PART III -- NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. The registrant recently changed its principal corporate office from New York City to Denver, Colorado and, contemporaneously with that move, made personnel changes and changes in arrangements for the maintenance of bookkeeping and accounting functions as well as in banking and record keeping procedures. As a result, more time was required than had been anticipated for the collection and analysis of the information needed for preparation of the registrant's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed) PART IV-- OTHER INFORMATION (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification Stuart G. Schwartz (Name) 212 (Area Code) 385-0668 (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [X] No [_] (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes [X] No [_] If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. It is estimated that net loss for the fiscal year being reported on will be approximately $3,387,000 greater than the net loss for the preceding fiscal year, primarily because of increases of approximately $1,519,000 in exploration expense, $583,000 in research and development expense, $234,000 in depreciation, depletion and amortization, $105,000 in operating lease expense, $493,000 in impairment of oil and gas properties and $534,000 in general and administrative expense, which are partially offset by an approximately $68,000 decrease in net interest expense and an approximately $13,000 increase in operating revenue.
