NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
June 30, 1995 
                                                                              

     General

     The accounting policies followed by Taurus Petroleum, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 (the "Company") are set forth in the notes to the Company's audited financial 
statements in the report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended September 30, 
1994, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such policies have been 
continued without change. Also, refer to the notes with those financial 
statements for additional details of the Company's financial condition, results 
of operations and cash flows. All material items disclosed within this report. 
Any and all adjustments are of a "normal recurring nature".

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited financial
 statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's 
consolidated financial position as of June 30, 1995, and the results of its 
operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 
1994.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     Results of Operations

     Oil and gas revenue decreased $ 31,882 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to the same three month period ended in Fiscal
1994. This decrease in revenue is a result of the sell of one property,
declines in production and the recent decline in oil & gas prices.
               
     Administrative overhead revenue in the third quarter of Fiscal 1995 
decreased $ 120 compared to the third quarter of Fiscal 1994.  This decrease was
primarily due to the plugging of outside operated properties of which Taurus 
received fees for re-billing.  This has resulted in a $ 1,504 decrease for the 
current nine month period ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 
Fiscal 1994.
 	
     Lease operating expenses decreased $ 576 for the three month period 
as compared to the same  period of 1994 but increased $ 9,176 for the
same nine month period in 1994. The decrease in this quarter is due to the 
Company selling one property during this quarter. The increase in the nine 
month period was due to several outside operated properties undergoing major
operational projects.
 
     The Company's general and administrative expenses increased $ 4,793 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1995 and decreased $ 3,110 for the nine month 
period as compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase is 
attributable to franchise taxes being paid in this period along with tax 
accounting expenses.  

     The Company had a net gain of $ 7,418 for the three month period compared 
to the $ 6,357 loss for the same period of 1994.

<PAGE>


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's current liabilities exceed current assets. The increase 
for the nine month period is $57,196. This is a result of an increase in 
Accounts Payable and a decrease in Accounts Receivable.        
                                                       

     Net cash provided from investing activities equaled $ 69,622 in the 
month period ended June 30, 1995 as compares to $ 3,248 used for the same 
period in 1994.
                                             
     Current assets decreased by $ 12,752 in the first nine month of Fiscal 
1995, mainly due to a decrease in accounts receivable. Cash increased $2,607 
for the nine month period. 

     The Company's primary source of cash, is from current operations. If 
needed, cash from the sale of property and equipment will be used to provide 
cash flow.

     Management is aware that positive steps are needed to grow the Company.  
Management is pursuing various options to attract capital.  The options being 
considered and pursued include, further infusions of cash and producing oil and 
gas properties by the controlling shareholders, bank debt secured by the 
Company's producing oil and gas properties, and acquisitions and mergers with 
other oil and gas related companies.
