the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
August 31, 2000 and for all the periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally

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 management decided to abandon the
Company's original business plan of developing and pursuing
patent protection for novelty items for the photographic
industry. The Company also intends to manufacture and market its
inventions and seeks a merger or acquisition with an existing
business.
The following is a condensed proforma statement of operations
that reflects what the presentation would have been for the year
ended August 31, 2000 and 1999 and from inception on June 4, 1995

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL STOCK [Continued]
On July 31, 2000, the Company's president, director and majority
shareholder as well as the Company's 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 president and the
secretary. The terms of the agreement required the present
officers and directors to resign and appoint Mr. Piacentini as
Sole officer and director.
On August 7, 2000 the shareholders amended the article of
incorporation increasing the authorized common shares, par value
$.001, from 25,000,000 to 100,000,000.
During August, 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 of the Company and reducing Piacentini's
ownership to 29%.
During August 2000, the Company issued 40,000 share of common
stock to employees of the Company in lieu of cash compensation
valued at $400.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Contribution Capital - A former shareholder of the Company
forgave the Company of $2,164 in advances.
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.
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, 2000, the Company has
available unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$25,400, which August be applied against future taxable income
and which expire in 2019 through 2000.
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 $8,600 as of August 31, 2000, with an
offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount resulting in a
change in the valuation allowance of approximately $800 for the
nine months ended August 31, 2000.

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. 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 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During September 2000, a venture capital group loaned the Company
$25,000. The unsecured convertible note payable bears interest
at 18%, is due March 1, 2001, and is convertible into common
stock of the Company at $1.00 per share.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation.
Gold & Green, Inc. (herein, the "Issuer", the "Registrant"
or the "Company") conducted an offering of its securities
pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 504 during October 1998. The
Issuer's initial business plan involved the development,
manufacture and marketing of novelty devices pertaining to the
automotive industry. The first product was a novelty decorative
seat belt cover, which was advertised for sale in nine local
Brooklyn newspapers; no sales resulted from these advertisements.
As a result, the Management determined that the Company should
become a "public shell". However, subsequently, the Board met
again and re-examined its options and decided that increased
advertising, as well as execution of a contract with a
photographic agency for silk-screening of photos, might bring the
Company some revenues. In April 2000, advertisements were placed
in thirteen local Brooklyn newspapers, and the advertisement also
appeared on the Website of The Times Ledger. The results of these
advertisements proved unsuccessful. The Board met again and re-
examined its options and decided that and the Company must pursue
a merger or acquisition with another on going business; In July
2000, two (2) of the majority shareholders sold there controlling
interest in the Company and resigned as Officers and Directors of
the Company. At this point the newly appointed Officers and
Directors commenced development of the Company's new Business
Plan. Pursuant to a meeting of the new Board of Directors, the
Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Royal Energy
Corporation ("ROYAL"). Whereas the initial business of ROYAL will
be to develop and operate a business-to-business energy concern
that brokers and markets electricity, natural gas and other
energy products and services.
Plan of Operation
Royal Energy Corp. ("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 by December 2001 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, 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.

Thomas Gordon 48 Director of Sales
DR. JOHN N. O'BRIEN is President, Chief Executive Officer and
Director of Royal Energy Corp. Dr. O'Brien has over twenty years
of experience in the energy regulatory and business fields. His
expertise began in the regulation of nuclear facilities then
moving into the regulation of natural gas during the deregulation
of that industry and finally into the electric 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
