              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


   In the opinion of Arch Petroleum Inc. (the "Company"), the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, which have not been audited by independent
public accountants, contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
Company's consolidated financial position, the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the periods reported.  The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries:  Arch Production
Company, wholly-owned; Saginaw Pipeline Company, L.C. ("Saginaw") and Industrial
Natural Gas, L.C. ("ING"), 75% membership interest; and Onyx Pipeline Company,
L.C., Onyx Gathering Company, L.C. and Onyx Gas Marketing Company, L.C.
("Onyx"), 50% membership interest.  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 1994.  The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

   Effective February 1, 1995 the Railroad Commission of Texas ("RRC") amended
its interim order issued in August 1992 (previously amended in May 1993) and
established a system of field-wide allowables which allows the Company to
produce and sell approximately 20.2 millon cubic feet (16.0 million, net) of
natural gas per day from its operated leases and 2.6 million cubic feet (2.1
million, net) of natural gas per day from its nonoperated interest in the
Keystone Ellenburger field ("Keystone").  As of February 1, 1995 the Company
resumed full scheduled natural gas volume deliveries under the existing
production payment agreement.  The Company continues to produce approximately
15,000 barrels of formation water per day, less than 40% of the water which
would have been previously required by the RRC to produce the new accelerated
gas allowables.  Concurrent with the implementation of the new field rules, the
Company has ceased to capitalize water lifting program costs and will amortize
the deferred water production costs as the bonus production allowable is
produced.  At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had deferred
$5.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of water production costs.  These
costs have been included in proved oil and gas properties.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

   In 1995 the Company's principal source of cash was $2.8 million from its
revolver debt facility.  This cash was utilized to fund $1.4 million of
development in existing properties in New Mexico and Texas, including Keystone
and to fund $0.4 million of 3-D seismic activities in Stonewall County and the
Panhandle of Texas.

   The Company's revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), which the Company
entered into on April 6, 1990 (last amended on December 30, 1994, the second
amendment) is in place for use by the Company at its discretion including
drilling, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties.  The Company
has borrowed $8.8 million against the Revolver at March 31, 1995.  The
Revolver's borrowing base is the amount that the bank commits to loan to the
Company based on the designated loan value established by the bank at its sole
discretion and assigned to certain of the Company's oil and gas properties which
serve as collateral for any loan which may be outstanding under the Revolver.
The Revolver facility is $50.0 million and the borrowing base is currently $26.0
million.  The Borrowing base is reviewed semiannually by the bank at their
discretion.  A commitment fee of one half of one percent of the unused borrowing
base accrues and is payable quarterly.  Borrowings under the Revolver bear
interest at the bank's Base Rate (national prime rate, 9.00% at March 31, 1995).

   The Onyx Term Loan Agreement (the "Onyx Note"), which Onyx entered into with
the Bank of Scotland on March 30, 1994 (last amended September 30, 1994, the
first amendment), is a separate facility and provided Onyx with $5.0 million.
The Onyx Note bears interest at national prime rate plus one-half of one percent
(9.50% at March 31, 1995).  Interest on the unpaid principal amount of the note
is payable quarterly and commenced on June 30, 1994.  The unpaid principal will
be repaid by eighteen quarterly installments and commenced December 31, 1994.
Current maturities of the Onyx Note total $1.1 million at March 31, 1995.  The
Onyx Note is guaranteed by the Company.

   Both the Revolver and Onyx note contain normal and standard covenants
generally found in lending agreements.  Among other things, these covenants
prohibit the declaration and payment of cash dividends on the Company's common
stock.  In addition, the covenants stipulate the maintenance of financial
criteria including: a minimum level of net worth, a certain current ratio, a
certain debt to worth ratio and a defined net income in excess of scheduled
interest and principal payments.  The Company and Onyx are currently not in
default with the loan agreements.  Neither the Company nor Onyx has any other
unused lines of credit.

   The Company has sufficient cash and unused borrowing base in the Revolver to
fund its anticipated drilling, development and acquisition programs for 1995 as
well as its debt service and preferred stock dividend requirements.
Additionally, the Company expects to meet its current operating cash
requirements from cash flows provided by current operations.  The Company
operates in an industry that is subject to volatile prices for its products.
Cash flows from operations may be affected to a significant degree by
fluctuations in prices that are brought on by factors beyond the Company's
control.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

                 Three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to
                 ---------------------------------------------
                       three months ended March  31, 1994
                       ----------------------------------
                                        
   The Company recorded a net loss before dividends of $279,000 in 1995 as
compared to a net loss before dividends of $250,000 in 1994. The net loss
increased $29,000 resulting from a $3,404,000 decrease in revenues offset by a
$3,359,000 decrease in costs and expenses and a $16,000 increase in income tax
benefit.

   Pipeline sales decreased $5,414,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994, but were
offset by a decrease in natural gas purchases of $5,480,000.  The decrease in
sales and purchases is due primarily to the decrease in the cost of gas which
averaged $1.48 in 1995 as compared to $2.18 in 1994.  Gross margin increased to
4.9% in 1995 as compared to 2.9% in 1994 reflecting higher spreads in 1995.

   Revenues from oil and gas sales increased $1,942,000 in 1995 as compared to
1994, primarily as a result of the revenues attributable to the New Mexico
properties (acquired effective April 1, 1994) and the increased gas production
from Keystone.  Gas production in 1995 increased to 1,284,000 Mcf as compared to
402,000 Mcf in 1994, resulting in a $1,666,000 increase in sales.  The average
price received for gas was $1.33 in 1995 as compared to $1.90 in 1994, resulting
in a $716,000 decrease in sales.  The average price received for gas excluding
certain production payment volumes was $1.53 in 1995.  Oil production increased
to 87,000 barrels in 1995 as compared to 40,000 in 1994, resulting in a $622,000
increase in sales.  The increase in oil production is primarily attributable to
the New Mexico properties.  The average price received for oil was $17.30 in
1995 as compared to $13.23 in 1994, resulting in a $370,000 increase in sales.

   Total operating expenses increased $1,009,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994.
Lease operating expenses ("LOE") related to oil and gas properties increased
$1,000,000, primarily as a result of the New Mexico properties and the amended
RRC order affecting Keystone.  As a result of the RRC's amended order effective
February 1, 1995, the Company has ceased capitalizing the water lifting program
costs and is charging these costs to LOE as incurred.  Lifting costs per
equivalent barrel decreased in 1995 to $4.47 from $4.65 in 1994, as a result of
the increased oil and gas production.  The $172,000 increase in exploration
expense is due to 3-D seismic programs that the Company is undertaking in
Stonewall County and the Panhandle of Texas.  Depletion, depreciation and
amortization increased $501,000 in 1995 as a result of the New Mexico operations
and the increased gas production from Keystone.

   General and administrative expenses increased $114,000 in 1995 as compared to
1994, reflecting personnel additions.  Interest expense increased $261,000 as a
result of the increased outstanding bank debt during 1995.
