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


                                     GENERAL

 RESULT OF OPERATIONS

The  following is a discussion  of the results of  operations of the Company for
the  three  months  ended  May  31,  1998.  This  discussion  should  be read in
conjunction with the Company's unaudited  Consolidated  Financial Statements and
the notes thereto included in Part I of this Quarterly Report.

 The factors which most significantly affect the Company's results of operations
 are (i) the sale prices of crude oil and natural  gas,  (ii) the level of total
 sales volumes,  (iii) the level of lease operating expenses, and (iv) the level
 of and interest  rates on  borrowings.  Total sales volumes for oil and natural
 gas are significantly impacted by the degree of success the Company experiences
 in its efforts to maintain or increase production from its existing oil and gas
 properties through its development activities.

 Average sales prices received by the Company for oil and gas have  historically
 fluctuated  significantly  from  period to period.  Fluctuations  in oil prices
 during these periods reflect market  uncertainty as well as concerns related to
 the global supply and demand for crude oil.  Average gas prices received by the
 Company fluctuate generally with changes in the spot market price for gas. Spot
 market gas prices  have  generally  declined in recent  years  because of lower
 worldwide energy prices as well as excess  deliverability of natural gas in the
 United  States.   Relatively  modest  changes  in  either  oil  or  gas  prices
 significantly  impact the  Company's  results of  operations  and cash flow and
 could  significantly  impact  the  Company's  borrowing  capacity.   Management
 presently  believes that the level of crude prices  worldwide are too low to be
 sustained  for any  extended  period and that prices  will  rebound to previous
 levels.

Quarter ended May 31, 1998 compared to Quarter ended May 31, 1997.  Revenues for
the three months ending May 31, 1998 were $ 252,352  compared to $ 9,916 for the
comparable  quarter ended May 31, 1997 and reflects an increase in the operating
revenue  from  the  Company's  oil  and  gas  operations  as  a  result  of  the
acquisitions  of (1) Double Eagle and the oil and gas  properties  acquired from
(2) Enserch Exploration, Inc.

Production  operating expenses were $ 178,989 for the quarter ended May 31, 1998
compared to $ 4,974 for the quarter  ended May 31, 1997 and reflects an increase
due to the acquisition of Double Eagle Petroleum Corporation and the oil and gas
properties acquired from Enserch Exploration, Inc.

General and  administrative  costs  decreased  to $ 12,242 for the three  months
ending  May 31,  1998  from $ 26,482  for the same  period  a year  earlier  and
primarily  reflects an  adjustment in G & A for start up cost related to the oil
and gas acquisition the company completed.  G & A should increase  significantly
 

<PAGE>



as the  Company  continues  to acquire  additional  properties  and  initiates a
corporate public relations campaign.  We are estimating that the Companys future
G & A based on our current  operations  and management  fee  rembursement  to be
approximately $ 20,000 per month.

The Company had an  after-tax  net loss of $ 24,436  ($0.0008 per share) for the
quarter  ended May 31,  1998  compared  to a net.  loss of $ 58,169  ($0.039 per
share) for the comparable  quarter a year earlier.  The decrease in the net loss
in income is  attributable  primarily to an increase in the revenues as a result
of the Double Eagle acquisition and is offset by an attendant increase in G & A.
The  Company  expects to  continue to  experience  losses  during the periods of
significant growth of the Company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's  capital  requirements  relate primarily to the development of its
oil and gas properties.  Prior to the change in control,  the Company funded its
very limited  activities from cash flow. The Company,  through its subsidiaries,
has established  credit  facilities with a bank to facilitate the funding of its
operations,  has sold oil and gas properties to provide  working capital and has
from time to received unsecured loam from its principal shareholder.

The  level  of the  Company's  capital  expenditures  will  vary  in the  future
depending on energy market conditions and upon the level of acquisition activity
achieved by the Company.  The Company anticipates that its cash flow will not be
sufficient to fund its  operations  and debt service at their current levels for
the  next  year  and  that  additional  capital  will be  required.  There is no
assurance that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its obligations.

The Company's bank credit facility consists of a revolving credit facility under
which  the  Company  has  available  to it a  revolving  line of  credit  in the
principal  amount of $3,400,000  including the term loan  discussed  under Notes
Payable above.  The Company is required to make interest  payments  monthly with
interest accruing at a varying rate based on the sum of the bank's prime lending
rate  ( 9.5 % at November 30, 1997 ). The revolving line of credit is secured by
substantially all of the Company's oil and gas properties.  At November 30, 1997
the  outstanding  balance under the Company's  credit  facilities  with its Bank
totaled $ 3,200,000.

At May 31,  1998 the  Company  had  current  assets of $  1,981,028  and current
liabilities of $ 3,145,964 which resulted in negative working capital of 
<PAGE>


$ 1,164,936  which is primarily  comprised of senior bank debt and notes payable
to shareholders  and accounts  payable.  The Company believes that its cash flow
from  operations  will  not  be  sufficient  to  meet  its  anticipated  capital
requirements.  As a result  the  Company  believes  it will  require  additional
financing in order to carry on its operations. Because future cash flows and the
availability  of  financing  are subject to a number of  variables,  such as the
level of  production,  the prices of oil and gas, and the  Company's  ability to
successfully  acquire  additional  oil and natural gas  properties at reasonable
prices,  there can be no  assurance  that the  Company's  capital  resources  or
ability to attract  financing will be sufficient to maintain  currently  planned
levels of capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to maintain its current
level of  operations,  management  believes the Company may be compelled to sell
certain assets to meet its obligations or to otherwise curtail its activities.

SEASONALITY

The results of operations  of the Company are somewhat  seasonal due to seasonal
fluctuations  in the price for crude oil and natural gas. Due to these  seasonal
fluctuations,  results of operations for individual quarterly periods may not be
indicative of results which may be realized on an annual basis.

INFLATION AND PRICES

The Company's revenues and the value of its oil and gas properties have been and
will be  affected  by changes in oil and gas prices.  The  Company's  ability to
maintain  current  borrowing  capacity  and  to  obtain  additional  capital  on
attractive terms is also substantially  dependent on oil and gas prices. Oil and
gas prices are subject to significant fluctuations that are beyond the Company's
ability to control or predict.
