ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
On May 7, 1999, Registrant sold 6,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to Gulfport
Oil & Gas Inc. ("Gulfport"), a private company, for $.20 per share. Prior to
the sale, Registrant had 5,231,922 shares of its Common Stock issued and
outstanding. Accordingly, Gulfport holds approximately 53.4% of the 11,231,922
issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant's Common Stock following such
transaction and thus acquired control of the Registrant, displacing Phoenix
Energy Group, Inc. ("Phoenix"), also a private company. The total consideration
of $1,200,000, for the which the shares were issued, was comprised of cash of
$600,000 and a Promissory Note from Gulfport for $600,000, due August 1, 1999.
Gulfport has the right to acquire additional shares in two ways. First,
Gulfport has the right to acquire an additional 15,000,000 shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock at $.20 per share for a total consideration of
$3,000,000 within 180 days from April 28, 1999. Second, Gulfport has the right
and option to roll in and sell oil and gas properties to Registrant for common
stock of Registrant. The value to be attributed to any such oil and gas
properties, both producing, non-producing and exploratory, will be determined by
independent oil and gas experts, mutually acceptable to Registrant and Gulfport.
Following the closing of the Gulfport transaction, immediate changes were made
in the directors and officers of the Registrant as noted in Item 5 below.
Prior to the Gulfport sale transaction, Phoenix, controlled by its President and
CEO, L. Craig Ford, held 2,557,262 shares or approximately 48.9% of the
Registrant. Following the transaction, Phoenix holds approximately 22.8% of the
Registrant's Common Stock. Phoenix granted Norris R. Harris, the President of
Gulfport, an exclusive and irrevocable proxy to vote all of the Common Stock of
the Registrant held by Phoenix for a period of one year.
Gulfport Oil & Gas Inc. is controlled by Norris R. Harris, its President and
CEO.
Gulfport intends to hold the shares received and to function as a holding
company of Registrant.
The re-located corporate offices of the Registrant are:
