Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property and Equipment
The Company utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting
for it's oil and gas exploration and development program. Under
this method of accounting, costs of drilling and completing
successful wells are capitalized, while costs of dry holes are
charged to expense when incurred. Depletion and amortization of
producing leasehold and mineral interests and related intangible
development costs are provided by the unit-of-production method
based on estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves prepared
by independent petroleum engineers. Lease and well equipment is
depreciated over it's estimated useful life (seven years) by the
straight-line method.
Costs of nonproducing leasehold and mineral interests are not
amortized but are charged to operations when such properties are
abandoned, surrendered, determined to be worthless or transferred
to producing properties and depleted when successfully developed.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold,
retired or otherwise disposed of, applicable costs and
accumulated depreciation and depletion are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Interest Capitalization
Interest costs applicable to the drilling and equipment of in-
progress and shut-in oil and gas wells are capitalized until such
time as the wells begin producing. There were no entries for
interest capitalization during 1996 and 1995.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding.
NOTE 2
NON CASH TRANSACTIONS
The Company had the following Sept. 30, Dec. 31,
non cash transactions during the 1997 1996
periods ending September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996 -0- -0-
NOTE 3
LONG-TERM DEBT
On June 1, 1990, the Company signed a $292,814 promissory note
with Mosbacher Energy Company (MEC) for the amount owed MEC by
General Energy Corporation for well operations as of May 7, 1990.
The note is secured by the Company's interest in eleven producing
properties operated by MEC and bears interest at 7 1/4 percent
per annum. Additional terms of the agreement call for monthly
payments of the lesser of $20,000 or the month's production to
MEC. Based on current production estimates, management expects to
reduce this loan by approximately $250 per month.
NOTE 4
INTERIM STATEMENTS
The Company believes that the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (including appropriate
provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization normally
determined at year end) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature,
except as follows:
Sept. 30, Dec. 31,
1997 1996
____ ____
Loss on Sale of Assets $32,146
Write-offs of Expired Credits $66,116
Interim financials should not necessarily be considered to be
indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
NOTE 5
CONTINGENCIES
The prices of the Company's natural gas production are subject to
the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC). The Company believes it has substantially complied with
regulations as issued.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The Company's total earned revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 totaled $69,667. This represents a decrease of
<$119,550> from the same period in 1996 and is largely the result
of a loss in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 in the
amount of <$32,146> from the sale of the Company's mineral
interest and income in the nine months ended September 30, 1996
from the write-off of expired credits in the amount of $66,116.
Total expenses decreased <$23,441> from $218,937 at September 30,
1996 to $195,496 at September 30, 1997.
The Company's net profit for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 decreased <$96,109> from <$29,720> at September 30, 1996 to
<$125,829> at September 30, 1997.
Liquidity/Capital Resources
Net cash from operating activities decreased <$58,732> to
<$60,402> at September 30, 1997 compared to <$1,670> at September
30, 1996.
Management feels that cash flows will be sufficient to pay
current operating liabilities and to amortize the remaining
current portion of it's long-term debt.
Management has developed contingency plans to obtain additional
capital by the issuance of debt or sale of equities to the extent
that these actions become necessary in the future.
