                          BASIC NATURAL RESOURCES INC.
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The financial  statements of Basic Natural  Resources Inc. (the "Company"),
included herein, are unaudited for all periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
They reflect all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of  management,  necessary to fairly  depict the results for
the  periods  presented.  Certain  information  and note  disclosures,  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles,  have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  It is suggested that
these  financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the audited  financial
statements for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, which are included in the
Company's  annual report.  The Company believes that the disclosures made herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

2.   Earnings per Common and Common Equivalent Share

     Earnings  per common and common  equivalent  share is based on the  average
number of common shares and dilutive  common share  equivalents  outstanding for
the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, adjusted for a 1-for-60 reverse
stock split which has been applied  retroactively.  The stock split was approved
by the shareholders on January 10, 1997.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

General

     The Company ceased all oil and gas  operations in June 1994,  following the
disposition  of its  oil  and  gas  interests.  The  Company  continues  to seek
acquisitions  and  mergers  in  the  area  of  computer  related   technologies.
Management  believes  that  an  acquisition  of  this  nature  will  provide  an
opportunity to enhance stockholder value.

Results of Operations

     Analysis of Six Months ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Six Months ended
     September 30, 1995

     Costs and expenses for the six months ended  December 31, 1996 were $46,050
and were  associated  with general and  administrative  expenses.  The amount of
$30,000 was  included in the  expenses  to settle the  environmental  litigation
against the Company. Cash in the amount of $10,000

                                        7

will be paid and 33,334  shares of the  Company's  common stock were issued at a
value of $20,000. General and administrative expenses increased when compared to
the same period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     There were no recorded revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1996.
For the period  from June 30,  1996  through  December  31,  1996 the  Company's
working capital deficit increased  approximately 50% when compared to the period
ended June 30, 1996.  At December 31,  1996,  the Company  maintained a negative
liquidity  position  which is  evidenced  by a current  ratio of -5.51 to 1. The
Company  has no  major  capital  commitments  at the  present  time.  Management
continues  to  review  potential  acquisition  candidates  in  computer  related
technologies in its endeavor to restructure the Company,  increase the Company's
current ratio and liquidity,  and generate capital which would provide cash flow
for future expansion.
