"Company"  refers  to  CityView   Corporation   Limited,  a  Western  Australian
corporation, and its subsidiaries.

         The Company publishes its consolidated  financial  statements expressed
in Australian dollars. In this document, references to "US dollars" or "US$" are
to the currency of the United States of America and  references  to  "Australian
Dollars" or "A$" are to currency of Australia. Solely for convenience, Form 20-F
contains  translations of certain  Australian  dollar amounts into US dollars at
specified rates. These  translations  should not be construed as representations
that the Australian dollar amounts actually  represent such US dollar amounts or
could have been or could be converted into US dollars at the rates  indicated or
any other rates.  Unless  otherwise  indicated,  the  translation  of Australian
dollars into US dollars has been made at the rate of A$1.00 = US$0.65,  the noon
buy-in  rate in New York City for  cable  transfers  in  Australian  dollars  as
certified  for customs  purposes by the  Federal  Reserve  Bank of New York (the
"Noon Buying Rate") on December 31, 1999.  For  information  regarding  rates of

                                    body of rock to slide relative to each other
                                    in a  direction  parallel  to their plane of
                                    contact, resulting in a tabular zone or rock
                                    that  has  been  crushed  by  many  parallel
                                    fractures due to shear strain.

Carbonates                          Sedimentary rocks built up of calcium and/or
                                    magnesium carbonate or fragments of the same
                                    material.

Cementation                         The   digenetic   process  by  which  coarse
                                    grained     sedimentary     rocks     become
                                    consolidated  or bound  together  into hard,
                                    compact rocks, usually through deposition or
                                    precipitation  of  minerals  in  the  spaces
                                    among the individual  grains of the rock. It
                                    may occur  simultaneously with deposition or
                                    at a later time.

Channel Sandstone                   An  elongated  deposit  or  body of sand and
                                    gravel located in the course of a stream  or
                                    river.

Clastics                            Sedimentary  rocks built up of  fragments or
                                    pre-existing  rocks  produced by the process
                                    of  erosion  and  transported  to a point of
                                    deposition.

Claystone                           A  very  fine   grained   sedimentary   rock
                                    composed  principally of clay;  often a seal
                                    and the principal source of oil.

Closure                             The  vertical  distance  between the highest
                                    part  of  a   structure   and   the   lowest
                                    encircling contour.

Coal                                A readily  combustible  rock containing more
                                    than  50% by  weight  and 70% by  volume  of
                                    carbonaceous   (woody)  material   including
                                    inherent  moisture,  formed from  compaction
                                    and  induration  of variously  altered plant
                                    materials.

Delta System                        Pertaining to the low, nearly flat, alluvial
                                    tract  of  land,  at or  near the mouth of a
                                    river, commonly forming a triangular or fan-
                                    shaped plain of considerable area,   crossed
                                    by many  distributaries of the  main  river,
                                    perhaps  extending  beyond the general trend
                                    of   the   coast,  and  resulting  from  the
                                    accumulation  of  sediment  supplied  by the
                                    river in such  quantities  that  it  is  not
                                    removed by tides, currents  and waves.  Most
                                    delta  systems  are  partly above  water and
                                    partly   below   water.   Includes  all  the
                                    different  parts and characteristics of each
                                    individual area within the delta.

Diagenesis                          The  physical  and  chemical  changes  in  a
                                    sedimentary rock after deposition.

Early Miocene Carbonates            Carbonate  bearing rocks (e.g.  limestone or
                                    dolomite)  formed  in  the  Miocene  - Epoch
                                    (i.e. between 5-23 million years ago).

Electric (Schlumberger) Logs        Geophysical measurements of rock  properties
                                    including   natural radioactivity,  density,
                                    acoustic and conductivity,  made with probes
                                    attached to the  end  of  a  wire  line, and
                                    recorded  continuously  as  the  probes  are
                                    winched  to  the   surface.   The  data   is
                                    presented  on  a  paper  roll  or  film as a
                                    trace,  hence  the  term log.  Analysts  can
                                    assess the type or rock  e.g.  sandstone and
                                    claystone and whether reservoirs contain gas
                                    oil or water and the volume thereof.

                                    Reserves  on  undrilled   acreage  shall  be
                                    limited to those drilling  units  offsetting

                                    permeability at 100%  saturation.  It ranges
                                    from zero at a low  saturation,  to 1.0 at a
                                    saturation of 100%.

                                    primary   recovery,   as   a   result     of
                                    supplementing  by   artificial   means   the
                                    natural  energy  inherent  in the reservoir,
                                    sometimes   accompanied   by  a  significant
                                    change in  the   physical characteristics of
                                    reservoir fluids.

Seismic                             Geophysical prospecting using the generation

OIL AND GAS
         The Company  identified  Indonesia for its focus for  acquisitions  and
development of oil and gas reserves.  Indonesia was selected  after  considering
prospectivity for oil and gas, demand for the produced product,  availability of
supportive  infrastructure,  foreign company  participation terms and conditions
and sovereign risk.

Benefits Associated with Indonesia
         Indonesia  has a  record  for  honoring  participation  agreements  and
keeping tax and terms  stable.  The process for  co-operation  with domestic and
foreign parties is explained as follows:

o                 All oil and  natural  gas  exploitation  in  Indonesia  is the
                  responsibility of Perusahaan  Pertambangan Minyak dan Gas Bumi
                  Negara ("Pertamina"),  an enterprise established under the Law
                  of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 Year 1971.
o                 Pertamina  may  co-operate  with  other  parties  by  way of a
                  "Production Sharing Contract,"  (hereinafter  "PSC"), the form
                  and terms of which are established by government regulations.
o                 While terms have  altered  marginally  since the PSC was first
                  introduced,  usually the  objective  of the change has been to
                  improve  the terms in an attempt to  attract  further  foreign
                  investment in Indonesia.
o                 The  PSC format  has proved a stable and reliable contract for
                  international investment.
o                 The  Company  has  two  PSC's with Pertamina  located  onshore
                  Madura  Island  and Onshore North East Kalimantan and are held
                  by  Western  Madura  Pty Ltd and Western Simenggaris Petroleum
                  Pty   Ltd   respectively   (collectively  hereinafter   called
                  "Western"). See  "The  Company's  two PSC's - Madura Block and
                  Simenggaris Block" hereinafter.

Indonesia is considered  one of the more mature regions of the world for oil and
gas  investment  in respect to security of tenure in contracts  covering oil and
gas rights of a foreign company.

Risks Associated with Indonesia
         There are a number of factors which may have a material downside effect
on  Western's  future  financial  performance  in  Indonesia or the value of the
shares in the Company. These factors include:

         * Fluctuations in the world market price of oil and gas;
         * Fluctuations  in  the  value  of the Indonesian rupiah against the US
           dollar;
         * Abnormal  interruptions  in  oil  and  gas  production  or   delivery
           resulting from war, political disturbance, civil unrest or industrial
           disruption;
         * Changes in government,  government regulations or the relevant fiscal
           regime;
         * Unforeseen adverse geological conditions;
         * Unavailability or excessive costs of industry service support, caused
           by any of the above.

         The Company believes that the benefits described above far outweigh the
risks.  There is no assurance,  however,  that one or more of the aforementioned
risks will not severely damage Company prospects and operations.

Selection of Target Areas for Acquisition
         The  criteria  for  assessing  oil and gas  opportunities  in Indonesia
includes consideration of the following:

                                       10
<PAGE>

         *        Detailed  review of  geological  and  geophysical  information
                  available from Pertamina and other sources.

         *        Assessing  proximity of the oil and/or gas prospect to a means
                  of  transporting  the  production  to  market.  The  foregoing
                  component of  production  costs can  significantly  affect the
                  economics of a project.

         *        Assessing access to support services such as engineering,  rig
                  services and service  contractors.  Costs for mobilization and
                  demobilization of such services is an important consideration.

         *        Assessing field prospects of oil and gas,  usually  determined
                  by  quality   and   quantity   of   geophysical,   geological,
                  petrophysical and production data available.

         *        Assessing  the degree of  difficulty  in producing the oil and
                  gas prospect  from an  engineering  perspective,  to enable an
                  accurate assessment of production costs.

         *        Conducting commercial analysis to establish the ability  of  a
                  particular  project  to  achieve  adequate  rate  of return on
                  investment.

Evaluation Techniques
         Experienced  geologists and geophysicists are engaged as contractors to
employ the most advanced  technologies of investigation in assessing hydrocarbon
prospects.  These include  reprocessing and reinterpretation of existing seismic
data.  Afterwards the data in its original  interpreted  form can be enhanced to
enable more accurate  mapping of the  structure.  The  technology  available for
seismic acquisition and processing is continually being improved. Interpretation
tools such as computer mapping and modeling packages,  enable greater amounts of
data to be processed and superior  interpretations  to be made. Western utilizes
both the data  directly  relating  to the field being  investigated,  along with
regional data to compile as complete an understanding as the available data will
allow.

         Electrical  wireline  logs are  utilized  where  available to interpret
reservoir  parameters of interval  thickness,  hydrocarbon  presence,  porosity,
water  saturation  and other  important  parameters.  This  data is  interpreted
utilizing experienced engineers and advanced software packages designed for such
analysis.  The result are then  integrated  with the geological and  geophysical
information, in an endeavor to use one form of analysis to confirm the other.

         Utilizing the geophysical mapping and the petrophysical interpretation,
the  reservoir  engineer  is then able to  estimate  potential  oil  and/or  gas
reserves  and  recovery  factors  likely  to be  achieved.  Any  available  past
production  records  are  analyzed  and can  often  be  utilized  as a means  of
predicting  future  production  rates and  cumulative  production  forecast,  by
extrapolation of the past results, utilizing accepted engineering practices. The
application  of  computer  models  can  also  aid  the  reservoir   engineer  in
forecasting   production  potential.   An  accurate  model  can  duplicate  past
production history.

Market for Oil and Gas Production
         The  market  for oil and  gas  production  in  Indonesia  is  generally
regulated.  Under  the terms of the PSC,  Western  has the right to sell its oil
production to Pertamina at the  government  established  Indonesian  Crude Price
(hereinafter  "ICP") and Pertamina cannot refuse to buy the production.  The ICP
is an  average  price  for a basket of crude  oil.  The  basket  used in the ICP
calculation  is  comprised  of Sumatra  Light  Crude  (SLC),  Tapis  crude (from
Malaysia),  Oman crude, Dubai crude and Gippsland crude (Australia)  prices. The

                                       11

<PAGE>

ICP is adjusted on a monthly  basis at the end of each month and then applied to
the same  month.  The price for a  particular  crude  oil in  Indonesia  is then
adjusted  relative to the crude  quality.  Pertamina has  strategically  located
facilities  throughout  most of  Indonesia,  where  crude oil can be  delivered,
commonly referred to as the "Point of Custody  Transfer." Western is responsible
for its  portion  of costs for  delivering  the  crude to the  Point of  Custody
Transfer. Above certain levels of production,  Western has the right to sell its
oil production on the world market if it is able to negotiate  preferred selling
terms.  Preferred  selling terms are terms which are more  favorable  then those
available to the contractor under the ICP pricing system.

         Under  the  standard  terms  of  Technical   Assistance  Contracts  and
Production  Sharing  Contracts,  the  contractor  has the right  during the term
thereof to freely  lift,  dispose of and export  100% of its share of crude oil,
and retain abroad the proceeds obtained  therefrom.  After 5 years of production
the contractor is required to meet its domestic  market  obligation and sell 25%
of its share of production to Pertamina at 15% of the prevailing price.

         All producers in a producing  region receive the same price.  The major
oil companies purchase crude oil offered for sale at posted field prices.  There
are price adjustments for quality  difference from the Bench Mark. Oil sales are
normally  contracted  with a gatherer who will pick-up the oil at the well site.
In some instances there may be deductions for transportation  from the well head
to the sales  point.  At this time the majority of crude oil  purchasers  do not
charge  transportation  fees, unless the well is outside their service area. The
oil gatherer  will usually  handle all check  disbursements  to both the working
interest  and  royalty  owners.  The  Company  was a working  interest  owner to
December  31,  1999.  From  January 1, 2000 to December  31, 200l the  Company's
interest is carried by Pt Medco Energi  Corporation Tbk.  Commencing  January 1,
2002 the  Company  expects to be a working  interest  owner.  By being a working
interest  owner,  the  Company  will  be  responsible  for  the  payment  of its
proportionate  share of the operating  expenses of the well.  Royalty owners and
over-riding  royalty owners receive a percentage of gross oil production for the
particular  lease and are not obligated in any manner  whatsoever to pay for the
cost of operating the lease.

         Gas is sold direct to  consumers at prices  determined  by Pertamina in
the following range:

                  Industry                           Price Range per MCF
                  Fertilizer manufacture             US$1.00 - US$1.50

                  Steel Industry Process             US$0.65
                  Steel Industry Fuel/Power          US$2.00
                  Electricity generation             US$2.45 - US$3.00
                  Cement manufacture                 US$3.00
                  Other                              US$2.70

         The lower gas  prices in some  industry  sectors  are a form of subsidy
imposed by the  government.  Larger gas reserves near to LNG facilities are able
to supply gas to these  operations.  Indonesia is the largest exporter of LNG in
the world.

         The gas purchaser will pay the well operator 100% of the sales proceeds
each and every month for the previous months sales.  The operator is responsible
for all checks and  distributions  to the working  interest and royalty  owners.
There is no standard price for gas. Depending on the type of contract,  ultimate
destination,  transportation, treatment and compression charges, the prices will
vary. Prices will fluctuate with the seasons and the general market  conditions.
The Company does not anticipate any significant  change in the manner production

                                       12

is purchased.  However, no assurance can be given at this time that such changes
will not occur.

         As Indonesia moves closer towards becoming a net importer of crude oil,
the Indonesian government, through the state owned enterprise Pertamina in which
all oil and gas  reserves  are vested,  is  endeavoring  to increase  production
through new incentives to attract foreign  expertise and capital for exploration
and production, through development and enhancement of existing reserves.
Government incentives for PSC's include:

         * After tax split for oil, new incentive 35% Contractor Equity,  from a
         previous  range of 15% to 25%. This in effect means that the Contractor
         can receive a larger  portion of the total  production  from any field,
         after the deduction of Operating Costs. Allowing for a tax rate of 44%,
         the  Contractor  is  entitled  under  this  legislation,  to  62.5%  of
         remaining  production  after  recovery of  Operating  Costs pre tax, as
         opposed to the previous entitlement of 26.7857% to 44.6428% pre tax.

         * After tax split for gas 40% for Contractor,  from 35% previously.  As
         for the above, the Contractor is entitled to 71.426% of the production,
         after deducting Operating Costs, as opposed to 62.5% previously.

         * Domestic  market oil fee increased  from 15% of crude price to 25% of
         crude price.  Under the terms of all TAC's and PSC's, the Contractor is
         required to sell and deliver to Pertamina a portion of the share of the
         Crude Oil to which the Contractor is entitled,  at the Domestic  Market
         Oil  Fee,  which  is a set  percentage  of the  price  realized  by the
         Contractor for all other  production from the Contract Area.  Under the
         previous  regulations,  the Contractor received only 15% of such price,
         whereas under the new legislation,  the Contractor  receives 25% of the
         realized  price.  The net result is that the Contractor is receiving an
         additional  10% of the Crude Oil  price for that  portion  of Crude Oil
         which it is  obligated  to sell and deliver to Pertamina to fulfill the
         Contractor's  obligation  towards the supply of the domestic  market in
         Indonesia.

         * First  Tranche  Petroleum  reduced  from  20% to 15%.  First  Tranche
         Petroleum,  being a portion  of the total  Petroleum  production  to be
         split  between  the  parties  before  any  deduction  for  recovery  of
         Operating Costs, reduces the amount available for recovery of Operating
         Costs. As the Contractor is providing funding under the contract terms,
         it is in the  Contractor's  interest  to have as much of the  Petroleum
         production  available for recovery of such costs, prior to distribution
         between  the  parties  thereafter.   Reduction  of  the  First  Tranche
         Petroleum  percentage  from 20% to 15%  means an  additional  5% of the
         Petroleum production is available to the Contractor for Cost Recovery.

         The price for oil in Indonesia is tied to a basket of crude oils around
the world,  ensuring an  "international"  price dependency.  The basket of crude
oils  used to  establish  the ICP  effectively  means  that the ICP is very much
subject to world oil prices,  giving it  international  stability  as opposed to
being affected by domestic  constraints.  The ICP compares  favorably with other
comparable  crude  oils in  that  its  price  is  formulated  from a  basket  of
comparable crudes from other countries.

THE COMPANY'S TWO PRODUCT SHARING CONTRACTS ("PSC's") WITH PERTAMINA

MADURA BLOCK
Onshore Madura Island

         On January 28, 1997 the  President  Director  of  Pertamina  signed the
authorization  for CityView's then 100% owned subsidiary  Western Madura Pty Ltd
("Western  Madura")  to  commence  operations  on the Madura  Block prior to the
formal signing of the PSC-JOB agreement.  The signing of the contract took place
on May 15, 1997,  awarding the 2728km(2)  Madura Block to Western  Madura for an
exploration term of 10 years and production term of 20 years.

History
         Oil and gas  exploration  began on Madura  Island in the late 1800's to
1910 with over 100  shallow  (less  than  500m)  wells  drilled on oil seeps and
surface  features.  Production was marginal with a cumulative total of less than
1.0MMBO ("Million  barrels of Oil").  Exploration was limited on the block until
the  1970's  when it was  held  in  succession  by  Indonesia  Cities  Services,
Pertamina and Shell.  Several  generations  of seismic data were acquired in the
1980's and 1990's but only 6 wells have been drilled on the Island since 1910.

         Throughout  1999  discussions  took  place  with   P.T.  Medco   Energi
Corporation TBK (Medco) for Medco to supervise and pay for the work programs for
the years 2000 and 2001 for the  development and bringing into production of the
Madura block.

         Approval was given at the  Company's  General  Meeting held on December
30,1999  for the Company to allot a 75%  interest in Western  Madura to Medco in
consideration  of Medco  carrying  out and  paying for the whole of the 2000 and
2001 work  programs.  The  agreement  was signed  between  CityView and Medco on
January 25, 2000. The Company's interest in Western Madura was reduced from 100%
to 25%.

Regional Setting
         There  is an E-W  terrain  running  across  the  block  that  underwent
inversion in the Plio-Pleistocene.  Within that band a number of structures have
been  identified  at,  due  to  the  inversion,  fairly  shallow  levels.  These
relatively  shallow  features are the  principal  target for the Western  Madura
program.

Prospects
Market
         Western  Madura  has  discussed   with  the  local  Madura   government
downstream  projects  which include a small refinery and a power plant to supply
the local market and displace imports from East Java.

SIMENGGARIS BLOCK
Onshore NE Kalimantan

         On September  28, 1997 the President  Director of Pertamina  signed the
authorization  for  Cityview's  then  100%  owned  subsidiary   Genindo  Western
Petroleum Pty Ltd ("Genindo") to commence  operations on the  Simenggaris  Block
prior to the  formal  signing  of the  PSC-JOB  agreement.  The  signing  of the
Contract  took place on February  24, 1998  awarding the  2734km(2)  Simenggaris
Block to Genindo. The contract term is 10 years for exploration and 20 years for
production.  Genindo changed its name to Western Simenggaris  Petroleum Pty. Ltd
on June 22 1998.

                                       14
<PAGE>

         Throughout  1999   discussions   took  place  with  P.T.  Medco  Energi
Corporation TBK (Medco) for Medco to supervise and pay for the work programs for
the years 2000 and 2001 for the  development and bringing into production of the
Simenggaris block.

         Approval was given at the Company's General Meeting held on December 30
1999 for the Company to allot a 75% interest in Western  Simenggaris to Medco in
consideration  of Medco  carrying  out and  paying for the whole of the 2000 and
2001 work  programs.  The  agreement  was signed  between  CityView and Medco on
January 25, 2000.  Accordingly,  the Company's  interest in Western  Simenggaris
Petroleum Pty Ltd was reduced from 100% to 25% .

History
         The  Simenggaris  Block  is  adjacent  to  some  of  the  earliest  oil
production in Indonesia with exploration dating back to the 1890's.  Exploration
was limited on the block  until the late 1960's when  portions of the block were
held in succession by Japex, ARCO, Deminex and Pertamina. Several generations of
seismic data were acquired and 15 wells were drilled within the Block leading to
four  discoveries:  Sembakung oil field,  Bangkudulis  oil field,  Sesayap-1 and
S.Sembakung-1.  The former two are producing  fields  excluded from the Contract
area and the latter two are undeveloped gas-condensate discoveries.

Regional Setting
         The  Simenggaris  Block lies in the Tarakan Basin  region.  The Tarakan
Basin stratigraphy  consists of a classic prograding deltaic sequence from upper
Miocene through  Pliocene time. The majority of the reserves are found along the
Kalimantan coast in Pliocene age deltaic reservoirs.  Further inland gas and oil
are found in upper Miocene age, paleogeographic equivalent,  deltaic reservoirs.
The upper Miocene age reservoirs are  underexplored and will be the focus of the
Medco work program.

Prospects
Market
         Several gas markets have been identified for the Simenggaris Block with
gas prices of US$2.20 per MCF expected,  based on current pricing levels.  These
markets  include a future  fertilizer  plant and also a methanol  plant on Bunyu
Island.

TIMOFORO
On shore Irian Jaya

         CityView's 85% owned subsidiary, Western Wisesa Petroleum Pty. Ltd, was
formed to negotiate with Pertamina to secure title to the block. During 1999 the
Company  ceased its  negotiations  for the block on the  grounds  of  inadequate
commerciality.


TUBA OBI EAST ("TOE")
Onshore South Sumatra

         In June 1994, Pt Akar Golindo (PTAG) was invited by Pertamina to bid on
the Tuba Obi East  Block  in  Sumatra.  On  August  1,  1996  CityView  signed a
Memorandum  of  Understanding  with PTAG to form a joint  company  Western  Akar
Petroleum  Pty Ltd  ("Akar")  to  operate  and  develop  TOE.  Akar (a 90% owned
subsidiary of CityView) then signed a TAC for Tuba Obi East on May 15, 1997. The
block is 55km(2) in size.

                                       15
<PAGE>

         During 1999 the Company  withdrew from TOE on the grounds of inadequate
commerciality.

TANJUNG MIRING TIMUR ("TMT")
Onshore South Sumatra

         On December 17, 1996 CityView's 80% owned subsidiary, Western Nusantara
Energi Pty Ltd ("Nusantara") signed a TAC to take over the operations of the TMT
Oilfield.

         During  1999  the Company withdrew from TMT on the gounds of inadequate
commerciality

SANGATTA SANGKIMAH
East Kalimantan

         On  December  8,  1995  CityView's  wholly  owned  subsidiary   Western
Sangkimah  NL  ("Western")  was  assigned  an  87.5%  interest  in a TAC for the
Sangkimah  oilfield  which  lies  within a  Pertamina  concession  area known as
Sangatta.
         To comply with Pertamina's work program a workover of Well No. SS-1 was
carried  out in  December  1997 which  confirmed  a minimum  production  rate of
30BOPD. Operations on Well No. SS-1 were then suspended. An exploratory well No.
SST-1  was  then  drilled  to a depth  of 1550 m to test  the "Q"  sands.  After
encountering only minor oil content the well was plugged.

         During 1999 the Company withdrew from Sangatta Sangkimah on the grounds
of inadequate commerciality.

BLOCK SC41 (formerly GSEC 74)
Offshore Western Philippines

         ARCO  Philippines  Inc,  Preussag  Energies  GMBH,  MMC  Exploration  &
Production  (Philippines)  Pte  Ltd  ("MMCEPPL")  and a  consortium  of  fifteen
Filipino  resource  companies  hold Block SC41 in the Sandakan Basin adjacent to
the border with Sadah East  Malaysia.  SC41 includes an area of about 12,000 km2
(3 million  acres) on which  ARCO has  acquired  5,100 km of  seismic  data with
simultaneous gravity and magnetic surveys.

         ARCO has mapped several large prospects in the undrilled distal portion
of the delta complex. Seismic amplitude anomalies and flat spots that conform to
these structures indicate that hydrocarbon generation,  migration and entrapment
have  occurred.  Twelve  prospects of  potential  have been  identified  in SC41
including  the Rhino  prospect  and the Hippo  prospect  which  was  drilled  in
February 1998.

         During 1999 the Company  executed an  agreement  with  Malaysia  Mining
Corporation Berhad (MMC) for the transfer to MMC of its 49% interest in MMCEPPL,
in satisfaction of its outstanding  debt of US$9,727,656 to MMC and discharge of
the deed of charge.

         On April 13, 2000 CityView  acquired from ASAB Resources Limited a 2.5%
interest in Block SC41.  This  interest is free  carried by MMCEPPL  through the
next part of the program being the drilling of a major offshore well.

                                       16

Market
         Oil is easier to produce and market as it would simply be produced from
an FPSU and then  delivered  anywhere in the country.  Gas is more  difficult to
monetize  as it will  require a  pipeline  to get the gas to  market.  Marketing
opportunities in nearby Sabah would be examined.

Reserves
         A definitive  statement on reserves will be provided upon completion of
the work program by Medco.

Production
         The Company has no independent production.

Productive Wells and Acreage The Company has no productive wells.

Undeveloped Acreage
         The Company holds exploration blocks which are referred to above.

Drilling Activity
         The Company drilled no exploratory wells during 1999.

Present Activities
         Present activities are set out in Review of Operations.

Delivery Commitments
         The  Company  is not  currently  obligated  to  provide  any  fixed and
determinable  quantity of oil or gas in the future under  existing  contracts or
agreements  but may be so  required in the future.  See  "Indonesian  Government
Regulation"  hereinafter  and  "Market  for  Oil and  Gas  Production",  initial
paragraph as relates to Pertamina and PSC..

         The  methodology  applied in  predicting  oil and gas rates for various
fields incorporates:

         * Accessing and reviewing all geological and geophysical  data relating
           to the area.

         * Analyzing petrophyscial records available for the area.

         * Review  of past  production  performance  for the  field  and that of
           similar fields in the region.

         * Review  of  past history of existing wells to determine potential for
           re-completion   to   exploit  additional  reserves  and/or   increase
           production rates.

         * Application  of  industry  accepted  engineering  methods to forecast
           reservoir performance.

         * Commercial  analysis  of  the field to determine optimum well spacing
           verses rate of return, to establish the number of  wells to be worked
           over and/or drilled.

         * Potential for secondary or tertiary recovery techniques to   maximize
           recover factors, within the economic framework.

The above are industry  accepted methods for forecasting  production rates for a
particular field.

                                       17
<PAGE>

Competition
         The  oil  and  gas  industry  is  highly  competitive.   The  Company's
competitors   and  potential   competitors   include  major  oil  companies  and
independent  producers of varying sizes which are engaged in the  acquisition of
producing  properties and the exploration and development of prospects.  Many of
the Company's competitors have greater financial,  personnel and other resources
than does the Company and therefore have a greater  leverage to use in acquiring
prospects,  hiring  personnel  and marketing  oil and gas.  Accordingly,  a high
degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue.

Indonesian Government Regulation
         The Company may either sell its production on the international  market
or opt to sell it  domestically.  There is a  commitment  to sell 25% of any oil
production  domestically (called Domestic Market Obligation) at 15% of the crude
price.  This  commitment  is imposed in the terms of all PSC's and does not vary
between PSCs.  This  commitment  becomes  effective after the first 60 months of
production. As the fields have not reached a level of commercial production, the
commitment does not currently apply and if and when applicable  (after 60 months
of commercial  production)  will only  represent a minimal  portion of the total
production.  There are no constraints  on production.  Indonesia has no exchange
controls; therefore,  foreigners are able to move funds freely in and out of the
country through accounts denominated in local foreign currency.

         On all projects in which CityView enters into a PSC with Pertamina,  it
         is obligated to:

         * Conduct an environmental  baseline assessment at the beginning of its
         activities.

         * Take the necessary  precautions for protection of ecological systems,
         navigation and fishing,  and prevent  extensive  pollution of the area,
         sea or rivers as the  result of  operations  undertaken  under the work
         program.

         * After the expiration or termination or relinquishment of any contract
         area,  or   abandonment   of  any  field,   remove  all  equipment  and
         installations  from the area in a manner  acceptable to Pertamina,  and
         perform all necessary site  restoration  activities in accordance  with
         applicable  government  regulations,  the costs of which are treated as
         operating  costs  and  are  thus  cost  recoverable,   through  project
         revenues.

         The Company considers these  environmental  obligations to be a part of
its policy of good oil field  practice and further  acknowledges  that the terms
are considered normal throughout the world.  Further,  the Company believes that
the  foregoing  obligations  will not have a  material  impact on the  Company's
operations.

GOLD
         The Company's  exploration  operations  for gold were  conducted by two
wholly owned  subsidiary  corporations,  Copperwell Pty Ltd  ("Copperwell")  and
Artane  Minerals NL ("Artane").  The  exploration  operations  were conducted in
joint venture with other affiliated and non-affiliated entities.

Raeside Joint Venture
         Copperwell  owns a 10% interest in the Raeside Joint Venture which owns
77 mining  and  exploration  tenements  (hereinafter  referred  to as  "claims")
covering an area of approximately 168 square kilometres south east of Leonora in
Western Australia.  The remaining 90% is held by Triton Resources  Limited.  The
main Raeside project area covers some 64 square miles of ground and includes the
Leonardo ore body.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         In  consideration  of  all  outstanding  liabilities  for  the  Raeside
project, CityView sold its subsidiary to Triton Resources Limited on November 5,
1999 for Aus$86,444 (US$54,459).

Duketon Prospect
         Artane is the registered  holder of 194/200ths of Exploration  Licenses
E30/442 and E38/550, Application for Mining Lease 38/402 and Prospecting License
38/2455 in the Mt.  Margaret  Mineral  Field Western  Australia  which have been
farmed-out to Johnson's Well Mining NL.

         Cityview  sold its  subsidiary  Artane to Yule River  Mining Pty Ltd on
December 1, 1999 for a nominal consideration.

Australian Government Regulation
         The Australian  Corporations and Securities Legislation ("ACSL") is the
main body of law  governing  companies in  Australia,  such as the Company.  The
Australian  Securities  and  Investment  Commission is an Australian  government
instrumentality that administratively enforces the ACSL. The ACSL covers matters
such as directors' duties and responsibilities, preparation of accounts, auditor
control, issue and transfer of shares, control of shareholder;  meetings, rights
of minority interests,  amendments to capital structure,  preparation and filing
of public documents such as annual reports,  changes in directors and changes in
capital.

         The Australian  Stock  Exchange  Limited  imposes  listing rules on all
listed companies,  such as the Company. The rules cover such issues as immediate
notification to the market of relevant information, periodic financial reporting
and the prior approval of shareholder  reports by the Australian  Stock Exchange
Limited.

         The  Company  believes  that it is in  compliance  with  the  foregoing
Australian laws and regulations.

Management and Employees
         At December 31, 1999 the Company had 28 full time employees, comprising
24 in Indonesia and 4 in Australia.  Staffing has subsequently been reduced to 4
in Indonesia  and 4 in Australia.  Much of the  Company's  work is undertaken by
consultants on a per diem basis.

Company's Offices
         The Company's principal office was located (until April 30, 2000) at 62
Glyde  Street,  Mosman  Park,  Western  Australia.  Commencing  May 1,  2000 the
Company's  offices  relocated to 63 Burswood Road,  Burswood,  Western Australia
6100, telephone number is (61-8) 6250 9099. The Company leases this office space
from Sands & McDougall Office Products Pty Ltd.

ITEM 5.  NATURE OF TRADING MARKET

         The Company's ordinary shares commenced trading on the Australian Stock
Exchange  Limited  on January 2, 1992 and  commenced  trading on the  Electronic
Over-the-Counter  Bulletin  Board in the United  States on April 11,  1997.  The
Company  subsequently  gained  clearance  to trade on the NASDAQ  Small  Capital
Market  on June 11,  1997 and  continuously  traded on such  exchange  until its
delisting  effective May 8, 2000  subsequent to a February 11, 2000 oral hearing
before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company has timely indicated
in writing to NASDAQ  that it intends  to appeal  such  delisting  to the NASDAQ
Listing and Hearing Review Council.  As of the date hereof no determination  has
been made as to when such appeal will be held.  Pending such  determination  the
Company is  cooperating  with  broker-dealer(s)  in order to have its securities
cleared  for trading on the  Electronic  Over-the-Counter  Bulletin  Board and a
broker-dealer has filed an application with the NASD in accordance with Exchange
Act Rule  15c2-11 for such  purposes.  The Company was listed for trading on the
main board of the Australian  Stock  Exchange  Limited on January 2, 1992. As of
May 29, 2000 the Company had 783 holders of record of its Ordinary Shares.

         The Company has not paid any  dividends  since it's  inception and does
not anticipate  paying any dividends on its Ordinary  Shares in the  foreseeable
future.

         The   following  reflects  the high and low bid price for the Company's
Ordinary  Shares as reflected on the  Australian  Stock Exchange Limited for the
last three years.

ITEM 6.  EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS

         Australia  has  largely  abolished   exchange  controls  on  investment
transactions.  The Australian dollar is freely  convertible into US dollars.  In
addition,  there are currently no specific  rules or  limitations  regarding the
export from Australia of profits, dividends,  capital or similar funds belonging
to foreign investors, except that all payments to non-residents must be reported
to the Australian Cash  Transaction  Agency,  which monitors such  transactions,
whether they be in the form of cash, dividends, capital or profits.

         The Foreign  Acquisitions  Acts sets forth limitations on the rights of
non-Australian  residents  to own or vote the ordinary  shares of an  Australian
company.  The Foreign  Acquisitions  Acts permits the Commonwealth  Treasurer to
examine  acquisitions  and  arrangements  that could  result in foreign  persons
controlling an Australian  business.  The Commonwealth  Treasurer may prohibit a
proposed  takeover  if it would lead to a change of control of a business  where
the resultant  control  would be foreign and therefore  considered to be against
the  national  interest.  The Foreign  Acquisitions  Acts  contains  divestiture
provisions to ensure it can be enforced, as well as, stringent  monetary-penalty
provisions for breaches and the making of false or misleading statements.

         The  Foreign  Acquisitions  Acts  requires  the prior  approval  of the
Commonwealth Treasurer for certain classes of persons to enter into an agreement
to acquire  shares of an Australian  company,  if, after the  acquisition,  such
person or corporation would hold a substantial interest in such corporation,  as
explained below.  The foregoing  approval  requirement  applies to the following
classes of persons: (i) any natural person not ordinarily resident in Australia,
(ii) any corporation in which either a natural person not ordinarily resident in
Australia or a foreign corporation (as defined in the Foreign Acquisitions Acts)
holds a substantial interest, and (iii) two or more such persons or corporations
which hold an aggregate substantial interest.

         The   Foreign   Acquisitions   Acts   requires   foreign   persons   or
foreign-controlled  entities to give forty (40) days notice to the  Commonwealth
Treasurer of a proposal to acquire or increase (or offer to acquire or increase)
a  single  interest  of 15% or more  of the  ownership  or  voting  power  of an
Australian  company.  If two  or  more  foreign  persons  or  foreign-controlled
entities are acting together, the threshold is 40% in the aggregate.

         The  Memorandum  of  Association  and  Articles of  Association  of the
Company do not contain any additional  limitations on a non-resident's  right to
hold or vote the Company's securities.

ITEM 7.  TAXATION

         The  following  discussion  summarizes  US federal and  Australian  tax
consequences of the ownership of Shares by a person ("US Portfolio Stockholder")
that: (i) is a citizen or resident of the US, a US corporation or that otherwise
will be subject to US federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of the
Shares;  (ii) is not a resident of Australia for Australian tax purposes;  (iii)
has not, within the preceding five years,  beneficially  owned 10% of the issued
capital or voting  stock in the  Company;  and,  (iv) has not used the Shares in
carrying  on  a  trade  or  business,  wholly  or  partly  through  a  permanent
establishment in Australia.

         The  statements  regarding US and  Australian tax laws set forth herein
are based on those laws as in force on the date of this document that may affect
the tax  consequence  described  herein  (some  of which  may  have  retroactive

                                       22

<PAGE>

effect).  This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax  consideration  and
investors are advised to satisfy  themselves as to the overall tax consequences,
including  specifically the consequences  under US, state, local and other laws,
of the acquisition,  ownership and disposition of Shares by consulting their own
tax advisers.

Taxation of Gains on Sale
         A US Portfolio  Stockholder is not subject to Australian  income tax on
the sale of its Shares in the Company.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status
         A foreign  corporation  is classified as a passive  foreign  investment
company (a "PFIC") in any taxable  year in which,  after taking into account the
income and assets of certain subsidiaries pursuant to the applicable US Internal
Revenue Code  "look-through"  rules, either (i) at least 75% of its gross income
is passive  income,  or (ii) at least 50% of the average  value of its assets is
attributable  to assets  that  produce  passive  income from cash  holdings  and
profits from the sale of marketable  securities,  even if derived from an active
business.

         If the  Company  were a PFIC  during  any year in which a US  Portfolio
Stockholder  owned  Shares,  that US Portfolio  Stockholder  would be subject to
additional taxes on any gain realized from the sale or any other  disposition of
the Shares, or any excess distribution received from the Company.

         A US  Portfolio  Stockholder  will have an excess  distribution  to the
extent that  distributions  on Shares during a taxable year exceeded 125% of the
average  amount  received  during the three  preceding  taxable  years  (or,  if
shorter,  the US Portfolio  Stockholders'  holding  period for the  Shares).  To
compute  the  tax  on  gain  or  on  an  excess  distribution,  (i)  the  excess
distribution   or  the  gain  is   allocated   ratably  over  the  US  Portfolio
Stockholder's  holding period for the Shares,  (ii) the amount  allocated to the
current taxable year at the highest applicable  marginal rate in effect for each
year and (iii) an interest  charge is imposed to recover the deemed benefit from
the deferred payment of the tax attributable to each year.

         If the  Company is a PFIC,  US persons  that own an interest in another
entity that owns  shares in the  Company  may be treated as indirect  holders of
their  proportionate  share of that entity's  Shares,  and may be taxed on their
proportional  share  of  any  gain  or  excess  distribution  from  that  entity
attributable  to the entity's in the Company.  A US person that owns an interest
in the entity that is an actual  holder of Shares will be treated as an indirect
holder if (i) the actual  holder is itself a PFIC,  (ii) the actual  holder is a
foreign  corporation  other  than a PFIC in  which  the US  person  who  owns an
interest in the actual  holder owns  (directly  or  indirectly)  at least 50% in
value  of  the  actual  holder's  shares,  or  (iii)  the  actual  holder  is  a
partnership,  trust or estate in which the US Portfolio Stockholder is a partner
or  beneficiary.  An  indirect  holder  must take into income its portion of any
excess distribution  received by the actual holder or any gain recognized by the
actual holder on the Shares.  An indirect  holder also must treat an appropriate
portion of its gain on the sale or  disproportion  of its interest in the actual
holder  as gain on the sale of the  Shares.  If the  Company  were a PFIC,  a US
Portfolio Stockholder of Shares would generally be subject to similar rules with
respect to  distribution  by, and  dispositions  of the shares of, any direct or
indirect subsidiaries of the Company that were PFICs.

         The Internal  Revenue Code provides each US stockholder in an PFIC with
an election whereby the additional US tax burden imposed on gain on sale of PFIC
stock and receipt of excess  distributions  from a PFIC, as described above, can
be avoided.  This election generally requires that the PFIC stockholder  include
in its income,  its pro-rata share of the PFIC's  distributed and  undistributed
income, as computed under US tax accounting principles,  on an current basis. In
certain cases, a further  election is available to an electing PFIC  stockholder

                                       23

<PAGE>

to defer the tax payable with respect to the stockholder's pro-rata share of the
PFIC's  undistributed  income,  although  in this case  interest  applies on the
deferred tax. Thus,  even if the first or both of these elections are made, a US
stockholder of a PFIC loses the tax benefit,  which is available with respect to
investment in a non-PFIC  corporation,  of deferring  and  converting to capital
gain the  investor's  personal US tax  liability  with respect to the  Company's
undistributed  income.  These  elections  also  generally  require that the PFIC
annually provide the electing PFIC  shareholder,  for inspection by the Internal
Revenue  Service,  an  analysis  of the  PFIC's  income  computed  under  US tax
accounting principals.

         The  Company  does not intend to furnish any US  Portfolio  Stockholder
with the information that it would need in order to avoid the PFIC tax treatment
described by electing to include its share of the Company's  income on a current
basis.  Therefore  these  elections  may not be  available  to the  Company's US
Portfolio Stockholders.

         There are other adverse US tax rules  associated with holding Shares in
a company  that has been a PFIC during any part of a US  Portfolio  Stockholders
holding period.  These include a denial of a step-up in a tax basis on the death
of a US individual stockholder, and burdensome reporting requirements.

         If the Company  ceases to be a PFIC,  a US  Portfolio  Stockholder  may
avoid the contained application of the tax treatment described above by electing
to be treated as if it sold its Shares on the last day of the last  taxable year
in which the Company was a PFIC.  Any gain is  recognized  and  subjected to tax
under  the rules  described  above.  Loss is not  recognized.  The US  Portfolio
Stockholder's  basis in the Shares is increased by the amount of gain recognized
on the deemed sale. This election is not available to a US Portfolio Stockholder
that  previously  elected  to  include  its share of the  Company's  income on a
current basis.  The US Congress  recently has considered  legislation that would
alter the PFIC rules substantially.  Prospective  investors should consult their
own tax advisors as to the potential  application of the PFIC rules, as well as,
the impact of any proposed legislation that could affect them.

Taxation of Dividends.
         The Company does not expect to pay cash  dividends for the  foreseeable
future,  but, rather, to retained earnings,  if any, to finance expansion of its
business.  Should the Company  begin paying  dividends,  however,  the Company's
dividends  to its US  Portfolio  Stockholders  would be exempt  from  Australian
dividend  withholding  tax to the extent such  dividends  are  considered  to be
"franked" for Australian tax purposes.  A dividend is considered to be "franked"
to the extent that such  dividend is paid out of the  Company's  income on which
Australian corporate tax has been levied. Even if not "franked," a dividend will
be exempt  from  Australian  dividend  withholding  tax if it is paid out of the
Company's  non-Australian  source  dividend  income and the Company  specifies a
"foreign dividend account declaration  percentage" for such purpose. The Company
anticipates  that if it pays  dividends,  such dividends  would likely be either
"franked," or paid from the Company's  non-Australian  source dividend income as
specified in the foreign dividend account declaration percentage,  and therefore
would be exempt from Australian dividend withholding tax.

         If, however,  dividends are paid by the Company that are not "franked,"
nor paid from the initial  Company's  non-Australian  source  dividend income as
specified in the foreign dividend account declaration percentage,  such dividend
would  then be subject to  Australian  dividend  withholding  tax.  However,  in
accordance with the provisions of the Australia/United States Income Tax Treaty,
Australian  withholding tax on dividend income derived by a US stockholder would
be  limited  to 15% of the gross  amount of the  dividend.  Subject  to  certain
limitations,  any Australian dividend withholding tax may be claimed as a credit
against the federal  income tax  liability  of the US  stockholder.  The overall
limitation on non-US taxes eligible for US credit is calculated  separately with

                                       24

<PAGE>

respect to specific classes, or "baskets" of income. For this purpose, dividends
distributed by the Company will generally constitute "passive income" or, in the
case of certain US Portfolio Stockholder, "financial service income." The US tax
credits  allowable  with  respect to each  income  basket  cannot  exceed the US
federal income tax payable with respect to such income.  The consequences of the
separate limitation calculation will depend on the nature and sources of each US
Portfolio Stockholder's income and the deductions allocable thereto.

         Distributions  on the Shares will  constitute  dividends for US Federal
income tax  purposes to the extent paid out of current or  accumulated  earnings
and profits,  if any of the Company,  as  determined  for US federal  income tax
purposes. <If the Company pays a dividend, such dividend would likely be paid in
Australian dollars. The amount of dividend income for a US Portfolio Stockholder
will be the US dollar value of the dividend payment on the date of receipt, even
if the  dividend  is not  converted  into US  dollars>.  Gain or  loss,  if any,
realized on a sale or other  disposition of Australian  Dollars will be ordinary
income or loss to the US Portfolio  Stockholder.  Dividends  paid by the Company
will not be eligible  for the  "inter-corporate  dividends  received"  deduction
allowed to US corporations.

Estate and Gift Tax
         Australia  does not  impose  any  estate,  inheritance  or gift  taxes.
Therefore, no Australian estate tax, inheritance tax or gift tax will be imposed
on the death or upon a lifetime gift by, a US Portfolio Stockholder.

GAAP).

         The following discussion  references the amounts computed in accordance
with  Australian GAAP for the results of operations of the Company for the three
financial  periods ended  December 31, 1999,  December 31, 1998 and December 31,

Overview

Risks of Investing in Respect to the Company's Operations and Industry
         The future  profitability and viability of the Company's operations and
activities  will depend on a number of risks,  including  but not limited to the
following:

1.       Commodity prices and in particular the price of oil and gas
2.       Currency exchange rate fluctuations;
3.       The  strength  of the equity markets at the time of any capital raising
         by the Company;
4.       Judicial decisions and legislative amendments
5.       Environmental management issues with which the Company may from time to
         time have to comply;
6.       General  economic  conditions  in Australia and Indonesia and its major
         trading  partners  and  in particular inflation rates, commodity supply
         and demand factors and industrial disruption;
7.       Risks  inherent  in  exploration  including,  amongst   other   things,
         successful exploration, identification, development and exploitation of
         use of resources and reserves, and competent management;
8.       Political stability of Indonesia.

Results of Operations
         The  discussion  set forth below  relates to the  Company's  results of
operations as prepared in accordance with Australian GAAP.

                                       27

Year Ended December 31, 1999.
         The Company's  gross revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were
A$ 10,555,450.  At December 31, 1999 the Company settled its debt to MMC through
the sale of its  interest in SC41  Phillipines.  This  interest had been written
down to zero and hence the extinguishment of this debt gives rise to an abnormal
pre tax profit of A$10.6 million.

         There was no operating  revenue from  operations  in Indonesia for both
the year ended December 31, 1999 and the twelve months ended December 31, 1998.

         The Company  incurred an operating  loss before tax of A$539,657 in the
twelve months ended December 31, 1999 compared to a loss of  A$20,362,087 in the
twelve months ended December 31, 1998.  This decrease in operating loss resulted
primarily  from the  settlement of debt to MMC through the sale of the Company's
interest in SC41 Philippines to MMC.

Inflationary and Other Economic Pressures
         The Company is not currently  generating  revenues from its oil and gas
operations.  Future revenues in this segment are governed primarily by worldwide
commodity  pricing.  No immediate  effect in respect to inflation and changes on
prices  is  expected.  However,  inflationary  pressures  affect  the  Company's
exploration  and  development  expenditure  which is primarily  incurred in U.S.
dollars.  The directors  estimation of inflation is considered in regards to the
general  state of the world  economy,  and of the United States and Indonesia in
particular.  This exposure to  inflationary  pressure is dependent on the mix of
goods and services provided to the Company by suppliers,  sourced  internally in
Indonesia  and  externally.  At this stage the Company is unable to quantify the
mix of inflationary pressures from different sources that will affect the supply
of goods and services to the Company.

         The average official government released Indonesian inflation rates for
the seven years beginning 1992 were as follows:
                      1992      1993     1994     1995    1996   1997     1998

Inflation Rates %       4.9      9.77     9.24     8.64    6.47   11.05   -20av.

         It is the policy of the  directors  to  regularly  monitor  the cost of
operations on a per barrel basis in respect to viability of individual  projects
and they will take any necessary actions.

         The Company's  operations in these industries comprise  exploration and
development expenditure and therefore are not affected by inflationary and price
pressures of oil and gas product pricing.  However, this expenditure is effected
by normal  inflationary  pressures on the Company's general expenditure on goods
and services.

Gvernment Policies
         The Company has  considered the issue of political risk in the Republic
of Indonesia in which the Company has acquired assets and will continue to do so
as a  matter  of  normal  business  practice.  The  Company's  expected  initial
producing  properties  are  located  in  Indonesia  where  there has been a long
established  petroleum  industry,  with significant  elements of foreign capital
investments and no history of expropriation.

         The Republic of Indonesia  is a separate  national  state and like many
other national  states  regulates,  controls and taxes  activities  conducted by
residents and  non-residents  in the country and the flow of investment into the
country and the return of capital out of the country.  All of these controls and
regulations  are subject to change from time to time.  Some of the  interests of

                                       28

<PAGE>

the Company in  Indonesia  are by way of contract  between a  subsidiary  of the
Company and bodies which are wholly owned arms of the Government of the Republic
of Indonesia.  These  contracts are subject to controls and  regulations  by the
contracting  parties and by the  government of the Republic of Indonesia.  These
factors,  in  addition  to the usual  exploration  and  production  risk and the
economic and  political  stability of the host  country,  Indonesia  must all be
taken into account in relation to the Company's operations in Indonesia.

         Other than the effect of the  government's  economic fiscal monetary or
political policies of the Republic of Indonesia,  or factors upon the operations
of the Company,  these  policies or factors do not affect  investments by United
States Nationals in Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
         At December 31, 1999, the Company had a working  capital  deficit of A$
1,951,526  compared to  A$15,431,298  at December  31,  1998.  This  decrease in
working capital deficit resulted mainly from the settlement of debt to MMC.

         Cash flow used in operating  activities  decreased from  A$2,495,512 in
the year ended  December  31,1998 to  A$1,982,595 in the year ended December 31,
1999.  The primary  differences  for  decrease in funds used was due to the slow
down of activity, mainly in Jakarta.

         Cash flow used for investing  decreased from  A$9,402,910  for the year
ended  December 31, 1998 to A$ nil in the twelve months ended December 31, 1999.
This  decrease  in funds used for  investing  activities  was  primarily  due to
decreased payments for acquisition,  exploration,  evaluation and development of
oil fields.

         The  Company   generated  cash  flows  from  financing   activities  of
A$9,115,442   in  the  twelve  months  ended   December  31,  1999  compared  to
A$10,055,062 year ended December 31, 1998. Cash flows from financing  activities
principally  comprise  the issue of  ordinary  shares in the  Company by private
placement and the conversion of share options into ordinary share capital of the
Company.

         For further details on the foregoing cash flow movements of the Company
refer to Item 17. Financial Statements - Cashflow Statement.

 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CITYVIEW ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED

Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to
provide  reasonable  assurance  whether the financial report is free of material
misstatement.  Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence
supporting the amounts and other  disclosures in the financial  report,  and the
evaluation of accounting policies  and significant  accounting estimates.  These
procedures  have been  undertaken  to form an opinion  whether,  in all material
respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with Accounting
Standards and other mandatory  professional reporting requirements and statutory
requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our  understanding
of  the  company's  and  the  consolidated  entity's  financial  position,   and
performance  as  represented  by the results of their  operations and their cash
flows.

The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.

      year ended on that date; and
      (ii) complying with Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations;
      and

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above,  attention is drawn to the
following  matter.  As a result of the  matters  described  in Note 1 (d) to the
financial  report there is a significant  uncertainty  whether the  consolidated
entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will
realise  its assets  and  extinguish  its  liabilities  in the normal  course of
business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
for the financial year ended 31 December 1999

1.   Summary of Accounting Policies

     Financial Reporting Framework

     The financial  report is a general purpose  financial report which has been
     prepared in accordance with the  Corporations  Law,  applicable  Accounting
     Standards and Urgent Issues Group Consensus  Views, and complies with other
     requirements of the law.

     The financial  report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost and
     except  where  stated,  do not take into account  changing  money values or
     current   valuations  of  non  current   assets.   Cost  is  based  on  the
     consideration given in exchange for assets.

     Significant Accounting Policies

     Accounting  policies are selected  and applied in a manner,  which  ensures
     that  the  resultant  financial   information  satisfies  the  concepts  of
     relevance  and  reliability,  thereby,  ensuring  that the substance of the
     underlying transactions and other events is reported.

     The  following  significant  accounting  policies  have been adopted in the
     preparation and presentation of the financial report:

     (a) Foreign Currency

     All  foreign  currency  transactions  during the  financial  year have been
     brought to  account  using the  exchange  rate in effect at the date of the
     transaction.   Foreign  currency  monetary  items  at  reporting  date  are
     translated at the exchange rate existing at that date.

     Exchange  differences are brought to account in the profit and loss account
     in the period in which they arise.

     (b) Taxation

     The company adopts the liability  method of tax effect  accounting  whereby
     the income tax expense shown in the profit and loss statement is calculated
     on operating profit adjusted for permanent  differences.  The tax effect of
     timing  differences  which  arise  from items  being  brought to account in
     different periods for income and accounting purposes, is carried forward in
     the balance sheet as a future tax benefit or a deferred tax liability.

     Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of
     the asset is assured beyond  reasonable  doubt.  Future income tax benefits
     relating to tax losses are only brought to account  when their  realisation

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
for the financial year ended 31 December 1999

     (c) Acquisition, Exploration and Development Expenditure

     The  consolidated  entity has entered into contracts to develop and operate
     oil fields in  Indonesia.  These  contracts  are under  standard  terms for
     foreign  companies  operating in  Indonesia.  These amounts are recorded at
     directors valuation.  The contracts are subject to controls and regulations
     by the controlling parties and by the Republic of Indonesia and as such are
     impacted  by the  political  stability  of the  host  country.  Whilst  the
     consolidated  entity's  share  of  revenue  from  shareable  oil  from  its
     operations  in Indonesia  will be  receivable  in US dollars,  the ultimate
     recoverability of the acquisition,  exploration and development expenditure
     is dependent upon the future  development,  exploitation and/or sale of the
     respective  areas of interest.  The directors are not able to determine the
     impact (if any) that the above factors, together with any fall in world oil
     prices, may have on the future carrying values of the above carried forward
     expenditure.

     (d) Going Concern

     The  financial  statements  have been  prepared  adopting the going concern
     convention which assumes  continuity of normal business  activities and the
     realisation  of assets and the  settlement of  liabilities  in the ordinary
     course of business.  Notwithstanding  that the consolidated  entity and the
     company  have  as at 31  December  1999  working  capital  deficiencies  of
     $1,951,526 and  $1,982,150  respectively  the going concern  convention has
     been adopted as agreements  have been signed  whereby the works programs on
     CityViews  areas of interest in Indonesia  will be met by a joint  venturer
     and  negotiations  are in  progress  to  raise  sufficient  funds  to  meet
     CityViews ongoing  operations.  If the consolidated  entity and the company
     are unable to continue as a going concern,  they may be required to realise
     their  assets and  extinguish  their  liabilities  other than in the normal
     course of  business  and at  amounts  different  from  those  stated in the
     financial report.

     (e) Depreciation

     Depreciation is provided on property,  plant and equipment,  excluding land
     and buildings. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to
     write off the net cost of each asset over its  expected  useful  life.  The
     following estimated useful lives are used:

     Plant and equipment            3 years
     Leasehold improvements         5 years

     (f) Investments

     Investments in controlled entities are recorded at cost, less any provision
     for diminution. Other investments are recorded at cost.

     (g) Accounts Payable

     Trade  payables  and  other  accounts   payable  are  recognised  when  the
     consolidated  entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from
     the purchase of goods and services.

     (h) Borrowings

     Debentures,  bank loans and other loans are  recorded at an amount equal to
     the net proceeds  received.  Interest  expense is  recognised on an accrual
     basis.

     (i) Financial instruments issued by the company

     Debt and equity  instruments  are  classified as either  liabilities  or as
     equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements

     (j) Receivables

     Trade  receivables  and other  receivables are recorded at amounts due less
     any provision for doubtful debts.

     (k) Recoverable Amount of Non-current Assets

     Non-current  assets  are  written  down to  recoverable  amount  where  the
     carrying value of any  non-current  asset exceeds  recoverable  amount.  In
     determining  recoverable  amount  expected  net  cash  flows  have not been
     discounted.

     (l) Non Sale of Western Resources NL

     The financial  statements  for the year ended 31 December 1998 included the
     effects of the sale of the Company's 100% interest in Western  Resources NL
     and its subsidiaries. The aggregate loss recorded as at 31 December 1998 of
     this transaction to the consolidated entity was $14,258,505.  Subsequent to
     the issue of the financial  statements  for the year ended 31 December 1998
     the sale was  voided  and as a result  the sale  transaction  has had to be
     reversed.  All assets  associated  with the Western  Resources  NL group of
     companies  have  been  written  off and all  liabilities  have  been  fully
     reflected in the these  financial  statements.  Comparatives  have not been
     changed and the reversal has been reflected in the current period.

At 30 December 1999 the Company  settled its debt to MMC through the sale of its
interest in SC41 Phillipines. This interest had been written down to zero in the
financial statements of CityView and hence the extinguishment of this debt gives
rise to an abnormal pre tax profit by virtue of its size of A$10.6million

The  consolidated  entity has entered into  contracts to develop and operate oil
fields in  Indonesia.  These  contracts  are under  standard  terms for  foreign
companies operating in Indonesia.  The directors valuation reflects a write down
of the carried forward costs to the directors  assessment of recoverable amount.
The directors  valuation will be amortized over the life of the various projects
once production  commences  (refer Note 1 (c)). The ultimate  recoverability  of
these assets is dependent upon the future  development,  exploration and/or sale
of the respective areas of interest.

(c) Credit Risk

Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that a  counterparty  will  default  on its
contractual  obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity.
The  consolidated  entity has  adopted  the policy of only  dealing  with credit
worthy  counterparties  and obtaining  sufficient  collateral or other  security
where  appropriate,  as a means of  mitigating  the risk of  financial  loss for
defaults. The consolidated entity measures credit risk on fair value basis.

The  consolidated  entity does not have any significant  credit risk exposure to
any  single   counterparty  or  any  group  of  counterparties   having  similar
characteristics.

The carrying amount of financial  assets  recorded in the financial  statements,
net of any provision for losses,  represents the  consolidated  entity's maximum
exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral or
other security obtained.

(d) Currencies hedges

The consolidated  entity has not entered into forward foreign exchange contracts
to hedge the exchange rate risk arising from transactions in foreign currencies.

(e) Net Fair Value

The carrying amount of financial  assets and financial  liabilities  recorded in
the financial statements represents their respective net fair values, determined
in accordance with the accounting  policies disclosed in note 1 to the financial
statements.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements
for the financial year ended 31 December 1999



28.Contingent Liabilities
(i)The parent entity, CityView has agreed to provide financial support to enable
its  subsidiaries  to meet  their  debts as and when they fall due over the next
twelve months.

(ii)The Company has assets in Indonesia. Some of the interests in Indonesia  are
by way of contracts with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia,  and other
Indonesian entities.  These contracts are subject to controls and regulations by
contracting  parties by the Government of Indonesia.  These factors, in addition
to the usual  exploration  and  production  risk and the economic and  political
stability of Indonesia must all be taken into account.

(iii)As  the  Company  is  in  the  process  of winding  down its  interests  in
Indonesia there is potential for contingent  liabilities to arise. The directors
have included in the financial  statements all such  liabilities,  however it is
possible that  additional  liabilities  may arise which have not been  accounted
for. After considering the financial  position of the subsidiaries,  the company
has written down its assets as  appropriate  and raised an additional  provision
for A$400,000.

(iv)In  June  1998  CityView  Energy  Corporation  Limited   entered   into   an
agreement with Consolidated  Securities SA (Consolidated) by which  Consolidated
agreed to provide CityView with various consulting services, and CityView agreed
to pay fees,  commissions and expenses to Consolidated.  In June 1999 a writ was
issued  by  Consolidated   against  CityView   claiming  the  Australian  dollar
equivalent of UK 78,795.62 Pounds under the agreement. CityView is defending the
writ, but the outcome of the proceedings cannot be predicted at this stage.

29.Non Sale of Western Resources NL

The  financial  statements  for the year ended 31  December  1998  included  the
effects of the sale of the Company's  100% interest in Western  Resources NL and
its  subsidiaries.  The  aggregate  loss recorded as at 31 December 1998 of this
transaction to the consolidated entity was $14,258,505.  Subsequent to the issue
of the  financial  statements  for the year ended 31 December  1998 the sale was
voided and as a result the sale  transaction has had to be reversed.  All assets
associated  with the Western  Resources NL group of companies  have been written
off and all liabilities have been fully reflected in these financial statements.
The  comparatives  have not been changed and the reversal has been  reflected in
the current period.
