          ----------------------------------------------------------

          Miller Petroleum, Inc. has acquired a farmout from Tengasco, Inc.
adjacent to the much-publicized Swan Creek field in Hancock County, Tennessee.
With this agreement,  Miller now has access to geologic maps, well logs and
seismic data from Tengasco's four-year development of the field. Of the 17
wells drilled by Tengasco, estimated proven developed reserves total 25.2 Bcf
and 474,241 Bbls. Oil.  Miller will initially take industry partners to help
defer the costs of development.

          Miller is planning a Knox test on a structure 14 miles from Swan
Creek.  This will be a wildcat test of a geologic prospect with striking
similarities to the Swan Creek Field.  Spudding and completion of the drilling
is anticipated during the third fiscal quarter.  A gas contract with the local
utility has been negotiated with pipeline capacity available within two miles
of the proposed test well.

          Miller is also planning a test of the Jellico Sand Member of the Big
Lime on its 9,000-acre Koppers North lease.  This area is known for its higher
reservoir pressures.  A Columbia Natural Resources pipeline is within two
miles of the proposed site and a Delta Producers, Inc. pipeline is located
approximately three-quarters of a mile of the well site.  The location is near
the prolific Mud Creek Field in Tennessee.  Should the test prove up
substantial reserves, Miller will build a pipeline across Interstate 75 to
feed gas to its Jellico Pipeline system for sale to Citizen's Gas Utility.
Miller currently sells gas through this system from its Jellico Field.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

          Cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 1999, decreased by $887
from the July 31, 1999 balance, due primarily to a payment on notes payable.

          The Company believes that its current cash flow will be sufficient
to support its cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

          The Company had revenues of $435,135 for the second quarter of its
fiscal year, up from the $300,266 in revenues recognized during the last
quarter.

          The Company's net loss before depreciation, depletion and
amortization for the second quarter was $26,892.

         Miller's net loss for the second quarter decreased $86,658 from the
first quarter of this fiscal year. The Company expects a net profit in the
third quarter.  The return to profitability is due to the recovery in oil and
gas prices and to increased drilling in the East Tennessee area.

Year  2000 Compliance
- ---------------------

          The Company believes that its internal system of personal computers
is Year 2000 compliant.  It has no other computer systems.  Management has
confirmed with its bank and its insurer that those entities' computer system
are Year 2000 compliant.
