The Registrant was incorporated on February 20, 1997 under the name Trans New
Zealand Oil Company by filing its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary
of State (Nevada).  The Registrant changed its name to AMG Oil Ltd. on July 27,
1998. The Registrant's fiscal year end is September 30.

The Registrant's operations are conducted through its NZ Subsidiary and an
exploration office in Wellington, New Zealand maintained by Indo-Pacific Energy
Ltd., the operator of the Permit.  The Registrant intends to participate in the
exploration and, where warranted, development of its property and to investigate
and to acquire interests in other oil and gas properties in the Austral-Pacific
region.

The shares of the Registrant became quoted through the facilities of the Over-
the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"), United States, on May 19, 1997 where its
shares continued to be quoted through that facility under the symbol "AMGO"
until August 1, 1999.  On August 1, 1999, the Registrant's shares discontinued
from trading on the OTCBB due to the Registrant's failure to become a "Reporting
Issuer" under the 1934 Exchange Act.  Since August 1, 1999, the Registrant's
shares continue to be quoted on the "Pink Sheets", operated by the National
Quotation Bureau, under the symbol "AMGO".

At December 15, 2000, the authorized capital of the Registrant was 100,000,000
common shares with a par value of US$0.00001 per common share of which
19,600,000 common shares were outstanding (undiluted).

(b)  Business of the Issuer

AMG Oil Ltd. ("the Registrant") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Oil (NZ)
Limited ("the NZ Subsidiary"), is a Calgary, Alberta, Canadian based oil and gas
exploration company with a participating interest in Petroleum Exploration
Permit 38256 ("PEP 38256"or the "Permit"), a hydrocarbon exploration permit
located on the South Island of New Zealand.  Petroleum Exploration Permit 38256
is now divided into two areas: (a) the North Area which contains the Arcadia
Prospect and (b) the South Area which contains the Ealing Prospect (collectively
"PEP 38256" or the "Permit") (See PART I ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY).  The
permit ownership interests of the Registrant and its joint venture partners in
these two areas is the following:

     Company                              South Area          North Area
     -------                              ----------          ----------

     AMG Oil Ltd.                               58%               50%
     Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd.                   20%               20%
     Magellan Petroleum Australia Limited       12%
     Durum Cons. Energy Corp.                                     20%
     Orion Exploration Ltd.                     10%               10%

The assessment of the potential of this property to contain petroleum reserves
involves, among other things, a consideration of discoveries made by third
parties on properties adjacent to, or, depending on circumstances, in the area
of the Registrant's properties.  Geological conditions are, however,
unpredictable.  The discovery of reserves on properties adjacent to, or in the
area of, properties of the Registrant is no assurance that commercially
recoverable reserves of oil and gas will be discovered on the Registrant's
properties.

<PAGE>
Page 6

The Registrant has received no revenue from oil & gas operations to date, is in
a start-up phase with its existing assets and has no significant assets,
tangible or intangible, other than the opportunities for its interest in PEP
38256 disclosed herein.  Following the drilling of the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1
wells, the Registrant has no significant future obligations with respect to
PEP 38256.  However, the Registrant expects to need to place additional
securities with investors in registered offerings or exempt transactions in
order to raise the capital required for its future activities until such time
as the Registrant can generate revenues from operations.  None of the
Registrant's current officers are employed directly by the Registrant and devote
less than 20% of their time to the Registrant's business.  All of the
Registrant's officers and directors devote a significant amount of their time to
other interests or competing businesses, which may be in conflict with the
operations and business of the Registrant.

There is no assurance that the Registrant will earn revenue, operate profitably
or provide a return on investment to its security holders.  The Registrant's
Activities to date have consisted primarily of efforts to raise funds, acquire
an interest in PEP 38256, currently its sole exploration permit, conduct
preliminary seismic and geological studies over the Permit and participate in
drilling the Ealing-1 and Arcadia -1 exploration wells which occurred in the
fall of 2000.  Neither of these exploration wells discovered hydrocarbons.  As
currently structured, the Registrant proposes to derive all of its revenue from
a discovery of commercial quantities of hydrocarbons in PEP 38256.  By drilling
the two exploration wells the Registrant and its joint venture partners have met
all the work obligations under which the Permit was granted by the government of
New Zealand.  The Registrant and its joint venture partners are now in the
process of evaluating the information gained from drilling the Arcadia-1 and
Ealing-1 exploration wells in order to determine what if any future exploration
programs should be conducted on the Permit.  Should the Registrant and its joint
venture partners decide that future exploration is warranted, a critical part of
the Registrant's business plan will require it to fund its share of future
seismic and drilling exploratory costs.  There can be no assurance that the
Registrant will be able to successfully raise the capital required, when
required, to meet its proportionate costs, or that it will successful in
discovering commercial quantities of hydrocarbons, or that it will have access
to capital to develop a successful discovery without significant dilution or
cost to the Registrant's stockholders.

New Zealand Petroleum Exploration Permits

Under the Crown Minerals Act of 1991 ("CMA"), the exploration permit grants the
right to explore for hydrocarbons for a term of five years and may be extended
for up to a further five (5) years over half its area on conditions the Minister
of Economic Development considers appropriate. If the Registrant and its permit
partners  (collectively referred to as the "Holder") discover a deposit or
occurrence of petroleum, and satisfies the Minister that the results of
exploration justify granting a production permit, the Holder may, on application
before the expiry of the exploration permit, obtain a production permit for up
to 40 years for such part of the land as the deposit or occurrence relates to.
Changes to the conditions prescribed in a permit may be made by application to
the Minister, provided the Holder is in substantial compliance with the
conditions of the Permit. The Holder is presently in compliance with the permit
conditions.

PEP 38256 was originally granted on August 25, 1997. The exploration permit was
issued for a term of five years. The Holder is required to relinquish at least
50% of the permit area at the end of three years or by August 25, 2000. This
relinquishment has been made and approved by the Minister of Economic
Development.

<PAGE>
Page 7

The Holder is required to complete a work program disclosed herein to maintain
the permit in good standing.

The Permit terms consist of three schedules, which define the permit area, work
program and milestones, and the royalties payable to the New Zealand government
upon commercial discovery. PEP 38256 encompasses an area of 11,183 square
kilometers on the western coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The
activities under the work program must be completed prior to the dates specified
in the second schedule in order to maintain the Permit in good standing.

The second schedule specifies that within 15 months of the commencement date of
the Permit, the Holder must:

   1.   locate and analyze petroleum sweeps within the permit area;
   2.   model existing gravity data and acquire new gravity data as required to
        provide proper control on density models derived from gravity modeling;
   3.   acquire, model and interpret a minimum of 10 new magnetotelluric
        stations;
   4.   scan and process existing seismic data;
   5.   complete surface geological work on source and other sequences as
        appropriate;
   6.   integrate reprocessed onshore and existing offshore seismic data with
        wells and new seismic data acquired.

Within 24 months and 30 months respectively from the commencement date of the
Permit, the Holder must additionally acquire, process and interpret 80
kilometers and 120 kilometers of new seismic data. The Holder is also required
to drill one exploration well within 36 months of the commencement date to the
lesser of 1200 meters, or the proposed target depth, unless geological or
engineering constraints encountered during drilling render completion
impractical. Concurrent with the drilling of the exploration well, the Holder
must submit a work program satisfactory to the Minister of Economic Development
for the remainder of the Permit term.

Non-compliance with any of the above noted requirements may result in revocation
of the Permit at the sole option of the Minister of Economic Development. The
Minister of Economic Development must first issue a notice of default to the
Holder and the Holder has 60 days to cure the default. The Registrant its permit
partners have satisfied all of the obligations of the permit by drilling the
Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 exploration wells and are, therefore, recognized by the
Minister of Economic Development as being in good standing until August 25,
2002. Thereafter the Registrant and its partners have rights to retain 50% of
the remaining area of the permit for a further 5 year term, under a work program
yet to be defined.

A holder may also apply for an extension of time with respect to any of the
second schedule requirements but the Minister of Economic Development will
generally only consider delays related to local government environmental reviews
and insurmountable logistics problems such as the non-availability of a suitable
rig to drill at the required time.

The Permit's third schedule specifies royalties payable to the New Zealand
government under the Crown Minerals Program for Petroleum of 1995. When an
exploration permit is exchanged for a production permit upon a commercial
discovery, the Holder is obligated to pay royalties at the higher of 5% of net
sales revenues or 20% of accounting profits. The 5% royalty on net sales is
payable within 30 days of the calendar quarter end. Net sales are calculated as
gross sales plus hydrocarbons produced but not yet sold, less transportation,

<PAGE>
Page 8

storage costs and certain other adjustments to sales. The comparison of the 5%
royalty to the 20% accounting profits is calculated on an annual basis and
payable 90 days subsequent to the end of the calendar year. Accounting profits
is defined as the excess of net sales revenues over the total of allowable
deductions. Allowable deductions are the sum of the following costs incurred in
the current year less any capital proceeds received during the year;

   1.   Production costs
   2.   Capital costs (exploration and development costs, permit acquisition
        costs and feasibility costs)
   3.   Indirect costs
   4.   Abandonment costs
   5.   Operating and capital overhead allowances
   6.   Operating losses and capital costs carried forward to future reporting
        periods
   7.   Abandonment costs carried back to prior reporting periods

New Zealand Environmental Regulation

The Registrant's interest in PEP38256 is governed under the Resource Management
Act of 1991; ("RMA") which includes lands and waters within twelve miles of
coastal areas. The RMA controls users of natural and physical resources, with a
view to managing resource usage in ways that will not compromise future
utilization. The RMA places the emphasis on the assessment of the proposed
activities' impact on the environment and sustainable management of the
environment.

Under the RMA, regional and district councils govern resource management.
Regional and district councils have each established their own rules and
standards for environmental assessments and required degrees of consultation.
These rules may limit industries to designated areas or stipulate terms related
to land use or development of a natural resource, depending on the environmental
or social effects.  Applications, such as the Registrants application to drill
within PEP38256, may require public notice and allow public involvement in the
assessment process. Adverse decisions made by a regional or district council may
be appealed to the Environmental Court.

Risk Factors

The common shares of the Registrant must be considered a speculative purchase
due to a number of factors. Readers should carefully consider the risks
described below before deciding whether to purchase the Registrant's common
stock within the trading market. If the Registrant does not successfully address
any of the risks described below, there could be a material adverse effect on
the Registrant's business, financial condition or results of operations, and the
trading price of the Registrant's common stock may decline and investors may
lose all or part of their investment. The Registrant cannot assure any
shareholder that it will successfully address these risks.

1.   Limited History of Operations, Reliance on Expertise of Certain Persons
     and Substantial Other Interests

     The Registrant has a limited history of operations and the management of
     the Registrant and the growth of the Registrant's business depends on
     the continued involvement of Mr. Bennett and Mr. Cameron Fink who may
     not be easily replaced if either of them should leave the Registrant.
     The Registrant does not have employment agreements in place with Mr.
     Bennett or Mr. Fink nor does the Registrant carry key-person insurance

<PAGE>
Page 9

     for Mr. Bennett or Mr. Fink. Mr. Bennett has other business interests
     which results in him devoting, approximately 85% of his time to such
     other interests (See PART III ITEM 9-DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS,
     PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS and PART III ITEM 12-CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS
     AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS) while the remaining 15% of his time is devoted
     to the business of the Registrant. Mr. Fink has other business interests
     which results in him devoting, approximately 90% of his time to such
     other interests while the remaining 10% of his time is devoted to the
     business of the Registrant (See PART III ITEM 9-DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE
     OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS).

2.   Limited Financial Resources

     The Registrant has limited financial resources and will have to raise
     additional funds to sustain, continue and expand its business.  At the end
     of the Registrant's last completed fiscal year, dated September 30, 2000,
     the Registrant had $818,958 in working capital.  After paying for its share
     of the recent drilling costs associated with the Elaing-1 and Arcadia-1
     wells, the Registrant has approximately $325,000 in working capital.  The
     Registrant's required future expenditures for the period up to December 31,
     2001 are approximately $135,000 and relate to the evaluation of the permit
     area following the drilling of the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 wells plus
     accounting, legal and administrative costs. The Registrant and its permit
     partners have recently satisfied the five year obligations under which the
     permit was granted by completing the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 explorations
     wells.  The Registrant and its permit partners will now review and remap
     the permit in light of the information gained from drilling the exploration
     wells.  After the expiry of the first term of the permit on August 25, 2002
     the Registrant and its partners will have the option to retain 50% of the
     permit area under a new work program which had yet to be identified.  As
     the work program has yet to be negotiated with the Government of New
     Zealand, the capital necessary to carry out the work program cannot be
     determined at this time. However, the Registrant considers it probable that
     any such work program will require an amount of capital that exceeds the
     Registrant's current working capital. It is therefore likely that the
     Registrant currently does not have sufficient capital to satisfy the
     expected expenditures, has no revenues and will rely principally on the
     issuance of common shares to raise funds to finance the expenditures that
     are expected to be incurred beyond December 31, 2001.  There is no
     assurance that market conditions will continue to permit the Registrant to
     raise funds when required, and any additional equity financing could be
     dilutive to existing shareholders of the Registrant (See Risk Factor #14-
     Dilution and Low Priced Shares Eligible for Future Sales).  Should the
     Registrant fail to raise additional capital the Registrant will be unable
     to carry out its plan of operations and will be forced to abandon PEP
     38256, after August 25, 2002, which is currently the Registrant's sole
     property.

3.   Consequences of Failure to Satisfy Prescribed Permit or License Terms and
     Conditions

     Varying circumstances, including an inadequacy in the financial resources
     available to the Registrant to pay for the work required by the permit
     terms and conditions as outlined above or, the inability of the Registrant
     to secure the required equipment such as a drilling rig at the time
     required, and or circumstances beyond the control or influence of the
     Registrant may result in the failure to satisfy the terms and conditions of
     the permit and could therefore result in the complete loss or surrender of

<PAGE>
Page 10

     the interest in the permit or license without compensation to the
     Registrant.  Permit terms and conditions may, in certain cases, be
     renegotiated with applicable regulatory authorities, but there is no
     assurance that if a term or condition of the Permit that is required to be
     satisfied will not, or has not been met and may result in the loss of the
     interest in such permit or license, that such term or condition will be
     renegotiated with the applicable authority.

     While the Registrant and its permit partners are have met all the permit
     conditions up to August 25, 2002, if they decide to renew their permit over
     PEP 38256 a new work program will be attached to the permit.  If The
     Registrant does not have sufficient working capital to satisfy the future
     work conditions of PEP 38256, the Registrant will have to raise additional
     working capital to fund its portion the future exploration costs.
     Alternatively the Registrant can reduce its costs to fund the exploration
     by farming out part of its interest to a third party in exchange for the
     third party contributing to the costs of exploration.  If the permit
     obligations are not satisfied by the specified due dates the Registrant and
     its partners would be in non-compliance with the PEP 38256 permit terms.
     Non-compliance may result in revocation of the permit at the sole option of
     the Minister of Economic Development. The Minister of Economic Development
     must first issue a notice of default to the Holder and the Holder has 60
     days to cure the default.  As the interest in PEP 38256 is the sole
     property held by the Registrant the revocation or loss of the permit would
     be extremely detrimental to the Registrant's business.

4.   No Assurance of Earnings and Accumulated Losses

     The Registrant currently has no oil or gas producing properties nor has the
     Registrant ever generated any revenue from oil or gas sales.  The
     Registrant has no history of earnings and there is no assurance that the
     business of the Registrant will be profitable.  As at the end of the
     Registrant's fiscal year dated September 30, 2000, the Registrant has an
     accumulated deficit of $1,369,891 and the Registrant is expected to
     continue incurring operating losses and accumulating deficits in future
     periods.  This will happen because there are expenses associated with the
     research and exploration of PEP 38256.  The Registrant cannot guarantee
     that it will be successful in generating revenues in the future.  A failure
     to generate revenues will likely cause the Registrant to go out of
     business.

5.   No Intention to Pay Dividends

     The Registrant has not paid any dividends to its shareholders since
     inception and, due to its lack of earnings, is not in a position to declare
     a dividend to its shareholders and even if the Registrant's business is
     profitable there is no assurance that the board of directors will declare
     dividends on the Registrant's common shares.

6.   No Known Petroleum Reserves

     The Registrant has no known hydrocarbon reserves.  If the Registrant does
     not find a hydrocarbon reserve containing oil or gas or if the Registrant
     cannot develop the reserve, either because the Registrant does not have
     sufficient capital to do it or because it will not be economically feasible
     to do it, the Registrant will have to cease operations and anyone who has
     purchased the Registrant's shares would lose their investment.

7.   Competition with Other Companies

<PAGE>
Page 11

     Other companies with greater financial resources are in competition with
     the Registrant.  The Registrant must compete with such companies in bidding
     for the acquisition of petroleum interests from various state authorities,
     in purchasing or leasing equipment necessary to explore for, develop and
     produce hydrocarbons and in obtaining the services of personnel in the
     exploration for, and development and production of, hydrocarbons.  While
     the Registrant has acquired various rights to explore, there is no
     assurance that personnel and equipment will be available to carry out the
     programs planned by the Registrant.

8.   Failure to Locate Commercial Quantities of Hydrocarbons and Geological
     Risks

     There is no assurance that commercial quantities of hydrocarbons will be
     discovered and prices for hydrocarbons may vary, rendering any deposit
     discovered uneconomic.  In addition, even if hydrocarbons are discovered,
     the costs of extraction and delivering the hydrocarbons to market may
     render any deposit found uneconomic.  Geological conditions are variable
     and unpredictable.  Even if production is commenced from a well, the
     production will inevitably decline and may be affected or terminated by
     changes in geological conditions that cannot be foreseen or remedied by the
     Registrant.  The sole property owned by the Registrant is at the
     exploration stage and without known, commercial reserves of oil or gas.
     Oil and gas exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and
     few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing
     and profitable properties.

9.   Oil & Gas Price Fluctuations

     In the past few years, the price of oil & gas has been volatile.  At the
     present time the price of oil is significantly above the long run average
     price; while the price of natural gas is also high.  There can be no
     assurance that in the future prices for oil & gas production will stabilize
     at current rates.  A general downturn in the prices of oil & gas would
     likely lead the Registrant to reduce its exploration efforts on PEP 38256
     which in turn could lead to an abandonment of PEP 38256.

10.  Governmental Laws and Local Conditions

     Claims of aboriginal peoples in New Zealand may adversely affect the rights
     or operations of the Registrant. Currently the Registrant has no knowledge
     of any actual or potential claims with Aboriginal peoples in New Zealand
     with respect to PEP 38256 nor has there been any such claims initiated
     against the Registrant or PEP 38256 in the past.  The Registrant is subject
     to numerous foreign governmental regulations that relate directly and
     indirectly to its operations (See PART I ITEM 1- New Zealand Petroleum
     Exploration Permits and PART I ITEM 1- New Zealand Environmental
     Regulation).  These government regulations may impact the Registrant's
     operations by denying the Registrant certain permits and land use licenses
     that are necessary for the Registrant to continue its work program on PEP
     38256.  There is no assurance that the laws relating to the ownership of
     petroleum interests and the operation of the business of the Registrant in
     the jurisdictions in which it currently operates will not change in a
     manner that may materially and adversely affect the business of the
     Registrant.

<PAGE>
Page 12

     While conducting seismic exploration and exploration drilling activities,
     the Registrant is subject to laws and regulations that control the
     discharge of materials into the environment, require removal and cleanup in
     certain circumstances, require the proper handling and disposal of waste
     materials or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment.
     Subsequent to drilling a specific site, the Registrant will be required to
     conduct and pay for reclamation activities to return the site to its
     natural state as much as possible should the results of drilling not
     warrant further development of the site.  In operating and owning petroleum
     interests, the Registrant may be liable for damages and the costs of
     removing hydrocarbon spills for which it is held responsible. Laws relating
     to the protection of the environment have in many jurisdictions become more
     stringent in recent years and may, in certain circumstances, impose strict
     liability, rendering the Registrant liable for environmental damage without
     regard to negligence or fault on the part of the Registrant.  Such laws and
     regulations may expose the Registrant to liability for the conduct of, or
     conditions caused by, others or for acts of the Registrant that were in
     compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed.
     The application of these requirements or the adoption of new requirements
     could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Registrant.
     The Registrant believes that it has conducted its business in substantial
     compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.  To date
     the costs incurred by the Registrant to comply with these laws and
     regulations have not been of a material amount.

11.  Possible Lack of or Inadequacy of Insurance

     The Registrant maintains insurance against certain public liability,
     operational and environmental risks, but there is no assurance that an
     event causing loss will be covered by such insurance, that such insurance
     will continue to be available to, or carried by, the Registrant or, if
     available and carried, that such insurance will be adequate to cover the
     Registrant's liability.

12.  Marketing of Petroleum Products

     The ability of the Registrant to sell any future oil or gas production may
     be restricted or rendered unavailable due to factors beyond the control of
     the Registrant, such as a change in laws which regulate petroleum licensing
     and permitting within New Zealand or governmental confiscation without
     compensation.  The Registrant's profitability will largely depend on its
     ability to market any commercial quantities of oil & gas that may be found
     within PEP 38256.  Therefore, any restriction on the Registrant's ability
     to market its production would have a detrimental effect on the
     Registrant's ability to generate revenues and ultimately its ability to
     continue operating.

13.  Currency Fluctuation Risk

     Even if the Registrant makes discoveries in commercial quantities,
     development of a discovery may take a number of years and financial
     conditions at that time cannot be determined.  The Registrant holds its
     cash reserves in US dollars but incurs a significant proportion of its
     expenses in New Zealand denominated dollars.  Although over the past year
     the New Zealand dollar has weakened, as the table below shows, against the
     US dollar, an increase in value of the New Zealand dollar versus the US
     dollar would have a detrimental effect to the Registrant as the

<PAGE>
Page 13

     Registrant's expenses incurred would, in turn, increase in US dollars.
     While certain fluctuation can be expected to continue into the future there
     can be no assurance that in the future the exchange rate will stabilize at
     current rates.

     Fluctuations on a monthly basis in the Zealand dollar versus the U.S.
     dollar during the last year are as follows:

14.  Inadequacy of Public Market and Removal from 1934 Exchange Act Reporting
     Status

     The Registrant's common shares are quoted through the facilities of the
     National Quotation Bureau.  Management's strategy is to develop a public
     market for its common shares by soliciting brokers to become market makers
     of the Registrant's common shares.  To date, however, the Registrant has
     only approached one market maker directly while a limited number of other
     securities brokers have on their own volition become market makers.  The
     Registrant has only 48 shareholders of record as at December 14, 2000, and
     therefore no real market for the trading of its common shares.  There can
     be no assurance that a stable market for the Registrant's common shares
     will ever develop or, if it should develop, be sustained.  It should be
     assumed that the market for the Registrant's common shares will continue to
     be highly illiquid, sporadic and volatile.  These securities should not be
     purchased by anyone who cannot afford the loss of the entire investment.
     As of August 1999, the Registrant was required to become and maintain
     status as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
     "34 Act"), in order to be traded on the OTCBB by broker-dealers regulated
     by the National Association of Securities Dealers.  If the Company is
     delayed in becoming a reporting issuer under the 34 Act, or fails to
     continue to be a reporting issuer, management may encounter difficulty in
     maintaining or expanding a trading market in the near term, if at all, and
     shareholders may not be able to sell their shares in the public market.
     Management has determined that the excess costs to the Registrant to
     maintain its reporting status under the 34 Act are not warranted at this
     early stage in the Registrant's development as the capital otherwise
     expended on legal and accounting costs associated with being a reporting
     issuer could be spent on further exploration.  As a result, it is expected
     that the Registrant's common shares will continue to trade on the Pink
     Sheets and will not be listed on the OTCBB in the near future.  After
     removing itself as a reporting issuer, the Registrant will no longer be
     filing an annual Form 10KSB or a quarterly Form 10QSB, nor will the
     directors, officers and affiliates of the Registrant be required to file a

<PAGE>
Page 14

     Form 3 or a Form 4 to disclose their shareholdings and trades.  Other than
     information provided by the Registrant directly in the way of press
     releases, little or no information regarding the Registrant, its financial
     status and its business will be available to the public after the
     Registrant removes itself from the reporting requirements of the 34 Act.

15.  Dilution and Low Priced Shares Eligible for Future Sales

     The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
     100,000,000 shares of common stock.  The Registrant's Board of Directors
     has the power to issue any or all of such shares that are not yet issued
     without stockholder approval.  The Registrant's Board of Directors will
     likely issue some or all of such shares to acquire further capital in order
     to carry out its intended operations or expand its current operations, or
     to provide additional financing in the future.  The issuance of any such
     shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the
     outstanding shares of the Registrant's common shares.  If the Registrant
     does issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a
     reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other
     shareholders.  Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control
     of the Registrant.

     The Registrant has adopted a stock option plan authorizing the purchase of
     up to 3,000,000 shares and has issued options to acquire up to 217,500
     common shares exercisable at $1.50 per share.  The Registrant has
     additional options issued and outstanding to purchase up to 800,000 shares
     exercisable at a price of US$0.50 per share.  The Registrant has 5,000,000
     warrants outstanding exercisable at a price $1.00 per common and a further
     400,000 warrants exercisable at $2.25 per share.  The existence below-
     market priced options, warrants or common share issuances could adversely
     affect the market price of the Registrant's shares and could impair the
     Registrant's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its
     equity securities or debt financing.

     Approximately 5,000,000 common shares of restricted common stock will
     become eligible for sale under Rule 144 on approximately April 10, 2001 and
     additional common shares will become eligible for resale into the market if
     the Registrant issues more equity and there is no assurance or agreement
     that these holders will not sell any of their shares.  If a substantial
     number of these shares were to be offered for sale or sold in the market,
     the market price of the Registrant's common shares would likely be
     adversely affected.

16.  No Title Insurance

     Although the Registrant has done a review of titles to PEP 38256 it has not
     obtained title insurance with respect to the property and there is no
     guarantee of title.  Although the Registrant is not aware of any, the area
     which is covered by PEP 38256 may be subject to prior unregistered
     agreements or transfers or native land claims, and title may be affected by
     undetected defects.

17.  Penny Stock Regulation and Difficulties in Selling Shares

     The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted rules that
     regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny
     stocks."  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less
     than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national

<PAGE>
Page 15

     securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System,
     provided that current price and volume information with respect to
     transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
     The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a
     penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized
     risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information
     about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock
     market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and
     offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer
     and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements
     showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
     account.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a
     transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the
     broker-dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock
     is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's
     written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements often
     have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary
     market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.  The
     Registrant's common stock is currently subject to the penny stock rules,
     and accordingly, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares, if
     at all.

18.  Concentration of Ownership and Ineffective Voting Powers

     The directors, officers and other affiliates of the Registrant beneficially
     own a sufficient number of the outstanding common shares of the Registrant
     to be in control with respect to matter which may require a majority vote
     of the Registrant's shareholders, such as the election members of the board
     of directors or the sale of all or substantially all of the Registrant's
     assets.  Should the directors, officers and affiliates vote their shares in
     a like manner on a matter requiring a majority vote of the Registrant's
     shareholders, it is most likely that their position on the matter would
     control the outcome of the vote.  Additionally, because the directors,
     officers and affiliates control the Registrant through their significant
     shareholdings, the value attributable to the right to vote is essentially
     gone.  This could result in a reduction in the market value to the shares
     owned by a shareholder because of the ineffective voting power.

19.  Conflicts of Interest Among Other Companies with Common Directors and
     Common Controlling Shareholder.

     Mr. David Bennett is also a director of Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. a company
     who is currently the operator of and a partner in PEP 38256 pursuant to the
     terms of the PEP 38256 joint venture operating agreement.  Additionally,
     Mr. Guidi is a controlling shareholder of both the Registrant and Indo-
     Pacific Energy Ltd. and is also director of Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd.  Due
     to their roles in both the management of the Registrant and the management
     of Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. a conflict of interest could conceivable arise
     between the best interests of the Registrant and the best interests of Indo
     -Pacific Energy Ltd.  In a situation where a conflict of interest exists
     between the best interests of the Registrant and Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd.
     any decision by Mr. Guidi or Mr. David Bennett which furthers the best
     interests of Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. may be harmful to the business
     conducted by the Registrant.

     Mr. David Bennett, Mr. Michael Hart and Mr. Alex Guidi are also a directors
     of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. Mr. Guidi is also an executive officer and
     the controlling shareholder of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd., while Mr.

<PAGE>
Page 16

     Bennett also owns common shares and options in Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd.
     Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. is an affiliate and a controlling shareholder
     of the Registrant.  Due to their roles in both the management of the
     Registrant and the management of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. a conflict of
     interest could conceivable arise between the best interests of the
     Registrant and the best interests of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd.  In a
     situation where a conflict of interest exists between the best interests of
     the Registrant and Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. any decision by these
     persons which furthers the best interests of Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd.
     may be harmful to the business conducted by the Registrant.

Employees and Consultants

The Registrant is in the start up stage and none of the Registrant's executive
officers have employment agreements with the Registrant.  Mr. Cameron Fink
(President) and Mr. David Bennett (Vice-President of Exploration) devote less
than 20% of their time to the Registrants business.  The Registrant does not
have any employees, as the operator, Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd., of which Mr.
Bennett is the President and CEO, conducts exploration activities on PEP 38256
on behalf of the joint venture.  As the operator incurs expenses on the permit,
the operator submits cash calls on a periodic basis to the Registrant.  The
dollar value of the cash calls submitted by the operator to the Registrant will
be based upon the Registrant's percentage interest in PEP 38256.  All of the
Registrant's geological, exploration and technical services are provided
consultants who bill their services to the joint venture.  The Registrant also
receives corporate services from DLJ Management Corp., a subsidiary of Trans-
Orient Petroleum Corp. The services consist of shareholder relations and
communications, administrative and accounting support.  DLJ Management Corp.
provides their services on a hourly basis and has devoted less than 20% of their
time to matters related to the Registrant. DLJ Management Corp. bills monthly
for its services on the basis of a cost recovery basis for labor and rent,
office costs, and employee benefits.

ITEM 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Registrant maintains a 120 square foot head office space on a rent free
basis located at Suite 700, 700 - 6th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from
which the President of the Registrant conducts business on behalf of the
Registrant.  The operator conducts business on behalf of the Registrant directly
related to PEP38256 in a 4000 square foot operations office in Wellington, New
Zealand. This office space is shared with the operator of PEP 38256,
Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. and two other exploration companies and the operator
bills the Registrant monthly for the facility on the basis of actual hours
worked in a given month for activities directly related to the Permit.

The Registrant currently has no oil or gas producing properties and at present,
no known deposits of oil or gas. Currently, the sole asset owned by the
Registrant is its 58% and 50% interests in the South Area and North Area,
respectively, of PEP 38256. Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. is the operator on PEP
38256 and is carrying out the required exploration programs on behalf of the
joint venture pursuant to an operating agreement dated June 25, 1998 and under
which the Registrant's initial interest in the Permit was acquired. Under the
terms of the operating agreement, each participant in the Permit is entitled to
a specified equity share or percentage in the Permit provided each participant
pays for its pro rata share of expenditures or cash calls related to the
development of the Permit. The level of expenditures and the work program are
determined by agreement between the members of the joint venture, who vote pro
rata with respect to their equity share with respect to expenditure proposals.
The Registrant holds a veto vote over expenditure proposals, and other than work

<PAGE>
Page 17

which is obligatory under the conditions of the Permit, cannot be forced into
any expenditure it does not approve. If any participant, including the operator,
does meet its required obligations or pay its portion of the cash calls, that
participant will automatically relinquish its interest to the other participants
in the Permit.

On June 25, 1998, Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. and Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd.
granted two options to the Registrant. The first option was for the Registrant
to acquire a 30% interest upon payment of past costs and a 125-mile seismic
program designed to identify two drilling prospects. This option was exercised
on August 4, 1998. The second option entitles the Registrant to acquire up to a
further 50% interest on payment of any additional required seismic and for the
cost of drilling up to two exploratory wells.

The option agreement was modified by three subsequent agreements dated December
3, 1998, October 26, 1999 and February 23, 2000, which extended the period of
time in which the Registrant must exercise its option to acquire a further
interest in PEP 38256 to June 16, 2000.

On March 31, 2000, Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. and Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd.
concluded a transaction under which all of the oil and gas assets of
Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. were sold to Indo including Trans-Orient Petroleum
Ltd.'s interest in PEP 38256. After the transaction was concluded the interest
holders in PP 38256 was the Registrant (30%) and Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. (70%).

On June 8, 2000 Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd., the operator of PEP38256, and the
Registrant completed the processing and interpretation of the third stage of the
planned seismic to further detail drilling locations for the Arcadia and Ealing
prospects. The Arcadia prospect is situated in the North Area of the permit
area, adjacent to the Rangiora Trough, where sedimentary rocks covering an area
of approximately 25,000 acres are buried at sufficient depth to provide a
potential hydrocarbon charge. The Ealing prospect is located in the South Area
of the permit and has been mapped as a potential hydrocarbon trap over
approximately 15,000 acres. The target is adjacent to the main fault that bounds
the Ealing structure.

On June 28, 2000 the Registrant exercised its option to acquire an additional
50% participating interest PEP38256 from Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. Under the
terms of the option agreement, the Registrant would earn the interest by funding
the entire costs of drilling and testing two exploration wells. The planned
depth for each of the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 wells was 6000 feet to reach the
potential targets, with several targets both above and below the Homebush
Sandstones that reside as a geological formation at 6000 feet. The anticipated
costs to drill the two wells including mobilization cost of the drilling rig was
$1,013,000 for the Ealing-1 and $791,000 for the Arcadia-1.

In order to fund the costs of drilling the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 wells, the
Registrant entered into three farm out agreements with third parties under which
the Registrant assigned a portion of its 80% interest in exchange for each of
the third parties paying a portion of the drilling costs on the two wells.

The first farm out agreement was entered into Orion Exploration Limited "Orion",
a subsidiary of the Orion Group, on October 9, 2000. Pursuant to the agreement
Orion earned a 10% interest in both the South Area and North Area of PEP 38256
by reimbursing the Company for a portion of past exploration costs, and by
contributing 20% to the cost of drilling both the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 wells.

The Registrant previously reported this transaction through the filing of a Form
8K which included a copy of the farmout agreement as an exhibit all of which was
filed on October 24, 2000, the contents of which are incorporated by reference
herein.

The second farm out agreement was entered into with Magellan Petroleum Australia
Limited "Magellan" on October 23, 2000. Pursuant to the agreement the Registrant
granted Magellan a twenty percent (20%) beneficial interest in the South Area of
PEP 38256, which includes the site of the Ealing- 1 well. In consideration for
the interest, Magellan reimbursed the Company for a portion of past exploration
costs, and by contributing 34% to the cost of drilling the Ealing-1 well. The
agreement also provided Magellan with the opportunity to acquire up to a 20%
interest in the North Area, including the Arcadia-1 well, after the results of
the Ealing-1 well were determined, and in exchange Magellan would be required to
pay the Registrant for a portion of past exploration costs, and contribute 40%
to the cost of drilling the Arcadia-1 well

Based upon the unsuccessful results from drilling the Ealing-1 well, Magellan
chose not to exercise their option to acquire an interest in the North Area; and
pursuant to the terms of the farmin agreement, Magellan chose to reduce its
beneficial interest in the South Area to a twelve percent (12%). The Registrant
previously reported this transaction through the filing of a Form 8K which
included a copy of the farmout agreement as an exhibit all of which was filed on
November 7, 2000, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.

The third farm out agreement occurred on November 20, 2000 when the Registrant's
board of directors ratified a letter agreement earlier entered into with Durum
Cons. Energy Corp. "Durum". Pursuant to the agreement the Registrant granted
Durum a twenty percent (20%) beneficial interest in the North Area of PEP 38256,
which includes the site of the Arcadia-1 well, with effect from the date on
which the Arcadia-1 well spudded. Pursuant to the agreement Durum earned a 20%
interest in the North Area of PEP 38256 by reimbursing the Registrant for a
portion of past exploration costs, and by contributing 40% to the cost of
drilling the Arcadia-1 well. (See PART III, ITEM 12 "CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS" for a description of the relationship between Durum Cons.
Energy Corp. and the Registrant).

After giving effect to these farmouts, the interests in PEP 38256 are the
following:

Petroleum Exploration Permit 38256, South Island

The Canterbury Basin is located both onshore and offshore in the area
surrounding Christchurch, on the South Island of New Zealand. The total area of
the Canterbury Basin is approximately twelve million acres. The sediments in the
Canterbury Basin range in age from Middle Cretaceous to Miocene. PEP 38256,
which contains a portion of the Canterbury Basin, was granted on August 25, 1997
to Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. and Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. The permit area is

<PAGE>
Page 19

situated in the onshore area surrounding Christchurch and encompasses 2,760,120
acres or (11,183 square kilometers). The permit term is five years, but a
minimum of 50% must be relinquished within three years. On August 25, 2000 the
participants in PEP 38256 relinquished back to the government of New Zealand 50%
of the PEP 38256 permit area that was considered to be of lesser prospectivity.
After the relinquishment the PEP 38256 permit covers an area of approximately
1.3 million acres which contains all the prospects and exploration leads so far
identified by the Company and its joint venture partner in the permit. Any
production permits granted will be for a term of up to 40 years from the date of
issue. The Crown in right of New Zealand has reserved a royalty of the greater,
in any one year, of five per cent of net sales revenue from the sale of
petroleum products or 20% of accounting profits. (See PART I ITEM 1- New Zealand
Petroleum Exploration Permits).

Prior to the Registrant acquiring its interest, five exploration wells had been
drilled on PEP 38256 since 1914. Four exploration wells in the offshore part of
the Canterbury Basin have been drilled since 1970, two of which resulted in
gas-condensate discoveries. Neither of the gas-condensate discoveries proved to
be economic. The data gathered from these past activities is relevant in
interpreting the geology of PEP 38256, but generally, the area is lightly
explored. The basement rocks are Paleozoic and Mesozoic metasediments. Overlying
these in places are Cretaceous coal measure formations, and Paleocene and Eocene
terrestrial sediments which gradually become of marine origin towards the
eastern part of the basin. Overlying these formations are Oligocene limestone
and sandstone formations, which are principally marine in origin. The early
Miocene period saw the deposition of marine sandstones and mudstones with a
gradation to nonmarine sediments in the late Miocene period. The Pliocene and
Quaternary strata are principally gravels derived from the formation of the
Southern Alps with some volcanics.

The sandstones in the Miocene, Paleocene and late Cretaceous formations are
considered to be potential reservoirs, with lesser emphasis placed on the Eocene
and Oligocene limestones. Interbedded mudstones would provide seals for the
reservoirs. Source formations are thought to be Late Jurassic to Upper
Cretaceous coal formations, and Late Cretaceous Whangai mudstones and Paleocene
Waipawa Black Shale formations, which are identified as source rocks in other
New Zealand basins.

Under the terms of the permit, the participants completed a work program to
locate and analyse petroleum seeps within the permit area, model existing
gravity data and acquire new gravity data, collect and interpret a minimum of
ten magnetotelluric stations, process existing seismic data and complete surface
geological work by November 25, 1998. Additionally, the participants met the
requirement to collect, process and interpret 48 miles of new seismic data by
August 25, 1999. The participants also acquired, processed and interpreted a
further 25 miles of additional seismic data, required by February 25, 2000, and
committed to drilling the first exploratory well. In addition to the work
required to be completed under the terms of the permit, the participants also
acquired in April 2000, a further 100 miles of seismic in order to define a
suitable drilling location.

Several sizable leads and prospects, including the Ealing, Arcadia and Chertsey
South Leads, were identified by the 125 miles of seismic data collected in 1998,
and by the 165 miles of seismic data collected in 1999.  The seismic acquired in
April 2000 focused on the Ealing and Arcadia Prospects with goal of determining
suitable drilling locations. In June/July 2000 the drilling locations had been
determined on the Ealing and Arcadia Prospects. On October 19, 2000 the Ealing-1
exploration well was spudded. The main objective sandstones were encountered
near the predicted depth and are well developed, but there is no evidence for
commercial hydrocarbons. The well was plugged and abandoned. After competing the
Ealing-1 well, the Drilling rig moved to the Arcadia Prospect and on November

<PAGE>
Page 20

12, 2000 the Arcadia-1 well was spudded. On November 20, 2000 it was announced
that the Arcadia-1 reached its TD of 1479m ( 4852 feet ). While reservoir
quality sandstones were encountered, no effective top seal to these was present,
and there was no evidence for commercial hydrocarbons. The Arcadia-1 well was
plugged and abandoned.

ITEM 6.   PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The Registrant has been principally involved in the acquisition, interpretation
and mapping of seismic on PEP 38256 during the past two years and hence has not
yet received revenues from operations, profitability or break-even cash flow. As
of the date of the Registrant's last completed fiscal period ending September
30, 2000 a total of $ 1,332,543 was spent by the Registrant on the Permit. The
Registrant currently has no oil or gas producing properties nor any known
deposits of oil or gas. The Registrant and its permit partners have recently
satisfied the five year obligations under which the permit was granted by
completing the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 explorations wells. The Registrant and its
joint venture partners are required or plan to carry out the following work
during the calendar year 2001:

Review seismic, drilling and geological data in PEP 38256 in light of the
results of Arcadia-1 and Ealing-1 wells.

In more detail, this will consist of :

a)   Geochemical and petrological review of cuttings from the wells, to
     determine petroleum source potential and reservoir quality
b)   Petrophysical analysis of electric logs and integration with well
     lithology

<PAGE>
Page 23

c)   Completion of a data trade with the permit holder of the adjacent
     offshore area, in order to construct regional synthesis of stratigraphic
     and lithologic correlations and to better identify petroleum source and
     migration parameters
d)   Reinterpretation of permit seismic data in light of the wells, in order to
     identify and rank other exploration prospects and leads within PEP 38256

Total cost of this work is budgetted at US$50,000, of which the Registrant's
share is US$25,000. After paying for its share of the recent drilling costs
associated with the Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 wells, the Registrant has
approximately $325,000 in working capital. The Registrant's required future
expenditures for the period up to December 31, 2001 are approximately $135,000
and relate to the evaluation of the permit area following the drilling of the
Ealing-1 and Arcadia-1 wells and accounting, legal and administrative expense.

After the expiry of the first term of the permit on August 25, 2002 the
Registrant and its partners will have the option to retain 50% of the permit
area under a new work program which had yet to be identified. As the work
program has yet to be negotiated with the Government of New Zealand, the capital
necessary to carry out the work program cannot be determined at this time.
However, the Registrant considers it probable that any such work program will
require an amount of capital that exceeds the Registrant's current working
capital. It is therefore likely that the Registrant currently does not have
sufficient capital to satisfy the expected expenditures, has no revenues and
will rely principally on the issuance of common shares to raise funds to finance
the expenditures that are expected to be incurred beyond December 31, 2001.
Failure to raise additional funds would result in the relinquishment of the
Registrants interest in the permit, currently the Registrants sole asset. The
Registrant has relied principally on the issuance of common shares by private
placements to individuals known to officers and directors of the Registrant,
Trans-Orient Petroleum Ltd. and Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd., companies which are
related through a common controlling shareholder and participants in PEP38256,
(See PART III ITEM 12- CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS) to raise
funds to support the business. There can be no assurance that the Registrant
will be successful in raising additional funds through the issuance of
additional equity nor that the parties that provided funds in the past will
continue to do so.

The Registrant does not expect any significant purchases of plant & equipment
nor any increase in the number of employees in the near future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AMG Oil Ltd. (formerly Trans New
Zealand Oil Company)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMG Oil Ltd.
(formerly Trans New Zealand Oil Company) (a development stage enterprise) as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and for the period from inception on February
20, 1997 to September 30, 2000.  These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AMG Oil Ltd.
(formerly Trans New Zealand Oil Company) (a development stage enterprise) as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and for the period from
inception on February 20, 1997 to September 30, 2000 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company is a development stage enterprise and has yet to
establish any revenues from business operations.  As a result, there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

For the Years Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Trans New
Zealand Oil Company on February 20, 1997.  The Company's name was subsequently
changed to AMG Oil Ltd. on July 27, 1998.  The business of the Company is the
acquisition and exploration of oil and gas interests.

The Company is a development stage enterprise and is required to identify that
these consolidated financial statements are those of a development stage
enterprise in accordance with paragraph 12 of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 7.  However, the Company is primarily engaged in the exploration
of PEP 38256, its only oil and gas interest, and is not engaged in the
development of PEP 38256, as that term is defined in the oil and gas industry.

The Company has yet to determine whether PEP 38256 contains oil and gas reserves
that are economically recoverable.  Further, there can be no assurance that the
Company will ever discover commercial quantities of oil and gas or obtain proved
reserves.  The recoverability of the amounts capitalized for oil and gas
property is dependent upon the completion of exploration work, the discovery of
oil and gas reserves in commercial quantities and the subsequent development of
such reserves.

The Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its
entire exploration activities and has therefore relied principally upon the
issuance of securities for financing.  Additionally, the Company may reduce its
exposure in its oil and gas interest by farming out to other participants. The
Company intends to continue relying upon these measures to finance its
operations and exploration activities to the extent such measures are available
and obtainable under terms acceptable to the Company.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

Refer to Note 7

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)   Basis of Consolidation

     These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMG Oil
     Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMG Oil Holdings Ltd., AMG Oil (NZ)
     Limited and Trans New Zealand Oil (PNG) Limited.  All significant
     intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

b)   Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the fiscal year.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

c)   Translation of Foreign Currencies

     The Company's foreign operations through its subsidiaries are of an
     integrated nature and accordingly, the functional currency of the Company's
     foreign subsidiaries is the United States dollar.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     Revenues and expenses arising from foreign currency transactions are
     translated into United States dollars at the average rate for the year.
     Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars
     at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Other assets and
     liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rates
     prevailing on the transaction dates.  Exchange gains and losses are
     recorded as income or expense in the year in which they occur.

d)   Financial Instruments and Financial Risk

     Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due
     to related parties are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to
     the short-term nature of these instruments.  Investments are carried at
     fair value.

e)   Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued

     The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
     133: Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
     originally effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 1999 but
     extended one year to June 15, 2000 as revised by SFAS No. 137.  SFAS No.
     133 requires that the fair-market value of derivatives be reported on the
     balance sheet and any changes in the fair value of the derivative be
     reported in income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate.  The
     Company does not expect adoption of this new standard to have a material
     effect on its financial reporting.

f)   Joint Operations

     The Company's oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with other
     companies and accordingly, these financial statements reflect only the
     Company's proportionate interest in these activities.

     Refer to Note 5

g)   Investments

     Investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at
     fair value, based on quoted market prices, with any unrealized losses from
     temporary declines or unrealized gains reported as a component of
     "Cumulative Comprehensive Adjustment" in stockholders' equity. An other-
     than-temporary impairment requires the cost basis of the individual
     security to be written down to the fair value with the amount of the write-
     down accounted for as a realized loss and included in earnings.

     Refer to Note 6

h)   Property and equipment

     Property and equipment consist of furniture, leasehold improvements and
     office equipment and are recorded at cost and depreciated over their
     estimated useful lives on a declining balance basis at annual rates of 20%
     to 30%.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

i)   Oil and Gas Interest

     The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas
     operations whereby all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration
     and development of oil and gas interests are capitalized in cost centers on
     a country-by-country basis. Such costs include property acquisition costs,
     geological and geophysical studies, carrying charges on non-producing
     properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells, and
     overhead expenses directly related to these activities.

     The Company is primarily engaged in the exploration of PEP 38256, an
     unproved oil and gas interest, and has yet to determine whether PEP 38256
     contains oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable.  The
     Company does not have any other oil and gas interests.  PEP 38256 is
     assessed for impairment on an annual basis by applying factors that rely on
     historical experience.  In general, the Company may write-off all, or a
     portion of, PEP 38256 under one or more of the following conditions:

     i)   there are no firm plans for further drilling on the unproved interest;
     ii)  negative results were obtained from studies of the unproved interest;
     iii) negative results were obtained from studies conducted in the vicinity
          of the unproved interest; or
     iv)  the remaining term of the unproved interest does not allow sufficient
          time for further studies or drilling.

     Calculations for depletion and the ceiling test are required under the full
     cost method.  Although these calculations are summarized below, they do not
     apply to the Company and may never apply to the Company unless proved
     reserves are discovered or acquired, which may never happen.

     Depletion is calculated for producing interests by using the unit-of-
     production method based on proved reserves, before royalties, as determined
     by management of the Company or independent consultants. Sales of oil and
     gas interests are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs,
     without any gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments significantly
     alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil
     and gas attributable to a cost center.  Costs of abandoned oil and gas
     interests are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs and written
     off to expense.

     A ceiling test is applied to each cost center by comparing the net
     capitalized costs to the present value of the estimated future net revenues
     from production of proved reserves discounted by 10%, net of the effects of
     future costs to develop and produce the proved reserves, plus the costs of
     unproved interests net of impairment, and less the effects of income taxes.
     Any excess capitalized costs are written off to expense.

j)   Income Taxes

     The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach
     that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
     the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
     the Company's financial statements or tax returns.  In estimating future
     tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of
     changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.

NOTE 5 - OIL AND GAS INTEREST

As at September 30, 2000, the Company has a 30% participating interest in
Petroleum Exploration Permit 38256 ("PEP 38256"), which was granted on August
25, 1997. PEP 38256 is located in New Zealand and provides for the exclusive
right to explore for petroleum for an initial term of five years, renewable for
an additional five years. One-half of the original area was relinquished on
August 25, 2000, and a further one half of the remaining area is required to be
relinquished upon renewal of PEP 38256, by August 25, 2002. The other
participant in PEP 38256 is Indo-Pacific Energy Ltd. ("Indo-Pacific") (70%), as
the operator.

By an agreement dated June 25, 1998, the Company acquired a right to earn up to
an 80% participating interest in PEP 38256 from Indo-Pacific and Trans-Orient
Petroleum Ltd. ("Trans-Orient"). In December 1998, the Company earned a 30%
participating interest in PEP 38256 by funding all of the costs of acquiring,
processing and interpreting 200 kilometers of seismic data. The Company has the
right to earn an additional 50% participating interest by funding all of the
costs of drilling two exploration wells including any further seismic data
required prior to drilling.

NOTE 5 - OIL AND GAS INTEREST (continued)

By agreements dated December 3, 1998, October 26, 1999 and February 23, 2000,
this right was extended to June 15, 2000, and has been amended as follows:

i)   earn an additional 50% participating interest in PEP 38256 by funding all
     of the costs of drilling two exploration wells including any further
     seismic data required prior to drilling; or
ii)  earn an additional 35% participating interest in PEP 38256 by funding all
     of the costs of drilling one exploration well including any further seismic
     data required prior to drilling and, at the option of the Company upon
     completion of the first exploration well, earn a further 15% participating
     interest in PEP 38256 by funding all of the costs of drilling a second
     exploration well including any further seismic data required prior to
     drilling.

By notice dated June 15, 2000, the Company committed to earn a further 50%
participating interest in PEP 38256 by funding all of the costs of drilling two
exploration wells in 2000.

The Company and the other participant have completed the work program required
for the first two and a half years. PEP 38256 originally required the
participants to complete the remaining work program that included drilling one
exploration well prior to August 25, 2000, or surrender the permit. This
requirement has been amended, requiring the participants to drill one well by
October 31, 2000 and a second well by December 31, 2000.

At September 30, 2000, PEP 38256 is in good standing with respect to its work
commitments. The Company's share of the committed work program for the 2001
fiscal year requires an estimated $622,000 of exploration expenditures to be
incurred.

NOTE 8 - COMMON STOCK (continued)

SFAS 123 requires a fair value based method of accounting for all compensatory
stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. However, these
models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options and
require the input of and are highly sensitive to subjective assumptions
including the expected stock price volatility. The stock options granted by the
Company have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options and, in the opinion of management, the existing model does not provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of any compensatory stock options
granted by the Company.

In accordance with SFAS 123, the following is a summary of the changes in the
Company's stock options for the 2000, 1999 and 1998 fiscal periods:

                            2000               1999               1998

During the 2000 fiscal year, the Company granted stock options to purchase a
total of 217,500 shares exercisable at a price of $1.50 per share. The weighted
average fair value of the options granted was estimated at the date of grant or
amendment using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 6.23%; volatility
factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 1.49;
option lives of 5 years; and no expected dividends. Additionally, stock options
to purchase 800,000 shares at a price of $0.50 until July 31, 2000 were amended
to establish a new expiry date of December 31, 2000. No stock options were
granted during the 1999 fiscal year thus no weighted-average fair value has been
assigned.

During the 1998 fiscal year, the Company granted stock options to purchase a
total of 2,000,000 shares exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share until expiry
on July 31, 2000. As these stock options were not compensatory in nature, the
calculation of compensation cost under APB 25 and SFAS 123 do not apply.
Accordingly, the Company's net loss and basic and diluted loss per share as
reported and pro forma as if SFAS 123 had been applied are the same for the 1999
and 1998 fiscal periods.

NOTE 9 - LOSS PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128: Earnings per Share ("SFAS
128") replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share ("EPS") with a
presentation of both basic and diluted EPS for all entities with complex capital
structures including a reconciliation of each numerator and denominator. Basic
EPS excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
dilutive securities were converted into common stock and is computed similarly
to fully-diluted EPS pursuant to previous accounting pronouncements. SFAS 128
applies equally to loss per share presentations.

Stock options outstanding are not included in the computation of diluted loss
per share as such inclusion would be antidilutive due to net losses incurred for
the 2000, 1999 and 1998 fiscal periods. A reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share calculations are as
follows:

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109: Accounting for Income Taxes
("SFAS 109") requires that deferred taxes reflect the tax consequences on future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts. The adoption of SFAS 109 had no material effect on
the Company's financial statements. Pursuant to SFAS 109, the potential benefit
of net operating loss carry forwards has not been recognized in the financial
statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not
that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The components of the net
deferred tax asset, the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the
elected amount of the valuation allowance are as follows:

                              2000                 1999               1998

The Company's net operating loss carryforward expires at various dates from the
year 2007 to 2020.

The Company's subsidiary in New Zealand has tax losses of NZ$2,591,539 to offset
future years taxable income in New Zealand. The realization of these tax loss
benefits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income and satisfying
shareholder continuity requirements in accordance with New Zealand tax law.

ITEM 8   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

The Registrant's former independent auditor, KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, of
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada was dismissed by the Registrant on January
25, 1999.  The former auditor had not expressed an opinion on any financial
statements of the Registrant.

The decision to change auditors was approved by the Registrant's board of
directors. The board of directors decided to dismiss the former auditor due to
the belief that the former auditor would not be able to consistently meet the
time requirements for the preparation of the Registrant's financial statements.
There were no disagreements with the former auditor on any audit or accounting
issues.

The Registrant engaged the firm of Telford Sadovnick, PLLC, Certified Public
Accountants, as its new auditor.
