in the three-year period = ended December 31, 1997 as previously

associated with the TECO Oil and Gas Properties from $2,491,825

expenses discussed in numerical paragraph 7(a), hereinabove;  and

               (ii) correct the Adjustment for "Other income
(expense), net" from $5,069,800 to ($5,069,800), the brackets

                   Independent Auditors' Report



To the Board of Directors
American Resources of Delaware, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and
direct operating expenses of the TECO Oil and Gas Properties
purchased by American Resources of Delaware, Inc. for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997.  These
statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are the
responsibility of the property owner's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements of
revenues and direct operating expenses based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
statements of revenues and direct operating expenses.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the statements of revenues and direct
operating expenses.  We believe that our audits of the statements
of revenues and direct operating expenses provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements were prepared as described in note 1
for the purpose of complying with certain rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for inclusion in
certain SEC regulatory reports and filings and are not intended
to be a complete financial presentation.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of revenues and
direct operating expenses present fairly, in all material
respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the TECO
Oil and Gas Properties purchased by American Resources of
Delaware, Inc. for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

  Notes to Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying statements present the revenues and direct
     operating expenses of the working interests in certain oil
     and gas properties purchased by American Resources of
     Delaware, Inc. (ARI) from TECO Oil & Gas, Inc. (TECO) in
     February 1998 for approximately $57.7 million in cash and
     notes payable.  The TECO Oil and Gas Properties are located
     in 41 offshore blocks in the Gulf of Mexico and include
     producing properties and certain unproved properties.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
     statements shown contain all adjustments, consisting only of
     those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present
     fairly the Company's revenues and direct operating expenses
     for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.  These
     results = are not indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full fiscal years.

     The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating
     expenses were derived from the historical accounting records
     of TECO.  The statements include only the oil and gas
     revenues and direct lease operating expenses attributable to
     the TECO Oil and Gas Properties and are not intended to be a
     complete set of financial statements.  Oil and gas revenues
     and direct lease operating expenses included herein are not
     necessarily representative of future operations. 
     Additionally, the statements do not include depreciation,
     depletion and amortization, general and administrative
     expenses, interest income or expense, or federal and state
     income taxes since historical expenses of this nature
     incurred by TECO are not necessarily indicative of the costs
     to be incurred by ARI.  Presentation of full historical
     financial statements is not practicable as these properties
     were never separately audited and such financial statements
     are not reasonably available.

     Historical financial information reflecting financial
     position, results of operations and cash flows are not
     presented because the purchase price was assigned to the oil
     and gas property interests acquired.  Accordingly, the
     historical statements of revenues and direct operating
     expenses are presented in lieu of the financial statements
     required under Rule 3-05 of Securities and Exchange
     Commission Regulation S-X.

                               F-3

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The sales method is used for accounting for gas revenues.

(2)  CAPITAL EXPENDITURES (UNAUDITED)

     Direct operating expenses do not include exploration and
     development expenditures related to the properties which
     totaled approximately $6,533,456, $4,350,095 and $289,760
     for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.

(3)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Management is unaware of any legal, environmental or other
     commitments or contingencies that would be materially
     important in relation to  these statements of revenues and
     direct operating expenses.

(4)  SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

     Total proved and proved developed oil and gas reserves of
     the TECO Oil and Gas Properties for the periods presented
     have been estimated based on reserve estimates prepared by
     Ryder Scott Company as of July, 1, 1997 and December 31,
     1997.  The future net cash flows from production of these
     proved reserve quantities were computed by applying current
     prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
     only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) as
     of the report date to estimated future production of proved
     oil and gas reserves less the estimated future expenditures
     (based on current costs) as of the report date to be
     incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves. 
     Changes in reserve estimates were derived by adjusting such
     quantities and values for actual production using current
     prices and costs.
