                          ENERGY CORPORATION OF AMERICA
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


1.     Nature  of  Organization

Energy Corporation of America (the "Company") was formed in June 1993 through an
exchange  of  shares  with  the  common  stockholders of Eastern American Energy
Corporation ("Eastern American").  The Company is an independent energy company.
All  references  to  the "Company" include Energy Corporation of America and its
consolidated  subsidiaries.

Oil  and  Gas  Exploration, Development, Production and Marketing - The Company,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
through its wholly owned subsidiary Eastern American, is engaged in exploration,
development  and  production,  transportation  and  marketing  of  natural  gas
primarily within the Appalachian Basin states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Ohio.

The  Company,  through  its wholly owned subsidiaries Westech Energy Corporation
and Westech Energy New Zealand, is engaged in the exploration for and production
of  oil  and  natural  gas  primarily  in  the  Rocky Mountains, New Zealand and
Australia.


2.     Accounting  Policies

Reference  is  hereby  made  to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal  year  ended  June 30, 2000, which contains a summary of major accounting
policies  followed  in  preparation  of  its  consolidated financial statements.
These  policies  were  also  followed in preparing the quarterly report included
herein.

Management  of  the  Company  believes  that all adjustments (consisting of only
normal  recurring  accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
such  interim  periods have been made.  The results of operations for the period
ended  September  30,  2000  are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected  for  the  full  year.

Certain  amounts  in  the  financial  statements  of  prior  periods  have  been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  In addition, due to
the  sale  of  the  utility  operations,  see  Note  3, amounts in the financial
statements  and  related notes for all periods presented have been reclassified.


3.     Disposal  of  Utility  Operations

On  August  18,  2000,  the  Company  sold  all of the stock of its wholly owned
natural  gas  distribution  company,  Mountaineer  Gas  Company and Subsidiaries
("Mountaineer")  to  a  subsidiary  of  Allegheny Energy, Inc. ("Allegheny") for
approximately $325.7 million, which included the assumption of $100.1 million of
debt  and  payment  of approximately $225.6 million to the Company.  The Company
realized an after-tax gain of $86.5 million on this transaction.  The use of the
net  proceeds  from the sale is subject to certain restrictions of the Company's
$200  million  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  (the  "Notes").

                                       -8-
<PAGE>

The  utility  operations  have historically been reported as a separate segment.
As a result of the sale, its disposition is considered, for accounting purposes,
to  be  a  discontinued  operation.  Accordingly,  amounts  in  the  financial
statements  and  related  notes  for all periods presented have been restated to
exclude  the  results  of  the  utility  operations.

The  Company  has  also  entered  into  a  gas  sale and purchase agreement with
Allegheny  whereby  the Company will begin the delivery of natural gas beginning
on  or  after  July  1, 2001.  The Company has received a $10 million prepayment
pursuant  to  the  agreement, which is recorded as long term deferred revenue on
the  balance  sheet.  Potentially,  the  Company  has  the  ability  to  receive
additional  prepayments  up  to  $20  million,  pending the ability to present a
letter  of  credit  equal  to  the  prepayment.


4.     Earnings  per  Share

A  reconciliation  of  the  components  of basic and diluted net loss per common
share  is  as  follows:

        common shareholders . . . . . . . . . . .  $(4,338,000)  666,968  $ (6.50)
</TABLE>

The  effect  of  outstanding  stock  options  during  the current period was not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would
have  been  antidilutive.

5.     Industry  Segments

The  Company's  reportable  business  segments have been identified based on the
differences  in products and service provided.  Revenues for the exploration and
production  segment  are derived from the production and sale of natural gas and
crude  oil.  Revenues  for  the  marketing  and  pipeline segment arise from the
marketing  of  both Company and third party produced natural gas volumes and the
related  transportation.  The  Company utilizes earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation,  depletion,  amortization  and  exploratory  costs  ("EBITDAX") to
evaluate  the  operations  of  each  segment.

</TABLE>

Operating  profit  (loss)  represents  revenues  less  costs  which are directly
associated  with  such  operations.  Revenues  are  priced  and  accounted  for
consistently  for  both unaffiliated and intersegment sales.  The 'Other' column
includes  corporate-related  items,  including  corporate  debt,  non-reportable
segments and elimination items.  Included in the total assets of the exploration
and  production segment are net long-lived assets located in New Zealand of $4.3
million  and  $3.0  million, as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively and
net long-lived assets located in Australia as of September 30, 2000 totaled $0.5
million.


6.     Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities

As  of  July  1,  2000,  the  Company  adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  ('SFAS")  No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities"  as  amended  by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138.  SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities.  It
requires  the recognition of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities
in  the  Company's  balance  sheet  and measurement of those instruments at fair
value.  The  accounting  treatment  of  changes  in fair value is dependent upon
whether  or  not a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge and if so, the
type  of hedge.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair
value  are  recognized  in  other  comprehensive income until the hedged item is
recognized  in  earnings.

The  Company periodically hedges a portion of its oil and gas production through
futures  and swap agreements.  The purpose of the hedges is to provide a measure
of stability in the volatile environment of oil and gas prices and to manage its
exposure  to  commodity price risk under existing sales commitments.  All of the
Company's  price  swap  agreements  in place are designated as cash flow hedges.
Adoption  of  SFAS  No. 133, resulted in recording a $3.4 million, ($2.2 million
net  of  tax)  decline  in fair value to accumulated other comprehensive income,
consisting of $3.8 million to short term derivative liabilities, $0.4 million to
long  term  derivative  liabilities  and  $0.8  million to short term derivative
assets.  The  estimated  net  amount  of  the  existing  losses  within  other
comprehensive  income  that are expected to be reclassified into earnings within
the  next  12  months is approximately $4.8 million.  The maximum length of time
over  which the entity has hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash
flows  is  13  months.

         -------     --------------------------------------------------
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       ----------------------------------


SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     This  discussion  and  analysis  of  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations,  and  other  sections  of  this  Form  10-Q, contain forward-looking
statements  that  are  based  on  management's  beliefs,  assumptions,  current
expectations,  estimates,  intentions  and  projections  about  the  oil and gas
industry,  the  economy  and  about  the  Company  itself.  Words  such  as
"anticipates,"  "believes,"  "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is
likely,"  "plans,"  "predicts," "projects," variations of such words and similar
expressions  are  intended to identify such forward-looking statements under the
Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995.  The Company cautions that
these  statements  are  not guarantees of future performance and involve certain
risks,  uncertainties  and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard
to  timing,  extent,  likelihood  and  degree  of occurrence.  Therefore, actual
results  and  outcomes  may  materially  differ  from  what  may be expressed or
forecasted  in  such  forward-looking  statements.  Furthermore,  the  Company
undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements,
whether  as  a  result  of  new  information,  future  events  or  otherwise.

     Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the  forward-looking  statements  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  weather
conditions, changes in production volumes, worldwide demand and commodity prices
for  petroleum natural resources, the timing and extent of the Company's success
in  discovering,  acquiring,  developing  and  producing  oil  and  natural  gas
reserves,  risks  incident  to the drilling and operation of oil and natural gas
wells, future production and development costs, foreign currency exchange rates,
the  effect  of  existing  and  future  laws,  governmental  regulations and the
political  and economic climate of the United States, Australia and New Zealand,
the  effect  of  hedging  activities,  and  conditions  in  the capital markets.


DISPOSAL  OF  UTILITY  OPERATIONS
---------------------------------

     On  August  18, 2000, the Company sold all of the stock of its wholly owned
natural  gas  distribution  company,  Mountaineer to Allegheny for approximately
$325.7  million,  which  included  the  assumption of $100.1 million of debt and
payment of approximately $225.6 million to the Company.  The Company realized an
after-tax  gain  of  $86.5  million  on  this  transaction.

                                       -12-
<PAGE>

     The  financial  statements  have been reclassified to exclude the operating
results  of this segment from continuing operations and for accounting purposes,
classify  such  results  as discontinued operations (see Note 3).  The following
discussion,  unless  otherwise  noted,  relates only to the Company's continuing
operations.


COMPARISON  OF  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000  AND  1999
---------------

     The  Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $1.8 million
for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 compared to a net loss from
continuing operations of $4.3 million for the same period in 1999.  The increase
in income of $2.5 million is attributed to the net of a $0.1 million increase in
revenue,  a $2.2 million decrease in operating expenses, a $0.8 million increase
in  other  non-operating  income  and  a  $0.6  million  decrease  in income tax
benefits.

REVENUES.  Total  revenues  increased  $0.1 million or 0.3% between the periods.
--------
The  net  increase  was  due  to  a 10.2% decrease in gas marketing and pipeline
sales, a 31.6% increase in oil and gas sales, a 10.9% decrease in well operation
and  service  revenue  and  a  100%  increase  in  other  operating  revenue.

     Revenues  from gas marketing and pipeline sales decreased $2.0 million from
$19.6 million during the period ended September 30, 1999 to $17.6 million during
the  period  ended  September  30,  2000.  The  decrease in revenue is primarily
attributable  to  a  49.5% decline in marketed gas volumes from 6.3 Mmbtu to 3.2
Mmbtu, which was partially offset by a 67.5% increase in the average sales price
per  Mmbtu  from $2.71 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $4.53 for the
quarter  ended September 30, 2000.  The decline in volumes for the quarter ended
September  30, 2000 was primarily attributable to the Company's decision to exit
the  end-user  market  and  not  renew  related  contracts  as  they  expired.

     Revenues  from  oil  and gas sales increased $1.8 million from $5.9 million
for  the  period  ended  September 30, 1999 to $7.7 million for the period ended
September  30,  2000.  The  increase  in  revenue is primarily attributable to a
57.3%  increase  in the average per barrel oil price from $17.25 to $27.15 and a
50.8%  increase  in  the  average  per Mcf gas price from $2.70 to $4.06 between
September  30,  1999  and  2000.  The  Company's production volume for the three
months  ended  September 30, 2000 was 2.1 Bcfe, an increase of 4% as compared to
2.0  Bcfe  produced  in  the three months ended September 30, 1999.  The decline
rate  for  mature  Appalachian  Basin  production  from  Devonian  formations is
approximately  7%  per  year.

Revenues  from  well  and  service  operations  decreased $0.2 million from $1.6
million  during  the  period ended September 30, 1999 to $1.4 million during the
period  ended  September  30,  2000.  The  decrease  in  revenue  is  primarily
attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  outside partnership interests in Company
operated  wells.

Revenues  from  other  operations  increased  from  zero during the period ended
September  30,  1999 to $0.4 million during the period ended September 30, 2000.
The  increase in revenue is due to a management contract with Allegheny, whereby
the  Company  provides  Mountaineer  with  management  services.

     COSTS  AND  EXPENSES.  The  Company's  costs  and  expenses  decreased $2.2
     --------------------
million  or  8.0%  between  the  periods.  The  net decrease was due to an 11.7%
decrease  in  gas marketing and pipeline costs, an 84.5% increase in taxes other
than  income  and  a  29.1% decrease in impairment and exploratory costs.  Field
operating  expenses,  general  and  administrative  expenses  and  depreciation,
depletion  and  amortization  costs  remained  relatively  constant  between the
periods.

                                       -13-
<PAGE>

     Gas  marketing  and  pipeline  costs  decreased $2.2 million primarily as a
result  of  a 49.5% decline in purchased gas volumes from 6.3 Mmbtu to 3.2 Mmbtu
from  September  30,  1999  to  September  30,  2000.  Partially offsetting this
decline  in  volume  was  a  65.1%  increase  in  the average price paid for gas
purchased,  from  $2.69  per  Mmbtu  to  $4.44  per  Mmbtu  between  periods.

Taxes other than income increased $0.3 million as a result of higher oil and gas
prices  and volumes.  The taxes are based on the wellhead price received and are
not  affected  by  hedging  activities.

     Exploratory and impairment expenses decreased $0.3 million primarily due to
decreased  Rocky  Mountain  drilling  activity.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense remained relatively constant, when comparing
----------------
the  periods  ended  September  30,  2000  to  September  30,  1999.


LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES
----------------------------------

     The  Company's  financial  condition  changed  significantly  during  the
three-month  period  ended  September 30, 2000 ("current period").  The ratio of
current  assets  to  current liabilities, excluding "net utility assets held for
sale"  of $56.8 million at June 30, 2000, increased from 0.75:1 at June 30, 2000
to  2.4:1  at  September  30,  2000.

     The  Company's  cash increased from $3.3 million at June 30, 2000 to $198.0
million  at  September  30, 2000.  The increase in cash during the quarter was a
result of the proceeds received from the sale of all of the stock of Mountaineer
on  August  18,  2000 of approximately $222.7 million.  This increase was offset
during  the  quarter  by  the  net  use of approximately $28 million of cash for
various  activities of the Company.  The activities were primarily comprised of;
the  investment  of  approximately $9.8 million in property, plant and equipment
and  other assets; the payment of approximately $14.9 million, net, in revolving
long-term  debt  and short-term debt; the payments of approximately $3.3 million
in  dividends to stockholders and approximately $0.3 million for the acquisition
of  treasury  stock;  offset by approximately $0.3 million of cash provided from
operations  during  the  quarter.

At September 30, 2000, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of
$198.0 million of cash, approximately $2.9 million to be received from Allegheny
pursuant  to  certain  adjustments  related  to the sale of Mountaineer, plus $2
million  available  under  a  short-term credit facility currently in place.  On
August  18,  2000,  the  Company paid in full the $19.8 million then outstanding
under  its  revolving  line of credit facility.  The Company also gave notice of
termination  of  the  revolving  credit facility, effective August 18, 2000.  At
September  30,  2000, the Company had no amounts drawn under the short-term line
of  credit  facility.

     Pursuant  to  the  terms  of the Company's $200 million Senior Subordinated
Notes (the "Notes") the Company has the option within 360 days of receipt of the
net proceeds from the sale of the stock of Mountaineer to apply such proceeds to
(a)  reduce  debt  senior  to  or  pari  passu  with the Notes (provided that in
connection  with  the  reduction  of  pari passu debt, a pro rata portion of the
Notes  is  redeemed);  (b)  acquire  a  controlling interest in another business
engaged  in  either  natural gas distribution or the exploration, development or
operation  of  oil,  gas or other hydrocarbon properties (an "Energy Business");
(c)  make  capital  expenditures  in  respect to the Company's or its restricted
subsidiaries'  Energy  Business; (d)  purchase long term assets that are used or
useful  in  the  Energy  Business;  or (e) repurchase the Notes.  If the Company
elects  not to apply all of the net proceeds in accordance with one of the above
options  within 360 days of receipt of such proceeds, then with respect to those
net  proceeds  which  were  not applied to one of the above options, the Company
must  make  an offer to the holders of the Notes, (and holders of the pari passu
debt,  to the extent required by the terms of the pari passu debt) to repurchase
the  maximum  principal  amount of the Notes and any pari passu debt at an offer
price  in  cash  equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid  interest  thereon  to  the  date  of  the  purchase.

                                       -14-
<PAGE>

  On November 9, 2000, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash
all  of  the  Notes  at  a purchase price of $750 per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes  plus  accrued  and unpaid interest.  The offer to purchase the Notes will
expire  on December 11, 2000.  If all of the Notes are tendered the Company will
utilize  $150  million  of cash to make the purchases.  In addition, the Company
would  expect  to  pay  an additional $20 million in income taxes on the gain on
this  transaction.  The  Company is not able to predict the amount of Notes that
will  be  tendered.

     To the extent that there are any net proceeds from the sale of the stock of
Mountaineer  remaining after completion of the tender offer, it is the intention
of  the  Company  to  seek  to  reinvest such remaining net proceeds into Energy
Business  assets.  A component of the Company's reinvestment strategy will be to
expand  its  exploration  and  development  activities,  both  domestically  and
internationally.  For  fiscal  year  2001,  the  Company  plans  to  invest
approximately  $42.4  million in capital projects.  The fiscal year 2001 capital
expenditure  program  contemplates  spending  approximately  $11.7 million on 27
gross  (25  net) recompletions and 73 gross (60.3 net) development wells as well
as  approximately $2.0 million on acquisitions of producing properties primarily
in  the  Appalachian Basin.  In addition, the Company's fiscal year 2001 capital
spending  program  contemplates  spending approximately $15.9 million (including
estimated  completion  costs)  on exploratory drilling projects.  These projects
include funding $12.1 million on domestic exploration drilling opportunities and
$3.8  million on international exploration drilling opportunities.  This funding
program  assumes  drilling  14  gross (5.9 net) domestic exploration wells and 8
gross (4.6 net) international exploration wells.  Other capital projects include
$5.1  million  for  seismic  studies  and  for  leasehold acquisitions plus $7.7
million  for  infrastructure  projects.  At  September 30, 2000, the Company had
expended  approximately $7.5 million of its fiscal year 2001 capital expenditure
program.

     In  addition  to  the  Company's  exploration  and  development  drilling
activities  associated  with this reinvestment program, the Company will seek to
satisfy  the  reinvestment  requirement  by  engaging in acquisitions of utility
assets  or  oil  and  natural  gas  reserves  and  properties.  There  can be no
assurance  that  the  Company will be able to acquire exploration or development
drilling opportunities or to identify acquisition candidates in the required 360
day  time  period.  Further,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  drilling
activities  associated  with  the  reinvestment  program will achieve commercial
success or that any future acquisitions made by the Company will achieve desired
profitability  objectives.

Other than the reinvestment program described above, the timing of the Company's
capital  expenditures  is  mostly  discretionary  with  no  material  capital
expenditure  commitments.  However,  the Company has designated certain projects
as  non-deferrable commitments incurred in the normal course of business.  These
include  certain  drilling  obligations,  primarily in New Zealand and Texas, of
less  than  $5  million,  at  September  30,  2000,  and the satisfaction of the
obligations resulting from the draw down of $10.0 million under the gas purchase
and  sale  agreement.  Consequently,  the  Company  has  a significant degree of
flexibility  to  adjust  its  level of its capital expenditures as circumstances
warrant.

     The  Company's  cash  requirements  will  fluctuate based on timing and the
extent  of  the  interplay of the factors discussed above.  Moreover, management
anticipates  that  although projected earnings from continuing operations before
interest  charges,  taxes,  depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization,  and
impairment  and exploratory costs ("EBITDAX") for fiscal year 2001 will increase
to  $25.4  million from $4.2 million for fiscal year 2000, such results will not
be sufficient to fully fund fiscal year 2001 projected interest charges of $20.1
million  and fund the Company's fiscal year 2001 capital expenditures program of

                                       -15-
<PAGE>

$42.4  million.  Based  on  such  estimates,  the  Company may utilize a certain
portion  of  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of the stock of Mountaineer to make
capital  expenditures,  subject  to  limitations  on  such investments under the
Notes,  if  any,  and  may  seek  to raise additional capital or incur permitted
indebtedness.  The  availability and attractiveness of such sources of financing
will depend upon a number of factors, some of which will relate to the financial
condition  and  performance of the Company, and some of which will be beyond the
Company's  control,  such  as  prevailing  interest  rates,  oil and gas prices,
weather patterns, credit agency rating reports and other market conditions.  The
Company's  liquidity is directly affected by such factors and the Company's cash
requirements  will fluctuate based on the timing and the extent of the interplay
of  these  factors.  However,  management  believes  that  cash  generated  from
continuing  oil and gas operations, the use of net proceeds from the sale of the
stock  of  Mountaineer  (as  permitted  under  provisions  of  the  related debt
agreements),  together  with  the  liquidity provided by existing cash balances,
permitted borrowings and by investments in new "Energy Business" assets, if any,
will be sufficient to satisfy commitments for capital expenditures, debt service
obligations,  working  capital  needs  and  other cash requirements for the next
year.

     The  Company  believes  that its existing capital resources, its mitigating
management  efforts, and its expected fiscal year 2001 results of operations and
cash  flows  from  operating  activities  will  be sufficient for the Company to
remain  in compliance with the requirements of its Notes.  However, since future
results  of  operations,  cash  flow  from  operating  activities,  debt service
capability,  and  levels  and  availability  of capital resources and continuing
liquidity  are  dependent on future weather patterns, maintaining current levels
of  oil  and  gas  commodity  sales  prices and production volume levels, future
exploration  and  development  drilling  success  and  successful  acquisition
transactions,  no  assurance  can be given that the Company will not continue to
report substantial net losses from continuing operations or that debt service or
debt  covenant  violations  will  not occur.  In such instances, the Company may
elect to increase permitted borrowing levels (see discussion above), restructure
debt  agreements  (including debt agreements with additional lenders), sell core
and  non-core  assets, defer discretionary capital expenditures, curtail certain
domestic  and international oil and gas programs or take other actions necessary
to  mitigate  liquidity short-falls and debt agreement violations or acquire new
or  additional  capital resources, although no assurances can be given that such
actions  will  be  successful.



              ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
              -------     -----------------------------------------
                                ABOUT MARKET RISK
                                -----------------

INTEREST  RATE  RISK
--------------------

Interest  rate risk is attributable to the Company's debt.  The Company utilizes
United  States  dollar  denominated  borrowings  to  fund  working  capital  and
investment needs.  There is inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature
and  are  renewed  at  current  market  rates.  The  extent  of this risk is not
predictable  because  of  the  variability  of  future  interest  rates  and the
Company's  future financing needs.  All of the Company's debt has fixed interest
rates.  The Company has not attempted to hedge the interest rate risk associated
with  its  debt.

COMMODITY  RISK
---------------

     The  Company's  operations  consist  primarily of exploring for, producing,
aggregating  and  selling natural gas and oil.  The Company attempts to mitigate
its  commodity  price risk by entering into a mix of short, medium and long-term
supply  contracts.  Contracts  to deliver gas at pre-established prices mitigate
the  risk  to  the  Company  of  falling  prices  but at the same time limit the
Company's  ability  to  benefit  from the effects of rising prices.  The Company
occasionally  uses  derivative  instruments  to  hedge its commodity price risk.
Notwithstanding  the  above,  the  Company's  future cash flows from gas and oil
production  are  exposed  to  significant volatility as commodity prices change.

                                       -16-
<PAGE>

The  Company  hedges a portion of its projected natural gas production through a
variety  of  financial and physical arrangements intended to support natural gas
prices at targeted levels and to manage its exposure to price fluctuations.  The
Company  may  use  futures  contracts,  swaps,  options and fixed price physical
contracts  to  hedge  its  commodity prices.  Realized gains and losses from the
Company's  price  risk management activities are recognized in oil and gas sales
when  the  associated  production  occurs.  Unrecognized  gains  and  losses are
included  as  a  component  of other comprehensive income.  The Company does not
hold  or  issue  derivative  instruments  for trading purposes.  The Company has
elected  to  enter  into  swap  transactions, covering approximately half of its
Appalachian  natural  gas.

FOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSLATION
------------------------------

     Some  transactions  are  denominated  in New Zealand or Australian dollars.
For  foreign  operations  with  the  local  currency as the functional currency,
assets  and  liabilities  are  translated  at the period end exchange rates, and
