PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

The Company

Mountains West Exploration, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the State of New Mexico on September 17, 1979.

The Company, is an independent  company engaged in the acquisition,  exploration
and development of coal bed methane leases located in Colorado.

For the past several years,  as resources have  permitted,  the Company has been
increasing its activities and gas production is rising, but it has yet to obtain
significant gas income. Management's time and the limited Company resources have
been used to maintain the properties held, to acquire additional  properties and
to participate to the extent possible in the development of its properties. (See
Properties).

Domestic Exploration and Production

The  Company  owns small  interests  in methane  gas wells in the Raton Basin in
Colorado. These wells are producing from coal bed.

The Company has approximately 4,740 gross net acres of oil and gas leases rights
in South Central Colorado,  located in the southwestern part of the Raton Basin.
Several  Companies  have now drilled and  completed  approximately  58 gas wells
around these leases.

                                       1

<PAGE>



The  Company  does  not  presently  have  the  resources  to  develope  these
properties,  therefore,  a decision will be made whether the properties  will be
held  until  such time that the  Company  has the  necessary  resources  for the
development or whether the properties will be leased or farmed out to others for
development.

Access to all domestic properties in which the Company owns any interest is
readily available from state and county highways and roads on a year round
basis.

Competitive Factors

The petroleum industry is volatile and highly competitive. Earnings from oil and
gas production are primarily dependent upon

                                       2
<PAGE>




prices of crude oil and natural gas. The costs and prices of crude oil, natural
gas and refined products have fluctuated substantially in recent years, often in
a divergent fashion. Competition exists in every aspect of oil and gas
operations, including the acquisition, exploration, discovery and development of
new oil and gas reserves, as well as purchasing, gathering, transporting,
refining and marketing of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products.

Many companies and  individuals  are engaged in the oil and gas business in both
the U.S.  and  foreign  markets.  Many such  companies  are very  large and well
established with substantial capabilities and long earnings records. The Company
has, and will continue, to encounter strong competition in acquiring oil and gas
leases,  licenses  and  concessions  from  these  and other  companies.  In most
instances  the Company is not able to compete  with these other more  adequately
capitalized  companies in meeting price,  exploration  and bonding  requirements
established by the land owners or foreign  governments.  The Company has, joined
with better capitalized  operators to participate in the discovery of commercial
quantities of methane gas.

The acquisition, exploration, development, production and sale of oil and gas
interests are subject to many factors which are outside the Company's control.
These factors include worldwide and United States economic conditions, oil
import and export quotas, availability of drilling rigs and pipelines, weather
conditions, supply and price of other fuels, and the regulation of production,
transportation and marketing by both domestic and foreign governmental agencies.
Foreign Governmental preferences for major international oil companies over
small independent companies may also have an adverse effect on the Company's
ability to compete with such major companies, even if it otherwise has the
capital to do so.

Environmental Regulations

On a worldwide basis, environmental laws and regulations vary greatly. In the
United States compliance with State and Federal laws may require significant
capital expenditure and will effect decisions regarding acquisition of certain
properties, methods of production and distribution of the oil and gas and the
Company's earning potential from any property. The managing partner of the PPL
56 Joint Venture has not informed the Partners in the Joint Venture of any
environmental laws, rules or regulations established by Papua New Guinea that
might be expected to have any unusual or adverse impact upon the operations of
the Joint Venture or the production of oil and gas from its license interests.

                                        3
<PAGE>




Governmental Regulations

In the United States,  the production of oil and gas is subject to regulation by
the  various  state  regulatory   authorities.   In  general,  these  regulatory
authorities  are empowered to make and enforce  regulations  to prevent waste of
oil and gas, and to fix  allowable  production  rates for oil and gas within the
limits of maximum rates of production and reasonable  market demands for oil and
gas. In addition,  the Company will be required to comply with spacing and other
conservation  rules of the various  states within which the Company owns oil and
gas leases upon which exploration  activities are conducted.  Also,  leases, the
Company will be required to comply with requirements established for exploration
and  development by the United States  Geological  Survey and the Bureau of Land
Management.

Natural gas production and prices are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and are subject to the Natural Gas Policy Act. New natural gas, some
onshore gas production and interstate gas were deregulated effective January 1,
1985.

The Company will also be subjected to varying taxes that are or may be
established on producers of oil and gas relating to prices received in excess of
certain established norms.

Personnel.

The Company has one full time employee, that being its President, Robert A.
Doak, Jr. The Company has retained the services of outside parties for legal,
accounting, drafting, geological, and lease acquisition services to the extent
that it has been able to afford such expenses.

Item 2. Description of Properties.

Offices.

The Company rents its offices at 134 West Main St., Ste 35, Trinidad,  CO 81082,
under a month-to-month  lease at a monthly rental of $500. The suite consists of
approximately  700 sq. feet, which Management  believes will be adequate for the
Company's need for the foreseeable  future.  Approximately one half of the space
is sublet to another party for a monthly rent of $245.

1. Gross well or acres is a well or acre in which a working  interest  is owned.
2. A net  well  or  acre is  deemed  to  exist  when  the sum or the  fractional
ownership  working  interests  in gross  wells or acres  equal one. As a working
interest holder, the Company,  along with other working interest holders,  pay a
pro rata share of 100% of production costs.

Undeveloped Properties

At December 31, 2003 the Company held approximately the following gross and net
undeveloped oil and gas acreage:

Reserves

The Company has not filed any reports  containing oil or gas reserves  estimates
with any Federal or foreign government or authority or agency within the past 12
months.  The  Company  has not  prepared  or had  prepared  for them any reserve
reports  related to the  properties  discussed  herein because the royalties and
working  interests  are so small as to not warrant  the cost of such  studies or
reports.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

There is one legal  proceedings  now  pending  on which the  company  is a class
member of Plaintiffs in a suit against  Evergreen  Operating over computation of
revenues  in  pooled  wells.  No  other  suits  are  pending,   threatened,   or
contemplated,  nor are there  unsatisfied  judgments  outstanding which have not
been  provided for in to which the Company or any of its officers or  directors,
in such capacity, are or may be a party.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth quarter of
the Company's fiscal year.

There currently is a limited public market for the Company's common stock in the
pink sheets,  and no assurance can be given that a market will develop or that a
shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment  without  considerable
delay, if at all. If a market should develop,  the price may be highly volatile.
Unless and until the Company's  common shares are quoted on the NASDAQ system or
listed on a national  securities  exchange,  it is likely that the common shares
will be  defined  as  "penny  stocks"  under  the  Exchange  Act  and SEC  rules
thereunder.  The Exchange Act and penny stock rules generally impose  additional
sales practice and disclosure  requirements upon  broker-dealers  who sell penny
stocks  to  persons  other  than  certain  "accredited   investors"  (generally,
institutions  with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals  with net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly
with spouse) or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer.

For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker-dealer must make a
suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement prior to the sale. In addition,  the  broker-dealer  must make certain
mandated  disclosures in penny stock transactions,  including the actual sale or
purchase  price and  actual bid and offer  quotations,  the  compensation  to be
received  by the  broker-dealer  and  certain  associated  persons,  and deliver
certain disclosures  required by the SEC. So long as the Company'scommon  shares
are considered "penny stocks",  many brokers will be reluctant or will refuse to
effect  transactions in the Company shares,  and many lending  institutions will
not permit the use of penny stocks as collateral for any loans.

Effective  August  11,  1993,  the  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission  (the
"Commission")  adopted Rule 15g-9,  which established the definition of a "penny
stock," for purposes relevant to the Company,  as any equity security that has a
market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a
penny  stock,  unless  exempt,  the rules  require:  (i) that a broker or dealer
approve a person's account for  transactions in penny stocks;  and (ii) that the
broker  or  dealer  receive  from  the  investor  a  written  agreement  to  the
transaction,  setting  forth the  identity and quantity of the penny stock to be
purchased.  In order to approve a person's  account  for  transactions  in penny
stocks,  the  broker  or  dealer  must  (i)  obtain  financial  information  and
investment  experience and objectives of the person;  and (ii) make a reasonable
determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person
and that person has sufficient  knowledge and experience in financial matters to
be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions  in penny stocks.  The broker
or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure  schedule  prepared  by the  Commission  relating  to the penny stock
market,  which,  in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker
or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) states that the broker or
dealer  received a signed,  written  agreement  from the  investor  prior to the
transaction.  Disclosure  also has to be made  about the risks of  investing  in
penny  stock in both  public  offerings  and in  secondary  trading,  and  about
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
current  quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies  available to
an  investor  in cases of fraud in penny stock  transactions.  Finally,  monthly
statements  have to be sent  disclosing  recent price  information for the penny
stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

The company had revenues  from gas  production of $86,854 in 2003 and $24,808 in
2002. The company incurred  operating expenses of $99,465 in 2003 and $26,785 in
2002. The substantial  increase in expenses in 2003 was due to higher consulting
fees over 2002. The largest components of expense were as follows.

                        2003                    2002
                        ----                    ----

Consulting              3,753                    7,771
Legal and Accounting    7,771                    3,652
Mineral rights          -                       17,441
Rent                    1,600                    2,363
Transfer Agent          4,000                    2,000
Travel                  3,797                    2,903

The net loss was ($16,483)  for 2003 and ($4,094) for 2002 even though  revenues
increased,  expenses also increased.  The net loss per share was nominal in each
year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the year, the company had increased revenue,  and a marginally  increased
cash position,  which was insufficient for any significant  operations expansion
The company had cash of $11,711 and illiquid assets of $16,000 approximately, at
year end.

The company's only capital  resources are its cash assets which may be illiquid,
and its common stock which might be sold to raise capital.

Changes in Financial Condition

Year to date  the  Company  experienced  an  increase  in cash  position  due to
increased revenue of the Company.  The Company's total debt increased by $28,260
during  the  year  as a result  of  expense  accruals.  The  Company's  total
liabilities are approximately $68,260 at year end.


NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING

     The Company does not have capital  sufficient  to meet the  Company's  cash
needs,   including  the  costs  of  compliance  with  the  continuing  reporting
requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will have to
seek  loans or equity  placements  to cover  such cash  needs.  Lack of
its  existing  capital  may  be a  sufficient  impediment  to  prevent  it  from
accomplishing  the  goal of  expanding its operations.  There  is no
assurance,  however,  that without funds it will ultimately  allow company to
carry out its business.

The  Company  will  need to raise  additional  funds  to  expand  its  business
activities in the next twelve months.

         No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management
or  other  stockholders.  Accordingly,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  any
additional  funds  will be  available  to the  Company  to allow it to cover its
expenses as they may be incurred.

         Irrespective   of  whether  the  Company's  cash  assets  prove  to  be
inadequate to meet the Company's  operational  needs,  the Company might seek to
compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.

GOING CONCERN

     The Company's auditor has issued a "going concern" qualification as part of
his opinion in the Audit Report. There is substantial doubt about the ability of
the  Company to  continue as a "going  concern."  The  Company has no  business,
limited capital, debt in excess of $68,260, $18,744 of which is current, $11,711
in cash, minimal other liquid assets, and no capital commitments. The effects of
such conditions could easily be to cause the Company's bankruptcy.

     Management  hopes  to  seek  and  obtain  funding,  via  loans  or  private
placements  of stock  for  operations,  debt  and to  provide  working  capital.
Management  has  plans to seek  capital  in the  form of loans or stock  private
placements in the next year of approximately $250,000.


Item 7. Financial Statements.

Item  8.  Changes  in and  Disagreements  With  Accountants  on  Accounting  and
Financial Disclosure.

No principal independent accountant resigned (or declined to stand for
re-election) or was dismissed during the Company's two most recent fiscal years
or any later interim period.

Item 8a. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Internal and Disclosure Controls
----------------------------------------------

     The  management  of the  company has  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the
issuer's disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to
the filing  date of the report  (evaluation  date) and have  concluded  that the
disclosure  controls and procedures are adequate and effective  based upon their
evaluation as of the evaluation date.

     There were no significant  changes in internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly  affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the
most recent evaluation of such,  including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Audit Committee
---------------
     The company does not have an Audit Committee.  The members of the Board sit
as the Audit Committee.  No qualified financial expert has bee hired because the
company is to small to afford such expense.

Code of Ethics
--------------
     The company has not adopted a Code of Ethics for the Board and the salaried
employees.

 Committees and Procedures
--------------------------

     (1)  The registrant  has no standing  audit,  nominating  and  compensation
          committees of the Board of Directors, or committees performing similar
          functions.  The Board  acts  itself in lieu of  committees  due to its
          small size.

     (2)  The view of the board of directors is that it is  appropriate  for the
          registrant  not  to  have  such  a  committee  because  all  directors
          participate in the consideration of director nominees and the board is
          so small.

     (3)  Each of the members of the Board which acts as nominating committee is
          not  independent,  pursuant to the  definition  of  independence  of a
          national  securities  exchange  registered pursuant to section 6(a) of
          the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(a).

     (4)  The   nominating   committee   has  no  policy   with  regard  to  the
          consideration  of any  director  candidates  recommended  by  security
          holders,   but  the  committee  will  consider   director   candidates
          recommended by security holders;

                                       12
<PAGE>

     (5)  The  basis  for  the  view  of  the  board  of  directors  that  it is
          appropriate  for the  registrant  not to have  such a  policy  is that
          there is no need to adopt a policy for a small company.

     (6)  The  nominating  committee  will consider  candidates  recommended  by
          security   holders,   and  by  security  holders  in  submitting  such
          recommendations; should provide a completed Directors Questionnaire to
          the company

     (7)  There are no  specific,  minimum  qualifications  that the  nominating
          committee  believes must be met by a nominee  recommended  by security
          holders except to find anyone willing to serve with clean  background.
          There  are no  differences  in the  manner  in  which  the  nominating
          committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee
          is recommended by a security holder, or found by the board.

     (8)  The  nominating  committee's  process for  identifying  and evaluation
          nominees for  director,  including  nominees  recommended  by security
          holders,  is to find  anyone  willing to serve with clean  background.
          There  are no  differences  in the  manner  in  which  the  nominating
          committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee
          is recommended by a security holder, or found by the board.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


Board of Directors
Mountain West Exploration, Inc.
Trinidad, CO  81082


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mountain West Exploration,
Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits 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 audit provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Mountain West Exploration, Inc.
as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4, conditions exist which
raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its
obligations and sustain its operations. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                         MOUNTAIN WEST EXPLORATION, INC.
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                December 31, 2003


Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
         ------------------------------------------------------------

Organization:

Mountain West Exploration, Inc. (MWEX) was incorporated in the state of New
Mexico. It is primarily organized for the purpose of acquiring interests in
undeveloped oil and gas and mineral leases, reselling all or part of its
interest in these leases to other companies in the oil and gas industry and
engaging in other oil and gas activities. The Company's fiscal year end is
December 31.

Basis of Accounting:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:
-------------------------

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share:

Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and
common shares equivalents outstanding during the period.

Furniture and Equipment:

Furniture and equipment are capitalized at acquisition cost and depreciated
utilizing the straight-line method over its estimated life of five years.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations as incurred.
Major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of the
property and equipment are capitalized.

                         MOUNTAIN WEST EXPLORATION, INC.
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                December 31, 2003


Oil and Gas Properties:

MWEX uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing
activities. Costs to acquire interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and
equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip
development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not
find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying
and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are
periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the
time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved
properties are amortized based on MWEX's experience of successful drilling and
average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties,
after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated
salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.

Other Comprehensive Income:

The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss), and
accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss in all periods.

Revenue Recognition on Sale of Oil and Gas Leases:

Sale of interests in undeveloped oil and gas leases are accounted for utilizing
the cost recovery method. Accordingly, the financial reporting, purposes, gain
on sales of interests in such leases is recognized only to the extent that total
proceeds of the sale exceed MWE's original cost in the leases. Gain is not
recognized on sales in which a substantial obligation for future performance
exists.

Note 2 - Federal Income Taxes:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 ("SFAS 109"). "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which requires a change from the deferred method to the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of
"temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to
future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.
