OAKRIDGE ENERGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) The accompanying unaudited financial statements for three and
nine-month periods ended November 30, 1997 and 1998 reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and
recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
such periods.
(2) The foregoing financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the annual financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal
year ended February 28, 1998.
(3) In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income and SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 130
established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in financial statements. SFAS No. 131 established
annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's operating
segments and related disclosures about its products, services,
geographic areas and major customers. Adoption of these statements will
not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows, and any effect will be limited to the form and content of
its disclosures. Both statements are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997.
(4) The "Year 2000" issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digit rather than four to define the applicable year. The
Company has been responsible in the stewardship of its computer system
through the replacement of its computers, updating of its software and
network systems; however, the Company reports to and communicates with
other computer systems in the private industry and government reporting
agencies. Interdependence between systems and dependence on civilian
power systems could possibly result in the failure of one system
disrupting the other. The complexity of the Y2K task at hand for
civilian and government systems may have an impact on the Company's
business operations although the Company has been responsible in the
stewardship of its computer system. We believe that our replacements
systems are "Year 2000" compliant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Items 6 and
7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
February 28, 1998 and the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements contained in
this report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had a net loss of $214,791 ($.05 per share) in the three
months ended November 30, 1998 compared to net income of $265,627 ($.05 per
share) during the three months ended November 30, 1997. During the nine-month
period ended November 30, 1998, the Company had net income of $599,075 ($.13 per
share) compared to net income of $716,609 ($.14 per share) in the 1997
nine-month period. Although the Company again incurred a loss from operations in
both 1998 periods, gains realized by the Company on the sale of oil and gas
properties, principally its Limestone County, Texas gas property (the "Limestone
County property"), resulted in the Company's being profitable in the nine-month
period.
Oil and gas revenues declined approximately $803,700 (72.1%) and
$1,949,700 (64.7%) in the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998,
respectively. Revenues in both periods continued to be adversely affected by the
absence of any production from the Limestone County property, declines in
production from the Company's Madison County, Texas oil property (the "Madison
County property") and low oil prices. The Limestone County property contributed
approximately $190,800 and $534,100 to revenues during the three and nine months
ended November 30, 1997, respectively, but none in the 1998 periods. Revenues
from the Madison County property decreased approximately $591,700 and $1,340,300
in the three and nine-month 1998 periods, respectively, as the Company produced
approximately 19,300 and 41,300 fewer barrels of oil from the property during
such periods. The decline in production was primarily due to the decision of the
operator of the property to restrict production voluntarily as a result of low
oil prices.
The Company's average oil price received declined in excess of $6.55
per barrel (over 34%) in both 1998 periods. Although the Company's average oil
price received during the three months ended November 30, 1998 increased over
$1.00 per barrel as compared to that received during the preceding fiscal
quarter, it remains uncertain when any significant improvement will occur in
such price. The Company's average gas price received fell significantly
(approximately $1.06 per MCF) in the three months ended November 30, 1998 but
only slightly ($.19 per MCF) in the nine-month 1998 period. During the 1997
three-month period, the
5
8
Company's average gas price was aided during two months of such period by the
receipt of in excess of $3.50 per MCF for the gas produced from the Madison
County property, but no such high-priced gas was sold in the 1998 period.
In an effort to replace a portion of the gas revenues lost from the
sale of the Limestone County property, during the three months ended November
30, 1998 the Company acquired an undivided 25% interest in a 1,245 acre
exploratory gas prospect in Panola County of East Texas operated by Barrow
Shaver Resources Co., the operator of the Company's Madison County property, and
participated in the drilling of an initial well on the prospect. The well was
recently completed and, although production from the well has not yet
stabilized, it is currently producing approximately 700 MCF of gas per day.
Production from the well should benefit revenues during the last fiscal quarter.
Gravel revenues increased approximately $11,100 (57.7%) and $23,500
(49.1%) in the three and nine months ended November 30, 1998, respectively, due
to the higher level of gravel sales from the Company's Colorado property
resulting from construction activity in the Durango area. Rentals received by
the Company from the property were the same in the 1997 and 1998 periods.
The expenses of the Company's oil and gas operations declined
approximately $265,300 (39.8%) and $594,100 (34.8%) in the three and nine months
ended November 30, 1998 as most categories of such expenses were lower in both
periods. Depletion and depreciation expense decreased approximately $131,700 and
$324,900, production and ad valorem taxes fell a combined approximately $80,900
and $100,100 and lease operating expense declined $37,400 and $33,700 in the
respective 1998 periods primarily due to the absence of any such expenses and
taxes from the Limestone County property sold effective as of the start of the
nine-month period and the effect of lower oil and gas expenses from the
remainder of the Company's properties, principally its Madison County property.
Geological and geophysical expenses declined approximately $38,800 and $19,800
in the three and nine-month 1998 periods due to the Company's lower level of
exploratory activities. Dry hole costs and abandoned leasehold expense increased
approximately $15,600 in the three months ended November 30, 1998 due to
unsuccessful drilling activity in North Texas, but such expenses declined
approximately $123,400 in the nine-month 1998 period. Lease impairment charges
increased slightly in both 1998 periods due to the Company's decision to
transfer the costs associated with its Utley well in Freestone County, Texas to
such category.
The expenses of the Company's coal and gravel operations declined
approximately $13,000 (36.6%) and $15,400 (16.8%) in the three and nine months
ended November 30, 1998,
6
9
respectively, due to declines in most categories of such expenses. The only
expense showing an increase during the 1998 periods was depletion and
depreciation expense. Real estate development expenses increased slightly in
both 1998 periods due to higher depreciation expense on the Company's heavy
equipment. The increase in such expenses in the nine-month period was largely
offset by significantly lower heavy equipment repair expense as compared to the
1997 period.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $4,700
(4.3%) and $30,200 (8.8%) in the three and nine-month 1998 periods as the
Company incurred higher payroll, regulatory reporting, general depreciation and
miscellaneous expenses in both periods. The nine-month period was also affected
by the payment of $12,200 in fees for renewing letters of credit supporting land
reclamation bonds required for the Company's coal permit in Colorado. The
Company did not incur any comparable expense in the nine-month 1997 period.
The Company received approximately $2,990,400 in proceeds from the sale
of its Limestone County property. The approximate $1,530,800 gain realized on
such sale, which is reflected in other income (expense) for the nine months
ended November 30, 1998 in the Company's Condensed Statements of Operations, was
the principal reason for the Company's profitability in the nine-month 1998
period as the Company incurred an approximate $468,300 loss from operations
during such period. Interest and dividend income increased in both 1998 periods
primarily due to interest earned on proceeds from the sale of the Limestone
County property. The Company did not incur any interest expense in either of the
1998 periods. Other income (expense), net changed from an income item to an
expense item in both 1998 periods due to writedowns aggregating approximately
$297,400 in the carrying value of the Company's investment in an equity
security. The writedowns were made as of May 31, August 31 and November 30, 1998
following further declines in the fair value of the security from February 28,
1998.
The Company's weighted average shares outstanding declined
approximately 4.1% during the nine months ended November 30, 1998 as compared to
such shares outstanding at November 30, 1997 due to continuing share purchases
made by the Company. Purchases made by the Company in the nine-month 1998 period
totaled 248,600 shares, 158,000 of which were made from affiliates. 78,000 of
such 158,000 shares were purchased from or for the account of a shareholder
owning in excess of 5% of the Company's common stock who is not a member of the
Noel Pautsky family. The remaining 90,600 shares purchased by the Company were
from unaffiliated shareholders. The Company anticipates that it will purchase a
material amount of its shares from the Estate of Noel Pautsky prior to the end
of its fiscal year on February 28, 1999.

10
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Notwithstanding the Company's loss from operations during the first
nine months of fiscal 1999, such period saw a substantial increase in the
Company's cash flows primarily as a result of the sale of the Limestone County
property. During the period, the Company's investing activities provided
approximately $2,348,400 of funds after the expenditure of approximately
$1,822,400 on additions to the Company's oil and gas properties and real estate
held for development. The Company's financing activities, which consisted
entirely of purchases of the Company's common stock, and its operating
activities used approximately $832,400 in funds, resulting in a net increase in
the Company's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period of
approximately $1,516,000. At November 30, 1998, the Company had no indebtedness
and also held investment securities aggregating $700,000.
The Company expects its contemplated operations during the remainder of
fiscal 1999 and its anticipated purchase of shares of the Company's common stock
from the Estate of Noel Pautsky to be a significant net user of cash and plans
to fund such operations and purchase from a combination of its existing cash and
cash equivalents and sales or maturities of a portion of its investment
securities available for sale or margin account borrowings against their value.
