Item 1. Changes in Control of Registrant

     On September 16, 2002, Vista Exploration Corporation repurchased a total of
4,400,000 shares of its common stock from 10 shareholders who had purchased
their shares in private placements conducted in April 2001, June 2001, December
2001 and January 2002. The prices paid for the shares by the company equaled the
prices paid by the shareholders when such shares were originally purchased from
the company. The company paid for the shares by issuing promissory notes in an
aggregate principal amount of $158,696.80. The purchases were made to facilitate
the company's application for a trading symbol.

     As a result of the repurchases, the number of issued and outstanding common
shares of the company decreased from 6,090,000 to 1,690,000. Consequently, the
percentage of shares owned by the company's sole officer and director increased
from 14.78% to 53.25% and the percentage ownership of the remaining shareholders
similarly increased.
