ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
December 31, 1999
NOTE 1 -- NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. ("the Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership that was formed May 6, 1999, by subsidiaries of Resource America,
Inc. ("RAI"), to acquire the gathering operations of RAI and to sell limited
partnership units. These gathering operations operate 888 miles of gas gathering
pipelines located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. RAI is a publicly traded
company (trading under the symbol REXI on the NASDAQ system) operating in the
real estate finance, leasing, and energy sectors. The Partnership is a
development stage company and has not commenced significant operations.
NOTE 2 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In January 2000, Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. completed its initial
public offering of 1.5 million of its common units at a price of $13 per unit
and subsequently acquired the gathering operations of RAI.

ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Following are the unaudited pro forma financial statements of Atlas
Pipeline Partners, L.P. ("Atlas Pipeline"), as of December 31, 1999 and for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet
assumes that the registrant's initial public offering and the acquisition of the
natural gas pipeline gathering systems occurred as of December 31, 1999, and the
statements of operations assume the offering and transaction occurred January 1,
1998. The transaction adjustments are presented in the notes to the unaudited
pro forma financial statements. The unaudited pro forma financial statements and
accompanying notes should be read together with the Financial Statements and
related notes included elsewhere.
Atlas Pipeline accounted for the acquisition of the gathering systems
in the unaudited pro forma financial statements as a "drop-down" transaction in
accordance with the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Statement No. 87-21,
"Changing Accounting Basis in Master Limited Partnership Transactions." Based on
such guidance, the assets acquired from the gathering operations of Resource
America, Inc. and The Atlas Group, Inc. were recorded at historical cost.
The pro forma balance sheet and the pro forma statements of operations
are unaudited and were derived by adjusting the historical financial statements
of the gathering operations of Resource America, Inc. ("RAI") and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Atlas Group, Inc., and Viking Resources
Corporation. Atlas Pipeline is a newly formed limited partnership which acquired
the net assets related to the gathering operations of RAI and its
above-mentioned Subsidiaries in January 2000. Atlas Pipeline is providing
unaudited pro forma financial statements for informational purposes only. They
should not be construed as indicative of Atlas Pipeline's financial position or
results of operations had the transactions been consummated on the dates
assumed. Moreover, they do not project Atlas Pipeline's financial position or
results of operations for any future date or period.

ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The accompanying pro forma financial statements include the gathering
operations pipeline assets, liabilities, equity and operations of Atlas America,
Inc., Viking Resources Corporation ("VRC"), and Resource Energy, Inc.,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Resource America, Inc. These gathering operations
operate gas gathering pipelines located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.
Resource America is a publicly traded company (trading under the symbol REXI on
the NASDAQ system) operating in the real estate finance, leasing, and energy
sectors.
On September 29, 1998, Resource America acquired all of the common
stock of Atlas America, formerly The Atlas Group, Inc., in exchange for
2,063,496 shares of Resource America's common stock and the assumption of Atlas
America's debt. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the results of the gas gathering operations of
Atlas America are included in these pro forma financial statements commencing
January 1, 1998. The purchase price has been allocated to gathering assets
acquired and related liabilities assumed based on the fair market value at the
date of acquisition. The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 includes the historical results for Atlas gathering operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The three months of
post-acquisition operations is included in the Resource America gathering
operations results.
On August 31, 1999, Resource America acquired all of the common stock
of VRC in exchange for 1,243,684 shares of Resource America's common stock,
$29.0 million in cash and the assumption of VRC debt. The acquisition was
recorded under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results
of the gas gathering and transportation operations of VRC are included in these
financial statements commencing January 1, 1998. The purchase price has been
allocated to pipeline assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair
market value at the date of acquisition. The pro forma statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes the historical results for Viking
Resources gathering operations for the eight months ended August 31, 1999. The
four months of post-acquisition operations is included in the Resource America
gathering operations results.
The pro forma and offering adjustments have been prepared as if the
acquisition of the gathering systems had taken place on December 31, 1999, in
the case of the pro forma balance sheet, or as of January 1, 1998 in the case of
the pro forma income statement for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
A. Reflects the estimated net proceeds to the Partnership of $17.4
million from the issuance and sale of 1.5 million common units at
an initial public offering price of $13.00 per common unit, net of
underwriters' discounts and commissions of approximately $1.4
million and offering expenses of approximately $750,000. Upon
completion of the offering, Atlas Pipeline will have $750,000 of
working capital.
B. Reflects the transaction by which Atlas Pipeline will obtain
ownership of the assets of Resource America gathering operations
at net book value in exchange for cash of $2.8 million, the
assumption of $13.0 million in debt, a $874,000 payment to two
affiliated partnerships from whom a portion of the gathering
systems will be acquired and 1,641,026 subordinated units. As this
transaction is between entities under common control, it has been
recorded at historical net book value of $15.8 million, with the
incremental amount of $876,000 recorded as a reduction in
partners' equity relating to the subordinated units.
C. Reflects the pro forma revenues from the master natural gas
gathering agreement effective upon consummation of the offering
pursuant to which Atlas Pipeline will transport natural gas
production. Pro forma revenues from such agreements were
calculated based on Resource America Gathering Operations
historical natural gas production volumes.
D. Reflects the elimination of historical interest expense paid to
Resource America as such loans will not be assumed.
E. Reflects the elimination of historical depreciation and
amortization expense.
F. Reflects pro forma depreciation expense based on the fair value
assigned to the assets in allocating the purchase price paid by
Resource America for The Atlas Group, Inc. and an assessment of
the remaining useful lives of those assets at the date of
acquisition.
G. Reflects the elimination of the historical income tax provision as
income taxes will be borne by the partners and not Atlas Pipeline.
12
ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (Continued)
Pro Forma Net Income Per Unit
Pro forma net income per unit is determined by dividing the pro forma
net income that would have been allocated to the common and subordinated
unitholders, which is 98% of pro forma net income, by the number of common and
subordinated units expected to be outstanding at the closing of the offering.
For purposes of this calculation, the minimum quarterly cash distribution was
assumed to have been paid to both common and subordinated unitholders and the
number of common and subordinated units outstanding, 3,205,129, was assumed to
have been outstanding the entire period. Pursuant to the partnership agreement,
to the extent that the minimum quarterly distribution is exceeded, the general
partner is entitled to certain incentive distributions which will result in less
income proportionately being allocated to the common and subordinated
unitholders. Basic and diluted pro forma net income per common and subordinated
units are equal as there are no dilutive units.
Distribution of Cash Upon Liquidation
Following the beginning of Atlas Pipeline's dissolution and
liquidation, assets will be sold or otherwise disposed of and the partners'
capital account balances will be adjusted to reflect any resulting gain or loss.
The proceeds of liquidation will first be applied to the payment of its
creditors in the order of priority provided in the partnership agreement and by
law. After that, the proceeds will be distributed to the unitholders and the
general partner in accordance with their capital account balances, as so
adjusted.

RESOURCE AMERICA, INC. GATHERING OPERATIONS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying combined financial statements include the pipeline
assets, liabilities, equity, and operations of the wholly owned subsidiaries of
AIC, Inc. ("AIC") and the pipeline operating divisions of Resource Energy, Inc.
("REI") and Viking Resources Corporation ("VRC"). These entities operate 888
miles of gas gathering pipelines located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. AIC
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas America, Inc. ("ATLAS"). REI, ATLAS, and
VRC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Resource America, Inc. ("RAI"). AIC and REI
and VRC will be referred to as Gathering Operations. RAI is a publicly traded
company (trading under the symbol REXI on the NASDAQ system) operating in the
real estate finance, leasing, and energy sectors.
In January 2000, RAI sold the net assets of the Gathering Operations to
Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., a newly formed limited partnership, in connection
with its initial public offering of limited partnership units. See Note 5.
On September 29, 1998, RAI acquired all of the common stock of ATLAS,
formerly The Atlas Group, Inc., in exchange for 2,063,496 shares of RAI's common
stock and the assumption of ATLAS debt. The acquisition was recorded under the
purchase method of accounting and accordingly the results of the gas gathering
and transportation operations of ATLAS are included in these financial
statements commencing September 30, 1998. The purchase price has been allocated
to pipeline assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market
value at the date of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma information is presented to show the
effect on revenue and net income had the acquisition been consummated on January
1, 1998:

On August 31, 1999, RAI acquired all of the common stock of VRC in
exchange for 1,243,684 shares of RAI's common stock, $29.0 million in cash and
the assumption of VRC debt. The acquisition was recorded under the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of the gas gathering and
transportation operations of VRC are included in these financial statements
commencing September 1, 1999. The purchase price has been allocated to pipeline
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value at the
date of acquisition.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statement follows.
21
RESOURCE AMERICA, INC. GATHERING OPERATIONS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 these estimates.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to
relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service
lives. Gas gathering and transmission facilities are depreciated over 15 or 25
years using the double declining balance and straight-line methods. Other
equipment is depreciated over 5 to 10 years using the straight-line methods.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Gathering Operations reviews its long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset's estimated future
cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment
charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its
estimated fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill is associated with the purchase of the pipeline assets of
Atlas and is being amortized over a period of 30 years, using the straight line
method.
Federal Income Taxes
The Gathering Operations are included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of RAI. Income taxes are calculated as if the Gathering
Operations had filed a return on a separate company basis utilizing a statutory
rate of 34%. Deferred taxes represent deferred tax assets or liabilities which
are recognized based on the temporary differences between the tax basis of the
Gathering Operations assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the
financial statements. These amounts are owed to RAI and are included in Advances
from Parent. Separate company state tax returns are filed in those states in
which subsidiaries and divisions of Atlas, REI, and VRC are registered to do
business.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized at the time the natural gas is transmitted
through the pipelines.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents, receivable and payables, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
Accounts Receivable - Affiliates
The Gathering Operations are affiliated with other companies which are
subsidiaries of AIC and limited partnerships controlled by AIC, REI, and VRC.
The Gathering Operations are dependent upon the resources and services provided
by AIC, REI, VRC and these affiliates. Accounts receivable represent the net
balance due from these affiliates and includes reimbursements of Gathering
Operations expenses to be reimbursed, which have been paid by these affiliates.

Expense Allocation
RAI allocated certain direct and indirect general and administrative
expenses to the Gathering Operations during each of the years presented.
Indirect costs were allocated based on the number of employees. The types of
indirect expenses allocated to the Gathering Operations during this period
consisted of salaries and benefits, legal, office rent, utilities, telephone
services, data processing services, and office supplies. Management believes
that the method used to allocate these expenses is reasonable.
New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1999, the Gathering Operations became subject to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130. (SFAS 130).
SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires disclosure of comprehensive
income and its components. Comprehensive income includes net income and all
other changes in equity of a business during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. These changes, other than
net income, are referred to as "other comprehensive income". The Gathering
Operations have no material elements of comprehensive income, other than net
income to report.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging". SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated
balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS 133 effective October 1, 2000. The effect of adopting
SFAS 133 on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows will be dependent on the extent of future hedging activities and
fluctuations in interest rates.
NOTE 3 -- INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 2, the Gathering Operations results are included
in RAI's consolidated federal income tax return. The amounts presented below
were calculated as if the Gathering Operations filed a separate federal income
tax return. The provision for income taxes for each period consists of the
following:

RAI records current and deferred tax assets and liabilities on its
books and the Gathering Operations allocation was settled through increases or
decreases to Advances from parent. At December 31, 1999 the Gathering Operations
deferred tax asset, related to depreciation of property and equipment, would
have approximated $1.6 million. At December 31, 1998 the deferred tax asset
would have approximated $1.3 million.

facilities to Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., a newly formed limited partnership.
In connection therewith, in January 2000, Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P.
completed its initial public offering of 1.5 million limited partnership common
units at $13.00 per unit. As a result, RAI no longer has gathering operations.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997, AND 1996
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying financial statements include the pipeline assets,
equity, and operations of Viking Resources Corporation ("VRC"). VRC operates gas
gathering pipelines and related equipment located in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
VRC's pipeline operations are referred to as Viking Gathering Operations. Viking
Gathering Operations is a division of VRC and has no separate legal status.
On August 31, 1999, Resource America, Inc. ("RAI") acquired all of the
common stock of VRC (see Note 5).
RAI intends to sell the net assets of its Gathering Operations and the
Viking Gathering Operations to Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., a newly formed
limited partnership, in connection with its initial public offering of limited
partnership units.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations
for the interim periods included herein have been made.
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statement follows.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 these estimates.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to
relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service
lives. Gas gathering and transmission facilities are depreciated over five or
twenty two years using the straight-line method. Other equipment is depreciated
over five years using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Viking Gathering Operations reviews its long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset's estimated
future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an
impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset
to its estimated fair value.
Federal Income Taxes
Viking Gathering Operations is included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of VRC. Federal income taxes have been provided as if Viking
Gathering Operations had filed a return on a separate company basis utilizing a
statutory rate of 34%. Deferred income taxes represent deferred tax assets or
liabilities which are recognized based on the temporary differences between the
tax basis of Viking Gathering Operations assets and liabilities and the amounts
reported in the financial statements. These amounts are owed to/due from VRC and
are included in Advances from Viking Resources Corporation in the accompanying
balance sheet. Separate company state tax returns are filed in those states in
which VRC is registered to do business.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized at the time the natural gas is transmitted
through the pipelines.
Revenue and Accounts Receivable-Affiliates
Viking Gathering Operations is affiliated with various limited
partnerships managed by VRC. Viking Gathering Operations derives substantially
all of its revenue from VRC and its affiliated limited partnerships and is
dependent upon the resources and services provided by VRC. Accounts
Receivable--Affiliates represents the net balance due from VRC and the limited
partnerships managed by VRC and includes transportation fees and reimbursements
of Viking Gathering Operations expenses such as compression and maintenance
costs. The outstanding receivable balance does not bear interest.
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable approximate fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash Flow Statements
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to
be cash equivalents.
For the eight months ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 and the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the cash paid by the Gathering Operations for
income taxes equals the provision for income taxes, which is included in the
intercompany liability.
Expense Allocation
VRC allocated certain direct and indirect general and administrative
expenses to Viking Gathering Operations during the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 and the eight months ended August 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Indirect costs were allocated based on the number of employees.
The types of indirect expenses allocated to Viking Gathering Operations during
this period consisted of salaries and benefits, legal, office rent, utilities,
telephone services, data processing services, and office supplies.
The allocation of these costs for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996 and for the eight months ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 amounted
to $17,200, $14,100 and $14,800 and $18,500 and $15,500, respectively.
Management believes that the method used to allocate these expenses is
reasonable. However, the above amounts are not necessarily indicative of the
level of expenses that might have been incurred had Viking Gathering Operations
been operating as a stand-alone entity.
Advances from Viking Resources Corporation
The advances from VRC represent the cumulative net amount of
investments and all other transactions between Viking Gathering Operations and
VRC. The account does not bear interest and had an average balance of $626,000
in 1998 and $184,000 in 1997.

New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1999, Viking Gathering Operations became subject to
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130. SFAS
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires disclosure of comprehensive
income and its components. Comprehensive income includes net income and all
other changes in equity of a business during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. These changes, other than
net income, are referred to as "other comprehensive income". Viking Gathering
Operations has no material elements of comprehensive income, other than net
income, to report.
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging." SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in its balance sheet
and to measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is required to adopt
SFAS 133 effective October 1, 2000. The effect of adopting SFAS 133 on the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be
dependent on the extent of future hedging activities and fluctuations in
interest rates.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 2, the results of operations of Viking Gathering
Operations are included in VRC's consolidated federal income tax return. The
amounts presented below were calculated as if Viking Gathering Operations filed
a separate federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes for each
period consists of the following:

VRC records current and deferred tax assets and liabilities on its
books and Viking Gathering Operations allocation was settled through increases
or decreases in the advances from Viking Resources Corporation. At December 31,
1998 and 1997 Viking Gathering Operations would have recorded a deferred tax
liability of approximately $7,000 and a deferred tax asset of approximately
$2,000, respectively, related primarily to depreciation of property and
equipment.

THE ATLAS GROUP, INC. GATHERING OPERATIONS (see Note 1)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying combined financial statements include the pipeline
assets, liabilities, equity, and operations of the wholly owned subsidiaries of
AIC, Inc. ("AIC") which is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Atlas Group, Inc.
("AGI"). These entities operate approximately 650 miles of gas gathering
pipelines located in Pennsylvania and Ohio. AGI will be referred to as Gathering
Operations. On September 29, 1998, RAI acquired all of the common stock of AGI
in exchange for 2,063,496 shares of RAI's common stock and the assumption of AGI
debt. RAI is a publicly traded company (trading under the symbol REXI on the
NASDAQ system) operating in the real estate finance, leasing, and energy
sectors. After the acquisition, AGI was merged into Atlas America, Inc.
("ATLAS"), a newly formed subsidiary of RAI formed in June 1998 to acquire AGI.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying combined financial statements follows.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 these estimates.
Property and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to
relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service
lives. Gas gathering and transmission facilities are depreciated over 15 or 25
years using the double declining balance method. Other equipment is depreciated
over 10 years using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Gathering Operations reviews its long-lived assets for impairment
whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset's estimated future
cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment
charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its
estimated fair value.
Federal Income Taxes
Gathering Operations was included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of AGI. Income taxes are calculated as if the Gathering Operations
had filed a return on a separate company basis utilizing a statutory rate of
34%. Deferred taxes represent deferred tax assets or liabilities which are
recognized based on the temporary differences between the tax basis of the
Gathering Operations assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the
financial statements. These amounts are owed to AGI and are included in advances
from parent. Separate company state tax returns are filed in those states in
which subsidiaries and divisions of AGI are registered to do business.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized at the time the natural gas is transmitted
through the pipelines.

THE ATLAS GROUP, INC. GATHERING OPERATIONS (see Note 1)
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents, receivable and payables, the carrying amounts
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. For
long-term debt, the fair value approximates historically recorded cost, since
interest rates approximate market.
Accounts Receivable - Affiliates
Gathering Operations is an affiliate to other companies which are
subsidiaries of AGI. Gathering Operations is dependent upon the resources and
services provided by AGI. Accounts receivable represent the net balance due from
these affiliates and include reimbursements of Gathering Operations expenses
due from these affiliates.
Cash Flow Statements
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Gathering Operations
consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
Information for the nine months ended September 29, 1998 and the year
ended December 31, 1997 is as follows:
Nine Months Ended Year Ended
September 29, December 31,
--------------------- -------------
1998 1997
--------------------- -------------
Cash Paid for:
Interest.............................................. $ 276,000 $ 435,000
============== =============
Income taxes.......................................... $ 0 $ 67,000
============== =============
Expense Allocation
AGI allocated certain direct and indirect general and administrative
expenses to the Gathering Operations during the year ended December 31, 1997 and
the nine months ended September 29, 1998, respectively. Indirect costs were
allocated based on the number of employees. The types of indirect expenses
allocated to the Gathering Operations during this period consisted of salaries
and benefits, legal, office rent, utilities, telephone services, data processing
services, and office supplies. Management believes that the method used to
allocate these expenses is reasonable.
New Accounting Standards
Effective October 1, 1998, the Gathering Operations became subject to
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS
130). SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires disclosure of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes net
income and all other changes in equity of a business during a period from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. These
changes, other than net income, are referred to as "other comprehensive income".
The Gathering Operations has no material elements of comprehensive income, other
than net income to report.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging. SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated
balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS 133 effective October 1, 2000. The effect of adopting
SFAS 133 on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows will be dependent on the extent of future hedging activities and
fluctuations in interest rates.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 2, the Gathering Operations results are included
in AGI's consolidated federal income tax return. The amounts presented below
were calculated as if the Gathering Operations filed a separate federal income
tax return. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for each period consists of
the following:
Nine Months Ended Year Ended
September 29, December 31,
----------------------- -------------
1998 1997
----------------------- -------------
Federal........................................................... $ (7,000) $ 86,000
State and local................................................... (1,000) 15,000
------------- -------------
$ (8,000) $ 101,000
============= =============
AGI records current and deferred tax assets and liabilities on its
books and the Gathering Operations allocation was settled through increases or
decreases to Advances from Parent. At September 29, 1998, the Gathering
Operations deferred tax asset, related to depreciation of property and
equipment, would have approximated $492,000.
NOTE 4 - COMBINED EQUITY
The following is a reconciliation of the combined equity balance of the
Gathering Operations:

ATLAS AMERICA, INC.
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Resource America, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Atlas America, Inc. and subsidiaries ("ATLAS" or the "Company") are
energy finance and production companies, engaged in the syndication, exploration
for and development, production and transportation of natural gas and oil
primarily in the Appalachian Basin Area. In addition, the Company performs
contract drilling and well operation services. ATLAS was incorporated in
Pennsylvania in June 1998 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America,
Inc. ("RAI" or "Parent") which is a publicly traded company (trading under the
symbol REXI on the NASDAQ system) operating in the real estate finance, leasing
and energy business sectors.
On September 29, 1998, ATLAS acquired all the common stock of The Atlas
Group, Inc., in exchange for 2,063,496 shares of RAI common stock worth
approximately $29.5 million and the assumption of debt. The acquisition was
recorded under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the purchase
price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
fair market values, at the date of acquisition, as summarized below (in
thousands):
Fair value of assets acquired...................... $ 71,951
Liabilities assumed................................ (43,284)
Amounts due seller................................. (9,191)
Common stock issued................................ (29,534)
-----------
$ (10,058)
-----------
Net cash acquired above includes $827,000 of cash of the business unit
held for disposition (see Note 8) which is included in net assets held for sale
on the consolidated balance sheet.
ATLAS is the successor company to The Atlas Group, Inc. However, its
consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 1999 and 1998 and its
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 1999 are
not comparable with the historical statements of The Atlas Group, Inc. due to
the revaluation based upon the purchase price allocation, of the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed.
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its pro rata share of the assets,
liabilities, income, and expenses of the partnerships in which the Company has
an interest. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 these estimates.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (Continued)
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting.
Accordingly, property acquisition costs, costs of successful exploratory wells,
all development costs, and the cost of support equipment and facilities are
capitalized. Costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed when such
wells are determined to be nonproductive. The costs associated with drilling and
equipping wells not yet completed are capitalized uncompleted wells, equipment
and facilities. Geological and geophysical costs and the costs of carrying and
retaining undeveloped properties, including delay rentals, are expensed.
Production costs, overhead, and all exploration costs other than costs of
exploratory drilling are charged to expense as incurred.
Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether
there has been a decline in value and, if such decline is indicated, a loss will
be recognized. The Company compares the carrying value of its oil and gas
producing properties to the estimated future cash flow, net of applicable income
taxes, from such properties in order to determine whether their carrying values
should be reduced. No adjustment was necessary at September 30, 1999.
On an annual basis, the Company estimates the costs of future
dismantlement, restoration, reclamation, and abandonment of its gas and oil
producing properties. Additionally, the Company evaluates the estimated salvage
value of equipment recoverable upon abandonment. At September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the Company's evaluation of equipment salvage values was greater than or equal
to the estimated costs of future dismantlement, restoration, reclamation and
abandonment.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Proved developed oil and gas properties, which include intangible
drilling and development costs, tangible well equipment and leasehold costs, are
amortized on the unit-of-production method using the ratio of current production
to the estimated aggregate proved developed oil and gas reserves.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, is
stated at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition of The Atlas
Group, Inc. while subsequent additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful
lives once the asset is put into productive use:
Building........................................... 39 years
Gas gathering and transmission facilities.......... 20 years
Other equipment.................................... 3 - 7 years
Long-Lived Assets
Contract rights and other intangibles consist of contracts purchased to
operate wells and manage limited partnerships and the ongoing partnership
syndication business. Operating and management contracts are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lives of the respective partnerships (up to 13
years) while the syndication rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over
30 years.
Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired and is amortized by the straight-line method over 30 years. The Company
evaluates both contract rights and goodwill periodically to determine potential
impairment by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future
cash flows of the related assets.

ATLAS AMERICA, INC.
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Resource America, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company sells interests in oil and gas wells and retains therefrom
a working interest and/or overriding royalty in the producing wells. The income
from the working interests is recorded when the natural gas and oil are
produced.
The Company also contracts to drill oil and gas wells. The income from
these contracts is recorded upon substantial completion of the well.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If it is determined that an asset's estimated future cash flows
will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will
be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair
value.
Investor Funds Raised
Investor funds raised represent monies received from investors to drill
partnership wells for which the partnership has not completed the process of
selling units.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return
of RAI. Income taxes are calculated as if the Company had filed a return on a
separate company basis utilizing a statutory rate of 35%. Deferred taxes
represent deferred tax assets or liabilities which are recognized based on the
temporary differences between the tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities and the amounts reported in the financial statements. Separate
company state tax returns are filed in those states in which the Company is
registered to do business.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents, receivable and payables, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. For long-term debt, the fair value approximates historically
recorded cost, since interest rates approximate market. Management believes the
fair value of any financial commitments are not material.
Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

New Accounting Standards
Effective October 1, 1998, the Company became subject to the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130). SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires disclosure of comprehensive income and
its components. Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes
in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. These changes, other than net income, are
referred to as "other comprehensive income". The Company has no material
elements of comprehensive income, other than net income to report.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging. SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated
balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS 133 effective October 1, 2000. The effect of adopting
SFAS 133 on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows will be dependent on the extent of future hedging activities and
fluctuations in interest rates.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTIES
The Company conducts certain energy activities through, and a
substantial portion of its revenues are attributable to, limited partnerships
("Partnerships"). The Company serves as general partner of the Partnerships and
assumes customary rights and obligations for the Partnerships. As the general
partner, the Company is liable for Partnership liabilities and can be liable to
limited partners if it breaches its responsibilities with respect to the
operations of the Partnerships. The Company is entitled to receive management
fees, reimbursement for administrative costs incurred, and to share in the
Partnerships' revenue and costs and expenses according to the respective
Partnership agreements.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the
Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:
Year Ended
September 30, 1999
------------------
Statutory tax rate..................................... 35%
Statutory depletion.................................... (3)
Goodwill amortization.................................. 4
Non-conventional fuel credits.......................... (2)
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit......... 5
Other.................................................. 1
---------
40%
=========
As discussed in Note 2, the Company's federal income tax provision is
an allocation from RAI, in whose consolidated tax return the Company is
included. The provision allocated to the Company is not materially different
from what the total provision would have been had the Company filed a separate
federal income tax return. The components of the net deferred tax liability (in
thousands) are calculated as if the Company filed a separate tax return. RAI
recorded current and deferred tax liabilities on its books and the Company's
allocation was settled through increases or decreases to the Advances from
Parent balance.

The Company along with other energy affiliates owned by RAI maintains a
$45.0 million credit facility (with $22.0 million of permitted draws available
to the Company) at PNC Bank ("PNC"). The facility is cross collateralized by the
assets of all of the energy affiliates, and a breach of the loan agreement by
any of the energy affiliates would constitute a default by the Company. The
revolving credit facility has a term ending in November 2002 and bears interest
at one of two rates (elected at borrower's option) which increase as the amount
outstanding under the facility increases: (i) PNC prime rate plus between 0 to
75 basis points, or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus between 150 to 225 basis
points. The credit facility contains certain financial covenants and imposes the
following limits: (a) ATLAS's exploration expense can be no more than 20% of
capital expenditures plus exploration expense, without PNC's consent: (b)
limitations on indebtedness, sales, leases or transfers of property by ATLAS
without PNC's consent: and (c) the maintenance of certain financial ratios.
Borrowings under the credit facility are collateralized by substantially all the
oil and gas properties and pipelines of ATLAS. At September 30, 1999, long-term
debt maturing over the next five fiscal years is as follows: (in thousands):
2000 - $1,819; 2001 - $1,002; 2002 - $155 and 2003 - $19,525.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS
The Company is the managing general partner in several oil and gas
limited partnerships, and ATLAS has agreed to indemnify each investor general
partner from any liability, which exceeds such partner's share of partnership
assets. Management believes that any such liabilities that may occur will be
covered by insurance and, if not covered by insurance, will not result in a
significant loss to the Company.
Subject to certain conditions, investor general partners in certain oil
and gas limited partnerships have the right to present their interests for
purchase by the Company, as managing general partner. The Company is not
obligated to purchase more than 5% or 10% of the units in any calendar year. The
Company believes that any liability incurred would not be material based on past
experience.
The Company subordinates a part of its net partnership revenues to the
receipt by investor general partners of cash distributions from the Partnership
equal to at least 10% of their agreed subscriptions determined on a cumulative
basis, in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.
NOTE 7 - FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Company enters into natural gas futures contracts to hedge its
exposure to changes in natural gas prices. At any point in time, such contracts
may include regulated NYMEX futures contracts and non-regulated over-the-counter
futures contracts with qualified counterparties. The futures contracts employed
by the Company are commitments to purchase or sell natural gas at future date
and generally cover one month periods for up to 18 months in the future. Gains
and losses on such contracts are deferred and recognized in the month the gas is
sold. The Company had no significant futures contracts at September 30, 1999.
NOTE 8 - NET ASSETS HELD FOR DISPOSITION
A business unit entered into natural gas futures contracts to hedge its
exposure to changes in natural gas prices. The futures contracts employed by the
Company were commitments to purchase or sell natural gas at a future date and
generally covered one-month periods for up to 18 months in the future. The
Company, in accordance with its intent, at the date of acquisition of The Atlas
Group, Inc., disposed of this business unit on March 31, 1999 and recognized a
gain of $1.0 million which is included in other income.

The estimates of the Company's proved and unproved gas reserves are
based upon evaluations verified by Wright & Company, Inc., an independent
petroleum engineering firm, as of September 30, 1999 and 1998. All reserves are
located in the Appalachian Basin Area. Reserves are estimated in accordance with
guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Financial Accounting Standards Board which require that reserve estimates be
prepared under existing economic and operating conditions with no provision for
price and cost escalation except by contractual arrangements. Proved reserves
are estimated quantities of oil and natural gas which geological and engineering
data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years
from known reservoirs. Proved developed reserves are those which are expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
methods.
The components of capitalized costs related to the Company's oil and gas
producing activities are as follows:

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proven reserves and in projecting future net revenues and the timing of
development expenditures. The reserve data presented represents estimates only
and should not be construed as being exact. In addition, the standardized
measures of discounted future net cash flows may not represent the fair market
value of the Company's oil and gas reserves or the present value of future cash
flows of equivalent reserves, due to anticipated future changes in oil and gas
prices and in production and development costs and other factors for which
effects have not been provided.
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is
information provided for the financial statement user as a common base for
comparing oil and gas reserves of enterprises in the industry. The following
schedule presents the standardized measure of estimated discounted future net
cash flows from the company's proved reserves. Estimated future cash flows are
determined by using the weighted average price received for the last month of
each fiscal year, adjusted only for fixed and determinable increases in natural
gas prices provided by contractual agreements. The standardized measure of
future net cash flows was prepared using the prevailing economic conditions
existing at September 30, 1999 and 1998 and such conditions continually change.
Accordingly, such information should not serve as a basis in making any judgment
on the potential value of recoverable reserves or in estimating future results
of operations.

THE ATLAS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Atlas Group, Inc. (Atlas) was formed in July, 1995 to hold, through
its wholly owned subsidiary AIC, Inc. also formed in July, 1995, Atlas Energy
Group and its subsidiaries, including Atlas Resources, Inc. and Atlas Gas
Marketing, Inc. The purpose of the reorganization is to achieve more efficient
concentration of funds of the Atlas group of companies, thereby minimizing
transaction costs and maximizing returns on investment vehicles. No changes in
the consolidated assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity occurred as a
result of the reorganization.
Atlas and subsidiaries are engaged in the exploration for development,
production, and marketing of natural gas and oil primarily in the Appalachian
Basin area. In addition, the Company performs contract drilling and well
operation services.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Atlas
Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of oil and gas field materials and supplies,
are stated at first-in, first-out, lower of cost or market method of accounting.
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil
and gas producing activities. Property acquisition costs are capitalized when
incurred. Geological and geophysical costs and delay rentals are expensed when
incurred. Development costs, including equipment and intangible drilling costs
related to both producing wells and developmental dry holes, are capitalized.
All capitalized costs are generally depreciated and depleted on the
unit-of-production method using estimates of proven reserves. Oil and gas
properties are periodically assessed and when unamortized costs exceed expected
future net cash flows, a loss is recognized by recording a charge to income.
On the sale or retirement of oil and gas properties, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization are eliminated from
the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized.
For tax purposes, intangible drilling costs are being written off as
incurred. The greater of cost or percentage depletion as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code, is used as a deduction from income.
Property, plant and equipment
Land, buildings, equipment and gathering lines are recorded at cost.
Major additions and betterments are charged to the property accounts while
replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of
the respective assets are expensed currently. As property is retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost of the property is removed from the asset
account, accumulated depreciation is charged with an amount equivalent to the
depreciation provided, and the difference, if any, is charged or credited to
income. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful life of the assets
generally by the straight-line method.

THE ATLAS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Revenue recognition
The Company sells interests in oil and gas wells and retains therefrom
a working interest and/or overriding royalty in the producing wells. The income
from the working interests is recorded when the natural gas and oil are
produced.
The Company also contracts to drill oil and gas wells. The income from
these contracts is recorded upon substantial completion of the well.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor,
supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative
costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined.
Costs in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets
under costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Billings in excess
of costs are classified under current liabilities as billings in excess of costs
on uncompleted contracts. Contract retentions are included in accounts
receivable.
Working interests and royalties
Revenues from working interests and royalties are reported net of all
landowner royalty and lease operating expenses and are recognized when the
natural gas and oil are produced. For the eleven months ended June 30, 1998, the
Company recognized working interest income of $3,556,373 and royalty income of
$949,383. Working interest and royalty income during the year ended July 31,
1997 amounted to $4,113,425 and $1,011,487, respectively.
Cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts contained in prior year comparative information have
been reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.
3. AFFILIATED OIL AND GAS PARTNERSHIPS
In connection with the sponsorship of oil and gas partnerships, the
Company is reimbursed by the partnerships for certain operating and overhead
costs incurred on their behalf. These reimbursements totaled approximately
$370,000 during the eleven months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended July
31, 1997. In addition, as part of its duties as well operator, the Company
receives proceeds from the sale of oil and gas and makes distributions to
investors according to their working interest in the related oil and gas
properties.

and $1,669,660 during the eleven months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended
July 31, 1997, respectively. Interest expense amounted to $277,213 and $536,096
for the eleven months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended July 31, 1997,
respectively.
The notes are subordinate to all direct and indirect debt, past,
present or future and all obligations, if any, to make contributions to any
employee stock ownership plan now in existence or hereinafter created.

Company that are exercisable upon an uncorrected event of default. At June 30,
1998 and July 31, 1997, the following warrants were outstanding:
June 30 July 31,

ranging from $63.25 to $74.10 commencing on the earlier of the satisfaction of
all the Company's obligations under the foregoing promissory notes or November

consisting of an aggregate of options to acquire 47,578 shares of common stock
at $1.00 per share. No options have been granted as of June 30, 1998. The
options will terminate August 15, 2012.
There are restrictions on the sale of the vested Management Investor
and ESOP shares of common stock which include, among other restrictions, that
shares may not be sold until obligations to the majority shareholders are
satisfied. Shares offered for sale must first be offered to the Company and then
to other shareholders before being offered to a third party. Further conditions
apply to sales that would result in a third party owning 5% or more of the total
shares of the Company.

12. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Effective August 1, 1990 the Company established a non-contributory
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) covering substantially all employees except
the Company's two majority shareholders. The Company contributed 3,000 shares of
common stock based on a fair market value of $77.00 ($231,000) and $45.00
($135,000) to the plan during the eleven months ended June 30, 1998 and the year
ended July 31, 1997, respectively. The Company also contributed $30,595 and
$29,413 in cash during the eleven months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended
July 31, 1997, respectively. Employee benefits vest after five years of service,

ESOP contribution of 6,000 shares of common stock based on a fair market value
of $77.00.
13. FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Company enters into natural gas futures contracts to hedge its
exposure to changes in natural gas prices. At any point in time, such contracts
may include regulated NYMEX futures contracts and non-regulated over-the-counter
futures contracts with qualified counterparties. The futures contracts employed
by the Company are commitments to purchase or sell natural gas at a future date
and generally cover one month periods for up to 18 months in the future.
Realized gains (losses) are recorded in the income accounts in the month(s) that
the futures contracts are intended to hedge. Unrealized gains (losses) are
deferred until realized. Deferred gains (losses) were $206,035 and $95,990 at

14. COMMITMENTS
Atlas Resources, Inc., as general partner in several oil and gas
limited partnerships, and The Atlas Group, Inc. have agreed to indemnify each
investor general partner from any liability incurred which exceeds such
partner's share of partnership assets. Management believes that such liabilities
that may occur will be covered by insurance and, if not covered by insurance,
will not result in a significant loss to The Atlas Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.
Subject to certain conditions, investor general partners in certain oil
and gas limited partnerships may present their interests beginning in 1998 for
purchase by Atlas Resources, Inc., as managing general partner. Atlas Resources,
Inc. is not obligated to purchase more than 5% of the units in any calendar
year.
67
THE ATLAS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
14. COMMITMENTS - (Continued)
Atlas Resources, Inc., as managing general partner in certain oil and
gas limited partnerships has also agreed to subordinate its share of production
revenues to the receipt by investor partners of cash distributions equal to at
least 10% of their subscriptions in each of the first five years of partnership
operations. During the eleven months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended July
31, 1997, Atlas Resources, Inc. had net subordinations of $427,245 and $417,896,
respectively.
15. YEAR 2000
The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by year 2000 software failures. Software failures due to
processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the year 2000 date
are a known risk. The Company has established processes for evaluating and
managing risks and costs associated with this problem. The computing portfolio
was identified and an initial assessment has been completed. The Company
anticipates corrective action to be completed during fiscal year 1999 and the
aggregate costs of such corrections will not be material.
16. LITIGATION
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings,
claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion
of management, the outcome of such current legal proceedings, claims and
litigation will not have a material effect on operating results, or cash flows
when resolved in a future period, and these matters will not materially affect
the Company's consolidated financial position.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger
On July 13, 1998 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Resource America, Inc. pursuant to which The Atlas Group, Inc. will
be merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc.
The merger is expected to become effective in the late summer of 1998.
The Company has the right to accelerate the payment of the options to
purchase certain shares of the majority shareholders referred to in Note 4 to
the financial statements, in event of a disposition of the Company.
Stock options
On July 1, 1998 the Company granted to certain key employees options to
purchase 36,374 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $1.00 per share. On
July 6, 1998, 32,874 shares were exercised based on a fair market value of
$77.00 per share. The charge to income, net of the estimated tax benefit, is
approximately $1,850,000.

Management cautions that the standard measure of discounted future cash
flows should not be viewed as an indication of the fair market value of natural
gas and oil producing properties, nor of the future cash flows expected to be
generated therefrom. The information presented does not give recognition to
future changes in estimated reserves, selling prices or costs and has been
discounted at an arbitrary rate of 10%. Estimated future net cash flows from
natural gas and oil reserves based on selling prices and costs at June 30, 1998

RESOURCE ENERGY, INC.
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Resource America, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Resource Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries ("REI" or the "Company") are
energy finance and production companies, engaged in the exploration,
development, production and transportation of natural gas and oil primarily in
the Appalachian Basin Area. REI was incorporated in Delaware in 1993 and is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. ("RAI" or "Parent") which is a
publicly traded company (trading under the symbol REXI on the NASDAQ system)
operating in the real estate finance, leasing and energy business sectors.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its pro rata share of assets and
liabilities, income and expenses of the partnerships in which it has an
interest. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 these estimates.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of oil and gas field materials and supplies,
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in
first-out method.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting.
Accordingly, property acquisition costs, costs of successful exploratory wells,
all development costs, and the cost of support equipment and facilities are
capitalized. Costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed when such
wells are determined to be nonproductive. The costs associated with drilling and
equipping wells not yet completed are capitalized as uncompleted wells,
equipment and facilities. Geological and geophysical costs and the costs of
carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, including delay rentals, are
expensed as incurred.
Production costs, overhead and all exploration costs other than costs
of exploratory drilling are charged to expense as incurred.
Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether
there has been a decline in value and, if such decline is indicated, a loss will
be recognized. The Company compares the carrying value of its oil and gas
producing properties to the estimated future cash flow, net of applicable income
taxes, from such properties in order to determine whether their carrying values
should be reduced. No adjustment was necessary at September 30, 1999.
On an annual basis, the Company estimates the costs of future
dismantlement, restoration, reclamation, and abandonment of its gas and oil
producing properties. Additionally, the Company evaluates the estimated salvage
value of equipment recoverable upon abandonment. At September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the Company's evaluation of equipment salvage values was greater than or equal
to the estimated costs of future dismantlement, restoration, reclamation and
abandonment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Proved developed oil and gas properties, which include intangible
drilling and development costs, tangible well equipment, and lease-hold costs,
are amortized on the unit-of-production method using the ratio of current
production to the estimated aggregate proved developed oil and gas reserves.
Property, plant and equipment, other than oil and gas properties, is
stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives once the asset is put into productive use:
Gas gathering and transmission facilities......Up to 25 years
Building....................................... 25 years
Other equipment................................ 3 - 7 years
Long-Lived Assets
Contract rights and other intangibles consist of contracts purchased to
operate wells and manage limited partnerships. Operating and management
contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the
respective wells (up to 13 years).
Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
acquired and is amortized by the straight-line method over 10 to 15 years. The
Company evaluates both contract rights and goodwill periodically to determine
potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted
estimated future cash flows of the related assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If it is determined that an asset's estimated future cash flows
will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will
be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair
value.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return
of RAI. The Company records a provision for federal income taxes in an amount
equal to the product of its pre-tax book income less any permanent tax
differences, and RAI's incremental federal tax rate. Separate company state tax
returns are filed in those states in which the Company is registered to do
business.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. For long-term debt, the fair value approximates historically
recorded cost, since interest rates approximate market.

New Accounting Standards
Effective October 1, 1998, the Company became subject to the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130). SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" requires disclosure of comprehensive income and
its components. Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes
in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. These changes, other than net income, are
referred to as "other comprehensive income". The Company has no material
elements of comprehensive income, other than net income to report.
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging. "SFAS 133 will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in its consolidated
balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS 133 effective October 1, 2000. The effect of adopting
SFAS 133 on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows will be dependent on the extent of future hedging activities and
fluctuations in interest rates.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company's federal income tax provision has
been an allocation from RAI, whose consolidated tax return includes the Company.
The provision allocated to the Company is not materially different from what the
total provision would have been had the Company filed a separate federal income
tax return.
RAI recorded current and deferred tax liabilities on its books and the
Company's allocation was settled through increases or decreases to the Advances
from Parent balance.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company's results are included in RAI's
consolidated federal income tax return. The components of the net deferred tax
liability at September 30, 1999 presented below are calculated as if the Company
filed a separate tax return:

The Company along with other energy affiliates owned by RAI maintains a
$45.0 million credit facility (with $5.0 million of permitted draws available to
the Company) at PNC Bank ("PNC"). The facility is cross collateralized by the
assets of all of the energy affiliates, and a breach of the loan agreement by
any of the energy affiliates would constitute a default by the Company. The
revolving credit facility has a term ending in November 2002 and bears interest
at one of two rates (elected at borrower's option) which increase as the amount
outstanding under the facility increases: (i) PNC prime rate plus between 0 to
75 basis points, or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus between 150 to 225 basis
points. The credit facility contains certain financial covenants and imposes the
following limits: (a) The Company's exploration expense can be no more than 20%
of capital expenditures plus exploration expense, without PNC's consent: (b)
limitations on indebtedness, sales, leases or transfers of property without
PNC's consent: and (c) the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Borrowings
under the credit facility are collateralized by substantially all the oil and
gas properties and pipelines of the Company. At September 30, 1999, long-term
debt maturing over the next five fiscal years is as follows: (in thousands):
2000 - $367; 2001 - $183; 2002 - $-0- and 2003 - $4,450.

NOTE 6 - SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) - (Continued)
The Company's oil and gas reserves are located within the United
States. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of
proved reserves and in projecting future net revenues and the timing of
development expenditures. The reserve data presented represent estimates only
and should not be construed as being exact. In addition, the standardized
measure of discounted future net cash flows may not represent the fair market
value of the Company's oil and gas reserves or the present value of future cash
flows of equivalent reserves, due to anticipated future changes in oil and gas
prices and in production and development costs and other factors for which
effects have not been provided.
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is
information provided for the financial statement user as a common base for
comparing oil and gas reserves of enterprises in the industry.

Presented below is the standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows and changes therein relating to proved developed oil and gas
reserves. The estimated future production is priced at fiscal year-end prices.
The resulting estimated future cash inflows are reduced by estimated future
costs to develop and produce the proved developed reserves based on fiscal
year-end cost levels. The future net cash flows are reduced to present value
amounts by applying a 10% discount factor.
