                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  May 31, 2003

     The accompanying interim financial statements of PYR Energy Corporation are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The results of
operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the entire year.

     We have prepared the financial statements included herein pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading and
recommend that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K/A1 for the year
ended August 31, 2002.

     PYR Energy Corporation (formerly known as Mar Ventures Inc. ("Mar")) was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 27, 1996. Mar was
a public company with no significant operations as of July 31, 1997. On August
6, 1997, Mar acquired all the interests in PYR Energy LLC ("PYR LLC") (a
Colorado limited liability company organized on May 31, 1996), a development
stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 7. PYR LLC, an independent oil and gas exploration company, was engaged in
the acquisition of undeveloped oil and gas interests for exploration and
exploitation in the Rocky Mountain region and California. As of August 6, 1997,
PYR LLC had acquired only non-producing leases and acreage, and no exploration
had commenced on the properties. Upon completion of the acquisition of PYR LLC
by Mar, PYR LLC ceased to exist as a separate entity. Mar remained as the
surviving legal entity and, effective November 12, 1997, Mar changed its name to
PYR Energy Corporation. Effective July 2, 2001, the Company was re-incorporated
in Maryland through the merger of the Company into a wholly owned subsidiary,
PYR Energy Corporation, a Maryland corporation.


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

     CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider as
cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less at the time of purchase. At May 31, 2003, there were no cash
equivalents.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Furniture and equipment is recorded at cost.
Depreciation is provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets of three to five years. Expenditures for
replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs
are charged to operations as incurred.

     OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES - We follow the full cost method to account for our
oil and gas exploration and development activities. Under the full cost method,
all costs incurred which are directly related to oil and gas exploration and
development are capitalized and subjected to depreciation and depletion.
Depletable costs also include estimates of future development costs of proved
reserves. Costs related to undeveloped oil and gas properties may be excluded
from depletable costs until such properties are evaluated as either proved or
unproved. The net capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling limitation. Gains

                                       6

or losses upon disposition of oil and gas properties are treated as adjustments
to capitalized costs, unless the disposition represents a significant portion of
the Company's proved reserves.

     Unevaluated oil and gas properties consists of ongoing exploratory drilling
costs, for which no results have been obtained, and of leases and acreage that
we acquire for our exploration and development activities. The cost of these
non-producing leases is recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value.

     We have adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. At August 31, 2002,
we had no proved reserves and recorded an impairment charge against the net
value of our evaluated properties of approximately $11,723,000 based on the
ceiling test limitation. This charge relates primarily to costs incurred at our
East Lost Hills project. Although properties may be considered as evaluated for
purposes of the ceiling test and included in the impairment calculation, until
these properties are completely abandoned, we may continue to incur costs
associated with these properties. Until we can establish economic reserves, of
which there is no assurance, additional costs associated with these properties
are capitalized, then charged to impairment expense as incurred. For the nine
months ended May 31, 2003, impairment charges totaled $1,178,267.

     SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," provides
accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible
long-lived assets, including the timing of liability recognition, initial
measurement of the liability, allocation of asset retirement costs to expense,
subsequent measurement of the liability, and financial statement disclosures.
SFAS 143 requires that asset retirement costs be capitalized along with the cost
of the related long-lived asset. The asset retirement costs should then be
allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. SFAS 143 requires
us to recognize an estimated liability for the plugging, abandoning of oil and
gas wells and site restoration associated with oil and gas properties. We
adopted SFAS 143 effective September 1, 2002, and, during the quarter ended
February 28, 2003, accrued a total of $600,000 to reflect the liability for
plugging, abandonment and site restoration obligations associated with East Lost
Hills wells. Our estimate is based on the best information available to us at
this time. Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in actual
plugging, abandonment and or site restoration cost. Because we expect to incur
these costs within the next twelve months, the liability we recorded is
undiscounted and is reflected under current liabilities on our balance sheet as
of May 31, 2003. These costs have been capitalized and charged to impairment
expense.

     INCOME TAXES - We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes". SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES

     On May 24, 2002, we received $6 million in gross proceeds from the sale of
convertible notes due May 24, 2009. These notes call for semi-annual interest
payments at an annual rate of 4.99% and are convertible into shares of common
stock at the rate of $1.30 per share. The interest can be paid in cash or added
to the principal amount at the discretion of the Company. The notes were issued
to three investment funds pursuant to exemptions from registration under
Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On November
24, 2002 and May 24, 2003, we elected to add $151,751 and $152,224,
respectively, in interest due on these notes to the principal balance (rather
than pay the interest in cash on a current basis) so that at May 31, 2003, the
aggregate balance of these notes, reflected as Convertible Notes under Long Term
Debt, was $6,303,975.

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


     We are a development stage independent oil and gas exploration company
whose strategic focus is the application of advanced seismic imaging and
computer aided exploration technologies in the systematic search for commercial
hydrocarbon reserves, primarily in the onshore western United States. We attempt
to leverage our technical experience and expertise with seismic data to identify
exploration and exploitation projects with significant potential economic
return. We intend to participate in selected exploration projects as a working
interest owner, sharing both risk and rewards with other participants. We do not
currently operate any projects in which we own a working interest, although we
may operate some projects in the future. We do not have the financial ability to
commence exploratory drilling operations without third party participation. We
have pursued, and will continue to pursue, exploration opportunities in regions
in which we believe significant opportunity for discovery of oil and gas exists.
By attempting to reduce drilling risk through seismic technology, we seek to
improve the expected return on investment in our oil and gas exploration
projects.

     Our future financial results continue to depend primarily on (1) our
ability to discover commercial quantities of hydrocarbons; (2) the market price
for oil and gas; (3) our ability to continue to source and screen potential
projects; and (4) our ability to fully implement our exploration and development
program with respect to these and other matters. There can be no assurance that
we will be successful in any of these respects or that the prices of oil and gas
prevailing at the time of production will be at a level allowing for profitable
production.

     We paid approximately $1,068,000 and $7,765,000 during the nine months
ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for drilling costs, delay rentals,
acquisition of acreage, direct geological and geophysical costs, and other
related direct costs, with respect to our identified exploration and
exploitation projects.

     We control interests in several exploration projects in the San Joaquin
Basin and in select areas of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to East Lost
Hills, projects in the San Joaquin Basin include our Wedge and Bulldog
prospects, which are large target reserve, deep Temblor gas prospects located to
the northwest of our East Lost Hills acreage, and our Blizzard prospect which is
a light oil Stevens target. In the Rocky Mountains, we currently are focusing on
our Cumberland and Mallard projects, located in southwestern Wyoming, and on our
Montana Foothills project. We intend to raise financing from outside sources to
assist in funding the drilling of initial test wells in the California and
Wyoming projects. We have considered and are pursuing both industry partners as
well as investments from individuals and other entities, with the latter in the
form of a direct investment in the particular project or projects, or in the
form of investment in a drilling fund. If we are able to obtain, in either of
these or any other form, sufficient funding for one or more of these projects,
of which there is no assurance, we expect to commence drilling at least one
exploration well in any such funded projects during the next 12 months. However,
there can be no assurance that any wells will be drilled, or if drilled, that
any of these wells will be successful.

     It is anticipated that the future development of our business will require
additional, and possibly substantial, capital expenditures. Depending upon the
extent of success of our ability to raise capital through the drilling fund
and/or the level of industry participation in our exploration projects, we
anticipate spending a minimum of $2.1 million for capital expenditures relating
to exploration of our projects during the next 12 months. We may need to raise
additional funds in the future to cover capital expenditures. These funds may
come from cash flow, equity or debt financing, or from sales of interests in our
properties, although there is no assurance additional funding of any nature will
be available.

     At May 31, 2003, we had a working capital amount of approximately
$3,606,000 and had $6,303,975 of convertible notes outstanding. These notes are
due on May 24, 2009 and call for semi-annual interest payments at an annual rate
of 4.99%. The interest can be paid in cash or added to the principal amount at
the discretion of the Company. The notes are convertible into shares of common
stock at the rate of $1.30 per share. At May 31, 2003, we had not entered into
any commodity swap arrangements or hedging transactions. Although we have no
current plans to do so, we may enter into commodity swap and/or hedging
transactions in the future in conjunction with oil and gas production.

     The above schedule assumes convertible note interest payments will be added
to the principal amount (which is at the discretion of the Company), and the
entire balance will be paid in full on maturity of May 24, 2009, and there will
be no conversion of debt to common stock. In addition to the above obligations,
if we elect to continue holding all our existing leases on a delayed rental
basis, we would have to pay approximately $917,000 over the next twelve months,
including approximately $572,000 that we intend to pay during the three months
ending August 31, 2003. The Company considers on a quarterly basis whether to
continue holding all or part of each acreage block by making delay rental
payments on existing leases.

     The following is a summary of the current status of our exploration
projects:

     East Lost Hills, California. Although the 1998 blow-out of the original
test well, the Bellevue #1-17, evidenced high volumes and deliverability of
hydrocarbons, the project has still not established meaningful commercial
production. Because of the very high historical cost structure of operations,
the expiration of certain leases, and uncertainties regarding the ability or
desire of other participants to continue to fund operations at East Lost Hills,
we are limiting our capital expenditures at East Lost Hills to those that we are
contractually liable for until such a point in time as many of the ongoing
problems associated with the play are mitigated, of which there is no assurance.
If additional operations are proposed, we will carefully evaluate to what
extent, if any, we will participate in those operations.

     During our third quarter ended May 31, 2003, our only producing well, the
East Lost Hills ELH #1, produced a gross total of approximately 90 mmcfe,
averaging approximately 982 mcf per day. Water production during this period
averaged approximately 5,000 barrels per day. We own a 12.12% working interest
in this well.

                                       9

<PAGE>


     The operator at East Lost Hills has formally proposed plugging the ELH #4
and ELH #9 wells. Although we have consented to these operations, we have not
been notified if or when these wells will be plugged. We own a 12.12% working
interest in each of these wells.

     The Aera Energy LLC NWLH 1-22 well has reached total depth, however
completion operations have not commenced. It is uncertain as to whether this
well will be completed for production testing. Because we have determined to
prioritize our financial resources on other prospects, we have notified the
operator of our non-consent election in the completion of this well. We own a
4.04% working interest in this well, subject to a 300% percent non-consent
penalty.

     Wedge Prospect, California. This is a seismically identified Temblor
prospect located northwest of and adjacent to the East Lost Hills deep gas
discovery. During the first fiscal quarter of 2001, we acquired approximately 17
miles of proprietary, high effort 2D seismic data and combined this data with
existing 2D seismic data in order to refine what we interpret as the up-dip
extension of the East Lost Hills structure. Our seismic interpretation shows
that the same trend at East Lost Hills extends approximately ten miles farther
northwest of the East Lost Hills Area of Mutual Interest and can be encountered
as much as 3,000 feet higher. We currently control approximately 12,100 gross
and approximately 11,600 net acres here. Our approach is to sell down our
working interest and retain a 25% to 50% working interest in this prospect;
however, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so at a favorable
price to PYR.

     Bulldog Prospect, California. This project is a 2D seismically identified
natural gas and condensate prospect located adjacent to the giant Kettleman
North Dome field in the San Joaquin Basin. This prospect can be best
characterized as a classic footwall fault trap, similar to the many known
footwall fault trap accumulations that have produced significant quantities of
hydrocarbons throughout the San Joaquin Basin. We currently control
approximately 15,600 gross and approximately 15,100 net acres here. We expect to
sell down our working interest in this project and retain a 25% to 50% working
interest in the prospect acreage and in a 14,000 foot test well we expect to
drill during calendar 2003; however, there is no assurance that we will be able
to sell part of our working interest in this project or that the test well will
be drilled during calendar year 2003, or at all.

     Blizzard Prospect, California. The Blizzard prospect, located in the
Southern San Joaquin Basin, Kern county, is defined by 3D seismic data as an
untested uppermost Stevens turbidite sandstone similar to other Stevens
reservoir sandstones. While stratigraphically higher than productive sands at
the neighboring Rio Viejo field, the Blizzard reservoir is located basinward
along a direct migration pathway from the hydrocarbon generation basin center.
As evidenced at Yowlumne Field (located 5 miles to the west), higher
stratigraphic sands deposited basinward exhibit better productivity and higher
reserve potential. Estimated target depth for the Blizzard prospect is
approximately 14,500 feet. We control approximately 1,900 gross and net acres in
the prospect area. We anticipate drilling an initial test well during calendar
year 2003, and intend to retain a 25% to 50% working interest in this project;
however, there is no assurance that we can obtain sufficient funding to be able
to do so.

     Montana Foothills Project. This extensive natural gas exploration project,
located in northwestern Montana, is part of the southern Alberta Basin, and has
been classified as the southern extension of the Alberta Foothills producing
province. The USGS and numerous Canadian industry sources have estimated
significant recoverable reserves for the Montana portion of the Foothills trend.
Based on extensive geologic and seismic analysis, we have identified numerous
structural culminations of similar size, geometry, and kinematic history as
prolific Canadian foothills fields, such as Waterton and Turner Valley.

     The geologic setting and hydrocarbon potential of this area was not
recognized by industry until the early 1980s. At that time, a number of
companies initiated exploration efforts, including Exxon, Arco, Chevron, Amoco,
Conoco, and Unocal. This initial exploration phase culminated in a deep test by
Unocal in 1989. Although this well was unsuccessful, recent improvements in
seismic imaging and pre-stack processing have resulted in our belief that this
test well was drilled based upon a misleading seismic image and was located
significantly off-structure.

     We currently control approximately 241,800 gross and 226,300 net acres in
this project and are currently presenting this project to potential industry
participants in order to sell down our working interest to between 10% and 40%
and to generate exploratory drilling activity, of which there is no assurance.

     Cumberland Project, Wyoming. The Cumberland project, located within the
Overthrust Belt of southwest Wyoming, is a gas-condensate exploration prospect
in Uinta County, Wyoming. Cumberland is at the northern end of the historically
productive Nugget trend on the hangingwall of the Absaroka thrust fault. The
prospect lies along trend of and just north of Ryckman Creek field, which was
discovered in 1975.

     The Cumberland prospect can be best characterized as a classic hangingwall
anticlinal trap, similar to the many known Nugget sandstone accumulations that
have produced significant quantities of hydrocarbons from Pineview to Ryckman
Creek. The Cumberland culmination is the result of structural deformation
related to back-thrusting off of the Absaroka thrust, a similar geometry to that
exhibited at East Painter Reservoir field.

     We currently control approximately 5,400 gross and net acres in the project
and intend to sell down our working interest to between 25% and 50%, although
there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. The State of Wyoming issued
a drilling permit for our Cumberland exploration well.

     Mallard Project, Wyoming. The Mallard project, located within the
Overthrust Belt of SW Wyoming, is a sour gas and condensate exploration prospect
in Uinta County, Wyoming. It is within the Paleozoic trend of productive fields
on the Absaroka thrust, and directly offsets and is adjacent to the giant sour
gas field of Whitney Canyon-Carter Creek.

     We interpret the Mallard prospect to occupy a separate fault block,
adjacent to the Whitney Canyon field, generated by a complex imbricated system
of faults originating from the Absaroka thrust. Paleozoic targets at the Mallard
prospect include the Mississippian Mission Canyon, as well as numerous secondary
objectives in the Ordovician, Pennsylvanian, and Permian sections.

     We currently control approximately 3,900 gross and net acres in the project
and intend to sell down our working interest to between 25% and 50%, although
there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

Results of Operations

     The quarter ended May 31, 2003 compared with the quarter ended May 31,
     2002.

     Operations during the quarter ended May 31, 2003 resulted in a net loss of
$385,176 compared with a net loss of $300,448 for the quarter ended May 31,
2002. The increase in net loss is due primarily to an increase in interest
expense of approximately $72,000 from the prior year period. A broader
discussion of these and other items are presented below.

                                       11

<PAGE>


     Oil and Gas Revenues and Expenses. During the quarter ended May 31, 2003,
we recorded $33,884 from the sale of 6,347 mcf of natural gas for an average
price of $5.34 per mcf and $9,157 from the sale of 332 bbls of hydrocarbon
liquids for an average price of $27.58 per barrel. Lease operating expenses
during this period were $18,349. During the quarter ended May 31, 2002, we
recorded $29,460 from the sale of 10,696 mcf of natural gas for an average price
of $2.75 per mcf and $8,426 from the sale of 434 bbls of hydrocarbon liquids for
an average price of $19.41 per barrel. Overriding royalty revenues totaled $624.
Lease operating expenses during this period were $28,808.

     Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. We recorded no depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense from oil and gas properties for the quarters
ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002. Although the East Lost Hills #1 began
producing in 2001, we recorded an impairment against our entire amortizable full
cost pool both at August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001, and therefore had no
costs to amortize. No additional impairment was recorded against our oil and gas
properties for the quarters ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002. We recorded
$3,020 and $3,691 in depreciation expense associated with capitalized office
furniture and equipment during the quarters ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002,
respectively.

     Dry Hole, Impairment and Abandonments. During the quarters ended May 31,
2003 and May 31, 2002, we recorded no impairment expense. Although properties
may be considered evaluated for purposes of the ceiling test and included in the
impairment calculation, until these properties are completely abandoned, we may
continue to incur costs associated with these properties. Until we can establish
economic reserves, of which there is no assurance, any additional costs
associated with these properties are capitalized, and then charged to impairment
expense as incurred.

     General and Administrative Expense. We incurred $339,576 and $323,474 in
general and administrative expenses during the quarters ended May 31, 2003 and
May 31, 2002, respectively. The difference is due largely to increased insurance
premiums for directors and officers of the Company.

     Interest Expense. We incurred $78,316 and $6,562 in interest expense for
the quarters ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002, respectively. The interest
expense is associated with the May 24, 2002 sale of outstanding convertible
notes due on May 24, 2009.


     The nine months ended May 31, 2003 compared with the nine months ended May
     31, 2002.

     Oil and Gas Revenues and Expenses. For the nine months ended May 31, 2003,
we recorded $106,507 from the sale of 25,268 mcf of natural gas for an average
price of $4.22 per mcf and $30,572 from the sale of 1,192 bbls of hydrocarbon
liquids for an average price of $25.65 per barrel. Operating expenses during
this period were $64,694. During the nine months ended May 31, 2002, we recorded
$70,305 from the sale of 28,996 mcf of natural gas for an average price of $2.42
per mcf and $23,568 from the sale of 1,347 bbls of hydrocarbon liquids for an
average price of $17.50 per barrel. Additionally, we recorded overriding royalty
revenues of $16,949 dating back to the commencement of production of the ELH#1
well. Operating expenses were $60,769 for this period.

     Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. We recorded no depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense from oil and gas properties for the nine
months ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002. Although the East Lost Hills #1
began producing in 2001, we recorded an impairment against our entire
amortizable full cost pool for both the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and May
31, 2002, and therefore had no costs to amortize. We recorded $8,892 and $10,917
in depreciation expense associated with capitalized office furniture and
equipment during the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002,
respectively.

                                       12

<PAGE>


     Dry Hole, Impairment and Abandonments. During the nine months ended May 31,
2003, we recorded an impairment of $1,178,267. The charge was made up of
$600,000 in estimated plugging costs for the East Lost Hills wells and $578,267
in additional costs that continue to be incurred primarily on the East Lost
Hills property. Although properties may be considered evaluated for purposes of
the ceiling test and included in the impairment calculation, until these
properties are completely abandoned, we may continue to incur costs associated
with these properties. Until we can establish economic reserves, of which there
is no assurance, additional costs associated with these properties are
capitalized, then charged to impairment expense as incurred. During the nine
months ended May 31, 2002, we recorded impairment expense of $113,544.

     General and Administrative Expense. We incurred $1,010,119 and $975,759 in
general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended May 31, 2003
and May 31, 2002, respectively. The difference is due largely to increased costs
associated with attempting to establish a drilling fund and increased insurance
premiums for directors and officers of the Company. The increase is offset
partially by higher costs in the prior fiscal year associated with the
preparation of an independent reserve analysis.

     Interest Expense. We incurred $230,371 and $6,562 in interest expense for
the nine months ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2002, respectively. The interest
expense is associated with the May 24, 2002 sale of outstanding convertible
notes due on May 24, 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Financial
Statements.

Reserve Estimates:

     Our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves, by necessity, are
projections based on geological and engineering data, and there are
uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the
projection of future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating
underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that are difficult to measure.
The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available
data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of
economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows
necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as
historical production from the area compared with production from other
producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies and
assumptions governing future oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs,
severance and excise taxes, development costs and workover and remedial costs,
all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For these
reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of oil and natural
gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such
reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows
expected from there may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the
assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the
reserves, which could affect the carrying value of our oil and gas properties
and/or the rate of depletion of the oil and gas properties. Actual production,
revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from
estimates, and such variances may be material.

     Many factors will affect actual net cash flows, including the following:
the amount and timing of actual production; supply and demand for natural gas;
curtailments or increases in consumption by natural gas purchasers; and changes
in governmental regulations or taxation.

                                       13

<PAGE>


Property, Equipment and Depreciation:

     We follow the full cost method to account for our oil and gas exploration
and development activities. Under the full cost method, all costs incurred which
are directly related to oil and gas exploration and development are capitalized
and subjected to depreciation and depletion. Depletable costs also include
estimates of future development costs of proved reserves. Costs related to
undeveloped oil and gas properties may be excluded from depletable costs until
those properties are evaluated as either proved or unproved. The net capitalized
costs are subject to a ceiling limitation based on the estimated present value
of discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves. As a result, we are
required to estimate our proved reserves at the end of each quarter, which is
subject to the uncertainties described in the previous section. Gains or losses
upon disposition of oil and gas properties are treated as adjustments to
capitalized costs, unless the disposition represents a significant portion of
the Company's proved reserves.

5.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
     equivalent functions):

     a)   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
          identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
          internal controls; and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
          controls; and

6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
     quarterly report whether there were significant changes in internal
     controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
     controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including
     any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
     weaknesses.
