Business/Energy Editors

John W. Adair, chairman and chief executive officer of Adair International Oil & Gas Inc. (OTCBB:AIGI), announced today additional information relating to the upcoming shareholders meeting. The board of directors of Adair is involved in a proxy contest with a group of former employees.

The board of directors of Adair delayed the annual meeting from July 15, 2002 until July 26, 2002 to allow for the solicitation of proxies and the return of a greater percentage of the vote from our shareholders. The meeting will be held on Friday, July 26, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. Houston time, in the Chase Center Auditorium (Downtown), 610 Travis, Houston, Texas 77002. New proxy materials, including a blue proxy card to vote for the management of Adair, will be sent to the shareholders on or before the week of July 22, 2002.

The board recommends that you discard the gold proxy card sent to you by the SCORE Group for the following reasons:

-- The SCORE Group is led by Mr. Richard W. Boyce, a former employee who resigned under threat of being terminated by the company.

-- Mr. Richard W. Boyce, a nominee by the SCORE Group for election to the board of directors, is a party adverse to the corporation in litigation relating to the Sabatain Block 20, Yemen Republic and could not represent the corporation's interest in such litigation.

-- Mr. Richard W. Boyce, a nominee by the SCORE Group, is a defendant in litigation filed by the corporation relating to his activities while he was an employee of the corporation and could not represent the corporation's interest in such litigation.

-- Mr. Boyce led an unsuccessful proxy fight during the previous shareholders meeting held on June 15, 2001, where the present management of John W. Adair and Jalal Alghani received approximately 97% of the votes.

-- All the projects the company presently has under development, including the 600 MW Teayawa Energy Center with Calpine in Southern California, Block 20 Exploration Block in the Republic of Yemen and the Cogeneration/Sugar Refinery with Arkel, were initiated by the present management.

"YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT: Carefully read the information in these proxy materials before making any decision regarding your vote. We recommend that you sign and return the enclosed new blue proxy card as soon as possible in the prepaid envelope provided. In the event that your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a nominee, return the proxy card included with these proxy materials to the brokerage account with your instructions to vote," stated Mr. John W. Adair, chairman and chief executive officer.
