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


Results of Operations

         Nine Months Comparison

         - Marketing

         Gross revenues for the Company's Marketing operations increased by
$66,690,000, or 14%, in the comparative current period as a result of generally
higher overall world crude oil prices.  In contrast to higher crude oil prices,
the Company's purchases of crude oil at the wellhead remained consistent at
approximately 45,000 barrels per day.  The Company's strategy for crude oil
marketing is to link purchase and sales contracts to established quotations
(postings) that move with general market trends.  In this manner, profitability
is based on the spread between the going price paid to suppliers at the
wellhead and the price received from customers at various delivery points less
transportation.  Thus, the Company is substantially insulated from the impact
of general movements in world crude oil prices.  Because of the Company's crude
oil marketing strategy, higher world crude oil prices had little or no impact
on current operating margins.  Marketing division operating margins before
depreciation for the first nine months of 1995 were $2,147,000 versus
$2,122,000 in the similar 1994 period.

         - Transportation

         Transportation revenues have remained fairly consistent between the
comparitive nine month periods.  However, operating margins before depreciation
decreased by 19% to $2,112,000 because the Company's cost structure has
increased while trucking rates have remained constant.  Increased costs are
attributable to competitive pressures to increase driver wages and improve the
level of service.  In addition, the Company is in the process of increasing
its sales volumes to better match its expanded terminal facility and fleet
capacity.  As an improved balance between sales volumes and service capacity is
obtained, profitability should improve dramatically.

         - Oil and Gas

         Oil and gas revenues and operating earnings before depreciation and
depletion doubled in the current period to $5,267,000 and $3,988,000
respectively as a direct result of increased oil and gas production volumes
stemming from the Company's recent drilling efforts.  Volumes and prices
compare as follows:

         - Depreciation, depletion and amortization

         The provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization is
increased in the current period with increased capital costs associated with
the Company's recent oil and gas drilling activity.  In addition, during the
third quarter 1995, depressed natural gas prices coupled with marginal results
from recent drilling efforts caused the Company to record a $900,000 write down
of its oil and gas leasehold position.

         - Other income (expense)

         During the third quarter of 1995, the Company substantially completed
its coal land reclamation obligations and obtained general approval from the
State of Kentucky.  As a result, the Company reduced its estimated liability
for future coal related costs by $372,000.  The Company also recognized a
$545,000 gain during the third quarter of 1995, when nine tractors and 22
trailer were sold upon the expiration of their lease term.

         Interest expense has increased because of the Company's increase in
its level of debt during 1994 to finance its drilling activity.

         - Income tax provision

         During the third quarter of 1995, the Company adjusted its estimated
effective tax rate to reflect the recognition of approximately $200,000 of
depletion tax benefits which the Company expects to realize.

         Three Month Comparison

         Variations for the comparative three month period ended September 30,
1995 are consistent with the discussion above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the first nine months of 1995, the Company invested $6,068,000
in property equipment additions with the majority of the investment ($4.3
million) going towards oil and gas drilling efforts.  Funding for these
investments was from the Company generating $7,177,000 of working capital
funds, defined as the sum of net earnings plus the non-cash provisions for
depreciation and deferred income taxes not owing as a result of the Company's
tax loss carryforward position.  Due to depressed natural gas prices combined
with marginal results from the Company's most recent drilling efforts, the
Company has slowed its rate of investment in new oil and gas drilling.  In this
manner, the Company's historic balance between working capital generated from
operations and capital spending is maintained.

         Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 for
additional discussion of the Company's bank relationships, tax loss
carryforwards and other matters.

                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited but, in
the opinion of the Company's management, include all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position at September 30, 1995 and results of operations and cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations,
although the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and
the notes thereto, included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The interim statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for a full year.
