                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


Item 1.  Basis of Presentation.

The financial  statements  presented herein were prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly the statements presented do not include
all  the  information  and  note  disclosure   required  by  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  The statements  should be read in conjunction  with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant's Form 10- KSB
for the year ended March 31, 1997. The  accompanying  financial  statements have
not been audited by independent  accountants  but, in the opinion of management,
contain  all  adjustments,  all of  which  were of a  normal  recurring  nature,
necessary to summarize fairly the Registrant's financial position and results of
operations.  The results of  operations  for the nine months ended  December 31,
1997 may not be  indicative  of the results  that may be  expected  for the year
ending March 31, 1998.


Item 2/3.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This discussion  should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements of
WestAmerica  Corporation and the notes related thereto  included under Item 1 of
this report.

MD&A CAPITAL RESOURCES & LIQUIDITY

Consolidated  current  assets  increased  $66,000 to  $1,178,000 at December 31,
1997,  compared  to  $1,112,000  at  September  30,  1997.  Current  liabilities
increased  $799,000 to $1,716,000 at December 31, 1997,  compared to $978,000 at
September 30, 1997. The increase in current liabilities was primarily the result
of a receipt of $500,000  from Ed Foraker as a refundable  deposit on a purchase
contract for certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities in the oil
and gas  subsidiary at December 31, 1997, and accrued  payroll of $145,000.  The
Registrant has received from Capital Investment  Partners,  Inc. ("Capital") the
assurance that Capital will fund any cash flow short fall and provide  liquidity
for the foreseeable future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1997, were $376,000 compared to
oil and gas operating  revenues of $357,000 for the three months ended  December
31,  1996.  The increase in revenue was due to an increase in oil and gas sales,
drilling, recompletion and service income.
<PAGE>
Expenses  attributable to oil and gas operations increased $52,000 to a total of
$324,000 for the three months ended  December 31, 1996,  to $365,000 due to cost
of oil and gas operations  for the three months ended  December 31, 1997.  Costs
and Expenses  increased  primarily due to a $760,000 advance for the preparation
and  development  of the  company's  entry into the  destination/leisure  resort
business, and a $24,000 decrease at the oil and gas operations selling,  general
and administrative  expenses, and a $22,000 increase in depreciation,  depletion
and  amortization.  Net gain from oil and gas operations  decreased from $33,000
for the three months ended  December 31, 1996,  to a net gain of $11,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997.


                                     PART II
                                OTHER INFORMATION

Item 4

A. WestAmerica  Corporation,  on January 8, 1998, signed a purchase agreement to
acquire a 285 acre site, located on U.S. Highway 27, approximately 4 miles south
of U.S.  Highway  192 and 4 miles  north of  Federal  Interstate  Highway 4. The
contract calls for a closing on 35 acres for $700,000 on or before June 10, 1998
with the remaining 250 acres at a cost of $5,000,000  over a one and a half year
period  thereafter.  WestAmerica  Corporation  plans to develop 750  residential
units (39,000 timeshare weeks), an 18 hole championship golf course,  clubhouse,
swimming pool, shopping arcade and other facilities on the property.

B.  WestAmerica  is one of  several  guarantors  to a  certain  mortgage  in the
original  principal  amount of  $1,267,951.40  dated May 26, 1995 in conjunction
with a prior investment in a restaurant  venture in New Mexico during 1995 known
as B.C.  Village  Inn  Partners,  Limited  Partnership.  The  cost of the  total
property securing the mortgage,  including land, building and improvements,  and
furniture fixtures and equipment,  was $1,490,467.  Foreclosure proceedings were
initiated on November 17, 1997 by the mortgage  holders  against  parties  other
than  WestAmerica  as well as litigation  to enforce the  guarantee  against the
Registrant.   WestAmerica   intends  to  vigorously   defend  the  ligation  and
anticipates  that  there is  sufficient  equity in the  property  to offset  any
potential liability under the mortgage guarantee.


Item 5.

A. WestAmerica issued convertible  debentures to seven accredited  investors for
the period  September  24,  1997  through  December  31, 1997 and  received  net
proceeds of $867,580.  The company issued to such investors  6,435,740 shares of
common stock upon conversion of the debentures.

B. WestAmerica Corporation has completed its divestiture of the subsidiary,  ECC
Energy Corporation  ("ECC") a California  Corporation,  to Edward R. Foraker, of
Scottsdale,  Arizona,  effective as of January 1, 1998.  WestAmerica  sold to Ed
Foraker  2,072,484 shares of ECC Common Stock,  representing  100% of the issued
and  outstanding  shares of all  classes  of stock of ECC,  which  were owned by
WestAmerica prior to the Purchase Date (the "Shares").

WestAmerica  received  $500,000  in cash from  Foraker.  Foraker  also agreed in
addition  to the  Purchase  Price to assume  and  guarantee  $2,000,000  for the
purchase  and or exchange of  WestAmerica's  Preferred  Stock (the  "WestAmerica
Preferred Shareholders"). The parties agreed that the stated value of such
WestAmerica Preferred Stock is $2,000,000.
<PAGE>
C. WestAmerica  Corporation (the "Registrant") and Capital Investment  Partners,
Inc.,  ("Capital") a Delaware Corporation,  have agreed to extend until December
31, 1999  Capital's  prior  commitment to fund up to $4,000,000 in total working
capital to the Registrant.

D. On August 11, 1997, the Registrant  issued 9,500,000 newly issued  restricted
Common  Shares  (the  "Acquisition  Shares")  to Capital for all of the stock of
Sportsworld  2000 Resort,  Inc., a Florida  Corporation.  500,000 of such shares
were,  issued by Capital to a non-affiliated  finder (and certain members of the
finder's  family)  who  introduced  Capital to the  Registrant  and  assisted in
bringing about the transaction. The transaction is reflected in the December 31,
1997 Balance Sheet and the Acquisition Shares were accounted for at par value.
