Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K13. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS General Origins of the Company. The Company began its corporate existence as Caribou Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on October 3, 1978. The Company's initial corporate purpose was to engage in the oil and gas business, but after a series of lean years in the oil and gas business, beginning in June 1992, the Company entered into the business of charitable fundraising, utilizing a unique computer hardware, software and firmware system which enabled it to answer multiple telephone calls per minute (see "Narrative Description of Business," below). Initial oil and gas industry activities of the Company, commencing in 1978, consisted primarily of the acquisition of undeveloped acreage in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado and Nebraska, drilling 16 wells through two joint ventures and one limited partnership organized by the Company, and participation in 14 wells drilled in joint ventures organized by other industry operators. Three additional wells were drilled during fiscal year 1983. No further wells were drilled; no additional limited partnerships or joint ventures were entered into by the Company in 1984 or thereafter. On November 3, 1982, the Company successfully completed an offering of 22,092,203 shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock receiving net proceeds of $685,249. This capitalization enabled the Company to participate in oil and gas joint ventures and partnerships. Beginning in fiscal 1983, the core business of the Company began to decline. At the end of fiscal 1985, the Company had eight gross (1.87 net) productive wells on 680 gross (87.9 net) developed acres in Colorado, Oklahoma, and Nebraska as a result of its drilling activities together with 9,955 gross (5,309 net) undeveloped acres in Colorado, North Dakota, and Wyoming, with estimates of future net revenues from the Company's total proved reserves of over $1.7 million (and a discounted value just under $940,000) -- yet, the Company showed losses from operations. As changes not in the Company's interests took place in the U.S. domestic oil industry, and as the Company's financial ability to invest in new drilling was sharply curtailed, the Company first tried to sell or lease its oil and gas properties for capital. These tactics produced neither capital nor profitable development of any of the Company's properties. When the value of the Company's properties were down to just over $10,000 on its books, it began to look seriously for a merger partner with additional resources. It accepted an offer from North American Equity, which brought about $7,000,000 in oil and gas properties into the Company. The oil and gas industry continued its decline and after several years, the new properties became uneconomic. The Company continued to search for a merger partner or acquisition target. On June 19, 1992, the Company signed an agreement (the "Agreement," which was set forth as Exhibit A to the Company's 1992 10-K filing, and which is incor porated herein by this reference) which changed the ownership and the direction of the Company (see the Company's 10-K filing for 1992 for complete details), and which agreement was duly ratified by shareholders. Although no revenues obtained as a result of or in direct consequence of the new business of the Company since the change of ownership and change of direction, the Company signed a charitable fundraising agreement with Broadway Cares, Inc. (the "Broadway Cares Agreement"), a group formed by the New York theatre community to fight A.I.D.S., in April 1993, and additional charitable fundraising agreements were signed between the Company and the Action For Peace Foundation (dedicated to helping the women and children of Bosnia in association with United Nations' agencies) (the "Peace Agreement") and with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (the "NCADV Agreement"), in October 1993 and November 1993, respectively (see the Company's 1994 10-K filing for complete details and copies of the Peace Agreement, which was set forth as Exhibit A thereto, and the NCADV Agreement, which was set forth as Exhibit B thereto). Both of these contracts are now being serviced by E.T. Foundation, a Washington, D.C., not-for-profit corporation. The Company has also made proposals to represent a number of other charitable organizations in their fundraising activities as well. Additional agreements with other charitable organizations are anticipated during the next fiscal year. It would be necessary for the Company to raise a substantial amount of money to obtain financial benefits from the various Agreements. Extensive television advertising campaigns would cost millions of dollars, and it would be the Company's obligation to come up with the funds necessary to get such campaigns going. To assist the Company in making additional marketing connections for its "1-900" charitable fundraising program, the Company opened offices in Germany during October 1993 and in Switzerland during February 1994. Although fundraising efforts did not bear fruit during the year ending September 30, 1995, the Company intends to continue its efforts to raise enough money to conduct its advertising campaign as soon as possible. In early 1986, the Company's original core business of oil and gas exploration and development appeared to be rebounding in the United States and throughout the Western Hemisphere. Directors and officers of the Company were approached by various people in the oil and gas business and encouraged to take part in new oil exploration ventures. The Company viewed these overtures seriously. In April, 1996, the Company acquired a majority control of Spectrum Oil Corporation ("Spectrum") and agreed to provide $18 million in financing for Spectrum's hydrocarbon concessions in the Republic of Paraguay, which totaled approximately 15 million acres, subject to the terms of an agreement between Spectrum and the Company. Geologic and seismic data indicated that there could be tens of millions of barrels of oil in the leased area. The Company's Agreement to acquire Spectrum and finance its concessions was subject to verification of the agreements by which Spectrum acquired development rights to the concessions. The Company negotiated a private placement of 8 million share purchase warrants at a price of $2.00 per share for a period of two years. The financing would have guaranteed the funds necessary to complete the acquisition of Spectrum and to fulfill the financial commitments of Spectrum to the oil and gas concessions in Paraguay. However, by July, 1996, Spectrum was in default of its agreements with the owners of the Paraguayan concessions and the Company terminated all agreements between Spectrum and the Company. Thereafter, the Company agreed to tender back to Spectrum the majority control shares of Spectrum which it had given to the Company in connection with its agreements with the Company in exchange for the 8 million shares of the Company's common stock which had been given to Spectrum pursuant to the said agreements. The Company thereafter negotiated an Option Agreement directly with the owners of the Paraguayan hydrocarbon concessions. The terms of this Agreement require the Company to complete a ten-year exploration and development program at a cost of approximately $300 million. The Company negotiated a $350 million financing agreement with Petek A.G., a Swiss investment firm, which will require the Company to issue 1.5 billion shares of its common stock for payment against delivery. As of the end of the Company's fiscal year, this issuance of common stock has not taken place. Financial Information About Industry Segments Since inception, Company revenues, operating profit or loss and identifiable assets have all been attributable to only one industry segment, the oil and gas industry. There is no longer any purpose to filing financial information regarding the amounts of revenue from sales to unaffiliated customers, operating profit or loss and identifiable assets attributable to this segment inasmuch as the Company no longer has active oil and gas assets. The Company has no revenue, and no other relevant financial information, associated with the telecommunications industry or with the charitable fundraising industry to date. Narrative Description of Business Until June 1992, the Company was engaged in the oil and gas exploration business and in the production and sale to wholesalers of crude oil and natural gas. The Company acquired oil and gas property interests, mainly leases through its contacts in the petroleum industry and then sold fractional undivided interests in a portion of the acreage to individual investors and industry firms in connection with exploratory drilling programs (limited partnerships and joint ventures). The Company also participated in drilling exploratory and development wells through joint ventures organized by other industry operators. The fractional undivided working interests and units in limited partnerships which the Company sold in the past constitute securities. The Company sold these interests in private offerings that it believed to be exempt from federal and state registration. If an offering was made which was believed to be exempt but which was in fact subject to a registration requirement, or if a material fact was misstated or omitted in connection with an offering, the Company might be subject to various penalties and liabilities and might have to return purchasers' investments as a result of enforcement action by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and various state securities commissions or private actions by purchasers. No claim has been made against the Company with respect to its prior private offerings and none is anticipated. However, it is possible that the Company might be subject to such a claim in the future. Accordingly, there is no assurance that claims will not be made against the Company for alleged violations of applicable federal and state securities laws. As of June 1992, the Company entered into an entirely different business. It acquired a company with certain ownership rights (the "Rights") to a telecommunications system capable of answering and/or otherwise handling multiple telephone calls per minute (the "System"). The System was designed for use with voice mail, and has unique and highly useful features. The Company determined that such a system could most advantageously be used for charitable fundraising in conjunction with 1-900 numbers. As reported above, the Company entered into several Agreements for charitable fundraising during the calendar year 1993 and, although additional agreements were not concluded during the year ending September 30, 1995, the Company anticipates additional agreements within the next twelve months. The Rights pertain to the "E.T. TeleManagement," "1-900," "1-800" and E.T. "TeleManagement" VoiceMail systems, as reported in the company's 1992 10-K filing. The Company has no other patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions. Telecommunications services and charitable fundraising are not seasonal activities. As of April, 1996, the Company has reentered the oil and gas industry by entering into agreement with respect to Paraguayan oil and gas concessions, as set forth above under "Origins of the Company." Due to the nature of the Company's business, there are no significant working capital items carried on its books (i.e., accounts receivable, inventory, etc.), although a significant amount of equipment is carried on its books. Due to the nature of the Company's business, there is no backlog of orders. There is no portion of the Company's business which may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of government. The Company has substantially reduced its research and development with respect to its telecommunications technology, partially accounting for the accelerated four-year amortization schedule with respect to the Rights. Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales The Company opened offices in Germany and Switzerland in 1993, and it entered into an Option Agreement with respect to hydrocarbon concessions in the Republic of Paraguay in 1996, but there are no foreign operations or export sales at this time. This is changing rapidly and it is anticipated that the Company will have operations as early as fiscal 1997 in Europe and South America. Employment The Company has no full-time employees. The policy of the Company has been to utilize consultants and other professionals on and ad hoc, when needed, basis until the size of the Company warrants the employment of paid employees. The Company anticipates the need for paid employees during fiscal 1997. The Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory under the circumstances. Competition The Company's activities in the oil exploration industry as well as in the telecommunications and fundraising industries involve two extremely competitive industries. The oil industry in America, after a decade-long decline, with a price collapse in the mid-eighties with a corresponding decline in demand, is making a significant comeback in the late 1990s, and the fundraising industry and the telecommunications industry are among the most rapidly growing industries in the world. In both industries, the Company is one of thousands of firms which make money, or propose to make money, from its operations. In the oil industry, the Company faces competition from hundreds of wildcatters and a number of giant corporations like Exxon, Shell, and others; in the telecommunications industry, competition comes from giant corporations like AT&T and from thousands of small companies, offering an ever-increasing array of telecommunications products and services; and in the charitable fundraising industry, there are a number of organizations which raise money, and a myriad of charitable organizations formed for a myriad of purposes. Competition is both general and specific: there are a number of approaches to making money in the oil exploration industry, and there are many other ways to raise money for charities besides advertising 1-900 telephone numbers.

The Company's fiscal year ends on September 30th. ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Fiscal 1996 v. Fiscal 1995 Overall During this fiscal year, the Company reentered the oil and gas exploration industry which was once its mainstay by entering into an option agreement to develop oil and gas reserves in the Republic of Paraguay at an estimated cost of $300 million. The Company also continued its attempted entry into the area of charitable fundraising using 1-900 "pay-per-call" telephone numbers during this fiscal year. Until the financing and marketing plans of the Company begin to develop cash flow, the development stage of the program will continue to draw from the Company's asset picture. Cash assets at the close of fiscal 1996 were $0 as compared to $0 in 1995 and $9,657 in 1994; fixed assets were estimated to be worth $34,270 in 1996 as compared to $164,772 in 1995 and $285,193 in 1994; the Rights and associated product development expenditures (subject to the amortization schedule set forth in the Financial Statements) dropped to $1 in 1996 from $1,662,500 in 1995 and $3,751,721 in 1994; and total assets were $339,073 in 1996 as compared to $2,193,033 in 1995 and $4,046,571 in 1994. The Company's fund raising efforts in Europe, including a proposed $350 million financing which will make possible both the Company's oil exploration activities in Paraguay and the planned advertising campaign for its proposed charitable fund raising operations, have been developing during this fiscal year and the Company believes that it will be successful in following its present business plan. Its European offices (in Germany and Switzerland) are expected to lead the way in placing common shares of the Company, which will be necessary for the Company's proposed expansion in South America and for the television campaign in the United States, commercials for which have already been developed. The Company believes that during fiscal 1997, it will both reestablish its presence in the oil industry and commence its charitable fund raising activities in earnest and raise such funds as are necessary to pay for both oil exploration and television advertising. Results of Operations Fiscal 1995 v. Fiscal 1994 Overall The Company's entry into the area of charitable fundraising using 1-900 "pay-per-call" telephone numbers has continued during this fiscal year. Until the marketing plan of the Company begins to develop cash flow, the development stage of the program will continue to draw from the Company's asset picture. Cash assets at the close of fiscal 1995 were $0 as compared to $9,657 in 1994 and $21,657 in 1993; fixed assets were estimated to be worth $164,772 in 1995 as compared to $285,193 in 1994 and $409,334 in 1993; the Rights and associated product development expenditures (subject to the amortization schedule set forth in the Financial Statements) dropped to $1,662,500 in 1995 from $3,751,721 in 1994 and $4,987,500 in 1993; and total assets were $2,193,033 in 1995 as compared to $4,046,571 in 1994 and $5,418,491 in 1993. The Company's fundraising efforts in Europe have been developing during this fiscal year and the Company believes that it will be successful in following its present business plan. Its European offices (in Germany and Switzerland) are expected to lead the way in raising the funds necessary for the Company's proposed expansion into Europe and for the television campaign, commercials for which have already been developed. The Company believes that during fiscal 1996, it will commence its charitable fundraising activities in earnest and raise such funds as are necessary to pay for television advertising. Extraordinary Items There were no extraordinary items reported in this fiscal year. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1996, the Company had no cash assets, but total current assets of $339,073, compared with no cash assets and total current assets of $2,193,033 in 1995 and cash assets of $9,657 and total assets of $4,046,571 in 1994. The Company is not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. Capital Resources and Expenditures There were no significant capital expenditures made by the Company during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. Further, the Company had no known material commitments for additional capital expenditures as of September 30, 1996. Management of the Company knows of no material trends, favorable or unfavorable, with respect to the Company's capital resources. Inflation The results of the Company's operations have not been significantly affected by inflation during the last three fiscal years ended September 30, 1996. ITEM 8.
