THE NEW PARAHO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES
NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of March 31, 2000 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations
for the nine month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The
June 30, 1999 balance sheet presented in this report is derived
from the June 30, 1999 audited financial statements but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally required
by generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1999 audited report in
Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 - DEBT
On May 1, 1994, the Company's line of credit from the Tell
Ertl Family Trust was increased to $5,500,000 and on June 1, 1999,
the note was amended to reflect a maturity date of July 1, 2000.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company was relieved and discharged of
all obligations to pay accrued interest on the line. In addition,
the line shall no longer accrue interest as of July 1, 1995. The
terms of the note provide that the Trust reserves the right to
approve activities and budgets of the Company during the term of
the promissory note. The balance of the note at March 31, 2000 was
$865,596.
NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
After prior approval by its board of directors, on April 13th,
2000, the Company entered into an agreement between it's parent (ERTL),
the Trust, and Capital Consulting, Inc. Under the agreement, the Company
will exchange 100% of its assets for the elimination of its debt.
Subsequent to that exchange and by June 15, 2000, ERTL has agreed to
sell its controlling interest in the Company to Capital Consulting,
Inc. A proxy statement containing the details of this transaction will
be timely filed.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company realized a decrease in working capital of $74,710
during the nine months ended March 31, 2000. Funds were primarily
provided by income from the rental of its Rifle facility. On
August 29, 1989 the Company signed an unsecured promissory note
with the Tell Ertl Family Trust. The principal amount of this note
was increased to a total of $5,500,000 on May 1, 1994. As of March
31, 2000, the Company owed $865,596 to the Trust. The funds were
used to cover the cost of operating expenses and asphalt research
and development. On December 18, 1996, the Company executed an
assignment of its interest in the note receivable from The Oil
Shale Company to the Trust in partial repayment of this note. The
Company does not expect to be able to pay the balance remaining on
this note when it becomes due.
The Company's three principal objectives include
commercialization of an oil shale derived asphalt binder, licensing
the Paraho technology, and research and development. However, at
the present time, in light of its inability to obtain commercial
financing, the Company is maintaining a minimal level of activity.
At this level, costs and expenses of $78,072 were incurred in the
nine months ended March 31, 2000. These costs have decreased
slightly as compared to the same period in the previous year.
Possible future sources of cash include revenues from the
sales of SOMAT. Additional future sources of cash may include
revenues from the performance of engineering services, or from the
use of the Company's pilot plant retort facility. Management
presently does not expect that significant revenues from these
sources will be obtained.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended March 31, 2000
Revenues of $471 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
consisting primarily of rental of its Rifle facility and some
interest income, were less than in the same quarter of the previous
year because the tenants at the facility discontinued their leases
during the period. Expenses of $16,370 for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 were also lower than the same quarter in the previous
year, because of the continuing efforts to minimize carrying costs
of this currently inactive company.
