PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business

Overview

ERHC is an independent oil and gas company and since 1996 has engaged in the exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas
properties. The Company's goal is to maximize its value through profitable growth in oil and gas reserves and production in the Gulf of Guinea offshore central West Africa and to acquire interests in
non-producing oil and gas properties, particularly high potential international prospects in known oil producing areas. The Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is
an agreement with the government of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome & Principe ("DRSTP") concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea off
the coast of central West Africa, and in a Joint Development Zone ("JDZ") between Sao Tome and the Federal Republic of Nigeria ("FRN"). The Company intends to explore forming relationships with other
oil and gas companies having technical and financial capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. The Company currently has no other operations.

On
February 15, 2001, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2000, as amended by a First Amendment dated January 31, 2001 (as amended, the "Purchase
Agreement"), between Chrome Energy, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Chrome"), Talisman Capital Opportunity Fund Ltd. ("Talisman"), and TC Hydro Carbon, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("TCHC" or "TC Hydro Carbon" and, together with Talisman, the "Sellers"), Chrome purchased from the Sellers for $6,000,000 cash the following: (a) 375,000,000 shares of Company
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), owned of record by TC Hydro Carbon; (b) 2,244,385 shares of Common Stock held and owned of record by Talisman; (c) a
convertible senior subordinated note from the Company due October 15, 2002, in the principal amount of $750,000 owned and held by Talisman; (d) a convertible note from the Company due
October 26, 2000, in the principal amount of $500,000, owned and held by Talisman; (e) a senior secured 8.0% exchangeable promissory note, also referred to as the line of credit, from
the Company due September 1, 2004, in the principal amount of $4,000,000 owned and held by TC Hydro Carbon; (f) a warrant certificate dated as of October 26, 1998, owned and held
by Talisman providing the right to purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock until October 26, 2008; (g) a warrant certificate dated as of October 26, 1998, owned and held by
Talisman providing the right to purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock until October 26, 2008; (h) a warrant

certificate dated as of October 15, 1997, owned by Talisman providing the right to purchase 45,000 shares of Common Stock until October 15, 2002; and (i) a warrant certificate
dated as of April 23, 1999 owned by Talisman providing the right to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock until April 2009. Subsequent to February 15, 2001, Chrome transferred
to its financial advisors an aggregate of 116,629,564 shares of Common Stock acquired in this transaction.

Chrome
currently owns directly 261,467,674 shares of the Company's Common Stock, of which 260,614,821 were acquired as a result of the Purchase Agreement. Upon consummation of the
purchase by Chrome of the securities of the Company, the Company's three directors prior to the February 15, 2001 elected three new directors. Immediately after the election of these new
directors, the three prior directors resigned from the board of directors. The new directors appointed the new executive officers of the Company.

Corporate History; Former Operations

The Company was formed in 1986, as a Colorado corporation, and was engaged in a variety of businesses until 1996, at which time it began its current operations as
an independent oil and gas company. Since the commencement of its oil and gas operations, the Company has acquired interests in the Nueces River area of south Texas, which were abandoned in 1999, and
has acquired interests on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservations in Utah, which were sold in August 1999. The Company also acquired a lease in oil fields located in Wichita County, Texas,
which was subsequently assigned to a former shareholder. However, in connection with the lease in Wichita County, the Company may remain liable for certain plugging and abandonment costs, estimated to
be approximately $500,000, which have been accrued as of September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Current Business Operations

In May 1997, the Company entered into an exclusive joint venture with the DRSTP (the "1997 Agreement"). The 1997 Agreement provides that the Company will
enter into a joint venture with the DRSTP to create an oil company for the benefit of both parties and the Company will manage the exploration, exploitation and development of the potential oil and
gas reserves onshore and offshore Sao Tome, either through a joint venture or in collaboration with major international oil exploration companies.

In
April 1998, the DRSTP granted approval to the joint venture to precede with the preparation and sale of leases of its oil concession rights. In July 1998, the Company
formed a joint venture with the DRSTP called the Sao Tome and Principe National Petroleum Company, S.A. ("STPetro"), of which the Company owns 49%. As part of the 1997 Agreement, the Company paid the
DRSTP an aggregate concession fee of $5,000,000.

In
September 1998, the DRSTP and STPetro entered into a Technical Assistance Agreement with Mobil Exploration and Producing Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil
Corporation. The Company believes that this agreement expired on or around September 30, 2000.

In
October 1999, the DRSTP claimed that the Company had breached certain terms of the 1997 Agreement and announced the termination of the 1997 Agreement. The Company immediately
exercised its rights to have the matter settled via international arbitration.

After
the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by Chrome, the Company initiated negotiations with the DRSTP concurrent with the arbitration process. In May 2001,
the Company and the DRSTP reached a Memorandum of Agreement (the "2001 Agreement"), witnessed by the FRN, which replaced the 1997 Agreement and suspended the arbitration process. In July 2002,
the 2001
Agreement was embodied in a Consent Award issued by the arbitrator as a result of the satisfaction of several conditions, including the ratification of a treaty between the FRN and the DRSTP.

---

On
Sept. 20, 2002, the Company received via facsimile a letter dated September 19, 2002 from the President of the DRSTP, Fradique Bandiera Melo de Menezes. In the letter,
President Menezes states that the 2001 Agreement dated May 21, 2001, is unenforceable.

The
Company disputes President Menezes' statement that the contract is unconscionable and unenforceable.

The
2001 Agreement was negotiated in good faith with DRSTP and was signed by the proper representative of DRSTP, the Minister of Infrastructure, Natural Resources and Environment, at the
time, Mr. Luis Alberto dos Prazeres. At the time of the 2001 Agreement, the Company and DRSTP were engaged in arbitration proceedings relating to the 1997 Agreement between DRSTP and the
Company. The parties agreed in the 2001 Agreement that when certain conditions were met, the Arbitration proceedings were to be discontinued with prejudice and the terms of the 2001 Agreement were to
be embodied in a Consent Award issued by the Arbitrator. All the conditions were fulfilled and an Arbitral Award by Consent was subsequently issued. Such Consent stated, in part:

"To ratify as a legal valid document, the Agreement."

"To order both Parties to fully comply with the obligations agreed to in said Agreement;"

In
summary, the Company believes that any claims by the President of the DRSTP that he can cause any modification or delay in the 2001 Agreement are unenforceable and without merit. The
Company will vigorously defend its rights in the 2001 Agreement in all international jurisdictions against any and all parties that attempt to frustrate the Company's rights under the 2001 Agreement.

The
2001 Agreement gives the Company rights to participate in exploration and production activities in both the exclusive territorial waters of Sao Tome referred to as the Exclusive
Economic Zone ("EEZ") and an area between Sao Tome and the FRN that the two nations have designated as a JDZ. Since the 2001 Agreement replaces the 1997 Agreement, it requires the Company to
relinquish its rights arising under the 1997 Agreement, including any interest it had in STPetro. As a result, the Company wrote off its interest in STPetro during the year ended September 30,
2001.

More
specifically, the 2001 Agreement entitles the Company to the following:

The
above is only a brief summary of the terms of the 2001 Agreement and such summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the
2001 Agreement (any and all related documents), which have been filed by the Company and which are available on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.

Government Regulation

The development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas is subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations. In
the event the Company begins exploration and development of any oil and gas properties, it may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations.
Matters subject to regulation include:



Under
these laws and regulations, the Company could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up
costs and other environmental damages. If the Company failed to comply with these laws and regulations, it could result in the suspension or termination of the Company's operations and subject it to
administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase the Company's costs. Accordingly, any of these liabilities,
penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Employees

The Company currently has three officers and support staff that provide services to the Company pursuant to a management services agreement between the Company
and an operating company affiliated with Chrome and Sir Emeka Offor, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company.

Risk factors that may affect the results of operations and financial condition of the Company

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making any investment decision related to the Company's securities. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones facing
the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that the Company currently deems immaterial also may impair its business operations. If any of the following risks actually
occur, the Company's business could be harmed.

No Business Operations

The Company's sole asset is an oil and gas exploration concession in Sao Tome received pursuant to the 2001 Agreement, which became effective in July 2002.
The 2001 Agreement was embodied in a Consent Award issued by the arbitrator as a result of the satisfaction of several conditions, including the ratification of a treaty between the FRN and the DRSTP.

Chrome, which appointed the Company's board of directors, beneficially owns approximately 51.09% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock as of
December 16, 2002. As a result, Chrome has the ability to substantially influence, and may effectively control, the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the
election of directors. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control of the Company.

Going Concern Opinion; Lack of Liquidity

For the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company's independent auditors stated that the Company's financial condition raises substantial doubts about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $4,084,210, $6,394,810, and $1,958,880 in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and has a working capital
deficit of $13,293,490 as of September 30, 2002. Since the Company currently has no business operations, it has no internal sources of funding. The Company has been dependent on external
sources of funding for its prior operations, and will continue to be dependent on such sources until it is able to generate sufficient operating cash flow, which may not occur on a timely basis, if at
all. Although the Company has received funding from its shareholders in the past, it should not be assumed that such funds will be available in the future or that the shareholders are obligated to
fund any amounts in excess of the committed lending obligations.

Lack of Trading Market

On December 20, 2001 the Company's common stock began trading on the "over the counter bulletin board" or "OTCBB" under the stock ticker symbol "ERHC." The
market for the Common Stock is sporadic and highly volatile. As such, your ability to sell shares of Common Stock could be severely limited.

Penny Stock Regulations

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a share price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the
rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. These disclosure
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The Common Stock may be subject to the
penny stock rules, and accordingly, investors in the Common Stock may find it difficult to sell their shares in the future, if at all.

Susceptibility to General Economic Conditions

The Company's revenues and results of operations will be subject to fluctuations based upon the general economic conditions both in the United States and
internationally. If there were to be a general economic downturn or a recession in the oil and gas industry, the Company's future revenues and the value of its oil and gas exploration concession could
be materially adversely affected. In the event of such an economic downturn, there can be no assurance that the Company's business, operating results and financial condition would not be materially
and adversely affected.

Item 2.    Description of Property

The Company's office is located at 5444 Westheimer Road, Suite 1570, Houston, Texas 77056. These premises are leased by Chrome Oil Services Ltd. or
("COS"), and pursuant to a management

services agreement, COS provides the space to the Company. This lease for approximately 1,900 sq. ft. of office space expires in February 2006.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

Except as described below, the Company is not aware of any other material legal proceedings pending to which it is a party or its property is subject. From time
to time, the Company may be subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management should not have a materially
adverse effect on the Company's financial position. The Company is opposing vigorously each of the claims discussed below and intends to continue to do so unless an agreeable resolution may otherwise
be secured with regard to each such claim.

Sam L. Bass, Jr. v. ERHC.U.S. District Court, Western District of Louisiana, No. 6:99CV1668. This case was commenced

$1.2 million in damages. The named plaintiff in the case has died and his widow and executrix, Sheila Bass, has substituted herself as plaintiff. The trial is set for February 2003. The
case is in the advanced stages of discovery.

Charles Briley v. ERHC.Fifteenth Judicial District Court, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, No. 2002-2016

George LeBlanc v. ERHC.Fifteenth Judicial District Court, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, No. 2002-2017
(filed April 18, 2002). George LeBlanc, a former ERHC consultant, has filed this breach of contract action alleging that he is due unpaid consulting fees totaling $15,500, along with 125,000
"Rule 144" shares of company common stock. The case is in the very early stages of discovery.

Robert McKnight v. ERHC.Fifteenth Judicial District Court, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, No. 2002-2018
(filed April 18, 2002). Robert McKnight, a former ERHC consultant, has filed this breach of contract action alleging that he is due unpaid consulting fees totaling $83,000, along with $8,619 in
unpaid medical bills. The case is in the very early stages of discovery.

No. 2002-3652 (filed July 17, 2002). A Texas company and its principal have filed this breach of contract action alleging that they are due $21,910 for an unpaid invoice plus
interest. The case is in the very early stages of discovery.

PART II

Item 5.    Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Shareholder Matters

On December 20, 2001, the Company's common stock began trading on the "over the counter bulletin board" or "OTCBB" under the symbol "ERHC." Prior to
December 20, 2001 the Company's Common Stock was trading under the symbol "ERHC" on a "foreign exchange." The market for the Company's Common Stock is sporadic and highly volatile. The
following table sets forth the closing sales price per share of the Common Stock for the past two fiscal years. These prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-ups,
mark-downs or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

On
December 16, 2002, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the "OTCBB" was $0.09. As of December 16, 2002, there were approximately 2,276 record owners of
the Common Stock. It is the Company's present policy not to pay cash dividends and to retain future earnings to support growth. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the
amount of funds legally available, the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. The Company has not paid any
dividends during the last two fiscal years and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations

You must read the following discussion of the results of the operations and financial condition of the Company in conjunction with its financial statements,
including the notes included in this Form 10-K
filing. The Company's historical results are not necessarily an indication of trends in operating results for any future period.

Overview

ERHC is an independent oil and gas company and since 1996 has engaged in the exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas
properties. The Company's goal is to maximize its value through profitable growth in oil and gas reserves and production in the Gulf of Guinea offshore central West Africa and to acquire interests in
non-producing oil and gas properties, particularly high potential international prospects in known oil producing areas. The Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is
an agreement with the DRSTP concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a JDZ between Sao Tome and the
FRN. The Company intends to explore forming

9

---

relationships with other oil and gas companies having technical and financial capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. The Company currently has no
other operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Concentration of risks

The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. From time to time the amount on deposit in that one institution exceeds the $100,000
federally insured limit. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.

The
Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is an agreement with the DRSTP concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of
Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a JDZ between Sao Tome and the FRN. The Company intends to explore forming relationships with other oil and gas companies having technical and
financial capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. Should circumstances impede the Company from perfecting its interests in the 2001 Agreement with
DRSTP, the Company would cease to exist. Should the Company perfect its interests in the 2001 Agreement, there is no certainty that a joint venture partner will be identified to develop the Company's
interests. The Company currently has no other operations.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company
determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Impairments are charged to operations in the
period to which events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. Management of the Company have evaluated its investment in its DRSTP concession fee and believe that there have
been no events or circumstances that would indicate that such asset might be impaired.

Results of Operations

Year ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2001

During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,084,210, compared to a net loss of $6,394,810 for the year ended
September 30, 2001. A significant portion of the decrease in net loss for the year ended September 30, 2002 was attributable to $1,425,000 of expense incurred in 2001 as a result of the
issuance of common stock of the Company to an entity controlled by an officer of the Company and a consultant as compensation for completing the Purchase Agreement by and between Chrome and Talisman
of which there was no such expense incurred during the current year. In addition, during the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company abandoned its investment and a claim for reimbursement
from STPetro totaling $1,125,557 due to developments regarding a proposed treaty between the FRN and DRSTP which would result in STPetro being dissolved. Interest expense for the year ended
September 30, 2002 was $250,351 higher than the same period in 2001 due to additional borrowings under the Company's line of credit with Chrome.

During
February 2001, the Company negotiated a management services agreement by and between Chrome Oil Services Ltd. ("COS") and the Company whereby the Company would pay a
monthly management fee of $68,000 for various services to be provided by COS inclusive of all general office expenses. Total expenses incurred under this management services agreement were $816,000
for the year ended September 30, 2002 compared to approximately $505,000 for the year ended September 30, 2001. The increase in expense is due to the management agreement being in place
for the entire year

10

---

in 2002 compared to eight months in 2001. The Company's executive officers incurred significant travel expenses of approximately $407,000 and $962,000 for the years ended September 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively, as they continued negotiations with officials of the FRN and DRSTP as well as numerous trips to the United States while managing the ongoing affairs of the Company. The Company
anticipates travel related expenses to continue to be significant as the Company further develops its
business interests. The net loss per common share was $0.01, basic and diluted, for the year ended September 30, 2002 compared to a net loss per common share of $0.01, basic and diluted, for
the year ended September 30, 2001.

During
2002 and 2001, the Company had no revenues from which cash flows could be generated to support operations and thus relied on borrowings funded from its line of credit provided by
Chrome in fiscal year 2002 and Chrome and TC Hydro Carbon in fiscal 2001 as well as the sale of common stock in 2002.

Year Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2000

During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,394,810, compared to a net loss of $1,958,880 for the year ended
September 30, 2000. A significant portion of the increase in net loss for the year ended September 30, 2001 was attributable to $1,425,000 of expense incurred as a result of the issuance
of common stock of the Company to an entity controlled by an officer of the Company and a consultant as compensation for completing the Purchase Agreement by and between Chrome and Talisman of which
there was no such expense incurred during the prior year. Additionally, there was $425,000 of expense incurred through the issuance of common stock of the Company to the attorney of the plaintiffs of
a derivative lawsuit, which was settled in February 2001. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company abandoned its investment and a claim for reimbursement from STPetro
totaling $1,125,557 due to developments regarding a proposed treaty between the FRN and DRSTP which would result in STPetro being dissolved.

During
February 2001, the Company negotiated a management services agreement by and between Chrome Oil Services Ltd. ("COS") and the Company whereby the Company would pay a
monthly management fee of $68,000 for various services to be provided by COS inclusive of all general office expenses incurred. Total expenses incurred under this management services agreement were
approximately $505,000 for the year ended September 30, 2001 of which there was no such expense incurred in the prior year. Lastly, the Company's executive officers incurred significant travel
expenses of approximately $962,000 as they continued negotiations with officials of the FRN and DRSTP as well as numerous trips to the United States while managing the ongoing affairs of the Company.
The Company anticipates travel related expenses to continue to be significant as the Company further develops its business interests. The net loss per common share was $0.01, basic and diluted, for
the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to a net loss per common share of $0.00, basic and diluted, for the year ended September 30, 2000.

During
2001 and 2000, the Company had no revenues from which cash flows could be generated to support operations and thus relied on borrowings funded from its line of credit provided by
Chrome and TC Hydro Carbon in fiscal 2001 and TC Hydro Carbon in fiscal 2000.

Going Concern

For the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company's independent auditors stated that the Company's financial condition raises substantial doubts about its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $13,293,490 at September 30, 2002. The Company has incurred net losses of $4,084,210,
$6,394,810 and $1,958,880 in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company is in
ongoing negotiations to raise general operating funds and funds

11

---

for specific projects. Management will be required to, and expects to, raise additional capital through the issuance of debt securities and offerings of equity securities to fund the Company's
operations, and will attempt to continue raising capital resources until such time as the Company generates revenues sufficient to maintain itself as a viable entity. However, there is no assurance
that such financing will be obtained.

The
Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is an agreement with the DRSTP concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of
Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a JDZ between Sao Tome and the FRN. The Company intends to explore forming relationships with other oil and gas companies having technical and
financial capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. Should circumstances impede the Company from perfecting its interests in the 2001 Agreement with
DRSTP, the Company would cease to exist. Should the Company perfect its interests in the 2001 Agreement, there is no certainty that a joint venture partner will be identified to develop the Company's
interests. The Company currently has no other operations.

The
Company has a total of $6.8 million available under debt agreements of $1,800,000 and $5,000,000, respectively, entered into by and between the Company and Chrome (its
majority shareholder). The Company has drawn the full amount available under its $1,800,000 agreement, and has drawn $2,384,563 from the $5,000,000 line of credit, for a total outstanding of
$4,184,563 as of September 30, 2002. It is expected that the Company will continue to borrow funds from Chrome in the future but there is no assurance that funds will be made available or under
similar terms. Chrome is not obligated to provide future borrowings in excess of its existing committed lending obligations. In prior years, the Company was able to raise funds in a timely manner, but
there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. If the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the values realized from the Company's assets may be less than the carrying amounts reported in its financial statements. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company has financed its operations from the sale of its debt and equity securities (including the issuance of its securities in exchange for
goods and services) and bank and other debt. The Company had expected to finance its operations and further development plans during fiscal 2002 and 2001 in part through additional debt or equity
capital and in part through cash flow from operations. There have been no cash flows generated from operations in the past two years and the Company has been able to raise additional equity capital of
$643,500 in 2002 from the sales of its common stock under private placements.

Therefore,
during 2002 the Company has relied primarily on 1) borrowings provided under various debt agreements entered into by and between the Company and its majority
shareholders (Chrome in fiscal year 2002 and Chrome and TC Hydro Carbon in fiscal 2001), 2) conversions of interest and principle due on its convertible notes by the issuance of common stock
and 3) proceeds generated from the sale of its common stock under private placements.

The
Company presently intends to utilize any available sources of funds to provide for general corporate overhead and to continue to pursue its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ.

Financing Arrangements

Escrow Agreements (Chrome)

During January 2001, Chrome entered into escrow agreements with a financial institution for the benefit of the holders of $6,178,750 or 83.2% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding convertible debt securities, which, together with the convertible debt securities held by Chrome of $1,250,000 (excluding convertible lines of
credit currently held by Chrome), constitutes 100% of all of the Company's outstanding convertible debt securities at that date. These escrow agreements provide for the amendment of the outstanding
convertible debt held by the parties to the escrow agreements so that (i) the maturity date is extended to January 31, 2003, (ii) interest will be payable by the Company on
January 31, 2002 and at maturity, (iii) the conversion price is fixed at $0.20 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments, and (iv) all prior defaults by
the Company are waived. Substantially all note holders agreed to the amended terms. The original notes were canceled and replaced with new debt instruments. Additionally, accrued interest of $782,372
as of January 31, 2001 relating to these
convertible notes was converted into principal resulting in the total of the new notes being $8,211,122, including $1,435,979 held by Chrome.

During
the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company received notice of conversion of $870,412 of convertible debt and accrued interest of $56,526, which were converted into
4,634,688 shares of common stock. There were no such conversions of debt into equity during the comparable period in 2001.

On
January 29, 2002, the Company solicited the consent of non-affiliated convertible noteholders to pay interest due on January 31, 2002 with common stock of
the Company having a value equal to $0.20 per share. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company issued 2,219,915 shares of common stock to these non-affiliated
convertible noteholders and 852,853 shares of common stock to Chrome for payment of accrued interest in the aggregate amounts of $443,983 and $170,571, respectively. There were no such conversions of
accrued interest into equity during the comparable period in 2001.

As
of September 30, 2002, if this debt was converted using the conversion price of $0.20 per share, the Company would be required to issue 36,703,550 shares of common stock based
on an outstanding principal amount of $7,340,710, of which 7,179,895 shares of common stock based on an outstanding principal amount of $1,435,979 would be issued to Chrome. Additionally, interest
accrued and unpaid on these notes as of September 30, 2002 is $410,014, of which $114,661 is owed to Chrome. At the option of the noteholders, unpaid interest can be converted into common stock
of the Company. As of September 30, 2002, if this accrued interest were converted using the conversion price of $0.20 per share, the Company would be required to issue 2,050,070 shares of
common stock, of which 573,305 would be issued to Chrome.

Lines of Credit (Chrome)

In connection with the Purchase Agreement between Chrome and TCHC, the TCHC $4.0 million 8% exchangeable promissory note, referred to above, was acquired
and assumed by Chrome. Chrome and the Company subsequently agreed to amend and restate the promissory note into a $2.2 million note maturing in September 2004 and Chrome has made
available, a new working capital line of credit in the amount of $1.8 million maturing in September 2004 at terms similar to the TCHC line of credit. These lines of credit are
convertible at the lesser of $0.20 per share or such price as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of ERHC based on an independent determination by a recognized investment banker. In
addition, as provided for by the Derivative Settlement on February 9, 2001, Chrome executed an additional $5.0 million senior convertible promissory note ("$5.0 Million Line of Credit")
bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, maturing in February 2003. The $5.0 Million Line of Credit is convertible at the lesser of $0.20 per share or such price as shall be

13

---

determined by the Board of Directors of ERHC based on an independent determination by a recognized investment banker. As of September 30, 2002 the total outstanding under these debt
instruments was $6,788,207, of which $6,384,563 of the amount is convertible into shares of common
stock of the Company. As of September 30, 2002, if these debt instruments were converted using the conversion price of $0.20 per share, the Company would be required to issue 31,922,815 shares
of common stock to Chrome. Additionally, interest accrued and unpaid on these notes as of September 30, 2002 is $1,041,948, of which $976,608 is subject to conversion. As of
September 30, 2002, if this accrued interest was converted using the conversion price of $0.20 per share, the Company would be required to issue 4,883,040 shares of common stock to Chrome.

The
aggregate maturities of the principal amounts of all long-term debt instruments (convertible and non-convertible), including current maturities for the next
five fiscal years is as follows: $9,725,273 (including $3,820,542 due to shareholders) is due in 2003 and $4,403,644, which is entirely due to shareholders, is due in 2004.

As
of December 16, 2002, the Company has borrowed approximately $2,530,000 against a $5 million working capital line of credit from Chrome. It is expected that the Company
will continue to borrow funds from this shareholder in the future but there is no assurance that funds will be made available or under similar terms even though the full amount of the line of credit
has not been expended. Chrome is not obligated to provide future borrowings in excess of its existing committed lending obligations. In prior years, the Company was able to raise funds in a timely
manner, but there is no evidence that it will continue to do so in the future.

General Fund Raising Efforts

The Company is in ongoing negotiations to raise general operating funds and funds for specific projects. Management will be required to, and expects to, raise
additional capital through the issuance of debt securities and offerings of equity securities to fund the Company's operations, and will attempt to continue raising capital resources until such time
as the Company generates revenues sufficient to maintain itself as a viable entity. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be obtained.

In
October 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with a consulting group to represent ERHC in commercial negotiations with potential industry partners and to assist with
other financial related services as deemed necessary. If a partnering transaction is identified, the consulting group would provide support necessary to assist the Company in securing appropriate
funding (debt, equity or a combination thereof) to close the transaction.

During
March 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a consulting group to act as a financial advisor and to provide investment banking services to the Company.

In
May 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a consulting group to advise the Company in securing financing of up to $1,500,000 and in structuring a joint venture
arrangement with a partner. The consulting group assisted the Company in selling 6,600,000 shares of common stock, of which
2,600,000 were not issued until December 2002, at $0.10 per share during the year ended September 30, 2002 resulting in net proceeds of $643,500.

In
June 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to assist the Company in securing an agreement with a strategic oil and gas industry partner to prepare the
Company for participation in the award of licenses in Sao Tome.

Working Capital

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had negative working capital of $13,293,490 of which $1,451,962 relates to accrued interest and $723,035 relates to
accrued officers salaries, both of which will most likely be settled by the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company. As of

14

---

September 30, 2002, the Company had drawn the full amount available of $1,800,000 under one note agreement and $2,384,563 had been advanced to the Company under another $5,000,000 line of
credit, with Chrome. The Company expects to utilize this line of credit in order to sustain minimum operations relative to continuing to develop and promote its interests in DRSTP. Where possible, the
Company may seek to preserve cash resources by settling obligations through the issuance of shares of common stock or by the issuance of convertible debt instruments.

Pursuant
to a Purchase Agreement entered into by and between Chrome and TCHC in February 2001, Chrome assumed a $4.0 million line of credit available to the Company. Chrome
and the Company agreed to amend and restate the line of credit into a $2.2 million note and Chrome has made available, a new working capital line of credit in the amount of $1.8 million
both having terms similar to the $4.0 million line of credit. The Company has borrowed the entire $1.8 million under that note agreement. In addition, in February 2001 Chrome made
available to the Company, a two-year $5 million line of credit, which accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. As of December 16, 2002, the Company had borrowed
approximately $2,530,000 under this line of credit. This note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a rate of $0.20 per share.

DRSTP Geological Data

In July 1997, the Company acquired substantial geologic data and other information from an independent source in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock. This data was valued at $2,000,000 based on an agreement with the seller that the Company would repurchase these shares for $2,000,000 at a rate of 25% per quarter should the seller so choose.
In December 1997, the Company repurchased 250,000 shares of its Common Stock for $500,000 in cash. Due to unavailability of cash resources, the Company was unable to acquire the remaining
shares when presented by the seller. Accordingly, the seller sold those shares in the open market with the proceeds generated from the sales offsetting the obligations owed by the Company. Under the
agreement's terms of default, the seller
requested that the Company make whole the seller's shortfall incurred from disposition of the stock at less than $2.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company issued an additional 6,997,917 shares of
Common Stock and paid cash of $222,500 during fiscal year 1999 and $122,000 during fiscal year 2000, leaving a remaining obligation in accounts payable of approximately $246,000 at
September 30, 2001. In April 2002 the Company issued 1,227,875 shares to settle this obligation.

New Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies
criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also requires that
intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with
SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".

The
provisions of SFAS 141 are effective immediately. The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 which would apply
to the Company commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2002. Earlier adoption is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001 but not required.

15

---

SFAS 141
will require that upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company evaluate its existing intangible assets and make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with
the new criteria in SFAS 141. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company plans to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all recorded intangible assets, and make any necessary
amortization period adjustments by December 31, 2002. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the
intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 by December 31, 2002. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Upon adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142, the Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 121 to have a significant effect
on its financial position or operating results.

In
October 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets,"("SFAS 144") applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB's new rules on asset impairment
supersede SFAS 121 and portions of Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations." SFAS 144 provides a
single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that
would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not
depreciated and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. SFAS 144 also requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s)
in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date, as presently required. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 144 to have a significant effect on its
financial position or operating results.

Item 7a.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is an agreement with the DRSTP concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation
located in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a JDZ between Sao Tome and the FRN. The Company intends to explore forming relationships with other oil and gas companies
having technical and financial capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. Should circumstances impede the Company from perfecting its interests in the 2001
Agreement with DRSTP, the Company would cease to exist. Should the Company perfect its interests in the 2001 Agreement, there is no certainty that a joint venture partner will be identified to develop
the Company's interests. The Company currently has no other operations. Currently we transact business exclusively in the United States. As a result, our financial statements results are unlikely to
be effected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.

Our
interest expense is generally not sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States, particularly because a substantial majority of our indebtedness is
at fixed rates.

We
do not hold derivative financial or commodity instruments, nor do we engage in any foreign currency denominated transactions.

Item 8.    Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See Index to Financial Statements and Schedule at page F-1. The financial statements with the report of the independent accountants are included on pages
F-2 through F-22 of this document. Financial statement schedules other than those included herein have been omitted because the required information is contained in the
financial statements or related notes, or such information is not applicable.

Item 9.    Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures

Not applicable.

services, in addition to making available specialized services in the areas of refinery maintenance, engineering design, and upstream oil industry services. COS provides the Company with such services
for a management fee of $68,000 per month. Messrs. Mba, Echesi, and Ntephe are employees of COS and receive salaries and overhead expense reimbursement from COS, not from the Company. Expenses
not covered under the management services agreement are borne by the Company. Total management fees incurred during the years ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 were
$816,000 and approximately $505,000, respectively. The Company's executive officers incurred significant direct expense for travel and related expenses of approximately $407,000 and $962,000 during

Compensation Committee Report

The Board of Directors supervises our executive compensation, as we have not established a Compensation Committee. We seek to provide executive compensation that
will support the achievement of our financial goals while attracting and retaining talented executives and rewarding
superior performance. In performing this function, the Board of Directors may review executive compensation surveys and other available information.

We
seek to provide an overall level of compensation to our executives that is competitive within our industry and other companies of comparable size and complexity. Compensation in any
particular case may vary from any industry average on the basis of annual and long-term performance as well as individual performance. The Board of Directors will exercise its discretion
to set compensation where in its judgment external, internal or individual circumstances warrant it. We compensate our executive officers pursuant to a management service agreement that pays our
officers cash only.

Salary
levels for our executive officers are set generally to be competitive in relation to the salary levels of executive officers in other companies within our industry or other
companies of comparable size, taking into consideration the position's complexity, responsibility and need for special expertise. In reviewing salaries in individual cases the Board of Directors also
takes into account individual experience and performance.

The
overall goal of the Compensation Committee is to insure that compensation policies are established that are consistent with our strategic business objectives and that provide
incentives for the attainment of those objectives.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Please see the discussion in Item 1 above for a detailed discussion of Chrome's February 2001 acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company. Also,
please see Item 12 for a description of the shares of Common Stock and securities convertible into Common Stock that Chrome retained in the transaction.

As
more fully described in Item 10 above, the Company has entered into a management services agreement with COS. COS is the parent company of Chrome, the Company's largest shareholder.
Sir Emeka Offor, the chairman of the board of directors, is the sole director and shareholder of COS. As such, COS is an affiliate of Sir Emeka Offor and Chrome.

In
February 2001, pursuant to the change of control transaction, Chrome assumed from Talisman a working capital line of credit made available to the Company which provided for
borrowings of up to $4 million, of which approximately $2.6 million was then outstanding. That note was amended and restated in February 2001 to provide that $2.2 million
of the total of $2.6 million of principal shall accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and shall be convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share and
shall expire in September 2004. Additionally during February 2001, the remaining principal of approximately $400,000 shall accrue interest at a rate of 8%,
will not be convertible and shall expire in September 2004. Chrome has also made available a new working capital line of credit in the amount of $1.8 million. As of September 30,
2002, the Company had borrowed $1.8 million from this new line of credit. Borrowings under this new line of credit, which expires in September 2004, bear interest at 8% per annum and may
be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share.

In
addition, pursuant to the February 2001 change of control transaction and a derivative settlement agreement, Chrome made available to the Company, a two-year
$5 million line of credit, which accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. As of December 16, 2002, the Company has borrowed approximately $2,530,000 under this line of credit. This
note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at rate of $0.20 per share.

In
March 2001, the Company issued to an entity controlled by Mr. Mba, 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company for services rendered in the February 2001
change of control transaction.

Item 14.    Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and the participation of the Company's management including the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chairman, CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board
of Directors and Shareholders
Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation

We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation (the "Company") as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of
operations, cash flows, and shareholders' equity (deficit) for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002. 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 audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation as of
September 30, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2002 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the
Company has incurred net losses of $4,084,210, $6,394,810 and $1,958,880 in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and had a working capital deficit and stockholders' deficit of $13,293,490
and $12,067,134, respectively, at September 30, 2002. These conditions and other factors discussed in Note 2 raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding the resolution of these issues are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Environmental Remediation Holding Corporation, ("ERHC" or the "Company"), is an independent oil and gas company. The Company was formed in 1986, as a Colorado
corporation, and was engaged in a variety of businesses until 1996, at which time it began its current operations as an independent oil and gas company. The Company's goal is to maximize its value
through profitable growth in oil and gas reserves and production in the Gulf of Guinea offshore central West Africa and to acquire interests in non-producing oil and gas properties,
particularly high potential international prospects in known oil producing areas. The Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is an agreement with the government of the Democratic
Republic of Sao Tome & Principe ("DRSTP") concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a Joint
Development Zone ("JDZ") between Sao Tome and the Federal Republic of Nigeria ("FRN").

In
May 1997, the Company entered into an exclusive joint venture with the DRSTP ("the 1997 Agreement"). The 1997 Agreement required the Company to pay a $5,000,000 concession fee
to the Sao Tome government. In July 2002, the 1997 Agreement was replaced by a Memorandum of Agreement ("the 2001 Agreement") which was embodied in a Consent Award issued by the arbitrator as a
result of the satisfaction of several conditions, including the ratification of a treaty between the FRN and the DRSTP.

The
2001 Agreement gives the Company rights to participate in exploration and production activities in both the exclusive territorial waters of Sao Tome referred to as the Exclusive
Economic Zone ("EEZ") and an area between Sao Tome and the FRN that the two nations have designated as a JDZ. (See Note 3). The Company currently has no other operations.



On February 15, 2001, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2000, as amended by a First Amendment thereto dated January 31,
2001 (as amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), between Chrome Energy, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Chrome"), Talisman Capital Opportunity Fund Ltd. ("Talisman"), and TC Hydro
Carbon, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TCHC" or "TC Hydro Carbon" and, together with Talisman, the "Sellers"), Chrome purchased from the Sellers for $6,000,000 cash the following:
(a) 375,000,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "common stock"), owned of record by TC Hydro Carbon; (b) 2,244,385 shares of common stock held and owned
of record by Talisman; (c) a convertible senior subordinated note from the Company due October 15, 2002, in the principal amount of $750,000 owned and held by Talisman; (d) a
convertible note from the Company due October 26, 2000, in the principal amount of $500,000, owned and held by Talisman; (e) a senior secured 8.00% exchangeable promissory note from the
Company due September 1, 2004, in the principal amount of $4,000,000 owned and held by TC Hydro Carbon; (f) a warrant certificate dated as of October 26, 1998, owned and held by
Talisman providing the right to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock until October 26, 2008; (g) a warrant certificate dated as of October 26, 1998, owned and held by Talisman
providing the right to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock until October 26, 2008; (h) a warrant certificate dated as of October 15, 1997, owned by Talisman providing the
right to purchase 45,000 shares of the common stock until October 15, 2002; and (i) a warrant certificate dated as of April 23, 1999 owned by Talisman providing the right to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock until April 22, 2009. Subsequent to

February 15, 2001, Chrome transferred to its financial advisors an aggregate of 116,629,564 shares of common stock acquired in this transaction.



Upon consummation of the purchase by Chrome of the foregoing securities of the Company, the Company's three directors prior to February 15, 2001 elected
three new directors. Immediately after the election of these new directors, the three prior directors resigned from the board of directors. The new directors appointed the new executive officers of
the Company.

Chrome
currently owns directly 261,467,674 shares of the Company's common stock, of which 260,614,821 were acquired as a result of the Purchase Agreement.



In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Chrome is a party to a First Amended Agreement dated February 9, 2001 (the
"Derivative Settlement"), whereby the parties thereto have agreed to dismiss with prejudice a derivative lawsuit (styledENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION HOLDING CORPORATION,
DERIVATIVELY BY AND THROUGH KEVIN BARTLEY ET AL V. TALISMAN CAPITAL OPPORTUNITY FUND L.P. ET AL) previously filed by certain of the Company's shareholders against several of
the Company's former directors and controlling shareholders. This agreement was executed prior to the Purchase Agreement noted above. Pursuant to the Derivative Settlement, the following actions were
consummated:

(a)  under
the terms of the line of credit and the Derivative Settlement, the Company executed a new note with Chrome maturing in September 2004 for $2,200,000 of the
advances made by TC Hydro Carbon outstanding for more than 180 days as of January 31, 2001. Such note and the accrued interest thereon is convertible at any time at a conversion price of
$0.20 per share;

(b)  the
Company executed a new convertible note for $1,800,000 bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum maturing September 2004. Such note and the accrued interest
thereon is convertible at any time at a conversion price of $0.20 per share;

(c)  the
5.5% Note was cancelled and the Company executed a new convertible note payable to Chrome for $804,313, representing the outstanding principal balance of the 5.5%
Note and all accrued interest thereon as of January 31, 2001. Such note is convertible, at Chrome's option, into shares of common stock at $0.20 per share;

(d)  the
20% Note was cancelled and the Company executed a new convertible note payable to Chrome for $631,667 representing the outstanding principal balance of the 20% Note
and all accrued interest thereon, as of January 31, 2001. Such note is convertible, at Chrome's option, into shares of common stock at $0.20 per share;

(e)  the
Company executed an additional $5.0 million senior convertible promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% annum maturing February 2003
convertible at the lesser of $0.20 per share or such price as shall be determined by the board of ERHC based on an independent determination by a recognized investment banker;

(f)    the
Company issued 8,500,000 shares of common stock to an attorney to settle certain legal obligations of the plaintiffs involved in this settlement.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the
financial statements, management is required 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period for the years then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.



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



The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. From time to time the amount on deposit in that one institution exceeds the $100,000
federally insured limit. The balances are maintained in demand accounts to minimize risk.

The
Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is an agreement with the DRSTP concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of
Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a JDZ between Sao Tome and the FRN. The Company intends to explore forming relationships with other oil and gas companies having technical and
financial
capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. Should circumstances impede the Company from perfecting its interests in the 2001 Agreement with DRSTP, the
Company would cease to exist. Should the Company perfect its interests in the 2001 Agreement, there is no certainty that a joint venture partner will be identified to develop the Company's interests.
The Company currently has no other operations.



The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company
determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Impairments are charged to operations in the
period to which events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. Management of the Company have evaluated its investment in its DRSTP concession fee and believe that there have
been no events or circumstances that would indicate that such asset might be impaired.



The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109"Accounting for
Income Taxes", which provides for an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future
tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

The Company has issued shares of common stock for goods received and services rendered. The costs of the goods or services are valued according to the terms of
relative agreements or market value on the date of obligation. The cost of the goods or services has been charged to operations.



Net loss per common sharebasic is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Due the Company having a net loss for each of the three years ended September 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the inclusion of common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive, thus
basic and diluted loss per share are the same.



In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies
criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also requires that
intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with
SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".

The
provisions of SFAS 141 are effective immediately. The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 which would apply
to the Company commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2002. Earlier adoption is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001 but not required.

SFAS 141
will require that upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company evaluate its existing intangible assets and make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with
the new criteria in SFAS 141. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company plans to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all recorded intangible assets, and make any necessary
amortization period adjustments by December 31, 2002. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to test the
intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142 by December 31, 2002. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Upon adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142, the Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 121 to have a significant effect
on its financial position or operating results.

In
October 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets,"("SFAS 144") applicable to financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB's new rules on asset impairment
supersede SFAS 121 and portions of
Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations." SFAS 144 provides a single accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as
held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. SFAS 144 also requires
expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date, as presently required. The
Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 144 to have a significant effect on its financial position or operating results.

Note 2Going Concern

The Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $13,293,490 at September 30, 2002. The Company has incurred net losses of $4,084,210,
$6,394,810 and $1,958,880 in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company is in
ongoing negotiations to raise general operating funds and funds for specific projects. Management will be required to, and expects to, raise additional capital through the issuance of debt securities
and offerings of equity securities to fund the Company's operations, and will attempt to continue raising capital resources until such time as the Company generates revenues sufficient to maintain
itself as a viable entity. However, there is no assurance that such financing will be obtained.

The
Company's current focus is to exploit its only asset, which is an agreement with the DRSTP concerning oil and gas exploration in Sao Tome, an island nation located in the Gulf of
Guinea off the coast of central West Africa, and in a JDZ between Sao Tome and the FRN. The Company intends to explore forming relationships with other oil and gas companies having technical and
financial capabilities to assist the Company in leveraging its interests in Sao Tome and the JDZ. Should circumstances impede the Company from perfecting its interests in the 2001 Agreement with
DRSTP, the Company would cease to exist. Should the Company perfect its interests in the 2001 Agreement, there is no certainty that a joint venture partner will be identified to develop the Company's
interests. The Company currently has no other operations.

The
Company has a total of $6.8 million available under debt agreements of $1,800,000 and $5,000,000, respectively, entered into by and between the Company and Chrome (its
majority shareholder). The Company has drawn the full amount of the $1,800,000, and $2,384,563 from the $5,000,000, for a total outstanding of $4,184,563 as of September 30, 2002. It is
expected that the Company will continue to borrow funds from Chrome in the future but there is no assurance that funds will be made available or under similar terms. In prior years, the Company was
able to raise funds in a timely manner, but there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the values realized from the Company's assets may be less than the carrying amounts reported in its financial
statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or
the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3Sao Tome Concession



The 1997 Agreement required the Company to pay a $5,000,000 concession fee to the DRSTP.

In
October 1999, the DRSTP claimed that the Company had breached certain terms of the 1997 Agreement and announced a termination of the Agreement. The Company immediately
exercised its rights to have the matter settled via international arbitration in accordance with the terms of the 1997 Agreement.



After the acquisition by Chrome in February 2001, the Company initiated negotiations with the DRSTP concurrent with the arbitration process. On
May 21, 2001, the Company and the DRSTP reached a Memorandum of Agreement, ("2001 Agreement"), witnessed by the FRN which replaced the 1997 Agreement and suspended the arbitration process. In
July 2002, the 2001 Agreement was embodied in a Consent Award issued by the Arbitrator as a result of the satisfaction of several

F-11

---

conditions, including the ratification of a treaty between the FRN and the DRSTP relative to the JDZ between the countries, and will remain in effect through September 30, 2024.

The
2001 Agreement gives ERHC rights to participate in exploration and production activities in both the EEZ of the DRSTP and an area between DRSTP and the FRN that the two nations have
designated as a JDZ. Since the 2001 Agreement replaces the 1997 Agreement, it requires the Company to relinquish its rights arising under the 1997 Agreement including any interest it had in STPetro.

The
2001 Agreement entitles the Company to the following:





In May 2002, the Company paid $80,000 to the arbitrator on behalf of and with the agreement of DRSTP.



On February 10, 2001, Chrome entered into an Assignment and Settlement Agreement with Procura Financial Consultants, C.C., a South African
closely-held corporation ("Procura"), and STP Energy Corporation, a British Virgin Islands international business company ("STP"). Procura and STP had asserted claims and rights against
the Company's business opportunities and contractual relationships with the DRSTP claiming, among other things, to be a joint venture partner of the Company in such relationship and also an indirect
participant in STPetro, S.A., the national petroleum company of the DRSTP in which the Company owns a 49% equity interest. Under the Assignment and Settlement Agreement, Procura and STP assigned all
such claims and rights to Chrome in exchange for $550,000 cash paid by Chrome. To the extent that any such claims were not assigned or not assignable to Chrome, Procura and STP released and covenanted
not to sue the Company and the DRSTP. Subsequently, Chrome assigned the Procura and STP claims and rights to the Company, subject to repayment of the cash consideration it paid to acquire such claims
and rights.

In July 1998, the DRSTP established the Sao Tome and Principe National Petroleum Company, SA ("STPetro") as the national petroleum company. The charter
established the initial ownership of STPetro as 51% by DRSTP and 49% by ERHC in exchange for $51,000 and $49,000, respectively. Through June 30, 2001, the Company expended $1,076,557 on behalf
of STPetro. As a condition of the 2001 agreement referred to above, the Company would no longer pursue collection of its investment or the amounts expended on behalf of STPetro. Accordingly, during
July 2001 management elected to write off its investment in STPetro as well as the amounts expended on behalf of STPetro resulting in $1,125,557 being recorded as write-offs and
abandonments during the year ended September 30, 2001.

Note 4Restricted Cash

At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company has restricted cash of $18,074 and $17,529, respectively, which is invested in an interest-bearing certificate
of deposit, pledged as collateral for a performance bond covering certain oil and gas properties in Wichita Falls, Texas. These oil and gas properties were abandoned and written off during the year
ended September 30, 1999 and the Company is currently investigating the release of the performance bond.

In
April 1999, the Company received conversion notices on $750,000 of the convertible debt issued in November 1997. This debt, and accrued interest and penalties thereon of

F-14

---

and penalties of $675,216, was converted into 11,714,293 shares of common stock during the year ended September 30, 1999.

Effective
April 1999, the Company negotiated a Standstill Agreement with each of its convertible noteholders. The Standstill Agreement essentially waived all interest and
penalties from the effective date of the agreement (April 23, 1999) through October 15, 1999, changed the conversion feature of each note so each note's conversion terms were uniform,
and fixed the conversion price to be $0.20 per share. Each noteholder also agreed, until October 15, 1999, (i) not to convert all or any part of their notes, (ii) not to declare a
default or seek acceleration of any payments under the notes; (iii) not to commence any foreclosure or bankruptcy actions under the note; (iv) not to declare an event of default or
commence any arbitration action under any of the transaction documents. In addition all interest and penalties accrued through the effective date of the Standstill Agreement were converted to common
stock of the Company. Accordingly, the Company issued 12,815,321 shares of common stock in exchange for accrued interest of $562,848 and accrued penalties of $1,831,392 during the year ended
September 30, 1999.

In
October 1999, the Company received a conversion notice on $150,000 of the convertible debt issued in July 1998. This debt, and accrued interest and penalties of
$145,881, was converted into 7,607,092 shares of common stock during the year ended September 30, 2000.



In August 1999, in conjunction with the change in control of the Company involving TCHC, the Company entered into a $4.0 million senior secured
8.00% exchangeable promissory note. As of September 30, 2000, the outstanding balance of this note was $2,444,944. This note was acquired by Chrome, effective February 15, 2001, as a
part of closing of the Purchase Agreement discussed below under "Lines of Credit (Chrome)".



During January 2001, Chrome entered into escrow agreements with a financial institution for the benefit of the holders of $6,178,750 or 83.2% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding convertible debt securities, which, together with the convertible debt securities held by Chrome of $1,250,000 (excluding convertible lines of
credit currently held by Chrome), constitutes 100% of all of the Company's outstanding convertible debt securities at that date. These escrow agreements provide for the amendment of the outstanding
convertible debt held by the parties to the escrow agreements so that (i) the maturity date is extended to January 31, 2003, (ii) interest will be payable by the Company on
January 31, 2002 and at maturity, (iii) the conversion price is fixed at $0.20 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments, and (iv) all prior defaults by
the Company are waived. Substantially all note holders agreed to the amended terms. The original notes were canceled and replaced with new debt instruments. Additionally, accrued interest of $782,372
as of January 31, 2001 relating to these convertible notes was converted into principal resulting in the total of the new notes being $8,211,122, including $1,435,979 held by Chrome.

During
the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company received notice of conversion of $870,412 of convertible debt and accrued interest of $56,526, which were converted into
4,634,688 shares of common stock. There were no such conversions of debt into equity during the comparable period in 2001.

On
January 29, 2002, the Company solicited the consent of non-affiliated convertible noteholders to pay interest due on January 31, 2002 with common stock of
the Company having a value equal to $0.20 per share. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company issued 2,219,915 shares of common stock to these non-affiliated
convertible noteholders and 852,853 shares of common stock to Chrome for payment of accrued interest in the aggregate amounts of $443,983 and $170,571,

In connection with the Purchase Agreement between Chrome and TCHC, the TCHC $4.0 million 8% exchangeable promissory note, referred to above, was acquired
and assumed by Chrome. Chrome and the Company subsequently agreed to amend and restate the promissory note into a $2.2 million note maturing in September 2004 and Chrome has made
available, a new working capital line of credit in the amount of $1.8 million maturing in September 2004 at terms similar to the TCHC line of credit. These lines of credit are
convertible at the lesser of $0.20 per share or such price as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of ERHC based on an independent determination by a recognized investment banker. In
addition, as provided for by the Derivative Settlement on February 9, 2001, Chrome executed
an additional $5.0 million senior convertible promissory note ("$5.0 Million Line of Credit") bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, maturing in February 2003. The $5.0 Million
Line of Credit is convertible at the lesser of $0.20 per share or such price as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of ERHC based on an independent determination by a recognized investment
banker. As of September 30, 2002 the total outstanding under these debt instruments was $6,788,207, of which $6,384,563 of the amount is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company.
As of September 30, 2002, if these debt instruments were converted using the conversion price of $0.20 per share, the Company would be required to issue 31,922,815 shares of common stock to
Chrome. Additionally, interest accrued and unpaid on these notes as of September 30, 2002 is $1,041,948, of which $976,608 is subject to conversion. As of September 30, 2002, if this
accrued interest was converted using the conversion price of $0.20 per share, the Company would be required to issue 4,883,040 shares of common stock to Chrome.

The
aggregate maturities of the principal amounts of all long-term debt instruments (convertible and non-convertible), including current maturities for the next
five fiscal years is as follows: $9,725,273 (including $3,820,542 due to shareholders) is due in 2003 and $4,403,644, which is entirely due to shareholders, is due in 2004.

Note 6Accrued Salaries

amounts and rights claimed by these officers are subject to lawsuits in which the Company is negotiating a final settlement. As of September 30, 2002 no agreement has been reached, but the
Company expects that a negotiated settlement may result in the issuance of additional shares of common stock of the Company (See Note 10).

As
referred to in Note 5, effective January 31, 2001, Chrome entered into escrow agreements with a financial institution for the benefit of the holders of all of the
Company's outstanding convertible debt securities at that date. As a condition to the escrow agreements all accrued interest up through and including January 31, 2001, totaling $782,372 was
capitalized as part of the amended note agreements.

In
January 2002, the Company solicited the consent of non-affiliated convertible noteholders to pay interest due on January 31,2002 with common stock of the
Company having a value equal to $0.20 per share. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company issued 2,219,915 shares of common stock to these non-affiliated convertible
noteholders and 852,853 shares of common stock to Chrome for payment of accrued interest in the aggregate amounts of $443,983 and $170,571, respectively.

Note 8Income Taxes

At September 30, 2002 the Company has a consolidated net operating loss carry-forward ("NOL") of approximately $57 million expiring
through 2022. The Company has a deferred tax asset of approximately $22.8 million resulting from this NOL. The loss carryforwards are subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue
Code including Section 382 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. ERHC believes that the utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards could be significantly limited due to the changes in
ownership and control. The ultimate realization of the resulting net deferred tax asset is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the NOLs. Due to the nature of
these NOLs and since realization is not assured, management has established a valuation allowance relating to the deferred tax asset for both 2002 and 2001 in an amount equal to the deferred tax
asset.

Note 9Shareholders' Equity (Deficit)

The Company has authorized 950,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock.

From
time to time, in order to fund operating activities of the Company, common stock is issued for cash or in exchange for goods or services. Generally, offerings of the Company's
common stock include warrants to acquire common stock of the Company at fixed exercise prices. Occasionally, depending on the nature of the offering and restrictions imposed on the shares being
acquired, the exercise price of the warrant may be below the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of issuance.

During
the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company issued 6,854,603 shares of common stock to non-affiliated convertible noteholders and 852,853 shares of common
stock to Chrome for the conversion of debt and settlement of accrued interest (see Notes 5 and 7).

Note 10Commitments and Contingencies



During August 1999 and February 2001, the Company underwent changes of control. Following the changes of control of the Company, new management and
the new board of directors were required to
expend significant Company resources to settle claims and expenses arising out of the conduct of prior management. In addition, the Company faces additional unresolved claims and disputes, including
suits seeking recoveries in excess of $1.0 million brought by former employees and officers for back salary and other amounts. The Company is defending its position vigorously, but there is no
certainty that the Company will prevail. The Company is proceeding in the hope that a settlement can be reached. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, officers' salaries of $723,035 and
$1,013,035, respectively, have been accrued and management believes this amount will be sufficient to settle any amounts that may be due.

The
Company is subject to other legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been fully adjudicated. Although there can be no assurance as to the
ultimate disposition of these matters and the proceedings disclosed above, in the opinion of management, based upon information available at this time, the cost of defense or settlement of these
actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Additionally,
from time to time, certain potential obligations are presented to the Company that may have originated during periods not under existing management's control. These alleged
obligations are generally for goods and services for which the Company has no record. The Company actively investigates these claims as they arise. All known material obligations of the Company have
been recorded and reflected in the financial statements, but there is no certainty that all material claims have been presented to the Company nor have the benefits of available statutes of
limitations been considered, should they apply.

these persons receive salaries and overhead expense reimbursement from COS, not from the Company. Expenses not covered under the management services agreement are paid by the Company which include
primarily general office supplies. This agreement has no expiration date but does expire 30 days following the delivery of a
