PART 1
Item 1. Business
DOL Resources, Inc. ("Registrant" or "the company") was
incorporated November 6,1973 under the laws of the State of
Wyoming.
The Company buys, leases and sells oil and gas properties.
It also explores and develops these properties usually with
others through joint ventures or farmouts.
The economic success of Registrant depends on its ability to
locate and purchase or lease valuable oil and gas prospects or
mineral deposits. It must further sell or lease these deposits
or prospects to others at a profit or develop the properties
itself in conjunction with others.
To accomplish these goals, Registrant will encounter
competition from major oil companies and independent operators
attempting to acquire prospective oil and gas leases and other
mineral interests.
These sources of competition maybe both large and small
energy oriented companies operating in states in which Registrant
does business. Some of these competitors are major oil and gas
companies with substantial reserves and earnings records. Others
are small independents with varying degrees of stability. Some
not only produce oil and gas but refine and market petroleum
products. Registrant may be in a position of competitive
disadvantage with many of these companies in that they have a
greater source of capital, technical and management talent,
research facilities and sources of information.
Registrant has sold certain coal properties to others
retaining an overriding royalty interest. Although Registrant
had no additional expense in developing these properties in which
a royalty is retained, it also has no control over when-if ever-
these properties are developed.
If coal is discovered under lease in which Registrant owns
an economic interest, the availability of a ready-market for coal
will depend upon numerous factors beyond Registrant's control
including the expense of domestic production and imports of coal,
proximity of transportation and the effect of state and federal
regulations on production of coal.
2
Compliance with statutory requirements respecting
environmental quality may necessitate significant capital outlays
which may materially affect the earning power of the Company, or
may cause material changes in its proposed business. In 1998
Registrant did not expend any funds to comply with environmental
regulations. It does not contemplate spending funds incidental
to its operation in 1999 to comply with environmental
regulations.
Registrant did not participate in the drilling of any wells
in 1998. Registrant had no paid employees.
The business of the Company is seasonal only to the extent
that weather conditions, particularly snow and cold in the
winter, impede the ability of it or others who may be developing
properties in which it has an interest to conduct exploratory
activities or drilling or mining operations.
Registrant is engaged in two lines of business (1) the
exploration for the sales of oil and gas, and (2) investments in
natural resource properties.
The operations pertaining to the exploration of and sales of
oil and gas involve actively participating in drilling for oil
and gas and sale of subsequent production. The investment in
natural resource properties involves buying and selling the right
to explore for or produce the resources from the land owners
property.
The following details Registrant's operations in the
described lines of business:

Item 2 Oil and Gas Properties:
For the following discussion, gross well or acre is a well
or acre in which an interest is owned. The number of gross wells
is the total number of wells in which a working interest is
owned.
A net well or acre is deemed to exist when the sum of
fractional ownership working interests in gross wells to acres
equals one. the number of net wells or acres is the sum of the
fractional working interests owned in gross wells or acres as
expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.

The reserve estimates for all properties were completed by
management. No reserve figures have been filed with or reported
to any other regulatory authorities or agencies. All of the
reserves of Registrant are located entirely in the United States.
Registrant has annual rental obligation from $.24 to $1.00
per acre on all of it's leasehold oil, gas and coal properties on
which there is no production. If these payments are not made
when due, the leases terminate. Additionally, the leases
terminate at the end of this term unless production is obtained
in which case the lease continues as long as production
continues.
Coal Properties: In 1975, Registrant acquired certain coal
properties. These properties were located primarily in the
Powder River Basin portion of the State of Wyoming.
Subsequently, some of these leases were sold and an overriding
royalty retained. No coal leases have been sold since 1977.
Royalty interest as of December 31, 1998 are:
Gross acres - - 2,901
Net acres - - 58
Cost - - 10,156
None of the coal properties described above are producing and
Registrant is attempting to find others to purchase these
properties.
Registrant follows the policy of capitalizing all property
acquisition costs. Such costs are charged to operations through
depletion when production is obtained. At the time of the sale
of a lease where no interest is retained in the property, the
costs of the property is charged to operations at that time. If
at the time of the sale Registrant retains a nonoperating
interest, the carrying value of the property is written down in
an amount representing its estimated realizable value computed on
the basis of geological estimates of proven primary reserves. If
no geological estimates of proven primary reserves are available
on the nonoperating interest retained, the entire cost associated
with the property is charged to operations at the time of the
sale. If Registrant determines that a property is not capable
of profitable development, all nonrecoverable costs applicable to
the property are charged against operations at the time such
determination is made.
Gold Properties: In 1980, Registrant acquired placer gold mining
claims in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County,
California by canceling a promissory note from non-affiliated
entities in the sum of $125,247, principal and accrued interest.
These claims cover approximately 20,800 acres. In 1983, the
Company sold this property for $20,000. DOL retained a royalty
7
interest valued at $10,000. In 1985 the claims were abandoned
and expended.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings:
On November 20, 1979, Phillips Petroleum Company (Phillips)
filed a complaint (Docket No. C1-80-70-000) with Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) against Registrant and other
producers alleging certain producer respondents had abandoned the
sale of natural gas from the Miller Jacobs #1 (the well) to
Phillips without having obtained necessary Commission
authorization under Section 7 (b) of the Natural Gas Act. The
commission ruled in favor of Phillips on April 16, 1985.
Effective December 1, 1985 Registrant's share of the settlement
to be paid from future production from the Well is $160,000
payable out of 30% of gas revenues accruing to its interest for
the period December 1, 1985 through November 30, 1989 and 50% of
gas revenues accruing to its interest in production on and after
December 1, 1989. This situation arose prior to present
management's ownership in Registrant and management has since
entered into an agreement with former management whereby
Registrant is to recover 100% of the amount withheld by Phillips.
There are no other pending legal proceedings to which
Registrant is a party or of which any of its property is subject.

No dividends have been declared in the Company's history.
Wyoming law generally provides that dividends may be declared and
paid only out of the unreserved and unrestricted earned surplus
of the corporation except when the Articles of Incorporation of a
corporation engaged in the business of exploiting natural
resources so provide, dividends may be declared and paid out of
the depletion reserves.
Registrant presently has no unreserved and unrestricted earned
surplus and its Articles of Incorporation do not provide that
dividends may be paid from deletion reserves.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Liquidity
Registrant's recurring monthly average cash flow from the
sale of oil and gas was approximately $5,300.00 per month in
1998. This was down $2,300.00 from year 1997. The average cash
in 1997 was down $900.00 from 1996 at $7,600.00. Working capital
decreased $53,282 primarily in the area of prepaid expenses.
Net cash provided in operating activities for 1998 was a
negative $3,831. A positive cash flow from investing activities
of $8,628 and a negative cash flow from financing activities of
$5,127 offset most of operating leaving a net decrease in cash of
$330 over 1997. There are no plans to seek long-term credit or
equity capital for any project.
If Registrant should experience a major oil or salt water
spill, compliance with statutory requirements respecting
environmental quality could necessitate significant capital
outlays which would materially decrease its liquidity and
profitability.
No funds were expended in 1998 for clean-up compliance and none
is expected in 1999.
Registrant has made no commitments for capital expenditures as
of the end of the fiscal year. However, Registrant intends to
continue to pursue its drilling activities with both joint
ventures and partnerships, and for its own account providing
financing is made available in a sufficient amount to justify
same. Interest in oil and gas drilling activities is presently
at a low level, however, if prices continue their upward trend
10
this could change in the future.
Cash requirements for the fiscal year 1998 averaged
approximately $5,600 per month. This is expected to be about
the same in 1998 provided there are no major repairs or work
overs.
Results of Operations
Losses in revenues over the past three (3) years are
attributable primarily to price declines, normal decline in
production and shutting in of non-economic wells. Management
continues to update existing production of re-working the wells
and continues to reduce recurring expenses when practicable.
1998 vs 1997
Total revenues in 1998 were down approximately $45,500.00
from 1997 due primarily to decreases in the price of oil and
gas.Lease operating expenses decreased approximately $5,000.00.
General administrative expense increased substantially, due to
the write-off of $37,500.00 in prepaid expenses. Profitability
(before depletion and depreciation) decreased approximately
$82,800 in 1998 from 1997.
1997 vs 1996
Total revenues in 1997 were up approximately $11,300.00 over
1996 due primarily to an increase in the oil production. Lease
operating expenses decreased significantly as did total expense
due to the elimination of management fees. Consequently there
was an increase in profitability (before managements fees and
depletion) in 1997 and 1996 of approximately $21,974.
Management expects a slow upward trend in oil and gas prices to
continue toward $20.00 per Bbl. This would not only increase
revenues and cash flow but would enhance our ability to raise
much needed funds for drilling additional wells. It is the
opinion of management that a minimum of $25.00 per Bbl. oil is
need in order to expand operations and replace depleted reserves.
Meanwhile a continuing effort is being made to increase the
production, and consequently revenues by seeking out and
negotiating joint-venture recompletion projects where positive
reserve information exists.
At the year-end there was nothing specific to indicate a
material change in income and expenses over the next twelve (12)
months.
During 1994, an $100,000 payable to an affiliate was
converted to equity by the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common
stock. Relative to the restructuring of long-term debt, a
collateral fee of $37,500 was paid to an affiliate by the
issuance of 750,000 shares of common stock. Restructuring of
debt was finalized in 1995. The collateral fee was expenses in
1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Operations
The Company was organized on November 1, 1983 under the
laws of the State of Wyoming. Its primary activities
have been the acquisition of interests in various oil
and gas properties, coal properties (Note 9) and
exploration for oil and gas.
Allowance for bad debts
Accounts receivable from participants in oil and gas
exploration are estimated to be at least 93%
collectible, consequently a 7% allowance for bad debts
has been established against those receivables.
Receivables from the sale of oil and gas are fully
collectible, since accruals are based primarily on
collection of oil and gas sales subsequent to year-end.
Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for
oil and gas acquisition, exploration and development
costs. The Company has operations only within the
continental United States and consequently has only one
cost center.
All costs associated with property acquisition,
exploration and development activities are capitalized
within the cost center. No costs related to production,
general corporate overhead or similar activities are
capitalized.
Capitalized costs within the cost center are amortized
on the units-of-production basis using proved oil and
gas reserves. The carrying value of capitalized cost
is limited to the sum of (A) the present value of
future net revenues from estimated production of proved
oil and gas reserves, plus (B) the cost of properties
note being amortized, plus (C) the lower of cost or
estimated fair value of unproved properties included in
the costs being amortized less (D) income tax effects
related to differences between book and tax basis of the
properties involved. For the year ended December 31,
1985, total capitalized costs exceeded the cost
center ceiling by $137,083. The excess was expensed in
1985 operations.

DOL RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Properties: (Con't).
Sales and abandonments of oil and gas properties are
accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs,
with no gain or loss recognized.
Drilling in progress is included in the cost center
with depletion being calculated on all costs within the
cost center.
Furniture and Fixtures
Deprecation is computed by the straight-in line method
on the cost of the automobiles and furniture and
fixtures at rates based on their estimated service
lives.
Estimated lives in use are as follows:
Furniture and
Fixtures 5 - 12 years
During the year ended 12-31-87, all furniture and
fixtures were sold. Additional furniture and fixtures
were acquired from an affiliate during 1988 as payment
on accounts receivable.
Earnings per common share
Earnings per common share were computed by dividing the
net loss by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year.
NOTE 2. Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are valued at the lower of cost
of value.

This resulted in a consolidated refinancing with a
local financial institution. The new note includes
accrued interest and approximately $100,000. of debt
assumed from the parent corporation thus increasing the
inter-company receivable by approximately $100,000.00.

NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions
As reported in our registrant's 10-Q for the quarter
ended 30, 1984, Featherstone Development Corporation
owned 3,245,099 shares, Featherstone Farms, Ltd., owned
609,058 shares, and Olen F. Featherstone II owned
654,097 shares of DOL Resources, Inc. common stock
from January 1, 1982 to April 16, 1984. The
Featherstone group had a total of 4,508,254 shares of
common stock representing approximately 31.9% of the total
outstanding common stock of DOL Resources, Inc. at
December 31, 1983. On April 16, 1984 all of their
restricted shares in DOL Resources, Inc. were exchanged
for restricted shares in Petro Imperial Corporation of
Dallas, Texas, a Utah Corporation controlled by
Commercial Technology, Inc. Petro Imperial Corporation
purchased an additional 500,000 shares of DOL
Resources, Inc. common stock also on that date.
The Company acquired by assignment from Petro Imperial
Corp. in 1987 accounts receivable of $100,000 from
Comtec Superior Management Co. and $139,719 from
Comtec Glauber Management Co. as contributed capital.
Both are affiliated companies. This was reversed in
1991. The Company also had accounts receivable from
RCT Petro, Ltd. of $7,414 in 1990. This was written
off as uncollectible in 1991. The Company ended 1998
with an account receivable from Glauber Management Co.
(The parent corporation) of $344,615.
A long-term payable if $100,148 was created to an
affiliate during 1989 when a bank that was holding, as
collateral, a Certificate of Deposit belonging
to the Affiliate applied the proceeds of the C.D.
to accrued interest and a principal payment on one
of the company's matured notes.
In 1994 5,000,000 shares of stock were issued to the
affiliate in payment of the $100,148. ($.02 per
share).

NOTE 6. Income Taxes
The Company as of December 31, 1998 has a net operating
loss carryover for income tax purposes of approximately
$740,000. The carryover is available to offset
taxable income of future years and expires as follows:
1998 241,000
1999 14,000
2000 109,000
2001 40,000
2002 48,000
2003 3,000
2004 34,000
2007 14,000
2008 19,000
2009 1,000
2011 217,000
740,000
The Company also had approximately $1,300 of investment
tax credits available for carryover against future
federal income tax liabilities.
For financial reporting purposes, the net operating
loss has been used to offset prior deferred income
taxes. To the extent that the net operating loss
carryovers are utilized for income tax purposes in
future years, the deferred income taxes eliminated
to give recognition to the carryovers as well as
credits related to timing difference of the current
year not recorded will be reinstated.
Because of timing differences related principally
to intangible drilling costs, cumulative losses for]
income tax reporting purposes exceed those reported
by approximately $554,000. Because of the uncertainty
as to realization, no future tax benefits are
recognized at December 31, 1998.

NOTE 8. Major Customers:
The company had sales of oil and gas to two primary
customers (purchasers of over 10% of product) in
1998. These sales were in the amount of $7,565 and
$11,275 respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the company
had sales of oil and gas of $26,971 and $24,531 to
three major purchasers, and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 $16,636 and $27,433 to three
major purchasers.
NOTE 9. Undeveloped Coal Royalties:
The undeveloped coal royalties were received in
exchange of stock in the company from Discovery Oil,
Ltd. (at the time the parent company of DOL Resources,
Inc. ) in related party transaction in prior years.
These coal royalties cover approximately 2,901 gross
acres and 58 net acres at the end of 1998 and 1997.
There were no coal lease expiration in 1998 and 1997.
Development is not under control of the company.
NOTE 10. Undeveloped Gold Properties
The undeveloped gold properties, which were obtained
on March 1, 1980 through foreclosure of a note by a
placer gold mining claim in California, were sold
for $20,000 during 1983 and $10,000 overriding
royalty interest was retained by DOL Resources, Inc.
In 1985, the pacer gold mining claim project was
abandoned. The remaining cost was expensed during
1985.
NOTE 11. Supplementary information as to Oil and Gas Producing
Activities (Unaudited)
Supplementary disclosures for oil and gas producing
activities in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard No. 69 set forth below.
The following table represents the Company's estimate
of its proved oil and gas reserves at December 31,
1998. The company emphasized that reserve estimates
are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, the estimates
are expected to change as future information becomes
available. These estimates, as they relate to
December 31, 1998 information, have been prepared by
Company personnel.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 11. Supplementary Information to Oil and Gas Producing
Activities (Unaudited) (continued)
Proved developed reserves at December 31, 1998 were
16,048 barrels. Proved undeveloped reserves of
23,970 bbls. are estimated at December 31, 1998.
Gas reserves are included in the estimated barrels at
6 MCF per barrel.
Disclosure of the standardized measure of discount
future net cash flows for the year ending 12-31-98,
12-31-97, and 12-31-96 have not been included in
this note due to the following:
(1) Future gas flows are based on year and prices
with changes in pricing considered only to the
extend of contractual arrangements existing at
year-end. Due to the significant fluxuation in
oil and gas prices during 1998 future cash
inflows based on year-end prices would be
inaccurate and would result in a material
misstatement.
(2) Future development costs and production costs
based on year-end cost and assuming continuation
of continuing economic conditions would also
result in a misstatement due to the price decline.
(3) Future income tax expense, if any, would be
difficult to determine due to large net operating
losses incurred for both financial reporting and
tax purposes.

NOTE 12. Legal Proceedings:
On November 20, 1979, Phillips Petroleum Company
filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Docket No. C180-70--00) against DOL
Resources, Inc. and other producers alleging that
certain producer respondents abandoned the sales of
natural gas to Phillips without first obtaining
necessary Commission authorization under Section 7(b)
of the Natural Gas Act. The Commission ruled in favor
of Phillips on April 16, 1985. Effective December 1,
1985, DOL's share of the settlement to be paid from
future production from the Miller-Jacobs #1 well is as
follows:
$160,000 payable out of 30% of gas reserves accruing
to its interest in production for the period
December 1, 1985 through November 30, 1989, and
payable out of 50% of gas revenues accruing to its
interest in production on or after December 1, 1989.
The situation arose prior to present management's
association with DOL Resources, Inc. DOL has since
entered into an agreement with past management and will
recover the entire amount on the basis of the amounts'
of production withheld by Phillips.
