NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2000
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim
financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the Company's financial position at June 30, 2000 and March
31, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. All such adjustments are of normal recurring
nature. Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the
Company's annual financial statements. Results of operations for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2001.
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Registration statement on Form 10
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2000.
2. STOCK OPTION PLAN
On May 3, 1999, the Board of Directors approved the 1999 Comprehensive
Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"). Under the 1999 Plan, the Company is
authorized to grant stock options, the exercise of which would allow up to an
aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be acquired by
the holders of said awards. The awards can take the form of Incentive Stock
Options ("ISOs") or Nonstatutory Stock Options ("NSOs"). ISOs and NSOs are to be
granted in terms not to exceed ten years. The exercise price of the ISOs and
NSOs will be no less than the market price of the Company's common stock on the
date of grant. Adoption of the 1999 Plan is pending shareholder approval.
3. CREDIT LINE AGREEMENT
In June 2000, the Company obtained a $1,000,000 line of credit from
Fleet Bank. Borrowings under the credit line bear interest at prime. Interest is
payable monthly. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit are subject to
repayment on demand and are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, furniture
and fixtures, machinery and equipment and a pledge of 750,000 shares of the
Company's common stock held in escrow. The line is also secured by the personal
guarantee of a shareholder of the Company.
The line of credit is subject to certain covenants, including financial
covenants to which the Company must adhere on a quarterly or annual basis.
Borrowings under the line of credit must be reduced to zero for a period of 30
consecutive days in any twelve-month period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
United Energy considers its primary focus to be the development,
manufacture and sale of environmentally safe specialty chemical products. The
Company considers its leading product in terms of future earnings potential to
be its KH-30(R) oil and gas well cleaning product.
KH-30(R) is an environmentally-safe, non-petroleum based product that
is non-toxic and will biodegrade. KH-30(R) has a period of operational
effectiveness in an oil or gas well that exceeds the effectiveness period of
other products currently in use, usually lasting between 60-90 days before
retreatment is required. Moreover, the use of KH-30(R) in the well has
additional beneficial effects "downstream" resulting in cleaner flow lines and
holding tanks. KH-30(R) has also been tested to be refinery compatible in that
it contains no materials that are harmful to the refining process. This product
has yet to achieve any significant market penetration.
One of United Energy's specialty chemical products is a photo-sensitive
coating that is applied to paper to produce what is known in the printing
industry as proofing paper or "blue line" paper. The Company developed this
formulation over several years of testing. The Company's patent attorneys have
informed the Company that the formulation is technically within the public
domain as being within the scope of an expired duPont patent. However, the exact
formulation utilized by the Company has not been able to be duplicated by others
and is protected by the Company as a trade secret. The product is marketed under
the trade name UNIPROOF(R).
The Company introduced its UNIPROOF(R) proofing paper in June of 1999.
By March of 2000, sales of the product had increased to more than $200,000 per
month and amounted to a total of $1,724,695 during the fiscal year ended March
31, 2000. UNIPROOF(R) sales totaled $666,095 for the quarter ended June 30,
2000.
10
11
The Company's business plan is to use UNIPROOF(R) proofing paper sales
to provide the cash flow to support world wide marketing efforts for its
KH-30(R) oil well cleaner and, to a lesser extent the other specialty chemical
products developed by the Company which are described in its Form 10 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2000.
In order to provide working capital to build UNIPROOF(R) sales, in June
2000 the Company entered into a $1,000,000 Line of Credit Agreement with Fleet
Bank, N.A., the material terms of which are described below under "Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUES Revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2001 were
$836,332, a $333,716, or 66% increase over revenues of $502,616 in the first
three months of fiscal 2000. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an
increase in UNIPROOF(R) sales.
COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold increased to $546,330 or 65% of
sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $280,261 or 56% of sales, for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The numerical increase was primarily due to
higher production of UNIPROOF(R) proofing paper.
GROSS PROFIT Gross profit for June 30 quarter of fiscal year 2001 was
$290,002, a $67,647 or 30% increase from $222,355 in the corresponding period
of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to increased
UNIPROOF(R) sales.
OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses increased to $303,344, or 36% of revenues for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 from
11
12
$189,721, or 38% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The numerical
increase included a $54,840 addition to the allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET OF INTEREST INCOME. The Company had interest
expense of $934 for the June 30 quarter of 2000 compared with net interest
income of $1,343 in the corresponding 1999 period.
NET LOSS. The quarter ended June 30, 2000, resulted in a net loss of
$18,661, as compared to net income of $29,424 or 6% of revenues for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The loss in the 2000 period is primarily the result of the
higher allowance for doubtful accounts and increased professional fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company has financed
its operations through equity contributions from principals and from third
parties supplemented by funds generated from its business. As of March 31, 2000,
we had $46,008 in cash, accounts receivable of $445,949 and inventories of
$592,285. As of June 30, 2000 we had $68,204 in cash, accounts receivable of
$273,774 and inventory of $802,172.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash generated from
financing activities decreased to $158,262 for the period ended June 30, 2000
from $258,362 for the period ended June 30, 1999, a net decrease of $100,100.
The higher amount in 1999 had been needed to cover increased accounts receivable
and increased inventory in that period over the immediately preceding period.
Inventories at March 31, 2000 were $592,285, and increased to $802,172
at June 30, 2000, an increase of $209,887. Most of the increase was due to raw
materials acquired during the quarter to support higher future production
levels.
Capital expenditures were negligible during the three months ended June
30, 2000 and during the corresponding period of 1999. United Energy has no
material
12
13
commitments for future capital expenditures. However, our need for working
capital will continue to grow if we continue to achieve higher levels of sales.
As a result, in June 2000, the Company closed on an agreement for a
$1.0 million revolving credit facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. The credit line,
which is collaterialized by substantially all of the assets of the Company,
accrues interest at a rate equal to the prime rate. As of June 30, 2000,
$160,000 was outstanding under the credit line. The credit line is further
secured by a pledge of 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock held in
treasury and by the guarantee of a shareholder of the Company. See also, Part
II, Item 5. Other Information for more complete information.
United Energy believes that its existing cash and credit facility will
be sufficient to enable it to meet its foreseeable future capital needs.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
United Energy does not expect its operating results, cash flows, or
credit available to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in
market interest rates. Furthermore, the Company does not engage in any
transactions involving financial instruments or in hedging transactions with
respect to its operations.

forth the Company's rights and obligations with respect to the credit line are
filed as exhibits to this registration statement and readers are referred to
them for more complete information.
To date, the Company has borrowed $160,000 under the credit line for
working capital to fill orders for its UNIPROOF(R) proofing paper. The Company
does not expect to borrow more than an additional $40,000 under the credit line
