- As of February 28, 1998, the Company had 3 employees, the Company
considers its relationship with its employees satisfactory.
ITEM 2-PROPERTIES
----------
Principal Oil and Gas Interest
Big Muddy Field Converse County Wyoming is a producing oilfield located
approximately thirty miles south of Casper, Wyoming. FieldPoint Petroleum owns a
100% working interest in the Elkhorn and J.C. Kinney lease which consists of 3
oil wells producing out of the Wallcreek and Dakota formations at depth ranging
in general from approximately 3,200 feet to approximately 4,000 feet.
Serbin Field Lee and Bastrop Counties Texas is an oil and gas field located
approximately 50 miles east of Austin and 100 miles west of Houston. The Company
has a working interest in 74 producing oil and gas wells with a production rate
for 1997 of approximately 100 barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") net to the
Company. Oil and gas are produced from the Taylor Sand at depths ranging from
approximately 5,300 feet to approximately 5,600 feet; it is a 46-gravity oil
sand.

does not have any production that is subject to firm commitment contracts.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, purchases by each of three customers,
Dorado Oil Company, Conoco and GPM Gas Corporation, represented more that 10% of
the total Company revenues. Neither of these three customers, or any other
customers of the Company, has a firm sales agreement with the Company. The
Company believes that it would be able to locate alternate customers in the
event of the loss of one or all of these customers.

ITEM 6-MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
---------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Financial Statements, and respective notes thereto, included elsewhere herein.
The information below should not be construed to imply that the results
discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future or that any
conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating
results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present
assessment of the management of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
Overview
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation derives its revenues from its operating
activities including sales of oil and gas and operating oil and gas properties.
The Company's capital for investment in producing oil and gas properties has
been provided by cash flow from operating activities and from bank financing.
The Company categorizes its operating expenses into the categories of production
expenses and other expenses. Due to cost associated with the reverse acquisition
the Company's net expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 were
substantially higher than net expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 1997 to Year Ended December 31, 1996
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operation
Revenues increased 14% or $90,691 to $739,410 for the year ended December 31,
1997, from the comparable 1996 period. Oil production volumes increased by 37%
at the same time the average price per barrel decreased slightly during 1997 to
$19.51 verse the comparable 1996 period average price of $20.10 per barrel. Also
in 1997, the gas production volume decreased by 4% while the average price per
Mcf was $2.00, a 14% increase from the 1996 comparable.

<PAGE>
Year Ended December 31,
1997 1996
---- ----
Oil Production 25,846 18,897
Average Sales Price Per Bbl ($/Bbl) $19.51 $20.10
Gas Production 67,683 65,297
Average Sales Price Per Mcf ($/Mcf) $2.00 $1.76
Production expenses increased 44% or $54,216 to $177,078 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, from the comparable 1996 period. This was to the additional
operations in Wyoming, and additional workovers in the form of remedial repairs.
Total cost and expenses increased 31% or $148,342 to $626,200 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, from the comparable 1996 period. General and administrative
overhead cost increased 29% or $72,230 to $323,890 for the 1997 period verse the
1996 comparable period, due to cost associated with evaluating acquisitions,
legal expense, and additional staff.
Net other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997, was $69,443 compared to
net other expenses of $8,707 for 1996. This was primarily due to expenses
related to the reverse acquisition.
The Company's net income decreased by $91,149 to $23,983 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, from the comparable 1996 period. The decrease in net income
was primarily due to expenses related to the reverse acquisition and the
increase in total cost and expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operating activities remains positive at $67,591 for the year
ended December 31, 1997, although this represents a decrease of $16,282 or 19%
from the year ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in cash flow from operating
activities was primarily due to lower net income.
Cash flow used by investing activities was $99,996 in the period ended December
31, 1997, compared to $95,131 for December 31, 1996. This is primarily due to
the decrease in restricted cash during the period. Cash flow from financing
activities was $23,408 for the period ended December 31, 1997, compared to
$10,328 for the same period in 1996. This was due to increases in long-term
debt.
The worldwide crude oil prices continued to fluctuate in 1997. The Company
cannot predict how prices will vary during 1998 and what effect they will
ultimately have on the Company. However, management believes that the Company
will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service its bank
debt and provide for maintaining current production of its oil and gas
properties.
Commitments for future capital expenditures were not material at December 31,
1997. The timing of most capital expenditures for new operations is relatively
discretionary. Therefore, the Company can plan expenditures to coincide with
available funds in order to minimize business risks.
9
<PAGE>
Capital Requirements
Management believes the Company will be able to meet its current operating needs
through internally generated cash from operations. Management believes that oil
and gas property investing activities in 1998 can be financed through cash on
hand, cash from operating activities, and bank borrowing. The Company
anticipates continued investments in proven oil and gas properties in 1998. If
bank credit is not available, the Company may not be able to continue to invest
in strategic oil and gas properties. The Company cannot predict how oil and gas
prices will fluctuate during 1998 and what effect they will ultimately have on
the Company, but Management believes that the Company will be able to generate
sufficient cash from operations to service its bank debt and provide for
maintaining current production of its oil and gas properties. The Company had no
significant commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 1997.

FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION
(formerly Bass Petroleum, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Organization and Nature of Operations Fieldpoint Petroleum Corporation (the
"Company") is incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado. The
Company is engaged in the acquisition, operation and development of oil and
gas properties, which are located in South-Central Texas and Wyoming as of
December 31, 1997.
The Company began operations as Bass Petroleum, Inc. (Bass) in October
1989. On December 31, 1997, the shareholders of Bass exchanged all their
shares for approximately 97% (including the 6% of EPC previously purchased
by Bass) of Energy Production Company (EPC), a public company, and Bass
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPC (see Note 2). The management of
Bass became the management of the combined company. Concurrent with the
transaction, the Company changed its name to Fieldpoint Petroleum
Corporation and declared a 75 to 1 reverse stock split. Although EPC is the
acquiring entity for legal purposes, Bass is considered the acquirer for
accounting purposes, and the financial statements of the combined company
reflect the historical accounts of Bass and include the operations of EPC
beginning May 22, 1997. However, because EPC is the acquiring entity for
legal purposes, all stockholders' equity information in the accompanying
financial statements and footnotes has been restated to conform to EPC's
capital structure.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Oil and Gas Producing Operations
--------------------------------
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil
and gas producing activities. Costs incurred by the Company related to the
acquisition of oil and gas properties and the cost of drilling successful
wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related
equipment and lease and well operating costs are charged to expense as
incurred. Gains and losses arising from sales of properties are included in
income. Unproved properties are assessed periodically for possible
impairment. Any impaired amounts are charged to expense. The Company had no
unproved properties as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Capitalized amounts attributable to proved oil and gas properties are
depleted by the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.
Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and gas producing property and
related equipment was $111,820 and $90,182 for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.
Capitalized costs are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of
undiscounted future net cash flows in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". If
impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair
value based on expected future discounted cash flows
Joint Interest Billings Receivable and Oil and Gas Revenue Payable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint interest billings receivable represent amounts receivable for lease
operating expenses and other costs due from third party working interest
owners in the wells that the Company operates. The receivable is recognized
when the cost is incurred and the related payable and the Company's share
of the cost is recorded.
F-6
<PAGE>
FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION
(formerly Bass Petroleum, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Oil and gas revenue payable represents amounts due to third party revenue
interest owners for their share of of oil and gas revenue collected on
their behalf by the Company. The payable is recorded when the Company
recognizes oil and gas sales and records the related oil and gas sales
receivable.
Other Property
--------------
Other assets classified as property and equipment are primarily office
furniture and equipment and vehicles, and are carried at cost. Depreciation
is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives
ranging from five to seven years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or
other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of
disposition. Depreciation expense for other property and equipment was
$13,412 and $13,154 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Earnings per share
is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had
outstanding options for 600,000 shares of common stock exercisable at
$.0.10 per share which are not included in the dilutive calculation of
earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
------------
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, if any, plus
net deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of
assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of
those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the
assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets
include recognition of operating losses that are available to offset future
taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future income
taxes. Valuation allowances are recognized to limit recognition of deferred
tax assets where appropriate. Such allowances may be reversed when
circumstances provide evidence that the deferred tax assets will more
likely than not be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
In January 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which
requires recognition of the value of stock options and warrants granted
based on an option pricing model. However, as permitted by SFAS 123, the
Company continues to account for stock options and warrants granted to
directors and employees pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretations. See Note 7.
Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards
----------------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is
defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures,
Statement 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same
F-7
<PAGE>
FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION
(formerly Bass Petroleum, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
prominence as other financial statements. Statement 130 is effective for
financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and
requires comparative information for earlier years to be restated. Because
of the recent issuance of this standard, management has been unable to
fully evaluate the impact, if any, the standard may have on the future
financial statement disclosures. Results of operations and financial
position, however, will be unaffected by implementation of this standard.
Use of Estimates and Certain Significant Estimates
--------------------------------------------------
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation
of proved oil and gas reserves, which as described above may affect the
amount at which oil and gas properties are recorded. It is at least
reasonably possible those estimates could be revised in the near term and
those revisions could be material.
2. ACQUISITION OF ENERGY PRODUCTION COMPANY
----------------------------------------
In May 1997, Bass acquired an 81% interest in EPC, an inactive public
company. Bass acquired approximately 54% of EPC from EPC's controlling
shareholder for $45,000 as well as an additional ownership interest in EPC
in the form of 44,300,000 newly-issued common shares, in exchange for two
oil and gas properties with a cost basis of $23,500, and $5,000 in cash.
The $45,000 cash payment has been charged against operations as EPC had no
identifiable assets at the time of acquisition.
In October 1997, EPC and Bass rescinded the sale of the newly-issued EPC
common shares to Bass. Bass returned the shares to EPC in exchange for
return of the purchase price. After returning the shares, Bass owned 54% of
EPC, or 223,040 shares (which represented an approximate 6% ownership
interest after the reverse acquisition described below).
In December 1997, Bass completed the reverse acquisition as described in
Note 1. After the reverse acquisition, Bass and its shareholders owned 97%
of the common stock of EPC.
From 1980 to 1986, EPC was engaged in the acquisition, development and
operations of oil and gas properties. In December 1986, EPC began to divest
its remaining oil and gas assets and operations and has been relatively
inactive since that time with no significant operating revenues or
operations. Since 1986, the only assets of EPC have been cash and related
party receivables. EPC had a substantial accumulated deficit as of the
acquisition date.
No pro forma financial statements have been prepared to reflect the results
of operations as if EPC had been acquired at the beginning of the period,
because EPC's operations were not material.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
During 1997, the Company acquired various oil and gas interests from its
majority stockholder for $88,000. During 1996, the Company acquired an oil
and gas well from its majority stockholder for $44,000. As partial
consideration, the Company retired a note receivable from the stockholder
of $38,000, which had arisen from a cash advance in 1994.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had a liability to its majority
stockholder of $22,158 for past salary and accrued bonuses.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had a liability to a company controlled
by its majority stockholder of $5,575 for financial services rendered.

The Company rents office space from its majority stockholder. The terms of
the lease are disclosed in Note 9.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had a note payable to a stockholder in
the amount of $13,000 as described in Note 5.
4. ADVANCES FROM GAS PURCHASER
---------------------------
During 1995, the Company received overpayments from a gas purchaser. The
Company and the purchaser agreed that the overpayment of approximately
$128,000 would be repaid without interest in an amount of $10,000 per month
beginning in December 1995. This liability was completely paid in 1996.

Pro Forma Stock-Based Compensation Disclosures
----------------------------------------------
As discussed in Note 1, the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for grants of options to employees
since the exercise prices were not lower than the market prices of the
Company's common stock on the measurement date. Had compensation been
determined based on the estimated fair value at the measurement dates for
awards under those plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No.
123, the Company's December 31, 1997 income and earnings per share would
have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below. There was no
pro forma effect for December 31, 1996.
Net loss:
As reported $ 23,983
Pro forma $ 14,155
Net loss per common share:

8. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
---------------------
The Company is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production and may
become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental clean
up of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they
relate to the drilling of oil and gas wells and the operation thereof. In
the Company's acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the
Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the
time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated.
Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any
environmental clean up or restoration, the liability to cure such a
violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the
Company aware of any liability which the Company may have, as it relates to
any environmental clean up, restoration or the violation of any rules or
regulations relating thereto.
9. COMMITMENTS
-----------
In August 1994, the Company entered into a lease agreement with the
majority stockholder of the Company to rent office space. The lease
extended through July 31, 1997 and has continued thereafter on a
month-to-month basis. The monthly rental was $650 until July 31, 1997 and
$750 thereafter. Rent expense was $9,000 and $7,800 for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company has a $20,000 open letter of credit in
favor of the State of Wyoming as a plugging bond. The letter of credit is
collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the same amount.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's financial instruments are cash, amounts receivable and
payable and long-term debt. Management believes the fair values of these
instruments, with the exception of the long-term debt, approximate the
carrying values, due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Management believes the fair value of long-term debt also reasonably
approximates its carrying value, based on expected cash flows and interest
rates.
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist
principally of receivables. The receivables are primarily from companies in
the oil and gas business or from individual oil and gas investors. These
parties are primarily located in the Southwestern region of the United
States. The Company does not ordinarily require collateral, but in the case
of receivables for joint operations, the Company often has the ability to
offset amounts due against the participant's share of production from the
related property. The Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 is adequate.
The Company had the following concentrations in volume of oil and gas sales
revenue:

Additionally, the four customers above accounted for a total of 97% and 98%
of accrued oil and gas sales as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
11. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED)

The following table, based on information prepared by independent petroleum
engineers, summarizes changes in the estimates of the Company's net
interest in total proved reserves of crude oil and condensate and natural
gas, all of which are domestic reserves:

The foregoing reserves are all classified as proved developed at December
31, 1997 and 1996. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities
of crude oil, condensate and natural gas 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 reserves that can be
expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods. The above estimated net interests in proved reserves are
based upon subjective engineering judgments and may be affected by the
limitations inherent in such estimation. The process of estimating reserves
is subject to continual revision as additional information becomes
available as a result of drilling, testing, reservoir studies and
production history. There can be no assurance that such estimates will not
be materially revised in subsequent periods.
12. STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at December
31, 1997 and 1996, relating to proved oil and gas reserves is set forth
below. The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those
prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and, as such, do not
necessarily reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be
derived from those reserves nor their present worth. The limitations
inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process are equally applicable
to the standardized measure computations since these estimates are the
basis for the valuation process.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
--------------------------
1997 1996
----------- -----------
Future cash inflows $ 4,426,000 $ 3,607,000

=========== ============
Future net cash flows were computed using year-end prices and costs, and
year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for permanent differences) that
relate to existing proved oil and gas reserves at year end. The following
are the principal sources of change in the standardized measure of
discounted net cash flows:
