Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Transamerican
Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete financial statement
presentation. In the opinion of management, such unaudited interim information
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present the Company's financial position and results of operations
for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The
consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 1997 was derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1997.
Note 2 - Termination of operations in Comoros
On September 15, 1994, the Company ceased operations in the Comoros and entered
a period of no operating activities.
Note 3 - Earnings or loss per share
Earnings or loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. The number of shares used in computing the loss per
common share at October 31, 1997 and 1996 was 11,846,985.
Item No. 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's consolidated financial
position and consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction
with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto included in Item 1.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements. Additional written or oral
forward looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time in
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. Such forward
looking statements are within the meaning of the term in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements may include, but not be limited to,
projections of revenues, income, or loss, estimates of capital expenditures,
plans for future operations, products or services, and financing needs or plans,
as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward
looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties,
some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual
results could differ materially from that set forth in, contemplated by, or
underlying the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events, or otherwise. The following disclosures, as
well as other statements in this Report on Form 10-Q, and in the notes to the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, describe factors, among
others, that could contribute to or cause such differences, or that could affect
the Company's stock price.
Overview
Since 1995, the Company was inactive but structured to take advantage of
business opportunities which management believed would be in the best interest
of the Company's shareholders.
Results Of Operations
In the period May 1, 1994 through October 31, 1997, the Company had no active
business and therefore no meaningful trends or analysis may be projected.
7
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred substantial losses and has a deficiency in
stockholders' equity as of October 31, 1997 and, in 1995, terminated its sole
business operations in Comoros. Since the Company has no current source of
liquidity, the Company is unable to predict how long it may be able to survive
without a significant infusion of capital from outside sources and it is further
unable to predict whether such capital infusion, if available, will be on terms
and conditions favorable to the Company.
In order to generate future operating activities, the Company intends to
implement its plan to expand its business and search for, investigate and
attempt to secure and develop business opportunities through acquisitions,
mergers or other business combinations and strategic alliances. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in its plan to expand its customer
base or locate businesses in the same or similar industry for acquisition.
Although the Company engages in these discussions from time to time, it is not
at present party to any agreement or contract.
Year 2000
The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as a result of the calendar year 2000. The Year 2000
issue relates to whether computer systems will properly recognize and process
information relating to dates in and after the year 2000. These systems could
fail or produce erroneous results if they cannot adequately process dates beyond
the year 1999 and are not corrected. The Company does not believe that any
additional cost for the Year 2000 issue will be necessary. The Company also
believes the effect of the Year 2000 issue on entities with which the Company
transacts business will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
