PART I.
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Business Development
Levcor International, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1964 under
the laws of the Islands of Bermuda and was reorganized in 1967 under the laws of
the State of Delaware. In 1995, the Company changed its name from Pantepec
International, Inc. to Levcor International, Inc.
Since its incorporation, the Company has been engaged in the ownership of
fractional interests in oil and gas wells and leases with respect thereto. In
1995, the Company acquired a woven fabric converting business that produces
fabrics used in the production of apparel. This acquisition formed the basis of
the Company's woven division, which concentrates on converting cotton and
cotton-blend fabrics for sale to domestic apparel manufacturers. In 1997, the
Company formed the Paradox Division, which specializes in converting
pure-synthetic-fiber-fabrics for sale to domestic apparel manufacturers. To
supplement the operation of the woven and Paradox divisions (collectively, the
"Paradox Woven Division"), effective July 1, 1999 the Company purchased from
Andrex Industries Corp. ("Andrex") its knit fabric and processing business that
produces knit fabrics used in the production of apparel. That business now
comprises the "Andrex Knit Division." The Paradox Woven Division and the Andrex
Knit Division are together referred to as the "Fabric Divisions."
With significantly reduced revenues from its oil and gas properties (a
naturally diminishing asset), the operation of the Fabric Divisions now comprise
the Company's primary business focus and constitute substantially all of the
Company's revenues.
Business of the Issuer
(A) The Paradox Woven Division
The Paradox Woven Division is engaged in converting woven textiles for
sale to domestic apparel manufacturers. The converting process consists of (i)
designing fabrics and commissioning textile mills to weave the greige fabric
(i.e., undyed) according to the Company's specifications, and (ii) commissioning
fabric finishers (i.e., dye plants) to dye, print and finish the greige fabric,
again according to the Company's specifications. The Company contracts with
commercial transporters to deliver greige fabric from textile mills to dyers.
The Company places orders for the sale of finished fabrics through its sales
personnel and independent commission agents.
The raw materials used by the Paradox Woven Division to fabricate textiles
are typically a combination or blend of two or more fibers, such as rayon,
acetate, polyester, cotton and acrylic. The principal supplier of the greige
fabric used by the Paradox Woven Division during 1999 is JPS Converter and
Industrial Corp. The primary dyers in the conversion process used by the Paradox
Woven Division are United Piece Dye Works, Inc. and Oxford Textiles.
In 1999, Alfred Dunner, a manufacturer of women's apparel, accounted for
$5,483,000 (approximately 63%) of the Paradox Woven Division's revenues.
1
<PAGE>
In 1999, research and development expenses related to the Paradox Woven
Division, the costs of which were not passed on to the Company's customers, were
approximately $148,000.
(B) The Andrex Knits Division
The Andrex Knits Division is engaged in converting knit textiles for sale
to domestic apparel manufactures. The converting process consists of (i)
designing fabrics, purchasing yarns both dyed and undyed and commissioning
knitting mills to knit the yarns into fabric according to the Company's
specifications and (ii) commissioning fabric finishers to dye and/or print as
necessary and finish the knit fabric again according to the Company's
specifications. The Company contracts with commercial transporters to deliver
yarn to knitting mills and knit fabrics from knitting mills to dyers/finishers.
The Company places orders for the sale of finished fabrics through its sales
personnel and independent commission agents.
The yarns used by the Andrex Knits Division to fabricate textiles are
typically a combination or blend of two or more fibers, such as rayon, acetate,
polyester, cotton and acrylic. For the Andrex Knits Division, the principal
suppliers of yarn during 1999 were Titan Textiles and Spectrum Fibers; the
principal knitter of yarns during 1999 were Ramseur Knits and Fairfield
Textiles; and the primary dyers in the conversion process were Champagne Dyers
and Finishers and Patterson Laundry and Dying.
In 1999, Alfred Dunner accounted for $2,610,000 (approximately 50%) of the
Andrex Knits Division's revenues.
In 1999, research and developments expenses related to the Andrex Knits
Division, the costs of which were not passed on to the Company's customers, were
approximately $4,000.
(C) Ownership of Interests in Oil and Gas Wells
At December 31, 1999, the Company held fractional interests in four wells
located in the United States, owned pursuant to working interest ("WI")
agreements. Such agreements, which were acquired in 1988 and 1989, provide that
the Company is obligated to pay its proportionate share of the cost of
developing and operating such wells and will be paid its proportionate share of
any revenues derived from such wells only after all owners of royalty interests
therein have been paid their proportionate share of any revenues derived from
such wells. During 1999, the Company earned revenues and incurred production
costs (exclusive of severance taxes) under the terms of such agreements of
$33,122 and $11,471, respectively. The Company acts as titular operator for the
Wehrenberg 26-1 well. But is not directly involved in operating the well or in
the marketing and sale of any oil and/or gas derived therefrom. Such operations
and marketing activities are conducted by the actual operator who has a
substantial interest in the well, pursuant to the terms of the operating
agreement which provide that the operator, for a fee, is responsible for the
development and operation of the well and the marketing and sale of the
resources derived therefrom. During 1999, the Company's share of the fees
payable to well operators for services performed pursuant to the terms of such
agreements was approximately $4,500. Effective May 1, 1999, the Company sold its
interests in a group of three wells for $3,800, which exceeded its book value.

<PAGE>
Competition
The textile conversion business is extremely competitive, particularly in
light of existing trade laws that allow low-cost imported fabric and finished
garments into the domestic apparel market. Within the domestic textile
converting business, the Company competes on the basis of the price and
uniqueness in styling of its fabrications.
The exploration for and production of oil and gas are highly competitive
operations, both within the oil and gas industry and with producers of other
types of energy. The ability to exploit a discovery of oil or gas is dependent
upon such considerations as the ability to finance development costs, the
availability of equipment and engineering, and construction delays and
difficulties.
In pursuing its business objectives, the Company must compete with
companies having substantially greater financing and other resources.
Seasonality
The business of both the Paradox Woven Division and the Andrex Knits
Division is seasonal. The Paradox Woven Division typically realizes higher
revenues and operating income in the first and fourth calendar quarters, while
the Andrex Knits Division's realizations are in the second and third calendar
quarters. Such seasonality takes into account the standard lead time required by
the fashion industry to manufacture apparel which corresponds to their
respective retail selling seasons.
Environmental Regulation
Environmental laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which the
Company conducts business could potentially have a significant impact on the
exploration for and development of natural resources by the Company. The Company
believes that its operations are in compliance with all environmental laws and
regulations applicable thereto.
Employees
The Company currently employs twenty persons, all of whom are employed
full time. The Company relies on consultants for income tax, data processing,
geological, sales and administrative services.
Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Fabric Divisions
On February 11, 2000, the Company relocated its office to 462 Seventh
Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10018, pursuant to a seven-year lease
ending January 21, 2007 at an annual rental of $162,500.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company's oil and gas properties consist of a 70% WI in one well
located in the State of Oklahoma with a net revenue interest ("NRI") of 56%.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The 0.67% carried interest in the Kotaneelee gas field sold by the Company
in August 1991, as well as Magellan Petroleum Corporation's 2.67% carried
interest in such field, is held in trust by Canada Southern Petroleum Ltd.
("Canada Southern"), which has a 30% carried interest in such field. In late
1987, Canada Southern commenced an action against Allied-Signal, Inc. in Florida
alleging its failure to fulfill certain contractual obligations to develop the
field. In September 1988, Allied Signal, Inc. commenced an action (the
"Allied-Signal Action") in Calgary, Canada against Dome Petroleum Limited, Amoco
Production Company and Amoco Canada Petroleum Company, Ltd. ("Amoco Canada" and
collectively, the "Amoco-Dome Group") seeking a declaration that the defendants
were responsible for the development of the field, and also seeking
reimbursement of its legal costs incurred in the Florida litigation. The Florida
litigation has since been dismissed.
In March 1989, Allied-Signal, Inc. amended its complaint in the
Allied-Signal Action to add the Company, Canada Southern and Magellan Petroleum
Corporation ("Magellan") as additional defendants. Certain of the other
defendants in the Allied-Signal Action have filed counterclaims against the
Company and other defendants seeking indemnification for unspecified costs and
expenses incurred by them in defending the Allied-Signal Action. In January
1996, the Company, Allied-Signal, Inc., Canada Southern and Magellan Petroleum
Corporation entered into a settlement whereby each party agreed not to sue any
of the other parties and, subsequently, the Allied-Signal Action was
discontinued.
Shortly after the Allied-Signal Action commenced, the Amoco-Dome Group
filed a counterclaim against the Company, Canada Southern and Magellan seeking
certain declaratory relief with respect to their alleged failure to fulfill
certain contractual obligations to develop and market gas from the Kotaneelee
gas field. The trial on the counterclaim action commenced on September 3, 1996,
and is ongoing.
On October 27, 1989, in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial
District of Calgary, Canada (the "Canada Court"), Canada Southern filed a
statement of claim against the Amoco-Dome Group, Columbia Gas Development of
Canada Ltd. ("Columbia"), Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. ("Mobil") and Esso Resources of
Canada Ltd. ("Esso") seeking a declaratory judgment (the "Declaratory Action")
regarding two issues relating to the Kotaneelee field: (1) whether interest
accrued on the carried interest account, which is the account for costs
recoverable by the working interest parties prior to such time as the carried
interest parties are entitled to participate in revenues derived from the
field's activities (Canada Southern maintains it does not), and (2) whether
expenditures for gathering lines and dehydration equipment are expenditures
chargeable to the carried interest account (Canada Southern maintains they are).
Mobil, Esso and Columbia have filed answers essentially agreeing to the granting
of the relief requested by Canada Southern. The Amoco-Dome group has now
admitted one of two claims, i.e., that interest does not accrue on the carried
interest account.
In 1991, Anderson Exploration Ltd. acquired all of the shares in Columbia,
and changed its name to Anderson Oil & Gas Inc. ("Anderson"). Anderson is now
the sole operator of the field, and is a direct defendant in the Declaratory
Action. Columbia's previous parent, The Columbia Gas System, Inc., was
reorganized in a bankruptcy proceeding in the United States, and is
contractually liable to Anderson in the Declaratory Action.

<PAGE>
On March 7, 1990, Canada Southern filed a statement of claim in the Canada
Court against the Amoco-Dome Group, Columbia, Mobil and Esso seeking forfeiture
of the Kotaneelee gas field, damages and other relief for breach of fiduciary
duty (the "Forfeiture Action"). The Company was added as a party plaintiff to
this action in November 1993. If such claim is upheld, the Company could recover
a 2 percent interest in the Kotaneelee field and damages. The defendants have
contested the claim and Canada Southern is pursuing discovery and trial.
Columbia filed a counterclaim seeking, if Canada Southern is successful in its
claims, repayment from Canada Southern, the Company and Magellan Petroleum
Corporation of all sums expended by Columbia on the Kotaneelee fields before
Canada Southern, the Company and Magellan Petroleum Corporation are entitled to
their interests. The trial commenced in September 1996, and is ongoing. Based on
recently discovered evidence, Canada Southern petitioned the Canada Court for
leave to amend its complaint to add a claim that the defendants failed to
develop the field in a timely manner.
The field operator has entered into a contract for the sale of Kotaneelee
gas. The Company believes that it is too early to determine the impact, if any,
that this contract may have on the status of these cases.
On August 6, 1991, the Company sold to an independent third party (the
"Buyer") its carried interest in a lease in property, including the Kotaneelee
field. The agreement for the transfer of the Company's interest provides that
the Company shall continue to prosecute the Declaratory Action and the
Forfeiture Action. The Company and the Buyer have agreed to share equally all
costs and expenses of the Declaratory Action and the Forfeiture Action and to
share equally any payments or other benefit resulting from the resolution of
such actions. The agreement further provides that the Company shall indemnify
the Buyer against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, damages and
expenses brought against or suffered by the Buyer which arise out of, or are
attributable to, the Allied-Signal Action.
The Company has been advised that under Canadian law certain costs (known as
"taxable costs") of a litigation may be assessed against a nonprevailing party.
Taxable costs consist primarily of attorney's and expert witness fees incurred
during a trial. Effective September 1, 1998, the Alberta Rules of Court were
amended to provide for a material increase in the costs which may be awarded to
the prevailing party in matters before the Court. In addition, a judge in
complex and lengthy trials has the discretion to increase an award of taxable
costs.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Results of Operations
The sales of the Fabric Divisions for 1999 were $13,900,323, an increase
of $3,795,753 or 38%, from $10,104,570 for 1998. The cost of sales of the
Divisions in 1999 was $11,953,473, an increase of 33% from $8,974,339 in 1998.
The gross profits on sales for the Divisions for 1999 was thus $1,946,850 an
increase of $816,619, or 72% from $1,130,231 for 1998. Most of the increases are
attributed to the operations of the Andrex Knit Division which commenced upon
acquisition effective July 1, 1999. During 1999 there was also an increase of
$60,756 in gross profits from oil and gas operations as compared to 1998.
The Company's total expenses for 1999 were $2,502,793, an increase of
$718,856 or 40%, from $1,783,937 in 1998. Such increase was due to the combined
increases of: (i) selling expenses of the fabrics divisions of $458,299, or 42%,
compared to 1998; and (ii) an increase in general and administrative expenses of
$260,557 or 38%; both such increases were predominately due to increases in
salaries, benefits and payroll taxes and professional fees and related expenses
associated with the acquisition which created the Andrex Knits Division.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reflected a net loss of $481,030
in 1999 compared to a net loss of $659,488 for 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company entered into a Factoring Agreement with the CIT
Group/Commercial Services, Inc. ("CIT Group") on September 17, 1998 (the "CIT
Group Factoring Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the CIT Group Factoring
Agreement, the Company, among other things: (i) assigned to CIT Group its
interest in all accounts receivable arising from the sale of inventory or
rendition of services (the "Accounts"), including those under any trade names,
through any divisions and through any selling agent, and pay CIT Group a
factoring fee of 0.6% of the gross face amount of the Accounts, with a minimum
commission of $3 per invoice and $48,000 per annum, an additional 1/4 of 1% of
the gross face amount of each Account for each 30-day period or part thereof by
which the longest terms of sale applicable to such Account exceed 90 days, and
an additional 1% of the gross face amount of all Accounts arising from sales to
customers located outside the United States; and (ii) may request advances
(which advances shall be made at the CIT Group's sole discretion) on the net
purchase price of the Accounts, and pays interest on such advances at the rate
of 0.5% above The Chase Manhattan Bank's prime rate for the term thereof. The
CIT Group Factoring Agreement remains effective until termination by either
party. CIT Group may terminate the CIT Group Factoring Agreement at any time,
upon 60 days' prior written notice or immediately without prior written notice,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the CIT
Group Factoring Agreement). The Company may terminate the CIT Group Factoring
Agreement on any September 30th, upon 60 days' prior written notice.

In connection with the purchase in 1996 of woven fabric inventory from
Andrex, the Company issued a promissory note to Andrex, which bears interest at
the rate of 6% per annum, pursuant to which the Company, commencing on May 1,
1996 and continuing through May 1, 2000, is required to make five annual
payments of $282,800 to Andrex. In order to meet the $282,800 payments that were
due on May 1, 1996, May 1, 1997 and May 1, 1998. Robert A. Levinson, the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, made loans to the Company on such dates of
$370,000, $300,000 and $50,000, respectively, which loans bear interest at a
rate of 6% per annum. On May 1, 1999, the Company from its own resources, made
the required payment of $282,800; and on July 1, 1999, the Company prepaid the
final installment of $282,800 due May 1, 2000, utilizing a portion of an
additional loan given by Mr. Levinson on July 1, 1999 of $500,000.
On July 26, 1999, Mr. Levinson and the Company entered into an agreement
whereby Mr. Levinson agreed to accept 400,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company, in full and final satisfaction of the loan made to the Company in July
of 1999 in the principal amount of $500,000.
Mr. Levinson has also agreed to continue to personally support the
Company's cash requirements to enable it to meet its current obligations through
December 31, 2000.
On September 2, 1999, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement, dated September 2, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement"), with Andrex,
pursuant to which the Company purchased (1) Andrex's inventory; (2) Andrex's
machinery and equipment; (3) Andrex's furniture, fixtures and supplies located
at 1071 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10018; (4) Andrex's sales
orders; and (5) Andrex's trade name "Andrex Knits". The purchase price
comprised: (1) cash in the amount of $660,000; (2) a promissory note
("Promissory Note 1") in the principal amount of $282,450; and (3) a promissory
note ("Promissory Note 2") in the principal amount equal to the book value of
July 1, 1999 of the inventory purchased by the Company, the valuation of which
was initially agreed to be $1,214,750. The Promissory Notes both bear interest
at 6% per annum and are due on April 1, 2001.
The Company funded the $660,000 cash payment with a promissory note due to
CIT Group bearing interest payable at 8.5%, principal being repayable with
proceeds from the sale of the machinery and equipment purchased by the Company.
At December 31, 1999 the remaining principal due to CIT Group was $77,500.
Promissory Note 1 was to be repaid with the sale proceeds of the machinery and
equipment once the CIT Group promissory note was repaid. Promissory Note 2,
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement's Post-Closing Adjustment, was reduced to a
balance of $948,036 at December 31, 1999 and is to be paid down with proceeds
from the sale of the inventory purchased by the Company, with interest accrued
on outstanding balances.
The Company believes that cash generated from the Company's sale of woven
fabrics produced by the Company's Paradox Woven Division, the sale of knit
fabrics produced by the Company's newly formed Andrex Knits Division, the
advances under the CIT Group Factoring Agreement, loans from Mr. Levinson (if
needed) and, to a lesser extent, the proceeds from the sale of oil and gas from
the Company's ownership interest in oil and gas wells will be sufficient to fund
the Company's operations for 2000. The Company's unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1999 was $3,045, a decrease of $57,273 from $60,318
at December 31, 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Nature of Operations and Liquidity
Levcor International, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in two
industry segments: the ownership of fractional interests in oil and
gas wells and leases with respect thereto; and the operation of
woven and knit fabric converting businesses that produces fabrics
used in the production of apparel. The Company sells its products to
domestic customers.
The Company continues to sustain substantial losses, which has
adversely affected the Company's liquidity. The Company required
cash advances from an officer/shareholder amounting to $500,000 and
$275,000 to pay the debt payment and interest that was due on May 1,
1999 and 1998, respectively. On July 1, 1999 the Company prepaid the
final installment of $282,800 due on May 1, 2000. The
officer/shareholder of the Company has agreed to continue to
personally support the Company's cash requirement to enable the
Company to meet its current obligations through December 31, 2000
and fund future operations. In addition, the Company plans to
aggressively market and sell its product and continue to contain
costs. Although there can be no assurance that these measures will
be successful, the Company believes that future operations and
support from the officer/shareholder will provide sufficient
liquidity to fund current operations.
2. Oil and Gas Properties
The Company accounts for oil and gas properties using a lower of
cost (full cost method) or market basis. The Company's oil and gas
properties financial statement carrying value was determined using
year-end oil and gas prices and operating costs in the individual
local producing areas. These have been held constant throughout the
life of the properties. Established decline rates have been used and
projected net revenues have been discounted ten percent a year in
arriving at the present value shown. Plugging and abandonment costs
are assumed to be balanced by the sale of lease equipment. The
present values are not necessarily indicative of values that would
be realized on the sale of these properties.

December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE A (continued)
3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation of basic loss per share of Common Stock is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share include basic shares plus (in
periods in which they have a dilutive effect) the effect of common
shares contingently issuable upon exercise of stock options (see
Note I). Diluted loss per share is considered equal to basic loss
per share for all years presented, as the effect of other
potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
4. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the
cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated
service lives, principally by the straight-line method. Leasehold
improvements and leasehold cost are amortized over the term of the
lease or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is
shorter. The costs of additions and improvements which substantially
extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized. Repair
and maintenance costs are charged to expense. Upon sale or disposal,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
income. Property and equipment are written off when they become
fully depreciated.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization for the year ended December
31, 1999 were $3,070, $4,517 and $4,212, respectively, and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 were $7,950, $3,900 and $2,950,
respectively.
Property and equipment at December 31, 1999 are summarized as
follows:
Property and equipment $ 51,898
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 18,457

$ 33,441

NOTE A (continued)
5. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally average
cost) or current value based on prevailing market prices.
Inventories consist of yarn, greige, work-in-process and finished
goods.
The Company estimates the markdowns required for the inventory based
upon future marketability as well as general economic conditions.
Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could affect the
Company's estimate of the markdowns.
6. Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs
were approximately $152,000 and $150,000 in 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and are included in cost of sales in the accompanying
financial statements.
7. Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are
recognized for the estimated future tax effects of the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of
assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax
effects of the temporary differences between the financial reporting
basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
8. Statements of Cash Flows
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of less than
three months at the date of purchase as cash equivalents.

9. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company maintains a stock option plan, as more fully described
in Note I to the financial statements, accounted for using the
"intrinsic value" method pursuant to the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." The fair value of options granted and the pro forma
effects on the Company's net loss and net loss per share are
disclosed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
10. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE F - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During 1999 and 1998, an officer/shareholder advanced $500,000 and
$275,000, respectively, to the Company to pay current obligations.
The 1998 advance was fully repaid during the 1999 year. On July 26, 1999,
the officer/shareholder entered into an agreement whereby the
officer/shareholder agreed to accept 400,000 shares of the Common Stock of
the Company with a market value of $500,000, in full and final
satisfaction of the loan of $500,000 advanced during 1999. The
officer/shareholder agreed to waive the interest payable under the terms
of the loan. The loan accrued interest at 6%p.a. until it was repaid.
Further, the officer/shareholder has agreed not to require payment of
$720,000 prior to January 1, 2001.

===========
At December 31, 1999, the Company had a net tax operating loss carryforward of
approximately $6.44 million available to reduce income in future years,
expiration of which occurs between 2000 and 2019. No assurance can be given as
to the Company's ability to realize the net operating loss carryforwards.
Additionally, the net operating loss carryforwards are subject to Internal
Revenue Code Section 382, which limits the use of the net operating loss, if
there is a change in ownership.
NOTE H - LITIGATION
The Company's interests in the Kotaneelee field are represented in trust
by Canada Southern in a statement of claim filed in the Canada court by
Canada Southern against Amoco Canada Petroleum Company Limited and other
parties, seeking forfeiture of the Kotaneelee field, damages and other
relief for breach of fiduciary duty, relating to their responsibility to
develop the field. On March 7, 1990, Canada Southern filed a statement of
claim in the Canada Court against the Amoco-Dome Group, Columbia, Mobil
and Esso seeking forfeiture of the Kotaneelee gas field, damages and other
relief for breach of fiduciary duty (the "Forfeiture Action").

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE H (continued)
The Company was added as a party plaintiff to this action in November
1993. If such claim is upheld, the Company could recover a two percent
interest in the Kotaneelee field and damages. The defendants have
contested the claim and Canada Southern is pursuing discovery and trial.
Columbia filed a counterclaim seeking, if Canada Southern is successful in
its claims, repayment from Canada Southern, the Company and Magellan
Petroleum Corporation of all sums expended by Columbia on the Kotaneelee
fields before Canada Southern, the Company and Magellan Petroleum
Corporation are entitled to their interests. The trial commenced in
September 1996, and is ongoing. Based on discovered evidence, Canada
Southern has petitioned the Canada Court for leave to amend its complaint
to add a claim that the defendants failed to develop the field in a timely
manner.
The field operator has entered into a contract for the sale of Kotaneelee
gas. The Company believes that it is too premature to determine the
impact, if any, that this contract may have on the status of these cases.
The Company has been advised that under Canadian law certain costs (known
as "taxable costs") of a litigation may be assessed against a
nonprevailing party. Taxable costs consist primarily of attorney's and
expert witness fees incurred during a trial. In addition, a judge in
complex and lengthy trials has the discretion to increase an award of
taxable costs.
On October 27, 1989, in the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta, Judicial
District of Calgary, Canada (the Canada Court), Canada Southern filed a
statement of claim against the Amoco-Dome Group, Columbia, Mobil Oil
Canada Ltd. ("Mobil") and Esso Resources of Canada Ltd. ("Esso") seeking a
declaratory judgment regarding two issues relating to the Kotaneelee
field: (1) whether interest accrues on the carried interest account, which
is the account for costs recoverable by the working interest parties prior
to such time as the carried interest parties are entitled to participate
in revenues derived from the field's activities (Canada Southern maintains
it does not), and (2) whether expenditures for gathering lines and
dehydration equipment are expenditures chargeable to the carried interest
account (Canada Southern maintains they are). Mobil, Esso and Columbia
have filed answers essentially agreeing to the granting of the relief
requested by Canada Southern. The Amoco-Dome group has now admitted one of
two claims, i.e., that interest does not accrue on the carried interest
account.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 1999 and 1998
NOTE I - STOCK OPTION PLAN
On December 8, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan, as amended, authorizes the Company to
grant options to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock
to induce employees and directors to remain in the employ or service of
the Company and its subsidiaries and to attract new employees. Options
granted under the Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options
("ISOs") within the meaning of Section 422A(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, or as nonincentive stock options
("NISOs"). The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The Plan
terminates in December 2002.
The Plan provides for discretionary grants of ISOs and NISOs to employees
(including directors or officers who are also employees) of the Company
and an automatic annual grant to each non-employee director of options to
purchase the number of shares derived by dividing $1,500 by the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The initial
per share option exercise price for an ISO may not be less than the fair
market value thereof on the date of such grant, or 110% of such fair
market value with respect to an employee who, at such time, owns stock
representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company. The initial per share option exercise
price for a NISO may not be less than 85% of the fair market value thereof
on the date of the grant of such option. The initial per share option
exercise price for the options granted to the nonemployee directors is the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant thereof.
As described in Note A-9, the Company has adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS No. 123 and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for grants made under its stock option plan. Had compensation
cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for stock
option awards in 1999 and 1998 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 123, the Company's net loss for 1999 and 1998 would have been
increased by approximately $1,000 and $37,000, respectively, and the
Company's net loss per share for 1999 and 1998 would have increased by
approximately $nil and $.01 per share, respectively. During the initial
phase-in period of SFAS No. 123, such compensation may not be
representative of the future effects of applying this statement. The
impact of 1999 grants would have no material impact on the company's net
loss and net loss per share for 1999 under the provisions of SFAS No. 123.
The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted
during 1999 and 1998 was $2.00 and $1.50 per option, respectively. The
fair value of each option at date of grant was estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for grants in:
