We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Pre-Cell Solutions, Inc. (a

the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 the Company as of November 30,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period May

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period May 27, 1997 (Date of Inception)
Through November 30, 1998
NOTE 1 BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business - Pre-Cell Solutions, Inc. d/b/a DPS Solutions, Inc. ("the
Company"), was incorporated in Florida on May 27, 1997; however,
operations did not commence until early in 1998. The Company operates
as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC), utilizing Bell South
interconnection services. Such local telephone service is provided
throughout Florida.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Cash - Cash consists of bank deposits, which at times may exceed
federally insured limits.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109). SFAS
109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and
adjustments to deferred tax balances for changes in tax law and rates.
In addition, future tax benefits such as net operating loss
carryforwards are recognized to the extent recognition of such benefits
is more likely than not.
NOTE 2 INCOME TAXES
At November 30, 1998, the Company had a gross deferred tax asset
resulting from a net operating loss carryforward. The net deferred tax
asset of approximately $121,000 is completely offset by a valuation
allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization.
NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with a stockholder
and an officer. Such agreements call for payments totaling $180,000 and
$95,000, respectively, to each individual, per year, through June 30,
1999. Total fees charged to operations for the period from date of
inception to November 30, 1998 amounted to $280,000 and is also
included in current liabilities at November 30, 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period May 27, 1997 (Date of Inception)
Through November 30, 1998
NOTE 4 COMMITMENTS
At November 30, 1998, the Company was contingently liable for a $12,000
irrevocable letter of credit in favor of Bell South. Such letter of
credit expired in June, 1999 and was collateralized by a certificate of
deposit.
NOTE 5 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On December 1, 1998, the Company was acquired by Pre-Cell Solutions,
Inc., a Colorado corporation f/k/a Transamerican Petroleum Corporation,
an over-the-counter (OTC) bulletin board company.
NOTE 6 YEAR 2000 (Unaudited)
Management has assessed the Company's exposure to date sensitive
computer hardware and software programs that may not be operative
subsequent to 1999 and has implemented a requisite course of action to
minimize Year 2000 risk and ensure that neither significant costs nor
disruption of normal business operations are encountered. However,
because there is no guarantee that all systems of outside vendors or
other entities affecting the Company's operations will be 2000
compliant, the Company remains susceptible to consequences of the Year
2000 Issue.
