Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations:
At the end of the third quarter of 1998, the assets of the Company amounted to
$197,465 showing a decrease of $138,348 from the third quarter 1997 assets. The
decrease in assets is mainly due to the sale of the New York properties at
12/31/97 and a decrease in accounts receivable.
Revenues and Operating Expenses:
Total revenue for the third quarter of 1998 was $28,525 compared to $41,014 for
the third quarter of 1997. This decrease in revenue is primarily due to a
decrease in oil and gas prices and to the sale of the New York properties on
12/31/97.
Lease operating expenses in the third quarter 1998 decreased $17,994 from the
third quarter 1997 lease operating expenses mainly because of the sale of the
New York properties on 12/31/97.
