                            Form 10-KSB Annual Report

                          Year ended December 31, 1999

                                     Part I

Item 1.    Description of Business

           General  American  Geological  Enterprises,  Inc. (AGE) is engaged in
           activities designed to identify and acquire  geotherma  and  oil  and
           gas leases.

           Activities  undertaken  to identify  such leases  have  consisted  of
           searches  of  pertinent  geological   literature,   maps  and  aerial
           photographs,  construction of maps, and  confirmatory  fieldwork.  In
           connection  with  leasehold   acquisitions,   AGE's  activities  have
           included  examination of title  documents,  location and  negotiation
           with landowners, and preparation of leases.

           These  activities are performed by unsalaried  officers and directors
           of AGE. AGE proposes to continue  these  activities  and to intensify
           its  promotional  efforts with respect to possible  joint ventures at
           selected leasehold sites.

           AGE  holds a 5.49  percent  working  interest  in the  Roosevelt  Hot
           Springs  geothermal  power unit (the  Unit).  On July 22,  1993,  AGE
           agreed to sell on a  prepayment  basis its steam  from the Unit for a
           30-year  period to  PacifiCorp,  which has  constructed  the Blundell
           power plant to utilize the steam.  Certain leases have been committed
           to the Unit, of which 188 acres are within the participating area.

           Competition  Competition for energy leases is intense, and many large
           oil and gas companies, with financial and technical resources greater
           than those of AGE, are now engaged, or have indicated an intention to
           engage, in the acquisition of energy leases.

           Regulations  AGE is not currently  engaged in energy  exploration  or
           development.  Should it later enter into such activities,  it will be
           subject to Federal,  state,  and local  regulations  with  respect to
           environmental matters.

Item 2.    Description of Property

           The primary  asset AGE holds  representing  its 5.49 percent  working
           interest in the Unit is a patented  mining claim on 188 acres that is
           within the current participating area of the Unit. AGE pays royalties
           on this claim equal to 5 percent of its net operating and maintenance
           revenue and is reimbursed for these royalties by PacifiCorp.

           AGE held all  mineral  (including  geothermal)  rights in leases that
           expired in 1991. However,  certain leases were assigned to subsequent
           parties and AGE retained an overriding interest in the royalties from
           productive land. As of December 31, 1999,  approximately 450 acres of
           land in Central Utah  continued to be productive and AGE continues to
           receive the related royalty  payments which  aggregated $404 in 1999.
           AGE will  continue  to  receive  these  overriding  interest  royalty
           payments as long as the land remains productive.

           In addition, AGE holds mineral rights in two leases that are directly
           adjacent to the  current  participating  area of the Unit.  AGE makes
           annual lease payments for these two leases totaling $97 per year.

                                     Part II

Item 5.    Market For Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

           a)  The market in which the common stock of the  Registrant is traded
               is the  "over-the-counter"  market.  During  the last two  years,
               there were no established "bid" or "asked" prices and trading was
               done primarily on a negotiated basis.

           b)  The  approximate  number of  holders  of  common  stock of AGE at
               December 31, 1999 is 702.


Item 6.    Management's Discussion and Analysis

           AGE is  engaged  in the  acquisition  of  geothermal  and oil and gas
           leases.  Revenue consists of royalties and interest.  AGE's financial
           condition  and  results of  operations  fluctuate  from year to year,
           depending upon the production from current leases,  the  availability
           of leases to be acquired,  and the  opportunity to sell lease rights.
           AGE's ability to obtain  future  leases or to generate  revenues from
           the sale of lease rights is not  determinable;  hence,  its financial
           condition and operations may fluctuate widely in the future.

           Results of Operations - Years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
           --------------------------------------------------------------

           Revenues  from the Unit  represent  sales  of steam  production  that
           fluctuate based on the activity and production of the Unit.  Revenues
           for fiscal year 1999 are fairly  consistent  with the previous year's
           revenues.  Net income  decreased  to $43,909 in 1999 from  $82,219 in
           1998.  This  was due to an  increase  in  operating  and  maintenance
           expenses,  a decrease in dividend  income,  and a decrease in general
           and  administrative  expense  due to stock  issued  to  officers  and
           directors  in-lieu of cash for their past  services  rendered to AGE.
           These were considered normal fluctuations in investment and operating
           activity.

           Royalty Income
           --------------

           AGE owns seven oil and gas leases, all of which have been assigned to
           Barrett  Resources.  Pursuant to these  assignments,  AGE retained an
           overriding  interest in royalties from  productive  land; and for the
           year ended December 31, 1999, AGE received $404 in override  interest
           royalty payments.

           Liquidity
           ---------

           AGE's  liquidity at December 31, 1999,  is  considered  adequate with
           $1,208,352 in working  capital.  AGE believes that it has  sufficient
           resources to cover its cash needs during fiscal year 2000.

           Commitments
           -----------

           AGE's future commitments consist of lease payments on land. There are
           no other commitments or anticipated expenditures of a capital nature,
           other than the  commitment  related to the  agreement for the sale of
           steam discussed above.

           External Factors
           ----------------

           AGE's  economic  future will be  dependent,  in major part,  upon the
           value of its  undeveloped  interests  in the Unit.  The value of such
           undeveloped  interests will, in turn, be dependent upon,  among other
           matters,   (i)  the  current  price  of  energy,   (ii)  governmental
           incentives  to  develop   renewable   resources,   (iii)   regulatory
           incentives, and (iv) the load needs of PacifiCorp.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
American Geological Enterprises, Inc.:


We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  American
Geological  Enterprises,  Inc. and subsidiary  (AGE) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related  consolidated  statements of income,  stockholders' equity
and  comprehensive  income,  and cash  flows for the  years  then  ended.  These
consolidated  financial  statements are the  responsibility of AGE's management.
Our  responsibility  is to express an  opinion on these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of AGE as of December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for
the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

              Marketable  investment  securities  consist of corporate  debt and
              equity   securities.   AGE  classifies  its  debt   securities  as
              "held-to-maturity"     and     all     other     securities     as
              "available-for-sale."

              Available-for-sale   securities   are   recorded  at  fair  value.
              Held-to-maturity  securities are recorded at cost adjusted for the
              amortization  or accretion of premiums and  discounts.  Unrealized
              holding  gains and  losses,  net of the  related  tax  effect,  on
              available-for-sale  securities  are  excluded  from income and are
              reported   as   accumulated   other   comprehensive    income   in
              stockholders' equity until realized.

              A decline in the market value of any  available-for-sale  security
              below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary  results in a
              reduction  in carrying  amount to fair value.  The  impairment  is
              charged  to  income  and a new  cost  basis  for the  security  is
              established.  Dividend and  interest  income are  recognized  when
              earned.

       (c)    Investment in Geothermal Power Unit

              AGE holds a 5.49 percent  working  interest in the  Roosevelt  Hot
              Springs  geothermal  power unit (the Unit).  The investment in the
              Unit is being  amortized using the  straight-line  method over the
              term (30 years) of the steam sale agreement with PacifiCorp  (note
              6).

       (d)    Lease Costs

              Annual lease  payments are expensed  over the period of the lease.
              Direct  costs of  acquisition  of new leases are  capitalized  and
              amortized over the initial life of the lease.

       (e)    Cash Equivalents

              Cash equivalents  include all investments with original maturities
              to AGE of three months or less.

                           December 31, 1999 and 1998



       (f)    Net Income Per Share

              Basic net income per common  share is the amount of net income for
              the period  available  to each share of common  stock  outstanding
              during the reporting period.  Diluted net income per common share,
              if  applicable,  is  the  amount  of net  income  for  the  period
              available  to each share of common  stock  outstanding  during the
              reporting   period   and  to  each  share  that  would  have  been
              outstanding  assuming  the  issuance  of  common  shares  for  all
              dilutive  potential common shares  outstanding  during the period.
              For fiscal years 1999 and 1998, only the basic income per share is
              applicable,  as AGE  had no  potentially  dilutive  common  shares
              outstanding.  Basic net  income per share  computations  are based
              upon  1,380,997 and  1,260,977  shares  outstanding  for the years
              ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       (g)    Consolidation Policy

              AGE  owns  83.8  percent   interest  in   Overthrust   Exploration
              Corporation   (Overthrust),   a   Nevada   corporation   that  was
              incorporated  to explore for and  develop oil and gas  properties.
              Accordingly,  Overthrust  has been  included  in the  consolidated
              financial  statements.   All  directors  of  Overthrust  are  also
              directors of AGE. All  intercompany  accounts have been eliminated
              in consolidation.

       (h)    Comprehensive Income

              Effective  January 1, 1998,  AGE adopted  Statement  of  Financial
              Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS
              No. 130).  This statement  establishes  rules for the reporting of
              comprehensive  income  and its  components.  Comprehensive  income
              consists   of  net   income   and   unrealized   losses  on  AGE's
              available-for-sale securities and is presented in the consolidated
              statement of stockholders'  equity and comprehensive  income.  The
              adoption  of SFAS No.  130 had no  impact  on total  stockholders'
              equity.

       (i)    Use of Estimates

              Management of AGE has made estimates and  assumptions  relating to
              the  reporting  of  assets  and   liabilities   to  prepare  these
              consolidated  financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
              accepted accounting  principles.  Actual results could differ from
              those estimates.

(3)      Fair Value of Financial Instruments

       The carrying  value for certain  short-term  financial  instruments  that
       mature frequently  approximates  fair value.  Such financial  instruments
       include:  cash and cash equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  and accounts
       payable.  The fair values of debt  securities and equity  investments are
       based on quoted market prices at the reporting  date for those or similar
       investments (see note 2).

(4)    Land Leases

       The  primary  asset  AGE  holds  representing  its 5.49  percent  working
       interest  in the Unit is a  patented  mining  claim on 188 acres  that is
       within the current  participating area of the Unit. AGE pays royalties on
       this  claim  equal to 5  percent  of its net  operating  and  maintenance
       revenue and is reimbursed for these royalties by PacifiCorp.

       In  addition,  AGE holds  mineral  rights in two leases that are directly
       adjacent to the  current  participating  area of the Unit.  AGE now makes
       annual lease payments on these two leases totaling $97 per year.

       AGE held all mineral (including geothermal) rights in leases that expired
       in 1991. However,  certain leases were assigned to subsequent parties and
       AGE retained an  overriding  interest in the  royalties  from  productive
       land. As of December 31, 1999, approximately 450 acres of land in Central
       Utah  continues to be productive and AGE continues to receive the related
       royalty payments which aggregated $404 in 1999 and $432 in 1998. AGE will
       continue to receive these overriding interest royalty payments as long as
       the land remains productive.

(6)    Geothermal Power Unit and Concentration of Credit

       AGE entered  into an  agreement  on July 22,  1993,  to sell its share of
       steam from the Unit for a

       30-year  period on a  prepayment  basis  commencing  January  22, 1991 to
       PacifiCorp, which has constructed the Blundell power plant to utilize the
       steam.  The advance  received  is being  recognized  as revenue  over the
       remaining term of the  agreement.  Revenue of  approximately  $42,000 was
       amortized and recognized for both 1999 and 1998.

       AGE  is  required  to  pay  its  proportionate  share  of  operating  and
       maintenance  expenses to the operator of the Unit. AGE paid operating and
       maintenance  expenses  of  approximately  $56,000 and $50,000 in 1999 and
       1998, respectively.

       Additionally,  PacifiCorp pays AGE for operating and maintenance services
       and a reimbursement of royalties for one lease AGE holds that is included
       in the Unit. PacifiCorp paid AGE approximately $129,000 for both 1999 and
       1998, for operating and maintenance  services that is reported as revenue
       from the  Unit.  Royalties  due are  equal to five  percent  of AGE's net
       operating and  maintenance  revenue.  PacifiCorp  paid AGE  approximately
       $3,700 and  $3,900 in 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  for these  royalties
       which AGE, in turn, paid to its lessors.
