NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1999
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, the statements of operations
for the six months and three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the
statement of stockholders' equity for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and
the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. The preparation of
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
March 31, 1999 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals have been condensed or omitted as permitted by
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the September 30, 1998
financial statements of CLX Energy, Inc., the notes thereto and the
Independent Auditors' Report thereon.
Note B - Net income (loss) per common share
Net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period as illustrated below:
Six Months Ended Three Months Ended

Options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at
March 31, 1999 (475,000 at March 31, 1998) but were not included in the
computation of diluted net loss per share because the result would be
antidilutive.
Note C - Preferred stock and common stock
On February 2, 1999, the Company completed a private placement of 5,773,793
shares of it's $.01 par value common stock for $275,000. The investors in the
private placement also agreed to provide guarantees of bank loans or interim
financing as necessary to a maximum of $300,000 for property acquisitions
during the period from February 2, 1999 to February 2, 2002.
Simultaneous with the completion of the private placement, the preferred stock
of the Company, including the accrued but unpaid dividends, was converted into
common stock of the Company at an exchange rate of five shares of common stock
for each share of preferred stock including accrued but unpaid dividends. A
total of 670,005 shares of common stock were issued.
Prior to the completion of the private offering, the Officers and Directors of
the Company agreed to cancel their outstanding stock options previously granted
to them. As a result, options on 425,000 shares of common stock were canceled.
As of February 2, 1999 the Company currently has options for 50,000 shares of
common stock outstanding that were issued in 1994 in connection with the
acquisition of an oil and gas property. The Company did not cancel the
previously adopted stock option plans.
Note D - Unusual expenses
The amount reflected as unusual expenses in the statements of operations
represents the Company's share of a settlement with the Wind River Tax
Commission concerning royalty calculations for gas sold from a gas field from
1988 to 1995. All working interest owners approved settling the dispute to
avoid the cost of litigation. The Company sold its interest in the gas
property in 1995.
Note E - Contingency
The Company has been advised by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company that on
September 10, 1997 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an
order that requires first sellers of gas to make refunds for all Kansas Ad
Valorem tax reimbursements collected for the period from October 3, 1983
through June 28, 1988, with interest.
This claim resulted from a FERC order issued September 10, 1997 which stated
that ad valorem tax levied by the State of Kansas could not be considered as an
add-on to the Maximum Lawful Price (MLP) of gas sold under the NGPA of 1978
covering the period from October 3, 1983 through June 28, 1988. This order
reversed the FERC rules in effect during that time period that ad valorem taxes
paid to the State of Kansas by producers could be recovered from the pipeline
company by the producers over and above the MLP of gas sold under the
guidelines set forth in the NGPA of 1978.
The predecessor of the Company, Calvin Exploration Inc. was operator of certain
Kansas gas wells during the period covered by the order. Panhandle Eastern
Pipe Line Company has advised the Company that Calvin Exploration Inc., as
first seller, was paid $57,732 in Kansas Ad Valorem taxes. The Company was
also advised that as successor in interest to the first seller, the amount of
the refund that must be repaid with interest approximated $196,000 on the
original due date of March 9, 1998.
On February 6, 1998 the Company filed a request for Staff review with the FERC
relative to their order. The Company asked that the Company be responsible
only for reimbursement of ad valorem taxes attributable to its working interest
in the properties subject to the FERC order, that the Company not be required
to reimburse taxes on behalf of royalty owners since such taxes are not
recoverable from the royalty owners, and that the Company be allowed to service
it's reimbursement obligation over a five year period due to the financial
hardship which would result from one lump sum payment.
The Company has received various correspondence from the FERC concerning its
request for Staff review, the latest dated December 4, 1998. In this letter
the Company was advised that it was responsible only for reimbursement of it's
working interest share of the total refund. Additional information was
requested prior to the Commission making a decision to relieve the Company of
the obligation to reimburse taxes on behalf of the royalty owners. The request
for installment payments was not addressed. The Company was futher advised
that the FERC staff expected to make a decision on the Company's request by
May 4, 1999 which date has been extended to October 1, 1999.
On March 12, 1999 the Missouri Public Service Commission filed a Petition for
Review with the U.S. Court of Appeals. The Petition requests a review of
certain orders issued by FERC with respect to the Company. Counsel for the
Company has filed a motion for Leave to Intervene in the proceeding.
A total of $47,300 has been booked as a current liability as March 31, 1999
($45,400 at September 30, 1998) covering the Company's working interest share
of the total reimbursement claim. If the FERC rules that the Company is
responsible for reimbursement for its proportionate share of tax refunds
received by royalty owners, this amount would be increased by approximately
$5,400.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments
On February 2, 1999, the Company completed a private placement of 5,773,793
shares for $275,000. The investors in the private placement also agreed to
provide guarantees of bank loans or interim financing as necessary to a
maximum of $300,000 for property acquisitions.
Under current prices for oil and gas, net cash flows from oil and gas sales
does not cover fixed costs of the Company. Cash flows from oil and gas sales
have decreased by approximately 40% as a result of depressed oil and gas
prices and declining production. This has resulted in net cash flow failing to
cover fixed costs. The Company currently has a working capital of
approximately $159,000.
Internally, the Company does not expect to be adversely affected by the year
2000 (Y2K) problem. The Company's use of computers is minimal and any work
performed by computer programs can be done manually. The Company does not know
the extent to which purchasers of its oil and gas production will be affected
by the Y2K problem.
The Company currently is attempting to purchase producing oil and gas
properties.
Analysis of Results of Operations
Oil and gas sales decreased for the six months and the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as a result of lower oil and gas prices and declining
production.
Lease operating expenses and production taxes decreased for the six months and
the three months ended March 31, 1999 due to lower production taxes as a result
of the decrease in sales, and a general decrease in operating costs caused by
mild weather conditions. Depreciation and depletion decreased as a result of
declining oil and gas production. General and administrative expenses
decreased for the six months and the three months ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to the prior periods primarily due to reduced salary expense.
Unusual expenses in 1999 represented an amount paid to resolve a dispute
regarding Royalty calculations for gas sold from 1988 to 1995. There were no
unusual expenses in 1998.
