ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

Compressco, Inc., formerly Emerging Alpha Corporation (together with its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise, the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 10, 1993 for the purpose of creating a corporate vehicle to seek, investigate and, if the results of such investigation warrants, acquire a business opportunity presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to employ the Company's funds in their business or to seek the perceived advantages of a publicly held corporation. Prior to October 1999, the primary activity of the Company has been devoted to organizational activities and obtaining initial funding. After careful investigation and analysis, the Company determined in 1999 to enter into the natural gas compression business and, in October 1999, completed an acquisition of companies that provide compression and measurement services to the natural gas and oil industry.

COMPANY OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

OVERVIEW

Compressco, Inc. is a provider of compression services, natural gas measurement and production enhancement strategies. We provide products and services to customers who are producing and transporting natural gas from relatively low-pressure, low-volume gas and oil wells and gathering systems. As part of our operations, we also design and fabricate low-pressure natural gas compressors, which include our patented designs.

Through our principal operating subsidiary, we have been involved in the compression services industry since 1990, and have been continually improving our products and services since that time. We offer for rental or sale two models of Gas Jack® brand compressors, which we believe are superior to our competitors' compressors because they are more fuel efficient and more reliably handle variable liquid conditions in the wellbore. Our Gas Jack® compressors utilize patented designs that allow operators to increase production from and to extend the productive lives of low-volume or marginal gas wells. In addition, with the introduction of our new E-Pumper™ product, a remote operation monitoring and alarm system, our customers are able to better monitor their wells, thereby reducing costly down time. We provide natural gas measurement services and natural gas well monitoring.

In connection with the acquisition of our principal operating subsidiary by a new investor group in October 1999, we installed a new management team, and placed a new emphasis on leveraging our proprietary technology to aggressively grow our business. As of December 31, 2000, we had 375 compressors in service, which represented an increase of approximately 88% in the past twelve months. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $5.3 million compared to $3.8 million ($3.0 million from predecessor company, Gas Jack Inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("Gas Jack"), through October 29, 1999 and $0.8 million after October 29, 1999) for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.5 million, or 39%. For the year ended December 31, 2000, our revenue related to compressor rentals was $4.0 million compared to $2.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $1.4 million, or 54%. Based on our December 2000 revenue, our annualized compressor rental revenue currently exceeds $6.3 million.

We service our rental compressor fleet as well as provide maintenance services through our 22 mobile field technicians. Currently, all of our technicians are based in the south central United States, the area in which the majority of our customers operate. As a result, we are able to provide quality maintenance service without the expense of maintaining many costly service centers.

INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

As natural gas fields age, they lose pressure, thereby requiring compression to produce the remaining reserves at historic volumes. At the end of 1998, there was approximately 14.8 million horsepower of field compression equipment in the United States, of which approximately 4.1 million horsepower was outsourced. From 1993 to 1998, the compression rental industry grew at a rate of approximately 15.4% per year in the United States in terms of horsepower. Our industry also has recently begun to grow rapidly internationally.

The demand for compression services is linked to natural gas consumption rather than exploration activities. As a result, our financial performance historically has been less affected by the short-term market cycles and volatile commodity prices of oil and natural gas than companies operating in other sectors of the energy industry. Demand for compression services has increased over time, even during periods of volatile natural gas prices. We believe the natural gas compression services industry will continue to have significant growth potential, especially as it relates to marginal wells, due to the following factors:

•	the number of new gas wells drilled in the United States has been on the decline for the past several years, which has resulted in more mature gas wells that have lost pressure over time and require compression to produce remaining reserves at historic volumes;
•	newer gas fields in the United States are experiencing more rapid loss of pressure than older fields and are requiring compression at earlier stages to maintain production levels;
•	natural gas consumption is increasing in the United States at an average rate of 2.0% to 2.5% per year and internationally at an average rate of 3.0% to 4.0% per year; and
•	natural gas producers are increasingly outsourcing gas compression requirements to reduce overall cost of compression, improve run-time performance, reduce capital requirements and better meet changing compression needs.

We believe that we are well positioned to participate in the future growth in this industry as we are one of the few compression service providers with fuel-efficient compressors that are designed to maximize and extend the reserve life of marginal wells.

OUR GROWTH STRATEGY

Our growth strategy is to continue to focus on meeting the evolving needs and demands of our customers by providing consistent, superior services and dependable, high quality products. We will continue to serve existing customers in and increase market share of our core service area located in the south central United States. The key elements of our strategy are described below:

•	Expanding our sales and service coverage in our core markets. We intend to expand the coverage of our sales force by increasing the number of sales and marketing personnel that we employ to market to, advise and service our customers in the south central United States.
•	Expanding into new geographic areas. Currently the majority of our customers operate in the south central United States. We believe there are, however, gas fields in other regions of the United States that would be benefited by our compression products. Accordingly, we intend to expand our presence by engaging sales and service personnel outside our core geographic markets.
•	Offering complementary products and services. We intend to expand our range of compression services and products to meet the needs of our customers. Our new E-Pumper™ product allows customers to obtain real-time information regarding the operation of production equipment.
•	Continuing a standardized approach to our business. Since we design and fabricate two models of compressors, we are able to develop expertise in operating and maintaining our compressors, provide our customers with consistent, high quality service, optimize our inventory, reduce our costs and train our service technicians faster and more effectively.

OPERATIONS

Compressor Fleet

The Company has manufactured a total of 679 compressors including 262 units in the year ended December 31, 2000. As of the end of 2000, the Company has a compressor fleet of 471 units; of these units, 375 are currently on rent. The Company's rental agreements are for monthly and annual terms. These units, as well as contracted maintenance on certain sold units, are maintained by company personnel and contracted third parties.

Since inception in 1990, an aggregate of 223 units have been sold to customers in the United States, Canada, Holland, Indonesia and Argentina. During year 2000 the Company repurchased 16 used compressors it had sold in prior years and added these back to our rental fleet.

The Gas Jack compressor utilizes an integral design as the frame for the compressor. A Ford industrial 460 cubic inch V-8 is modified so that one bank of four cylinders uses natural gas from the well to power the other bank of four cylinders that provide compression. This configuration is capable of handling suction pressures from vacuum conditions of up to 12 inches vacuum and discharge pressures of up to 250 PSIG. This configuration allows the Company to provide a moderately priced, reliable well head compressor that is easy to maintain and does not require special parts, tools, fluids or training to operate. The design also allows for a compact unit that is easily transported and requires minimal site preparation, which assists the producer in testing and evaluating subject properties.

Fabrication

The Company's current manufacturing staff and facility is capable of producing up to 60 new units per month, as well as the required reconditioning of units that are returned from rental. Over the last few years, the Company has improved its shop and suppliers scheduling, implemented shop and supplier's quality control, maximized the use of its existing facility and personnel. This has resulted in cost reductions, minimized rework, improved inventory control and increased production efficiency.

COMPETITION

Primary competition for the compression manufacturing and service end of the Company is from various local and regional packagers that generally use a screw compressor with a separate engine driver or a reciprocating compressor with a separate engine driver. The existing Gas Jack business competes with these packagers by making use of the engine for both compression and drive thereby eliminating a significant amount of the cost associated with the competitor offerings. The Company believes that its patented technology helps it to maintain a competitive position in the marginal well application of compressor technology. The gas compression industry is highly competitive but Gas Jack is positioned well because it has focused its products and efforts on low volume, low pressure oil and gas wells.

EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

As of December 31, 2000 the Company and its subsidiaries had a total of 60 employees. None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company did not have sales to any one customer comprising more than 10% of its revenues. During the nine months ended December 31, 1999, the Company had sales to one customer which amounted to approximately 11% of the Company's total 1999 revenue. As of December 31, 2000, one customer represented approximately 13% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance. The Company purchases a substantial portion of its equipment, specifically, compressor engines and related items, from one supplier, Ford Motor Company.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The Company's Common Stock is not and has not been traded on a stock exchange or national quotation system. As of December 31, 2000, there were 338 stockholders of record. No dividends have been paid and none are expected to be paid in the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is restricted by our existing bank credit facility.

In March 2000, we issued 70,002 shares of our common stock through a private placement for $30.00 per share or total proceeds of $2.1 million. The equity proceeds were used in part to repay borrowings under our credit facility and the remaining proceeds were used primarily to fund the growth in our compressor fleet.

In December 2000 and January 2001, we completed an offering of our 13% subordinated promissory notes and warrants to purchase our common stock through a private placement. At December 31, 2000, $5,250,000 of the subordinated promissory notes were issued. An additional $250,000 of the subordinated promissory notes have been issued subsequent to December 31, 2000. These notes are subordinated, unsecured obligations of the Company and rank junior to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The notes mature on the earlier of (1) the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Company's capital stock or (2) December 31, 2003. The Company may, at any time, prepay any part of the principal balance on the notes, in increments of $10,000, without premium or penalty prior to maturity. Interest is payable at 13% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears commencing on March 31, 2001. Each purchaser of notes also received warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $120 per share. Each $1,000 of issued principal amount of notes received warrants to purchase 8.4 shares of common stock, or a total of 46,200 shares. Of the total proceeds received, $100,000 was allocated to the stock warrants.

The offerings described above were completed in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Prior to October 1999, the Company had no business operations; its only revenue since its inception in 1993 was from interest income and its only expenses related to administrative expenses. In October 1999, the Company purchased a privately held natural gas compressor manufacturing and service company, Gas Jack, for $2.7 million in cash, and also purchase GJ Measurement, an Oklahoma L.L.C. ("GJ Measurement") for 33,333 shares of common stock. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company's fiscal year end was changed from March 31 to December 31. The following sets forth selected financial information for the year ended and as of December 31, 2000 and for the nine months ended December 31,1999 and as of December 31, 1999 and is qualified in its entirety by the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.

The following discussion regarding the consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

The Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended December 31, 1999 reflect the acquisition of Gas Jack on October 29, 1999. Prior to the acquisition, Compressco had no business operations. The year ended December 31, 2000 includes a full year of Gas Jack operations compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1999 that includes only two months of Gas Jack operations. We have included the financial statements of Gas Jack for the ten month period of January 1, 1999 through October 29, 1999 on pages F-16 through F-21 of these audited financial statements.

The total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $5,304,001 compared to the nine month period in 1999 following the acquisition when the Company had revenues of $786,159. The Company's compressor units on rental increased from approximately 200 at December 31, 1999 to approximately 375 units at December 31, 2000 an increase of 88%.

The total cost of sales and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $4,289,500 compared to the nine month period in 1999 following the acquisition when the Company had total cost of sales and expenses of $602,672. The total cost of sales and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were 81% of total revenues compared to 77% for the nine month period in 1999. The increase in the percent of total cost of sales and expenses in 2000 over 1999 is due primarily to increasing sales and marketing expenditures in 2000 to increase the company revenue.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company had depreciation and amortization expense of $690,037 compared to $112,350 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The increase is due to the increase in the Company's compressor fleet in 2000 from 206 units at December 31, 1999 to 471 units at December 31, 2000. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company changed its estimate of the useful life and salvage value of its compressors for purposes of computing depreciation. The useful life and salvage value was changed from seven years with no salvage to twelve years with ten percent salvage value. The effect of the change in the accounting estimate for the year ended December 31, 2000 was to decrease depreciation expense by approximately $291,000 and decrease the net loss after taxes by approximately $180,000.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $324,464 compared to $71,137 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was 6.1% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to 9.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

The decrease in the operating income as a percent of total revenue in 2000 was due to the increased sales and marketing expense and increased depreciation on the increased rental fleet.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company had interest expense of $338,648 compared to $46,823 of interest expense for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999. The increase in interest expense in 2000 is due to interest on the loan to finance the acquisition of Gas Jack in October 1999 and interest on the bank financing of the increased compressor fleet in 2000.

The year ended December 31, 2000 resulted in pre-tax net income of $12,333 compared to a pre-tax net loss of $5,395 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In December 2000 and January 2001, the Company completed an offering of 13% subordinated promissory notes and stock warrants to qualified private investors. At December 31, 2000, $5,250,000 of the subordinated promissory notes were issued. An additional $250,000 of the subordinated promissory notes have been issued subsequent to December 31, 2000. The notes are subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and rank subordinate to all existing indebtedness of the Company. The notes mature on the earlier of (1) the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Company's capital stock or (2) December 31, 2003. The Company may, at any time prepay any part of the principal balance on the notes, in increments of $10,000, without premium or penalty prior to maturity. Interest is payable at 13% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears commencing on March 31, 2001. Of the total proceeds received, $100,000 was allocated to the stock warrants.

On October 29, 1999, the Company borrowed $2,800,000 under a term loan agreement with Hibernia National Bank. The related note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.8%. Principal payments of $46,667, plus accrued interest, are due monthly until maturity on October 30, 2004. The loan is secured with the assets and compressor leases of the Company and a personal guarantee of the Company's President.

On October 29, 1999, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Hibernia National Bank. Under the agreement, as amended and restated December 28, 2000, the Company can borrow the lesser of (i) $7,500,000 and (ii) the sum of 80% of the aggregate amount of eligible receivables, plus 50% of the aggregate amount of eligible inventory, plus 85% of the appraised value of compressors fabricated since acquisition of the business on October 29, 1999. The line of credit bears interest at Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (9.5% at December 31, 2000). Interest is payable monthly with all outstanding borrowings due at maturity on December 27, 2003. The loan is secured with the assets and compressor leases of the Company and a personal guarantee of the Company's President. The Company's credit facility imposes a number of financial and restrictive covenants that among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens and pay dividends. At December 31, 2000, the Company was in violation of its Debt to EBITDA coverage ratio covenant. Subsequent to year-end, the Company has received a waiver from its lender for this covenant violation. In addition, the Company's lender has amended the Debt to EBITDA coverage ratio for the period ending March 31, 2001. Management expects that the Company will be in compliance with the revised covenants under the amended credit facility throughout 2001. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, all outstanding borrowings under the line of credit were repaid from a portion of the proceeds from subordinated promissory note offering.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations and funds available under its credit facilities will provide the necessary working capital to fund the Company's requirements for current operations through 2001. However, in connection with any expansion of operations or acquisition activities, it is likely that the Company will need additional sources of debt or equity financing. The Company cannot provide assurance that these funds will be available or if available will be available on satisfactory terms.

RISK FACTORS

As described in "Part I. Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," this Report contains forward-looking statements regarding our business and industry. The risk factors described below, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially negatively impacted. Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently consider immaterial may also negatively impact the Company.

RISKS INHERENT IN OUR INDUSTRY

We are significantly dependent on demand for natural gas, and a prolonged, substantial reduction in this demand could adversely affect the demand for our services and products.

Gas compression operations are materially dependent upon the demand for natural gas. Demand may be affected by, among other factors, natural gas prices, demand for energy and availability of alternative energy sources. Any prolonged, substantial reduction in the demand for natural gas would, in all likelihood, depress the level of production, exploration and development activity and result in a decline in the demand for our compression services and products. This could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

We intend to make substantial capital investments to implement our growth strategy.

We anticipate that we will continue to make substantial capital investments to increase expand our compressor rental fleet and enhance our sales and marketing and service operations. For the year ended December 31, 2000, our capital expenditures totaled approximately $6.9 million, primarily associated with the expansion of our compressor rental fleet. Historically, we have financed these expenditures through equity placements and bank facilities. These significant capital expenditures require cash that we could otherwise apply to other business needs. However, if we do not incur these expenditures while our competitors make substantial investments to improve their rental fleets and other services, our market share may decline and our business may be adversely affected. In addition, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash internally or obtain alternative sources of capital, it could materially adversely affect our growth.

Our business subjects us to potential liabilities which may not be covered by insurance.

Natural gas service operations are subject to inherent risks, such as equipment defects, malfunction and failures and natural disasters which can result in uncontrollable flows of gas or well fluids, fires and explosions. These risks could expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, pollution and other environmental damages. Although we have obtained insurance against many of these risks, there can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to cover our liabilities. Further, there can be no assurance that insurance will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If we were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to substantial environmental regulation, and changes in these regulations could increase our costs or liabilities.

We are subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws and regulatory standards, including regulations regarding the discharge of materials into the environment, emission controls and other environmental protection concerns. Environmental laws and regulations may, in certain circumstances, impose "strict liability" for environmental contamination, rendering us liable for cleanup costs, natural resource damages and other damages as a result of our conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior

operators or other third parties. In addition, it is not uncommon for the neighboring land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury, property damage and recovery of response costs. Cleanup costs and other damages arising as a result of environmental laws, and costs associated with changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or the adoption of new laws and regulations could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Moreover, failure to comply with these environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties.

We routinely deal with natural gas, oil and other petroleum products. As a result of our engineered products and overhaul and field operations, we generate, manage and dispose of or otherwise recycle hazardous wastes and substances, such as solvents, thinner, waste paint, waste oil, washdown wastes and sandblast material. Although it is our policy to utilize generally accepted operating and disposal practices in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed or released on, under or from properties owned, leased, or operated by us or on or under other locations where such wastes have been taken for disposal. These properties and the wastes disposed on them may be subject to investigatory, remedial and monitoring requirements under federal, state and local environmental laws.

We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, the modification or interpretation of existing federal, state and local environmental laws or regulations, the more vigorous enforcement of existing environmental laws or regulations, or the adoption of new environmental laws or regulations may also negatively impact oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on us and other similarly situated service companies.

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

The natural gas compression service and engineered products business is highly competitive. Our main competitors are large national and multinational companies, which have significantly greater financial resources than our company. These competitors offer a wide range of compressors for sale or rental. If these companies substantially increase the resources they devote to the development and marketing of competitive products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively.

RISKS SPECIFIC TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY

We are dependent on particular suppliers and are vulnerable to product shortages and price increases.

Both models of Gas Jack® compressors that we fabricate are powered by a Ford 460 cubic inch V-8 engine. Ford recently announced that it has discontinued the production of this engine model. As a result, we recently implemented a strategy of purchasing remanufactured Ford 460 engines. Although we have not yet experienced a significant delay in receiving the requisite engines, a prolonged delay or substantial increase in the cost of new or remanufactured Ford 460 engines could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

In addition, both of our compressor models share many components that we obtain from a single source or a limited group of suppliers. Our reliance on these suppliers involves several risks, including price increases, inferior component quality and a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components in a timely manner. The partial or complete loss of certain of these sources could have at least a temporary material adverse effect on our results of operations and could damage our customer relationships. Further, a significant increase in the price of one or more of these components could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have a limited operating history with our current management team.

Although we acquired Compressco Field Services, Inc., formerly Gas Jack, Inc., in October 1999, our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, has a limited operating history in compressor fabricating. Although we believe we have made major improvements to our fabrication activities, we cannot offer any assurances that we will be successful and profitable in the future.

We are highly leveraged and vulnerable to interest rate changes.

As of December 31, 2000, we had approximately $8.3 million in outstanding indebtedness, including capital lease obligations and the current portion of long-term debt, representing approximately 73% of our total capitalization. Of this amount, approximately $1.0 million bore interest at floating rates. Changes in economic conditions could result in higher interest and lease payment rates, thereby increasing our interest expense and lease payments and reducing our funds available for capital investment, operations or other purposes. In addition, a substantial portion of our cash flow must be used to service our debt, which may affect our ability to capital expenditures.

Our patents may not be adequate or enforceable and others may use our proprietary technology.

We have applied for and have received four patents related to the fully integrated engine design that we use in our Gas Jack® compressors. It is our understanding that our patents are narrowly drafted. We can offer no assurances, however, that these patents will be enforceable. In addition, we know of one fabricator using a design, for which he also obtained a patent, that is similar to our patented design. If the protection of our intellectual property proves to be inadequate, others may use our proprietary developments without compensating us and in competition against us, giving cost advantages to our competitors.

Our success depends on key members of our management team, the loss of whom could disrupt our business.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management, operations, engineering, sales and marketing, customer support, finance and manufacturing personnel. We are particularly dependent on Brooks Mims Talton, our Chief Executive Officer. Currently, we are in the process of obtaining a $1.0 million key employee policy on Mr. Talton. However, do not have yet have such a policy in place and we cannot offer any assurances that we will be able to obtain one on agreeable economic terms. Furthermore, we do not maintain and do not intend to obtain key employee life insurance for any of our other employees. The departure of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, we believe that our success depends on our ability to attract and retain additional qualified employees. If we fail to recruit other skilled personnel, we could be unable to compete effectively.

We are a holding company and rely on our subsidiaries for operating income.

We are a holding company and, as such, we derive all of our operating income from our operating subsidiaries. We do not have any significant assets other than the equity of our operating subsidiaries. Consequently, we are dependent on the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries to meet our obligations and pay dividends. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that are not legally obligated to make funds available to us. We cannot assure you that our subsidiaries will be able to, or be permitted to, pay to us amounts necessary to meet our obligations or to pay dividends.

A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of us because of the anti-takeover provisions in our charter and bylaws.

There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of us, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your shares at a premium to the market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. For example, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. If our board of directors elects to issue preferred stock, it could be more difficult for a third party to acquire us. In addition, provisions of our certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. Delaware corporation law may also discourage takeover attempts that have not been approved by our board of directors.

INDEMNIFICATION

The Delaware Supreme Court has held that directors' duty of care to a corporation and its stockholders requires the exercise of an informed business judgment. Having become informed of all material information reasonably available to them, directors must act with requisite care in the discharge of their duties. The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation through its certificate of incorporation to exonerate or indemnify its directors from personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty of care as a director, with certain exceptions. The Companies have adopted these exoneration and indemnification provisions in the Delaware General Corporation Law in their respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws. The exceptions include a breach of the director's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, improper declarations of dividends, and transaction from which the directors derived an improper personal benefit. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation exonerates its directors, acting in such capacity, from monetary liability to the extent permitted by this statutory provision. The limitation of liability provision does not eliminate a stockholder's right to seek non-monetary, equitable remedies such as an injunction or recision to redress an action taken by directors. However, as a practical matter, equitable remedies may not be available in all situations, and there may be instances in which no effective remedy is available.

The extent to which the indemnification provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Companies' certificates of incorporation and bylaws provide indemnification to officers and directors for violations of the federal securities laws has not been settled by court precedent. The Companies understand that, in the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is unenforceable.

ITEM 10.

OPTION GRANTS

The following table sets forth information regarding options granted to the named executive officer during the year ended December 31, 2000.

NAME ---------	NUMBER OF OPTIONS GRANTED ---------------	PERCENT OF TOTAL OPTIONS GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES IN YEAR -------------	EXERCISE PRICE ($/SHARE) --------------	EXPIRATION DATE --------	POTENTIAL REALIZABLE VALUE AT ASSUMED ANNUAL RATES OF STOCK PRICE APPRECIATION FOR OPTION TERM -------------------
NAME ---------	NUMBER OF OPTIONS GRANTED ---------------		EXERCISE PRICE ($/SHARE) --------------	EXPIRATION DATE --------	5% ------	10% ------

Brooks Mims Talton....	--	--	--	--	--	--

The percent of total options granted to employees in the above table is based on 15,250 options granted to employees in this period.

Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock, as determined by our board of directors on the date of grant. In making this determination, the board of directors considered a number of factors, including:

•	our historical and prospective future revenue and profitability;
•	our cash balance and rate of cash consumption;
•	the development and size of the market for our services;
•	the status of our financing activities;
•	the stability of our management team; and
•	the breadth of our service offerings.

The amounts reflected in the "Potential Realizable Value" column of the foregoing table are calculated assuming that the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by the board of directors appreciates at the indicated annual rate compounded annually for the entire term of the option, and that the option is exercised and the common stock received therefor is sold on the last day of the term of the option for the appreciated price. The 5% and 10% rates of appreciation are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent our estimate or projection of future increases in the price of the common stock.

2000 OPTION EXERCISES AND YEAR-END OPTION VALUES

The following table sets forth information concerning the value realized upon exercise of options during 2000 and the number and value of unexercised options held by the named executive officers at December 31, 2000. The value of the unexercised in-the-money options is based on the fair market value of our common stock as of December 31, 2000, determined by the board of directors in the manner discussed above to be $30.00 per share, minus the per share exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the option.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Consulting Agreement

The Company has an oral agreement with Jerry W. Jarrell, a director, to provide consulting services to the Company. The agreement, which commenced on January 1, 1995, and was renewed in 1997 and 1999, currently provides for $2,000 compensation per month and expires in October 2001. See "Stock Option Plan" below.

Purchases of Subordinated Notes

Certain directors, officers and 5% stockholders purchased the Company's 13% subordinated promissory notes in our offering of such securities in December 2000. All such persons purchased on the same terms and conditions as the other investors in the offering. Mr. Keenan, Mr. Koerner, Mr. Lundy, Mr. Rettig and Mr. Jarrell purchased $750,000, $500,000, $350,000, $150,000 and $100,000 of principal amount of notes, respectively.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with our offering of 13% subordinated promissory notes, Mr. Keenan, Mr. Koerner, Mr. Lundy, Mr. Rettig and Mr. Jarrell received warrants to purchase 6,300, 4,200, 2,940, 1,260 and 840 shares of common stock, respectively. The Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each investor, including each of such persons. Under the terms of the agreement, these warrantholders have the right to require the Company to register the sale of all of the common stock exercised pursuant to the warrants upon the earlier of (i) June 30, 2002 and (ii) 180 days after the consummation of an underwritten public offering of our capital stock. The holders are entitled to one to one registration required by the holders of a majority of the outstanding warrants covering all or part of the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants (but in no event for less than 50% of all such shares). Holders of such common stock are also entitled to "piggy-back" registration rights prior to December 31, 2003. Holders of a majority of the outstanding warrants may bind all of the warrantholders to a lock-up agreement related to an underwritten public offering.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company, by resolution of its Board of Directors and stockholders, adopted a 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") on February 16, 1993. The Plan enables each Company to offer an incentive based compensation system to employees, officers and directors and to employees of companies who do business with the Company.

In the discretion of a committee comprised of non-employee directors (the "Committee"), directors, officers, and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or employees of companies with which the Company does business become participants in the Plan upon receiving grants in the form of stock options or restricted stock. A total of 2,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which 30,500 shares are issuable under options granted to officers, directors and key employees at December 31, 2000. The Company may increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan or may make other material modifications to the Plan without shareholder approval. However, no amendment may change the existing rights of any option holder.

Any shares which are subject to an award but are not used because the terms and conditions of the award are not met, or any shares which are used by participants to pay all or part of the purchase price of any option may again be used for awards under the Plan. However, shares with respect to which a stock appreciation right has been exercised may not again be made subject to an award.

Stock options may be granted as non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, but incentive stock options may not be granted at a price less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock as of the date of grant; non-qualified stock options may not be granted at a price less than 85% of fair market value of the stock as of the date of grant. Restricted stock may not be granted under the Plan in connection with incentive stock options.

Stock options may be exercised during a period of time fixed by the Committee except that no stock option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant or three years after death or disability, whichever is later. In the discretion of the Committee, payment of the purchase price for the shares of stock acquired through the exercise of a stock option may be made in cash, shares of the Company's Common Stock or by delivery of recourse promissory notes or a combination of notes, cash and shares of the Company's Common Stock or a combination thereof. Incentive stock options may only be issued to directors, officers and employees of the Company.

Stock options granted under the Plan may include the right to acquire an Accelerated Ownership Non-Qualified Stock Option ("AO"). If an option grant contains the AO feature and if a participant pays all or part of the purchase price of the option with shares of the Company's Common Stock, then upon exercise of the option the participant is granted an AO to purchase, at the fair market value as of the date of the AO grant, the number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the sum of the number of whole shares used by the participant in payment of the purchase price and the number of whole shares, if any, withheld by the Company as payment for withholding taxes. An AO may be exercised between the date of grant and the date of expiration, which will be the same as the date of expiration of the option to which the AO is related.

Stock appreciation rights and/or restricted stock may be granted in conjunction with, or may be unrelated to stock options. A stock appreciation right entitles a participant to receive a payment, in cash or common stock or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise over the fair market value as of the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be exercised during a period of time fixed by the Committee not to exceed ten years after the date of grant or three years after death or disability, whichever is later.

Restricted stock requires the recipient to continue in service as an officer, director, employee or consultant for a fixed period of time for ownership of the shares to vest. If restricted shares or stock appreciation rights are issued in tandem with options, the restricted stock or stock appreciation right is canceled upon exercise of the option and the option will likewise terminate upon vesting of the restricted shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Compressco, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Compressco, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Compressco, Inc. as of December 31, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000 and for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

COMPRESSCO, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION:

Compressco, Inc, formerly Emerging Alpha Corporation, (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of creating a corporate vehicle to seek, investigate and, if the results of such investigations warrant, acquire business opportunities. Since its inception, the primary activity of the Company has been devoted to organizational activities and obtaining initial funding. Upon investigation and analysis by the Company's management, the Company decided to enter certain segments of the natural gas industry including equipment manufacturing, compression services and production of natural gas reserves.

On October 29, 1999, the Company purchased all outstanding shares of the capital stock of Gas Jack Inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("Gas Jack"), for $2.7 million and all outstanding units of GJ Measurement, an Oklahoma L.L.C., ("GJ Measurement") in exchange for 33,333 shares of the Company's common stock. Both acquisitions, which are discussed in more detail in Note 4, were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Subsequent to the acquisition, both Gas Jack and GJ Measurement are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company changed its fiscal year-end from March 31 to December 31. In 2000 the name of Gas Jack was changed to Compressco Field Services, Inc. and the name of GJ Measurement was changed to Compressco Testing L.L.C.

The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacture, rental and service of natural gas compressors that provide economical well head compression to mature, low pressure natural gas wells. The Company's compressors are currently sold and leased to natural gas producers located primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and New Mexico. Compressco Testing L.L.C. is a natural gas measurement, testing and service company, based in Oklahoma City, that began operations in September 1999.

In January 2000 the Company established a wholly owned energy production subsidiary, Providence Natural Gas, Inc., ("Providence") to acquire certain pressure depleted reservoirs, having key reservoir characteristics known to be receptive to well-head compression. The Company plans to install compressors at the sites to enhance production and then market and sell the natural gas. Since its inception, Providence has acquired interests in one natural gas well.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, and for the nine months ending December 31, 1999, that include the accounts and operations as of and for the period from October 29, 1999 to December 31,1999, for Gas Jack and GJ Measurement. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist primarily of compressor components and parts, and work-in-progress, and are stated at the lower of cost or market using average cost.

F-7

NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company has financed the sale of several compressors through the issuance of notes receivable secured by a lien on the compressor. The notes are for two years with interest rates ranging from 10 to 12 percent. The Company recognizes the sale and gain from the sale upon delivery of the compressor to the customer. The total amount of receivable under these notes is approximately $79,000 as of December 31, 2000.

OTHER ASSETS

The Company includes in other assets deferred financing costs of approximately $90,000 related to the subordinated promissory notes and bank revolver facility. These costs are being amortized on a straight line basis over the three-year life of the related financing.

COMPRESSORS, VEHICLES, EQUIPMENT AND OTHER PROPERTY

Compressors include units currently being rented and available for rent. Compressors, vehicles and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

	Compressors	12 years
	Vehicles	5 years
	Equipment and other	7 years

Effective July 1, 2000, the Company changed its estimate of the useful life and salvage value of its compressors for purposes of computing depreciation. The estimated useful life and salvage value of its compressors was changed from seven years with no salvage value to 12 years with a 10% salvage value. Based upon the Company's data relating to the service history of its compressor fleet, the Company believes that the new estimated useful life and salvage value more accurately reflects the service life of its compressor fleet. The change is accounted for prospectively. The effect of the change in accounting estimate was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Depreciation expense was decreased by	$	290,696
Net loss decreased by	$	180,232
Basic loss per share decreased by	$	1.30

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue on the sale of compressors and parts is recorded upon shipment. The Company rents compressors to customers on terms ranging from two weeks to one year. As of December 31, 2000, all rental agreements are cancellable within 30 days written notice by the customer. Certain of the rental agreements provide that in case of early cancellation by the customer increased rental payments are due for the previous periods the customer rented the compressor. Revenues from rental and service agreements are recorded as earned over the lives of the respective contracts.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities

F-8

are computed using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable benefit for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred taxes are classified as current or noncurrent, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the period in which the temporary differences are expected to be used. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. The weighted-average number of shares used to compute earnings (loss) per common share was 138,851 for the year ending December 31, 2000, and 49,526 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. The effect of outstanding stock options and stock warrants is not shown as their effects would be anti-dilutive.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company operates in one business segment pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 those estimates.

3. INVENTORIES:

Inventories consist of the following at December 31, 2000:

	Components and parts	$1,395,808
	Work-in-progress	575,087
		-------------
		$1,970,895

In addition, on October 29, 1999, the Company acquired all outstanding units of GJ Measurement in exchange for 33,333 shares of the Company's common stock. Both acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company did not recognize any goodwill as a result of these acquisitions.

A summary of the values assigned to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and equity securities issued in connection with these acquisitions, is as follows:

F-10

(a)	On December 22, 2000, the Company offered an issue of 13% subordinated promissory notes and stock warrants (see Note 11) to qualified private investors. At December 31, 2000, $5,250,000 of the subordinated promissory notes were issued. Of the $5,250,000 in proceeds, $100,000 was allocated to the stock warrants. An additional $250,000 of the subordinated promissory notes have been issued subsequent to December 31, 2000. The notes are subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and rank subordinate to all existing indebtedness of the Company. The Notes mature on the earlier of (1) the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Company's capital stock or (2) December 31, 2003. The Company may, at any time prepay any part of the principal balance on the Notes, in increments of $10,000, without premium or penalty prior to maturity. Interest is payable at 13% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears commencing on March 31, 2001.
(b)	On October 29, 1999, the Company borrowed $2,800,000 under a term loan agreement with a bank. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.8%. Principal payments of $46,667 plus accrued interest are due monthly until maturity on October 30, 2004 The loan is secured with the assets and compressor leases of the Company and a personal guarantee of the Company's President.
(c)	On October 29, 1999, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with a bank. Under the agreement, as amended December 28, 2000, the Company can borrow the lesser of $7,500,000 or the sum of 80% of the aggregate amount of eligible receivables, plus 50% of the aggregate amount of eligible inventory, plus 85% of the appraised value of compressors fabricated since acquisition of the business on October 29, 1999. The line of credit bears interest at Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (9.5% at December 31, 2000). Interest is due monthly with all outstanding borrowings due at maturity on December 27, 2003. The loan is secured with the assets and compressor leases of the Company and a personal guarantee of the Company's President. The Company's credit facility imposes a number of financial and restrictive covenants that among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens and pay dividends. At December 31, 2000, the Company was in violation of its Debt to EBITDA coverage ratio covenant. Subsequent to year-end, the Company has received a waiver from its lender for this covenant violation. In addition, the Company's lender has amended the Debt to EBITDA coverage ratio for the period ending March 31, 2001. Management expects that the Company will be in compliance with the revised covenants under the amended credit facility throughout 2001. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, all outstanding borrowings under the line of credit were repaid from a portion of the subordinated promissory notes proceeds.

The annual maturities of long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2000, are as follows:

2001	$	562,218
2002		560,012
2003		6,857,689
2004		466,629
		----------
Total	$	8,446,548

Unless otherwise noted, the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt based on market prices or on the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturity.

In addition, as a result of the acquisitions the Company eliminated its previously recorded valuation allowance of $2,945 as part of the purchase accounting.

At December 31, 2000, the Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $574,000 which will begin to expire in 2011.

F-12

7. STOCK OWNERSHIP AND INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS:

The Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2 million shares of common stock at no less than 85% of market value at the time of grant (for non-qualified options) and no less than 110% of market value for incentive stock options.

A summary of the Company's stock options as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and changes during the periods ended on those dates is presented below:

	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at March 31, 1999	6,300	$14.05
Granted	19,000	$15.00
Exercised	(6,300)	$14.05
Outstanding at December 31, 1999	19,000	$15.00
Granted	15,250	$20.90
Canceled	(3,750)	$15.00
Outstanding at December 31, 2000	30,500	$17.95
Exercisable at December 31, 2000	None

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," effective for the Company at March 31, 1997. Under SFAS 123, companies can either record expense based on the fair value of stock-based compensation upon issuance or elect to remain under the current APB Opinion No. 25 method whereby no compensation cost is recognized upon grant. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan under APB Opinion No. 25. Entities electing to remain with the accounting in APB Opinion No. 25 must make disclosures as if SFAS 123 had been applied. The disclosure requirements of this Statement are effective for options granted in fiscal 1996 and later.

The SFAS No 123 method of accounting is based on several assumptions and should not be viewed as indicative of the operations of the Company in future periods. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2000 and 1999, respectively as follows:

	2000	1999
Interest rate	6.40%	6.29%
Dividend yield	0.00%	0.00%
Expected volatility	110.00%	110.00%
Expected life	6 years	6 years

The weighted average fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for 2000 and 1999, respectively is as follows:

	2000		1999
Black-Scholes model weighted
average fair value option price	$15.03	$8.20

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its fixed price stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost for options has been recognized in the financial statements. The chart below sets forth the Company's net income and loss per share for year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, as reported and on a pro forma basis as if the compensation cost of stock options had been determined consistent with SFAS 123.

	Pro forma		(.39)		(.13)

Diluted loss per share is not shown as the effect would be anti-dultive.

8. RELATED PARTIES:

Certain directors and their family members purchased a total of $1,550,000 of the subordinated promissory notes including 13,020 stock warrants from the offering made to private investors in December 2000. The directors and their family members purchased the Notes and Warrants under the same terms and conditions as all other investors.

Certain officers and directors are compensated based on actual time and expenses devoted to the Company's business. During the nine months ended December 31, 1999, and the year ended December 31, 2000, a consulting fee of $750 per month was paid to the Company's chief financial officer. This consulting fee was increased to $2,000 per month effective November 1, 1999.

9. COMMITMENTS:

PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

The Company entered into a purchase agreement on December 14, 2000, with a supplier to purchase 1,000 compressor engines by December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2000 the Company has taken delivery of 47 engines from the supplier. The purchase agreement provides that the Company's liability to the supplier for any failure to purchase the full amount of engines is limited to (i) pay for engines delivered, (ii) reasonable direct out of pocket cost incurred by the supplier in acquiring material for production of the number of engines contemplated by the agreement and (iii) the reasonable costs incurred by the supplier for work in progress at the time of termination of the agreement including labor costs and reasonable quantities of parts and materials ordered by the supplier.

FACILITIES LEASES

The Company has a month-to-month lease for its manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities.

VEHICLE LEASES

The Company leases certain vehicles with original terms ranging up to two years. As of December 31, 2000, future annual minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases were approximately $203,000 for 2001 and $111,000 for 2002.

10. MAJOR CUSTOMERS:

11 STOCK WARRANTS:

In connection with the offering of the subordinated promissory notes discussed in Note 5, the Company issued stock warrants to purchase 420 shares of the Company's common stock per every $50,000 amount of Notes purchased. The warrants have an exercise price of $120 per share. At December 31, 2000 total stock warrants of 44,100 had been issued and additional warrants of 2,100 were issued subsequent to December 31, 2000. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance, and expire on December 31, 2003.

The Company obtained a valuation as to the amount to be assigned to the warrants from the total proceeds received from the issuance of the subordinated promissory notes. Based on the valuation estimate, the value assigned to the warrants is $100,000. This amount is shown as outstanding warrants in stockholders' equity and as a discount to the subordinated promissory notes. The discount will be amortized over the three-year life of the stock warrants as additional interest expense. The effective interest rate on the Notes is 13.84% when the value of the warrants is taken into consideration.

The value was determined using the Valrex model, which is an option valuation model that uses established option pricing theory to price nontrading options and warrants.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Gas Jack Inc. (the "Company"), an Oklahoma corporation, engaged in the manufacturing of the Gas Jack Compressor that provides economical well head compression to mature, low pressure natural gas wells. The compressors are currently sold and leased to natural gas producers primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and New Mexico.

On October 29, 1999, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Emerging Alpha Corporation ("Emerging Alpha") and the stockholders of the Company, Emerging Alpha acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

COMPRESSORS, VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

Leased units include those compressors currently being leased and available for lease. Leased units, vehicles and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

	Gas Jack Compressors	7 years
	Vehicles	5 years
	Other Equipment	7 years

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales revenue is recorded upon shipment of sold compressors. Revenues from lease and service agreements are recorded as earned over the lives of the respective contracts.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities ("temporary differences") using the enacted marginal tax rate.

3. STOCK OWNERSHIP AND INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS:

During 1992, the Company implemented a Stock Ownership Plan (the "Ownership Plan") to reward employees for their service to the Company. Under the Ownership Plan, 80,000 shares of $0.10 par value common stock were awarded to the employees on July 1, 1992, by the Board of Directors, with a four-year vesting period. As of October 29, 1999, 80,000 shares were vested under the Ownership Plan. According to the Ownership Plan, all shares vested were callable or putable within one year after the employee's termination, based on the book value per share, as determined by the quarter ended immediately preceding the exercise of the call or put.

The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") and has reserved 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock $.10 par value for issuance under the Option Plan. The Option Plan limits participation to employees, and the option exercise price is established by the Board of Directors at a price not less than 100% of the fair value of the stock on the date of grant for employees who own less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company. The option exercise price for options granted to employees who own more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company is established by the Board of Directors at a price not less than 110% of the fair value of the stock on the date of grant, and such granted options expire five years from the date of grant. The maximum aggregate fair value of common stock for which any employee may be granted options which are exercisable for the first time in any one calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. Options granted under the Option Plan are exercisable at such times as the Board of Directors shall determine, and the option period shall not be for more than ten years from the date of grant. No options shall be granted after 2002.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its stock ownership and option plans, as permitted by SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS 123 requires disclosure of pro forma net income as if the Company had adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS 123. No such disclosure has been provided as there were no options nor shares granted under the Ownership Plan or Option Plan for the period ended October 29, 1999.
