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.


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 approximately two months after production. We therefore accrue an
     estimated amount of income based on historical production. Also, all
     expense amounts for well operations are not available at the time this
     report is due, and certain estimates are made for these expenses as well.

     The difference between the year to date accrual for the MOR and the year to
     date actual is an adjustment to retained earnings.

Note 3
- ------

     In accordance with an Order Granting Venus Exploration Inc.'s Motion to
     Obtain Unsecured Credit Allowable as an Administration Expense Pursuant to
     11 USC 364(b), Venus obtained a loan of $125,000 to purchase Directors' and
     Officers' insurance for the period May 21, 2003 until May 21, 2004. When
     the policy expired May 21, 2004 an expense for the cost of the policy was
     recognized. The Note Payable is shown on Line 19 of the Balance Sheet, and
     accrued interest payable is included on Line 22. Accrued interest expense
     is included on Line 18 of the Income Statement.

     Payment of principal and interest on the note is subject to subordination
     in accordance with the above referenced Order.


Note 4
- ------

     On February 9, 2004, the Company signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement to
     sell substantially all of its assets. On February 27, 2004, the Court
     ordered that the Company is authorized to seek approval of the sale as
     contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Court also ordered
     that Venus was authorized to receive alternative bids. On March 24, 2004,
     an auction was held, and a winning bid was accepted. The closing of the
     sale was May 7, 2004, and the Company received $3,229,400 in cash and a net
     profits interest in certain assets that were sold.
