Note 1
- ------
An involuntary petition of bankruptcy was filed against Venus Exploration,
Inc on October 9, 2002 and Venus' response to such petition was filed October
31, 2002. Venus subsequently filed a "Notice of Consent to Entry of Order of
Relief" on February 26, 2003. On February 27, 2003 the Court entered an order
for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The March report covers the
period of February 28, 2003 through March 31, 2003.
Note 2
- ------
Venus maintains it books and accounting records on the accrual method of
accounting, and accordingly recognizes income in the month oil and gas is
produced. The income is not reported to Venus and payment is not received for
two months after production. As of the date of this report, the production for
April was not known. We, therefore, accrued an estimated amount of income based
on historical production. Also, all expense amounts for well operations were not
available at the time of this report and certain estimates were made.
