     Pursuant to a rights offering conducted by the Issuer and the commitment 
of International Hydrocarbons to purchase all securities offered pursuant to 
the rights offering but not subscribed for by other stockholders (see item 4 
below), International Hydrocarbons, a wholly owned subsidiary of NWO 
Resources, Inc. purchased 3,198,695 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for 
$319,870 in cash from funds borrowed from NWO Resources, Inc. from its 
working capital.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     The Issuer offered to the holders of its outstanding Common Stock of 
record at the close of business on January 16, 1996 (the "Record Date"), the 
right to subscribe for and purchase at a price of $.10 per share 1.5325 
shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held of record on the 
Record Date and a prorata portion of any of the offered shares not subscribed 
for by other stockholders. International Hydrocarbons, the Company's 
principal stockholder, entered into a firm commitment to purchase all shares 
of Common Stock offered to the Issuer's stockholders but not purchased by 
other stockholders pursuant to the offering.  Since all of the offered shares 
of Common Stock were sold pursuant to the offering, International 
Hydrocarbons acquired no shares pursuant to its firm commitment but acquired 
3,198,695 shares pursuant to its rights as a stockholder.  The offering 
raised gross proceeds of $600,100 to be used by the Issuer to fund future

advances to the Issuer for legal fees, including accrued interest up to 
$100,000, and pay accounts payable.
