PART I
Item No. 1. Business
--------
Mexco Energy Corporation (the "Registrant"), a Colorado corporation, was
organized in 1972, and maintains its principal office at 1101 Petroleum
Building, Midland, Texas. Since its incorporation, the Registrant has been
engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas
properties located in the United States. The bulk of its activities are, and
have been since its incorporation, conducted in the State of Texas.
The Registrant's corporate name was formerly Miller Oil Company. In 1980
the shareholders of the Registrant amended the Articles of Incorporation
("Articles") of the Registrant to change the corporate name to Mexco Energy
Corporation. Also at that time, the shareholders of the Registrant approved
amendments to the Articles resulting in a one-for-fifty reverse stock split of
the Registrant's common stock ($0.50 par value). The corporate name change and
reverse stock split became effective April 30, 1980.
The Registrant's operations are not divided into industry segments. Since
its inception, the Registrant's entire business has been acquiring, and
developing oil and gas properties and producing oil and gas within the oil and
gas industry. All sales of oil and gas are to unaffiliated customers. See the
Registrant's financial statements and notes thereto for an account of the
Registrant's past operating results attributable to its oil and gas operations.
The Registrant acquires interests in producing and non-producing oil and
gas leases purchased from landowners and leaseholders in areas considered
favorable for oil and gas exploration and production by the Registrant. In
addition, oil and gas prospects are acquired by joining with other oil and gas
operators in drilling prospects which such third parties have generated. The
Registrant employs a combination of the above methods of obtaining producing
acreage and related prospects. In recent years, the Registrant has been placing
primary emphasis on evaluation and purchase of producing oil and gas properties.
As of March 31, 1996, the Registrant held leasehold rights covering in
excess of 59,928 gross acres (2,207 net acres), all of which have producing oil
and gas wells located thereon. The Registrant is the operator of seven (7) of
the producing wells in which it owns an interest and other companies operate
eight hundred sixty-eight (868) of the remaining producing wells.
The Registrant's oil and gas activities involve oil and gas drilling, which
carries high risk including the risk that no commercial oil or gas production
will be obtained. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often
uncertain. Further, drilling may be curtailed or delayed as a result of many
factors, including title problems, weather conditions, delivery delays, and in
past years, shortage of pipe and equipment.
3
The Registrant is subject to all the risks inherent in the exploration for,
and development and production of, oil and gas, including blowouts, fires, and
other casualties. The Registrant maintains insurance coverage but losses can
occur from uninsured risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance
coverage. The occurrence of an event which is not insured or not fully insured
could have an adverse impact upon the Registrant.
The oil and gas industry in which the Registrant is engaged is a highly
competitive and speculative business. Competitors include well-capitalized oil
and gas companies and other companies having financial and other resources
greater than those of the Registrant. The Registrant's ability to locate and
produce oil and gas reserves is essential to the ultimate realization of income
and value from the Registrant's properties and, therefore, may be considered to
be a raw material essential to the Registrant's business. The availability of
drilling rigs, fuel, tubular goods and other drilling and production equipment
is also essential to the Registrant's business. The Registrant relies on the
acquisition of leases and other oil and gas interests on which to explore for,
develop and/or produce oil and gas. The availability of such property is
essential to the Registrant's continuing business.
Crude oil and condensate produced from the properties in which the
Registrant owns an interest are sold to oil companies and pipeline companies at
prices posted by the principal purchasers in the Registrant's producing area.
As of March 31, 1996 the principal purchasers (percentage purchased) of the
Registrant's crude oil production were Navajo Crude Oil Marketing Company (66%)
and Sun Refining and Marketing Company (22%).
Natural gas obtained from the properties in which the Registrant has an
interest is sold pursuant to contracts negotiated between operators of producing
wells and purchasers of natural gas (subject to the Natural Gas Policy Act). As
of March 31, 1996 the principal purchasers (percentage purchased) of the
Registrant's natural gas production were approximately: Aquila Southwest
Pipeline Corporation (23%), Midland Marketing Corporation (19%), Energy
Development Corporation ("EDC") (16%), Texaco Inc. (13%), and GPM Gas
Corporation (11%). The Registrant does not believe that the loss of any of
these purchasers would have a material impact on Registrant's business because
of the demand for oil, gas and casinghead gas production. Oil and gas
production is transported by trucks and pipelines, respectively. The Registrant
does not own any bulk storage facilities or pipelines.
As of March 31, 1996, the Registrant had two employees, who currently work
part time in and out of the office. The Registrant believes that relations with
these employees are generally satisfactory. The Registrant's employees are not
covered by collective bargaining arrangements.
The Registrant, by nature of its oil and gas operations, is subject to
compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of
materials into the environment or
4
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. At the present time,
however, such compliance does not require any substantial capital expenditures,
does not materially affect the Registrant's earnings and in the Registrant's
opinion will not materially affect future operations.
The Registrant is not engaged in operations in foreign countries, and no
portion of sales or revenues is derived from customers in foreign countries.

Oil and Gas Reserves
- - --------------------
See Note G of the Notes to Financial Statements herein for information
regarding the estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves owned by the
Registrant. The oil and gas reserves have been estimated in accordance with
regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following table indicates estimates by the Registrant's Independent
Petroleum Engineers, T. Scott Hickman & Associates, Inc., of Midland, Texas, of
the availability to the Registrant of proved oil and gas reserves, all of which
are located in the United States, for the year 1996. The estimates for the
years 1994 and 1995 were prepared by the Registrant's consulting engineer, R.F.
Bailey of Midland, Texas. For 1996, T. Scott Hickman & Associates, Inc. has
estimated 424,737 barrels of oil and 1,920,107 MCF of gas for a combined
$4,627,526 of future net revenue discounted at ten percent (10%) per annum.
Reserve estimate calculations as of March 31, 1996, include decontrol of oil
prices, and repeal of the Windfall Profits Excise Tax but do not include
decontrol or escalation of gas prices, except as provided in existing gas
contracts. Since no provisions were made for changes in product prices and
costs, the Registrant does not believe that these estimates of reserves and
future net revenues fully reflect possible future revenue values. Estimates of
oil and gas reserves are projections based on engineering information and data.
There are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data, and there
can be no assurance that the reserves set forth below will be ultimately
realized.

March 31, 1994 79,855 671,303 $1,073,325
No major discovery or other favorable or adverse event has caused a
material change in the estimated proved reserves since March 31, 1996 except for
the increase in the Registrant's proved oil and gas reserves as of March 31,
1996 due primarily to purchases and development of producing properties and
except for normal production declines, price and related adjustments.
The Registrant has not filed any oil or gas reserve estimates or included
any such estimates in reports to any other federal or foreign governmental
authority or agency within the past twelve (12) months.
The Registrant has no foreign operations and has no agreements with foreign
governments.
As of March 31, 1996, one (1) well was to be drilled by the Registrant.
There were no other operations of material importance to Registrant such as
waterfloods and pressure maintenance projects being installed by the Registrant.
Title to Oil and Gas Properties
- - -------------------------------
Registrant currently has no properties mortgaged to secure indebtedness.
The Registrant's properties are generally subject to the customary royalty and
overriding royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements, liens for
current taxes and other burdens and minor encumbrances, easements and
restrictions. The Registrant believes that none of such burdens materially
detract from the value of such properties or materially interferes with their
use in the operation of the Registrant's business.
As is common industry practice, little or no investigation of title is made
at the time of acquisition of undeveloped properties, other than preliminary
review of local mineral records. Title investigations, in most cases including
obtaining a title opinion of local counsel, are made before commencement of
drilling operations. The Registrant believes that its methods of investigating
title to its properties are consistent with practices customary in the oil and
gas industry in connection with the
8
acquisition of such properties, and that such practices are adequately designed
to enable it to acquire good title to such properties.
Undeveloped Acreage
- - -------------------
The Registrant currently does not own any material inventory of non-
productive acreage in partially developed prospects except those located in the
Viejos Devonian Field of Pecos County, Texas and the Lazy JL Spraberry Field of
Garza County, Texas. The Registrant owns from 6.00% working interest to 9.51%
working interest (net revenue interest 4.5% to 7.13%) in the Viejos Field of
Pecos County, Texas, consisting of 2,574 gross acres and ten (10) wells.
The Registrant owns a 35% working interest (net revenue interest 26.25%) in
ten (10) wells in the Lazy JL (Lower Spraberry) Field of Garza County, Texas,
consisting of 1,284 acres in which the Registrant owns from a 25% to 35% working
interest at March 31, 1996. The Registrant is unable to determine the extent of
future development, if any, in these two (2) fields.

Item No. 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
-------------------------------------------------
Condition and Results of Operations
-----------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Commitments
- - -----------------------------------------------
As indicated by the Statements of Cash Flows for the past three fiscal
years, the Registrant generally has generated cash from operating activities
which has been used primarily for purposes of acquiring producing and non-
producing oil and gas properties.
On July 28, 1995, the Registrant completed a private placement with
accredited investors of 250,000 shares of its unregistered, restricted common
stock, par value $0.50 per share, for total proceeds of $500,000 or $2.00 per
share to the Registrant. The proceeds are being used in developing the
Registrant's existing oil and gas properties and for the purchase of additional
oil and gas properties. Such shares were issued to six (6) shareholders,
representing 17.57% of the total issued and outstanding shares after said sale.
Registrant also has a letter of credit with NationsBank of Texas, N.A.,
Midland, Texas, which provides for unsecured borrowings up to $50,000 in lieu of
a plugging bond with the Railroad Commission for properties currently shut-in.
In the past years, the oil and gas industry has suffered because of price
decreases for oil. An oversupply of petroleum in both the domestic and
international markets appeared to be the reason for the price decline. The
Registrant is unable to predict price changes or the possible effects on the
Registrant at this time. Past changes in tax laws and the decline in oil prices
have had the effect industry-wide of limiting funds available for oil and gas
exploration.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Registrant's oil
production increased 7,214 barrels (33%) from 1995 and gas production increased
46,409 MCF (33%) as a result of additional producing oil and gas properties.
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
Business Segment
----------------
The Registrant only has a single line of business which is oil and gas
acquisition, exploration and production.
12
Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995
-----------------------------------
Registrant participated in the drilling of nine (9) gross (.815 net) wells,
of which seven (7) were productive oil wells in fiscal 1996.
An increase in working capital of $20,300 for fiscal 1996, compared to a
decrease of $466,825 for fiscal 1995 was a result of increased receipts of oil
and gas sales and proceeds of a private placement of the Registrant's common
stock.
Gross revenue from oil and gas production increased in 1996 compared to
1995 by $255,322 (47%) and the Registrant reflected net earnings of $200,606.
Revenues increased due to the increase in oil and gas production from
acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. This increase was
affected by increase in revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas during
the current period. The average 1996 price for crude oil is $17.45 per barrel
compared to the 1995 price of $16.40. Average prices paid per MCF of gas for
1996 and 1995 were $1.57 and $1.32, respectively.
Administrative services income and reimbursement to the Registrant
decreased $2,743 (27%) due to the plugging and abandonment of certain wells
during the current year.
Production costs increased $65,263 (31%) from 1995 primarily from the
addition of new wells drilled in 1996.
Other income in 1996 consisted primarily of $17,285 of interest income from
investment in a liquid asset money market fund and $6,979 of gas gathering fees
from the Viejos field.
Overall, costs and expenses increased in 1996 by $162,672 (36%). Normal
depreciation, depletion and amortization increased in 1996 as compared to 1995
by $91,669 (54%) due to increased acquisition, development and production of
properties. General and administrative expenses increased $5,740 (7%).
Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994
-----------------------------------
Registrant participated in the drilling of six (6) gross (1.125 net) wells,
of which all six (6) were productive oil wells in fiscal 1995.
A decrease in working capital of $466,825 for fiscal 1995, compared to an
increase of $711,649 for fiscal 1994 was a result of increased acquisition,
drilling and development costs and non-recurring receipt of proceeds aggregating
$1,160,933 in 1994 from litigation regarding natural gas sales.
13
Gross revenue from oil and gas production increased in 1995 compared to
1994 by $168,945 (45%) and the Registrant incurred a profit of $104,843.
Revenues increased due to the increase in oil and gas production from additions
of oil and gas properties as compared to the prior year. This increase was
affected by increase in revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas during
the current period. The average 1995 price for crude oil was $16.40 per barrel
compared to the 1994 price of $14.87. Average prices paid per MCF for 1995 and
1994 were $1.32 and $1.66, respectively.
Administrative services income and reimbursement to the Registrant
decreased $16,430 (62%) due to non-recurrence of drilling overhead charges
during the current year.
Production costs increased $13,682 (7%) from 1994 primarily from the
addition of new wells drilled in 1995.
Other income in 1995 consisted primarily of $15,334 of interest income from
investment in a liquid asset money market fund.
Overall, costs and expenses decreased in 1995 by $32,162 (6.55%). Normal
depreciation, depletion and amortization increased in 1995 as compared to 1994
by $18,394 (12%) due to increased development and acquisition of properties. In
1994 an impairment of $65,794 was recorded due to the Company's full cost pool
exceeding the full cost ceiling. General and administrative expense increased
$3,112 (4%).

Board of Directors
Mexco Energy Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mexco Energy Corporation, as
of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Mexco Energy Corporation, as of
March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

MEXCO ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The major operations of Mexco Energy Corporation (the Company) consist of
exploration, production, and sale of crude oil and natural gas in the United
States with an area of concentration in Texas.
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
1. Oil and Gas Properties
----------------------
The full cost method of accounting is used to account for oil and gas
properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs incident to the
acquisition, exploration, and development of properties (both developed and
undeveloped), including costs of abandoned leaseholds, lease rentals,
unproductive wells, and well drilling and equipment costs, are capitalized.
Costs are amortized using the units-of-production method. The units-of-
production method is based primarily on estimates of reserve quantities. Due
to uncertainties inherent in this estimation process, it is at least reasonably
possible that reserve quantities will be revised significantly in the near
term. If the Company's unamortized costs exceed the cost center ceiling
(defined as the sum of the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated
unescalated future net revenues from proved reserves, less related income tax
effects), the excess is charged to expense in the year in which the excess
occurs. Generally, no gains or losses are recognized on the sale or
disposition of oil and gas properties.
2. Depreciation
------------
Depreciation of office furniture, fixtures, and equipment is provided on the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years.
3. Production Costs and Administrative Service Arrangements
--------------------------------------------------------
Production costs include lease operating expenses and production taxes.
Reimbursements related to administrative service arrangements are recorded as
revenues.
4. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each year.
5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less and money market funds to be cash equivalents.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value
because of the short maturity and highly liquid nature of those instruments.

March 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- CONTINUED
5. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Continued
-------------------------------------
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and money market funds,
some of which are not federally insured. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant
credit risk.
6. Use of Estimates
----------------
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management makes estimates based on management's
knowledge and experience. Due to their prospective nature, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NOTE B - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Income tax
expense for years ended March 31 is as follows:
1996 1995 1994

As of March 31, 1996, the Company has statutory depletion carryforwards of
approximately $325,000 which do not expire.
NOTE C - SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company operates exclusively within the United States in the onshore
exploration and production of oil and gas. In the normal course of business,
the Company extends credit to customers in the oil and gas industry and
therefore has significant credit risk in this sector of the economy.
Historically, the Company has not had significant bad debts and, as such, no
allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided in the accompanying financial
statements.
Customers which accounted for 10% or more of revenues are as follows:
Year ended March 31,

---------- ----------
$2,330,939 $1,648,060
========== ==========
NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company serves as operator of properties in which the majority stockholder
has interests and, in that capacity, bills the majority stockholder for lease
operating expenses on a monthly basis subject to usual trade terms. The
billings totaled approximately $106,198, $152,597, and $270,573 for the years
ended March 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Accounts receivable
include $12,297 and $7,888 due from the majority stockholder at March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
NOTE F - LITIGATION
The Company is one of several plaintiffs in a lawsuit for damages in
connection with a gas contract. This suit is set for trial in the latter part
of July, 1996. Counsel for the Company at this time is unable to determine the
outcome of such litigation, which, if successful, could result in significant
income to the Company.
The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit concerning an oil and gas lease in
which the Company is an interest owner. The suit involved alleged
environmental damage resulting from an oil spill and was defended by the
operator of the property. During 1995, a settlement was reached resulting in
no liability to the Company.
In the year ended March 31, 1994, the Company received approximately $1,160,000
in the settlement of a lawsuit. The lawsuit involved failure to timely pay
royalty owners the proper royalties for the production and sale of gas from
certain gas units.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
March 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994
NOTE F - LITIGATION - CONTINUED
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims which have
arisen in the ordinary course of its business which management believes will
not result in any material liability.
NOTE G - OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA (UNAUDITED)
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69 (SFAS 69)
and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, the
following information is presented with regard to the Company's proved oil and
gas reserves, all of which are located in the United States. Information for
oil is presented in barrels (Bbls) and for gas in thousand cubic feet (Mcf).
The SEC has adopted SFAS 69 accounting guidelines for oil and gas producers.
These rules require the Company to include as a supplement to the basic
financial statements a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
relating to proved oil and gas reserves.
The standardized measure, in management's opinion, should be examined with
caution. The basis for these disclosures is an independent petroleum
engineer's reserve study which contains imprecise estimates of quantities and
rates of production of reserves. Revision of prior year estimates can have a
significant impact on the results. Also, exploration costs in one year may
lead to significant discoveries in later years and may significantly change
previous estimates of proved reserves and their valuation. Values of unproved
properties and anticipated future price and cost increases or decreases are not
considered. Therefore, the standardized measure is not necessarily a "best
estimate" of the fair value of the Company's oil and gas properties or of
future net cash flows.
The following summaries of changes in reserves and standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows were prepared from estimates of proved
reserves developed by independent petroleum engineers. The Company's future
income tax expense in its standardized measure of discounted future net cash
flows has been reduced because of significant statutory depletion
carryforwards.
