(b) Reports on Form 8-K
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. However, a considerable amount of payables and
debt were paid in the third quarter of 1996. 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 gain for the first nine months of 1996 amounted to
$398,672.48, compared to a gain for the first nine months
of 1995 in the amount of $545,055.00.
Profits and losses for the first nine months of 1996 and
1995 came from:

Snow King Resort, Inc. 414,547 553,814
Western Recreation Corporation ( 25) ( 25)
$ 398,673 $ 545,055
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.
