Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property and Equipment
The Company utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting
for it's oil and gas exploration and development program. Under
this method of accounting, costs of drilling and completing
successful wells are capitalized, while costs of dry holes are
charged to expense when incurred. Depletion and amortization of
producing leasehold and mineral interests and related intangible
development costs are provided by the unit-of-production method
based on estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves prepared
by independent petroleum engineers. Lease and well equipment is
depreciated over its estimated useful life (seven years) by the
straight-line method.
Costs of nonproducing leasehold and mineral interests are not
amortized but are charged to operations when such properties are
abandoned, surrendered, determined to be worthless or transferred
to producing properties and depleted when successfully developed.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold,
retired or otherwise disposed of, applicable costs and
accumulated depreciation and depletion are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Interest Capitalization
Interest costs applicable to the drilling and equipment of in-
progress and shut-in oil and gas wells are capitalized until such
time as the wells begin producing. There were no entries for
interest capitalization during 1998 and 1997.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding.
NOTE 2
NON CASH TRANSACTIONS
The Company had the following non June 30, Dec. 31,
cash transactions during the 1998 1997
periods ending June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997 -0- -0-
NOTE 3
LONG-TERM DEBT
On June 1, 1990, the Company signed a $292,814 promissory note
with Mosbacher Energy Company (MEC) for the amount owed MEC by
General Energy Corporation for well operations as of May 7, 1990.
The note is secured by the Company's interest in eleven producing
properties operated by MEC and bears interest at 7 1/4 percent
per annum. Additional terms of the agreement call for monthly
payments of the lesser of $20,000 or the month's production to
MEC. Based on current production estimates, management expects to
reduce this loan by approximately $208 per month.
NOTE 4
INTERIM STATEMENTS
The Company believes that the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (including appropriate
provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization normally
determined at year end) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as
follows:
June 30,
1997
--------
Loss on Sale of Assets $ 32,146
Interim financials should not necessarily be considered to be
indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
NOTE 5
CONTINGENCIES
The prices of the Company's natural gas production are subject to
the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC). The Company believes it has substantially complied with
regulations as issued.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The Company's total earned revenue for the six months ended June
30, 1998 totaled $65,437. This represents an increase of $19,373
from the same period in 1997 and is largely the result of an
expense reimbursement in the amount of $15,000 recorded in the
six months ended June 30, 1998.
Total expenses decreased $25,108 from $138,621 at June 30, 1997
to $113,513 at June 30, 1998.
The Company's net profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998
increased $44,481 from ($92,557) at June 30, 1997 to ($48,076) at
June 30, 1998.
Liquidity/Capital Resources
Net cash from operating activities increased $64,021 to $1,501 at
June 30, 1998 compared to ($62,520) at June 30, 1997.
Management feels that cash flows will be sufficient to pay
current operating liabilities and to amortize the remaining
current portion of it's long-term debt.
Management has developed contingency plans to obtain additional
capital by the issuance of debt or sale of equities to the extent
that these actions become necessary in the future.
