                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Refer to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended August
  31, 1997, for a description of the accounting policies which have been
  continued without change. Also, refer to the footnotes with those annual
  statements for additional details of the Company's financial condition,
  results of operations, and cash flows. The details in those notes have not
  changed except as a result of normal transactions in the interim.

2. Management Representation

  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
  are reflected in the interim financial statements. Such adjustments are of a
  normal recurring nature.

3. Interim Results of Operations

  The results of operations for the period ended February 28, 1998, are not
  necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

4. Correction of Previous Quarter Results

  An error was made in the previous quarter, resulting in the overstatement of
  oil and gas revenues and production costs and production taxes. The result of
  the error was the overstatement of assets of $69,240, liabilities of $18,035
  and net income of $51,205. The information for the current quarter contained
  in the income statement is reflective of the adjustments made to the prior
  quarter.

5. Earnings Per Share

  In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
  128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 established new
  standards for computing and presenting earnings per share, effective for
  financial statements issued for all periods ending after December 15, 1997,
  including interim statements. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, effective
  for these financial statements. The Company's Basic earnings per share is
  essentially net income divided by the weighted shares outstanding, and the
  Diluted earnings per share is computed by taking into consideration those
  instruments, such as stock options, that may have a dilutive effect on
  earnings per share. Basic and Dilute earnings per share would be comparable,
  respectively, to Primary and Fully Diluted earnings per share, if earnings
  per share were being reported under the old method.

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



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

Operating activities for the six months ended February 28, 1998 resulted in the
consumption of cash of $140,000. Payments on current liabilities was the primary
use of cash. Working capital declined by $467,000. The primary use of working
capital was expended on further development of the Graham Field. The Company is
working on obtaining transportation for production on the Graham Field. The
Company has $350,000 line of credit arrangement with a financial institution,
and has borrowed $150,000 on this line to meet current operating needs.

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

Year to Date Results of Operations Compared to Prior Year to Date Results
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oil and gas sales increased 8% over the same six month period of one year ago.
The source of the increase - production was offset somewhat by a decline in oil
and gas pricing. The increase in revenues was offset by an increase in
production costs and taxes. Exploration expenses and write offs and abandonments
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 75%, or
$47,500. The main component of the increase was an increase in costs relative to
shareholder relations, and legal fees relating to proposed acquisitions of
properties.

Current Quarter Compared to Previous Quarter
- --------------------------------------------

Revenues from oil and gas sales increased by approximately $44,000, or 25%,
compared to the previous quarter. This increase was due primarily to an increase
in production. The increase was partially offset by corresponding increases in
production costs and taxes.

Exploration expenses decreased by $12,000 in the current quarter as compared to
the previous quarter as the company did not participate in any exploratory
drilling activities during the current quarter, other than continuing costs on
the Company's participation in the unsuccessful drilling of the Buffalo Robe
well. The Company's efforts for the current quarter were focused on possible
acquisitions of producing properties.

General and administrative costs increased by approximately 10%, due primarily
to the addition of staff required as the Company continues to expand the scope
of its activities.

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



Current Quarter Compared to Corresponding Quarter of Prior Year
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Oil and gas revenues increased 11% 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 and gas pricing. The growth in production can be
attributed primarily to production the Waltman 21-19 well, along with an
increase in production on the Marianne Field, and an additional acquired
interest in the Long Butte Field which was acquired in the prior fiscal year.

Exploration costs increased by $17,000 for the current quarter as compared to
the corresponding quarter of a year ago. The Company incurred additional costs
in the current quarter for its participation in the unsuccessful drilling of the
Buffalo Robe well, which began in the previous quarter.
