                              PART I
          ITEM 1. - HISTORY AND BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated in Michigan in 1979 and commenced
business in 1980. Originally, the Company was formed as a passive
investor in oil and gas drilling ventures with Reef Petroleum
Corporation (RPC) which was the operator of the wells drilled.
However, in September of 1983, RPC filed a Chapter 11 Petition in
the Bankruptcy Court of the Western District of Michigan and
since then has liquidated all of its assets in a final bankruptcy
action. In 1986, the Company's involvement with RPC was
terminated.

During 1987, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with
Penteco Corporation to analyze the Company's financial position
and provide management services to the Company. The Agreement
called for an 18 month option to Penteco to purchase an
additional 1,000,000 shares at $.31 per share and a 36 month
option to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares at $.50 per
share. In 1990, the Management Agreement was extended for a three
year period through September, 1993. Penteco has exercised part
of their option for 1,000,000 shares at $.31 per share. Effective
January 1993, the Management Agreement with Penteco Corporation
was terminated, and those responsible for management duties
became salaried employees or advisors to the Company.

In an exchange of shares in 1987, the Company purchased from
Penteco a 12% interest in the general partners portion of the
1985-A Limited Partnership (Penteco East Central Pipeline) and
from Penteco a 10% interest in Lincoln Gas and Oil Marketing
Corporation for a total price of $290,000. Penteco East Central
Pipeline is a gas gathering and transmission system located in
the area of Southern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma. In 1991,
Penteco East Central Pipeline was sold to Consolidated Capital of
North America. Penteco received, and is holding for the benefit
of the partnership, 450,000 shares of $1.00 preferred stock of
Consolidated Capital. In addition, Penteco acquired for the
partnership, a 10 percent working interest after debt service in
the Tulare Lakes Field from Chevron. Lincoln Gas and Oil
Marketing Corporation is located in Boston, Massachusetts and is
involved in the development and supply of gas to co-generation
facilities. In a restructuring of Lincoln Gas and Oil Marketing,
Penteco provided an opportunity for General Energy to increase
its holdings to 20 percent of Lincoln Gas and Oil Marketing and
also to receive a 10 percent interest in Eastern Pacific Energy
Corporation located in Los Angeles, California. During 1989 and
1992, the Company determined the value of these investments have
suffered permanent declines of $185,000 and $103,950
respectively. Consequently, these investments are now carried at
a value of $1,050.

It is the Company's intention to continue to drill or participate
in the drilling of exploratory and development wells in the state
of Michigan, in an effort to develop its oil and gas reserves. 

During 1996, the Company participated in and operated a Niagaran
well in Grand Traverse County which was completed and tested and
later plugged as noncommercial. The Company also made plans to
extend the horizontal hole on a well in Otsego County in order to
improve production.

              DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

  Identification of Prospects and Prospect Acquisition
The Company will, as in the past, selectively maintain its lease
inventory on the basis of its own information, the interpretation
of the Company's seismic, geological and geophysical information
and such additional information as may be acquired. The Company
also is actively seeking and participating in exploration
projects with other companies by purchasing working interest on a
selective basis.

The following table provides information as to the expiration of
the Company's leases (assuming extension by payment of delay
rentals to the extent possible); and is intended to supply
information required pursuant to industry Guide 2 Paragraph 5.
All of the following leases are located in the state of Michigan.
                                          Acres
     Years of Expiration           Gross            Net
     ___________________           ____________________
           1996                    332.203     200.000
           1997                    160.000      40.000
           1998                      0.000       0.000
           1999                      0.000       0.000

  Geology - Seismic Testing
The Company prefers, where possible, to act on the basis of
geophysical as well as geological information. A seismic survey
of the areas covered by its inventory of leases is undertaken and
evaluated. The Company's Geology Department seeks to utilize both
seismic and geological data (primarily the results from nearby
drilling) to locate geological traps which may contain
hydrocarbons.

  Drilling, Completion and Operations of Producing Wells
1.   During 1996, the Company participated in 1 development
prospect, which was not successful. 
2.   The rights and obligations of the Company, as operator, are
governed by a Lease Development Agreement (or, in the case of a
participation commencing with the acquisition of the lease, a
Lease Acquisition and Development Agreement) and a Standard
Operating Agreement which provides for the allocation of costs,
including specified amounts to defray the Company's
nonspecifically identifiable costs based upon the depth of the
well and other scheduled factors.
3.   During 1996, the Company's Exploration Department supervised
the drilling and completion of its wells; which included downhole
completion as well as selecting the surface handling facilities
to measure and separate out water and gas from oil, providing the
connections to the gas pipelines and the storage tanks for oil
and installing meters to measure production.

  Marketing
Production from the Company's royalty and working interests is
marketed by the operator of the well, generally to a major oil
company or gas utility.

In the twelve month period ending December 31, 1996, the
following purchasers accounted for more than 10 percent of the
Company's oil and gas revenues:

     Shell Oil           36%       Total Petroleum     14%
     Mosbacher Energy    19%       Delta Oil Company   11%

Other purchasers of the Company's oil and gas production include
Michigan Consolidated Gas, Tenexco and Peninsular Oil and Gas.

Substantially all gas sales are made under long term contracts
with the above utilities. These contracts may relate either to
the reserves from a specified well or wells or to those to be
developed from specified acreage and generally obligate the
utility to take or pay for specified annual quantities, typically
in amounts sufficient to account for the bulk of the reserves
within ten years or less. The contracts normally extend for a
term substantially co-extensive with the life of the reserves and
provide for periodic price adjustments, which usually involve
annual or more frequent price increases on the basis of specified
percentage or dollar increments and may also involve provision
for increases or price limitations based on the prices paid to
others for natural gas or alternative fuels or those permitted
generally to be paid for natural gas pursuant to government price
regulations. The Company has no reason to believe that any of the
contracts for the sale of gas will be voided. Oil is sold under
less structured arrangements and at posted prices more
immediately responsive to market conditions.

  Contracts, Accounting and Related Functions
The Company handles the following procedures concerning the
drilling of new wells: Contract negotiations, price
determinations, government compliance, including, for example,
NGPA-FERC gas well filings, maintenance of computerized records
providing ownership and revenue distribution data on a well-by-
well and owner-by-owner basis. The Company generates and
distributes monthly reports containing information as to daily
production and sales together with, in the case of working
interest owners, operating statements detailing expenses.

  Employees
The Company began employing certain accounting and operations
personnel in March, 1983. The Company presently has employees in
the executive, geology and land, data processing, accounting and
operations areas. The Company will also utilize third party
contractors for needed services. None of the Company's employees
are represented by a labor union or collective bargaining agent.
Relations with the employees are good. There have been no work
stoppages associated with labor disputes or grievances.

As of January 1, 1997, there are four employees of the Company.

  Competition
The Company competes with major oil companies, independent
operators and others in acquiring drilling prospects, in
contracting for oil and gas field services and equipment, in
selling oil and gas production and in securing trained personnel.

The Company is not a significant factor in the oil and gas
business even within the limited geographic area in which its
operations are conducted.

                       ITEM 2. - PROPERTIES

  Oil and Gas Reserves
The Company has not filed estimates of its oil and gas reserves
with any Federal Agency other than the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The reserve information set forth in this section has
been compiled from estimates made by the independent engineering
firm of K&A Energy Consultants, Inc., Tulsa, Oklahoma in a report
dated January 1, 1992 (and updated January 1, 1996 internally) on
an unescalated basis for the Companies most productive 16 wells
and from the independent engineering firm of Evan, Carey and
Crozier, Bakersfield, California in a report dated July 24, 1989
and revised August 1, 1993 by Basim Ziara, Petroleum Engineering
Consultants for the companies production purchase and operations
in California. The remaining reserve figures are from a report
dated January 1, 1988 and revised January 1, 1997 internally
based on 1988 through 1996 production history changes, if any,
and the acquisition and sale of production properties. The
Company removed all reserve estimates from the Tulare Lakes Field
in California and added reserves for the St. Dover & House #1-33A
well in Otsego County, Michigan.

        ITEM 7. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Liquidity/Capital Resources
Net cash from operating activities for the Company as of the
three most recent year-ends is as follows:

                            1996     1995      1994
                            ____     ____      ____
    Cash Flows            (34,315) 333,180   (89,695)

The Company has generated cash flow from operations, bank
borrowings and the funds derived from its initial public offering
in 1981, which yielded $3.7 million. Private sales from stock and
the exercise of options have provided additional working capital.

In June 1989, one of the Company's major trade creditors,
Mosbacher Energy Company (MEC), filed an operator's lien against
various properties in which the Company owns a working interest
and for which the Company owed MEC operating expenses. The liens
resulted in the curtailment of revenue from these properties. A
repayment plan was negotiated and on June 1, 1990, the Company
signed a $292,814 promissory note with MEC for the amount owed
MEC by General Energy Corporation for well operations as of May
7, 1990. The note is secured by the Company's interest in eleven
producing properties operated by MEC and bears interest at 7 1/4
percent per annum. The terms of the agreement call for a monthly
payment to Mosbacher Energy Company of the lesser of $20,000 or
one months production of the secured properties.

In August of 1991, the Company borrowed $350,000 from Huntington
Banks of Michigan. The note was secured by the personal
guarantees of H. Terry Snowday and Edgar R. Puthuff, directors of
the Company. Interest was payable monthly at one percent over the
bank prime rate.

Proceeds from this note were loaned to American Barter Petroleum,
Inc. to be used in a production property purchase in California.
Interest is due at one percent over prime and principal is paid
back out of production according to a predetermined schedule. In
exchange for this loan, the Company received a 25 percent
interest in net revenue.

Both notes were paid in full in October, 1992.

In 1991, the Company recorded approximately $875,500 of long-term
debt on the Tulare Lakes Field. This represents a 25% share of
the outstanding debt on the field. This is a non recourse debt.
General Energy is not a party to the purchase contract between
Chevron, Penteco and American Barter. The Company's 25% interest
was to be paid from Penteco Corporation's working interest
percentage, net of expenses. As of December 31, 1995, the total
revenue from the field continued to be less than the total
expenses with no expectation of improvement within the next
twelve months. Management determined the asset and liability to
be unrealistically presented on the financial statements and the
outstanding debt balance of $908,410 which included accrued
interest and the asset balance of $717,288, net of accumulated
DD&A, were written off.

The Company has been able to satisfy its long-term debt
commitments. Trade accounts payable total $464,012 at December
31, 1996. A large portion of the accounts payable are for
services provided by companies that have been very tolerant
regarding timing of payment for these services.

The monthly operating cost for direct obligations for rent of the
Company's office space will be $775.00. Management is aware that
it has limited capital resources available with which to continue
a lease acquisition/exploration program. Evaluation of various
investment alternatives will continue to be made on a case-by-
case and/or well-by-well basis, and commitments will be made as
funds permit.

Management believes cash flow from the sale of its currently
producing oil and gas properties as well as projects being
completed in 1997, should be sufficient to pay current operating
liabilities and to amortize the current portion of the long-term
debt.

Management has developed contingency plans to obtain additional
capital by the issuance of debt or sale of equities to the extent
that these actions become necessary in the future.

The price that the Company received for oil during 1996 ranged
from $16.15 to $24.40. The posted price for crude oil is at
$19.15 per barrel as of March 31, 1997. There is uncertainty as
to the price of oil over the next twelve months.

While the sale of gas remains subject to NGPA regulated pricing
policies, it is recognized that certain concessions must be made
as to contractual pricing to insure that the Company's gas
reserves remain a competitive alternative fuel.

The Company's total revenues decreased $495,215 from $753,294 at
December 31, 1995 to $258,079 at December 31, 1996 and is largely
the result of revenue from the Tulare Lakes Field which was
recorded as oil and gas income in 1995 but, discontinued in 1996.

Total expenses decreased ($147,980) from $561,706 at December 31,
1995 to $413,726 at December 31, 1996. Again, this decrease was
largely the result of operating expenses and depreciation,
depletion and amortization for the Tulare Lakes Field which were
recorded in 1995, but discontinued in 1996.

The cost incurred in oil and gas property acquisitions,
exploration and development activities for the year ended
December 31, 1996 totaled $84,797 and capitalized costs related
to oil and gas producing activities as of December 31, 1996
totaled $284,765 as compared to $29,117 and $338,551 respectively
in 1995.

       General Energy Resources and Technology Corporation
                          and Subsidiary
            Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements
                 December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

  NOTE 1
  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  Consolidated Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
General Energy Resources and Technology Corporation (a Michigan
Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, G.E.N.Y.
Operations, Inc. (a California Corporation) which was formed in
1993. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

  Oil & Gas Property and Equipment
The Company utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting
for its oil and gas exploration and development program. Under
this method of accounting, costs of drilling and completing
successful wells are capitalized, while costs of dry holes are
charged to expense when incurred. Depletion and amortization of
producing leasehold and mineral interests and related intangible
development costs are provided by the unit-of-production method
based on estimates of recoverable oil and gas reserves prepared
by independent petroleum engineers. Lease and well equipment is
depreciated over its estimated useful life (seven years) by the
straight-line method.

Costs of non-producing leasehold and mineral interests are not
amortized but, are charged to operations when such properties are
abandoned, surrendered, determined to be worthless, or
transferred to producing properties and depleted when
successfully developed.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold,
retired or otherwise disposed of, applicable costs and
accumulated depreciation and depletion are removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.

  Interest Capitalization
Interest costs applicable to the drilling and equipment of
in-progress and shut-in oil and gas wells are capitalized until
such time as the wells begin producing.

  Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

No income taxes have been paid during 1996, 1995, or 1994.
Interest paid (net of amounts capitalized) amounted to $3,945
during 1996, $4,211 during 1995 and $84,660 for 1994.

  Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents (stock options and
warrants) were antidilutive in 1995, 1994 and 1993.

  NOTE 2
  BUSINESS OPERATIONS, SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS, AND CREDIT RISK
General Energy Resources and Technology Corporation (the
"Company", formerly Reef Energy Corporation) was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Michigan in June, 1979 for the
purpose of investing in oil and gas exploration and production.
Effective June 1987, the Board of Directors and stockholders
changed the name of the Company to General Energy Resources and
Technology Corporation. The Company and its predecessors have
been engaged in the exploration, development and production of
oil and gas. The operations are conducted entirely within the
United States.

The Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, G.E.N.Y.
Operations, Inc. in 1993 to function as the operator for the
Tulare Lakes Field in Kings County, California. As operator, al
revenues and expenses are passed on to the working interest
owners, and the subsidiary therefore, shows no profit or loss. At
December 31, 1995, total assets and liabilities were $461,838 and
$451,838 respectively. In August of 1996, G.E.N.Y. Operations,
Inc., was sold to Penteco Corporation.

During 1996, sales to two major customers accounted for 36 and 19
percent of total revenues. During 1995, sales to two major
customers accounted for 49, and 14 percent of total revenues.
During 1994, sales to two major customers accounted for 50 and 15
percent of total revenues.

  NOTE 3
  INVESTMENTS
In 1987, the Company purchased from Penteco Corporation (a
related party), a 12% interest (3.36% overall interest) in the
general partner's portion of the Penteco East Central pipeline
1985-A limited partnership and a 10% interest in Lincoln Gas &
Oil Marketing Corporation in exchange for Company stock valued at
a total price of $290,000. Penteco East Central Pipeline was
initially a gas gathering and transmission system located in the
area of Southern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma. Lincoln Gas and
Oil Marketing Corporation is located in Boston, Massachusetts and
is involved in the development and supply of gas to cogeneration
facilities.

During 1989 and 1992, the Company determined the value of these
investments have suffered permanent declines of $185,000 and
$103,950 respectively. Consequently, these investments are now
carried by management at a value of $1,050.

  NOTE 4
  NOTES PAYABLE
Unsecured loan payable to a related party shareholder. At
December 31, 1995, this represented a non interest bearing loan
to G.E.N.Y. Operations in 1993 to cover Society Bank loan
payments which were left unpaid by the prior operator of the
Tulare Lakes Field. Also, G.E.N.Y. Operations signed a line of
credit with Society Bank. It is personally guaranteed by several
of the directors. Interest is being charged at two percent above
the prime rate and the note was due May, 1996. In August of 1996,
the Company sold it's subsidiary, G.E.N.Y. Operations to Penteco
Corporation.

At December 31, 1996, this represents money loaned to the Company
for ongoing legal expenses. Interest on the note is 10% per annum
and the note is due on or before December 31, 1998.

                                       =========    =========

On June 1, 1990, the Company signed a $292,814 promissory note
with Mosbacher Energy Company (MEC) for the amount owed MEC by
General Energy Corporation for well operations as of May 7, 1990.
The note is secured by the Company's interest in eleven producing
properties operated by MEC and bears interest at 7 1/4 percent
per annum. Additional terms of the agreement call for monthly
payments of the lesser of $20,000 or the month's production to
MEC. Based on current production estimates, management expects to
reduce this loan by approximately $250 per month.

  NOTE 7
  RELATED PARTIES
The Company recorded approximately $18,000 and $28,000 in
management fees during 1992 and 1991 respectively to Penteco. The
management fees were for preparation of a business plan and
ongoing management throughout the year in accordance with the
management agreement dated March 13, 1987, between the Company
and Penteco. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has a liability
to Penteco of $13,262 for management fees and out-of-pocket
costs. The Company and Penteco have mutual directors. As of
January 1, 1993, the agreement expired.

As of January 1, 1993, Terry Snowday is to receive an annual
salary of $20,000, and Charles Taylor is to receive an annual
consulting fee of $10,000. At December 31, 1996, amounts accrued
but not paid to Snowday and Taylor are $53,692 and $20,000 
respectfully. As of January 1, 1995, Charles Taylor resigned as
consultant to General Energy. As of March 8, 1996, Terry Snowday
was placed on lay-off and is paid $10 per hour as needed.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 3, Company stock was exchanged with
Penteco in 1987 for investments in Penteco East Pipeline and
Lincoln Gas & Oil Marketing Corporation. Penteco is the general
partner in Penteco East Pipeline. Penteco and Lincoln Gas and Oil
have mutual directors.

The Company received an interest in the general partner's
interest of Penteco East Pipeline. However, the Company does not
receive a K-1 for this investment even though the partnership has
been active and has had income. It is the understanding of
management that the Company is not a general partner even though
they purchased a portion of the general partners interest. There
is no written agreement explaining how profits, losses,
distributions, liabilities, etc. are to be divided regarding the
Company's interest in the general partner's interest.

In 1991, the Company loaned $350,000 to American Barter. American
Barter agreed to repay this loan, with interest at the Company's
borrowing rate and to assign a 25% working interest in the Tulare
Lakes Field. The Tulare Lakes Field was purchased from Chevron by
Penteco and American Barter in 1991. The Agreement between
Chevron and Penteco and American Barter states that the note owed
to Chevron will be repaid from production from the Tulare Lakes
Field. If production does not cover debt payments, General Energy
is not liable to Chevron or other third parties. The Company
booked 25% of the purchase price as proved oil and gas
properties, approximately $875,900. The Company also recorded 25%
of the liabilities for Penteco and American Barter's purchase of
the fields along with 25% of American Barter's $350,000 debt to
General Energy, borrowed for costs of revitalizing the field.
During 1992 and 1993, additional debt has been recorded for
Society Bank loans used to pay off the original $350,000, and for
operating expenses and accrued interest. In 1993, the Company
sold a 1% interest to Richard Calvert, a company shareholder, for
$10,000. As of December 31, 1995, management determined the
Company's 25% interest to be misrepresented on the Financial
Statements and the asset and related liability were written off.

The Company sold working interests to several major shareholders
and directors during 1996. Accounts receivable from these related
parties totaled $31,523 at December 31, 1996, while related party
accounts payable amounted to $8,381. No interest has been accrued
on any of the above amounts.

  NOTE 8
  STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
The Company had a outstanding Stock Option Agreement with an
employee to purchase 100,000 shares of General Energy stock for
$.25 per share. This Agreement expired on January 5, 1993.

  NOTE 9
  CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The prices of the Company's natural gas production are subject to
the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC). The Company believes it has substantially complied with
regulations as issued.

In the normal course of business, the Company makes various
commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities that are
not presented in the accompanying financial statements. The
Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these
commitments and contingent liabilities.

  NOTE 10
  LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company entered into a 24 month Lease Agreement for it's
office facilities on February 1, 1996. This lease requires
payments of $775 per month.

  NOTE 11
  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company continues to have a working capital deficit and
declining cash flows from existing oil and gas operations. The
Company anticipates that cash flows will be generated in 1996
from two projects being completed in 1997 in which the Company
retains a working interest.

On June 2, 1995, a lawsuit was filed in Kings County, California,
against General Energy and its subsidiary, G.E.N.Y. Operations,
Inc. by Kings County Development Limited and J.G. Boswell
Company.

As a result, and to protect the corporation against ongoing legal
expenses, on March 25, 1996, the Company and its subsidiary filed
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Company emerged from Chapter 11 in 1996 and transferred it's
ownership in G.E.N.Y. Operations, Inc. to Penteco Corporation.
The litigation involving the companies and Kings County
Development, Ltd. and J.G. Boswell has been resolved.

  NOTE 13
  "SUPPLEMENTAL" OIL AND GAS RESERVES INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The following tables present the Company's estimate of its proved
oil and gas reserves and future net cash flows. The Company
emphasizes that reserve and related future net cash flow
estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new
discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and
gas properties. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change
as future information becomes available. The Company has received
reports from independent petroleum reservoir engineers for a
portion of their reserves through January 2, 1992. The Company's
staff geologist along with K&A Energy Consultants and Evan, Carey
and Crozier Engineering, has updated these reserve estimates
through December 1991. All estimates for December 1993, 1994 and
1995 have been updated by the Company's staff geologist without
the assistance of independent petroleum engineers. The Company
has prepared the following tables to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission's disclosure
regulations. Estimated net quantities of proved developed oil and
gas reserves attributable to working interests for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 are as follows (all
reserves are located in the United States):

                                      Oil (Bbls)   Gas (Mcf)

                 ITEM 13. - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS

There are no family relationships between the officers and/or
directors of the Company other than Edward A. Ward II is a
brother-in-law of H. Terry Snowday.

Director Charles W. Taylor is President, Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of Penteco Corporation and Chairman
of the Board of Lincoln Gas and Oil Marketing Corporation.

In 1987, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with
Penteco Corporation to analyze the Company's financial position
and provide management services to the Company. Mr. Charles
Taylor, a director of the Company, owns 25% of the outstanding
shares of Penteco and is a director and officer of that Company.
Director's Snowday, Puthuff and Ward are minority investors in
Penteco Corporation. Mr. Taylor abstained from voting for the
Management Agreement considering his position with Penteco.
Effective January 1993, the Management Agreement with Penteco
Corporation was terminated and those responsible for management
duties became salaried employees or advisors to the Company.

In July of 1990, Penteco Corporation agreed to accept 1,891,182
shares of General Energy Resources and Technology Corporation
stock as payment for management fees for the period November,
1987 to May, 1990 totaling $94,559.10. The Company had a two year
buy-back option and in September 1992, the Company repurchased
the 1,891,182 shares of General Energy Corporation stock at $.06
per share. The Company then issued 886,040 shares at $.20 to
replace the shares purchased and as payment for additional
management fees accrued through August, 1992.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company has a liability to Penteco
of $13,262 for management fees and out-of-pocket costs.

In 1991, the Company loaned $350,000 to American Barter. American
Barter agreed to repay this loan, with interest at the Company's
borrowing rate and to assign a 25% working interest in the Tulare
Lakes Field. The Tulare Lakes Field was purchased from Chevron by
Penteco and American Barter in 1991. The agreement between
Chevron and Penteco and American Barter states that the note owed
to Chevron will be repaid from production from the Tulare Lakes
Field. If production does not cover debt payments, General Energy
is not liable to Chevron or other third parties. The Company
booked 25% of the purchase price as proved oil and gas
properties, approximately $875,900. The Company also recorded 25%
of the liabilities for Penteco and American Barter's purchase of
the field along with 25% of American Barter's $350,000 debt to
General Energy, borrowed for costs of revitalizing the field.
During 1992, and 1993, additional debt has been recorded for
Society Bank loans used to pay off the original $350,000 and for
operating expenses and accrued interest. In 1993, the Company
sold a 1% interest to a company shareholder for $10,000. The
Company's 25% interest was to be paid from Penteco Corporation's
working interest percentage, net of expenses. As of December 31,
1995, the total revenue from the field continued to be less than
the total expenses with no expectation of improvement within the
next twelve months. Management determined the asset and liability
to be unrealistically presented on the financial statements and
the outstanding debt balance of $908,410 which included accrued
interest and the asset balance of $717,288, net of accumulated
DD&A, were written off.

The Company sold several turnkey working interests to major
shareholders and directors during 1996. Accounts receivable from
these related parties totaled $31,523 at December 31, 1996 while
related party accounts payable amounted to $8,381. No interest
has been accrued on any of the above amounts.
