               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Directors
Double Eagle Petroleum and Mining Company
Casper, Wyoming


The accompanying condensed balance sheet of Double Eagle Petroleum and Mining
Company as of February 29, 1996 and the related statements of operations for the
three and six month periods ended February 29, 1996 and February 28,  1995 and
condensed statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended February 29,
1996 and February 28, 1995 were not audited by us and, accordingly we do not
express an opinion on them.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet as of August 31, 1995, and the related statements
of operations and retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated October 19, 1995, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of August 31, 1995,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended February 29, 1996, the Company s operations resulted
in negative working capital. The $179,500 decrease was due to the fact the
Company purchased a producing property with borrowed funds and then repaid a
majority of the borrowed funds during the current quarter using most of its
cash.

Management believes that the Company's liquidity is sufficient to meet future
cash needs for operations. Management does not anticipate any future material
sales of oil and gas properties solely to raise working capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                Current Year-to-Date Compared to Corresponding Year-to-Date

The Company has experienced a net loss for the current year of $18,115 compared
to net income for the prior period of $185,485. The change is due mainly to the
sale of several of the Company's nonproducing properties in the first quarter of
the prior year, yielding a profit of $363,600, compared to the sale of
nonproducing properties in the current year yielding a profit of $115,600.

Revenue from oil and gas sales increased by approximately $33,400 in the current
period compared to the same period one year ago. This increase can be attributed
to the purchase of producing properties in the current year. 

Production costs and taxes increased by approximately $20,300 coinciding with
the increase in oil and gas sales revenue.

Exploration costs decreased considerably when compared to the same period one
year ago. The $73,600 decrease is mainly attributable to not as many of the
Company's nonproducing leases being abandoned or expiring and less rental
payments being made due to the abandonments in the prior year.

Overall costs and expenses decreased by approximately $218,600 when compared to
the prior year, due mainly to a decrease in the cost of properties sold and the
aforementioned decrease in exploration costs.

Interest income decreased by approximately $3,100 due to a decrease in funds
being available for investments, as they were used to purchase producing 
properties in the current year.

                Current Quarter Compared to Previous Quarter

Revenues from oil and gas sales increased by approximately $11,000 compared to
the previous quarter. This increase was due to the sale of more gas during the
current quarter and increased income generated from recently acquired producing
properties. 

Production costs, including taxes, increased by approximately $20,800 during the
current quarter when compared to the previous quarter. The increase can be
attributed to repairs being made on one of the Company's producing properties
during the current quarter.

Exploration costs decreased when compared to the previous quarter by $18,500.
This decrease is attributed to more of the Company's nonproducing leases
expiring in the previous quarter than in the current quarter.

General and administrative costs increased by approximately $16,900 compared to
the quarter ending November 30, 1995. This increase was due to the cost
attributable to the Company's annual meeting.

Interest income and depreciation and depletion expense remained fairly stable
between the two quarters.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (CONTINUED)


                Current Quarter Compared to Previous Quarter (Continued)

Operations in the current quarter resulted in a $34,400 net profit for the
quarter compared to a net loss of $52,500 for the previous quarter. The
aforementioned sale of nonproducing properties resulted in the majority of the
change.


                Current Quarter Compared to Corresponding Quarter

Oil and gas revenues increased by $18,900 compared to the same quarter in 1995
due mainly to better prices and production from newly acquired producing
properties.

Sales of and cost of sales of oil and gas properties increased drastically when
compared to the corresponding quarter due to the sale on a large nonproducing
property in the current quarter.

Production costs, including production taxes, increased by $23,700 compared to
the same quarter one year ago. This increase coincides with the increase in
revenue and the increase in operating expenses for repairs to one of the
Company's producing properties in the current quarter.

Exploration costs decreased by $83,600 when compared to the corresponding
quarter in 1995. This decrease is mainly attributed to the abandonment of
nonproducing leases during the corresponding quarter.

General and administrative expenses increased by $5,800 when compared to the
same quarter a year ago. The main reason for the increase was due to increased
travel to show interested individuals a prospective developmental property.

Depreciation and depletion expense increased by $14,100 when compared to the
corresponding quarter. This increase is due to the addition of a producing 
property in the previous quarter along with better production from some of the
Company's older producing properties.

The change in net income (loss) of $110,500 can be attributed to the
aforementioned sale in the current quarter.
