Form 8-K of April 15, 1996 was accepted on June 18, 1996.
303(b) 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
(a) ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Heavy startup and operating costs at the Snow King Resort
Center have created a heavy drain on Snow King Resort's
cash flow. In addition, less revenue at the Center was
received than expected. At times Snow King Resort has not
had sufficient cash flow to pay its creditors in a timely
manner. Principal and interest payments on loans are
current.
On April 15, 1996, Snow King Resort, Inc. refinanced its
loan with ORIX USA at a fixed interest rate of 10 1/8% for
five years. Part of the proceeds were used to pay other
debt. The amount of the new loan was $6,150,000.
Western Standard Corporation, the parent company, will
have sufficient funds to cover its expenses during 1996
from cash reserves, oil and gas royalties, interest, and
accounts receivable.
(c) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net loss for the first six months of 1996 amounted to
$433,668, compared to a loss for the first six months
of 1995 in the amount of $357,571.96.
Profits and losses for the first six months of 1996 and
1995 came from:

Western Recreation Corporation ( 25) ( 25)

</TABLE>
Snow conditions during the first quarter of 1996 were very
good and produced a small profit from mountain operations.
Food and beverage, and the Snow King Center also were
profitable. However, rooms and condominium rentals were
less profitable than in 1995.
