The Registrant estimated revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2002
is zero. The Registrant is a non-operating holder of working interests in
certain oil and gas properties. For the corresponding quarter in 2001, the
Registrant's revenues were $17,000, consisting entirely of its share in net
revenues from these oil and gas working interests. Due to the acquisition of the
principal operator of these properties by another company, timely reporting to
the Registrant of its share in net revenues from its working interests has been
delayed, preventing a reasonable basis for accruing these revenues.
The Registrant's estimated operating expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 are approximately $2,265,000, which represents a $249,000
decrease from operating expenses for the corresponding quarter in 2001. This
change is largely due to the fact that the Registrant has significantly reduced
its mineral exploration efforts, thus, reducing its mineral exploration
expenses.
The Registrant's estimated net loss for the quarter ended September 30,
2002 is approximately $2,583,000 which represents a $17,000 decrease from the
net loss for the corresponding quarter in 2001. This change is due primarily to
the reduction in operating expenses, as described above.
