X DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: See pages 26 to 27. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. Capco Energy, Inc. ("Capco" or the "Company"), with its mailing address at 2922 East Chapman Avenue, Suite 202, Orange, California 92869, telephone number (714) 288-8230, was incorporated as Alfa Resources, Inc. a Colorado corporation on January 6, 1981. In November 1999, the Company changed its name to Capco. Capco was organized for the purpose of engaging in oil and gas exploration, development and production activities, as well as petroleum marketing, and high technology business development. Effective December 31, 1999, Capco closed on the acquisition of 100% of Capco Resource Corporation ("CRC"), a corporation involved in oil and gas production. Based on the ownership of the respective companies at the time of this acquisition, it was determined that a change in control had occurred and accordingly, the transaction was considered a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. The historical accounts of CRC are reflected in the financial statements for the period beginning with January 19, 1999, the inception date of CRC, at cost. In March 2000, the Company increased its investment in Capco Resources Ltd. ("CRL") to approximately 81.9% by the issuance of 11,867,558 shares of its Common Stock. From April 2000 through December 2001, the Company increased its equity position in CRL to 87.5% in exchange for issuing 1,006,950 Common Shares of the Company. In October 2000, the Company consummated a private placement with Chaparral Resources, Inc. by tendering $3.0 million in cash for 1.6 million restricted shares of Chaparral. These restricted shares were then exchanged with CRL for all of the outstanding shares of Capco Asset Management, Inc. ("CAM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRL. In April 2001, the Company purchased Meteor Enterprises, Inc. ("MEI") from Meteor Industries, Inc. ("MII") for $5.6 million and assumption of certain environmental liabilities and other indemnities. Effective December 31, 2000, MII had contributed substantially all of its assets and all of its businesses to its wholly owned subsidiary, MEI. The significant wholly owned subsidiaries of MEI are: Meteor Marketing, Inc., Graves Oil & Butane Co., Inc., Tri-Valley Gas Co. and Innovative Solutions and Technologies, Inc. MEI also owns 73% of Meteor Holdings LLC and 61% of Rocky Mountain Propane LLC ("RMP"). In August 2001, the Company formed Capco Monument, LLC, and acquired the operation of convenience stores. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS GENERAL Capco is an independent energy company engaged primarily in the acquisition, exploration, development, production for and the sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids and the sale of refined petroleum products. Capco's operations consist of three segments of business: oil and gas production, convenience store operations and distribution of refined petroleum products. 2 OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION Property Acquisition and Sales Capco attempts to acquire developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties through the acquisition of leases and other mineral interests or through the acquisition of companies. Effective February 2000, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Samson Lone Star Limited Partnership to acquire a 63% working interest in the Caplen Field, Galveston, Texas, for a purchase price of $0.6 million including certain closing costs. Effective December 30, 2000, the Company purchased from State Energy and Development Company, a 65% undivided working interest in the Kern Bluff Oil Field for a purchase price of $0.3 million. Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to drill a minimum of five wells, four of which will be drilled for developmental purposes at 1000 feet; the remaining well was drilled to a depth of 3,300 feet, and was a dry hole. In December 2001, the Company increased its ownership in producing oil and gas properties in Kansas and Texas that it operated by acquiring working interests held by other owners in the properties. The total acquisition cost of $0.4 million was funded by cash payments, the assumption of accounts receivable owed by the sellers and production payables. Equipment, Products and Raw Materials Capco owns no drilling rigs and only drilled two wells in the last several years. Capco's principal products are crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas are sold to various purchasers including pipeline companies which service the areas in which Capco's producing wells are located. Capco's business is seasonal in nature, to the extent that weather conditions at certain times of the year may affect its access to oil and gas properties and the demand for natural gas. The existence of commercial oil and gas reserves is essential to the ultimate realization of value from properties, and thus may be considered a raw material essential to Capco's business. The acquisition, exploration, development, production and sale of oil and gas are subject to many factors, which are outside Capco's control. These factors include national and international economic conditions, availability of drilling rigs, casing, pipe and other fuels, and the regulation of prices, production, transportation, and marketing by federal and state governmental authorities. Capco acquires oil and gas properties from landowners, other owners of interests in such properties, or governmental entities. For information relating to specific properties of Capco see Item 2. Capco currently is not experiencing any difficulty in acquiring necessary supplies or services as long as Capco can pay for the services and supplies nor is it experiencing any difficulty selling its products. 3 Competition The oil and gas business is highly competitive. Capco's competitors include major companies, independents and individual producers and operators. Many of Capco's numerous competitors throughout the country are larger and have substantially greater financial resources than Capco. Oil and gas, as a source of energy, must compete with other sources of energy such as coal, nuclear power, synthetic fuels and other forms of alternate energy. Domestic oil and gas must also compete with foreign sources of oil and gas, the supply and availability of which have at times depressed domestic prices. Capco has an insignificant competitive position in the oil and gas industry. The general economic conditions in the United States and specifically in the oil and gas industry during the past several years have intensified the search for capital necessary for participation in the oil and gas business. This shortage of capital has had the effect of curtailing the operations of many smaller independent companies with limited resources. CONVENIENCE STORE OPERATIONS Retail Store Operations The Company's retail operations consist of ownership of seven retail outlets located in four different municipalities in New Mexico and Colorado. The retail outlets sell gasoline and diesel fuels and other petroleum products directly to the general public. The retail outlets also sell food, beverage and tobacco products as a convenience to their customers. Typically, profit margins on gasoline and diesel sales are very small; profits are generated based on the quantity of product sold. In-store sales of food, beverage and tobacco products carry a higher profit margin, but the products are subject to carrying costs and spoilage. Competition The convenience store industry is highly competitive. Due to the low gross profit margins, most competitors operate a large number of locations in order to benefit from economies of scale and store name "branding". The Company is not able to take advantage of such economies of scale as its operations consist of the seven stores that are spread over a wide geographic area. DISTRIBUTION OF REFINED PETROLEUM PRODUCTS The Petroleum Distribution Industry The Department of Energy estimates that the total volume of refined petroleum products sold in the United States is approximately 819 million gallons per day. Refined petroleum products are generally distributed by three types of entities: pipeline companies that distribute directly to large end-users, such as utilities and airports; major oil companies that often supply their own retail outlets and are normally focused on urban areas; and independently owned wholesale petroleum distributors. According to Petroleum Marketers Association of America there are approximately 7,850 independent petroleum distributors in the United States. Collectively, these marketers sell approximately 50% of the gasoline, 60% of the diesel fuel and 80% of the home heating oil consumed in 4 America. Due to these industry characteristics, as well as the relative absence of industry consolidators, the owners of independent petroleum businesses, a majority of which are smaller owner-operators, have limited alternatives to sell their operations. The Company believes these factors create an opportunity for it to be a part of the consolidation of this industry and accomplish additional acquisitions in its existing region and in additional market areas. The ability to so participate is contingent on the availability of financial resources, which availability has been problematic recently, and/or the willingness of sellers to provide significant financing. Petroleum Marketing Operations The Company operates its petroleum marketing business primarily from its Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Wyoming offices. The Company operates this business through Meteor Marketing, Inc. d/b/a Graves Oil & Butane Co., Inc., Fleischli Oil Company, Inc., and Tri-Valley Gas Co. The commercial and wholesale diesel fuel, gasoline and lubricant operations are the largest part of the Company's business. These operations have agreements to supply products to customers that include truck stops, retail gasoline service stations, convenience stores, construction companies, commercial fleet distribution centers, the federal government, mining companies and utilities. The commercial/wholesale operation has distributor agreements to purchase products from Phillips Petroleum Company, Chevron Lubricants, Amoco Petroleum Products, Sinclair Oil Company, Shell Oil Company, Frontier Oil and Refining Company, and Fina Oil Company. These distributor agreements allow the Company to purchase petroleum products at wholesale prices directly from distribution centers, pipeline terminals and refineries controlled by these large oil producer/refiners. The Company is then authorized to resell those products to its customers. The Company's distribution agreements generally have three-year terms. The distribution agreements do not provide for an exclusive territory and can be terminated by either party upon 30 days notice. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not have to be renegotiated or that they will be renewed. Although the Company is a relatively long-standing distributor of products in the states where it operates, the consolidation in the industry makes it likely that the Company will lose or add one or more additional contracts. In such an event, the Company's operations can be adversely impacted, however, because the Company's customer base is larger than the average distributor in the industry, management believes that it has the ability to develop relationships with new suppliers and use its remaining existing suppliers to provide quality products to its customers. Many of the Company's wholesale customers operate retail gasoline service stations under the banners of various major oil companies. The banner arrangements require that a retail operator purchase fuel exclusively from a distributor, such as the Company, who is authorized to sell branded products. On occasion the Company has supplied new signage and other improvements to retailers so they would switch to a Company brand. The Company's suppliers may subsidize such improvements by providing discounts to the Company or by forgiving certain obligations based on the volume of product sold to such retailer. The Company also markets its products to commercial and governmental accounts through direct selling efforts of the Company. The majority of the Company's revenues come from repeat orders from existing customers. The Company also advertises in trade journals and attends industry trade shows in its markets. The Company's wholesale transactions and most of its commercial sales begin with the loading of the 5 Company's trucks at pipeline supplied terminals, refineries or other storage facilities. When sold in transport quantities, the trucks deliver the products directly to the customer with no intermediate storage of fuel. The distribution process for bulk fuel products, from pick-up to delivery to customers, is typically completed in less than two days. The Company's wholesale/commercial customers are primarily located in New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado and Nevada. One customer accounted for 13% of the Company's sales in 2001. The Company operates 17 automated card-lock locations. The card-lock systems provide 24-hour-per-day access to fuel dispensing facilities for commercial fleet customers and customers with automated debit cards. The card-lock systems do not require that a Company employee be present to process the fuel purchase. The card-lock facilities are primarily used by commercial fleet operators in order to take advantage of automated transaction process technology which allows a user to insert a "user card" activating the fuel dispenser and records the transaction. The Company's strategy contemplates increasing the number of card-lock facilities that the Company owns or controls. Competition and Markets The petroleum marketing business is highly competitive. The Company competes on the basis of price, service and corporate capabilities. In all phases of its operations, the Company encounters strong competition from a number of companies, including some very large companies. Many of these larger competitors possess and employ financial and personnel resources substantially in excess of those which are available to the Company. The Company's marketing division also competes with integrated oil companies, which in some cases own or control a majority of their own marketing facilities. These major oil companies may offer their products to the Company's competitors on more favorable terms than those available to the Company from its suppliers. A significant number of companies, including integrated oil companies and petroleum products distribution companies, distribute petroleum products through a larger number of facilities than the Company. The wholesale and commercial distribution of petroleum products is a highly competitive industry. This competition generally comes from other privately held petroleum jobbers operating in the same geographic region as the Company. The competition is primarily focused on the government contract and commercial fleet segments of the business. The government contract business is awarded via a lowest sealed bid process and the Company competes heavily with several wholesale distributors. Competition also occurs for the gasoline service station customers. In competing for this segment of the business, a customer must be convinced to change the "brand" of the station. A change of brands can be expensive and disruptive to the operations of the gasoline service station and therefore does not occur frequently. Environmental Compliance The Company's Regulated Environmental Activities are subject to an extensive variety of evolving federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations governing the storage, transportation, manufacture, use, discharge, release and disposal of product and contaminants into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. While not all-inclusive, exhaustive or complete, below is a listing of the more significant environmental laws, which potentially impact the Company's Regulated Environmental Activities: 6 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as Amended in 1984 ("RCRA") The United States Congress enacted RCRA in 1976 and amended it in 1984. RCRA established a comprehensive regulatory framework for the management of hazardous wastes at active facilities. RCRA creates a "cradle to grave" system for managing hazardous wastes. Those who generate, transport, treat, store or dispose of waste above certain quantities are required to undertake certain performance, testing and record keeping. The 1984 amendments to RCRA, 7 known as Hazardous Solids Wastes Act ("HSWA"), increased the scope of RCRA to regulate small quantity hazardous waste generators and waste oil handlers and recyclers as well as require the identification and regulation of underground storage tanks in which liquid petroleum or hazardous substances were stored. HSWA and its implementing regulations require the notification to designated state agencies of the existence and condition of regulated underground storage tanks and impose design, construction and installation requirements; leak detection, spill/over fill protection, reporting, and cleanup requirements; tank closure and removal requirements; and fiscal responsibility requirements. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA" or "SUPERFUND") as amended in 1982 CERCLA established the Superfund program to clean up inactive sites at which hazardous substances had been released. Superfund has been interpreted to create strict, joint and several liability for the costs of removal and remediation, other necessary response costs and damages for injury to natural resources. Superfund liability extends to generators of hazardous substances, as well as to (i) the current owners and operators of a site at which hazardous substances were disposed; (ii) any prior owner or operator of the site at the date of disposal; and (iii) waste transporters who selected such facilities treatment or disposal of hazardous substances. CERCLA allows the EPA to investigate and re-mediate contaminated sites and to recover the costs of such activities (response costs), as well as damages to natural resources, from parties specified as liable under the statute. CERCLA also authorizes private parties who incur response costs to seek recovery from statutorily liable parties. CERCLA was amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ("SARA"). SARA provides a separate funding mechanism for the clean up of underground storage tanks. CERCLA excludes petroleum including crude oil or any fraction thereof, with certain limitations from the definition of "hazardous substances" for which liability for clean up of a contaminated site will attach. This exclusion also applies to those otherwise hazardous substances, which are inherent in petroleum, but not to those added to or mixed with petroleum products. The Clean Water Act of 1972, as Amended (The "Clean Water Act") The Clean Water Act establishes water pollutant discharge standards applicable to many basic types of manufacturing facilities and imposes standards on municipal sewage treatment plants. The Clean Water Act requires states to set water quality standards for significant bodies of water within their boundaries and to ensure attainment and/or maintenance of those standards. Many industrial and governmental facilities must apply for and obtain discharge permits, monitor pollutant discharges and under certain conditions reduce certain discharges. 7 Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") The OPA amends the Clean Water Act and expands the liability for the discharge of oil into navigable waters. Liability is triggered by discharge or substantial threat of a discharge of oil into navigable waters. OPA defines three classes of parties subject to liability: (1) owners, operators, and persons chartering vessels; (2) lessees and permits of areas where off-shore facilities are located; and (3) owners and operators of on-shore facilities. The Clean Air Act of 1970, as Amended (The "Clean Air Act") The Clean Air Act required the EPA to establish and ensure compliance with national ambient air quality standards ("NAAQS") for certain pollutants. The NAAQS generally are to be achieved by the individual states through state implementation plans ("SIPs"). SIPs typically attempt to meet the NAAQS by, among other things, regulating the quantity and quality of emissions from specific industrial sources. As required by the Clean Air Act, the EPA also has established regulations that limit emissions of specified hazardous air pollutants and has established other regulations that limit emissions from new industrial sources within certain source categories. The Clean Air Act was amended extensively in 1990, to, among other things, impose additional emissions standards that must be implemented by the EPA through regulations. The Emergency and Community Right-to-Know Act ("EPCRA") EPCRA was passed as a part of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). EPCRA requires emergency planning notification, emergency release notification, and reports with respect to the storage and release of specified chemicals. Industry must provide information to communities regarding the presence of hazardous and extremely hazardous substances at facilities within those communities. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act ("OSHA") OSHA regulates exposure to toxic substances and other forms of workplace pollution and hazards. The Department of Labor administers OSHA. OSHA specifies maximum levels of toxic substance exposure. OSHA also sets out a "right-to-know" rule which requires that workers be informed of, and receive training relating to, the physical and health hazards posed by hazardous materials in the workplace. Other State, As Well As, Local Government Regulation Many states have been authorized by the EPA to enforce regulations promulgated under various federal statutes. In addition, there are numerous other state as well as local authorities that regulate the environment, some of which impose more stringent environmental standards than Federal laws and regulations. The penalties for violations of state laws vary but typically include injunctive relief, recovery of damages for injury to air, water or property, and fines for non-compliance. 8 Regulatory Status and Potential Environmental The operations and facilities of the Company are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations including those described above, as well as associated permitting and licensing requirements. The Company regards compliance with applicable environmental regulations as a critical component of its overall operation and devotes significant attention to protecting the health and safety of its employees and to protecting the Company's facilities from environmental problems. Management believes that the Company has obtained or applied for all permits and approvals required under existing environmental laws and regulations to operate its current business. In light of coverage of the state reimbursement funds and certain indemnification provisions included in various acquisition contracts, management does not believe that any pending or threatened environmental litigation or enforcement action(s) will materially and adversely affect the Company's business. While the Company has implemented appropriate operating procedures at each of its facilities designed to assure compliance with environmental laws and regulations, given the nature of its business, the Company always is subject to environmental risks and the possibility remains that the Company's ownership of its facilities and its operations and activities could result in civil or criminal enforcement and public as well as private action(s) against the Company, which may necessitate or generate mandatory clean up activities, revocation of required permits or licenses, denial of application for future permits, or significant fines, penalties or damages, any and all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. OTHER Rocky Mountain Propane LLC. The Company also has a wholesale, retail and commercial propane business that provides service to over 2,900 residential and 260 commercial propane customers. In September 2001, the Company's equity ownership in Rocky Mountain Propane LLC ("RMP") was reduced from 65% to 61% due to additional capital investment into RMP by management. The Company plans to sell the remaining 61% equity interest. SABA Power Company Ltd. Saba Power Company Ltd. ("Saba Power") is a limited liability corporation in Pakistan. It was established in early 1995 to pursue development of a power plant project in Pakistan. The Company has a 1.5% interest in Saba Power, which has a power plant project 40 miles from Lahore, Pakistan. Costs for the 125 megawatt plant were approximately $160 million. Construction activity was completed in December of 1999 and the plant began selling electricity in January 2000. Due to the political situation in Pakistan, the debt financing relating to the project is such that substantially all of the cash flow is being applied to pay down the existing debt. Capco Asset Management, Inc. Capco Asset Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, owns equity securities in other public companies. The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of these securities to principally fund its oil and gas operations. 9 Insurance The Company has a commercial liability policy, an umbrella policy, workmen's compensation insurance, as well as other policies covering damage to its properties. These policies cover Company facilities, employees, equipment, inventories and vehicles in all states of operation. While management believes the Company's insurance coverage is adequate for most foreseeable problems, and is comparable with the coverage of other companies in the same business and of similar size, its coverage does not protect the Company for most third party liabilities relating to damage of the environment. Such environmental related coverage to third parties, is generally unavailable or available only at a prohibitive cost. Employees Capco employs approximately 219 people, none of whom are represented by any collective bargaining organizations. Management considers its employee relations to be satisfactory at the present time. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES OFFICE FACILITIES. Capco leases space for its executive offices at 2922 East Chapman Avenue, Suite 202, Orange, California 92869. The Company's petroleum distribution operation leases office space in Denver, Colorado. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES.

(2) A gross well is a well in which a working interest is owned. The number of wells is the total number of wells in which a working interest is owned. (3) A net well is deemed to exist when the sum of fractional ownership working interests owned in gross wells equals one. The number of net wells is the sum of the fractional ownership working interests owned in gross wells expressed in whole numbers and fractions thereof. UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company acquired leasehold interests in two shut-in properties in Vermillion and Beauregard Parishes, Louisiana. A re-completion attempt on one location in the fourth quarter of the year was not successful; the Company is re-evaluating the prognosis for the second location prior to commencement of a re-completion attempt of this well. 12 Capco's oil and gas properties are in the form of mineral leases. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a preliminary investigation of title is made at the time of acquisition of undeveloped properties. Title investigations are generally completed, however, before commencement of drilling operations. Capco believes that its methods of investigating are consistent with practices customary in the industry and that it has generally satisfactory title to the leases covering its proved reserves. DRILLING ACTIVITY. Capco drilled one dry hole in California during the year ended December 31, 2001. Additional drilling activity consisted of re-completion attempts of previously drilled locations in Louisiana and Texas. Capco drilled one productive development well and no dry wells during the year ended December 31, 2000. No wells were drilled during the fiscal period ended December 31, 1999. DELIVERY COMMITMENTS. Capco is not obligated to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil and gas in the future pursuant to existing contracts or agreements. CONVENIENCE STORE PROPERTIES The Company owns, and operates, seven convenience store properties. The properties are located in four municipalities in Colorado and New Mexico. Each location consists of fuel dispensers for gasoline and diesel, as well as a convenience store for the sale of food, beverage and tobacco products. Three of the locations include underground fuel storage tanks, while the remaining four stores sell fuel on a card-lock system. DISTRIBUTION OF REFINED PETROLEUM PRODUCTS PROPERTIES The Company operates twelve terminals/bulk plants/warehouse combinations. Two of these facilities are located in New Mexico, four are in Wyoming, five are in Colorado and one is in Nevada. The Company owns ten of these facilities and leases the remaining two. The Company operates fourteen card-lock facilities, of which thirteen are owned. Four of the card-locks are located in New Mexico, three are in Colorado, six are in Wyoming and one is in Nevada. The Company owns a substantial amount of personal property, including above and below ground tanks located at its bulk plants, warehouses and card-locks described above. It also owns approximately 2,650 portable above ground fuel and propane tanks, 3 automobiles, 81 trucks/bobtails, 37 tractors/trucks, 86 trailers and 18 forklifts. The Company also leases approximately 28 tractors/trucks under operating leases. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is a party to certain litigation that has arisen in the normal course of its business and that of its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, none of this litigation is likely to result in a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report, no matter was submitted to a vote of Capco's security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. 13 PART II ITEM 5.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that include, among others, statements concerning: the benefits expected to result from Capco's acquisition of MEI, including synergies in the form of increased revenues, decreased expenses and expenditures that are expected to be realized by Capco as a result of the acquisition, and other statements of: expectations, anticipations, beliefs, estimations, projections, and other similar matters that are not historical facts, including such matters as: future capital requirements, development and exploration expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), drilling of wells, reserve estimates (including estimates of future net revenues associated with such reserves and the present value of such future net revenues), future production of oil and gas, repayment of debt, the sale of refined petroleum products, business strategies, and expansion and growth of business operations. 14 These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the management of Capco in light of past experience and perception of: historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors that the management of Capco believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Capco cautions the reader that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those associated with the financial environment, the regulatory environment, and trend projections, that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those risks and uncertainties identified below. Significant factors that could prevent Capco from achieving its stated goals include: the failure by Capco to integrate the respective operations of Capco and its acquisitions or to achieve the synergies expected from the acquisitions, declines in the market prices for oil and gas, increase in refined product prices, and adverse changes in the regulatory environment affecting Capco. Capco or persons acting on its or their behalf should consider the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this report in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued. Capco undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 2001, the Company had a negative working capital of $4.4 million. This negative working capital is principally due to the current portion of long-term debt. Management plans to sell the approximately $4.0 million in marketable securities and other assets to pay its debt. Subsequent to year end Management has sold marketable securities and paid certain debts, Management has entered into an agreement to sell its propane operations, Management has listed with real estate brokers certain non core assets such as undeveloped land and other real estate the proceeds of which will be used to reduce debt, Management has sold its ownership in an office building, Management is in discussions with a lender to convert $1.5 million in current debt to long term, Management has consolidated its petroleum marketing segment's accounting and administrative functions, Management has reduced its administrative staff, and Management is attempting to acquire additional oil and gas operations to cover administrative overhead. Cash flows provided by operations for the period ended December 31, 2001 were $2.1 million. Cash provided during this period is principally due to the reduction of accounts receivable and inventory offset by reduction in accounts payable. Management expects to continue to have a provision of cash from operations for the coming year as oil and gas production is projected to increase due to developmental activities and to continual operating cash flow in refined petroleum marketing segment. Management projects that the Company will have a loss from operations for the coming year unless an acquisition is made. Cash flows provided by investing activities for the period ended December 31, 2001, were $2.3 million. This source is principally due to sales of marketable securities offset by the acquisition of MEI. Management plans to sell the remaining marketable securities during the coming year and use the proceeds to reduce debt. 15 Cash flows used by financing activities for the period ended December 31, 2001, were $4.7 million. This use is principally due to the reduction in short and long term debt. The Company has a revolving bank credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. allowing for borrowings to a maximum of $12.5 million, which expires December 31, 2002. The credit line is subject to a borrowing base, as defined. At December 31, 2001, the borrowing base was approximately $6.1 million; $5.2 million was borrowed against the facility and is recorded as a current liability. During the year 2001, and at December 31, 2001, the Company was out of compliance with several covenants contained in the agreement. The Company obtained waivers from the lender for noncompliance at December 31, 2001. The Company has various loans with banks, suppliers and individuals, which require principal payments of $5.2 million in 2002. Management is in discussions with certain of its lenders to restructure some of its current debt into long term debt. The Company is obligated to pay operating lease costs of approximately $0.8 million in 2002 for land, building, facilities and equipment. The Company is responsible for any contamination of land it owns or leases. However, the Company's cost may have limitations on any potential contamination liabilities, as well as claims for reimbursement from third parties. For the period ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded expenses of $0.1 million, for site assessment, cleanup related costs and regulatory compliance. The Company has accrued $0.9 million at December 31, 2001, for environmental remediation, which amount management believes to be adequate to cover known remediation requirements in the future which are not expected to be reimbursed by third parties. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's exposure to interest rate changes is primarily related to its variable rate debt issued under its $12.5 million revolving credit facility (See Note 6 to the Financial Statements). Because the interest rate on this facility is variable, based upon the lender's base rate, the Company's interest expense and net income are affected by interest rate fluctuations. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the result, based upon the existing outstanding debt as of December 31, 2001, would be an annual increase or decrease of approximately $52,000 in interest expense and a corresponding decrease or increase of approximately $31,000 in the Company's net income (loss) after taxes. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION SEGMENT Capco's revenues from oil and gas activities were $1.6 million in 2001 compared to $1.4 million in 2000. This increase is primarily due to production from the Caplen Field in Galveston County, Texas that was acquired by the Company in March 2000. On a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis, the Company's total production increased to 64,975 BOE in 2001 from 49,246 BOE in 2000. The average sales price received per BOE decreased to $23.98 in 2001 from $27.44 in 2000. 16 Capco's cost of sales were $0.8 million in 2001 compared to $0.5 million in 2000. This increase is primarily due to the increase in production volumes and expenditures incurred in connection with well remediation activities initiated by the Company in its efforts to increase production. Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $0.4 million in 2001 compared to $0.4 million in 2000. Net operating revenues from Capco's oil and gas production are very sensitive to changes in the price of oil; thus it is difficult for management to predict whether or not the Company will be profitable in the future. CONVENIENCE STORE OPERATIONS Effective August 1, 2001, the Company assumed the operations of convenience stores located in New Mexico and Colorado from an affiliate. Sales, cost of sales and general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2001, totaled $2.7 million, $2.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. REFINED PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT Capco's revenues from refined product distribution segment were $92.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $-0- in 2000. The increase is due to the purchase of MEI. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $12.7 million and $-0-, respectively. The increase is due to the purchase of MEI. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is due to the purchase of MEI. Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2001, was $1.2 million compared to $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is due to the purchase of MEI. OTHER ITEMS Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs were $1.6 million in 2001 compared to $1.3 million in 2000. Personnel costs increased $0.3 million as the Company hired additional employees for the increase in business activity and to lessen its utilization of third party consultants. Expenses attributable to third party services decreased $0.1 million. SG&A costs in 2001 also include write offs for un-collectible accounts receivable in the amount of $0.3 million. Interest expense increased to $1.3 million in 2001 from $0.5 million in 2000. This increase is attributable to the increase in long-term debt balances outstanding during the respective periods. Gain on sale of assets increased to $5.9 million in 2001 from $5.6 million in 2000 as the Company continued to sell marketable securities and other assets for working capital and to provide funding for its acquisitions. 17 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 Capco's revenues from its oil and gas activities were $0.1 million in 1999 and $1.3 million in 2000. This increase in revenue is primarily due to production from properties acquired in late 1999 and 2000. Production costs increased from $0.1 million in 1999 to $0.5 million in 2000. This increase is related to the properties purchased. Selling, general and administrative costs were $0.4 million in 1999 and $1.9 million in 2000. This increase is related to increased activities. Total other expense was $0.1 million in 1999 and $0.4 million in 2000. This increase is principally due to increased interest expense due to borrowings. Gain on sale of assets was $-0- in 1999 and $5.7 million in 2000. This increase is principally due to sale of marketable securities. Equity loss in investments was $-0- in 1999 and $1.4 million in 2000. This increase is related to losses in the Company's equity investments in Meteor Stores, Inc., Zelcom Industries, Inc. and Meteor Industries, Inc. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN PRICES Changes in prices during the past few years have been a significant factor in the oil and gas industry. The price received for the oil produced by Capco fluctuated significantly during the last year. Changes in the price that Capco receives for its oil and gas is set by market forces beyond Capco's control as well as governmental intervention. The volatility and uncertainty in oil and gas prices have made it more difficult for a company like Capco to increase its oil and gas asset base and become a significant participant in the oil and gas industry. Capco sells most of its oil and gas production to certain major oil companies. However, in the event these purchasers discontinued oil and gas purchases, Capco has made contact with other purchasers who would purchase the oil and gas at terms standard in the industry. The prices the Company pays for gasoline and diesel products are subject to market fluctuation and not in the control of the Company. Prices for these products can and have fluctuated significantly. Higher product prices could have a significant impact on the Company's borrowing capabilities due to the generally faster timing required for payments to the Company's suppliers compared to the timing of collection of receivables from its customers. When necessary, the Company finances these working capital requirements through its revolving bank credit facility. This facility contains certain financial covenants, which are based on the Company's budgeted results. If, as a result of price changes or other factors, the Company is unable to meet its debt covenants, its ability to continue to borrow under the revolving credit facility could be limited. If that were to occur, the Company would have to make alternative financial arrangements, which could include seeking additional debt or equity financing which may or may not be available. ITEM 7.

F-10 CAPCO ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2001 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS Capco Energy, Inc. ("Capco" or the "Company") is an independent energy company engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, production of and the sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids and the sale of refined petroleum products. Capco's operations consist of three segments of business: oil and gas production, convenience store operations and distribution of refined petroleum products. The Company's production activities are located principally in the United States. Foreign operations are not significant to either consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 2922 East Chapman Avenue, Suite 202, Orange, California. The Company was incorporated as Alfa Resources, Inc., a Colorado corporation, on January 6, 1981. In November 1999, the Company amended it articles of incorporation to change its name from Alfa Resources, Inc. to Capco Energy, Inc. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Effective December 31, 1999, Capco acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Capco Resource Corporation ("CRC") (See Note 2) a corporation involved in oil and gas production. As a result, CRC's former stockholders obtained control of Capco. For accounting purposes, this acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition with CRC as the accounting acquirer. The financial statements presented include CRC at cost since January 19, 1999, CRC's inception, and Capco at fair market value as of December 31, 1999. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capco and it's wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, all references herein to Capco or the Company include the consolidated results. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's significant subsidiaries include CRC, Meteor Enterprises, Inc. ("MEI"), Capco Asset Management, Inc. ("CAM"), Capco Resources Ltd. ("CRL") and Capco Monument LLC ("Monument"). RISK FACTORS RELATED TO CONCENTRATION OF SALES AND PRODUCTS The Company's future financial condition and results of operations will depend upon prices received for its oil and natural gas and the costs of finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves, and the prices the Company pays for gasoline and diesel products. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond the Company's control. These factors include worldwide political instability (especially in the Middle East), the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the price of foreign imports, the level of consumer product demand and the price and availability of alternative fuels. F-11 The prices the Company pays for gasoline and diesel products are subject to market fluctuation and are not in the control of the Company. Prices for these products can and have fluctuated significantly. Higher product prices could have a significant impact on the Company's borrowing capabilities due to the generally faster timing required for payments to the Company's suppliers compared to the timing of collection of receivables from its customers. When necessary, the Company finances these working capital requirements through its revolving bank credit facility. This facility contains certain financial covenants, which are based on the Company's budgeted results. If, as a result of price changes or other factors, the Company is unable to meet its debt covenants, its ability to continue to borrow under the revolving credit facility could be limited. If that were to occur, the Company would have to make alternative financial arrangements, which could include seeking additional debt or equity financing which may or may not be available. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management used significant estimates in determining the carrying value of its oil and gas producing assets and the associated depreciation and depletion expense related to sales' volumes. The significant estimates included the use of proved oil and gas reserve volumes and the related present value of estimated future net revenues therefrom (See Supplemental Information About Oil and Gas Producing Activities). CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible into cash with an original maturity of three months or less. RESTRICTED CASH The Company has revolving bank credit facilities, which require the use of depository accounts from which collected funds are transferred to the lender. The lender then applies these collections to the revolving credit facilities. These accounts are controlled by the lender. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including accounts receivable (trade and related party), notes receivable and accounts payable (trade and related party), and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts owed for long-term debt and revolving credit facility also approximate fair value because interest rates and terms offered to the Company are at current market rates. F-12 CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances have exceeded the FDIC insured levels at various times during the year. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is primarily concentrated in the diesel, gasoline and greases and lubricants segments. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for un-collectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories of petroleum products, greases and lubricants, and related products are stated at the first in first out (FIFO) basis. Inventories of petroleum products at convenience store locations are stated at average cost. In-store inventories are stated on the FIFO basis. INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES For equity securities that the Company i) does not exercise control in the investee and ii) expects to divest within a short period of time, the Company accounts for the investment under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In accordance with FASB No. 115, equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term (thus held for only a short period of time) are classified as trading securities and all other securities are classified as available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For trading securities any realized gains or losses and any unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations. For available-for-sale securities any realized gains and losses are reported in the statement of operations and any unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. For equity investments that the Company i) exercises control in the investee and ii) expects to hold for long term investment, the Company accounts for the investment under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No.18 "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock". In accordance with APB No. 18, under the equity method the Company records the initial investment at cost, then reduces it by dividends and increases or decreases it by the Company's proportionate share of the investee's net earnings or loss. F-13 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The Company follows the "full-cost" method of accounting for oil and gas property and equipment costs. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisitions, geological and geophysical services, drilling, completion, equipment, and certain general and administrative costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration, and development activities. General and administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as incurred. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties, except in transactions that involve a significant amount of reserves. The proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties are generally treated as a reduction of oil and gas property costs. Fees from associated oil and gas exploration and development partnerships, if any, will be credited to oil and gas property costs to the extent they do not represent reimbursement of general and administrative expenses currently charged to expense. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, future development, site restoration and dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are estimated on a property-by-property basis based on current economic conditions and are amortized to expense as the Company's capitalized oil and gas property costs are amortized. Non-oil and gas producing properties and equipment are stated at cost; major renewals and improvements are charged to the property and equipment accounts; while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed currently. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to operations. DEPRECIATION AND DEPLETION The provision for depreciation and depletion of oil and gas properties is computed on the unit-of-production method. Under this method, the Company computes the provision by multiplying the total unamortized costs of oil and gas properties including future development, site restoration, and dismantlement abandonment costs, but excluding costs of unproved properties by an overall rate determined by dividing the physical units of oil and gas produced during the period by the total estimated units of proved oil and gas reserves. This calculation is done on a country-by-country basis. As of December 31, 2001, the Company conducts oil production operations in the United States and Canada. The cost of unevaluated properties not being amortized, to the extent there is such a cost, is assessed quarterly to determine whether the value has been impaired below the capitalized cost. The cost of any impaired property is transferred to the balance of oil and gas properties being depleted. The costs associated with unevaluated properties relate to projects which were undergoing exploration or development activities or in which the Company intends to commence such activities in the future. The Company will begin to amortize these costs when proved reserves are established or impairment is determined. Management believes no such impairment exists at December 31, 2001. F-14 At the end of each reporting period, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved properties using current prices, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects ("Ceiling Limitation"). The calculation of the ceiling limitation and provision for depreciation, depletion, and amortization is based on estimates of proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proven reserves and in projecting the future rates of production, timing, and plan of development. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing, and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. Depreciation for non-oil and gas properties is recorded on the straight-line method at rates based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to forty years of the assets. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized when the products are delivered, net of applicable provisions for discounts and allowances. Revenue from services is recognized when the services are performed and billable. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Under APB 25, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee stock options, as no options are granted at a price below market price on the date of grant. F-15 In 1996, SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", became effective for the Company. SFAS No. 123, which prescribes the recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value of options on the grant date, allows companies to continue applying APB 25 if certain pro forma disclosures are made assuming hypothetical fair value method, for which the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For non-employee stock based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant. For stock-based awards the value is Based on the market value for the stock on the date of grant and if the stock has restrictions as to transferability a discount is provided for lack of tradeability. Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES The Company expenses environmental expenditures related to existing conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no future benefit is discernible. Expenditures, which extend the life of the related property or mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. The Company determines and records its liability on a site-by-site basis at the time when it is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company's estimated liability is recorded net of the anticipated participation of other potentially responsible parties in those instances where it is probable that such parties are legally responsible and financially capable of paying their respective shares of the relevant costs. INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. F-16 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company has other comprehensive income relating to foreign currency translations and unrecognized holding gains from marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company uses SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company's weighted average shares outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000 would have increased for 1,659,000 and 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, if associated stock options would have had a dilutive effect. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 16 and requires that any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for as a purchase; therefore, eliminating the pooling-of-interest method defined in APB 16. The statement was effective for any business combination initiated after June 30, 2001 and applies to all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations since the Company has not participated in such activities covered under this pronouncement. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles." SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition, measurement and amortization of intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) and addresses the amortization provisions for excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired or intangibles acquired in a business combination. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is effective July 1, 2001 for any intangibles acquired in a business combination initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations since the Company has not participated in such activities covered under this pronouncement. F-17 In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires companies to record the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred. The statement applies to a company's legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction, and development or through the normal operation of a long-lived asset. When a liability is initially recorded, the company would capitalize the cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related asset. The capitalized asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of the respective asset while the liability is accreted to its present value. Upon settlement of the liability, the obligation is settled at its recorded amount or the company incurs a gain or loss. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations. In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses the accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. New criteria must be met to classify the asset as an asset held-for-sale. This statement also focuses on reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years to be consistent with the classification as of December 31, 2001. 2. BUSINESS COMBINATION, ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURES: The Company had the following acquisitions and divestments during the year ended December 31, 2001: In January 2001, the Company transferred an equity interest in CRL at a cost basis of $9,000, which approximated the net book value of CRL, for the acquisition, and cancellation, of 28,300 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In January 2001, the Company acquired for cancellation, 54,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock from a related party, in exchange for an oil and gas property interest at a cost basis of $50,000. In February 2001, the Company acquired for cancellation 586,217 shares of Common Stock from a related party, in exchange for 51,600 shares of marketable securities owned by the Company with a market value of $672,000, less indebtedness in the amount of $127,000 related to the marketable securities. F-18 In April 2001, the Company purchased MEI from Meteor Industries, Inc. ("MII") for $5.6 million and assumption of certain environmental liabilities and other indemnities. MEI owned substantially all of MII's assets; excluded were 400,000 shares of common stock of Active IQ Technologies, Inc. and certain amounts of cash, which remained in MII. Also, MEI contains all of the liabilities of MII, except those associated with certain costs. The Company's financial statements reflect the operations of MEI since April 30, 2001, the date of acquisition. Pro forma information as if the transaction had taken place at the beginning of each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001, is disclosed in Note 15 to these financial statements. The purchase price of $5.6 million was paid in the form of $4.8 million cash, of which the Company borrowed $1.8 million and sold $3.0 million of marketable securities, $300,000 of MII common stock, and $500,000 in a note payable to the seller. At the time of the acquisition, the Company had $1.8 million of debt due to MEI. Upon closing of the acquisition MEI relieved the Company of the debt. Capco has treated the cancellation of debt as a reduction in the purchase price, resulting in a net acquisition cost of $3.8 million. The acquisition of MEI has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the total purchase price has been allocated on the basis of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The components of the purchase price and its allocation to the assets and liabilities of MEI, are as follows (in thousands): Components of purchase price: Consideration paid $ 5,580 Notes payable, cancelled (1,755) ------- Total purchase price 3,825 Allocation of purchase price: Stockholder's equity of Meteor Enterprises, Inc. (8,012) Decrease in accounts receivable 795 Increase in inventories (elimination of LIFO reserve and adjustment to fair value) (354) Increase in deferred income taxes (SFAS 109) 253 Decrease in investment 107 Decrease in Saba Power Project 690 Increase in accrued expenses 832 ------- Fair value of net assets in excess of purchase price (negative goodwill) (1,864) Allocation of negative goodwill: Plant, property and equipment 1,356 Intangibles 508 ------- $ -0- ======= In May and August 2001, the Company issued a total of 15,658 shares of Common Stock for equity interests in CRL at a total cost basis of $11,000. F-19 In August 2001, the Company assumed the operations, assets and liabilities of convenience stores located in Colorado and New Mexico that were formerly owned and operated by Meteor Stores, Inc ("MSI"). In connection with this transaction all related party debts owed by MSI to MEI were eliminated, the Company's equity interest in MSI was reduced from 45.0% to 22.5%, and the related party balance due to the Company was reduced to $99,000. In August and September 2001, the Company invested an additional $4,000 in Zelcom Industries, Inc. ("Zelcom"), in connection with that company's re-capitalization and business combination with neoRhino Industries ("neoRhino"), which included additional capital investment by third party shareholders. As a result the Company's equity interest in neoRhino was reduced from 35% to 29.4%. In August 2001, the Company closed on a debt restructuring with one of its lenders that resulted in the following: the Company acquired two tracts of land at a total cost of $850,000, the Company acquired a 33.33% equity interest in a privately-held propane distribution company at a cost of $550,000, an 8% promissory note payable in the amount of $2.6 million was cancelled by the lender, and accrued expenses due to the lender in the amount of $94,000 were paid by the Company. Consideration paid by the Company consisted of the issuance of new promissory notes in the total amount of $4.1 million to the lender. In December 2001, the Company increased its ownership in producing oil and gas properties in Kansas and Texas that it operated by acquiring working interests held by other owners in the properties. The total acquisition cost of $375,000 was funded by cash payments, the assumption of accounts receivable owed by the sellers and production payables. The Company had the following acquisitions and divestments during the year ended December 31, 2000: In January 2000, the Company acquired a 100% interest in MSI for $1.5 million, consisting of $200,000 cash and a note payable in the amount of $1.3 million, which was collateralized by 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of MSI and 210,000 shares of MII held by the Company. MSI is involved in petroleum distribution through convenience stores. In September 2000, as amended in December 2000 with an effective date of January 1, 2000, the Company sold 55% of its interest in MSI to an unrelated third party, who was and is the President of MSI, for consideration of $394,000, consisting of $55,000 in cash and 413,978 shares of the Company's Common Stock held by the purchaser. Effective as of the date of such transaction the Company cancelled the shares. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting. In February 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of an 80% interest of the issued and outstanding common stock of Zelcom, a company involved in Internet applications. The Company accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting, as the Company reduced its ownership to 35% in December 2000 by selling 56% of its ownership to Sedco, Inc., a private company owned by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for 363,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Effective as of the date of such transaction the Company cancelled the shares. F-20 In March 2000, the Company purchased a proven oil and gas property in Texas for cash consideration of $618,000 from an unrelated third party. In March 2000, the Company increased its investment in CRL from approximately 9.9% with a cost of $143,000 to approximately 81.9% by the issuance of 11,867,558 shares of its Common Stock and the assumption of indebtedness in the amount of $1.1 million for 6,548,029 shares of CRL, which were acquired from a majority stockholder of the Company. Therefore, the transaction has been accounted for at the net book value of CRL. The shares issued were valued at $7.7 million, which was determined at the net book value of CRL of $10.7 million less the 18.1% of minority interest of $1.9 million, and the assumed debt of $1.1 million. During the period from July 2000 to December 31, 2000, the Company issued an additional 1,019,592 shares of its Common Stock to stockholders of CRL in exchange for 509,796 shares of CRL's common stock, increasing its equity ownership of CRL to 87.5%. The shares issued were valued at $623,000, which approximated the net book value of the shares purchased from the minority holders, resulting in an increase to stockholders' equity and a corresponding decrease in minority interest of $623,000. At March 31, 2000, CRL was a holding company with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Capco Asset Management ("CAM"), which had investments in publicly traded companies, as follows: i) 1,290,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 30% interest, of Greka Energy Corporation ("Greka"), which is in the business of oil and gas production principally in the United States, ii) 1,238,550 shares of common stock, or approximately 33% interest, of MII, which is in the business of petroleum marketing in the United States, and iii) convertible notes receivable issued by Chaparral Resources, Inc. ("Chaparral"), which is in the business of oil and gas production in Kazakhstan. In September 2000, the notes receivable including accrued interest were converted into 427,113 shares of common stock of Chaparral. The investment in CRL is accounted for on a consolidated basis and the Company's consolidated statements of operation and cash flow include CRL's results of operations and cash flow from the date of the increased investment, April 1, 2000. In October 2000, the Company acquired an additional 1,612,903 shares of Chaparral's Common Stock for $3.0 million. The Chaparral shares were transferred to CRL as the Company's consideration for the purchase of CRL's wholly owned subsidiary CAM. At the date of the transaction, the consolidated net book value of CRL, which included CAM and unrecognized gains on marketable securities in the amount of $8.2 million, was greater than the net book value of CRL following receipt by CRL of the Chaparral common stock. The minority interest in CRL decreased as a result of this transaction. This decrease in the CRL minority stockholders' interest in the amount of $1.2 million has been accounted for as an addition to the Company's purchase price for CRL, resulting in an increase to stockholders' equity and a corresponding decrease in minority interest in the consolidated financial statements. F-21 The net assets and purchase price of CRL consisted of the following (in thousands): Cash $ 4 Marketable securities 8,303 Accounts and notes receivable 1,169 Oil and gas properties 118 Investment in closely held business 2,440 Accounts payable and accrued expenses ( 503) Long term debt ( 798) ------ Net assets 10,733 Minority interest ( 1,943) ------ Net assets acquired 8,790 Additional liabilities assumed in connection with investment ( 1,089) Minority interests acquired by exchange of shares 616 Exchange of Chaparral common stock for minority interest in CAM 1,205 ------ Cost of investment $ 9,523 ====== In July 2000, effective January 1, 2000, CRC assigned 50% of its interest in proved property located in Kansas to five unrelated parties for interests in oil and gas producing properties in New Mexico. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of this transaction as it represented a transfer of working interests within the full cost pool. In December 2000, the Company purchased a proven oil and gas property in California for cash consideration of $300,000 from an unrelated third party. 3. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES-MARKETABLE SECURITIES As of December 31, 2001, the Company had marketable securities in common stock of $4.0 million, which consisted of $98,000 classified as trading and $3.9 million classified as available-for-sale. The common stock available-for-sale, with an aggregate fair market value of $3.9 million, had aggregate unrealized holding gains of $791,000, reflected as cumulative unrecognized gains in the statement of stockholders' equity, and aggregate realized holding losses of $565,000 reflected in the current year's statement of operations, for a cost basis of $3.6 million. At December 31, 2001, marketable securities with a carrying value of $3.4 million collateralized a portion of the Company's long-term debt (see Note 7). F-22 4. INVENTORY Inventory consisted of the following as of December 31, 2001 (in thousands): Gasoline and diesel fuel $ 475 Grease and oil lubricants 1,974 Antifreeze and other 367 Convenience store merchandise 166 ------ Total $ 2,982 ====== 5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2001(in thousands): Developed oil and gas property $ 5,173 Undeveloped oil and gas property 352 Real estate 4,000 Equipment 6,274 Buildings and improvements 3,274 ------ Total 19,073 Accumulated depreciation and depletion (1,881) ------ Property, plant and equipment, net $ 17,192 ====== At December 31, 2001, these assets collateralized a portion of the Company's long-term debt (see Note 7). Depreciation and depletion expense totaled $1.6 million and $363,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company has listed for sale, at an aggregate sales price of $6.5 million, land and buildings, that are not part of the core business of oil production or petroleum distribution. It is the Company's intention to dispose of the properties over a period of time that allows for optimum return to the Company based on market conditions and the Company's assessment of the best utilization of the property at the time that a purchase offer is tendered to the Company. The book value of these properties is approximately $3.6 million. The current portion of long-term debt associated with these properties is approximately $1.4 million and the long-term debt associated with these properties is approximately $1.7 million. F-23 5. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES EQUITY METHOD At January 1, 2001, the Company owned 1,139,000 shares (approximately 31.9%) of common stock of MII. The Company's investment was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In April 2001, the Company acquired MEI, which included substantially all of the operations of MII (see Note 2). The financial position of MEI at December 31, 2001, and its results of operations since date of acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's portion ($78,000) of MII's operations for the period in the year 2001 prior to the acquisition is reflected in the statement of operations as equity from operations of investments. At January 1, 2001, the Company owned a 45% equity interest in MSI, a private company that operates convenience stores in New Mexico and Colorado. The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Effective August 1, 2001, the Company's equity interest in MSI was reduced to 22.5% (see Note 2). No amount of investee earnings (losses) is reflected in the current year's financial statements as the Company had reduced its investment in MSI to zero in the prior year, and the current year's operations by MSI resulted in a loss. The Company owns a 29.4% equity interest in neoRhino Industries, Inc. ("neoRhino"), formerly Zelcom Industries, a private company involved in Internet applications. The Company acquired an 80% interest in neoRhino in the first quarter of the year 2000 by the issuance of 200,000 shares of Common Stock and a working capital commitment to fund neoRhino's operations during the year. Such funding amounted to $474,000 for the year 2000 and was accounted for as additional capital investments by the Company. In December 2000, the Company sold a portion of its equity holdings in neoRhino, reducing its ownership to 35%. Sales consideration in the amount of $338,000 consisted of the receipt of 363,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock that were retired, resulting in a reported gain on the sale in the amount of $224,000. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $89,000. The investment was accounted for using the equity method during the entire year 2000, as the Company's intent was to reduce its ownership before the end of the year. At December 31, 2001, the Company's reported equity in neoRhino was $-0-, due to operating losses sustained during the year, the reduction in ownership and the impairment adjustment. In August and September 2001, the Company invested an additional $4,000 in neoRhino in connection with that company's re-capitalization, which included additional capital investment by third party shareholders. As a result the Company's equity interest in neoRhino was reduced from 35% to 29.4%. The Company owns a 50% equity interest in Coors Pyramid LLC, a private company that owns a convenience store location that is leased to the Company at a monthly rental of $3,000. The carrying value at December 31, 2001, was $81,000. The Company owns a 50% equity interest in Meteor Office LLC ("Meteor Office"), a company that is a participant in a real estate joint venture that owns the office building in which the Company offices in Denver, Colorado. In January 2002, the Company sold its equity interest in Meteor Office. The carrying value at December 31, 2001, $140,000, reflects the distribution received by the Company following the sale of its equity interest. F-24 In September the Company's equity ownership in Rocky Mountain Propane LLC ("RMP") was reduced from 65% to 61% due to additional capital investment into RMP by management. The Company accounts for its investment in RMP using the equity method due to the fact that the Company has voting and control interests that are less than 51%. COST METHOD The Company owns a 100% equity interest in El Boracho Inc., a company that holds title to a state liquor license for one of the Company's convenience stores. The carrying value at December 31, 2001, was $95,000. The Company owns a 50% equity interest in Rio Rancho, LLC, a private company that owns real estate. The carrying value at December 31, 2001, was $225,000. In August 2001, the Company acquired a 33.3% equity interest in Mesa Propane, Inc. ("Mesa"), a private company engaged in the business of distributing propane to individual and commercial customers. The Company does not exercise significant influence over the business operations of Mesa, and there are no material transactions between the two parties. Accordingly, the Company accounts for its investment under the cost method, which at December 31, 2001, was $550,000. 6. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY The Company has a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $12.5 million, which expires on December 31, 2002. The amount available under the revolving credit facility ("borrowing base") is a function of the sum of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined by the revolving credit agreement up to the maximum commitment. At December 31, 2001, the borrowing base was approximately $6.1 million, and the outstanding balance was $5.2 million. Advances requested by the Company are subject to an interest rate of the lender's base rate plus 0.5% (4.75% at December 31, 2001). Additionally, the Company pays an annual commitment fee of 0.25% of the maximum commitment. The Company's petroleum products distribution trade accounts receivable and inventory collateralize the revolving credit facility. The terms of the revolving credit agreement contain, among other provisions, requirements for maintaining certain net worth, minimum earnings after taxes, minimum debt service coverage, and other financial ratios and specific limits on additional indebtedness, equity financing, liens and merger activity. During the year 2001, and at December 31, 2001, the Company was out of compliance with several covenants contained in the agreement. The Company obtained waivers from the lender for noncompliance at December 31, 2001. The credit agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause, therefore the entire borrowings under the revolving credit facility are classified as a current liability. F-25 7. LONG TERM DEBT Long term debt consisted of the following as of December 31, 2001 (in thousands): Notes payable to banks with monthly payments ranging from $2,913 to $47,744, interest at 4.75% to 9.65%, maturing from November 2002 to May 2014, collateralized by property and equipment $ 1,977 Notes payable to suppliers with monthly payments ranging from $4,853 to $8,082, interest at 3.9% to 8.0%, maturing from December 2006 to July 2007, collateralized by property and equipment 646 Notes payable to individuals with monthly payments ranging from $1,111 to $72,654, interest at 7.0% to 8.5%, maturing from April 2003 to November 2013, collateralized by property and equipment 5,452 Notes payable to financial institutions with monthly payments ranging from $485 to $4,185, interest at 8.25% to 10.25%, maturing from January 2002 to June 2006, collateralized by property and equipment 840 Capital leases with monthly payments ranging from $509 to $1,215, interest at 0.9% to 8.72%, maturing November 2002 to September 2005, collateralized by equipment 65 Note payable, with interest at 10%, due in April 2002, collateralized by an affiliate's pledge of the Company's Common Stock owned by the affiliate 500 Note payable to an individual, interest at 18%, due in January 2002 35 Note payable to a bank, due in monthly payments of principal and interest of $7,000, interest at 4.5%, collateralized by real estate, common stock of a subsidiary of the Company and the personal guaranty of the Company's Chief Executive Officer 373 Notes payable, interest at 10%, due on September 30, 2001, collateralized by purchased property 1,550 Note payable, due on June 15, 2001, collateralized by marketable securities 160 F-26 Note payable to an individual, interest at 9% per annum plus an incremental interest rate of 1% for every $1 that West Texas Intermediate Crude exceeds $21 per barrel payable quarterly, convertible into Common Stock of the Company at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $1.50, with the unpaid principal due in May 2003 $ 25 Notes payable to securities firms, interest at 5.5% to 6.25%, collateralized by marketable securities owned by the Company 353 ------ Total debt 11,976 Less current maturities 5,164 ------ Long term debt $ 6,812 ====== The following is a summary of the principal amounts payable over the next five years and thereafter (in thousands): Year ending December 31, 2002 $ 5,164 2003 1,013 2004 678 2005 580 2006 375 Thereafter 4,166 ------ $11,976 ====== Interest expense for all corporate borrowings totaled $1.3 million and $470,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ENVIRONMENT Capco, as owner and operator of oil and gas properties and a distributor of refined petroleum products, is subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the owner of real property and the lessee under oil and gas leases for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations, subject the owner/lessee to liability for pollution damages and impose restrictions on the injection of liquids into subsurface strata. F-27 Although Company environmental policies and practices are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, future developments and increasing stringent regulations could require the Company to make additional unforeseen environmental expenditures. The Company accrues for environmental remedial actions, operations, maintenance and monitoring costs based on the net present value of the costs after a remediation plan has been developed. These costs are discounted using a risk free interest rate over the estimated period, which the remediation, operation, maintenance and monitoring costs are to be expended. Environmental accruals are routinely reviewed on an interim basis as events and developments warrant. The Company operates in various states, which have established environmental remediation trusts. The purpose of the funds is to provide monetary assistance in both assessing and correcting a site for environmental problems. As a result, the Company may have limitations on any potential contamination liabilities as well as claims for reimbursement from third parties. The Company maintains insurance coverage that it believes is customary in the industry, although it is not fully insured against all environmental risks. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, are $109,000 and $-0-, respectively, for site assessment, related cleanup costs and regulatory compliance. Included in other assets at December 31, 2001, are un-reimbursed costs from environmental remediation trusts of $57,000. At December 31, 2001, current liabilities included accrued expenses of $548,000, and non-current liabilities included accrued expenses of $308,000 for environmental remediation which management believes is adequate to cover known environmental remediation problems. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of December 31, 2001, that would have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, other than as disclosed above. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company's properties. LONG-TERM DEBT The Company is a co-signer on a note for its 50% owned equity investment in a subsidiary. The amount payable on the note at December 31, 2001, is $287,000.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 is presented below: 2001 2000 ------------------ ------------------- WEIGHTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE AVERAGE EXERCISE EXERCISE SHARES PRICE SHARES PRICE --------- ---------- --------- --------- Outstanding at beginning of year 900,000 $ 0.97 200,000 $ 0.93 Granted at market 1,450,000 $ 0.90 Granted exceeding market 2,370,000 $ 0.97 - $ - Exercised - $ - - $ - Forfeited (280,000) $ 1.13 (750,000) $ 0.84 --------- ------- Outstanding at end of year 2,990,000 $ 0.97 900,000 $ 0.97 ========= ===== ======= ===== Options exercisable at end of year 541,111 $ 0.93 169,444 $ 0.98 ========= ===== ======= ===== OPTIONS OUTSTANDING OPTIONS EXERCISABLE -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- WEIGHTED AVERAGE WEIGHTED WEIGHTED YEAR RANGE OF NUMBER REMAINING AVERAGE AVERAGE OPTIONS EXERCISE OUTSTAN- CONTRACTUAL EXERCISE NUMBER EXERCISE GRANTED PRICES DING LIFE PRICE EXERCISABLE PRICE ------- -------- --------- ----------- -------- ----------- -------- 1999 $0.93 200,000 2.0 years $0.93 144,444 $0.93 2000 $0.81 to $1.25 460,000 3.0 years $0.88 260,000 $0.91 2001 $0.93 to $1.00 2,330,000 3.7 years $0.99 136,667 $0.98 --------- ------- $0.93 to $1.25 2,990,000 3.0 years $0.97 541,111 $0.93 F-31 Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at grant dates for stock option awards consistent with the SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 2001 2000 --------- --------- Net income (in thousands): As reported $ 3,714 $ 2,205 Pro Forma $ 3,365 $ 2,077 Earnings per share-basic and diluted: As reported $ 0.19 $ 0.12 Pro Forma $ 0.18 $ 0.11 The pro forma compensation expense based on the fair value of the options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants: no dividends; expected lives ranging from three to five years for 2001, and three years for 2000; expected volatility of 24.1% and 22.0% for 2001 and 2000, respectively; and risk free rates of return of 3.0% and 6.19% for 2001 and 2000, respectively. The weighted average fair value of those purchase rights granted in 2001 and 2000 was $0.15 and $0.18, respectively. Non-employee options In April 2001, the Company issued an option to Sayed Consulting, Inc. ("Sayed") to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 exercisable for a period of five months. The option was issued in exchange for consulting services. Due to the relatively expected short life of the option, the per unit weighted-average fair value of unit options granted was $0.01 at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: weighted-average risk-free interest rates of 3.00%; dividend yields of 0%; weighted-average volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock of 24.1%; and an average expected life of the option of five months, and an exercise price of $1.00. The option expired in September 2001. If the option had been exercised, an additional option to acquire 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share would have been granted. Effective November 1, 2001, the Company amended the April 20, 2001, consulting contract with Sayed. The amended contract confirmed the grant of 150,000 shares of Common Stock (which was recorded as an expense of $110,000), an option to acquire 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.93 per share expiring March 31, 2002, an option to acquire 600,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.15 per share expiring on June 30, 2002, and as long as the agreement was in force on December 31, 2002, and the previous options had been exercised, an additional option expiring March 31, 2003, to acquire 150,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.75 per share. The fair value of the options is $3,400. The per unit weighted-average fair value of unit options granted was $0.003 at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 3.0%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's Common Stock of 24.1%; and an average expected life of the options ranging from 0.4 to 0.7 years. The weighted average exercise price is $1.05 for the options issued. At December 31, 2001, options to acquire 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock were exercisable at an average exercise price of $1.15.

INCOME TAXES Components of the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, are as follows: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Current $ - $ - Deferred - - ---- ---- Total provision $ - $ - ==== ==== The following reconciles the Federal statutory rate to the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Federal income tax rate (34.0)% (34.0)% Nondeductible expenses ( 1.0)% State income taxes, net of federal benefit ( 6.0)% ( 6.0)% Utilization of NOL carry forward 40.0 % 41.0 % Effect of valuation allowance - - ---- ---- Effective income tax rate 0.0 % 0.0 % ==== ==== At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $4.2 million. The Company anticipates that it will be able to utilize only a portion of the net operating loss carry forwards during the year 2002. Therefore, the Company has established a valuation allowance for the remaining net operating loss carry forwards. The Company realized as a tax benefit in the year 2001 only that amount applicable to the net operating loss carry forwards that were utilized in the year 2001. The valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2001, decreased by approximately $61,000. The net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through the year 2019. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows at December 31 (in thousands): 2001 2000 ---- ---- Deferred tax asset: Marketable securities, receivables and Liabilities $ 57 $ - Property and equipment and investments - 256 Loss carry forward 1,666 3,553 Less: valuation allowance (1,281) (1,342) ----- ----- $ 442 $2,467 ===== ===== Deferred tax liability: Property and equipment and investments $ 695 $ - Marketable securities - 2,467 ----- ----- $ 695 $ 2,467 ===== ===== F-33 11.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company operated in one industry segment: acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil and gas reserves, including investments in the equity securities of other public companies involved in similar activities. The oil and gas production segment would be the typical "upstream" activities of an energy company, consisting of the production and sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids.

The distribution of refined petroleum products segment would be the typical "downstream" activities of an energy company, excluding refining. The Company sells diesel, gas, propane, lubricants, antifreeze and other refined products. Senior management evaluates and makes operating decisions about each of these operating segments based on a number of factors. The most significant factors used by management in evaluating the operating performance are net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative, and depletion, depreciation and amortization.

The Company's carrying value of $140,000 for this investment at December 31, 2001, reflected the proceeds which the Company received from the sale. In February 2002, the Company signed a Letter of Intent for the sale of its 61% equity interest in RMP. The sales price of $2.7 million will be paid in $850,000 cash and $1.9 million of 12.5% preferred membership interests, redeemable in five years. In addition, RMP will assume certain long-term indebtedness of the Company, which, at December 31, 2001, amounted to $648,000. Closing of the sale is scheduled to take place on or before April 19, 2002. Included in the Company's long-term debt are promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1.7 million which matured for payment in June and September 2001, and were not paid. The Company has been in discussion with the lenders and, in March 2002, the Company and the lenders executed a funding and loan repayment agreement ("agreement"). The agreement provides for an additional borrowing in the amount of $450,000, less a holdback in the amount of $160,000 to immediately repay one of the outstanding loans. The new loan, in the amount of $2.0 million, will bear interest at the rate of 12%, and is to be repaid at the rate of $50,000 per month, including principal and interest. F-41 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES (UNAUDITED) Independent engineers prepared reserve estimates. Management cautions that there are many inherent uncertainties in estimating proved reserve quantities and related revenues and expenses, and in projecting future production rates and the timing and amount of development expenditures. Accordingly, these estimates will change, as future information becomes available. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN PROVED RESERVES Estimated quantities of proved reserves and proved developed reserves of crude oil and natural gas, the majority of which are located within the United States, as well as changes in proved reserves during the past two years are indicated below: Oil (Bbl) Natural Gas (MCF) --------- ----------------- United States --------------------------------------- Proved reserves at December 31, 1999 887,553 281,871 Acquisition, exploration and development of minerals in place 119,890 245,065 Sales of minerals in place (417,150) -- Production (40,092) (39,482) Revisions of previous estimates 157,872 61,777 ------- ------- Proved reserves at December 31, 2000 708,073 549,231 Acquisition, exploration and development of minerals in place 550,909 2,040,944 Sales of minerals in place (1,531) -- Production (53,828) (57,336) Revisions of previous estimates (2,863) 34,055 --------- --------- Proved reserves at December 31, 2001 1,200,760 2,566,894 ========= ========= Proved developed reserves, December 31, 2001 510,077 476,807 ========= ========= F-42 Oil (Bbl) Natural Gas (MCF) --------- ----------------- Canada ---------------------------------------- Proved reserves at December 31, 1999 -- -- Acquisition, exploration and Development of minerals in place -- 72,753 Production -- (15,440) ------- ------ Proved reserves at December 31, 2000 -- 57,313 Acquisition, exploration and Development of minerals in place -- -- Production -- (9,548) Revisions of previous estimates (47,765) ------- ------ Proved reserves at December 31, 2001 -- -- ======= ====== Proved developed reserves, December 31, 2001 -- -- ======= ====== There are no reserves attributable to partnership or minority interests at December 31, 2001. The Company incurred the following capitalized costs related to oil and gas activities during the year ended December 31, 2001 (in thousands): Producing oil and gas property $ 1,485 Undeveloped oil and gas property 144 ----- $ 1,629 ===== OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS Depletion, depreciation and amortization per equivalent unit of production for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $5.19 and $7.12, respectively. Costs incurred by the Company during the year 2001 for acquisition, exploration and development activities are as follows (in thousands): Acquisition of producing properties $ 387 Exploration and development 1,242 ----- $ 1,629 ===== F-43 STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED NET CASH FLOWS AND CHANGES THEREIN The following information at December 31, 2001, and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, sets forth standardized measures of the discounted future net cash flows attributable to the Company's proved oil and gas reserves. Future cash inflows were computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) and using the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses were computed by applying statutory income tax rates to the difference between pretax net cash flows relating to the Company's proven oil and gas reserves and the tax basis of proved oil and gas properties and available operating loss and excess statutory depletion carryovers reduced by investment tax credits. Discounting the annual net cash flows at 10% illustrates the impact of timing on these future cash flows. The following table presents the standardized measure of discounted net cash flows at December 31, 2001 (in thousands): United States Canada ------------- --------- Future cash inflows $ 26,411 $ -- Future cash outflows: Production costs ( 8,433) -- Development costs ( 3,484) -- ------ ------ Future net cash flows before future income taxes 14,494 -- Future income taxes ( 3,130) -- ------ ------ Future net cash flows 11,364 -- Adjustment to discount future annual net cash flows at 10% ( 5,390) -- ------ ------ Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 5,974 $ -- ====== ======= F-44 The following tables summarize the principal factors comprising the changes in the standardized measures of discounted net cash flows during the years 2001 and 2000 (in thousands): United States Canada --------------- -------- Year 2001 --------- Standardized measure, beginning of period $ 4,933 $ 168 Sales of oil and gas, net of production costs ( 656) ( 10) Net change in sales prices, net of production costs (2,909) ( 239) Changes in estimated future development costs (1,653) -- Purchases of minerals in place 4,595 -- Sales of minerals in place ( 9) -- Revisions of quantity estimates 976 -- Accretion of discount 493 -- Other, including changes in production rates (timing) 427 -- Change in income taxes ( 223) 81 ------ ------ Standardized measure, end of period $ 5,974 $ -- ====== ====== Year 2000 --------- Standardized measure, beginning of period $ 4,622 $ -- Sales of oil and gas, net of production costs ( 740) ( 13) Net change in sales prices, net of production costs 1,346 -- Changes in estimated future development costs ( 414) -- Purchases of minerals in place 2,377 262 Sales of minerals in place (2,067) -- Revisions of quantity estimates 1,180 -- Accretion of discount 462 -- Other, including changes in production rates (timing) ( 29) -- Change in income taxes (1,804) ( 81) ------ ------ Standardized measure, end of period $ 4,933 $ 168 ====== ====== F-45
