ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

Rocky Mountain Energy was defrauded by Marathon USA Corporation in reference to the $40,000,000 credit line to be provided to the Company under the Credit Agreement dated June 23, 2002. This conclusion is based on documents which were submitted by Marathon USA Corporation to Rocky Mountain Energy Corporation during the due diligence period which have proven to be fraudulent, and a $3,000,000 check sent to an escrow account which was returned for insufficient funds. Rocky Mountain Energy had complied with all terms requested by Marathon USA for the credit line and it is now apparent that Marathon USA had no intent or ability to honor this agreement.

As a result Rocky Mountain has turned over all information relating to this case to the U.S. Attorney. Rocky Mountain Energy paid a $100,000 commitment fee for this credit line and anticipates that it may have to take a write-down for this commitment fee in the third quarter of 2002.

Rocky Mountain Energy is in active discussions with private investors for funding of its development drilling program at BC&D.
