ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Pyramid Oil Company is a California corporation that has been in the oil and
gas business continuously, since it was incorporated on October 9, 1909.
Pyramid Oil Company, hereinafter referred to as "Pyramid" or the "Company," is
engaged in the business of exploration, development and production of crude
oil and natural gas.

Pyramid acquires interests in land and producing properties through
acquisition and lease on which it drills and/or operates crude oil or natural
gas wells in efforts to discover and/or to produce oil and gas.  Crude oil and
natural gas produced from these properties are sold to various refineries and
pipeline companies.  The majority of all oil and gas properties that Pyramid
owns and operates is for its own account.  Pyramid also participates in
specific joint ventures with other companies in the development of oil and gas
properties.  Pyramid's interests in these properties will vary depending on
the availability of said interests and their locations.  Although the Company
owns some minor oil and gas interests in New York and Wyoming, all of the
Company's operations and major revenue producing properties are in California.




<PAGE> 5

The Company's executive offices are located at 2008 21st Street, Bakersfield,
California, 93301, telephone (661) 325-1000, facsimile (661) 325-0100.


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Pyramid operates in a highly competitive industry wherein many companies, from
large multinational companies to small independent producers, are competing
for a finite amount of oil and gas resources.  The Company seeks out
properties to explore for oil and gas by drilling and also seeks out producing
oil and gas properties that can be purchased and operated.  Management
believes that under the right economic conditions, several of the producing
properties that the Company owns could have further developmental potential.
Certain oil properties currently owned and operated by the Company may be
receptive to enhanced oil recovery procedures under certain economic
conditions.

OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

Pyramid owns and operates 27 oil and gas leases (properties) located within
Kern and Santa Barbara Counties in the State of California.  All of these
properties are capable of producing oil or natural gas, although not all of
these properties are considered profitable under certain economic conditions.
During 2004, the Company operated 18 leases within California, with total
annual gross oil production exceeding 1,000 barrels per lease.  Production
activities primarily consist of the daily pumping of oil from a well(s) into
tanks, maintaining the production facilities both at the well and tank
settings, preparing and shipping the crude oil to buyers.  Daily operations
differ from one property to another, depending on the number of wells, the
depth of the wells, the gravity of the oil produced and the location of the
property.  All of Pyramid's oil production is classified as primary recovery
production at this time; although certain properties may be conducive to
secondary recovery operations in the future, depending on the prevailing price
of oil.

Primary recovery of oil and gas is by means of natural flow(s) or artificial
lift of oil and gas from a single well bore.  Natural gas and petroleum fluids
enter the well bore by means of reservoir pressure or gravity flow; fluids and
gases are moved to the surface by natural pressure or by means of artificial
lift (pumping).  In secondary recovery operations, liquids or gases are
injected into the reservoirs for the purpose of augmenting reservoir energy or
increasing reservoir temperatures. Secondary recovery operations, usually, but
not always, are done after the primary-recovery phase has passed.







<PAGE> 6

The Company employs field personnel (i.e., pumpers, rig crews, roustabouts and
equipment operators) that perform basic daily activities associated with
producing oil and gas. Daily operations include inspections of surface
facilities and equipment, gauging, reporting and shipping oil, and routine
maintenance and repair activities on wells, production facilities and
equipment. The Company owns and maintains various pieces of equipment
necessary for employees to perform various repair and maintenance tasks on
Company properties. Such equipment consists of service rigs, mobile pumps,
vacuum trucks, hot oil truck, backhoe, trucks and trailers.

Occasionally, the Company drills new wells or redrills existing wells on
properties owned by the Company in an attempt to increase oil and gas
production.  In the last five years, the Company has utilized the services of
outside drilling contractors for drilling new wells and redrilling existing
wells.  Maintenance and repairs of existing wells to maintain or increase oil
and gas production are carried out by Company personnel on a continuing basis.
Most maintenance and repair work is performed with Company rigs.

Economic factors associated with the price of oil and gas and the productive
output of wells determine the number of active wells the Company operates.
Under certain economic conditions, the Company has the potential to operate
approximately 119 wells, and of these, approximately 64 were in operation
during 2004.  Operations continue to be reduced on specific properties that
are currently generating a marginal gross profit in an effort to hold the
properties until economic conditions warrant full scale operations. The
Company also owns other oil and gas interests outside of California that it
does not operate.  These interests are located in Wyoming and New York.


MARKETING OF CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS

The Company sells its crude oil to ConocoPhillips and Kern Oil & Refining,
accounting for approximately 52.2% and 43.2%, respectively, of Pyramid's crude
oil and gas sales in 2004.  While revenue from these customers is significant,
and the loss of any one could have an adverse effect on the Company, it is
management's opinion that the oil and gas it produces could be sold to other
crude oil purchasers, refineries or  pipeline companies.  ConocoPhillips and
Kern Oil have been customers of the Company for over ten years.  Natural
gas is sold to companies in the area of operations.  The Company sells its oil
pursuant to short-term contracts.  Accordingly, the amount of oil the Company
sells is dependent upon market demand.  Market demand for Pyramid's production
is subject to various influences and can never be assured, especially in an
era of changing prices.  The base values for crude oil the Company sells is
set by major oil companies in response to area and market strengths and
international influences.  Types and qualities of crude oil vary substantially
in base values posted by crude oil buyers in various areas of the country.
Pyramid's crude oil sales are not seasonal, but uniform throughout the year.

RISKS, COMPETITION AND INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

The profitability of the Company's operations depends primarily on the
production of oil and gas in commercially profitable quantities.  Oil and gas
properties often fail to provide a return sufficient to repay the substantial
sums of money required for their acquisition, exploration and development.
The acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties is a
highly competitive business.  Many entities with which the Company competes
have significantly greater financial and staff resources.  Such competitive
disadvantages could materially and adversely affect the Company's ability to
acquire new properties or develop existing properties.

The oil and gas industry, in general, has been adversely affected by several
factors beyond the Company's control, including unstable oil and gas prices,
uncertainty regarding the effect of pricing agreements and production quotas
and allocations established by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries, political instability in the Middle East and the status of
ever-changing federal and state legislation and regulation.

Given the uncertainty of international and domestic political actions and
their impact on the energy markets, it is difficult, if not impossible, to
predict the price or market situation for any oil or gas which is currently
owned or which could be developed by the Company.  Depressed oil and gas
prices or significant curtailment in the Company's oil and gas production
from its better properties would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations.

REGULATIONS

The Company's business is affected by numerous governmental laws and
regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws
and regulations relating to the petroleum industry.  Changes in any of these
laws and regulations could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's
business and financial stability.  In view of the many uncertainties with
respect to current laws and regulations, including their applicability to the
Company, the Company cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and
regulations on future operations.


TAXATION

The operations of the Company, as is the case in the petroleum industry
generally, are significantly affected by federal tax laws. Federal, as well as
state, tax laws have many provisions applicable to corporations which could
affect the future tax liability of the Company.








<PAGE> 8

ENVIRONMENTAL

The Company's activities are subject to existing federal and state laws and
regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control.  These laws
may require the acquisition of permits relating to certain ongoing operations,
for drilling, emissions, waste water disposal and other air and water quality
controls.  In view of the uncertainty and unpredictability of environmental
statutes and regulations, the Company cannot ensure that such laws and
regulations will not materially and adversely affect the business of the
Company.  The Company does not currently anticipate any material effect on its
capital expenditures or earnings as the result of governmental regulations,
enacted or proposed, concerning environmental protection or the discharge of
material into the environment.  The Company is actively pursuing an ongoing
policy of upgrading and restoring older properties to comply with current and
proposed environmental regulations.


COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is liable for future dismantlement and abandonment costs
associated with its oil and gas properties.  These costs include down-hole
plugging and abandonment of wells, future site restoration, post closure and
other environmental exit costs.  The costs of future dismantlement and
abandonment have been accrued and recorded in the financial statements.  See
Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 7 of this Form
10-KSB.


OTHER

The Company employed twelve full-time people as of December 31, 2004, three of
whom were office or administrative personnel, and the rest of whom were field
personnel.  The Company contracts for additional labor services when needed.
The Company is not a party to any union or labor contracts.

The Company had no material research and development costs for the three years
ended December 31, 2004.

All of the Company's revenues during 2004 were derived from domestic sources.

The Company does not have any patents or trademarks, and it does not believe
that its business or operations are dependent upon owning any patents or
trademarks.

ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

(a)  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The principal assets of the Company consist of proven and unproven oil and
gas properties, oil and gas production related equipment and developed and
undeveloped real estate holdings.  The Company's oil and gas properties are
located exclusively in the continental United States, in California, Wyoming
and New York.

Developed oil and gas properties are those on which sufficient wells have been
drilled to economically recover the estimated reserves calculated for the
property.  Undeveloped properties do not presently have sufficient wells to
recover the estimated reserves.  The Company had no significant proved
undeveloped properties at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.


(b)  OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

The Company's estimated future net recoverable oil and gas reserves from
proved developed properties were assembled by SI International, Inc.,
independent petroleum engineers, and are as follows:

</Table>

The Company's estimated future net recoverable oil and gas reserves, noted in
the table above, have not been filed with any other Federal authority or
agency since January 1, 2004.

Using year-end oil and gas prices and lease operating expenses, the estimated
value of future net revenues to be derived from Pyramid's proved developed oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, were $4,636,000 at December 31, 2004,
$4,617,000 at December 31, 2003, $4,325,000 at December 31, 2002, $1,250,000
at December 31, 2001, and $2,311,000 at December 31, 2000.

Pyramid participates in the drilling of developmental wells, no single one of
which would cause a significant change in the net reserve figure.

    (1)  "Gross wells" represents the total number of wells in which the
         Company has a working interest.  "Net wells" represents the number
         of gross wells multiplied by the percentage of the working
         interests therein held by the Company.

    (2)  "Gross acreage" represents all acres in which the Company has a
         working interest.  "Net acres" represents the aggregate of the
         working interests of the Company in the gross acres.

The Company drilled two new wells in 2004, one on the Santa Fe lease and one
joint-venture well.  The Company participated with two other oil companies as
operator in the drilling of the joint venture well.  The Company also drilled
a well in 2003 on the Anderson lease in the Carneros Creek Field.  No wells
were drilled in 2002, 2001 and 2000, although the Company did participate as a
non-operator in 2001 and 2000 in the drilling of joint-venture wells.

         "Unproven" oil and gas properties are those on which the presence of
         commercial quantities of reserves of crude oil or natural gas has not
         been established.

         "Undeveloped" acreage exists on those oil and gas properties where
         economically recoverable reserves are estimated to exist in proved
         reservoirs from wells to be drilled in the future.

As of December 31, 2004, Pyramid held positions in unproven acreage in the
following locations:

At December 31, 2004, the Company had 347 shareholders of record, and an
unknown number of additional holders whose stock is held in "street name".

The Company has paid no dividends on its common shares for the past five
years.  The Company had received a proposal from a shareholder to pay a cash
dividend in 2004.  This dividend proposal was included in the proxy statement
for the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and was voted upon by the
shareholders.  The dividend proposal was defeated.

The Company did not issue or repurchase any securities during 2004.


ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


IMPACT OF CHANGING PRICES

Average prices increased by approximately $8.50 per equivalent crude oil and
gas barrel sold during 2004 as compared with average prices for 2003.  In 2004
there were 216 separate crude oil price changes, as compared with 204 price
changes in 2003.  The difference between the highest and lowest posted prices
in 2004 was $17.40 per barrel.  By comparison, this same differential in 2003
was $14.50 per barrel.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $816,216 at December 31, 2004 for
an increase of $209,417 when compared to December 31, 2003.  Operating
activities in 2004 generated cash of $923,598.  During 2004, cash was consumed
by capital spending of $732,739, a cash deposit with the state of California
Division of Oil and Gas in the amount of $250,000 and principal payments on
the Company's long-term debt totaling $48,434.  This was offset by proceeds
from the sale of property and equipment in the amount of $281,500 and the
issuance of long-term debt of $59,849.  The components of the changes in cash
for 2004 are described in the Statements of Cash Flows included in Item 7 of
this Form 10-KSB.  Adequate funds were available to carry out all necessary
oil and gas operations and to maintain its equipment.  During 2004, the
Company had short-term investments of $850,000 which provided additional
liquidity.  Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit having
original maturities of three months or more.  A $200,000 line of credit,
unused at December 31, 2004, also provided additional liquidity during 2004.











<PAGE> 14

The Company believes that its existing current assets and the amount of cash
it anticipates it will generate from current operations will be sufficient to
fund the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.  In addition to its current assets,
the Company also has a credit facility for $200,000 available in the event
that it needs other resources to fund its liquidity and capital resource
needs.  Although the Company may increase its capital expenditures during the
current fiscal year to enhance its current oil production capacities, it does
not anticipate that such expenditures would exceed the amount of liquidity
currently available to the Company.  The Company's beliefs that its existing
assets and the cash expected to be generated from operations will be
sufficient during the current fiscal year are based on the following:

     As of December 31, 2004, the amount of cash, cash equivalents, and other
     current assets was equal to $2,165,000 in the aggregate.  This amount is
     equal to approximately all of the operating expenses that the Company
     incurred during the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $2,165,000 in
     current assets, and only $543,000 of current liabilities.

     As of December 31, 2004, the Company had only $64,000 of long-term
     indebtedness (net of current maturities).

The Company is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements and does not
engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.  In
addition, the Company has no financial guarantees, debt or lease agreements or
other arrangements that could trigger a requirement for an early payment or
that could change the value of the Company's assets.  Management continues to
examine various alternatives for increasing capital resources including, among
other things, participation with industry and/or private partners in drilling
and exploration prospects and specific rework of existing properties to
enhance production and expansion of its sales of crude oil and natural gas in
California.  If necessary, Pyramid could sell certain nonessential assets to
raise capital for the benefit of these programs.

The Company drilled two wells in the year ended December 31, 2004.  The
Company drilled one well in the year ended December 31, 2003.  No wells were
drilled in the year ended December 31, 2002.  The Company's crude oil reserves
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, were stable.  The Company was
able to replace current production by drilling the well in 2003.  One of the
wells drilled in 2004, during the second quarter, was not capable of producing
economic quantities of crude oil and is scheduled to be abandoned in 2005.
The other well was drilled in the fourth quarter of 2004.









<PAGE> 15

Certain properties that the Company owns have become uneconomic and have been
shut-in.  When these properties are not operated, any reserves that could be
assigned to these properties are not included in the year-end engineering
report of total Company reserves.  Another major factor that directly affects
the Company's future reserve base is the price of crude oil at December 31 of
any given year.  The year-end price of oil and gas has a significant impact on
the estimated future net recoverable oil and gas reserves from proved
developed properties.  At certain depressed price levels, some of the
Company's oil and gas properties are not economical to operate and thus its
year-end engineering reserve reports do not assign any oil and gas reserves to
these properties.  Conversely, if year-end prices should increase to a certain
level, the reserves on these leases would be economic to produce and would
increase the Company's reserves.


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Looking forward into 2005, crude oil prices have increased by $11.80 per
barrel as of March 28, 2005, compared to prices at December 31, 2004.  There
have been 47 separate price changes since December 31, 2004.

The Company's 2005 capital budget provides funds for drilling several new
developmental wells in the Company's Carneros Creek area.  Additionally, this
budget provides funds for reworking and stimulating certain existing Company
wells and for specific lease acquisitions within California.

Management has participated in discussions with another independent oil
company headquartered in Bakersfield, CA, investigating the possibility of a
joint venture exploration drilling project within California.  Management
believes that this prospect has merit and has entered into a Letter of Intent
with the other company.

The Company's growth in 2005 will be highly dependant on the amount of success
the Company has in its operations and capital investments, including the
outcome of wells that have not yet been drilled.  The Company's capital
investment program may be modified during the year due to explorations and
development successes or failures, market conditions and other variables.  The
production and sales of oil and gas involves many complex processes that are
subject to numerous uncertainties, including reservoir risk, mechanical
failures, human error and market conditions.

The Company has positioned itself, over the past several years, to withstand
various types of economic uncertainties, with a program of consolidating
operations on certain producing properties and concentrating on properties
that provide the major revenue sources.  The drilling of a new well and
several limited work-overs of certain wells have allowed the Company to
maintain its crude oil reserves for the last three years.  The Company expects
to maintain its reserve base in 2005, by drilling new wells and routine
maintenance of its existing wells.

The Company may be subject to future costs necessary for compliance with the
new implementation of air and water environmental quality requirements of the

<PAGE> 16

various state and federal governmental agencies.  The requirements and costs
are unknown at this time, but management believes that costs could be
significant in some cases.  As the scope of the requirements become more
clearly defined, management may be better equipped to determine the true costs
to the Company.

The Company continues to absorb the costs for various state and local fees and
permits under new environmental programs, the sum of which were not material
during 2004.  The Company retains outside consultants to assist the Company in
maintaining compliance with these regulations.  The  Company is actively
pursuing an ongoing policy of upgrading and restoring older properties to
comply with current and proposed environmental regulations.  The costs of
upgrading and restoring older properties to comply with environmental
regulations have not been determined.  Management believes that these costs
will not have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results
of operations.


ANALYSIS OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004
  Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2003


REVENUES

Oil and gas sales increased by 29% for the year ended December 31, 2004, when
compared with the same period for 2003.  Oil and gas sales increased by 30%
due to higher average prices for 2004.  The average price of the Company's oil
and gas increased by approximately $8.50 per equivalent barrel for 2004 when
compared to 2003.  This was offset by a decrease in crude oil production/sales
of approximately 900 barrels.


GAIN ON SALES OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company sold a well servicing hoist in the first quarter of 2004 for a
gain of approximately $134,000 and a minor piece of production equipment in
the second quarter of 2004 for a gain of $4,000.  The Company sold another
well servicing hoist in the third quarter of 2004 for a gain of approximately
$56,000.  The Company sold a piece of equipment in the third quarter of 2004,
from the category, assets held for resale, for a gain of $28,000.  The Company
also sold another piece of equipment in the fourth quarter of 2004, from the
category, assets held for resale, for a gain of $26,000.  The Company sold
three excess pickups in 2004 for a gain of $8,600.  All of the assets sold in
2004 had little or no net book values.







<PAGE> 17

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased by approximately 13% for the year ended December
31, 2004, when compared with the same period of 2003.  The cost to produce an
equivalent barrel of crude oil increased by approximately $2.20 per barrel for
2004 when compared to 2003. Operating costs for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2004, increased due to a number of differing factors.

The Company worked on a well on one of its leases in the Carneros Creek area
during 2004, increasing operating costs by approximately 6%. The work on this
well had been done to explore a different producing zone in an effort to
increase production and to test this zone for application on other wells on
this same property.  The work on this well did not generate any additional
production for this lease.

Expenses increased by 5% on a property that the Company returned to production
during the fourth quarter of 2004.  This property has been shut-in for over
two years due to problems with economically disposing of produced waste water.
As a result of the higher crude oil prices during 2004, it became economical
for the Company to cover the costs of disposing of the waste water.

Labor costs increased by approximately 2% due to increases in hourly wage
rates, overtime and the addition of one new field employee in August of 2004,
bringing the total number of field personnel from seven to eight employees.
Operating expenses were generally higher in 2004, as a result of the Company
placing greater emphasis on maintaining and enhancing crude oil production to
take advantage of the higher crude oil prices during 2004.


EXPLORATION COSTS

In April 2004, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with two oil
companies, Prime Natural Resources, LLC of Houston, Texas and North Arm
Resources, Inc. Of Wayzata, Minnesota for the drilling of a 5,500 foot
exploratory well in the Blackwell's Corner area of Kern Country California.
This drilling prospect contains approximately 1,100 acres and was developed by
employing 3-D seismic technology and geology.  The Company purchased a 25%
position in the prospect for approximately $53,000 and will be the operator.
The new well was drilled in May of 2004, with an estimated cost of
approximately $400,000 for a dry-hole look and $560,000 to complete as a
producer.  The Company's share of these costs would be 25%.  As of December
31, 2004, the Company's share of costs for drilling and competing the new well
was approximately $201,000. In the fourth quarter of 2004, a decision was made
by the Company and its joint venture partners to abandon this well.  It was
determined in the fourth quarter of 2004, that the well could not produce
economic quantities of oil and gas.  Therefore, the Company reclassified its
share of costs of $201,000 for drilling and completing this well as
exploration costs.





<PAGE> 18

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 59% for the
year ended December 31, 2004, when compared with the same period for 2003.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 49% due to the
settlement of the employment contract with J. Ben Hathaway.  Mr. Hathaway
voluntarily resigned as President of Pyramid Oil Company and pursuant to the
terms of his employment contract, he received a payment of approximately
$170,000.  General and administrative expenses also increased due to increased
administrative salaries of approximately 5%.  Legal services also increased by
approximately 2% due to additional compliance efforts required by the recently
enacted Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.


PROVISION FOR DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION
 AND VALUATION ALLOWANCES

The provision for depletion, depreciation, amortization and valuation
allowances increased by approximately 28% for the twelve months ended December
31, 2004, when compared with the same period for 2003. The increase is due
primarily to an increase of 12% in valuation allowances.  At December 31,
2004, the Company was required to provide a valuation allowance against an oil
and gas property whose book value exceeded the undiscounted net value of its
future net cash flows by approximately $21,000.  Depletion also increased by
approximately 11%.  The increase in depletion is due to an increase in the
depletion rate due to an increase in the depletable asset base at January 1,
2005 and a decline in proved developed reserves.  Depreciation of fixed assets
also increased by 5% due primarily to the replacement of fully depreciated
pickup trucks with new trucks.


OTHER INCOME

The Company sold excess tubing and sundry used oilfield supplies and
production equipment during 2004, which resulted in approximately $53,000 of
other income.


Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2003
  Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2002

REVENUES

Oil and gas sales increased by 28% for the year ended December 31, 2003, when
compared with the same period for 2002.  Oil and gas sales increased by 23%
due to higher average prices for 2003.  The average price of the Company's oil
and gas increased by approximately $4.95 per equivalent barrel for 2003 when
compared to 2002.  An increase in crude oil production/sales of approximately
3,700 barrels increased revenues by an additional 5%.  The increase in crude
oil production is due primarily to the drilling of a new well that was placed
into production at the end of June 2003.


<PAGE> 19

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased by approximately 13% for the year ended December
31, 2003, when compared with the same period of 2002.  The cost to produce an
equivalent barrel of crude oil increased by approximately $1.14 per barrel for
2003 when compared to 2002.  Operating expenses increased by 7% as a result of
fracturing procedures that were conducted on two separate wells in an attempt
to stimulate production on these wells.  The costs of the frac jobs were
approximately $74,000. Operating parts and supplies increased by approximately
5% due to a number of factors, none of which increased costs by more than 2%.
These costs tend to be cyclical in nature and can vary from year to year.
Labor costs increased by approximately 4% due primarily to an increase in
hourly wages that was effective July 1, 2003 and an increase in overtime
wages.  Insurance costs increased by approximately 2% for 2003 due primarily
to higher rates for employee health insurance, workers' compensation and
general liability premiums.


GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 14% for the
year ended December 31, 2003, when compared with the same period for 2002.
Legal services decreased by 10% during 2003.   Legal fees were higher in 2002
due to activities related to certain transactions contemplated by the Board of
Directors for the acquisition of the Company's common stock from its major
shareholders.


EXPLORATION COSTS

The amounts for 2001 represent the costs for drilling of exploratory gas wells
with several other oil and gas companies in a joint venture to explore for and
develop natural gas reserves in the Solano County area of California.  The
joint venture activities are more fully described in the Notes to Financial
Statements, No. 6, Commitments and Contingencies in Item 7 of this Form
10-KSB.  The Company did not participate in the drilling of any gas wells in
2002 with this joint venture.  The costs for 2002 represent the Company's
share of costs in a new joint venture project to explore for and develop oil
wells in the Kern County area of California.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

COSTS INCURRED IN OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES

The Company has adopted the "successful efforts" method of accounting for its
oil and gas exploration and development activities, as set forth in the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 19, as amended, issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board.

The Company initially capitalizes expenditures for oil and gas property
acquisitions until they are either determined to be successful (capable of

<PAGE> 20

commercial production) or unsuccessful.  The carrying value of all undeveloped
oil and gas properties is evaluated periodically and reduced if such carrying
value appears to have been impaired.  Leasehold costs relating to successful
oil and gas properties remain capitalized while leasehold costs which have
been proven unsuccessful are charged to operations in the period the leasehold
costs are proven unsuccessful.  Costs of carrying and retaining unproved
properties are expensed as incurred.

The costs of drilling and equipping development wells are capitalized, whether
the wells are successful or unsuccessful.  The costs of drilling and equipping
exploratory wells are capitalized until they are determined to be either
successful or unsuccessful.  If the wells are successful, the costs of the
wells remain capitalized.  If, however, the wells are unsuccessful, the
capitalized costs of drilling the wells, net of any salvage value, are charged
to operations in the period the wells are determined to be unsuccessful.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (the
Statement).  The Statement specifies when an impairment loss should be
recognized and how impairment losses should be measured for long-lived assets
to be held and used and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.  In
accordance with the Statement, the costs of proved oil and gas properties and
equipment are periodically assessed on a lease by lease basis to determine if
such costs exceed undiscounted future cash flows, and if conditions warrant an
impairment reserve will be provided based on the estimated future discounted
cash flows.  The Company recorded an impairment reserve of $21,699 at December
31, 2004.  There were no material impairment reserves recorded in the two
years ended December 31, 2003.


DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION, AND AMORTIZATION

Depletion of leasehold costs of producing oil and gas properties is provided
on the unit-of-production method, by individual property unit, based on
estimated recoverable proved reserves.  Depreciation and amortization of the
costs of producing wells and related equipment are provided on the
unit-of-production method, by individual property unit, based on estimated
recoverable proved developed reserves.  Amortization of the costs of
undeveloped oil and gas properties is based on the Company's experience,
giving consideration to the holding periods of leaseholds.  The average
depletion per equivalent barrel of crude oil produced for 2004, 2003 and 2002
were $1.50, $0.95 and $1.21, respectively.

Drilling and operating equipment, buildings, automotive, office and other
property and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over
the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the applicable lease terms (range
of 3 to 19 years).  Any permanent impairment of the carrying value of property
and equipment is provided for at the time such impairments become known.



<PAGE> 21

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, 'Inventory Costs'.  SFAS No.
151 amends the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) under the guidance in
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, 'Inventory Pricing'.  Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, previously stated that '. . . under some circumstances, items such
as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling
costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. .
.. .'  This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-
period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of 'so
abnormal'.  In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities.  This statement is effective for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, 'Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions'.  The FASB issued this Statement as a result of
the guidance provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, 'Accounting
for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions'.  SOP 04-2 applies to all real
estate time-sharing transactions.  Among other items, the SOP provides
guidance on the recording of credit losses and the treatment of selling costs,
but does not change the revenue recognition guidance in SFAS No. 66,
'Accounting for Sales of Real Estate', for real estate time-sharing
transactions.  SFAS No. 152 amends Statement No. 66 to reference the guidance
provided in SOP 04-2.  SFAS No. 152 also amends SFAS No. 67, 'Accounting for
Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects', to state that
SOP 04-2 provides the relevant guidance on accounting for incidental
operations and costs related to the sale of real estate time-sharing
transactions.  SFAS No. 152 is effective for years beginning after June 15,
2005, with restatements of previously issued financial statements prohibited.
This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, 'Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets', an amendment to Opinion No. 29, 'Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions'.  Statement No. 153 eliminates certain differences in the
guidance in Opinion No. 29 as compared to the guidance contained in standards
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  The amendment to
Opinion No. 29 eliminates the fair value exception for nonmonetary exchanges
of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for
exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  Such
an exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity
are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  SFAS No.
153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods
beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after December 16,
2004.  Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.



<PAGE> 22

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), 'Share-Based Payment'.
SFAS 123(R) amends SFAS No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation',
and APB Opinion 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees'.  SFAS
No.123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions
(including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the
financial statements.  SFAS No. 123(R) applies to all share-based payment
transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or
offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments
(except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts
based (even in part) on the price of the entity's shares or other equity
instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance
of an entity's shares or other equity instruments.  This statement is
effective, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2005.  Management is currently assessing the effect of SFAS No.
123(R) on the Company's financial statements.

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors
Pyramid Oil Company
Bakersfield, California


We have audited the balance sheets of Pyramid Oil Company as of December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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 provided 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 Pyramid Oil Company as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company changed its
method of accounting for asset retirement costs effective January 1, 2003.

As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company restated its
statements of operations.

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  DECEMBER 31, 2004


1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Pyramid Oil Company (the Company), a California Corporation, has been in the
oil and gas business continuously for 96 years since it was incorporated on
October 9, 1909.  The Company is in the business of exploration, development
and production of crude oil and natural gas.  The Company operated and has
interests in 27 oil and gas leases in Kern and Santa Barbara Counties in the
State of California.  The Company also owns oil and gas interests in Wyoming
and New York that it does not operate.  The Company grants short-term credit
to its customers and historically receives payment within 30 days.


PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES

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


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents principally consist of demand deposits and
certificates of deposits having original maturities of three months or less.


INVESTMENTS

Investments consist of certificates of deposit having original maturities of
three months or more and are valued at cost.


INVENTORY

Inventories of crude oil and condensate are valued at the lower of cost,
predominately on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or market, and include
certain costs directly related to the production process.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                  DECEMBER 31, 2004

OTHER ASSETS

Other Assets reflects the fixed assets, net of depreciation and valuation
allowances, of the Company's former well service division, that was shut-
down during 1993.  These assets are non-productive and are being held for
resale.


COSTS INCURRED IN OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES

The Company has adopted the "successful efforts" method of accounting for its
oil and gas exploration and development activities, as set forth in the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 19, as amended, issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board.

The Company initially capitalizes expenditures for oil and gas property
acquisitions until they are either determined to be successful (capable of
commercial production) or unsuccessful.  The carrying value of all undeveloped
oil and gas properties is evaluated periodically and reduced if such carrying
value appears to have been impaired.  Leasehold costs relating to successful
oil and gas properties remain capitalized while leasehold costs which have
been proven unsuccessful are charged to operations in the period the leasehold
costs are proven unsuccessful.  Costs of carrying and retaining unproved
properties are expensed as incurred.

The costs of drilling and equipping development wells are capitalized, whether
the wells are successful or unsuccessful.  The costs of drilling and equipping
exploratory wells are capitalized until they are determined to be either
successful or unsuccessful.  If the wells are successful, the costs of the
wells remain capitalized.  If, however, the wells are unsuccessful, the
capitalized costs of drilling the wells, net of any salvage value, are charged
to operations in the period the wells are determined to be unsuccessful.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (the
Statement).  The Statement specifies when an impairment loss should be
recognized and how impairment losses should be measured for long-lived assets
to be held and used and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.  In
accordance with the Statement, the costs of proved oil and gas properties and
equipment are periodically assessed on a lease by lease basis to determine if
such costs exceed undiscounted future cash flows, and if conditions warrant an
impairment reserve will be provided based on the estimated future discounted
cash flows.  The Company recorded an impairment reserve of $21,699 at December
31, 2004.  There were no material impairment reserves recorded in the two
years ended December 31, 2003.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                   DECEMBER 31, 2004


DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION, AND AMORTIZATION

Depletion of leasehold costs of producing oil and gas properties is provided
on the unit-of-production method, by individual property unit, based on
estimated recoverable proved reserves.  Depreciation and amortization of the
costs of producing wells and related equipment are provided on the
unit-of-production method, by individual property unit, based on estimated
recoverable proved developed reserves.  Amortization of the costs of
undeveloped oil and gas properties is based on the Company's experience,
giving consideration to the holding periods of leaseholds.  The average
depletion per equivalent barrel of crude oil produced for 2004, 2003 and 2002
were $1.50, $0.95 and $1.21, respectively.

Drilling and operating equipment, buildings, automotive, office and other
property and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over
the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the applicable lease terms (range
of 3 to 19 years).  Any permanent impairment of the carrying value of property
and equipment is provided for at the time such impairments become known.


MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Maintenance, repairs and replacement expenditures are charged to operations as
incurred, while major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated
over their useful lives.


RETIREMENT OR DISPOSAL OF PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

Costs and accumulated depletion, depreciation, amortization and valuation
allowances of property and equipment retired, abandoned, or otherwise disposed
of are removed from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss
is included in operations in the year of disposition.  However, upon disposal
of a portion of an oil and gas property, any proceeds received are treated as
a recovery of cost and no gain or loss is recognized in the year of
disposition.


INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing

                                   DECEMBER 31, 2004


assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the
enactment date.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company sells its crude oil to ConocoPhillips and Kern Oil & Refining,
accounting for approximately 52.2%, and 43.2%, respectively, of  Pyramid's
crude oil and gas sales in 2004.  While revenue from these customers is
significant, and the loss of any one could have a short-term adverse effect on
the Company, it is management's opinion that the oil and gas it produces could
be sold to other crude oil purchasers, refineries or pipeline companies. Trade
receivables were approximately 47% and 38% attributable to ConocoPhillips and
Kern Oil and Refining respectively at December 31, 2004. Trade receivables
were approximately 55% and 44% attributable to ConocoPhillips and Kern Oil and
Refining respectively at December 31, 2003.


IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, 'Inventory Costs'.  SFAS No.
151 amends the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) under the guidance in
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, 'Inventory Pricing'.  Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4, previously stated that '. . . under some circumstances, items such
as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling
costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. .
.. .'  This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-
period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of 'so
abnormal'.  In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed
production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities.  This statement is effective for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, 'Accounting for Real Estate
Time-Sharing Transactions'.  The FASB issued this Statement as a result of
the guidance provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, 'Accounting
for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions'.  SOP 04-2 applies to all real
estate time-sharing transactions.  Among other items, the SOP provides
guidance on the recording of credit losses and the treatment of selling costs,
but does not change the revenue recognition guidance in SFAS No. 66,
'Accounting for Sales of Real Estate', for real estate time-sharing

transactions.  SFAS No. 152 amends Statement No. 66 to reference the guidance
provided in SOP 04-2.  SFAS No. 152 also amends SFAS No. 67, 'Accounting for
Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects', to state that
SOP 04-2 provides the relevant guidance on accounting for incidental
operations and costs related to the sale of real estate time-sharing
transactions.  SFAS No. 152 is effective for years beginning after June 15,
2005, with restatements of previously issued financial statements prohibited.
This statement is not applicable to the Company.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, 'Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets', an amendment to Opinion No. 29, 'Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions'.  Statement No. 153 eliminates certain differences in the
guidance in Opinion No. 29 as compared to the guidance contained in standards
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  The amendment to
Opinion No. 29 eliminates the fair value exception for nonmonetary exchanges
of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for
exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  Such
an exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity
are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  SFAS No.
153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods
beginning after June 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after December 16,
2004.  Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), 'Share-Based Payment'.
SFAS 123(R) amends SFAS No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation',
and APB Opinion 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees'.  SFAS
No.123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions
(including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the
financial statements.  SFAS No. 123(R) applies to all share-based payment
transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or
offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments
(except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts
based (even in part) on the price of the entity's shares or other equity
instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance
of an entity's shares or other equity instruments.  This statement is
effective, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2005.  Management is currently assessing the effect of SFAS No.
123(R) on the Company's financial statements.

included in federal income tax rules.  The amounts by which these differences
and other factors cause the total income tax provision to differ from an
amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to financial
income is set forth in the following reconciliation:

At December 31, 2004, a valuation allowance has been provided against a
significant portion of the deferred tax assets generated by net operating loss
carryforwards and the statutory depletion carryover due to the uncertainty of
their future utilization.

approximately $1,046,000, which expire, to the extent not used, starting in
2004 through 2022.  For California franchise tax purposes, as of December 31,
2004 the Company has unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$237,000, a portion of which expire each year starting in 2004.

4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTION

Effective January 1, 1990, John H. Alexander, an officer and director of the
Company participated with a group of investors that acquired the mineral and
fee interest on one of the Company's oil and gas leases (Santa Fe Energy
lease) in the Carneros Creek field after the Company declined to participate.
The thirty-three percent interest owned by Mr. Alexander represents a minority
interest in the investor group.  Royalties on oil and gas production from this
property paid to the investor group approximated $143,000, $122,000 and
$100,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

On January 14, 2000, pursuant to specific terms, conditions and obligations
contained within the May 1984 oil and gas lease between Santa Fe Energy
Company as lessor and Pyramid Oil Company as lessee, Pyramid quit-claimed all
unearned acreage in said lease back to the lessors.  Under the terms of the
lease, Pyramid retained specific producing intervals within 10 acre spacings
surrounding each well bore.

Effective April 1, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 36.5 % working
interest in the Santa Fe oil and gas lease in the Carneros Creek field
and working interests (approximately 36.5%) in two other leases in the same
area from the investor group noted above.  The investor group acquired these
working interests from the Company's former joint venture partner in these
three oil and gas leases as the result of a court ordered settlement agreement
concluding litigation between the investor group and the joint venture
partner.  The investor group sold the working interests to the Company for
$217,000.  Mr. John H. Alexander, Vice President of the Company, owns a
thirty-three percent interest in the investor group.  The Company had notes
payable to the investor group in the amount of $108,502 at the end of December
31, 2002, of which $108,502 was paid-off on the notes payable in 2003.

As a director, Mr. Alexander has abstained from voting on any of the above
matters that have been brought before the Board of Directors, involving the
Santa Fe lease.


5. FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company reclassified its investment in
the costs of drilling and completing a well that was drilled in June of 2004.
The costs of drilling this well were capitalized during the second and third
quarters of 2004.  A decision was made in the fourth quarter of 2004 to
abandon the well, by the Company and its joint-venture partners in the
drilling of this well.  The Company's share of the costs for this well in the
amount of $201,000 were charged to exploration costs in the fourth quarter of

                                 PYRAMID OIL COMPANY
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                  DECEMBER 31, 2004

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company made a payment to J. Ben
Hathaway, the former President of the Company, under the terms of the
employment contract with Mr. Hathaway and the Company.  Mr. Hathaway
voluntarily resigned as President of Pyramid Oil Company and pursuant to the
terms of his employment contract, he received a payment of approximately
$170,000 in December of 2004.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company made adjustments to the
carrying value of one of its oil and gas properties.  The Company recorded a
valuation allowance in the amount of $20,699 to reflect the change in the
projected future undiscounted net cash flows for this property, as the
result of the analysis of the Company's oil and gas reserves by independent
consultants.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company adjusted the liability for
asset retirement obligation due to a change in the remaining life of certain
of its oil and gas properties.  These changes were based on adjustments made
to the Company's oil and gas reserves by independent consultants.  The effect
of these adjustments was to decrease net income by approximately $36,000 in
the fourth quarter of 2003.


6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is liable for future dismantlement and abandonment costs
associated with its oil and gas properties.  These costs include down-hole
plugging and abandonment of wells, future site restoration, post closure and
other environmental exit costs.  The costs of future dismantlement and
abandonment have been accrued and recorded in the financial statements.  See
Note 9, Change in Accounting Principles.

The Company is subject to potential litigation within the normal course of
business.  In management's opinion, the resolution of such litigation would
not have a material adverse effect upon the financial position of the Company,
although the resolution in any reporting period of such litigation could have
a material impact on Pyramid's results of operations for that period.

The Company has entered into various employment agreements with key executive
employees.  In the event the key executives are dismissed, the Company would
incur approximately $870,000 in costs as of December 31, 2004.


7.  OTHER INCOME

The Company sold a well servicing hoist in the first quarter of 2004 for a
gain of approximately $134,000 and a minor piece of production equipment in
the second quarter of 2004 for a gain of $4,000.  The Company sold another
well servicing hoist in the third quarter of 2004 for a gain of approximately
$56,000.  The Company sold a piece of equipment in the third quarter of 2004,

                                  DECEMBER 31, 2004

from the category, assets held for resale, for a gain of $28,000.  The Company
also sold a surplus piece of equipment in the fourth quarter of 2004, from the
category, assets held for resale, for a gain of $26,000.  The Company sold
three excess pickups in 2004 for a gain of $8,600.  All of the assets sold in
2004 had little or no net book values.

The Company sold surplus tubing and sundry used oilfield supplies and
production equipment during 2004, which resulted in approximately $53,000 of
other income.


8.  DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution plan (Simple IRA) available to all
employees meeting certain service requirements.  Employees may contribute up
to a maximum of $6,000 of their compensation to the plan.  The Company will
make a contribution to the plan in an amount equal to the employees
contributions up to 3% of their salaries.  Contributions of $11,849, $11,052
and $10,587 were made during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.


(9) CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,
''Accounting for Assets Retirement Obligations'', effective January 1, 2003,
the Company changed its method of accounting for asset retirement obligations
(ARO) relating to well abandonment costs from expensing such costs in the year
the wells are abandoned to recording a liability when such costs are incurred
in order to provide a better matching of revenue and expenses and to improve
interim financial reporting.

Upon adoption of SFAS 143, the Company was required to recognize a liability
for the present value of all legal obligations associated with the retirement
of tangible long-lived assets and an asset retirement cost was capitalized as
part of the carrying value of the associated asset. Upon initial application
of SFAS 143, a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle was also
required in order to recognize a liability for any existing ARO's adjusted for
cumulative accretion, an increase to the carrying amount of the associated
long-lived asset and accumulated depreciation on the capitalized cost.

Subsequent to initial measurement, liabilities are required to be accreted to
their present value each period and capitalized costs are depreciated over the
estimated useful life of the related assets. Upon settlement of the liability,
the Company will settle the obligation against its recorded amount and will
record any resulting gain or loss. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 143 on
January 1, 2003, the Company recorded a $290,450 and $225,983 increase in the
capitalized cost and accumulated depreciation, respectively, of its oil and
gas properties.

                                  DECEMBER 31, 2004

The effect of these changes for the twelve months ending December 31, 2004 and
2003, resulted in a decrease in income from continuing operations of $23,957
and $59,698, respectively.  The cumulative effect of these changes on years
prior to January 1, 2003, approximately $810,115 ($0.23 per common share), has
been charged to operations in 2003.  The effect on net income of this change
in accounting methods is as follows:

</Table>

There are no legally restricted assets for the settlement of asset retirement
obligations.  No income tax is applicable to the asset retirement obligation
as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, because the Company records a valuation
allowance on net operating losses and deductible temporary differences due to
the uncertainty of its realization.

A reconciliation of the Company's asset retirement obligations from the
periods presented are as follows:

The foregoing estimates have been prepared by the Company from data prepared
by an independent petroleum engineer in respect to certain producing
properties.  Revisions in previous estimates as set forth above resulted from
analysis of new information, as well as from additional production experience
or from a change in economic factors.

The reserve estimates are believed to be reasonable and consistent with
presently known physical data concerning size and character of the reservoirs
and are subject to change as additional knowledge concerning the reservoirs
becomes available.

Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil
and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves.  Estimated future
development and production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures
to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves, as
well as certain abandonment costs, based on year-end cost estimates and
assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.  Estimated future
income tax expense is calculated by applying the year-end effective tax rate
to estimated future pretax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas
reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved.

                        SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
                                  DECEMBER 31, 2004


These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Because of the unpredictable variances in expenses and capital
forecasts, crude oil and natural gas price changes being largely influenced
and controlled by United States and foreign governmental actions, and the fact
that the basis for such estimates vary significantly, management believes the
usefulness of these projections is limited.  Estimates of future net cash
flows do not represent management's assessment of future profitability or
future actual cash flows of the Company.

It should be recognized that applying current costs and prices and a ten
percent standard discount rate allows for comparability but does not convey
absolute value.  The discounted amounts arrived at are only one measure of
financial quantification of proved reserves.

The increase in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
at December 31, 2004, of $26,000 is the result of several factors, both
positive and offsetting negative factors.  Sales of oil and gas, net of
production costs reduced future cash flows by approximately $1,292,000.  The
recognition of future abandonment costs decreased future cash flows by
$730,000.  This was offset by an increase in future cash flows due to higher
crude oil prices at December 31, 2004 and the recognition of proved developed
non-producing reserves at December 31, 2004.

The increase in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
at December 31, 2003, of $292,000 is due primarily to higher crude oil
prices at year end.  The changes in crude oil prices at the end of each year
has a significant impact on the valuation of the Company's reserves and
discounted future net cash flows.  Higher crude oil prices at the end of 2003
increased the discounted future net cash flows by approximately $690,000 due
to revisions of previous quantity estimates and by $952,000 due to price
changes.  This was offset by the recognition of future abandonment costs of
$736,000.

The increase in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows
at December 31, 2002, of $3,075,000 is due primarily to higher crude oil
prices at year end.  The changes in crude oil prices at the end of each year
has a significant impact on the valuation of the Company's reserves and
discounted future net cash flows.  Higher crude oil prices at the end of 2002
increased the discounted future net cash flows by approximately $2,494,000 due
to revisions of previous quantity estimates and by $1,588,000 due to price
changes.

ITEM 11 - SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
            AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The Company hereby incorporates by reference the information to be contained
under the section entitled "Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof"
or a similarly entitled section from its definitive Proxy Statement to be

Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

ITEM 12 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Effective January 1, 1990, John H. Alexander, an officer and director of the
Company participated with a group of investors that acquired the mineral and
fee interest on one of the Company's oil and gas leases (Santa Fe Energy
lease) in the Carneros Creek field after the Company declined to participate.
The thirty-three percent interest owned by Mr. Alexander represents a minority
interest in the investor group.  Royalties on oil and gas production from this
property paid to the investor group approximated $143,000 in 2004, $122,000 in
2003 and $100,000 in 2002.

On January 14, 2000, pursuant to specific terms, conditions and obligations
contained within the May 1984 oil and gas lease between Santa Fe Energy
Company as lessor and Pyramid Oil Company as lessee, Pyramid quit-claimed all
unearned acreage in said lease back to the lessors.  Under the terms of the
lease, Pyramid retained specific producing intervals within 10 acre spacings
surrounding each well bore.

Effective April 1, 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 36.5% working
interest in the Santa Fe oil and gas lease in the Carneros Creek field
and working interests (approximately 36.5%) in two other leases in the same
area from the investor group noted above.  The investor group acquired these
working interests from the Company's former joint venture partner in these
three oil and gas leases as the result of a court ordered settlement agreement
concluding litigation between the investor group and the joint venture
partner.  The investor group sold the working interests to the Company for
$217,000.  Mr. John H. Alexander, Vice President of the Company, owns a
thirty-three percent interest in the investor group.  The Company had notes
payable to the investor group in the amount of $108,502 at the end of December
31, 2002, of which $108,502 was paid-off on the notes payable in 2003.

As a director, Mr. Alexander has abstained from voting on any of the above
matters that have been brought before the Board of Directors, involving the
Santa Fe lease.
