                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of the management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
the nine-month period ended May 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 1997.  For further
information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1996.


NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period, divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. 
Common equivalent shares are not included in the computation because of their
anti-dilutive effect.


LONG-TERM DEBT

     Since 1987, cash advances have been made to the Registrant by National Oil
& Gas, Inc., an affiliated entity, in order to finance working capital
deficits.  The terms of the notes representing such cash advances are 6% to 9%
interest with all principal and accrued interest due on demand.  Outstanding
principal and accrued interest of $1,662,928 at May 31, 1997 are classified on
the balance sheet as a current liability as these notes are payable on demand. 
National Oil & Gas, Inc. is an affiliated company controlled by Mr. William G.
Moser, Chairman of the Board of the Registrant.


Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     In view of the continuing volatile conditions in the oil and gas industry
and the significant sales of oil and gas properties in recent years, the
Registrant anticipates that cash flow from operations will not be sufficient
to provide for the payment of its indebtedness, necessitating the renewal or
refinancing of such indebtedness at maturity.  No assurance can be given that
the Registrant will be able to renew or refinance such indebtedness or that
additional cash infusions will be available.


<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended May 31, 1997 and 1996

     Oil and gas sales of $9,916 for the period ended May 31, 1997 increased
$1,158 from the same quarter of the prior year.  This increase is primarily due
to increased production from well workovers performed during the prior year.

     Rental income of $10,960 increased $1,925 from the same quarter of the
prior year due to a higher occupancy rate in the current year.

     Oil & Gas operating expenses of $15,603 decreased $3,211 from $18,814
experienced in the same quarter of the prior year since grass fires were not
an issue in the current year as they were in the same period of the prior year.

     Rental expenses of $4,891 decreased $1,687 from the same quarter of the
prior year, due to lower utility bills and less interest expense on the
building mortgage.

     Depreciation and depletion expense of $4,974 decreased $300 from $5,274
experienced during the same quarter of the prior year due to lower depletion
rates on oil leases, and due to the sale of a depreciating storage building in
Louisiana.

     Administrative and general expense of $26,482 increased $8,173 from that
experienced during the same period of the prior year, primarily due to
additional work done by consultants.

     Interest expense to affiliates increased $2,068 from that experienced in
the same period of the prior year because the Registrant's debt to affiliates
has increased $136,064 since that time.

Nine Months Ended May 31, 1997 and 1996

     Oil and gas sales of $39,606 for the period ended May 31, 1997 increased
$7,081 from $32,525 experienced during the same period of the prior year.  The
increase is primarily due to increased production from well workovers performed
during the prior year.

     Rental income of $31,824 increased $4,151 from the same period of the
prior year due to a higher occupancy rate in the current year.

     Oil & gas operating expenses of $40,084 decreased $921 from $41,005
experienced during the same period of the prior year since grass fires were not
an issue in the current year as they were in the same period of the prior year. 
This cost savings was offset by downhole pump repairs performed in an attempt
to increase production, and bulldozer work to improve access roads on one of
the leases.

<PAGE>
     Rental expenses of $19,534 decreased $2,942 from $22,476 experienced
during the same period of the prior year, due to lower utility bills and less
interest expense on the building mortgage.

     Depreciation and depletion expense of $14,922 decreased $1,119 from
$16,041 experienced during the same period of the prior year due to lower
depletion rates on oil leases, and due to the sale of a depreciating storage
building in Louisiana.


     Administrative and general expense of $82,926 increased $5,594 from
$77,332 experienced during the same period of the prior year, due to higher
fees from consultants.

     Interest expense to affiliates increased $6,106 from that experienced in 
 the same period of the prior year because the Registrant's debt to affiliates
has increased $136,064 since that time.
