                                  (UNAUDITED)



1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Refer to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended June
     30, 1996, for a description of the accounting policies which have been
     continued without change.  Also, refer to the notes with those annual
     statements for additional details of the Company's financial condition,
     results of operations and changes in 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 March 31, 1997, are not
     necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

4.   Subsequent Event

     The Company has accepted an offer to sell its producing oil and gas
     properties for $1.8 million effective as of January 1, 1997. The sale
     is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement. The Company has
     received a deposit of $180,325 on the pending sale.

     If the sale closes as anticipated, the Company will not have any
     significant income from oil and gas sales in future quarters. Furthermore,
     if completed with the effective date January 1, 1997, the financial
     statements subsequent to this date will reflect the transfer of oil and
     gas revenue and expenses, currently being reflected by the Company in the
     Statement of Operations, to the buyer.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's working capital
increased by $1,099,077. In addition to the working capital provided as a result
of net income of $270,000, the increase can be attributed to the proceeds
received on the sale of various producing and nonproducing properties.  Revenue
from oil and gas sales has shown a positive increase and the Company is
continuing to control expenses.

Management believes that the Company's liquidity is sufficient to meet future
cash needs of operations.  The Company has conditionally accepted an offer to
sell its producing oil and gas properties for an additional $1.8 million.  The
cash balance includes a deposit of $180,000 on the sale of these properties. If
the sale closes as anticipated, the Company will not have any significant income
from oil and gas sales in future quarters. Furthermore, if completed with the
effective date January 1, 1997, the financial statements subsequent to this date
will reflect the transfer of oil and gas revenue and expenses, currently being
reflected by the Company in the Statement of Operations, to the buyer.


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

Current Year-To-Date Compared to Corresponding Year-To-Date
- -----------------------------------------------------------
The Company had net income of $270,000 in the current period compared to a net
loss of $134,000 in the previous period.  The increase in net income can be
attributed to higher oil prices and the gains resulting on the sales of oil and
gas properties and investments.  The increase can also be attributed to lower
expenses as a result of fewer expiring nonproducing leases, lower exploration
costs, fewer delay rental payments, and a decreased per barrel depletion charge.

General and administrative costs were $20,000 lower during the current period
due to cost containment measures by the Company.  Interest expense was $8,600
lower  and interest income $23,000 higher due to the Company's improved cash
position.

Current Quarter Compared to Corresponding Quarter of Prior Year
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Sales of oil and gas increased by approximately $59,000 compared to the same
period one year ago.  Again, this increase can be primarily attributed to higher
oil prices of approximately $3 per barrel.  Production taxes increased
approximately 48% to coincide with the increase in sales revenue.  Production
costs and depletion expense were lower as a result of declining production.
Exploration costs were lower by $37,000 due to fewer expiring nonproducing
leases.

During the current quarter, the Company sold several marginal oil and gas
properties and the coal property for a net gain of $8,500.  The Company had no
such sales during the same quarter one year ago.

General and administrative costs during the current quarter increased by 6%
primarily due to an increase in shareholder relations costs.  The Company
continues to employ cost containment measures.

                                    (CONTINUED)

Current Quarter Compared to Previous Quarter
- --------------------------------------------
The Company had net income of $95,000 for the current quarter compared to net
income of $138,000 for the previous quarter.  Oil prices declined by $2 per
barrel and production decreased due to severe winter operating conditions.  The
Company sold additional oil and gas properties during the current quarter for a
net gain of $8,500 compared to the gain of $4,000 in the previous quarter.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased by 15% also due to the decline in
production.

During the current quarter, the Company sold the coal partnership investment for
a net profit of $18,000 which had incurred a loss of $6,800 during the previous
quarter.  Interest income increased by $4,000 and interest expense decreased by
$1,600 during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter again due to
the Company's improved cash position.  Other general and administrative costs
remained fairly stable.
