PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On August 23, 1996 the Shareholders of Environmental Remediation
Funding Corporation (ERFC) a privately held Delaware Corporation incorporated in
September 1995 obtained control of Regional Air Group Corporation ("RAIR"), by
way of a Reverse Triangular Merger. RAIR issued a total of 2,433,950 shares of
it $.0001 par value Common Stock (restricted) to Regional Air Opportunity
Development Corp., ("RAODC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of RAIR. Subsequently,
RAODC acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of ERFC from ERFC's
shareholders in exchange for 2,433,950 shares acquired from RAIR. On August 29,
1996 RAIR filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation authorizing a
change in the name of the corporation from Regional Air Group Incorporation to
Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation.
Environmental Remediation Funding Corporation (ERFC) was founded to
pursue environmental remediation contracts both in the United States and
overseas, primarily in the oil industry. ERHC's goal is to acquire small to
medium size environmental companies and create the only full service
environmental company available to the petroleum industry today. In industry
terms, ERHC will be a "cradle to grave" environmental company. ERHC goal is to
eliminate the current fragmentation of remedial services prevalent today, and ,
there by, increase overall quality control. ERHC as part of this goal will
reduce the need for multiple levels of subcontractors and thereby increases its
potential for profit while reducing overall costs to its customers.
ERHC has specifically targeted the environmental needs of the oil and
gas industry. Moreover, with ERHC's organization and expertise, ERHC is fully
capable of utilizing its knowledge and equipment to handle
a variety of difficult and/or hazardous waste streams.
What ERHC hopes to be to its regional, national and international
clients is an " all inclusive" environmental service company. ERHC will offer
full services such as environmental engineering, consultations, hazardous
(including NORM waste) and non hazardous waste cleanup, the manufacture and
distribution of waste cleanup materials, waste management, waste transportation
and disposal, as well as, plug and abandonment of oil and gas wells. ERHC has
access to a technology that when proven will increase the output of existing low
producing oil wells using standard methods of A.P.I. maintenance and further
increase production by utilizing BAPCO tool a "state of the art" method of
lateral drilling". This is one of the major reasons that ERHC is in serious
negotiation for the purchase of BAPCO. ERHC hopes to complete the purchase of
BAPCO in early 1997.
ERHC hopes to have signed a "Master Service Agreement" with Chevron Oil
to complete the plug and abandonment (P & A) of over 400 wells in Louisiana in
early 1997. This contract could be worth in excess of 70 million dollars over
the next few years to ERHC. This is the first of three large contracts under
negotiation with the oil and gas industry. In addition, ERHC is in the final
stages of negotiation with two other major oil companies to take over all of
their plug and abandonment work now being performed "in house". The major oil
companies would prefer to have the environmental work completed by an outside
firms as it reduces their costs and overall environmental exposure. Chevron and
the other major oil companies are working with ERHC for this work not only
because of ERHC "cradle to grave" approach but because of the oil companies
prior experience in working with ERHC's Chief Executive Officer, Sam L. Bass,
Jr.
Mr. Sam Bass, Jr. is ERHC's well-known and highly experienced
CEO. Mr. Bass has a long standing and respected relationship with all the
major and minor oil companies in the U.S. and abroad. ERHC, under
Mr. Bass's guidance, is in a unique position to obtain P & A work from all the
major oil companies in Louisiana and Texas. The State of Louisiana has
mandated that 12,000 oil wells owned by the State, as well as 30,000+ owned
by the oil companies, must be plugged and abandoned in the next two (2)
years. ERHC has all the necessary management and technical qualifications
for the plug and abandonment of oil wells and because of those qualifications,
is being contacted by all of the major oil companies.

<PAGE>
ERHC with the assistance of Chevron is desiging a "state of the art" P
& A barge that will handle pressure up to 10,000 psi, work in waters as shallow
as 19 inches and house up to fifteen (15 ) people. This barge will be the only
one of its kind on the gulf coast with a triad of capabilities: P & A work,
reworking of wells and environmental clean-up. ERHC will require a minimum of
four (4) barges if we are to complete the Chevron contract in the time frame
allotted under the agreement under discussion.
.
ERHC is in the final stages of negotiation to purchased two petroleum
fields, the Woodbine Field located in Henderson County , Texas and the Gunsite
Oil Field located in Wichita Falls, Texas. ERHC is negotiating to obtain the
rights to a number of other oil and gas producing properties in Texas and
Louisiana. As these contracts are consummated, ERHC will use standard A.P.I.
methods of "reworking" the fields to increase production twenty-five (25%)
percent in the first six months. ERHC will then utilize the "BAPCO" tool
(lateral drilling) along with "rework" techniques to significantly increase the
fields production. The Woodbine and Gunsite Fields are expected to close inthe
first half of 1997. They are comprised of 1200 acres and 200 wells. After
reworking the fields using both traditional A.P.I. methods of reworking and the
BAPCO tool , oil production is expected to increased a minimum of 5 times from
initial production levels to 1600 barrels a day. (Oil is currently selling for
approximately twenty (20) dollars per barrel). ERHC is in the process of
obtaining independent geologist's report on both the Poloxy Gunsite Field and
the Henderson Field which our reports revealed proven primary reserves ("behind
pipe") of over a million barrels. These figures do not include the additional
reserves located within the sands above Gunsite.
ERHC believes that the above stated markets have been neglected and are
a profitable market niche that can be exploited. This would allow ERHC, to
become a major player in the oil industry in a relatively short period without
the necessity of costly drilling routinely associated with oil exploration. All
of the fields that have been and will be acquired by ERHC have proven reserves
verified by independent geologists.
ERHC is also negotiating with a number of companies who have
concessions to rework oil and gas wells overseas specifically in Trinidad,
Indonesia and the Middle East. ERHC intends to offer rework techniques using the
"BAPCO" tool to obtain joint venture agreements with these companies. Given
ERHC's knowledge and ability to considerably increase a field's oil production.
ERHC looks forward to successfully entering a number of long term partnerships
in the near future.
ERHC, with a joint venture partner, is close the completing a
concession agreement with the Panama Canal Commission that allows ERHC to supply
fuel and supplies to tankers moving through the canal.
ERHC
anticipates, in its first phase, to deliver up to one million gallons of fuel
and supplies daily to the ships. This agreement requires ERHC to provide a two
and a half million dollar Letter of Credit to Texaco for the fuel they will
provide. ERHC upon the signing of the concession will enter into negotiation for
the purchase of two fuel barges and two tugs. This Panama concession could
conservatively generate 40 to 60 thousand dollars a day in gross income. This
contract should expand past the million gallons a day in sales if the company
adds additional fuel barges.
There are no environmental remediation businesses that control more
than two percent of the market. The industry is fragmented and subcontract to
local firms specializing in specific needs for general remediation projects.
Small firms offering a limited scope of services and locations are having an
increasingly difficult time competing (therefore open to acquisition by ERHC)
and many principals of small firms suggest that they need to merge to survive.
Environmental remediation firms can generally be categorized into two
groups: small firms with one or few regional offices and giant, multi-office
firms with multi-million dollar revenues. Small firms typically lack the
resources to complete may of the more complex multiple jobs. The very large
firms are
3

often only interested in the colossal, large dollar projects.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

420 Jericho Turnpike, Suite 321, Jericho, New York for use as its primary
offices. The lease payments are presently $1200.00 per month.

ITEM 7. PLAN OF OPERATION.
During FY 1996 the Company has placed themselves in a position to be
very profitable in the coming years. There is expanding pressure from
govermental agencies to resolve the major difficulties created by oil and gas
enterprises. ERHC addresses theses concerns by providing services to the
petroleum industry, such as, planning for the prevention pollution problems, the
confining and mitigation of potential pollution and the actual cleanup of oil
spills both on the ground and in the water.
If ERHC is successful in obtaining a Master Service Agreement with
Chevron to plug and abandon wells in the Gulf of Mexico, it could be worth up to
70 million dollars during the next three years to
ERHC.
This Master Service Agreement from Chevron is expected to allows for further
sites to be added to the original
agreement, which may include a significant number of wells in Louisiana..
Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation, is in the process of
developing a Plug and Abandonment Division under the guidance of Sam L. Bass
Jr., CEO of ERHC, who will utilize the company's extended family of technical
experts and the combined experience of ERHC's management and staff. There is
great confidence by ERHC of its ability to service the needs of its clients,
using cutting edge technology and knowledge of all environmental remediation
disciplines
The plug and abandonment of oil and gas wells is a detailed process of
shutting down and discontinuing the use of an older, unsafe or marginally
producing oil or gas wells. There are many ecological ramifications if oil and
gas wells are abandoned without following EPA and DEQ mandated guidelines. These
ramificationsare caused due to aging equipment and pipe casings can lead to
"blow outs", oil and gas seepage into the water, or ground and ground water
contamination. These problems can lead to major environmental problems and
expensive pollution cleanup.
Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation has targeted the
environmental remediation needs of the oil and gas industry, as well as other
difficult to handle waste streams. Additionally, ERHC will begin to acquire
under valued, marginally producing oil and gas properties with significant
verifiable reserves. When those oil and gas properties are acquired, the Company
will use its exclusive "workover techniques" to increase the wells' production.
The Company believes that the above stated market has been neglected and will
become a profitable market niche that can be exploited.
ERHC has been in negotiation for the last month to purchase 60% of the
outstanding shares of Bass American Petroleum Company (BAPCO), which is expected
to become a subsidiary of Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation. Bass
American Petroleum Company main focus is to obtain a marginally producing well
and increase production of that well eight to ten time via a "lateral drilling
process using what is called a "lateral I. P. Tool". This process is minimal
when it is compared to actually drilling a new well and gambling on an oil find.
Certainly, the I. P. Tool process is a simple, but effective way to build an oil
company without the high risk and drilling costs. It has been discovered that
there is an eighty percent positive ratio of success. ERHC can buy old producing
wells and increase production at a ten to fifteen times increase in production
versus the cost of drilling
5
<PAGE>
With ERHC's broad range of different specialization's and led by
experienced management, the Company can offer its regional, national and
international clients an all inclusive environmental service. Services such as
environmental engineering and consultation, hazardous (including NORM waste) and
non hazardous waste cleanup, the manufacture and distribution of waste cleanup
products, waste management, waste transportation and disposal, as well as plug
and abandonment of oil and gas wells.
ERHC's growth concentration will be on the acquisition of
complementary, small to medium environmental remediation companies, primarily
energy related. Also the company will seek transportation opportunities
associated with the environmental remediation of energy industries.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION HOLDING CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company. Environmental Remediation Holding Corp. is a Colorado
chartered corporation which conducts
business from its headquarters in Jericho, New York and was
incorporated on May 12, 1986 with the name Regional Air Group Corp.,
which was changed in August 1996.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
dates of the statements of financial condition and revenues and
expenses for the years then ended. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. The following summarize the more
significant accounting and reporting policies and practices of the
Company:
a) Basis of presentation The Company acquired 100% of the
issued and outstanding common stock
of Environmental Remediation Funding Corp., (ERFC), a Delaware
corporation, effective on August 19, 1996, in a reverse triangular
merger, which has been accounted for as a reorganization of ERFC. At
the same time the Company changed its name from Regional Air Group
Corp. to Environmental Remediation Holding Corp. The financial
statements reflect the financial position and results of operations of
ERFC prior to the acquisition by the Company and on a consolidated
basis subsequent to the acquisition.
b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
c) Equipment Equipment was received by ERFC in exchange for
common stock of ERFC. The fair market value
of the equipment was determined through the use of an independent third
party equipment appraiser. The then determined fair market value was
lower than the previous owners cost basis, and the fair market value of
the ERFC stock exchanged was undeterminable, therefore the Company
chose to value the equipment received using the appraiser's valuation.
The Company has chosen to depreciate the equipment using the straight
line method over its estimated remaining useful life of ten years.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 1995
and 1996 was $0 and $372,000, respectively.
d) Note payable The Company issued a note payable to an officer
in exchange for cash. This note carries no stated
maturity date or rate of interest. The Company expects to repay this
note within twelve months.
e) Deferred compensation ERFC issued 755,043 shares of its
common stock into escrow in exchange for services
to be rendered by its Chairman under a four year contract. These
services were valued at $125,000 per year, therefore the Company is
amortizing this deferred compensation expense at a rate of $31,250 per
quarter. These ERFC shares were exchanged for shares of the Company on
August 19, 1996.
On August 30, 1996, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its common
stock, valued at $70,000, to an attorney for services to be rendered at
below market rates for a period of 4 months. Accordingly, the Company
is amortizing this expense over the term of the agreement.
On October 6, 1995, and modified on January 2, 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement with a financial advisor to issue 30,000
shares of its common stock, valued at $210,000, in exchange for
services rendered by the advisor to assist in effecting the merger
which occured on August 19, 1996.
On July 15, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a general
business advisor to issue 15,000 shares of its common stock, valued at
$105,000, in exchange for services rendered by the advisor.
f) Net loss per share Net loss per share is computed by
dividing the net loss by the number of shares outstanding during
the period.
(2) Income taxes The Company has a consolidated net operating
loss carry-forward amounting to $856,152, expiring
as follows: $3,404 in 2010 and $852,748 in 2011. The Company has a
$342,500 deferred tax asset resulting from the loss carry-forward, for
which it has established a 100% valuation allowance, as until the
Company proceeds with its current development plans it is unclear as to
the ability of the Company to utilize these carry-forwards.
