ITEM 1   -    Financial Statements


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the Company's 59.25% owned subsidiary, Coastal Petroleum Company
(Coastal Petroleum) and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.


Note 2.  Litigation
         ----------

         On January 16, 2001, Coastal Petroleum Company filed a complaint in the
Leon County Circuit Court, Florida against the State of Florida seeking
compensation for the State's taking of its property rights to explore for oil
and gas within its state Lease 224-A.

         On April 24, 2001, the Leon County Circuit trial judge granted certain
royalty holders with overriding royalties, which aggregate approximately 4% on
State Lease 224-A, the right to intervene on a limited basis in the takings
lawsuit, which was filed on January 16, 2001. On May 22, 2001, the royalty
holders appealed the Circuit Court's order granting them limited intervention to
the First District Court of Appeal, claiming the order denied them the right to
fully participate in the case until after final judgment and that the court
erroneously found that the royalty holders lack an ownership interest in
Coastal's lease. On June 12, 2001, the Court of Appeal ordered the royalty
holders to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction. The royalty holders filed a response to the Court of Appeal on
June 21, 2001, Coastal Petroleum filed its reply on July 2, 2001 and the State
of Florida filed its reply on July 5, 2001. The Court of Appeal is currently
considering the matter.

ITEM 1   -        Financial Statements (Cont'd)

Note 2.  Litigation (Cont'd)
         -------------------

         On April 26, 2001, the Leon County Circuit trial judge denied the State
of Florida's motions to dismiss the takings lawsuit, which was filed on January
16, 2001. Discovery in the case is now proceeding.

         On October 1, 2001, the Leon County Circuit Court trial judge on its
own motion issued an order scheduling a case management conference for November
27, 2001. The order provides that counsel should be prepared to discuss a
discovery schedule, the setting of a trial date, and several other matters.

         At September 30, 2001, the amount of unproved oil, gas and mineral
properties totaled $4.9 million, which costs the Company expects to recover.
However, no assurances can be given that Coastal Petroleum or Coastal Caribbean
will prevail in the Florida litigation, or that they will recover compensation
for any of their claims.


Note 3.       Earnings (loss) per share
              -------------------------

         Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company's
basic and diluted calculations of EPS are the same because the exercise of
options is not assumed in calculating diluted EPS, since the Company's
continuing losses would have an anti-dilutive effect.

              ---------------------------------------------------------------
              Results of Operation
              --------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical in nature
are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, "forward looking statements"
for purposes of the "Safe Harbor Statement" under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers that forward looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward looking
statements. Among the risks and uncertainties are:

         1.       the uncertainty of any decision favorable to Coastal Petroleum
                  in its litigation against the State of Florida; and

         2.       the substantial cost of continuing the litigation.


                              Short Term Liquidity

         At September 30, 2001, Coastal Caribbean had approximately $1.2 million
of cash and cash equivalents available and this amount should be sufficient to
fund the Company's operations in the year 2001. These funds are expected to be
used for general corporate purposes, including any required exploration and
development and to continue the litigation against the State of Florida.


                               Long Term Liquidity

         On January 16, 2001, Coastal Petroleum Company filed a complaint in the
Leon County Circuit Court, Florida against the State of Florida seeking
compensation for the State's taking of its property rights to explore for oil
and gas within its state Lease 224-A. The Company expects that the cost of the
litigation will be substantial. If the litigation is prolonged, the Company may
be required to seek additional financing.

              Results of Operation
              --------------------

Results of Operations
---------------------

Three months ended September 30, 2001 vs. September 30, 2000
------------------------------------------------------------

         The Company incurred a loss of $487,000 for the 2001 quarter, compared
to a loss of $313,000 for the comparable 2000 quarter.

         Interest income and other income increased 244% from $3,600 in the 2000
quarter to $12,400 in the 2001 quarter because of the funds realized and
invested from the October 2000 sale of common stock to the Company's
shareholders.

         Legal fees and costs increased 138% to $328,000 for the 2001 quarter
from $138,000 in the prior period. Legal fees and costs increased in the 2001
period in connection with Coastal Petroleum Company's lawsuit against the State
of Florida seeking compensation for the State's taking of its property rights to
explore for oil and gas within its state Lease 224-A. The Company expects that
the cost of the litigation will be substantial.

         Administrative expenses decreased 6% during the 2001 period to $121,000
from $129,000 in the 2000 period.

         Salaries did not change during the periods and remained at $38,000 in
the 2001 quarter.

         Shareholder communications increased 33% during the 2001 period to
$12,000 from $9,000 in the 2000 period because of a timing difference between
the periods in the mailing of the materials for the annual meeting of
shareholders.

         Exploration costs decreased from $2,000 in the 2000 quarter to $0 in
the 2001 quarter.

              ---------------------------------------------------------------
              Results of Operation
              --------------------

Nine months ended September 30, 2001 vs. September 30, 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------

         The Company incurred a loss of $1,778,000 for the 2001 period, compared
to a loss of $1,005,000 for the comparable 2000 period.

         Interest income and other income increased 217% from $23,000 in 2000 to
$73,000 in 2001 because of the funds realized and invested from the October 2000
sale of common stock to the Company's shareholders.

         Legal fees and costs increased 216% to $1,237,000 for 2001 from
$392,000 in the prior period. Legal fees and costs increased in the 2001 period
in connection with Coastal Petroleum Company's lawsuit against the State of
Florida seeking compensation for the State's taking of its property rights to
explore for oil and gas within its state Lease 224-A. The Company expects that
the cost of the litigation will be substantial.

         Administrative expenses decreased 3% in 2001 to $403,000 from $415,000
in the 2000 period.

         Salaries did not change during the periods and remained at $114,000 in
2001.

         Shareholder communications did not change during the periods and
remained at $98,000 in 2001.

         Exploration costs decreased from $8,400 in the 2000 period to $500 in
2001.


ITEM 3   -    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
------        ---------------------------------------------------------

         The Company does not have any significant exposure to market risk as
the only market risk sensitive instruments are its investments in marketable
securities classified as cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2001, the
carrying value of such investments was approximately $1.09 million, the fair
value was $1.09 million and the face value was $1.1 million. Since the Company
expects to hold the investments to maturity, the maturity value should be
realized.
