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


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 1998 resulted in the
consumption of cash of $150,000. The loss experienced on operations and payments
on current liabilities were the primary uses of cash. Working capital declined
by $575,000. The primary use of working capital was expended on further
development of the Graham Field, for which the Company is still working on
obtaining transportation for production. The Company has a non-binding
indication from a bank that it would be willing to provide the Company with a
$1,000,000 line of credit to meet future operating needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Results of Operations for Nine Months Ended May 31, 1998 Compared to Prior Year
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Period
- ------
Oil and gas sales increased 7% for the nine months ended May 31, 1998 over the
same period of one year ago. The source of the increase - production, was offset
somewhat by a decline in oil and gas pricing. Natural gas production increased
47% from 157,132 to 230,901 mcf. Oil production decreased 44% from 13,808 to
9,312 barrels of oil. The increase in revenues was offset by an increase in
production costs and taxes. Exploration expenses saw significant increases for
the current period, due primarily to an increase in lease rentals for properties
in Montana that were acquired in the prior fiscal year, and the Company's
participation in the unsuccessful drilling of the Buffalo Robe well.

General and administrative expenses saw a significant increase of 80%, or
$160,000. The main component of the increase were an increase in costs relative
to shareholder relations, legal and accounting fees and the addition of
personnel.

Current Quarter Compared to Previous Quarter
- --------------------------------------------
Revenues from oil and gas sales declined 36%, or $79,000 compared to the
previous quarter. This decrease was due primarily to a decline in the pricing of
oil coupled with a decrease in the demand for natural gas. Natural gas
production decreased 20% from 84,933 to 67,773 mcf. Oil production decreased 2%
from 3,012 to 2,957 of oil.

General and administrative costs increased by 33%, due primarily to the costs
for shareholder relations and the addition of staff required as the Company
continues to expand the scope of its activities.

Current Quarter Compared to Corresponding Quarter of Prior Year
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues from oil and gas sales experienced a modest increase of $6,000 or 5%
for the current quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter of a year ago,
due primarily to an increase in production, offset by a decrease in oil pricing
and by increases in production costs and taxes. Natural gas production increased
25% from 54,244 to 67,773 mcf. Oil production decreased 28% from 4,102 to 2,957
barrels of oil.

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


General and administrative expenses saw a significant increase of 144%, or
$87,000. The main components of the increase were legal and accounting fees, an
increase in costs relative to shareholder relations and the addition of staff
for expansion of the scope of the Company's activities.
