In October 1997 the Registrant was notified that the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order which stated that ad valorem
tax levied by the State of Kansas could not be considered as an add on to
the maximum lawful price of gas sold under the NGPA of 1978. The
Registrant was also notified that, as successor in interest to a
predecessor company, it was responsible for refunding amounts paid to the
predecessor company during 1984 and 1985.
The Registrant is working with legal counsel to determine what amount the
Registrant may be responsible for, since a substantial portion of the
amounts the predecessor company received were amounts received as agent
for other interest owners.
<PAGE>
The loss of the Registrant for the year ended September 30, 1997
approximates $71,500 without considering the amount of expense associated
with the refund discussed in the preceding paragraph. It is anticipated
that recording the additional expense associated with the refund will
substantially increase the loss for the year ended September 30, 1997.
The loss for the year ended September 30, 1996 was $11,619.
