(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001.

NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables consist principally of food industry customers operating in the United States and oil and gas purchasers. Receivables from one oil and gas customer and a food industry customer at December 31, 2001 comprised approximately 34% and 27%, respectively, of the trade receivables balance. No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided because the recorded amounts were determined to be fully collectible.
NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT
The line of credit liability represents amounts drawn under a $2,000,000 revolving credit facility with a financial institution. The credit line matures on April 25, 2002, and bears interest at one percent above the Wall Street Journal prime rate. The Company’s largest shareholder provided collateral for this loan.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Related Party
The Company has a $1,750,000 revolving line of credit, secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, bearing interest at 10%, due March 31, 2003, from ALMAC Financial Corporation, a corporation owned by the largest shareholder. At December 31, 2001 the Company had drawn $1,750,000 under the line of credit and received additional advances of funds from ALMAC in the amount of $60,470.
Other
During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, the Company borrowed $117,500 from an individual under a $150,000 note agreement which matures March 31, 2002, and bears interest at 10%.
7
NOTE 7 - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryovers of approximately $5,726,000 available to offset future income for income tax reporting purposes, which will ultimately expire in 2019, if not previously utilized.
NOTE 9 - ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim financial statements as of December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 10 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The company operates in two business segments, the sale of processed meat products and oil and gas producing activities. Factors used by management in determining reportable segments are by business area.

Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
United Heritage Corporation has its principal office in Cleburne, Texas, and operates its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Heritage Sales Corporation (“National”), UHC Petroleum Corporation (“Petroleum”), UHC Petroleum Services Corporation (“Services”), and UHC New Mexico Corporation (“New Mexico”) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). Our subsidiaries conduct business in two segments. Through National, the Company engages in operations in the meat industry, by supplying meat products to grocery store chains for retail sale to consumers. The Company’s other subsidiaries are engaged in activities related to the oil and gas industry. Petroleum is the holder of oil and gas interests in South Texas that produce from the Val Verde Basin. New Mexico holds properties in the southeastern New Mexico portion of the Permian Basin.
Meat Products
Heritage Lifestyle offers a wide variety of prepackaged fully seasoned products with full-bodied flavor to please the most discerning tastes. The products are sold from the self-service meat counter in supermarkets. The products are:
Lite Beef — 50% Less Fat & 1/3 Fewer Calories. Our flagship product, Heritage Lifestyle Lite Beef® is “Beef the way it should be!”® This trademarked line of beef is specifically bred to be lean and rich in great beef taste. The Company believes Heritage Lifestyle Lite Beef® will be a preferred beef for individuals wanting less fat, fewer calories, quicker cooking times and no compromise in flavor!
USDA Choice Beef — Heritage Lifestyle Choice Beef™ is for the discriminating beef connoisseur. Hand selected for its superior quality, Heritage Choice is designed to impress beef lovers with its premium flavor, tenderness and well marbled cuts.
Chicken — Heritage Lifestyle Chicken™ is intended to be a gourmet, low fat, high flavor choice for many recipes. Two boneless, skinless breast selections are pre-seasoned for full bodied flavor….Santa Fe Brand Grill, in southwestern style; and Four Seasons for everyday recipes. Oriental marinated thigh meat… China Wok Stir Fry is perfect for a quick and easy sauté.
Pork — Heritage Lifestyle Pork™ contains marinated cuts that are rich in flavor and ready for the grill, skillet or oven. Chop House Special Pork packs thick boneless chops with five-star restaurant taste. Our Blue Ribbon Pork Roast is a signature fresh ham - oven or smoker ready and seasoned to perfection. Hunan Brand Pork Stir Fry turns any skillet into a tasty walk around China Town.
The Company presently sells Heritage Lifestyle ProductsÔ in 757 stores of two major supermarket’s California and Nevada divisions. While the Company is urging these customers to
10
offer the Company’s meat products in some or all of their approximately 4,803 additional stores in other areas, there can be no assurance that these efforts will succeed.
National has employed Mark Church to head National’s operations. Mr. Church’s employment was part of an initiative by the Company to revitalize National’s existing customers and to obtain new customers.
Mr. Church has been successful in making presentations to several major chains, as well as regional chains on both the east and west coasts. Further, he is pursuing the possibility of having National’s products sold through T.V. shopping networks. However, no assurances can be made that any of these efforts will be successful.
On August 6, 2001 the Company issued a press release and filed an 8-K with the SEC that stated that the Company is seeking “strategic transactions”. One such transaction is the possibility of the spin-off of National Heritage Sales, the subsidiary that purveys Heritage Lifestyle ProductsÔ, to the existing shareholders, or, in the alternative, the sale of all or part of National.
Oil and Gas
Texas - | 10,500 ACRES |
| Val Verde Basin |
Subsequent to the settlement of the litigation against the field engineers who damaged the initial A-S-P Pilot designed by Surtek, Inc., management has strongly considered the initiation of a pilot flood test in the “C” zone of the Glen Rose formation. This zone is below the “A” zone which was the zone of interest in the original test and it is believed that it was not damaged. The original 13 wells would be utilized as well as much of the existing equipment. To evaluate the “C” zone by core analysis, 4 off-set wells to the existing pilot have been drilled. One has been cored and the core sent to “Core Laboratories” with promising results. Three additional cores are scheduled.
In the press release and 8-K filed on August 6, 2001, the Company stated it is seeking “strategic transactions.” Such transactions include an “Industry Partner” to drill the “Deep-Gas Prospect” (8,500’ to 10,200’) in the south Texas field or to sell all or part of the deep rights owned by the Company. Also, the Company is seeking development funds or a partner for the shallow Glen Rose development. The Company may sell all or part of the Glen Rose.
On June 18, 2001 United Heritage Corporation received an engineering study of its south Texas oil field which showed proved reserves of 26,613,002 net barrels. Note 14 to the financials of the 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2001, estimates a value of these proven reserves net of future production costs, future development costs, future income tax expense, and less 10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows of $92,955,000.
11
New Mexico - | 20,000 Acres |
| Permian Basin |
UHC New Mexico Corporation has received an engineering report prepared by Robin B. LeBleu, petroleum engineer, for a previous operator of the Cato San Andres Unit, Kelt Energy, Inc. This report was prepared on the results of a pilot water flood in the northeast portion of the Cato San Andres Unit, and was conducted in an effort to provide estimates of the amount of recoverable oil within the unit utilizing the secondary recovery method of water flooding. Mr. LeBleu had estimated the total remaining recoverable oil from current production methods (primary) and water flooding (secondary) to be 22,101,000 net barrels. Nothing substantial has occurred in the field since this report; it is considered relevant. However, UHC New Mexico Corporation is seeking a current report estimating “proved reserves.” At this time no value has been assigned by UHC New Mexico Corporation to “proven reserves.”
Management has decided to spend the appropriate time production testing the producing wells in New Mexico. Also, it will expand its swabbing area on a well by well basis. The Company does not intend to drill any additional “infill” wells in the immediate future or to initiate any extensive re-work or re-completion programs. This may allow the Company to accumulate cash and pay down debt from existing production.
However, the Company is seeking strategic transactions which include industry partners, raising development funds, exploring CO2 flood potential, or the sale of all or part of the New Mexico properties.
General
The oil and gas properties outlined above were presented, by United Heritage Corporation, at the “Producing Property Exchange” in Houston, Texas during the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Considerable interest has been generated because of this showing. Also, these properties were presented at NAPE (North American Prospect Expo) in Houston during the week of January 28, 2002. Currently there are several individuals and/or companies interested in one or all of the properties. However, nothing material may occur.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
Meat Products. Revenues for the Company’s meat products were $79,230 and $410,649 for the quarter and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2001, respectively. Revenues for the quarter and nine-month periods for the prior year were $693,314 and $1,600,405. Sales levels have declined from the prior year periods due primarily to a lower volume of meat sold to the Company’s largest customer.
Gross profit from meat products was $30,402 for the nine-month period ended
December 31, 2001, as compared with $295,954 gross for the same period last year. The cost of meat products as a percentage of sales was 92% for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 as compared to 81.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The increase in the cost of meat products over the same period last year is due primarily to changes in product mix and lower volumes.
12
Oil and Gas. Gross sales of oil and gas were $86,318 and $432,318 for the quarter and nine-months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. Revenues from the sale of oil and gas for the prior year periods were $22,214 and $70,522, respectively. Revenues have increased for the current year due to increases in volume produced and sold. Production costs were $427,743 and $40,919 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Production costs as a percentage of revenue have increased in the current year reporting periods due to declines in sale prices of gas and, to a lesser extent, oil.
General. Selling expenses of $27,045 and $156,253 for the current three month and nine-month period, respectively, have decreased as compared to the prior year amounts of $108,975 and $228,474, due to lower volumes. General and administrative costs have also declined due to cost reductions.
On a consolidated basis, the Company had a net loss for the current nine-month period of $870,680 as compared to the net loss of $567,573 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000. The primary reason for the change from 2000 to 2001 was the reduced volume of meat products, the decline in oil and gas prices and increased interest costs.
Material Changes in Financial Position
During the nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Company applied cash of $493,963 to its operations, $252,405 to investments in the oil and gas operations of its Subsidiaries and, equipment purchases of $124,102. An affiliate of the Company’s largest shareholder advanced $752,970 in connection with these expenditures. Also, $117,500 was borrowed under a note payable to an individual. By comparison, the Company’s operating activities used $267,063 of cash flow during the nine months ended December 31, 2000. Investing activities used cash of $1,713,031 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000, primarily due to additions to oil and gas properties. The prior year activities were financed primarily from $2,000,000 of advances under a credit line.
At December 31, 2001, the Company had minimal cash. If internally generated cash flows are not adequate for all company purposes, the Company may have to call upon its largest shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, Walter G. Mize, for additional advances by an entity controlled by him or seek other sources. There can be no assurance that such financing will be obtained.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2001, Mr. Mize’s affiliate advanced the amounts indicated above up to the stated line of credit of $1.75 million. Also, he agreed to advance additional funds, if necessary, up to $2,000,000. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and Subsidiaries’ assets. At December 31, 2001, $1,810,470 was advanced. At February 8, 2002, the outstanding balance was $1,829,170, leaving $170,830 available. The Company’s other line of credit remains fully drawn.

As noted above, the Company is seeking strategic transactions that might involve a sale or assignment of all or portion of the Company’s interests in the oil and gas properties of its Subsidiaries. Also, management is considering possible transactions involving National’s meat operations.
The Company’s equity capital has shown a decrease of $749,574 since March 31, 2001, the previous fiscal year-end. This decrease is primarily the result of the net loss for the nine-month period.
The working capital of the Company was a $2,376,112 deficit for the period ended December 31, 2001 an increase of $323,253 as compared to the working capital deficit reported at March 31, 2001. Current assets decreased $94,651 during the period primarily due to the accounts receivable decrease. Current liabilities increased $228,602 primarily due to additional funds borrowed and increased accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Total assets of the Company were $31,301,903 for the period ended December 31, 2001, which is $231,998 greater than total assets at the previous year-end. This increase in total assets is primarily due to the capitalization of oil and gas development costs on the Company’s oil and gas properties.
