NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

September 30, 1997
And September 30, 1996

NOTE 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of NATIONAL EQUITIES HOLDINGS,
INC. (the "Company") is presented to assist in understanding the Company's
financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of
the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
financial statements.

a.  Organization and Business Activities:

Asquith Venture Associates, Inc. was formed on November 24, 1987 with a name
change to Amadeus Holdings, Inc. on October 27, 1988. Corporate stock was issued
for the organization of several business ventures, all of which were
unsuccessful. On January 20, 1993, there was a name change to National Equities
Holdings, Inc. The business purpose was to market a subsurface irrigation system
(Patent number 5,205,487), a family educational game (Copyright Txu 516862) (See
Notes 2, 13, and 14), future real estate construction and development, and oil
and gas production and development.

b. Depreciation, amortization and depletion:

Depreciation will be provided by the straight-line method at rates calculated to
amortize cost over the estimated useful lives of respective assets. Upon sale or
retirement of the respective assets, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation will be eliminated from the accounts, and gains or losses will be
reflected on the income statement. Repair and maintenance expenditures, not
anticipated to extend original asset lives, will be charged to expenses as
incurred. Amortization will be provided by the straight line method when
products are brought to market. Depreciation and depletion (including provisions
for future abandonment and restoration costs) of all capitalized costs of proved
oil and gas producing properties, except mineral interests, will be expensed
using the unit-of-production method by individual fields as the proved developed
reserves are produced. Depletion expenses for capitalized costs of proved
mineral interest are recognized using the unit-of-production method by
individual fields as the related proved reserves are produced. Periodic
valuation provisions for impairment of capitalized costs of unproved mineral
interests will be expensed.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9
c.  Fiscal Year:

The Company operates on a December 31 calendar year.

d.  Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal
restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

e.  Basis of Accounting:

The Company prepares its financial statements and federal income taxes on the
accrual basis of accounting. The Company's oil and gas ventures will be
accounted for using the Successful Efforts basis of accounting. The Company and
associated entities share office space and use common equipment. It is
management's view, that subsequent to September 30, 1996, the Company benefits
from use of the facilities and is absorbing the majority of these costs. Said
costs are reflected in these financial statements.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company will recognize revenue from oil produced at the point of sale that
is, when the oil is run from the tanks. Gas is not stored on the lease; thus,
revenue will be recognized at the point of production and sale because they are
the same.

Oil & Gas Properties (Successful Efforts):

Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip
exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development
wells will be capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find
proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and
retaining unproved properties will be expensed.

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant will be
periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss will be recognized at
the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved
properties will be amortized based on the Company's experience of successful
drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas
properties, after considering estimated dis-mantlement and abandonment costs and
estimated salvage values, will be depreciated and depleted by the
unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment
will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

<PAGE>   10

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization will be eliminated
from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss will be recognized.
On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost will be
charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization with a resulting
gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an
unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale will be
recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if
the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an
unproved property is sold, the amount received will be treated as a reduction of
the cost of the interest retained.

Oil and gas leases held for resale:

The Company will acquire certain oil and gas leases for the purpose of
contributing the leases to affiliated oil and gas partnerships of for the
purpose of selling the leases to industry partners for cash consideration. Such
leases held for resale, or subsequently acquired, will be periodically reviewed
to determine if they have been impaired. If impairment exists, a loss will be
recognized by providing an impairment allowance. Abandonments of oil and gas
leases held for resale will be charged to expense. With respect to leases
transferred to affiliated oil and gas partnerships, the determination of
recovery of total costs will be made on a partnership-by-partnership basis.

Capitalized interest:

The Company will capitalize interest on expenditures for significant exploration
and development projects while activities are in progress to bring the assets to
their intended use.

Management Fees:

In connection with the sponsorship of oil and gas partnerships, the Company will
receive a management fee from partnership subscriptions, which will be credited
to income as earned.

Basis of Presentation:

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has
been prepared from the books and records without audit. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to

which $3,743,733 is carried as convertible debenture debt. Management is
actively pursuing the conversion of this debt to equity.
