                                  FORM 8-K/A-1

GENERAL EXPLANATION

The purpose of this Report on Form 8-K/A-1 is to amend the contents of
Territorial Resources, Inc.'s (the "Company" or the "Registrant") Form 8-K filed
on or about April 15, 1996.  The Form 8-K previously filed reported the
acquisition by the Company on March 29, 1996, of an additional approximately 11%
interest in SOCO Tamtsag Mongolia, Inc. ("STMI"), which owns and is the operator
of the Contract Area XIX concession in the Tamtsag Basin of Mongolia.  The
acquisition, as reported in the Form 8-K, was made through an acquisition by the
Company of TRI Mongolia, Inc., a privately-held Texas corporation ("TRI"), which
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

     (a)  Financial statements of business acquired.  Not Applicable.

               Audited financial statements of the business acquired are not
          included in this filing because they are not required under the rules
          and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
          to date.  The 109 additional shares of STMI acquired by the Registrant
          represent a minority, non-controlling interest (approximately 11%) in
          STMI.  STMI's primary asset is its exploratory concessions in the
          Tamtsag Basin of Mongolia.  The Registrant's interest in this activity
          is an indirect one in which it exercises no meaningful influence (as
          compared to a direct working interest or other type of interest).

     (b)  Pro forma financial information.

               The balance sheet of the Company at March 31, 1996, includes an
          increase in the asset line item, "Investment in SOCO Tamtsag Mongolia,
          Inc." of $1,601,859 for the additional 109 STMI shares.  This amount
          is inclusive of:  an accrued liability related to mandatory loan
          obligations ("Mandatory Loan Obligations"), arising under the
          agreements to which shareholders of STMI are parties, for these 109
          STMI shares of $44,499; an accrued liability of $7,801 for legal costs
          expended in connection with the acquisition; the payment of $19,361
          related to Mandatory Loan Obligations made prior to the end of the
          fiscal year; and a credit for a $20,000 option premium related to the
          potential sale of up to 29 STMI shares to Asia Energy Ltd., as
          reported in the Form 8-K.  Prior to the acquisition of the 109 STMI
          shares, the Company's balance sheet included this same asset line item
          since it was related to its ownership of 10 STMI shares.  The issuance
          of shares of the Company's common stock in connection with the
          acquisition of TRI resulted in an increase of $5,450 and $1,544,748 in
          the Company's common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts,
          respectively, at March 31, 1996.

               This acquisition would have had no effect upon the Company's
          income statement for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, had the
          acquisition been consummated at the beginning of such fiscal year. 
          The primary reason for this is that all expenditures related to
          "Investment in SOCO Tamtsag Mongolia, Inc." are capitalized.   These
          expenditures are primarily Mandatory Loan Obligations which, with
          respect to all 119 STMI shares owned by the Company, have been accrued
          through the end of the Company's fiscal year.  TRI, as the former
          owner of the 109 STMI shares acquired by the Registrant on March 29,
          1996, was not liable for any Mandatory Loan Obligations other than
          those accruing on and after January 1, 1996.  Thus, the Company would
          not have been liable for Mandatory Loan Obligations even if it had
          owned the 109 shares prior to January 1, 1996.  Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, the Company expended $7,801 for legal costs described in
          the preceding paragraph that were capitalized as "Investment in SOCO
          Tamtsag Mongolia, Inc." at March 31, 1996.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
