              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2006


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
------   ---------------------

         The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006,  and 2005,  have been
         prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
         the United States of America for interim financial information and with
         the  instructions  to Form  10-Q  and  Regulation  S-X.  The  financial
         information  as of December 31, 2005, is derived from the  registrant's
         Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain  information or
         footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
         in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
         United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The  preparation  of condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  in
         conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
         States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
         that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
         of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
         expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
         those  estimates.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  accompanying
         financial statements include all adjustments  necessary (which are of a
         normal and recurring  nature) for the fair  presentation of the results
         of the interim periods  presented.  While the registrant  believes that
         the  disclosures  presented are adequate to keep the  information  from
         being  misleading,  it is suggested that these  accompanying  financial
         statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  registrant's  audited
         consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December
         31,  2005,  included in the  registrant's  Form 10-K for the year ended
         December 31, 2005.

         Operating results for the three-month  period ended March 31, 2006, are
         not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
         remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying
         unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
         accounts of the registrant,  its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Rio Bravo
         Energy,  LLC, Sonora Pipeline,  LLC,  Arrecefe  Management,  LLC, Marea
         Associates,  LP, Reef  Ventures,  LP,  Reef  International,  LLC,  Reef
         Marketing,  LLC,  Terranova Energia S. de R. L. de C. V., and Esperanza
         Energy,  LLC. All significant  inter-company  accounts and transactions
         have been eliminated in consolidation.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2006


NOTE 2 - LITIGATION
------   ----------

         On January 6, 2003,  we were  served as a third  party  defendant  in a
         lawsuit titled  Northern  Natural Gas Company vs. Betty Lou Sheerin vs.
         Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation, ZG Gathering, Ltd. and Ken Lay, in the
         150th  Judicial  District  Court,  Bexar  County,  Texas,  Cause Number
         2002-C1-16421.  The  lawsuit  was  initiated  by  Northern  Natural Gas
         (Northern) when it sued Betty Lou Sheerin  (Sheerin) for her failure to
         make  payments  on a note  she  executed  payable  to  Northern  in the
         original  principal amount of $1,950,000.  Northern's suit was filed on
         November 13, 2002.  Sheerin answered  Northern's  lawsuit on January 6,
         2003.  Sheerin's answer generally denied  Northern's  claims and raised
         the  affirmative   defenses  of  fraudulent   inducement  by  Northern,
         estoppel,  waiver and the further  claim that the note does not comport
         with the legal requirements of a negotiable instrument. Sheerin seeks a
         judicial  ruling  that  Northern  be denied any  recovery  on the note.
         Sheerin's  answer  included  a  counterclaim   against   Northern,   ZG
         Gathering,  Ltd., and Ken Lay generally  alleging,  among other things,
         that Northern,  ZG Gathering,  Ltd ., and Ken Lay, fraudulently induced
         her  execution  of the note.  Northern  has  filed a general  denial of
         Sheerin's counterclaims.  Sheerin's answer included a third party cross
         claim against  Tidelands  Oil and Gas  Corporation  ("Tidelands").  She
         alleges that Tidelands entered into an agreement to purchase the Zavala
         Gathering  System from ZG Gathering,  Ltd.,  and that, as a part of the
         agreement,  Tidelands  agreed to satisfy all of the obligations due and
         owing to Northern, thereby relieving Sheerin of all obligations she had
         to Northern on the $1,950,000  promissory  note in question.  Tidelands
         and  Sheerin  agreed to delay the  Tidelands'  answer  date in order to
         allow  time  for  mediation  of the  case.  Tidelands  participated  in
         mediation  on March 11,  2003.  The case was not  settled at that time.
         Tidelands  answered  the  Sheerin  suit on March 26,  2003.  Tidelands'
         answer denies all of Sheerin's allegations.

         On May 24 and June 16, 2004, respectively,  Betty Lou Sheerin filed her
         first and second amended original answer, affirmative defenses, special
         exceptions and second  amended  original  counterclaim,  second amended
         original  third party  cross-actions  and requests for  disclosure.  In
         these amended  pleadings,  she sued Michael Ward,  Royis Ward, James B.
         Smith, Carl Hessel and Ahmed Karim in their individual capacities.  Her
         claims  against these  individuals  are for fraud,  breach of contract,
         breach of the Uniform Commercial Code, breach of duty of good faith and
         fair  dealing and  conversion.  Sheerin has now  non-suited  her claims
         against Michael Ward, Royis Ward, and James B. Smith.

NOTE 2 - LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
------   ----------------------

         In  September  2002,  as a  pre-closing  deposit to the purchase of the
         Zavala Gathering  System,  the Company  executed a $300,000  promissory
         note to Betty L. Sheerin, a partner of ZG Gathering,  Ltd. In addition,
         the  Company  issued  1,000,000  shares of its common  stock to various
         partners of ZG  Gathering,  Ltd. On December 3, 2003,  Sheerin  filed a
         separate lawsuit against Tidelands in the 150th District Court of Bexar
         County,  Texas on this  promissory  note  seeking  a  judgment  against
         Tidelands  for the  principle  amount of the note,  plus  interest.  On
         December 29, 2003, Tidelands answered this lawsuit denying liability on
         the note. On April 1, 2004,  Tidelands filed a plea in abatement asking
         the  court  to  dismiss  or abate  Sheerin's  lawsuit  on the  $300,000
         promissory  note as it was related to and its outcome was  dependent on
         the outcome of the Sheerin third party cross action  against  Tidelands
         in Cause Number 2002-C1-16421. The Company believes that the promissory
         note and  shares of common  stock  should be  cancelled  based upon the
         outcome of the litigation described above.  Accordingly,  our financial
         statements reflect this belief.

         On  September  15, 2004,  and again on October 15, 2004,  respectively,
         Sheerin  amended her  pleadings  to include a third and fourth  amended
         third  party  cross  action  against  Tidelands  adding a claim for the
         $300,000  promissory  note.  In these amended  pleadings,  Sheerin also
         deleted her claims  against Carl Hessel and Ahmed  Karim.  After adding
         the claim on the $300,000  promissory note to the third party claims of
         Sheerin against Tidelands in Cause No. 2002-C1-16421, Sheerin dismissed
         Cause Number 2002-C1-16421.

         Tidelands won a partial summary  judgment  against Sheerin as to all of
         her tort claims pled against Tidelands,  save and except only her claim
         for conversion of 500,000 shares of Tidelands' stock.

         Sheerin  seeks  damages  against  Tidelands  for indemnity for any sums
         found to be due from her to Northern  Natural Gas Company,  unspecified
         amounts of actual damages,  statutory damages,  unspecified  amounts of
         exemplary  damages,  attorneys fees, costs of suit, and prejudgment and
         post judgment interest.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
------   ----------------------

         On August 5,  2005,  Northern  Natural  Gas  Company  filed its  Fourth
         Amended Original Petition which, for the first time, named Tidelands as
         a  defendant  to  Northern.  Northern  seeks  to  impose  liability  on
         Tidelands  for  $1,950,000  promissory  note  signed  by  McDay  Energy
         Partners, Ltd. (the predecessor to ZG Gathering,  Ltd.) and Sheerin and
         the $1,700,000  promissory note signed by McDay only. Northern contends
         that Tidelands is alternatively  liable to Northern for payment of both
         such  promissory  notes  totaling   $3,709,914  plus  interest  because
         Northern is a third-party beneficiary under a December 3, 2001 purchase
         and sale agreement between ZG Gathering,  Ltd., and Tidelands  claiming
         that in such  agreement  Tidelands  agreed to assume  and  satisfy  all
         indebtedness  due and owing Northern by Sheerin and ZG Gathering,  Ltd.
         Northern  also claims that it is entitled to  foreclosure  of a lien on
         the gas  gathering  system  and  pipeline  that was the  subject of the
         promissory notes in question.

         On March 6,  2006,  Tidelands  won a summary  judgment  motion it filed
         against  Northern  and the court has now  dismissed  Northern's  claims
         against Tidelands.

         On November 28, 2005,  ZG  Gathering,  Ltd. and ZG Pipeline  Management
         ("ZG")  filed its answer to  Northern's  Fifth  Amended  Petition,  its
         counter-claim against Northern,  and its answer and cross claim against
         Tidelands.  ZG  contends  that  the  promissory  notes  given by ZG and
         Sheerin  to   Northern   were   procured   by   Northern's   fraudulent
         misrepresentations and it claims unspecified amounts of damages against
         Northern.  ZG's cross action  against  Tidelands  claims that Tidelands
         entered into an agreement to purchase the Zavala  Gathering System from
         ZG and that, as part of that agreement, Tidelands agreed to satisfy the
         $3,700,914 Northern indebtedness of ZG, and to defend,  indemnify,  and
         hold  ZG and  Sheerin  harmless  from  such  indebtedness  to pay off a
         Sheerin loan of $300,000,  and to issue 1 million  shares of Tidelands'
         stock, of which 500,000 was to be free-trading  shares.  ZG claims that
         Tidelands  breached  this  agreement by failing to satisfy the Northern
         indebtedness,  failing  to defend  and  indemnify  it from  such  debt,
         failing to pay off the $300,000 note, failing to issue the free-trading
         shares  in  Tidelands,  and by  placing  a stop  transfer  order on the
         restricted  stock  that was  issued  by  Tidelands.  ZG seeks  specific
         performance  of the  agreement,  recovery of an  unspecified  amount of
         damages, and its attorney's fees.

         Much of the  discovery  has  been  completed  at this  time.  Based  on
         investigation,  and  discovery  to date,  Tidelands  appears  to have a
         number of  potential  defenses to the claims of Sheerin  and  Northern.
         Tidelands intends to aggressively defend these lawsuits. The complexity
         of the issues in this case and the inherent uncertainties in litigation
         of this kind  prevent a more  definitive  evaluation  of the  extent of
         Tidelands' liability exposure.

NOTE 2 - LITIGATION (CONTINUED)
------   ----------------------

         During April and May, 2005, three separate legal actions were initiated
         against  Sonterra  Energy   Corporation   (Sonterra),   a  wholly-owned
         subsidiary of the Company.  Two of the actions  concern  claims made by
         developers  against Sonterra for their failure to pay rent and easement
         use fees as a  result  of  their  asset  purchase  from  Oneok  Propane
         Distribution  Company on November 1, 2004. The third action  involves a
         claim made by a builder that Sonterra  does not have a proper  easement
         for the current use of certain property.  The Company believes that the
         three actions  filed are without merit and intend to vigorously  defend
         itself.  Litigation  regarding  these three  actions are still in their
         early stages, therefore, potential financial impacts, if any, cannot be
         determined at this time.

         In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 5,
         "Accounting for  Contingencies,"  management has reached the conclusion
         that   there  is  a  remote   possibility   that  any  or  all  of  the
         aforementioned  claims would be upheld at trial and has also determined
         that  the  amount  of  the  claims  cannot  be  reasonably   estimated.
         Accordingly, the Company's financial statements reflect no accrual of a
         loss contingency with response to the above legal matters.


NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 5 - DEBT FINANCING
------   --------------

         On January 20,  2006,  the Company  completed  a private  placement  of
         $6,569,750 of convertible debt with seven institutional  investors. The
         net  proceeds  realized by the  Company  were  $4,964,410.  The Company
         issued  original  issue  discount  debentures  with a maturity  date of
         January 20, 2008, and a conversion  feature which permitted the holders
         to convert  into  common  stock of the  Company at a price of $0.87 per

         a conversion price of $1.275 per share, and an aggregate purchase total
         of 7,551,432 shares of common stock of the Company.

         In accordance with this private  placement,  the Company entered into a
         "Registration  Rights  Agreement"  with the investors,  whereby,  among
         other  terms and  conditions,  the Company  must  comply  with  various
         effective  dates and  periods  or, if in default  of said dates  and/or
         periods,  be subject to  liquidated  damages as  outlined in the master
         agreement.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operation

Business Overview

Our products and services are primarily  focused on development and operation of
transportation,  processing,  distribution  and storage projects for natural gas
and  natural  gas  liquids  in the  northeastern  states of  Mexico  (Chihuahua,
Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas) and the state of Texas in the United States
of America.  The Company has also begun a  feasibility  study for the  potential
development of an offshore LNG  regasification  terminal and connecting  natural
gas pipeline in the vicinity of Long Beach, California.

We derive our revenue from  transportation  fees from delivery of natural gas to
Conagas, the local distribution company in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, through the
pipeline owned by Reef Ventures, L.P.  Additionallly,  revenues are derived from
the provision of  construction  services for yard lines and meter sets installed
to a homeowner's  lot, and the sale of propane gas to  residential  customers in
Central Texas through the assets owned by Sonterra Energy Corporation.

Recent Developments

In the three  months  ended March 31,  2006,  several  significant  developments
occurred with respect to the businesses operated by the Company.

Financing Transaction

On January 20, 2006, the Company  entered into  Securities  Purchase  Agreements
with seven accredited investors(collectively,  "Purchasers or Holders"). We sold
$6,569,750 Dollars, in the aggregate principal amount, of discounted convertible
debentures("Debentures")  and Series A and Series B Warrants to purchase  common
stock  ("Warrants")  for an aggregate  payment of $5,396,098 after deduction for



                                      -13-
<PAGE>

the interest discount. The Company paid an 8% commission to the placement agent,
HPC Capital Management,  LLC., a registered  broker-dealer.  The Company granted
HPC Capital  Management  Series A Common Stock  Purchase  Warrants as additional
transaction  compensation.  The Company  received net proceeds of  $4,949,291.88
after deduction of legal costs,  commissions and interest discount. We intend to
use the proceeds for working capital.

The sale of these  securities  required the Company to increase  its  authorized
common stock capital because it had  insufficient  authorized  capital to comply
with all of the Debenture  conversion and Warrant exercise provisions  contained
in the Transaction  Documents.  We have reserved  9,000,000 common shares of our
unissued authorized common stock capital for the transaction. On April 17, 2006,
an amendment to the  articles of  incorporation  of the Company was approved via
written consent in lieu of a special meeting of the  shareholders of the Company
and on April 19,  2006,  the Company  amended its articles of  incorporation  by
increasing  its  authorized  common  stock  capital  from  One  Hundred  Million
(100,000,000)  shares,  par value $0.001 per share to Two Hundred  Fifty Million
(250,000,000)   shares,   par  value  $0.001  per  share,  thus  satisfying  the
requirements of the financing documents.

We have also agreed to file a registration  statement on Form SB-2 with the U.S.
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  to  register  the  common  stock
underlying the Debentures and Warrants.

We sold these  securities in an exempt  transaction  under the Securities Act of
1933,(the "Act") as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and Regulation D Rule 506.
These are restricted securities and may not be resold without registration under
the Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

The  Debentures  are Original  Issue  Discount  Convertible  Debentures  with an
aggregate face amount of $6,569,750.  The purchasers paid an aggregate principal
sum of  $5,396,098.  The face amount of the  Debentures is due January 20, 2008.
The  difference  between  the  face  amount  and the  aggregate  principal  paid
represents the interest expense. The Debenture Holder may convert all or part of
the Debenture  face amount into shares of Tidelands  common stock at any time at
an initial conversion rate of $0.87 per share.

The Purchasers have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their Debentures
or Exercise their Warrants and receive our shares such that the number of shares
of common stock held by each of them  individually  in the aggregate  after such
conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and  outstanding
Company common shares. This beneficial ownership limitation may be waived by the
Holder.

Subject to specific terms and  conditions in the Debenture,  the Company has the
option to force conversion of the Debentures into common shares if the Company's
share price as quoted on the Over-the-Counter  Electronic Bulletin Board exceeds
250% of the  then  Conversion  Price  for a  period  of time  based  on a Volume
Weighted  Average  Price (VWAP)  formula.  The VWAP share price must exceed this
250% price for at least 20 consecutive Trading Days.



                                      -14-
<PAGE>

The conversion price will be subject to adjustment for corporate events, such as
stock splits, stock dividends, and stock combinations, as more specifically
outlined in the transaction documents.

We granted the  Purchasers  Series A Common Stock  Purchase  Warrants  (Series A
Warrants) to purchase  2,491,974 shares of our common stock at $0.935 per share.
We also  granted  HPC  Capital  Management  65,697  Series A Common  Warrants to
purchase our common stock at $0.935 per share.

The  Series A  Warrants  may be  exercised  immediately  by the  Purchasers  and
terminate on January 20, 2009.

Subject to specific  terms and  conditions in the Series A Warrant  including an
effective  registration statement registering underlying shares, the Company has
the call option to force  conversion  of this Warrant into common  shares if the
Company's  share  price as quoted on the  Over-the-Counter  Electronic  Bulletin
Board  exceeds 250% of the then  effective  Exercise  Price for a period of time
based on a Volume Weighted  Average Price (VWAP)  formula.  The VWAP share price
must exceed this 250% threshold price for at least 20 consecutive Trading Days.

If at any time after one year from the date of  issuance  there is no  effective
registration statement  registering,  or no current prospectus available for the
resale of the  underlying  shares,  then this  Warrant may also be  exercised by
means of  "cashless  exercise"  as  determined  by a  formula  described  in the
Warrant.

The exercise price will be subject to adjustment for corporate  events,  such as
stock splits,  stock dividends,  and stock  combinations,  as more  specifically
outlined in the transaction documents.

We granted the  Purchasers  Series B Common Stock Purchase  Warrants  ("Series B
Warrants") to purchase 7,551,432 shares of our common stock at $1.275 per share.
The  Purchasers  have the right to exercise the Series B Warrants  commencing at
any time on, or after January 20, 2007 and on, or before February 19, 2007.

Subject to specific terms and  conditions in the Series B Warrant,  including an
effective  registration statement registering underlying shares, the Company has
the option to force the  exercise  of this  Warrant  into  common  shares if the
Company's  share  price as quoted on the  Over-the-Counter  Electronic  Bulletin
Board  exceeds 150% of the then  effective  Exercise  Price for a period of time
based on a Volume Weighted  Average Price (VWAP)  formula.  The VWAP share price
must exceed this 150% threshold price for at least 20 consecutive Trading Days.

If at any time after one year from the date of  issuance  there is no  effective
registration statement  registering,  or no current prospectus available for the
resale of the  underlying  shares,  then this  Warrant may also be  exercised by
means of  "cashless  exercise"  as  determined  by a  formula  described  in the
Warrant.

The exercise price will be subject to adjustment for corporate  events,  such as
stock splits,  stock dividends,  and stock  combinations,  as more  specifically
outlined in the transaction documents.

We have granted the Purchasers and HPC Capital Management registration rights on
the  shares  underlying  the  Debentures  and the  Warrants.  The  Common  Stock
underlying the  Debentures and Warrants will be registered  under the Securities
Act of 1933,  as amended,  for  re-offer and re-sale by the  Purchasers  and HPC
Capital Management. If the Company fails to timely file a registration statement
or is unable to have the registration  statement  declared  effective by the SEC
within the stated  periods of time,  we will trigger a default and be subject to
among other things,  acceleration of the Debentures, at the Purchasers' options,
additional  default  interest  payment  and  monetary  liquidated  damages.  The
liquidated damages will be capped at 20% of the Debentures face amounts.

Esperanza Energy LLC

Esperanza  Energy LLC  ("Esperanza")  was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company in March 2006 to evaluate the feasibility of developing an offshore,
deep-water  liquefied  natural gas (LNG) regas  terminal in the offshore  waters
near Long Beach,  California.  Esperanza would utilize TORP Technology's  HiLoad
LNG Regas unit which attaches to an LNG tanker, directly vaporizes the LNG as it
is offloaded and injects the  regasified  natural gas into an undersea  pipeline
for  transportation  of  the  natural  gas  to  onshore  metering  stations  and
transmission  pipelines to supply nearby gas markets.  The TORP HiLoad LNG Regas
unit  eliminates  the need for  extensive  above-ground  storage  tanks or large
marine structures required for berthing and processing of the LNG.

Esperanza  is  conducting  the  feasibility  study  for  this  project  with the
assistance of best-in-class LNG, environmental,  pipeline and legal experts that
include:

     o    David Maul, former Manager of the California Energy Commission Natural
          Gas Office,

     o    ENTRIX,   Inc.,  a  professional   environmental   consulting  company
          specializing  in  environmental  permitting  and  compliance for major
          offshore oil and gas projects in California and the United States,

     o    Project   Consulting   Services,   Inc.,  a  leader  in   engineering,
          construction,  management,  and  inspection  of onshore  and  offshore
          pipelines, and



                                      -16-
<PAGE>

     o    Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman,  LLP, an  interdisciplinary  law firm
          with  leading  practices in  environmental,  land use and energy legal
          advice and in project development and finance.

Active  consultations  continue  with  California  stakeholders  and  the  above
mentioned team regarding the optimal design and operational configuration of the
project.  A primary objective of the project  feasibility study is to design the
project  to  exceed   California   environmental,   public   health  and  safety
requirements.


Sonora Pipeline LLC and Terranova Energia, S. de R.L. de C.V.

The  cross-border gas pipeline and storage  development  activities of the above
entities to establish the Burgos Hub Export/Import project progressed forward in
two principal areas:

Permitting Activities -
Sonora Pipeline LLC continued its efforts to finish all activities  necessary to
move from NEPA pre-filing  status to a submission for  Certification for its two
International Pipeline U.S. segment, the Progreso International Pipeline and the
Mission  International  Pipeline.  Sonora  believes  it  has  filed  all  needed
revisions  to the Draft  Environmental  Report  for the  Progreso  International
Pipeline   with  FERC  for  purposes  of  the  NEPA   Environmental   Assessment
requirements.  This pipeline is the eastern leg of the U.S. pipelines which will
interconnect  with the  Tennessee Gas Pipeline  transmission  lines at the Alamo
Station and deliver natural gas to the Brasil Storage facility  approximately 17
miles  south  of  the  U.S./Mexico  border  at  Progreso,   Texas.  The  Mission
International  Pipeline segment was re-designed in the first quarter of 2006 due
to a routing conflict with a fiber optic line. It will be approximately 24 miles
long and will commence at the existing HPL  Valero-Gilmore  gas plant in Hidalgo
County,  Texas and extend southward to the Arguelles  crossing of the Rio Grande
River into  Mexico  near the city of  Mission,  Texas.  The  completion  of NEPA
pre-filing  activities  for the  Mission  segment  including  responses  to FERC
inquiries  and scoping of affected  stakeholders  is  anticipated  in the second
quarter  of 2006.  The  current  catalog  of FERC  correspondence  for  Sonora's
activities is located at www.ferc.gov under Docket No. PF05-15.

Terranova  Energia,  S. de R.L. de C.V.  ("Terranova")  continued its permitting
efforts with the Comision  Reguladora  de Energia  (CRE) in Mexico by submitting
several additional capex and opex revisions to its previous  submissions for the
Occidente  Pipeline  segment in response to comments from CRE staff and with the
assistance of its financial advisory firm, HSBC Securities USA. We submitted the
permit  application for the Terranova pipeline Occidente section to the CRE, the
Mexican energy  regulatory  entity, on March 18, 2005 and they were accepted for
full review on June 14, 2005.  Terranova  expects that barring further  requests





                                      -17-
<PAGE>

from CRE for information or revisions of existing  information from the Company,
final drafting of the CRE  resolution  for approval of the pipeline  permit will
occur in the next few weeks with approval of a final  resolution and issuance of
a pipeline permit after appropriate consideration by the CRE commissioners.

Additionally,  we submitted the storage  permit to the CRE on August 5, 2005 and
it was accepted for full review on October 14, 2005.  Several  unique  questions
are presented by the filing of this permit due to the proposed  location and the
lack of previous storage permit  applications having been considered by the CRE.
As a result,  management has no reliable  estimate  concerning  when this permit
application will be presented for decision by staff to the CRE Commissioners.

Commercial Activities -
The Company continues to present the pipeline and storage segments of the Burgos
Hub  Export/Import  project to commercial  audiences in efforts to solicit their
interest and  participation  in the project at various  levels.  There have been
numerous  introductory  meetings  with  staff  of  the  CFE  and  the  Monterrey
industrial consumers of natural gas with a view toward clarifying their need and
usage of the proposed project facilities. Future efforts will concentrate on the
development and negotiation of precedent  agreements for capacity reservation of
the project  facilities.  Preliminary  evaluation of demand for storage capacity
reservation   based  upon  direct  discussion  with  the  various  customers  is
conservatively  estimated  at 40 Bcf  for  the  market  area  influenced  by the
project. Similarly,  several discussions continue with interested parties in the
U.S. and Mexico regarding the execution of a joint development agreement between
Terranova  and their firms for the  funding,  development  and  ownership of the
project.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

We have included  forward-looking  statements in this report.  For this purpose,
any  statements  contained in this report that are not  statements of historical
fact may be  deemed to be  forward  looking  statements.  Without  limiting  the
foregoing,  words  such as "may",  "will",  "expect",  "believe",  "anticipate",
"estimate",  "plan" or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or
comparable  terminology  are  intended to identify  forward-looking  statements.
These statements by their nature involve  substantial  risks and  uncertainties,
and actual  results  may differ  materially  depending  on a variety of factors.
Factors that might cause  forward-looking  statements to differ  materially from
actual  results  include,  among other  things,  overall  economic  and business
conditions,  demand  for the  Company's  products,  competitive  factors  in the

and cost and timing,  impact and other  uncertainties of our future  acquisition
plans.

Results of Operations





                                      -18-
<PAGE>

REVENUES:  The Company reported  revenues of $801,894 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 as compared with revenues from continuing  operations of $628,075
for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  The revenue  increase  resulted from
increasing  revenues of Sonterra Energy  Corporation due to an increase in total
customers served and product prices in the first three months of 2006 versus the
first three months of 2005.

TOTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES:  Total costs and expenses from  continuing  operations
decreased  from  $7,231,935  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2005 to
$2,531,162 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 . The principal  reason for
this  amount of  decrease  was the lack of  expense  for  Beneficial  Conversion
Feature  Interest  in the three  months  ended  March 31,  2006 versus the three
months ended March 31, 2005.

COST OF SALES:  Total Cost of Sales increased from $284,679 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 to $376,866 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This
increase  resulted from the increased  volume of propane sold by Sonterra Energy
Corporation in the three months ended March 31, 2006 versus March 31, 2005.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses from continuing operations increased from
$66,774  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2005 to $84,531  for the three
months  ended March 31, 2006.  This  increase was  primarily  due to  additional
operating expenses incurred by Sonterra Energy Corporation in its operations for
the period  which were not  present in the  comparative  three  months for 2005.
Depreciation  expense  remained  basically  flat for the first  quarter  of 2006
versus the first quarter of 2005,  increasing from $115,441 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 to $115,764 for the three  months  ended  December 31, 2006
and reflecting no significant increase or decrease in depreciable assets for the
respective periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE:  Interest expense decreased from $209,787 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 to $111,059  for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as a
result  of the  reduction  of the  principal  amount  of the note owed to Impact
International LLC by $2,512,500 after the end of the first three months of 2005.
No expense for Beneficial Conversion Feature Interest was recorded for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $4,736,843 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 (as restated). The market price for the Company's common stock at
the relevant  measurement dates during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was
less than the conversion price for the debentures issued on January 20, 2006.

Accordingly,  there was no benefit to the holders of the debentures in the event
of conversion during those periods and no beneficial  conversion interest charge
was recorded.

SALES,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE:  Sales,  General & Administrative

Expenses increased marginally by $24,531 during the three months ended March 31,
2006 to a total amount of $1,842,942 as compared $1,818,411 for the three months



                                      -19-
<PAGE>

ended March 31, 2005. The majority of this increase was due to the operations of
a new subsidiary,  Esperanza  Energy LLC during the three months ended March 31,
2006.

DERIVATIVE LOSS: Loss from embedded derivative instrument  liabilities decreased
from  ($4,736,843)  for the three months  ended March 31, 2005 (as  restated) to
zero for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2006.  The  warrants  issued  in
connection  with the January 20, 2006  financing had an exercise  price that was
greater the fair market  value of the  Company's  common  stock at the  relevant
measurement  dates.  Accordingly,  no  derivative  loss  and  liability  for the
issuance of the warrants in this financing transaction was recorded.

NET LOSS: Net loss of ($9,465,535) for the three months ended March 31, 2005 (as
restated) decreased to ($1,695,648) for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a
decrease  in the amount of loss of  $7,769,887.  The  principal  reason for this
amount  of  decline  in net loss  was the  absence  of  charges  for  Beneficial
Conversion  Interest and Derivative Loss charges from issuance of debentures and
warrants in the three  months ended March 31, 2006 versus the three months ended
March 31,  2005.Included  in the net loss of  ($1,695,648)  for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 is $869,500 of expenses for  employment  contract costs and
legal fees paid by issuance of common stock.

LIQUIDITY  AND CAPITAL  RESOURCES:  With  regard to  liquidity  and  adequacy of
capital  resources,   management  believes  that  adequate  liquidity  and  cash
resources exist to sustain current corporate activities for the remainder of the
fiscal year.  However, in the event that a decision to proceed with the offshore
LNG regas  terminal  project in Southern  California is made during the upcoming
months,  additional  funding for the permit  process will be needed.  Management
will evaluate the required budget and funding alternatives for such an effort as
an integral  part of the project  feasibility  study  underway.  Direct  capital
expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $637,301.  The
capital expenditures were composed of increased pre-construction costs regarding
potential  international  pipeline  crossings and storage  facilities in Mexico,
pre-construction   costs   regarding   an  offshore  LNG  terminal  in  Southern
California, and additional machinery,  equipment, trucks, autos and trailers for
the operation of the Sonterra Energy  Corporation  propane  systems.  Total debt
increased  from  $5,722,322  at December 31, 2005 to $  11,946,450  at March 31,
2006.  The increase in total debt is due primarily to the issuance of $6,569,750
of convertible  debentures in the financing transaction of January 20, 2006. Net
loss for the three  months ended March 31, 2006 was  ($1,695,648)  a decrease in
net loss of 82% from the net loss of  ($9,465,535)  for the three  months  ended
March 31, 2005.  Basic and diluted net loss per common share  decreased 86.7% to
($0.02). The net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31,
2006 included an increase in actual and equivalent shares outstanding.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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



                                      -20-
<PAGE>

We have historically invested our cash and cash equivalents in short-term, fixed
rate, highly rated and highly liquid  instruments which are reinvested when they
mature throughout the year. Although our existing investments are not considered
at risk  with  respect  to  changes  in  interest  rates or  markets  for  these
instruments,  our rate of return on short-term  investments could be affected at
the time of  reinvestment  as a result of  intervening  events.  As of March 31,
2006, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregated $5,051,285.

The  Company  does  not  issue  or  invest  in  financial  instruments  or their
derivatives for trading or speculative  purposes.  The operations of the Company
are conducted  primarily in the United States,  and, are not subject to material
foreign  currency  exchange risk.  Although the Company has outstanding debt and
related  interest  expense,  market risk of interest rate exposure in the United
States is currently not material.

Debt

The  interest  rate on our Impact  International  debt  obligation  is generally
determined  based on the prime interest rate plus two percent and may be subject
to market fluctuation as the prime rate changes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures.

As of the end of the  reporting  period,  March  31,  2006,  we  carried  out an
evaluation,  under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including  the  Company's   Chairman  and  Chief   Executive   Officer/Principal
Accounting  Officer,  of the  effectiveness  of the design and  operation of our
disclosure  controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934  (the  "Exchange  Act"),  which  disclosure  controls  and
procedures are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by a
company  in the  reports  that it files  under  the  Exchange  Act is  recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified by the
SEC's rules and forms.

Based on this  evaluation and as a result of comments  received in December 2005
from the SEC Staff  pertaining to our 2004 and 2005  financial  statements,  the
Company determined that its disclosure  controls were not effective because some
accounting entries relating to debt and equity instruments required adjustment.

These  adjustments  required  restatements  to our December  31, 2004  financial
statements  and our quarterly  reports for the periods  ending March 31, June 30
and September 30, 2005, as disclosed in our Current  Report on Form 8-K filed on
April 17, 2006 and described under Footnote 2 to our December 31, 2005 financial
statements contained herein.



                                      -21-
<PAGE>

Our  disclosure  controls and  procedures  were not  effective  because  company
employees  and  accountants  lacked  accounting  knowledge and  experience  with
complex financial instruments.

To remedy this  situation,  during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company
increased its accounting staff, engaged an outside accountant as a consultant to
supplement its technical resources and to provide technical support and guidance
on accounting  issues within the company.  We are providing  additional  outside
professional  educational  courses,  seminars  and  training  for members of our
accounting staff.

We believe that these remedial measures which we are  implementing,  will permit
us to conclude, as we move forward during fiscal year 2006, that our "disclosure
controls  and  procedures"  (as  such  term is  defined  in Rules  13a-15(e)  or
15d-15(e)  of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended (the  "Exchange
Act") will be effective to provide reasonable  assurance that information we are
required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  rules and forms.  There has been no
other change in our internal  controls over  financial  reporting  identified in
connection  with that evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this
report that has  materially  affected,  or is  reasonably  likely to  materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(b) Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were changes in our internal  control over financial  reporting during the
last fiscal year and/or up to and including  the date of this filing  (except as
disclosed in (a) above) that we believe materially  affected,  or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Limitations.

Our  management,   including  our  Principal  Executive  Officer  and  Principal
Financial  Officer,  does not expect  that our  disclosure  controls or internal
controls over  financial  reporting  will prevent all errors or all instances of
fraud.  However,  we believe that our  disclosure  controls and  procedures  are
designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving this objective.  A control
system,  no matter how well designed and operated,  can provide only reasonable,
not  absolute,  assurance  that the  control  system's  objectives  will be met.
Further,  the design of a control  system  must  reflect the fact that there are
resource  constraints,  and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs.  Because of the inherent  limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide  absolute  assurance  that all control issues
and instances of fraud,  if any,  within our company have been  detected.  These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty,  and that  breakdowns  can occur  because of simple error or mistake.
Controls can also be  circumvented  by the individual  acts of some persons,  by
collusion of two or more people,  or by management override of the controls. The



                                      -22-
<PAGE>

design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all  potential  future  conditions.  Over time,  controls may
become  inadequate  because of changes in  conditions  or  deterioration  in the
degree of  compliance  with  policies  or  procedures.  Because of the  inherent
limitation of a  cost-effective  control system,  misstatements  due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

Matter No. 1:

On January 6,  2003,  we were  served as a third  party  defendant  in a lawsuit
titled  Northern  Natural Gas Company vs. Betty Lou Sheerin vs.  Tidelands Oil &
Gas Corporation,  ZG Gathering, Ltd. and Ken Lay, in the 150th Judicial District
Court,  Bexar  County,  Texas,  Cause  Number  2002-C1-16421.  The  lawsuit  was
initiated by Northern Natural Gas when it sued Betty Lou Sheerin for her failure
to make  payments on a note she  executed  payable to  Northern in the  original
principal amount of $1,950,000.  Northern's suit was filed on November 13, 2002.
Sheerin  answered  Northern's  lawsuit  on January  6,  2003.  Sheerin's  answer
generally  denied  Northern's  claims  and raised the  affirmative  defenses  of
fraudulent inducement by Northern,  estoppel,  waiver and the further claim that
the  note  does  not  comport  with  the  legal  requirements  of  a  negotiable
instrument. Sheerin seeks a judicial ruling that Northern be denied any recovery
on the note.  Sheerin's  answer  included a counterclaim  against  Northern,  ZG
Gathering, and Ken Lay generally alleging, among other things, that Northern, ZG
Gathering,  Ltd. and Ken Lay,  fraudulently  induced her  execution of the note.
Northern has filed a general denial of Sheerin's counterclaims. Sheerin's answer
included a third party cross claim against Tidelands. She alleges that Tidelands
entered  into an  agreement  to  purchase  the Zavala  Gathering  System from ZG
Gathering Ltd. and that, as a part of the agreement, Tidelands agreed to satisfy
all of the obligations due and owing to Northern,  thereby  relieving Sheerin of
all  obligations  she  had to  Northern  on the  $1,950,000  promissory  note in
question.  Tidelands and Sheerin agreed to delay the  Tidelands'  answer date in
order to  allow  time for  mediation  of the  case.  Tidelands  participated  in
mediation  on March 11, 2003.  The case was not settled at that time.  Tidelands
answered  the Sheerin suit on March 26, 2003.  Tidelands'  answer  denies all of
Sheerin's allegations.

On May 24 and June 16, 2004 respectively,  Betty Lou Sheerin filed her first and
second amended original answer,  affirmative  defenses,  special  exceptions and
second  amended  original  counterclaim,  second  amended  original  third party
cross-actions and requests for disclosure.  In these amended pleadings, she sued
Michael Ward, Royis Ward, James B. Smith,  Carl Hessell and Ahmed Karim in their
individual  capacities.  Her claims  against  these  individuals  are for fraud,
breach of contract,  breach of the Uniform  Commercial  Code,  breach of duty of
good faith and fair  dealing  and  conversion.  Sheerin has now  non-suited  her
claims against Michael Ward, Royis Ward, and James B. Smith.



                                      -23-
<PAGE>

In  September  2002,  as a  pre-closing  deposit to the  purchase  of the Zavala
Gathering  System,  the Company executed a $300,000  promissory note to Betty L.
Sheerin,  a partner of ZG  Gathering,  Ltd.  In  addition,  the  Company  issued
1,000,000 shares of its common stock to various  partners of ZG Gathering,  Ltd.
On December 3, 2003,  Sheerin filed a separate lawsuit against  Tidelands in the
150th District Court of Bexar County,  Texas on this  promissory  note seeking a
judgment against  Tidelands for the principle amount of the note, plus interest.
On December 29th, 2003, Tidelands answered this lawsuit denying liability on the
note. On April 1, 2004,  Tidelands filed a plea in abatement asking the court to
dismiss or abate  Sheerin's  lawsuit on the $300,000  promissory  note as it was
related to and its outcome  was  dependent  on the outcome of the Sheerin  third
party cross action against Tidelands in Cause Number 2002-C1-16421.  The company
believes that the promissory note and shares of common stock should be cancelled
based upon the  outcome of the  litigation  described  above.  Accordingly,  our
financial statements reflect this belief.

On  September  15,  2004 and again on October  15,  2004  respectively,  Sheerin
amended her  pleadings to include a third and fourth  amended  third party cross
action against  Tidelands  adding a claim for the $300,000  promissory  note. In
these amended  pleadings,  Sheerin also deleted her claims  against Carl Hessell
and Ahmed Karim.  After adding the claim on the $300,000  promissory note to the
third party  claims of Sheerin  against  Tidelands  in Cause No.  2002-C1-16421,
Sheerin dismissed Cause Number 2002-C1-16421.

Tidelands won a partial summary  judgment  against Sheerin as to all of her tort
claims pled against Tidelands,  save and except only her claim for conversion of
500,000 shares of Tidelands stock.

Sheerin seeks damages  against  Tidelands for indemnity for any sums found to be
due from her to Northern  Natural  Gas  Company,  unspecified  amounts of actual
damages, statutory damages,  unspecified amounts of exemplary damages, attorneys
fees, costs of suit, and prejudgment and post judgment interest.

On August 5,  2005,  Northern  Natural  Gas  Company  filed its  Fourth  Amended
Original  Petition which,  for the first time, named Tidelands as a defendant to
Northern.  Northern  seeks to  impose  liability  on  Tidelands  for  $1,950.000
promissory  note signed by McDay Energy  Partners,  Ltd. (the  predecessor to ZG
Gathering,  Ltd.) and Sheerin and the $1,700,000 promissory note signed by McDay
only.  Northern contends that Tidelands is alternatively  liable to Northern for
payment of both such promissory notes totaling  $3,709,914 plus interest because
Northern is a third party beneficiary under a December 3, 2001 purchase and sale
agreement  between ZG and Tidelands  claiming that in such  agreement  Tidelands
agreed to assume and satisfy all  indebtedness due and owing Northern by Sheerin
and ZG. Northern also claims that it is entitled to foreclosure of a lien on the
gas gathering  system and pipeline that was the subject of the promissory  notes
in question.



                                      -24-
<PAGE>

Tidelands has won a summary  judgment  motion it filed against  Northern and the
court has now dismissed Northern's claims against Tidelands.

On November 28, 2005, ZG Gathering, Ltd. and ZG Pipeline Management ("ZG") filed
its answer to  Northern's  Fifth Amended  Petition,  its  counter-claim  against
Northern, and its answer and cross claim against Tidelands. ZG contends that the
promissory notes given by ZG and Sheerin to Northern were procured by Northern's
fraudulent  misrepresentations  and it claims  unspecified  amounts  of  damages
against  Northern.  ZG's cross action against Tidelands claims Tidelands entered
into an agreement to purchase the Zavala  Gathering  System from ZG and that, as
part of that  agreement,  Tidelands  agreed to satisfy the  $3,700,914  Northern
indebtedness of ZG, and to defend,  indemnify,  and hold ZG and Sheerin harmless
from such  indebtedness,  to pay off a Sheerin loan of $300,000,  and to issue 1
million  shares of  Tidelands  stock,  of which  500,000 was to be free  trading
shares.  ZG claims that Tidelands  breached this agreement by failing to satisfy
the Northern  indebtedness,  failing to defend and  indemnify it from such debt,
failing to pay off the $300,000  note,  failing to issue the free trading shares
in Tidelands,  and by placing a stop transfer order on the restricted stock that
was  issued  by  Tidelands.  ZG seeks  specific  performance  of the  agreement,
recovery of an unspecified amount of damages, and its attorney's fees.

Much of the discovery has been completed at this time.  Based on  investigation,
and discovery to date,  Tidelands appears to have a number of potential defenses
to the claims of Sheerin and Northern. Tideland's intends to aggressively defend
these  lawsuits.  The  complexity  of the  issues in this case and the  inherent
uncertainties in litigation of this kind prevent a more definitive evaluation of
the extent of Tidelands' liability exposure.

Matter No. 2:

On May 4, 2005, HBH  Development  Company,  LLC ("HBH")  initiated  legal action
against  Sonterra  Energy  Corporation  in the District  Court of Travis County,
Texas, 98th Judicial District,  Cause No. GN 501626 HBH Development Co., LLC vs.
Sonterra  Energy Corp. This action involves the developer of the Austin's Colony
Subdivision  in  Travis  County,  Texas  and  the  propane  distribution  system
originally constructed by Southern Union Company.  Southern Union entered into a
letter agreement with HBH concerning the construction and operation of a propane
distribution  system in the  subdivision  to be owned and  operated  by Southern
Union.  Southern  Union  assigned the letter  agreement and its interests in the
propane  system to Oneok,  Inc.,  the parent  company of Oneok Propane  Company.
Sonterra  acquired  its  interest  in the  propane  system  from  Oneok  Propane
Distribution Company. HBH is claiming that Sonterra has failed or refused to pay
HBH rent and  easement  use fees  under the terms of the letter  agreement.  HBH
alleges that  Sonterra's  actions cause a failure of the  assignment  whereby it
acquired  rights in the propane  system or  alternatively,  if the assignment is
effective,  for  breach  of  contract.  HBH  seeks to have the  court  terminate
Sonterra's rights in the propane distribution system, award unspecified monetary
damages,  cancellation  of the contract and rights  associated  with the propane
distribution system, issue to HBH a writ of possession for the property, and for
attorneys  fees. HBH has amended its complaint  adding claims for mutual mistake
and reformation as to the letter  agreement and a developer's  bonus under terms
of the letter agreement.



                                      -25-
<PAGE>

Sonterra is defending the legal action.  It believes that under the terms of the
letter  agreement  between HBH  Development  Company and Southern Union Company,
that the easement use fees  terminated when Southern Union conveyed its interest
in the propane distribution system to Oneok Propane Company.

Matter No. 3:

On May 4, 2005, Senna Hills, Ltd. initiated legal action against Sonterra Energy
Corporation  in the  District  Court of  Travis  County,  Texas,  53rd  Judicial
District  Cause No. GN 501625 Senna Hills,  Ltd. vs Sonterra  Energy Corp.  This
action  involves the developer of the Senna Hills  Subdivision in Travis County,
Texas and the propane  distribution  system  originally  constructed by Southern
Union Company.  Southern Union entered into a letter  agreement with Senna Hills
concerning the  construction and operation of a propane  distribution  system in
the  subdivision  to be owned and  operated by Southern  Union.  Southern  Union
assigned the letter  agreement and its interests in the propane system to Oneok,
Inc.,  the parent  company  of Oneok  Propane  Company.  Sonterra  acquired  its
interest in the propane system from Oneok Propane  Distribution  Company.  Senna
Hills is claiming  that  Sonterra  has failed or refused to pay Senna Hills rent
and  easement  use fees under the terms of the  letter  agreement.  Senna  Hills
alleges that  Sonterra's  actions cause a failure of the  assignment  whereby it
acquired  rights in the propane  system or  alternatively,  if the assignment is
effective, for breach of contract. Senna Hills seeks to have the court terminate
Sonterra's rights in the propane distribution system, award unspecified monetary
damages, and cancellation of the contract and rights associated with the propane
distribution system, issue to Senna Hills a writ of possession for the property,
and attorneys fees.

Senna Hills sold certain  undeveloped  sections of Senna Hills  Subdivision to a
new owner.  Sonterra  believes that it has the right to expand its  distribution
system into such  undeveloped  sections of the  subdivision.  Sonterra  plans to
expand the  distribution  system into these sections under an agreement with the
new owner. Senna Hills has stated that although it is not presently objecting to
Sonterra's  expansion of the system at this time, it is reserving its claim that
Sonterra  does not have the right to do so and that it  intends to ask the court
to cancel  Sonterra's  right to use and  possession of the propane  distribution
system, including the system in the new sections of the subdivision. Senna Hills
has amended its complaint adding claims for mutual mistake and reformation as to
the  letter  agreement  and a  developer's  bonus  under  terms  of  the  letter
agreement.

Sonterra is defending the legal action.  It believes that under the terms of the
letter  agreement  between  Senna Hills and  Southern  Union  Company,  that the
easement use fees  terminated  when Southern  Union conveyed its interest in the
propane distribution system to Oneok Propane Company.

Matter No. 4:

<PAGE>

On April 7, 2005, Goodson Builders,  Ltd. named Sonterra Energy Corporation in a
legal action titled, Goodson Builders,  Ltd, Plaintiff vs. Jim Blackwell and BNC
Engineering,  LLC,  Defendants.  The legal  action is in the  District  Court of
Travis County,  Texas 345th Judicial  District.  This legal action arises from a
claim that an  underground  propane  storage tank and  underground  distribution
lines is situated on the  Plaintiff's  lot in the Hills of Lakeway  subdivision,
Travis  County,  Texas.  Plaintiff  alleges  that there is no recorded  easement
setting forth the rights and  obligations  of the parties for use of the propane
tank and lines. However,  there is reference to a "suburban propane easement" on
the plat  document.  Plaintiff  alleges  that the property is being used without
permission  and the use  constitutes  an on-going  trespass.  Plaintiff asks the
court to determine that his lot is not subject to a "suburban propane easement",
declare the propane  equipment the property of plaintiff,  enjoin  Sonterra from
use of  Plaintiff's  land,  and award  damages.  The Plaintiff  seeks damages of
$165,000 based on a market rental rate he claims to be $5,000 per month, $50,000
damages  for  depreciation  of the value of the lot,  an  unspecified  amount of
exemplary damages, and attorneys' fees. Sonterra is defending the claims.
