3.      Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

          In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No.
          121), ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR
          LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. This Statement is effective
          for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after
          December 15, 1995. Under SFAS No. 121 an entity shall review
          long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
          held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in
          circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
          not be recoverable. If the changes in circumstances are present
          or if other circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
          an asset that an entity expects to hold and use may not be
          recoverable, the entity shall estimate the future cash flows
          expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
          disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows
          expected to be generated by an asset (grouped at the lowest
          level for which there are identifiable cash flows) less the
          future cash flows expected to be necessary to obtain those
          inflows. If the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted
          and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount
          of the asset, the entity shall recognize an impairment loss in
          accordance with SFAS No. 121. Otherwise, an impairment loss
          shall not be recognized.  The Company has not adopted SFAS No.
          121 as of September 30, 1995; however, the Company estimates
          that if it were to adopt SFAS No. 121 as of that date, it would
          be required to record a provision of approximately $210,000 for
          the impairment of certain of its oil and gas properties.


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


                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter Results

The Company reports a loss of $58,178, or 3 cents per share, for the three
month period ended September 30, 1995.  This compares with a loss of
$30,552, or 2 cents per share, for the same period a year ago. The
increased loss resulted from lower oil and gas prices from year ago levels
coupled with a reduction in production volumes.

The Company's revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 1995
were $275,169 compared to $349,946 during the same period of 1994, a
decrease of $74,327, or 21%.  Revenue from oil and gas sales was $257,938
for the period ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of $80,197, or 24%, as
compared to $338,135 for the same period in 1994.  The decrease in total
revenues and revenues from oil and gas sales were attributable to the
lower oil and gas prices and lower production volumes cited above. 

The Company's total expenses decreased $46,701, or 12%, to $333,347 for
the period ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $380,048 for the same
period in 1994.  Production and operating expenses decreased by $44,391 to
$140,719 versus $185,110 a year ago.  The decrease in operating expenses
represented a 24% decline from year ago levels.  The decline in current
year production expenses versus a year ago is due to a reduction in
remedial work on several wells finished in 1994.

Abandonment costs were $10,471 for the period ended September 30, 1995. 
All costs were associated with the plugging of the McIlhenny B-1 well in
Louisiana.  No abandonment costs were incurred a year ago.

General and Administrative costs increased $8,424, or 9%, to $103,411 as
compared to $94,987 for the same period a year ago.

No interest expense was incurred during the period ended September 30,
1995 versus $11,310 a year ago. 

The Company did not drill any wells during the quarter ended September 30,
1995.  The Company continues to actively pursue acquisition candidates and
exploration prospects.



                      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


At September 30, 1995, the Company had working capital of $1,091,882. This
compares to the Company's working capital of $348,180 as of September 30,
1994. The increase in working capital is attributable to the Company's
private placement of stock during October of 1994.

The net cash used by operating activities was $14,790 for the period ended
September 30, 1995, a decrease of $200,697 over the prior year's cash
provided of $185,907. The decrease in cash from operating activities
versus a year ago is attributable to the payment of the Company's accounts
payable and accrued liabilities by the end of the period and the increase
in loss versus a year ago. The Company's accounts receivable decreased
$14,449 or 9%, to $136,775 during the period as compared to an increase of
$20,071 or 10% for the same period in 1994. Accounts receivable decreased
due to lower gas prices and a reduction in production volumes during the
period. The Company's accounts payable increased $16,929 or 16% to
$123,676 during the period as compared to an increase of $143,362 to
$290,715 for the prior year. Accrued liabilities decreased by $48,149 or
45% to $58,107 during the period as compared to an increase of $15,034 to
$67,588 in 1994. The decrease in accrued liabilities is a result of
payment of cash calls on certain international permits during the period. 
All other factors regarding operating activities affecting cash flow were
relatively unchanged or insignificant.

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $104,746, a decrease of
$47,560 from the prior year's use of $152,306.  Approximately $101,500 of
the net cash flow used in investing activities was to purchase short-term
investments.  During the period, the Company sold its interest in 271.5
gross acres subject to the Sam Acola lease, a non-producing oil and gas
property in Texas for $2,888.

Cash flows from financing activities increased $41,625 during the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  The increase was attributable to the payment to
the Company of the short-term gain realized by an affiliate on the sale of
shares of the Company's stock held less than six months.  There was no
activity in cash flows from financing activities during the period ended
September 30, 1994.



INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's results of
operations.  However, the constantly fluctuating price of crude oil and
natural gas materially affects the Company's cash flow, either positively
or negatively.
