                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Presentation of Interim Information

In the  opinion  of the  management  of Houston  Operating  Company,  Inc.,  the
accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  include  all normal  adjustments
considered  necessary to present  fairly the financial  position as of March 31,
2001,  and the results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 2001
and cash flows for the three months  ended March 31, 2001 . Interim  results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The financial  statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q, and
do not contain  certain  information  which  would be included in the  Company's
audited financial statements and notes .

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS RESULT OF OPERATION FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH
31, 2001 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company had no revenues or  operations  for the period in 2001 or 2000.  The
Company  incurred  $29 in  miscellaneous  expenses in the quarter in 2001 and no
expenses in the quarter in 2000.  The net loss for the quarter was ($29) in 2001
and $0 in 2000.  Loss per  share  was  nominal  in 2001 and none in 2000 for the
quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company does not have capital  sufficient to meet the Company's  cash needs,
including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting  requirements of
the  Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will have to seek loans or
equity  placements to cover such cash needs.  In the event the Company isable to
complete a business combination during this period, lack of its existing capital
may be a  sufficient  impediment  to prevent it from  accomplishing  the goal of
completing a business combination.  There is no assurance, however, that without
funds it will ultimately  allow  registrant to complete a business  combination.
Once a business  combination  is completed,  the Company's  needs for additional
financing are likely to increase substantially.

Irrespective of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet
the Company's  operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers
of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
