ITEM 1.  Business.

Business Overview

         Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation (the  "Company"),  formerly known as C2
Technologies,  Inc., was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Nevada on
February 25, 1997. C2 Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Tidelands Oil & Gas
Corporation  on November  19,  1998.  The Company  has five  subsidiaries  named
Tidelands Oil Corporation  (TOC) and Tidelands Gas Corporation  (TGC), Rio Bravo
Energy, LLC, Sonora Pipeline, LLC, Reef International, LLC.

         The Company's  plan of operations  has been  refocused  towards our gas
processing plant and pipeline interest along with a new  international  pipeline
crossing.

         Tidelands Oil Corporation  was formed in May 1985.  Since inception and
through the second quarter of 2001, Tidelands Oil Corporation had devoted all of
its  efforts to  acquiring  control of leases  which  comprised a portion of the
Sacatosa Field in Maverick County,  Texas.  The Company  discontinued all of its
activities related to oil and gas producing  properties during 2001.  Management
proceeded  to  dispose  all  Company  interests  in its oil and gas  properties,
terminated all leases,  disbanded all joint ventures and settled  related claims
and disputes.

         Tidelands Gas Corporation was formed on August 29, 1996.  Tidelands Gas
Corporation was formed primarily for the purpose of acquiring the Delhi Pipeline
System for use as a gas  transportation  outlet  for the  shallow  gas  reserves
underlying Tideland's leases.

         Tidelands  Gas  Corporation   organized  two  Texas  Limited  Liability
companies, Rio Bravo Energy, LLC and Sonora Pipeline, LLC.

         Rio Bravo  Energy,  LLC was  formed on August 10,  1998.  It was formed
primarily to operate the Chittim Gas Processing  Plant.  Rio Bravo Energy,  LLC.
purchased  the Chittim gas  processing  plant from Conoco,  Inc.  This plant was
purchased  by Rio Bravo in 1999 and  processes  natural  gas from  Conoco  Oil's
Sacatosa Field which  consists of  approximately  3000 wells.  It also processes
natural gas from Merit Energy's Pena Creek Field which consists of approximately
300 wells.  The gas plant has the capability to fractionate the natural gas into
commercial grade propane and butane.

         Sonora  Pipeline,  LLC  was  formed  in  January  1998.  It was  formed
primarily to operate the Sonora pipeline  network which delivers  natural gas to
the Rio Bravo Chittim Gas Processing  Plant.  Sonora's pipeline network consists
of approximately 80 miles of gas pipeline.

         Sonora will  transport  gas produced  from various gas  suppliers.  Rio
Bravo will  operate  the gas plant.  It will  process  the  natural gas into gas
products such as natural gasoline,  propane,  butane. Rio Bravo will also market
the gas products.

         Sonora  Pipeline and Rio Bravo  transport and process gas for suppliers
such as Merit Energy, Conoco, and Cuantro Petroluem,  Inc. The maximum operating
capacity  of gas  plant is 10  million  cubic  feet of gas per day.  The  Sonoro
pipeline capacity is greater than the gas processing plant's present capacity.

         Rio Bravo intends to ship all propane and butane products to Mexico and
to sell natural gasolines to domestic customers.

         The Texas Railroad Commission  regulates all aspects of the production,
transportation and processing of petroleum products.

                                       3
<PAGE>


         Reef  International,  LLC was formed to obtain permits and construct an
international  pipeline  crossing  between  Texas and Mexico.  The pipeline will
transport  natural  gas to Piedra  Negras,  Mexico for  distribution  by CONAGAS
(Cianacional DE Gas, S.A. DE C.V.).  Reef will also transport propane and butane
products  into Mexico  storage  facilities  with this  pipeline.  Reef is in the
permitting process of this project.

Competition

         Tidelands  will  compete  for  gas  suppliers  and  petroleum   product
purchasers.  This competition will be against  companies with greater  financial
and other resources.  Competitive factors will include price, contract terms and
quality  of  service,  including  pipeline  connection  times  and  distribution
efficiencies  and financial  resources.  The Company will face  competition from
other producers and suppliers,  including competition from other local and world
wide energy suppliers.

Employees

The Company has seven employees,  including the Company  officers,  two clerical
and  accounting  personnel,   three  field  personnel  and  two  contract  plant
operators.


ITEM 2.  Properties

         Rio Bravo  Energy,  LLC owns and  operates  the Chittim Gas  Processing
Plant which is located in Maverick, County, Texas.

         Sonora  Pipeline,  LLC owns the Sonora Pipeline  network  consisting of
approximately 80 miles of pipeline.

         The  Company  leases its  executive  office on a  month-to-month  basis
paying $1,350  monthly.  Its field office is leased at $400  monthly.  The field
office lease expires October 1, 2002.


ITEM 3.  Legal Proceedings

         In June 2001,  the  Company  commenced  an action in the United  States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas against Swartz Private Equity,
LLC ("Swartz").  Shortly thereafter,  Swartz commenced an action in the Superior
Court of Fulton County,  Georgia which was removed to the United States District
Court  for  the  Northern  District  of  Georgia.  The  Texas  action  has  been
transferred to the Northern District of Georgia and both actions are being dealt
with jointly for discovery purposes.

         The Company seeks declaratory and rescissionary  relief seeking to have
the Court  declare that the  agreements  between the Company and Swartz are void
and  unenforceable and rescission in amounts to be established at trial which it
alleges to be $20,000,000.

         The Swartz action seeks to enforce the agreements signed by the parties
and the  issuance  of  1,157,150  shares of common  stock,  payment of a claimed
termination fee in the amount of $200,000 and damages for the alleged failure of
the Company to issue the shares claimed by Swartz including damages arising from
any market fluctuations.  Alternatively, Swartz's complaint seeks a direction to
the Company to specifically perform the agreements.

         In addition,  Swartz's complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount
for claimed defamation concerning Swartz.


                                       4
<PAGE>

         Further,  Swartz's complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount for
claimed  "international  interference with contractual relations and intentional
interference with business relations".  The Swartz complaint also seeks punitive
damages.

         The above two actions are in the discovery  stages. At this preliminary
stage, no evaluation of the outcome of the  litigations can be made.  Management
is  responding  to these  litigations  by  vigorously  pressing its position and
contesting  those  taken by  Swartz.  Settlement  discussions  have been  opened
between the parties but have not resulted in any offer being made by either side
which is seriously considered by the other.


ITEM 4.   Submission of Matters to vote of Security Holders

No matters were brought to a vote of the Security Holders during the quarter
ended December 31, 2001.

ITEM 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

         The following discussion of our results of operations and liquidity and
capital resources should be read in conjunction with our condensed  consolidated
financial  statements  and related  notes  thereto  appearing  elsewhere in this
report.  All  information in the discussion and references to the years 2000 and
2001 are based on our fiscal year that ends on December 31.

         The Company has discontinued its oil and gas well producing  operations
during 2000 and 2001. We have  reclassified  2000 and 2001 operating  results as
discontinued operations where applicable.

OVERVIEW:

         The Company  completely  refocused its plan of operations  from oil and
gas  production to natural gas processing  and pipeline  transportation  and the
development of an international pipeline crossing to Mexico.


                                       6
<PAGE>


         In recent  months,  the  Company  has begun to  increase  the volume of
natural gas  processed  by  contracting  with gas  producers  in the area of our
pipeline network.  Efforts are continuing to contract additional natural gas for
processing.  The additional  gas will allow us to increase  shipments of natural
gas products to end-user customers.

         The  Company is  currently  evaluating  several  pipeline  systems  for
possible  acquisition.  We have executed an acquisition  agreement to purchase a
pipeline  system  that would add two  hundred-twenty  five (225)  miles of large
diameter pipe to our pipeline  network.  We will add all natural gas gathered in
this pipeline system to the natural gas processed by our processing facility.

         We established an additional  affiliate to obtain the necessary permits
for and to construct our proposed international pipeline crossing to Mexico. The
permitting  process  for the state of Texas  has been  completed  with  approval
granted.  Federal  approvals  needed are awaiting  execution by the  appropriate
federal officials after completing the review process.

         The international  pipeline crossing will consist of a twelve (12) inch
natural gas line and six (6) inch  propane/butane line between Texas and Mexico.
The natural gas pipeline will transport  natural gas to Piedras  Negras,  Mexico
for distribution by a qualified  existing Mexican  Company.  The  propane/butane
line will allow the  Company to  transport  propane  and  butane  products  into
storage  facilities in Mexico.  The Company is actively  exploring other similar
opportunities  to  provide  natural  gas and  it's  by-products  to  Mexico  for
distribution by Mexican organizations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         REVENUES:  The Company reported  revenues of $1,059,023 from continuing
operations  for the year ended  December 31, 2001 as compared with revenues from
continuing  operations  of $94,400 for the year ended  December 31, 2000. If the
Company's  natural gas  processing  plant and  pipeline  were 100% owned for the
entire year of 2000 instead of only December 2000,  comparable revenues would be
$1,153,109.

         TOTAL COSTS AND  EXPENSES:  Total costs and  expenses  from  continuing
operations increased from $370,484 for 2000 to $2,760,080 for 2001. The increase
of $2,389,596 includes $835,992 of cost of sales due to gas processing plant and
pipeline  activities  for 12 months during 2001,  and only December in 2000, and
costs  associated  with  establishing  further  domestic and  international  gas
processing  and pipeline  operations.  If the natural gas  processing  plant and
pipeline  were 100% owned for the entire year of 2000  instead of only  December
2000, total costs and expenses would be $1,377,014.

         COST OF SALES: The cost of sales (purchases) from continuing operations
increased  from $71,833 for 2000 to $907,825 for 2001.  The increase of $835,992
is primarily  related to the ownership  period of the gas  processing  plant and
pipeline  being the full year of 2000. If the natural gas  processing  plant and
pipeline were 100% owned for the full year of 2000, total cost of sales would be
$1,027,806.

           GENERAL  AND  ADMINSTRATIVE  EXPENSES:     General  and
administrative  expenses from continuing  operations increased from $286,651 for
2000 to $1,716,301 for 2001. The increase of $1,429,650 in 2001 is primarily due
to salaries,  legal fees,  consulting  fees and other costs  associated with the


                                       7
<PAGE>

establishment  of an international  crossing to Mexico and related  transactions
and interest and  financing  costs of borrowings  connected  with a secured loan
obtained  in  December  2000 to acquire  the 50%  ownership  of the  natural gas
processing plant and pipeline entity owned by others.

         INCOME TAX: The pre-tax loss for the 2001 was ($2,606,265)  compared to
($954,557) for 2000, an increase of $1,651,708.

         ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW SUBSIDIARIES:  We established two new subsidiaries
during 2001; Reef  International LLC, a Texas LLC, was organized for the purpose
of obtaining the necessary  permits and to construct our proposed  international
pipeline crossing to Mexico;  and Reef Marketing LLC, a Texas LLC,  organized to
conduct the business  operations  of the  pipelines  with  Mexican  distributors
purchasing our natural gas products.

         Initially the Company owned a 47.5% interest of Reef  International LLC
which  interest  was  increased  later to 100% when the  interests  owned by our
industry  partner  and  another  small  interest  owner  were  acquired  by Reef
International LLC.

         LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES:  Capital  expenditures  during 2001
totaled $199,710 as compared to $653,909 during 2000.

         Total debt increased from $2,329,021 at December 31, 2000 to $3,840,674
at December  31, 2001 of which  $1,090,000  was unpaid  officer's  salaries  and
$444,105  was loans  from  officers.  Total  debt as of  December  31,  2001 and
December  31,  2000  expressed  as a  percentage  of the sum of  total  debt and
shareholder's equity was 231.6% and 149.8% respectively.

         Net loss for the year  ended  December  31,  2001 was  ($2,606,265)  an
increase of 273.0% from the net loss of ($954,557)  for the year ended  December
31, 2000. Diluted net loss per common share increased 252.2% to ($0.116) for the
year ended  December 31, 2001  compared to ($0.046) for the year ended  December
31,  2000.  The net loss per share  calculation  for the year  December 31, 2001
included an increase in actual and equivalent shares outstanding.

         We currently do not have the liquidity or capital resources to fund our
operations  without raising  capital either from  additional  borrowing and, or,
from  the  sale  of  additional  shares  of  stock.  The  Company  is  currently
negotiating a funding of $10,000,000  subject to the receipt of the approved and
executed Federal permits for the planned international crossing to Mexico.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation
Corpus Christi, Texas

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet of Tidelands Oil &
Gas Corporation as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements
of  stockholders'  (deficit),  operations,  and cash  flows for the years  ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation as of December 31, 2001 and the results of their
consolidated  operations and their  consolidated  cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 in conformity  with accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2001

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------   ------------------------------------------

         This summary of significant  accounting policies is presented to assist
         in  understanding   these  consolidated   financial   statements.   The
         consolidated  financial  statements  and notes are  representations  of
         management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  The
         accounting  policies  used conform to  accounting  priniples  generally
         accepted  in The United  States of America  and have been  consistently
         applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

         Organization
         ------------

         Tidelands Oil & Gas Corporation  (formerly C2 Technologies,  Inc.) (the
         Company) was  incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 25, 1997.
         On  October  21,  1998  the  Company  acquired  all of the  issued  and
         outstanding  capital stock of Tidelands Oil  Corporation  and Tidelands
         Gas  Corporation.  On November 19, 1998,  the legal name of the Company
         was changed to Tidelands Oil and Gas Corporation. On April 19, 2000 the
         Company  entered  into  a  business  combination  agreement  with  OMNI
         Acquisition   Corporation.   (OMNI).   OMNI,   a  Nevada   corporation,
         incorporated  January  12,  2000,  had filed a Form 10-SB  Registration
         statement  with  the   Securities  and  Exchange   Commission  and  was
         classified as a "blank check reporting company".  On May 11, 2000 OMNI,
         a wholly owned subsidiary, was merged into the Company. The Company was
         the  surviving  corporation  and OMNI  the  dissolved  corporation.  On
         December 1, 2000 the Company acquired the remaining equity (50%) of Rio
         Bravo  Energy,   LLC.  (Rio  Bravo).   Accordingly,   Rio  Bravo  is  a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

         Nature of Operations
         --------------------

         The Company is engaged in the  transmission  and  processing of natural
         gas in southern Texas.

         Principles of Consolidation
         ---------------------------

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
         Company   and   its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries.    All   significant
         inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.

         Fair Value of Financial Instruments
         -----------------------------------

         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 107 "disclosure about
         fair value of financial  instruments,"  requires the  disclosure of the
         fair value of off-and-on  balance sheet financial  instruments.  Unless
         otherwise  indicated,  the  fair  values  of all  reported  assets  and
         liabilities,  which represent financial  instruments (none of which are
         held for trading  purposes),  approximate  the carrying  values of such
         amounts.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
------   ------------------------------------------------------

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------

         The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with
         accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of
         America requires management to use estimates and make judgements. While
         management  has considered  all available  information,  actual amounts
         could  differ  from  those  reported  as assets,  liabilities,  related
         revenues,   costs  and   expenses   and  the   disclosed   amounts   of
         contingencies.

         Inventories
         -----------

         Inventories  consisting  of natural gas liquids are valued at the lower
         of average  cost or market  using the  first-in  and  first-out  (FIFO)
         basis.

         Property, Plant and Equipment
         -----------------------------

         Property,   plan  and  equipment  are  recorded  at  historical   cost.
         Depreciation  of  property,  plant and  equipment  is  provided  on the
         straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the related
         assets.  Maintenance  and repairs are charged to operations.  Additions
         and  betterments,  which  extend  the  useful  lives of the  assets are
         capitalized.  Upon  retirement or disposal of the  property,  plant and
         equipment,  the cost and accumulated  depreciation  are eliminated from
         the  accounts,   and  the  resulting  gain  or  loss  is  reflected  in
         operations.

         Concentration of Credit Risk
         ----------------------------

         The  Company's  cash  balances in financial  institutions  at times may
         exceed  federally  insured limits.  At December 31, 2001, the uninsured
         cash  balances  total  $195,963.  The company has not  experienced  any
         losses  in  such  accounts  and  believes  it is  not  exposed  to  any
         significant credit risk on cash.

         Revenue  from three  customers  amounted to 100% of net gas  processing
         revenues for the year ended  December 31, 2001.  Amounts due from these
         customers included in accounts receivable were $63,296.

         Intangible Assets
         -----------------

         Intangible assets,  which primarily consist of the cost of in excess of
         the fair value of tangible assets and liabilities  acquired (goodwill),
         are amortized, by the straight-line method, over, an estimated economic
         useful life of the underlying  values of the assets acquired of fifteen
         years.

                         TIDELANDS OIL & GAS CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2001


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
------   ------------------------------------------------------

         Long-Lived Assets
         -----------------

         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards 121 (SFAS 121) "Accounting
         for the  Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of," requires
         that  long-lived  assets to be held and used by the Company be reviewed
         for impairment  whenever  events or changes in  circumstances  indicate
         that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required,
         impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on
         the fair value of the asset and long-lived assets to be disposed of are
         reported  at the lower of  carrying  amount or fair  value less cost to
         sell.

         The  requirements of SFAS 121 and the evaluation by the Company did not
         have a significant  effect on the  consolidated  financial  position or
         results of consolidated operations.

         Income Taxes
         ------------

         The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance  with Statement of
         Financial Accounting  Standards 109 (SFAS 109).  "Accounting for Income
         Taxes,"  which  requires the  establishment  of a deferred tax asset or
         liability for the  recognition of future  deductions or taxable amounts
         and operating  loss  carryforwards,  deferred tax expense or benefit is
         recognized as a result of the change in the deferred asset or liability
         during the year. If necessary,  the Company will  establish a valuation
         allowance  to reduce any  deferred  tax asset to an amount  which will,
         more likely than not, be realized.

         Net Earnings Per Common Share
         -----------------------------

         The  Company  accounts  for  earnings  per  share  in  accordance  with
         statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard 128 ("SFAS 128") "Earnings
         per Share".  Basic  earnings  per share is based upon the net  earnings
         applicable to common shares after preferred  dividend  requirements and
         upon the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  during
         the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per share  reflects  the effect of the
         assumed  conversions  of  convertible  securities and exercise of stock
         options  only in the  periods  in which  such  affect  would  have been
         dilutive.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
------   -----------------------

         During the year ended  December 31, 2001, the Board of Directors of the
         Company authorized  management to discontinue all activities related to
         oil and gas-producing operations.  Management then proceeded to dispose
         of oil and gas  properties,  terminate  all  leases,  disband all joint
         ventures and settle all claims and disputes.  As a result of management
         activities,  a summary of  discontinued  operations for the years ended
         December 31 are as follows:

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
------   ------------

         On April 19,  2000 the  company  entered  into a  business  combination
         agreement with OMNI Acquisition  Corporation (OMNI), an inactive Nevada
         corporation,  incorporated  January 12, 2000, in which the Company will
         acquire OMNI in a share exchange  transaction  followed by a short form
         merger.  On February  18,  2000,  OMNI filed a Form 10-SB  Registration
         Statement  with  the   Securities  and  Exchange   Commission  and  was
         classified as a "blank check reporting company".

         Pursuant to the business combination  agreement,  the Company exchanged
         250,000  shares  of  restricted  common  stock,  valued  at  $250,  for
         5,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of OMNI. OMNI had $-0- revenues
         and $-0- assets.  The company  accounted  for this  transaction  by the
         purchase  method.  On May 11, 2000 OMNI merged  into the  Company.  The
         Company  was the  surviving  corporation  and  OMNI  was the  dissolved
         corporation.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
------   ------------------------

         On December 1, 2000,  the Company  acquired  the  remaining  50% of its
         investment in Rio Bravo Energy,  LLC. (Rio Bravo) and its  wholly-owned
         subsidiary  Sonora  Pipeline,  LLC.,  for a  total  purchase  price  of
         $505,558.  The purchase of Rio Bravo was  accounted for by the purchase
         method,  whereby the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed
         are  recorded at their fair  value.  The excess of the amount paid over
         the fair value of Rio  Bravo's  identifiable  net  assets was  $57,029,
         which has been reflected in the balance sheet as goodwill.  The company
         expects to benefit from the goodwill  acquired over a period of fifteen
         years.

         In  September  2001,  the  Company  received  back  its   non-ownership
         interests in Reef International,  LLC. (Reef). Accordingly, Reef is now
         a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

         In  accordance  with  Accounting   Principle  Board  Opinion  #16,  the
         unaudited proforma condensed  consolidated results of operations of the

         environmental and cleanup related costs of a non-capital nature when it
         is both probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount
         can be  reasonably  estimated.  Although it is not possible to quantify
         with any degree of  certainty  the  financial  impact of the  Company's
         continuing   compliance   efforts,   management   believes  any  future

         adverse  effect on the  financial  condition  or  reported  results  of
         operations of the Company.

         stock, at a value of $1,886, and a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares

         District  Court  for the  Southern  District  of Texas  against  Swartz
         Private Equity, LLC ("Swartz"). Shortly thereafter, Swartz commenced an
         action  in the  Superior  Court of  Fulton  County,  Georgia  which was
         removed to the United States  District Court for the Northern  District
         of  Georgia.  The Texas  action has been  transferred  to the  Northern
         District of Georgia and both  actions are being dealt with  jointly for
         discovery purposes.

         The Company seeks declaratory and rescissionary  relief seeking to have
         the Court  declare that the  agreements  between the Company and Swartz
         are void and  unenforceable and rescission in amounts to be established
         at trial which it alleges to be $20,000,000.

         The Swartz action seeks to enforce the agreements signed by the parties
         and the  issuance of  1,157,150  shares of common  stock,  payment of a
         claimed  termination  fee in the amount of $200,000 and damages for the
         alleged  failure of the  Company to issue the shares  claimed by Swartz
         including damages arising from any market fluctuations.  Alternatively,
         Swartz's  complaint  seeks a direction  to the Company to  specifically
         perform the agreements.

         In addition,  Swartz's complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount
         for claimed defamation concerning Swartz.

         Further,  Swartz's complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount for
         claimed  "international  interference  with  contractual  relations and
         intentional interference with business relations". The Swartz complaint
         also seeks punitive damages.
