PART I
Items 1. and 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
(a) General Development of Business
GNC Energy Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1954. Its
principal executive offices are located at 8235 Douglas Ave., Suite
1201, Dallas, Texas 75225. The term "GNC" or "Company" as used herein
refers to GNC Energy Corporation except as the context may otherwise
indicate.
The Company was engaged in various segments of the energy
industry. In 1987 its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plateau Supply, Inc.,
was sold. Its coal business had not operated since 1985 and was sold
in 1987. This left a small oil and gas producing division.
The Company was incorporated in 1954 under the name of American
Tidelands, Inc. In 1959, American Tidelands, Inc., was merged and
changed its corporate name to Marine Drilling, Inc. The company
changed its name to Great National Corporation in 1964 and in August,
1981, changed its name to GNC Energy Corporation.
Due to the economic conditions in the oil and gas and coal mining
industries, the curtailment of the Company's operations and other
factors, including the disposal of the majority of the Company's
income-producing properties in satisfaction of debt, the Company feels
that it is unable to absorb the expense of an audit at this time.
Therefore, the consolidated financial statements included herein for
the year ended March 31, 2004, are unaudited.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
Financial data for the last three fiscal years with respect to
sales, income (loss) from operations, identifiable assets and capital
expenditures attributable to each business segment appears in Note 6

(c) Narrative Description
Supply and Equipment
The construction, mining and industrial supply business was sold
on February 12, 1987.
Coal Mining
The coal mining subsidiaries were sold on September 30, 1987.
Oil and Gas
The company maintains a small oil and gas production and
exploration effort. The Ohio oil and gas properties were sold in
satisfaction of debt.
Employees
As of March 31, 2004, the Company had no employees.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2004, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$7,262,120 and no long-term obligations.
No new oil and gas wells were drilled in fiscal 2004. There were
no capital expenditures.
The Company does not have sufficient liquid resources to meet the
present judgment creditor claims against the Company.
Results of Operations
Declining demand seriously impacted the supply business in 1987,
resulting in a sale of the division. Plateau Supply Company filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act. No recovery
was made on the $3,479,580 note receivable resulting from the sale of
that company.
Coal mining operations ceased in 1985 and were sold in September
1987.
The remaining oil and gas properties were not profitable.

this report (page 11).
Item 9. DISAGREEMENTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
An attempt was made to update and correctly record the Company's
assets and liabilities during the fiscal year ended 3-31-91. This
accounts for the extraordinary income and other changes to Retained
Earnings that year.

GNC ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
(UNAUDITED)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of GNC Energy
Corporation (Company) is presented to assist in understanding the
Company's financial statements. The financial statements and
notes are representations of the Company's management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GNC
Energy Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial
statements.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost and includes
expenditures for new facilities and those which substantially
increase the useful lives of existing property, plant and
equipment. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed
as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed
of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from
the respective accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is
credited or charged to operations.
The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for its
oil and gas operations. Under the full-cost method, all
productive and nonproductive acquisition, exploration, and
development costs are capitalized as incurred. Capitalized costs
required to develop proved undeveloped reserves are amortized by
the unit-of-production method using proved reserves (revenue
method). However, reserves have not been audited currently due
to the expense involved in doing so. Therefore, depletion as
allowed by tax law is used, where applicable.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Income taxes
No provision has been made for income taxes, as the Company has
net operating losses to carry forward, in the amount of
$2,537,817, the last of which is due to expire in 2020 if not
used prior to that time.
2. Inventories
At March 31, 2004, there were no inventories.
3. Notes payable
Notes payable include a secured note due on demand, which is
included in accounts payable. There are no long-term debts.

5. Leases
The final combined hydrocarbon lease, which contained tar sands,

6. Commitments and contingencies
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon
the Company obtaining additional capital or its ability to attain
profitable operations adequate to meet its financial obligations.
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business and do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
7. Profit-sharing plan
The Company's profit-sharing plan ceased with the sale of Plateau
Supply, Inc., in 1987.
8. Transactions with affiliated parties
During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred
overhead allocation fees of approximately $ 10,436 to a
corporation controlled by a major stockholder of the Company for
the use of office space.
Additionally, the Company incurred debt to an entity controlled
by major stockholders for approximately $5,542 during the year
ended March 31, 2004, for working capital advances to the
Company.
During 1985, a director of the Company purchased unregistered,
restricted stock from the Company. 57,000 and 7,000 shares of
the Company's common stock were purchased for $3.50 and $3.00 per
share respectively, with the market value on those dates being
$5.625 and $4.125 per share, respectively.
9. Income taxes
The Company has federal income tax loss carryforwards of
approximately $2,537,817 which will expire through 2020.
10. Gain/Loss per share
Gain/loss per share has been computed by dividing the net
gain/loss for the years ended March 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 5,203,706
shares. Shares issuable in connection with employee stock
options and convertible debt have not been included in the
computation of earnings per share, as their effect is
antidilutive.
