                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

      In the first quarter of 1996, the Company hooked-up six wells to oil 
gathering lines, initiated three well work-overs and drilled three dry holes in 
the Potany/Kartopyinskoye (P&K) license area. At the Kamennoye East license 
area, the Company successfully worked-over one well but failed to achieve 
expected results with two additional work-overs. At the Kamennoye West license 
area, the Company's Russian drilling contractor drilled six wellbores to within 
100 meters above the Cretaceous formation. (By June 24, the drilling contractor 
had drilled twelve wellbores to within 100 meters of the Cretaceous objective.) 
The Company's own drilling rig, with a specialized drilling package for the 
underbalanced drilling program required to complete in the Cretaceous objective,
was shipped to the license area.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information 
regarding Technical Service Agreement (TSA) average daily oil production, oil 
production sold, average TSA revenue receipts per Bbl sold and amortization and 
expenses attributable to such production. No depreciation, depletion or 
amortization was recorded on the Company's investment in the Black Gold Joint 
Venture since the venture has not achieved production in excess of designated 
baseline levels.

QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

      TSA - Revenue. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 
increased by $112,567 to $3,250,185 from $3,137,618 in the same period in 1995. 
TSA revenue increased on lower sales volumes because of higher crude prices.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
      Pipeline Repair Revenue. Total pipeline repair revenue for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1996 increased to $1,156,880 from $0 in the same period in 1995.
This is a result of the Company's acquisition of the Bandera Group in July of 
1995.

      Production Taxes and Fees. Production taxes and fees for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 increased by $468,237 to $1,781,046 from $1,312,809 in the same 
period for 1995. Production taxes and fees increased due to higher lease 
operating expenses and due to production taxes in the Khanty Mansiysk region of 
western Siberia.

      General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased by $688,120 to $1,344,217 from $656,097 
for the same period in 1995. The increase was the result of expanding operations
activity in the Black Gold Joint Venture and Kamennoye East license area and 
additional business expenses associated with marketing and capital formation 
efforts.

      Interest and Loan Fees. Interest and loan fees for the quarter ended March
31, 1996 increased by $941,966 to $1,041,035 from $99,069 for the same period in
1995. The incrase in interest expense and loan fees was principally the result 
of accrued interest on the Carnegie loan and amortization of the associated 
warrants.

      Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for 
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased by $678,284 to $861,354 from $183,070
for the same period in 1995. The increase resulted from amortization of the 
intangible assets obtained in the purchase of 54.5% of the Bandera Group 
(Bandera), and to a higher charge to depreciation for equipment obtained in the 
Bandera purchase and for new corporate assets purchased as the Company's 
business activity expanded.

      Other (Income) and Expense. Other income and expense for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 increased by $659,419 to income of $669,867 from income of 
$10,448 for the same period in 1995. The increase reflects interest income from 
loans the Company made to Bandera prior to the closing date of the purchase 
transaction, interest due on the Convertible Note due from Aitorneftegaz (ANG), 
interest income from a promissory note due from Kachina Capital Corporation 
(KCC) and interest income from loans made to certain entities to fund the 
Company's sulfur processing and trading plans.

      Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 
decreased $495,417 to $4,528 from ($490,889) for the same period in 1995. 
Deferred income taxes arise primarily from timing differences between the book 
and tax basis of Bandera's intangible assets and from the Russian treatment of 
the Company's advances under the TSAs. The change in deferred taxes as reported 
in the Company's financial statements is due to the amortization of the step-up 
in the basis of Bandera's assets. The Company's Russian branch, however, has a 
deferred foreign tax liability from on-going operations.

      Net Income (Loss). The Company had a net loss of $1,153,114 for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1996, as compared to a net a income of $284,133 for the 
1995 period. Net loss for the 1996 period was the result of TSA revenue and 
interest income, reduced by general and administrative expense, oil and gas 
operations expense, interest expense and loan fees, TSA amortization expense and
Xavier's $218,669 net share of Bandera's operating losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has an immediate need for cash to meet it currently due 
obligations. At March 31, 1996, the Company had $388,217 of unrestricted cash on
hand. Of the available cash on hand, $238,802 was attributable to Bandera, and 
as such, was unavailable to the Company. Bandera's future cash position will be 
determined by its success in winning all or a portion of $10,400,000 in bids 
outstanding and the profits margins realized on its $1,370,000 backlog of 
contracts at March 22, 1996. Bandera began factoring some of its accounts 
receivable in January 1996 to raise cash.

      In January 1996, Xavier received $2,000,000 from PETECO, a partner in the 
P&K and Kamennoye East TSA's. In March 1996, the Company received $1,000,000 
before deductions of commissions and fees from the sale of equity via a private 
placement. In April 1996 the Company sold 3,365,385 shares of common stock for 
$3,143,000 before commissions and related fees. The proceeds were used to pay 
drilling costs of $1,275,000 in the West Kamennoye license area, to provide a 
non-refundable agency fee of $1,000,000 for a bond placement contract, and for 
working capital. In June 1996, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note 
for SEK 57,695,000 (US$9,025,000) under the same terms and conditions as the 
December 1995 Carnegie note. The Company must also issue a yet to be determined 
number of warrants to Morgan Grenfell International Funds, Ltd. which 
facilitated the additional funding tranche of the Carnegie loan. Funds from the 
note proceeds were disbursed as follows: $3.6 million to settle litigation (see 
note 4); $2,000,000 to Brimstone Sales Corporation to facilitate the buying and 
re-selling of ammonium nitrate (see note 6); and, the remainder to reduce 
accounts payable and for general corporate purposes.

      The Company has verbally rescheduled payment of the principal and interest
outstanding under a promissory note due December 31, 1995 aggregating 265,000 to
June 30, 1996. The Company also extended the conversion terms of a convertible 
note in the amount of $500,000 due December 31, 1995 to April 15, 1996. This 
convertible note was subsequently converted to equity in the second quarter of 
1996. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company also made a payment of $147,000 
in connection with the Gazprom joint venture (which payment was made in the 
fourth quarter of 1995 by the Company's 54.5%-owned subsidiary, Bandera, and 
which Xavier repaid to Bandera in the first quarter of 1996). In the second 
quarter, the Company advanced $2,028,000 to facilitate the buying and reselling 
of ammonium nitrate from a Russian supplier to a western buyer (see Note 6). To 
date, the Company's aggregate investment in the Gazprom joint venture totals 
$2,930,000. In addition to its capital requirements for proposed field 
development plans described below, the Company, in association with the 
formation of Genesis Eurasia Xavier (GEX) in 1994, entered into a credit 
agreement with Genesis Eurasia Corporation (GEC). The agreement requires the 
Company to advance a maximum of $40,000 per month to GEC through April 1, 1997. 
The advances bear interest at 12%, are payable in monthly amounts, including 
interest, and are collateralized by GEC's interest in GEX. The advances mature 
no later than April 1, 2000, at which time all unpaid advances and accrued 
interest are due. At March 31, 1996, the Company had advances of $930,000 and 
accrued interest of $110,232 due from GEC.

      The Company's principal future capital commitments arise under the 
Kamennoye East and Kamennoye West TSAs. Each of these TSAs has contractual 
requirements that obligate the Company to contribute a minimum amount of funds 
per year for a specified number of years unless, in the case of Kamennoye East 
TSA, the Company determines that development of the license area becomes 
uneconomic. Under the Kamennoye West TSA, the Company agreed to make

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
aggregate capital contributions of $75,000,000 payable over a five-year period 
ending in 2000 at the rate of $15,000,000 per year. The Kamennoye East TSA 
requires aggregate capital contributions of $40,000,000 payable over a four year
period. Such funds may be supplied to the development of either the Kamennoye 
East or P&K fields. The Company is obligated to fund 90% of such amount at the 
rate of $9,000,000 per year in each of 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. The Company 
and PETECO have agreed to reinvest the first $8,000,000 of TSA net revenue under
each of the Kamennoye East TSA and the P&K TSA in the development of the 
applicable license area with such reinvestment to be applied to the Company's 
contractual commitments under the Kamennoye East TSA. Annual field development 
expenditures or capital contributions in excess of the annual minimum 
requirements specified in the Kamennoye East and Kamennoye West TSAs may be 
carried forward and applied against the following year's contractual capital 
spending requirements. In January 1996, the Company received $2.0 million from 
PETECO, which reduced its TSA advance account balance. This transfer, when added
to the net reinvested revenue from P&K and Kamennoye East from first quarter 
1996 sales, resulted in a remaining contractual investment requirement of $13.9 
million. At March 31, 1996, the Company had committed approximately $10.0
million towards the $15 million contractual capital commitment at Kamennoye
West. The Kamennoye West TSA commitment year runs from July to June.

      The Company believes that cash flow from operations will be insufficient 
to meet its 1996 capital needs by approximately $26,540,000. The Company intends
to seek such additional required capital primarily through a combination of 
funding sources that may include offerings of equity and debt securities, 
including possible public offerings in the United States and internationally 
which the Company believes will be facilitated by its domestication in the 
United States. In addition, the Company has entered into discussions with 
certain entities concerning the private placement in Europe of up to $100 
million in convertible debentures. Xavier has no definitive agreement with 
respect to the issue of such private placement and there can be no assurances 
that such an agreement will be concluded. In connection with any such offerings,
effective January 1, 1996, the Company and Kachina Capital Corp. (KCC) 
terminated their verbal agreement whereby Xavier had agreed to pay KCC an amount
equal to 2% of all amounts raised in public or private offerings of debt or 
equity.

      The Company may also seek to finance a portion of its capital needs with 
borrowings under the Line of Credit. The Line of Credit provides for a maximum 
borrowing of $12,000,000, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2% compounded daily, is 
unsecured and has a term of one year from the first drawdown. The Line of Credit
requires the Company to maintain a compensating balance of $1,000,000, which has
been paid, and pay an annual commitment fee of $100,000 to maintain the Line of 
Credit and a $60,000 administration fee. On the initial drawdown under the Line 
of Credit, the Company is required to issue the lending institution 1,500,000 
Common Shares and 500,000 Common Share purchase warrants exercisable at CDN$2.00
per warrant and expiring in May 1997. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are 
subject to the lender's due diligence and to the presentation of all appropriate
documentation by the Company. The Company paid the compensating balance in May 
and June 1995. The Company intends to ask the credit provider to activate the 
$12 million line of credit by June 30, 1996. If the lender is unwilling to 
provide the credit facility, the Company will ask for the return of the 
$1,000,000 commitment fee that was prepaid for the availability of the line of 
credit.

      Subsequent to the Company's domestication in the United States, the 
Company expects to be in a better position to seek capital and/or loan 
guarantees from U.S. and foreign governmental and quasi-governmental agencies in
connection with its Russian projects. The Company may also seek an industry 
partner looking for an entrance into the Russian oil and gas arena or could sell
an

interest in one or more of its concessions to a third party. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining the funds
required to meet its capital needs on a timely basis or, if it is successful,
that the terms on which such funds are obtained will be advantageous to the
Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital in a timely
manner, either as described above or otherwise, it would be forced to delay the
development of the properties and/or seek to renegotiate its obligations under
the TSAs, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company. There can be no assurance
that the Company would be able to renegotiate its obligations under the TSAs if
required to do so.

     The Company has entered into Interest Purchase Agreements, effective
November 3, 1993, with each of Mr. Dittmar and Mr. Bowman pursuant to which the
Company acquired its initial rights in and to certain of its properties.  The
Interest Purchase Agreements, among other things, grant to each of Mr. Dittmar
and Mr. Bowman a non-assignable royalty of 1.0% of all earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization in and from all properties and/or projects
identified and/or introduced to Xavier, with certain limited exceptions.
Messrs. Dittmar and Bowman have the right to collateralize their respective
royalty interests against the properties subject thereto.
