NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
-----------------------
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the
three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes and
certain financial presentations normally required under generally accepted
accounting principles; and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial statements to
conform to the presentation used in 2001.
NOTE 2 - PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS
------------------------
Per share computations are based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year. Common stock equivalents are not included
in the computations since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- --------------------
As discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Company had sold substantially all of its oil and gas
properties in 1998 to an unrelated party. The Company did retain an interest in
two small oil properties and has subsequently completed an acquisition of a 25%
interest in a Wyoming gas field. In addition, Petrominerals disposed of its
wholly owned subsidiary Hydro-Test International, Inc. (Hydro-Test) a New Mexico
Corporation acquired in 1993, through a voluntary petition for Chapter 7
bankruptcy on December 20, 2000. As a result of the higher commodity prices,
net cash flow increased from a negative cash flow of approximately $(46) for the
first three months of 2000 to a negative cash flow of approximately $(29) for
the same period in 2001. The current low level of cash flow is mainly resulting
from normal general and administrative costs while the Company continues to
review acquisition and merger opportunities.
Three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared with the three months ended March
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 2000
- ---------
Oil prices in the first quarter of 2001 slightly decreased from those received
in the first quarter of 2000, the Company has recorded total revenues of
$155,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus $116,000 for the same
period in 2000. Net realized oil prices decreased from $25.40 per barrel for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $23.79 for the same period in 2001.
Operating expenses were $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001
versus $84,000 for the same period in 2000. General and administrative expenses
increased to $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus $120,000
for the same period in 2000. As a result, a net loss increased from $93,000 for
the first three months of 2000 to $106,000 for the same period in 2001.
BUSINESS REVIEW
Oil and Gas Segment
- ----------------------
As discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2000, the Company had sold substantially all of its oil and gas
properties in 1998 to an unrelated party. In 1999, the Company initiated a
process to use the proceeds to either purchase additional oil and gas producing
assets or merge with another company. As a result of this process the Company
completed the acquisition of a 25% interest in the Smith Ranch natural gas field
located in southwest Wyoming for approximately $102,000 in cash in September
1999. In addition to reviewing merger alternatives, management is currently
focusing its efforts on utilizing its cash balance for the acquisition of
additional oil and gas producing properties.
Wyoming Venture
- ----------------
On September 20, 2000 the Company completed the acquisition of a 25% interest in
the Smith Ranch natural gas field located in southwest Wyoming. Current
production from the two active gas wells is 300 thousand cubic feet per day (65
mcfd net). The Company participated in the drilling of a gas well in the 3rd
quarter of 2000 and that well was completed in a Lewis Sandstone interval. Due
to completion problems, that well is currently in the process of being
recompleted to an Upper Fort Union or Wasatch sand interval. The Company has
plans to drill one additional well in the 3rd quarter of this year. That well
will target the Lewis Sandstone but will also collect gas content information on
the Fort Union coal. This information will allow the Company to complete its
reservoir analysis on the coalbed methane potential for its acreage.
5
Santa Clarita Area
- --------------------
As a result of the 1998 sale, the Company retained a 53% working interest in the
Castaic Hills Unit, a 100% working interest in a nearby oil well and an 83.3%
working interest in 2 producing oil wells in the nearby Hasley Canyon field.
Current net production from the 11 active wells on these leases is approximately
40 barrels per day (bopd). With oil prices at historically high levels, the
operator has initiated a program of returning wells to production and
enhancement of the water disposal activities.
In addition to the retained working interest, the Company reserved a production
payment which was reserved for, and due to uncertainty over realization, and
currently has $0 carrying value. Under the purchase and sale agreement, this
payment is paid in installments in any month which certain posted prices for oil
produced exceeds $13.50 per barrel. The monthly payment is equal to one-half of
the difference between the weighted average posted price and $13.50, multiplied
by the number of barrels produced. Posted prices for the first quarter averaged
$20.17 per barrel. Revenue from this note was approximately $46,878 and is
reflected in the statements of cash flows as a reduction of notes receivable.
Hillcrest Beverly Oil Corporation Acquisition
- -------------------------------------------------
On March 10, 2000, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to purchase
100% of the outstanding stock of Hillcrest Beverly Oil Corporation (HBOC) from a
private Nevada corporation. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the
Company notified the seller that it would not continue its pursuit of this
acquisition because the seller was unable to fulfill certain obligations and
representations. (See Legal Proceedings, Item 1).
