forth in its Annual Report to Stockholders and its Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Users of financial information
produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained
in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim financial results.

    In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements
contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation.  Certain reclassifications have
been made to amounts reported in previous periods to conform to the 1995
presentation.

(2)  Writedown of Properties

    The Company recorded a charge against earnings in the amount of $8,368,000
due to the early adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets...", which generally
requires a separate assessment for potential impairment of each of the
Company's producing property cost centers, in contrast to the Company's prior
policy of evaluating the producing property accounts for impairment in total.
The $8.4 million charge reduced the carrying value of a portion of the
Company's non-core properties to their estimated fair values, which management
has determined to be the discounted future net cash flows of the properties.

(3)  Income Taxes

    In 1992, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (the
"Statement").  The Statement was adopted by the Company effective as of January
1, 1993.  The Statement requires a balance sheet approach to the calculation of
deferred income taxes.  The Statement provides for, among other things, the
recognition of deferred tax assets under certain circumstances.  The Company
has significant net operating loss carryforwards and, therefore, calculated a
net deferred tax asset upon adoption of the Statement.  However, due to the
Company's history of net operating losses, a valuation allowance was recorded
equal to the amount of the net deferred tax asset.

    Based on recent additions to the Company's oil and gas reserves and the
resulting increases in anticipated future income and the absence of significant
option plan compensation charges to future income, the Company now expects to
realize a major portion of the future benefit of its net operating loss
carryforwards prior to their expiration.  Accordingly, that portion of the
valuation allowance was reversed in the first quarter.  A valuation allowance 
of approximately $10.0 million will be retained against the Company's deferred 
tax assets, primarily because the Company's investment tax credit carryforwards
are still not expected to be realized in future periods.

    At March 31, 1995, the Company had investment tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $6.2 million and net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $71.8 million.  The carryforwards will expire between 1995 and
2004.  Additionally, the Company has approximately $3.7 million of statutory
depletion carryforwards and $.25 million of AMT credit carryforwards that may
be carried forward indefinitely.

                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

    The factors which most significantly affect the Company's results of
operations are (1) the sales prices of natural gas and crude oil, (2) the level
of total sales volumes and (3) the level and success of exploration and
development activity.

</TABLE>

Revenues

  During the three month period ended March 31, 1995, revenues from natural gas
and oil production increased $.1 million to $4.9 million compared to the same
period in 1994.  An increase in natural gas sales volumes of 24% increased
revenues by approximately $.7 million.  A decrease in average natural gas prices
received by the Company from $1.89 per Mcf to $1.34 per Mcf decreased revenues
by approximately $1.1 million.  An increase in oil sales volumes of 31%
increased revenues by approximately $.3 million and an increase in the average
crude oil sales price from $13.06 per Bbl to $16.18 per Bbl increased revenues
by approximately $.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

  The increase in gas sales volumes for the three months ended March 31, 1995
compared to the same period in 1994 is due primarily to increased production in
the Company's Val Verde Basin of west Texas.  The Company continued to
voluntarily curtail its gas production in the Wind River Basin of Wyoming and
curtailed 40% of such production in the first quarter.  The increase in crude
oil production for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same
period in 1994 is also due to additional wells in the Val Verde Basin.

  Marketing, gathering and processing and other revenues remained relatively
unchanged from the three month period one year ago.

                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Costs and Expenses

  Costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased to
$18.8 million from $8.9 million for the same period in 1994, primarily as a
result of an $8.4 million writedown of non-strategic properties due to the
early adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets...", which generally
requires a separate assessment for potential impairment of each of the
Company's producing property cost centers, in contrast to the Company's prior
policy of evaluating the producing property accounts for impairment in total.
The $8.4 million charge reduced the carrying value of a portion of the
Company's non-core properties to their estimated fair values.  Gas and oil
production expenses increased 6% due to additional wells in the Val Verde
Basin.  Taxes on gas and oil production decreased 13% as increased gas and oil
sales in Texas, where the Company incurs a relatively low production tax rate,
represented a greater percentage of the Company's gas and oil revenues during
the first quarter of 1995 as compared to 1994.  Exploration costs increased
from $.2 million to $1.6 million due to the cost of an exploratory dry hole
expensed in the first quarter of 1995.  Impairments of leasehold costs
decreased $.3 million due to a lessor amount of expirations in 1995 of
non-producing leases than in 1994. Option plan compensation expense decreased
as all options with cash payment rights were exchanged for nonqualified stock
options by March 31, 1994.  An additional $.1 million in total will be
recognized in 1995 and 1996.

  The Company recognized in the first quarter of 1995 a net deferred tax asset
in the amount of $13,967,000 and corresponding credit to deferred income tax
expense.  Deferred tax assets (related primarily to the Company's net operating
loss and investment tax credit carryforwards) were initially recorded in 1993,
but these tax assets had been reserved entirely by a valuation allowance up
until 1995.  Based on recent additions to the Company's oil and gas reserves,
the resulting increases in anticipated future income and the absence of
significant option plan compensation charges to future income, the Company now
expects to realize a major portion of the future benefit of its net operating
loss carryforwards prior to their expiration.  Accordingly, that portion of the
valuation allowance was reversed in the first quarter.  A valuation allowance
of approximately $10.0 million will be retained against the Company's deferred
tax assets, primarily because the Company's investment tax credit carryforwards
are still not expected to be realized in future periods.  The deferred tax
assets and related valuation allowance will be monitored for potential
adjustments as future events so indicate, although management does not expect
such adjustments to be significant in the near term.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

  The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1994 were approximately $7.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively.  The
majority of the first quarter 1995 expenditures were for the continued
development of the Val Verde Basin as seven wells were in various stages of
drilling and completion at quarter end. The Company will continue the
development of its reserves in the Wind River Basin throughout the year with
the drilling of thirteen wells.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

  The Company has historically funded capital expenditures and working capital
requirements with internally generated cash and borrowings.  During the three
months ended March 31, 1995, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.8
million as compared to $4.3 million in the same period of 1994.
