                  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 six-month period ended February 28, 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 $1,605,806 at February 28, 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 February 28, 1997 and 1996

     Oil and gas sales of $13,472 for the period ended February 28, 1997
increased $1,387 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 $10,935 increased $1,442 from the same quarter of the
prior year due to a higher occupancy rate in the current year.

     Oil & Gas operating expenses of $11,322 increased $523 from $10,799
experienced in the same quarter of the prior year, due to bulldozer work to
improve access roads on one of the leases.

     Rental expenses of $10,406 decreased $1,063 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 $22,006 decreased $2,785 from that
experienced during the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower
fees from consultants.

     Interest expense to affiliates increased $2,065 from that experienced in
the same period of the prior year because the Registrant's debt to affiliates
has increased $138,868 since that time.

Six Months Ended February 28, 1997 and 1996

     Oil and gas sales of $29,690 for the period ended February 28, 1997
increased $5,924 from $23,766 experienced during the same period of the prior
year.  The decrease is primarily due to increased production from well
workovers performed during the prior year.

     Rental income of $20,863 increased $2,225 from the same period of the
prior year due to a higher occupancy rate in the current year.

     Oil & gas operating expenses of $24,481 increased $2,290 from $22,191
experienced during the same period of the prior year, due to 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 $14,644 decreased $1,253 from $15,897 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 $9,948 decreased $819 from $10,767
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 $54,131 decreased $4,892 from
$59,023 experienced during the same period of the prior year, due to lower fees
from consultants.

     Interest expense to affiliates increased $4,038 from that experienced in 
 the same period of the prior year because the Registrant's debt to affiliates
has increased $138,868 since that time.
