                      MANAGEMENT'S' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                       OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


(1)  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash and cash equivalents decreased  $241,000 from November 30, 1994 to
     August  31, 1995.    The decrease  was  due to  additions  to property  and
     equipment, both foreign and domestic.

     At August 31,  1995, the  Company's working capital  position was  positive
     with  total current  assets of  $280,000 and  total current  liabilities of
     $163,000  for a working capital ratio  of 1.7 to 1.   The Company's primary
     source of capital is from oil and gas sales.

     The  Company has  a  45% beneficial  ownership  interest in  Central  Asian
     Petroleum Guernsey Limited ("CAP-G").  CAP-G has a 50% beneficial ownership
     interest  in Karakuduk-Munay, Inc.  ("KKM"), the operating  company for the
     development of  the Karakuduk Field.   On August 30, 1995,  the Ministry of
     Oil and Gas  Industries of the  Republic of Kazakstan signed  the Agreement
     approving the development of the Karakuduk Field.  The Company, through its
     45%  beneficial  ownership  interest  in  CAP-G,  has  a  22.5%  beneficial
     ownership interest  in the Karakuduk Field.   CAP-G's share of  the initial
     capitalization of KKM is $100,000.  The  Company's share, $45,000, has been
     paid. 

     By November  28, 1995, the Company,  in order to retain  its 45% beneficial
     ownership interest in CAP-G, must commit to fund $4,000,000 to  be used for
     the Company's  share of KKM's  operating budget  for the remainder  of 1995
     ($695,000) and 1996 (estimated to  be $5,385,000).  The Company is  working
     with a New York investment banking firm that has expressed its intention to
     obtain for the Company funding for  this commitment.  However, there are no
     assurances the Company will obtain the necessary funding.  

     The Company's  share of  the 1995  budget for CAP-G  is $136,125,  of which
     $135,000 has been paid to CAP-G to date.  The 1996 budget for CAP-G has not
     been submitted as of this time.

     If, by  November 28, 1995,   the Company  is unable to  commit to  fund the
     $4,000,000, then the Company's beneficial ownership interest in CAP-G would
     be  reduced to 25%  and the Company's beneficial  ownership interest in the
     Karakuduk Field  would be reduced  to 12.5%.   The Company's  share of  the
     operating  budget for KKM for the remainder  of 1995 would then be $173,750
     and the Company's estimated share of the 1996 KKM operating budget would be
     $2,992,000.   If  the Company  is unable  to meet  these reduced  financial
     requirements,  it would relinquish the  balance of its beneficial ownership
     interest in CAP-G and the Karakuduk Field.

     The  Company has  substantially depleted its  working capital  resources to
     obtain its beneficial  ownership interests  in CAP-G and  KKM.  Should  the
     Company  be unable to meet  the financial requirements  described above, it
     will be necessary for the Company to reduce its overhead,  staff, and other
     expenses in  order to remain in operation.  There are no assurances that if
     such reductions in the Company's operating costs occur that it will be able
     to remain in operation.

     As a  result of the  signing of  the Agreement for  the development of  the
     Karakuduk  Field, the former shareholders  of Central Asian Petroleum, Inc.
     ("CAP-D")  are entitled  to  have released  from  escrow 1,000,000  of  the
     4,250,000  shares of the Company's restricted common stock placed in escrow
     in April,  1995 when the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding stock of
     CAP-D  in a  tax  free exchange.    CAP-D has  a  20% beneficial  ownership
     interest  in CAP-G.   The 1,000,000 shares  will be released  to the former
     shareholders of CAP-D at such time as they agree upon the number of shares 
     each is  to receive.   The remaining 3,250,000 shares will be held in 
     escrow pending the occurrence of certain events relative to the funding and
     development of the Karakuduk Field.

     The Company  has no other material  commitments for cash outlay  or capital
     expenditures other than for normal operations.  

(2)  Results of Operations

     Nine Months Ended August 31, 1995 vs. August 31, 1994

     The  Company's operations resulted  in net income  of $17,000  for the nine
     months ended August 31,  1995 compared to a net loss  of $45,000 during the
     same period in 1994.

     Revenues from  oil and gas sales  decreased 31.5% due to  lower natural gas
     prices and certain producing properties being shut-in due to pricing.

     Costs  and expenses decreased 43.6%.   Production costs  decreased 51.6% as
     certain  producing properties were shut-in due to lower natural gas prices.
     Depreciation  and  depletion  decreased  33.6%  due  to  reduced  depletion
     expenses as a result of the write-down of oil and gas properties  at fiscal
     year end November  30, 1994.   General and  administrative costs  decreased
     41.5%  due  to  increased  capitalization  of  costs  related  to   foreign
     activities during  the nine months  ended August 31,  1995 compared to  the
     same period during 1994.  

     Three Months Ended August 31, 1995 vs. August 31, 1995

     The Company's operations resulted  in net income  of $27,000 for the  three
     months ended August  31, 1995 compared to net income  of $33,000 during the
     same period in 1994.

     Revenues from  oil and gas sales  decreased 32.6% due to  lower natural gas
     prices and certain producing properties being shut-in due to pricing.

     Costs  and expenses  decreased  53.9%.   Production costs  decreased 40.5%,
     depreciation and  depletion decreased 45.5% and  general and administrative
     costs decreased 162.5% for the same reasons cited for the nine month period
     ending August 31, 1995.
