(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 which has been 
derived from audited statements and the unaudited interim consolidated 
financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain 
information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and 
regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures made are 
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments consisting of normal reoccurring accruals have 
been made which are necessary for the fair presentation of the periods 
presented.  The accounting policies of the Registrant are set forth in the 
financial statements and notes thereto and are included in the Registrant's 
latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.  It is suggested that these consolidated 
financial statements be read in conjunction with that document.

(2)  OIL AND GAS SALES - GREECE

     Effective January 1, 1993, the operator of the Greek properties 
negotiated an agreement with the Greek government which amended the original 
license agreement entered into in June 1975 (the "License Agreement").  The 
amendment provides for a sliding scale for calculating the operator's 
recoverable costs and expenses and for the calculation of the Greek royalty 
interest.  Denison Mines, Ltd. ("Denison"), the working interest owner 
having the contractual obligation to the Registrant for the 15% net profits 
interest, (also called "Prinos Interest" in some parts of this Report) 
asserted that the calculation of the amounts due to the Registrant should be 
based on the amended agreement with the Greek government.  The Registrant 
disagreed with this interpretation and commenced a legal action in Canada 
seeking a declaration by the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) in 
Toronto, Canada (the "Court") that amounts due the Registrant attributable to 
its 15% net profits interest be calculated based on the terms of the License 
Agreement before this amendment.  In December 1996, the Registrant received 
notification that the Court had issued a judgment in its favor.  The Court 
ordered Denison to pay approximately $6,100,000 including interest to the 
Registrant for the period from January 1, 1993 through December 13, 1996 and 
to make payments to the Registrant subsequent to December 13, 1996 also based 
on the terms of the original License Agreement.  The Court also awarded court 
costs to the Registrant which are anticipated to be approximately $107,000 
plus interest.  Denison subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal requesting that 
the judgment be set aside.  Therefore, it appears that the final 
determination will likely have to be made by the Appellate Court.  While the 
Registrant believes it has a reasonable probability of prevailing in its 
action, the 

                                       6
<PAGE>

ultimate outcome of the matter cannot presently be determined.  Accordingly, 
no amounts have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements for current revenues or damages, if any, that may ultimately be 
awarded to the Registrant.

     In January 1998, the Registrant was notified by Denison that 1998 may be 
the final year of production for the Greek properties.  In the final year of 
production, Denison is entitled to 100% cost recovery; consequently, the 
Registrant will not receive any payments for its net profits interest in the 
final year.  In anticipation of such, Denison has ceased remitting monthly 
payments to the Registrant.  In response, the Registrant has notified Denison 
that this action is inappropriate prior to the formal declaration to the 
Greek government that 1998 is the final year.  Should the consortium drill 
and successfully develop additional exploration prospects in the offshore 
Greece property, or otherwise extend the productive life of the property, the 
Registrant would be entitled to once again receive its 15% net profits 
interest.

(3)  NOTES PAYABLE TO AFFILIATE

     Notes payable to affiliate at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 represent 
borrowings under a $2,000,000 line of credit established in favor of the 
Registrant by NWO Resources, Inc. ("NWO"), the parent company of 
International Hydrocarbons, the Registrant's majority stockholder.  The NWO 
line of credit provides for cumulative draws of up to $2,000,000 with 
interest payable monthly on the outstanding balance at the greater of the 
U.S. bank prime lending rate or 1-3/4% above the 30-day LIBOR.  The line of 
credit is secured by the Registrant's 15% net profits interest in the 
offshore Greece oil and gas property and all proceeds from the pending 
litigation.  Prior to the end of fiscal year 1995, the Registrant's credit 
line was exhausted and the Registrant had no resources to make monthly 
interest payments on the advances under the line of credit.

     In September 1995, the Registrant entered into a Modification Agreement 
with NWO (the "Modification Agreement") concerning the line of credit.  The 
Modification Agreement provided that NWO would forbear collection of 
principal and interest on the line of credit until December 31, 1996.  In 
addition, the annual interest rate was adjusted to 8.25%.  In exchange, the 
Registrant was required to pursue funding from the sale of additional shares 
of its common stock, which offering was subsequently completed.

     In December 1996, an Extension Agreement was executed extending the 
period of time during which NWO would forbear collection of principal and 
interest until March 31, 1997.  In March 1997, another Extension Agreement 
was executed extending the forbearance period until March 31, 1998.  This 
agreement allows the Registrant to retain 50% of all net profits interest 
payments from Denison, with the remaining amount to be paid to NWO.  In 
February 1998, a third extension agreement was executed extending the 
forbearance period until March 31, 1999.  This agreement allows the 
Registrant to draw an additional $350,000 for general working capital 
purposes and to defer all interest payments until maturity.

     As of June 30, 1998, the outstanding loan balance was $902,636.  Even if 
payments were to resume under the Prinos Interest as calculated under the 
terms of the amended License Agreement, 

                                       7
<PAGE>

the Registrant does not believe that at current production and price levels, 
the Prinos Interest will generate funds sufficient to repay the obligations 
owed to NWO by March 31, 1999.

(4)  INCOME TAXES

     Income tax benefit (expense) consists of the following:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, the Registrant's principal source of revenue has been from 
its Prinos Interest.  The Registrant also receives revenues from sales of 
seismic data gathered in its oil and gas exploration and development 
activities. That revenue is sporadic and is not sufficient to fund the 
Registrant's ongoing operations.  There have been no sales of seismic data 
during the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 or the year ended March 31, 
1998.

     The Registrant currently receives approximately $460,000 per year in 
connection with services it provides to Cordillera Corporation and San Miguel 
Valley Corporation pursuant to management agreements providing for 
reimbursement of costs for actual time and expenses incurred in activities 
conducted on behalf of those entities.  The amounts received under the 
management agreements are a reimbursement for employee salaries and other 
operating expenses.

     Unless funds are collected as a result of the litigation with Denison or 
the revenue stream is resumed under the Prinos Interest as calculated under 
the original License Agreement, the Registrant will be required to obtain 
additional capital to fund continuing operations beyond March 1999 and to pay 
off the NWO loan and accrued interest when due on March 31, 1999.  Due to the 
uncertainties regarding the outcome of the litigation and the Registrant's 
ability to obtain additional financing to fund its future operations and 
repay the amounts due to NWO, in the event the judgment is overturned on 
appeal, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Registrant to 
continue as a 

                                       8
<PAGE>

going concern. Accordingly, the Registrant's auditors have issued an opinion 
on the Registrant's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1998 
that includes an explanatory paragraph discussing the uncertainty regarding 
the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial 
statements do not contain any adjustments that may be necessary if the 
Registrant is unable to continue as a going concern.

     When payments for the net profits interest were suspended in 1994, the 
Registrant funded its operations through draws against the line of credit 
established with NWO.  Prior to the end of fiscal year 1995, the Registrant's 
credit line was exhausted.  During the first half of fiscal year 1996, the 
Registrant had no resources to make monthly interest payments on the advances 
under the line of credit.

     On September 19, 1995, the Registrant entered into the Modification 
Agreement with NWO.  The Modification Agreement, secured by the Registrant's 
Prinos Interest and all proceeds from the Registrant's lawsuit against 
Denison, provided for limited funding of litigation expenses and temporary 
relief from any collection actions by NWO.  The Modification Agreement also 
allowed the Registrant to retain up to $200,000 of any proceeds received for 
its net profits interest for general working capital purposes. 

     In February 1998, the Registrant executed an Extension Agreement to the 
Modification Agreement whereby NWO agreed to forbear any collection 
proceedings on the line of credit until March 31, 1999.  In addition, this 
agreement allows the Registrant to draw an additional $350,000 in principal 
for general working capital purposes and to defer further principal and 
interest payments until maturity.  Although these funds should be sufficient 
to fund the litigation and limited operations through at least March 31, 
1999, the Registrant will be required to obtain additional capital to fund 
continuing operations beyond March 1999 and pay off the NWO loan and accrued 
interest.

     As of June 30, 1998, the outstanding loan balance was $902,636.  Even if 
payments were to resume under the Prinos Interest as calculated under the 
terms of the amended License Agreement, the Registrant does not believe that 
at current production and price levels, the Prinos Interest will generate 
funds sufficient to repay the obligations owed to NWO by March 31, 1999. 
     
     The Registrant's net profits interest in the offshore Greece property is 
currently the subject of litigation.  In June 1994, the Registrant commenced 
legal action against the company having the contractual obligation to pay the 
net profits interest.  The Registrant was seeking a declaration by the Court 
that amounts due the Registrant attributable to its interest be calculated 
based on the terms of the License Agreement prior to a 1993 amendment agreed 
to by the consortium and the Greek government.  In September 1996, the 
lawsuit went to trial.  In December 1996, the Registrant received 
notification that the Court had rendered a judgment in the Registrant's 
favor.  The defendant subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal requesting that 
the judgment be set aside.  Therefore, it appears that the final 
determination will likely be made by the Appellate Court.  While the 
Registrant believes there is a reasonable probability of prevailing in the 
litigation, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined at this 
time. 

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Even if a final determination in the Registrant's favor is obtained, of 
which there is no assurance, there is no guarantee that the Registrant would 
be able to collect that judgment and, if able to collect, when the judgment 
would be actually collected.  Previously, it appeared, based on Denison's 
public filings, that the financial stability of Denison was questionable and 
that Denison continued to operate at the sufferance of its secured creditors. 
Based upon more recent public filings, however, it appears that Denison's 
debt restructuring approved in 1995 may have been successful in preserving 
Denison as a going concern.  This restructuring may also increase the 
likelihood that Denison would have assets available for satisfaction of a 
judgment in favor of the Registrant.  However, the Registrant does not have 
sufficient information to determine whether any assets of Denison are 
unencumbered and available for satisfaction of a final determination in favor 
of the Registrant.          

     If the final determination is not favorable, the Registrant will still 
be entitled to its Prinos Interest. However, even if the net profits interest 
payments resume, it is uncertain if the payments made under the Prinos 
Interest as calculated under the terms of the amended License Agreement at 
current production and price levels will be sufficient to repay the 
obligations to NWO. The Registrant may be forced to liquidate its assets, and 
in such case, little if any assets would be available for distribution to 
shareholders.

     In January 1998, Denison notified the Registrant that based upon current 
price and production levels, it anticipates that 1998 may be the final year 
of production for the Prinos and Prinos North Fields.  In the final year of 
production, Denison is entitled to 100% cost recovery; consequently, the 
Registrant will not receive any payments for its net profits interest.  In 
anticipation of such, Denison ceased remitting net profits interest payments 
to the Registrant.  In response, the Registrant has notified the working 
interest owner that this action is inappropriate prior to the formal 
declaration to the Greek government of 1998 being the final year.  Should the 
consortium drill and successfully develop the new exploration prospects in 
the offshore Greece property or otherwise extend the life of the property, 
the Registrant would be entitled to once again receive its 15% net profits 
interest.
     
     If the litigation with Denison is resolved in the Registrant's favor and 
payments are resumed under the Prinos Interest as calculated under the 
License Agreement prior to the 1993 Amendment, that revenue should be 
sufficient to repay the NWO loan and fund on-going operations and limited new 
exploration activities.  There is no assurance as to how long the Prinos 
property will continue to produce oil and gas and, accordingly, if the 
Registrant can expect to receive any future revenue from its Prinos Interest.
          
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The Registrant has conducted a review of its computer systems to 
identify software that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue which results 
from computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to 
define the applicable year.  Any computer programs that have time-sensitive 
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the 
year 2000, resulting in a major system failure or miscalculations.  Since 
1996, the Registrant has updated all of its computer 

                                       10
<PAGE>

hardware and software with that which is Year 2000 compliant.  Although the 
Registrant believes it has identified the internal Year 2000 issues which 
might impact operations, no assurance can be given that all such issues have 
been identified or will be corrected. Additionally, no assurances can be 
given that the Registrant's vendors, banks or other third parties will not 
experience Year 2000 issues which may have a significant impact on the 
Registrant's operations.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In June 1994, the Registrant commenced legal action against Denison 
seeking a declaration by the Court that amounts due the Registrant 
attributable to its net profits interest in certain oil and gas producing 
areas offshore Greece be calculated based on the terms of the License 
Agreement prior to a 1993 amendment agreed to by the consortium and the Greek 
government.  On December 13, 1996, the Registrant received notification that 
the Ontario Court of Justice (General Division) in Toronto, Canada, had 
issued a judgment in its favor.  Specifically, the Court found that Denison 
is obligated to pay the Registrant its 15% net profits interest in accordance 
with the terms of the License Agreement prior to the 1993 amendment.  First, 
the Court ordered Denison to pay approximately $6,100,000 including interest 
to the Registrant for the period January 1, 1993 through December 13, 1996.  
Second, the Court ordered Denison to make payments to the Registrant 
subsequent to December 13, 1996, also calculated based on the terms of the 
original License Agreement.  Lastly, the Court awarded court costs to the 
Registrant which are anticipated to be approximately $107,000 plus interest.  
Subsequent to receiving the judgment from the Court, Denison filed a Notice 
of Appeal with the Court in which it requested that the judgment be set aside 
for errors in the judge's findings.  The Registrant disagrees that there were 
errors made.  Therefore, it appears that the final determination will likely 
have to be made by the Appellate Court.  While the Registrant believes there 
is a reasonable probability of prevailing in the litigation, the ultimate 
outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined at this time.  Accordingly, no 
amounts have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for 
current revenues or damages, if any, that may ultimately be awarded to the 
Registrant. 

     See the Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 
1998, for a more detailed discussion of these legal proceedings.

          and active real estate investment company.

          b.   Complete accounting services necessary to maintain complete and
          accurate records on behalf of San Miguel.

          c.   Administrative services as necessary to facilitate the orderly

          d.   Performance of such other services, at the option of Oceanic, as

     Oceanic shall also provide office space and facilities necessary for the 
employees located in Denver to perform the services described herein.  Use of 
facilities shall include use of office space and use of telephone equipment.

II.  COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

     For the performance of services described in Article I, San Miguel shall 
compensate and reimburse Oceanic as follows:

          a.   On May 1, 1998, a monthly management fee shall be calculated
          based upon experience during the previous twelve-month period.  This
          calculation is to include reimbursement for any new employment
          services being provided to San Miguel by Oceanic pursuant to this
          Agreement.  The fee will be based on actual time spent on San Miguel
          activities using current pay rates and benefit schedules.  On April 1
          of every year thereafter, this fee will be subject to recalculation
          based upon experience during the previous twelve-month period.  This
          payment will be due and payable on 

                                       15
<PAGE>

          the last day of each month.  If payment is not made by the fifteenth 
          day of the following month, the unpaid balance shall bear interest 
          monthly at the rate of 10% per annum.

          b.   Reimbursement of any direct charges incurred by Oceanic for the
          account of San Miguel, exclusive of personnel costs included in Item
          a.  These reimbursements will be due and payable upon receipt of
          invoice from Oceanic to San Miguel.

III. COVENANTS OF EACH PARTICIPATING COMPANY.

     In consideration for Oceanic's agreement to perform the services 
described in Article I, as an accommodation to San Miguel, San Miguel 
covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold Oceanic harmless from any loss or 
liability resulting from the performance of services contracted by this 
Agreement excepting only losses or liabilities resulting from Oceanic's gross 
negligence or wanton misconduct.

     In consideration for San Miguel's payment of the monthly management fee, 
Oceanic covenants and agrees to provide their employees with adequate salary 
and benefits to ensure the retention of personnel capable of performing the 
services specified in Article I.  Benefits are to include:

          a.   Health, life and disability insurance.

          b.   Employer taxes including social security, unemployment, and other
          taxes.

          c.   Pension and other retirement plans as employee eligibility
          requires.

          d.   Any other benefits Oceanic sees as necessary and appropriate.
