     Item 1. Description of Business
     -------------------------------

(a)  Business Development.

     Cogenco International, Inc. ("Cogenco" or the "Company") was organized
under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 27, 1983, for the purpose of
engaging in the cogeneration business, which is the simultaneous production of
power, either mechanical or electrical, and useful thermal energy, such as
steam, so that the waste heat which is a by-product of one process becomes the
energy source for the other. Cogenco commenced active business operations after
it completed its initial public offering of securities in February of 1985,
pursuant to which the Company realized total net proceeds of approximately
$1,000,000.

     Cogenco was not successful in the cogeneration business, although it
completed one cogeneration facility in Arvada, Colorado, and investigated
numerous other cogeneration project opportunities. Cogenco eventually depleted
its financial resources and was not able to secure

                                       3
<PAGE>


additional capital to continue active business operations. Cogenco ceased active
business operations in early 1988. The Company has been attempting to locate a
business opportunity to combine with the Company since that time.

     During the time subsequent to cessation of active business activities,
Cogenco has been maintained as a validly existing Colorado corporation. Its
activities have consisted primarily of the settlement of debts incurred by the
Company through the date it ceased active operations and subsequently, and the
maintenance of books and records to allow the Company to obtain audited
financial statements for all years since inception. In addition, the Company's
president has continuously sought to locate potential business opportunities for
the Company.

     Meetings of shareholders of the Company were held in February 1992 and
August 1993 at which restructurings of the Company's authorized and outstanding
capital were approved. Share numbers in this Report have been restated to
reflect the recapitalizations approved by the Company's shareholders in February
1992 (50 for 1 reverse split) and August 1993 (10 for 1 reverse split).

(b)  Business of Issuer.

     Since the time it ceased active business operations in 1988, management of
Cogenco has been actively seeking business opportunities. Several potential
candidates were located between 1988 and the present time; however, no
combination with any of these companies was ever completed.

     The Company has engaged in limited activities in the oil and gas business
but has been hampered in its efforts due to its lack of capital. It is likely
that the Company will need a substantial amount of additional capitalization
before it will be able to participate in any activities in the oil and gas
industry. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain any additional
capitalization.

     In addition, Cogenco may serve as the sponsor and/or general partner of
programs and/or entities which will actually operate in the oil and gas
business. This may take the form of limited and/or general partnerships, working
interest programs, joint ventures or other methods of acquiring interests in oil
and gas properties and financing the operation thereof.

Competition
-----------

     Upon entering the oil and gas business through acquisition of interests in
oil and gas properties as described above (of which, however, there can be no
assurance), the Company will be in competition with numerous companies and firms
which are larger, better established, have greater financial and other
resources, more employees, and more extensive facilities than will the Company.
The Company will therefore be at a competitive disadvantage to these other
entities. The Company cannot expect to be a significant participant in the oil
and gas business within the

                                       4
<PAGE>


foreseeable future and will face significant competition from a substantial
number of businesses and individuals who are engaged in the oil and gas
business.

Government Regulation
---------------------

     The oil and gas business is heavily regulated by statute and regulation by
various government entities, both state and federal. In addition, tax treatment
of investments in oil and gas properties is constantly undergoing change at the
federal level. Although management believes that despite such regulation, the
oil and gas business can be profitable, and that oil and gas companies of the
size anticipated for the Company can and do operate successfully in the
industry, no assurance can be given that such governmental regulation may not
adversely affect the Company in the future.

Employees and Consultants
-------------------------

     The Company's President, Mr. David Brenman, is the only person who is
actively involved in day to day operations of the Company. Management
anticipates that additional employees and/or consultants will be retained as may
be necessary to operate the Company. The Company believes that this arrangement
is adequate to meet the needs of the Company during its process of pursuing
business opportunities.

Year 2000 Issue
---------------

     The Company's management does not believe that the Company will be
materially adversely affected by the computer software Year 2000 issue. The
Company has not had any problems in connection with the Year 2000 issue. The
Company's vendors and suppliers may have some exposure to the issue but at this
time, management does not anticipate any adverse impact on the Company's
operations. The Company believes that some of its software and hardware may not
be Year 2000 compliant and intends to upgrade its hardware and software, as
necessary to achieve Year 2000 compliance. It is believed that costs to upgrade
the Company's hardware and software will not materially effect the results of
operations.

Item 2. Description of Property
-------------------------------

     The Company currently maintains its offices at no charge in the business
office of the law firm which represents it in general corporate and securities
law matters. See Item 12 - "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The
office facilities are provided to the Company pursuant to an oral agreement, and
the value of such facilities is de minimis. Management believes that this
arrangement will be suitable for its needs for the immediate future.

     The Company owns no real property and no material personal property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-------------------------

     The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings and no such proceedings
are known to be contemplated.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
------------------------------------------------------------

     None.

                                     PART II


Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
----------------------------------------------------------------

(a)  Market Information.

     The Company's Common Stock is not eligible for listing on the NASDAQ
system, and trading, if any, has been strictly limited to the over-the-counter
market. The Common Stock has been quoted from time to time in the "Pink Sheets"
maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. Since 1988, management
believes that no established trading market has existed for the Company's Common
Stock.

(b)  Holders.

     (b)(1) The approximate number of record holders of the Company's Common
Stock, $.01 par value, as of May 10, 2000 was 839. This figure does not reflect
an indeterminable number of shareholders whose shares are held in "street name."

(c)  Dividends.

     The Company has not paid a dividend with respect to its Common Stock and
cannot be expected to pay a dividend on its Common Stock in the foreseeable
future.

     The Company's ability to pay dividends is restricted by provisions of the
Colorado Business Corporation Act which provides that a Colorado corporation may
only pay dividends if, after giving effect to the dividend, the corporation
would be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of
business, or the corporation's total assets would be less than its total
liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be
dissolved at the time of the dividend, to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those
receiving the dividend.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations

Years Ended March 31,1999 and 2000.
-----------------------------------

     As stated above, the Company has been essentially inactive since early 1988
until the 1993 fiscal year. During this time the Company was, and since has
been, investigating investment alternatives in the oil and gas industry but has
been unsuccessful. As a result, during the last two fiscal years the Company
achieved no operating revenues, but recognized a net loss of $(23,662) for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 as compared to a net loss of $(8,177) for the
fiscal year

                                       7
<PAGE>


ended March 31, 2000. The larger net loss during the 1999 fiscal year was due to
travel expenses of $7,515 paid to the Company's President in 1999 as compared to
$-0- paid in 2000, legal fees of $12,336 in 1999 and $4,211 in 2000, and general
and administrative of $7,904 in 1999 and $7,555 in 2000. The Company is
attempting to finance new business operations at the present time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has been without adequate funds since 1987. At the time it
ceased active business operations, it was essentially out of money and has been
unable to raise any substantial amounts of money since that time. The Company
settled a substantial portion of its outstanding debt for shares of its stock,
and for cash raised in selling its stock in private placements. In July 1993,
the Company raised $500,000 from one unaffiliated investor.

Plan of Operation

     In July 1993, the Company raised $500,000 from the sale of 50,000 shares of
its Common Stock. Certain persons who became control shareholders invested a
total of $185,000 in shares of the Company's Common Stock in early 1993. Such
individuals subsequently have sold their shares of Common Stock to two
unaffiliated entities, one of whom has transferred 543,334 to Brenman Bromberg &
Tenenbaum, P. C. for legal services performed for one of the individuals. Prior
to the disposition of the shares held by these control shareholders, they had
expressed their desire to have the Company consider the acquisition of interests
in oil and gas properties and the entry into the oil and gas industry. As a
result, the Company entered into letters of intent with an operating oil
company. Since the Company was unable to meet the financial requirements of the
letters of intent, the agreements terminated without additional obligations to
the Company.

     The Company will continue reviewing opportunities in the oil and gas
industry. However, the Company may propose other investments in companies having
interests other than oil and gas. Because the Company may need a substantial
amount of capital from third parties, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to invest in other business opportunities.

     As of this date, the Company has not identified any properties to be
acquired at the present time. Until properties are acquired, the Company's
available cash is expected to satisfy its cash requirements during the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2001. For more information, see Item 1 - "Description of
Business."

unexercised in 1990. No stock bonuses were ever granted under the stock bonus

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



   The Board of Directors and Shareholders
   Cogenco International, Inc.


   We  have  audited  the  balance  sheet  of  Cogenco  International,  Inc.  (a
   development  stage  company) as of March 31,  1999 and 2000,  and the related
   statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the years
   then ended and for the period from inception of the  development  stage (July
   26,  1990)  through  March  31,  1999.  These  financial  statements  are the
   responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
   an opinion on these financial statements based upon 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
   all material respects, the financial position of Cogenco International,  Inc.
   as of March 31, 1999 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash
   flows  for  the  years  then  ended  and the  period  from  inception  of the
   development  stage  through  March 31, 2000,  in  conformity  with  generally
   accepted accounting principles.

1. Significant accounting policies
----------------------------------

   Organization:

   Cogenco International,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
   Colorado on June 27, 1983. Prior to July 26, 1990, the Company was engaged in
   the   development  of  cogeneration  of  electricity  and  the  sale  of  the
   electricity  to  end-users  on site or to public  utilities.  The  Company is
   currently  considered to be in the development stage as more fully defined in
   the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  Statement No. 7. The Company has
   engaged  in  limited  activities  in the oil and  gas  business,  but has not
   generated  significant  revenues to date.  The Company is  currently  seeking
   business opportunities.

   Use of estimates:

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
   contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
   the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the reporting  period.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Fair value of financial instruments:

   The carrying  amount of cash and cash  equivalents  is assumed to approximate
   fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments.

   Loss per share:

   Net loss per common share is based on the weighted  average  number of shares
   outstanding during each period.

   Income taxes:

   The Company accounts for income taxes using a liability  approach under which
   deferred  income  taxes are  provided  based upon  enacted tax laws and rates
   applicable to the periods in which the taxes become payable.

   Cash flows:

   For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
   liquid debt instruments  purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
   be cash equivalents.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             March 31, 1999 and 2000



1. Significant accounting policies (continued)
----------------------------------------------

   Concentrations of credit risk:

   Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
   of credit risk consist  principally of cash. The Company places its cash with
   high  quality  financial  institutions,  which  deposits  are  insured  up to
   $100,000 per institution by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

   Computer equipment:

   Computer equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the Company
   on straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives of three
   to five years.

2. Stockholders' equity
-----------------------

   Stock issuances:

   On March 4,  1993,  the  Company  entered  into a letter of  intent  with two
   individuals,  previously  unrelated  to the  Company,  pursuant  to which the
   individuals  agreed to provide funding to the Company of $175,000.  1,610,000
   shares of common  stock  were  issued  for the  $175,000  subscription  price
   (approximately $.11 per share). These individuals have sold 483,334 shares to
   the Company's  president,  40,000 shares to a former director of the Company,
   transferred  543,333  shares  to a non  affiliated  company  and  transferred
   543,333  shares to the  Company's  law firm for services  performed  for that
   individual.

   The two individuals  agreed to advance $10,000 per month to pay the Company's
   President for time and services  rendered in connection with the operation of
   the Company prior to  consummation  of the above  transaction.  The Company's
   President  was paid $50,000  ($10,000 per month) from  December  1992 through
   April 1993  pursuant to the letter of intent.  The  $50,000  was  recorded as
   additional paid-in capital and consulting  expense.  The two individuals also
   loaned  $100,000  to the  Company,  due  upon  demand  with no  interest  and
   unsecured. This loan was repaid in full in March 1993.

   On July 6,  1993,  the  Company  issued  50,000  shares of its $.01 par value
   common stock to a previously  unrelated  individual for cash consideration of
   $500,000, in a private offering.

3. Income taxes
---------------

   No provision  for income taxes is required for the years ended March 31, 1999
   and 2000 or the period  from  inception  of the  development  stage (July 26,
   1990)  through  March 31, 2000 because the Company has incurred net operating
   losses for the periods.  The net  operating  losses  generated may be carried
   forward to offset future taxable  income.  The amount of  carryforwards  from
   1993 and prior years that may be used in the future will be limited  pursuant
   to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
   1993 and prior aggregate net operating loss  carryforward  for Federal income
   tax reporting  purposes is limited to approximately  $177,000,  of which only
   $11,800  may be used in any one year.  If not used to offset  future  taxable
   income, the carryforwards will expire as follows:

                    2003                          $ 19,000
                    2004                            36,000
