NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Gold & Green, Inc. (the Company) was organized under the
laws of the State of Nevada on June 4, 1995. It originally planned to
develop and pursue patent protection for novelty items for the automotive
industry. During July 2000, the company discontinued operations upon the
resignation of the former officers and the sale by the officers of a
controlling interest of the Company common stock to the new Officer and
Director (See Note 3).
On August 8, 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Royal
Energy Corporation ("Subsidiary") and appointed Dr. O'Brein as Royal's sole
officer and director. Additionally, the Board approved the employment of
Kathleen Casale as the Subsidiary's Director of Marketing and Thomas Gordon
as Subsidiary's Director of Sales. The business of the Subsidiary will be
to implement and operate a business to business energy concern that brokers
and markets electricity, natural gas and other energy products and
services. Current Management has spent extensive time researching and
developing this plan, which Management feels is now ready to market.
The Company has not generated significant revenues and is considered a
development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 7.
Consolidated - The consolidated financial statement include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Energy, Corporation.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Organization Costs - The Company has expensed its organization costs, which
reflect amounts expended to organize the Company, in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Position 98-5.
Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share". [See Note 6]
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the financial statements, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 125", SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", and SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations", were recently issued. SFAS No. 140, 141,
142, and 143 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect
on the financial statements would not have been significant.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Continued]
Accounting Estimates - The 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, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results
could differ from those estimated.
NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During July 2000, The Company's management decided to abandon the Company's
original business plan of developing and pursuing patent protection for
novelty items for the automotive industry. The Company also intended to
manufacture and market its inventions and to seek a merger or acquisition
with an existing business.
NOTE 3 - CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock - In October 1998, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its
previously authorized, but unissued common stock. Proceeds from the sale
of stock amounted to $22,094 (or $.10 per share), net of stock offering
costs of $7,906.
On June 21, 1995, in connection with its organization, the Company issued
10,000,000 shares of its previously authorized, but unissued common stock.
Total proceeds from the sale of stock amounted to $1,000.
On November 12, 1999, the Company's board of directors approved a 10 for 1
forward stock-split for shareholders of record on November 12, 1999. The
financial statements for all periods presented have been restated to
reflect the stock-split.
On July 31, 2000, the Company's former president, director and majority
shareholder as well as the Company's former secretary, director and
shareholder executed an agreement with Roger Piacentini to transfer
5,975,000 shares or 58% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company owned by the former president and the former secretary. The terms
of the agreement required the former officers and directors to resign and
appoint Mr. Piacentini as Sole officer and director.
On August 7, 2000 the shareholders amended the articles of incorporation
increasing the authorized common shares, par value $.001, from 25,000,000
to 100,000,000.
During August 2000, pursuant to a meeting of the new board of directors,
Dr. John O'Brien accepted appointment as Vice President and Director and
was issued 10,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash
compensation, valued at $10,100, resulting in Dr. O'Brien's ownership of
49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and reducing
Piacentini's ownership to 29%.
During August 2000, the Company issued 40,000 shares of common stock to
employees of the Company in lieu of cash compensation valued at $40.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Contribution Capital - A former shareholder of the Company forgave the
Company of $2,164 in advances which has been accounted for as a capital
contribution.
Professional Services - The principal shareholders are officers of the
Company who also provide professional and managerial services to the
Company.
Rent - The Company maintains, rent free, a mailing address at the office of
one of its officers.
Accounts Payable - As of August 31, 2001, an officer of the Company has
lent the Company a total of $2,235 to pay expenses.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS
No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability
equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting
differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available
operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At August 31, 2001, the
Company has available unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$114,000, which may be applied against future taxable income and which
expire in 2019 through 2021.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating
loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the
tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future
events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the
uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards the
Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of
the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been
recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax asset is
approximately $38,700 as of August 31, 2001, with an offsetting valuation
allowance of the same amount resulting in a change in the valuation
allowance of approximately $3,400 for the year ended August 31, 2001. As a
result of the change in control of the Company the net operating loss
carryover of approximately $26,700 were loss and offset against the
allowance.

Dilutive earnings per share was not presented, as the Company had no common

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses
since its inception, and has not yet been successful in establishing
profitable operations. Further the Company has current liabilities in
excess of current assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard,
management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not
provided by operations through loans and/or through additional sales of its
common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in
raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
At August 31, 2001, a venture capital group had loaned the Company $65,000.
The unsecured convertible notes payable bear interest at 18%, are due March
1, 2001, and are convertible into common stock of the Company at $1.00 per
share.

connection with the agreement the Company granted the Ohio licensed
utilities supplier an option to purchase a 10% interest of the Company's
Subsidiary's outstanding common stock at $.001 per share. The option is
exercisable for one year from the signing of the agreement and expires upon
termination of the agreement.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On September 4, 2001, officers of the company contributed back to the

The Company undertakes no obligations to update any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or

Plan of Operation
Royal Energy Corp. ("Royal"), the Company's subsidiary is continuing
to look for marketing opportunities in the retail natural gas and electric
markets by analyzing the various stages of deregulation in different
States, including Texas, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Royal
is awaiting NASD approval for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin
Board and has been unable to raise additional capital. It is management's
opinion that once NASD approval is achieved, the Company should be able to
raise the additional capital necessary to begin delivering electricity and
natural gas to retail customers.
Royal has assembled an experienced management team that has
demonstrated the ability to acquire and serve customers cost effectively.
The Company's core target markets, commercial and industrial business
customers are high value customers because sales margins are typically
substantial and customer loyalty is typically high. The Company's
management has developed and refined the processes and procedures to
acquire the targeted customers at a very rapid rate. Adding staff and
additional geographic markets can increase the projected rate of customer
acquisition. The Company's growth plan involves leveraging current
management, organization and infrastructure assets to build a large
customer base of commercial and industrial electricity and natural gas
customers in markets that are currently opening to competition. In
addition to the customer base providing substantial sales margins, the
opportunity exists to cross-sell additional products in the future at very
low cost.
Sales of electricity and natural gas to ultimate consumers in the
United States exceeded $300 billion in 1998, which makes these markets
among the largest physical commodity markets in the U.S. The gas and
electric industries are currently in the process of substantial
deregulation, which is beginning to allow retail customers to purchase
their electricity and natural gas from competitive vendors such as Royal.
Historically, the energy industry was dominated by federal and state
chartered vertically integrated entities that were granted geographic
monopolies. States have reacted to the need for competition by enacting
laws and regulations that free natural gas and electric consumers to choose
a competitive supplier. Electric and gas utilities are becoming delivery
conduits for supplies of energy that are not price regulated. As a result
of the ongoing deregulation of the natural gas and electric markets by
state and federal authorities, many energy users are now in a position to
seek to purchase, at a savings, their electricity and natural gas from
competitive suppliers rather than the incumbent monopoly.
The electric industry is comprised of three distinct segments--
generation, transmission and distribution. All three segments have
traditionally been owned and operated by vertically integrated, investor-
owned or municipal utilities that delivered monopoly service within their
franchised service area. Through deregulation, the generation segment of
the market is being subject to competition while the transmission and
distribution segments will continue to be price-regulated. A growing
number of electric and gas utilities, including the Company's target
markets, are now offering delivery services for electricity that is
purchased from competitive suppliers. In most jurisdictions, utilities are
actually being required to divest their generation plants so that
generators, independent from the regulated electric company, will sell
directly to retail customers with the utility simply delivering the power
that customers purchase. Royal purchases or brokers electricity from
generators and resells it to retail customers.
In the natural gas industry, most gas utilities have delivery services
available for commercial and industrial business customers under which the
gas utility delivers gas purchased from competitive suppliers. Most
competitors in the marketplace have concentrated on obtaining very large
industrial customers and the small to medium commercial and industrial
customer market has been largely ignored. Only recently has this market
segment been targeted, but only four or five firms appear to be targeting
this segment in the Company's target markets. In the target markets that
Royal intends to pursue during the next twelve months, there are over
1,000,000 commercial business customers of which less than 10% have chosen
competitive suppliers.
In the markets where the Company currently markets and where it
intends to expand,1 there are over 1,000,000 commercial and industrial
business customers. The vast majority of these customers will have to
choose a competitive supplier within the next year. It is estimated that
only about 10% of these customers have thus far chosen a competitive
electricity and natural gas supplier. In addition, other areas are opening
to competition in the electric and gas markets in the next two years.
Royal will closely monitor additional markets that can be cost effectively
and successfully entered.
Royal's goal is to obtain 25,000 to 50,000 commercial and industrial
business customers in these target markets. The trend is for traditional
utilities to leave the business of supplying commodity services and reduce
the scope of the services offered to energy delivery services only, thus
providing large growth opportunities to Royal.
Royal Energy Corporation started operations in September 2000 with the
investigation into entering the deregulating market in Ohio. In October
2000, a definitive marketing agreement was entered into with Advantage
Energy, Inc. ("Advantage") under which Royal is marketing and sales agent
to Advantage in certain areas within Ohio. Marketing plans have been
developed to market electricity in the service area of First Energy
Corporation in northern Ohio. Engagement of inbound and outbound call
centers is underway and marketing literature is being printed for a direct
mail campaign scheduled for early November. A product offering has been
developed and client contracts are being designed.
Currently Royal Energy is preparing a marketing program for the
Metropolitan New York area (New York City, Northern New Jersey, Westchester
County and Long Island). Royal is developing marketing materials, retaining
telemarketers and a sales force. We are also in discussion with various
suppliers of natural gas and electricity for the Metropolitan New York
area.

power industry as it restructures. Dr. O'Brien started his career in 1976
as a scientist in Brookhaven National Laboratory's Department of Nuclear
Energy where he worked principally on how to best regulate the organization
and management of nuclear facilities. While at Brookhaven he was among the
youngest individuals in the Brookhaven's history to achieve the rank of
Full Scientist and he provided numerous research reports to the Department
of Energy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Office of Technology
Assessment, the Congressional Research Service and the U.S. Military, among
others. He also provided testimony and background in many regulatory
proceedings having to do with energy regulation and authored over 40
published articles, reports and a book on energy matters.
In 1985 Dr. O'Brien left Brookhaven and founded Direct Gas Supply
Corporation, which under his supervision grew to a $51 million Company in
five years. Direct Gas was the first participant in New York State in the
deregulation of the natural gas industry and moved the first non-utility
gas to consumers in the State under the new regulations. While at Direct
Gas, Dr. O'Brien participated in many proceedings before the New York
Public Service Commission ("PSC") and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and was also responsible for starting the first new utility in
New York State in over forty years. Dr. O'Brien sold his Company to
British Petroleum and left in 1992. In 1993, Wheeled Electric Power
Company retained Dr. O'Brien in order to participate in the ongoing
deregulation of the electric power market. Wheeled Electric was able to
acquire over 22,000 gas and electric customers during his tenure. In 1999,
he was retained by Full Power Corp. to run their All Power Corp.
subsidiary to participate in the ongoing natural gas and electricity
deregulation market in the Northeast United States. Dr. O'Brien is
considered to be an expert on energy deregulation and frequently lectures
and testifies on the subject. He has also testified several times before
the U.S. Congress and New York Legislature on electric power deregulation.
