NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL
-------
The financial statements of Gulf Exploration Consultants, Inc. and
subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") for the period ended June 30,
1996 are unaudited but reflect, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
fairly present the results for such periods. The accompanying financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto contained in the Annual Report included in the Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT
--------------------
On July 10, 1996, the Company accepted the resignation of L. George Rieger
as President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Daniel
Murphy was appointed as Director and President of the Company to fill the
vacancy caused by Mr. Rieger's resignation. Mr. Murphy is a financial
consultant.
RECAPITALIZATION AND SALE OF SUBSIDIARY
---------------------------------------
Effective June 17, 1996, after obtaining stockholder approval, Micron Ltd.
("Micron") acquired 3,954,545 shares totaling 72.5% of the Common Stock of
Emerging Money Limited ("Emerging Money") from the Company. In
consideration for such shares Micron had paid the Company 39, 546 Irish
Pounds (US$ 63,293 equivalent as of December 31, 1995) and had paid on
behalf of Emerging Money approximately US$ 80,000 which enabled Emerging
Money to discharge certain agreed creditors.
Effective July 10, 1996, pursuant to a Letter Agreement, dated December 22,
1995 (the "Letter Agreement"), among the Company, Minmet plc, Osprey
Investments, Inc. (formerly, DRM&S, Inc., "Osprey") and Dennis Mensch
("Mensch"), Osprey and Mensch each exchanged promissory notes, dated March
1995, in the principal amount of $100,000 each plus accrued interest, for
438,040 shares each of the Company's Common Stock. Each of Osprey and
Mensch holds a 22% interest in the Company as a result of this
recapitalization. Also pursuant to the Letter Agreement, effective June
17, 1996, Minmet reduced its beneficial interest in the Company from 56% to
15% and the Company transferred its remaining 27.5% interest in Emerging
Money to Minmet. The Company no longer has any interest in Emerging Money
and has no operating activities.
The Company is presently seeking new business opportunities.
(2) INCOME/LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
----------------------------
Profit (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. The average number
of shares outstanding for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 was 1,991,092 and 1,999,980 shares, respectively.
Profit (loss) per common share, assuming full dilution, is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.
The average number of shares used to compute the fully diluted loss per
-7-
<PAGE>
share was 1,991,092 and 1,999,980 common shares for the three month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Common stock equivalents are antidilutive and are not considered in the
calculations of income/loss per share.
(3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
----------------------------
As of August 26, 1996, the Company has not filed certain federal and state
income tax returns for the years ended 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. It
is management s intent to file the required tax returns in 1996.
Management believes penalties for late filing will not be material to the
financial statements.
(4) COMMON STOCK REVERSE SPLIT
--------------------------
Effective June 17, 1996, stockholders approved a one-for-fifty reverse
split of the Company's Common Stock. All references in the financial
statements to average number of shares and per share amounts of the
Company's Common Stock have been retroactively restated to reflect the
reverse split. In addition, stockholders also approved the reduction in
thenumber ofauthorized shares ofCommon Stock from100,000,000 to 10,000,000.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
---------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net profit for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was $479,837.
The profit arose as a result of the disposal of the Company's entire
interest in Emerging Money which gave rise to a gain of $479,837. This
gain arose because liabilities in the amount of $583,737 which had been
attributable to the Company through its 100% ownership of Emerging Money
were eliminated by the Company upon the disposition of its interest in
Emerging Money. The elimination of such liabilities did not give rise to
a tax event to the Company.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTIONS
As indicated in Note (1) to the Financial Statements, effective June 17,
1996 the Company disposed of its entire interest in Emerging Money,
including all related liabilities. The Company recognized a $479,837
gain resulting from the disposition of such subsidiary.
The Company presently has no operations or business activity. Management,
however, is seeking new business opportunities for the Company. The
intention is to identify and enter into an arrangement for a business which
would present growth prospects to stockholders. The arrangement would be
subject to approval by stockholders.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES.
---------------------
On June 17, 1996, the Company filed amendments to its Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which
(i) reduced the number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock,
$.01 par value ("Common Stock"), through a one-for-fifty reverse split (the
"Reverse Split"); and (ii) reduced the number of authorized shares of
Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares.
The amendments were approved by the Company's stockholders at a special
meeting of stockholders held on June 17, 1996 and became effective as of
the time of filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
(the "Effective Time").
At and after the Effective Time each share of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was reclassified and
changed into one-fiftieth (1/50) of one (1) share of Common Stock, $.01 par
value (shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective
Time being hereinafter called "Old Shares" and shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding at and after the Effective Time being hereinafter
called "New Shares"); provided, however, that no fractional New Shares are
to be issued as a result of the reverse split. In lieu of fractional
shares, each stockholder whose Old Shares were not evenly divisible by
fifty were rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, except that
record holders of 25 or fewer shares received one New Share.
Certificates for Common Stock dated on or before June 17, 1996 represent
Old Shares. Certificates dated after June 17, 1996 reflect the reverse
stock split, and represent New Shares. Stockholders will be asked to
surrender all certificates representing Old Shares in exchange for
certificates representing the appropriate number of New Shares in
accordance with the procedures set forth in a letter of transmittal that
will be sent to stockholders by the Company. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT
SUBMIT THEIR CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING OLD SHARES UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY-HOLDERS.
---------------------------------------------------
The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on June 17, 1996. The
following three directors were elected to serve until the next annual
meeting of stockholders and thereafter, until their successors are elected
and qualified.
