              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1995


1.   UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
     fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1995 and the
     results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  All such
     adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations
     for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for
     the full year.

     The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to
     the Company's financial statements in Form 10-K for the year ended
     September 30, 1994.  It is suggested that these financial statements be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
     Form 10-K.

2.   INCOME TAXES

     The net deferred tax assets of the Company were $1,151,000 and $2,688,000
     as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  In order to reflect the
     amounts not expected to be utilized before the expiration of available net
     operating loss carryforwards and due to the effects of anticipated
     exploratory drilling costs, a valuation allowance equal to the entire net
     deferred tax asset was provided at both September 30, 1994 and 1993.

     For the six months ended March 31, 1995, the Company has used its estimated
     effective tax rate to compute the provision for income taxes as the Company
     does not believe it can reliably estimate its taxable income with any
     degree of precision for the current fiscal year.  The estimated tax rate
     for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1995 is approximately two
     percent.

3.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     As of March 31, 1995, the commitment amount of the Company's reserve-based
     line of credit with a bank was $80 million and the borrowing base was $40
     million.  In order to reduce the commitment fees, the Company voluntarily
     requested that the maximum borrowing be limited to $35 million.  At March
     31, 1995, $31 million was outstanding on the line of credit.

4.   CAPITALIZED INTEREST
 
     During the six months ended March 31, 1995, the Company borrowed against
     its line of credit to fund its oil and gas development and the construction
     of a gas plant and a gathering system extension.  The Company capitalizes
     interest costs on amounts expended on assets during the period in which
     activities are occurring to place the asset in service.  Excluded from
     interest capitalization are amounts spent to develop properties included in
     the full cost center of oil and gas properties.  The gas plant and
     gathering system extension were placed in service on December 1, 1994 while
     development of certain unevaluated oil and gas properties continued
     throughout the six month period.

     Total interest costs incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were
     $470,000.  Of this amount $151,000 was capitalized to the specific proj-
     ects and $319,000 was recorded as interest expense.  For the six month
     period $269,000 was capitalized and $370,000 was recorded as interest
     expense.

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


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

     As of March 31, 1995, total assets were $131.8 million compared to $105.9
     million as of September 30, 1994.  This represents an increase of $25.9
     million or 24.5 percent.  Property and equipment increased $21.4 million
     (27.9 percent) and current assets increased $4.5 million (15.5 percent).
     Working capital increased by $10.8 million to $6.6 million.  These
     increases are primarily the result of increased investment in oil and gas
     properties, increased gas production that began in the first quarter of
     fiscal 1995 and borrowings on the line of credit.

     During the six month period ended March 31, 1995, the Company borrowed $31
     million on its line of credit with a bank.  The line of credit provides up
     to $80 million with a borrowing base of $40 million.  The Company has
     voluntarily requested the maximum borrowing be limited to $35 million.

     For the respective six months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, operations
     provided $5.9 million and $6.4 million of cash flow before working capital
     changes.  The decrease is primarily due to lower gas prices which resulted
     in decreased net income.

     The Company invested $34.4 million in the acquisition of property and
     equipment during the six months ended March 31, 1995 compared to $14.8
     million for the same period of fiscal 1994.  During this period, the
     Company continued its exploration and development activities in the
     Piceance Basin of Colorado, the Wind River Basin in Wyoming and the Arkoma
     and Anadarko Basins of Oklahoma.

     During December 1994, the Company began production of its Cave Gulch
     discovery in the Wind River Basin and began operation of its gas plant and
     gathering system extension in the Piceance Basin.  These actions
     significantly increased production to the Company's interest.  Subject to
     market availability, these production increases should continue to generate
     a corresponding increase in cash flow.

     On May 3, 1995, the Company announced a plan for the merger of Plains
     Petroleum Company, an independent oil and gas producer, into a wholly owned
     subsidiary of the Company to be accounted for using the pooling of
     interests method of accounting.  As of December 31, 1994, Plains Petroleum
     reported proved reserves of 11 million barrels of oil and 312.5 Bcf of gas.
     The merger is subject to approval of the stockholders of both

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     companies and is expected to be consummated in the third quarter of
     calendar 1995.

     Due to low gas prices, the Company continues to evaluate its opportunities
     for investing in oil and gas properties.  Management believes that as a
     result of this evaluation, its oil and gas investing activities for the
     remainder of the year may be reduced compared to previous plans for the
     year.

     Management believes that its current cash position, anticipated cash flow
     and borrowing capacities will adequately fund its fiscal 1995 anticipated
     exploration and development activities.

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

     Net income for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $.9 million
     ($.07 per share) and $1.7 million ($.14 per share), respectively.  The
     decrease is due primarily to a reduction of average gas prices which are
     29% lower for the fiscal 1995 quarter than the fiscal 1994 quarter and the
     resulting effect on oil and gas production revenue.  Other factors
     contributing to the decrease in net income include increases in general and
     administrative expenses and interest expense.

     For the six months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, net income was $1.1
     million ($.09 per share) and $2.8 million ($.23 per share), respectively.
     Due primarily to lower gas prices, production revenue net of lease
     operating expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased
     from $4.2 million to $3.1 million during this period.  Increases in gas
     gathering revenue due to the gathering system extension in the Piceance
     Basin were offset by increases in general and administrative expenses and
     interest expenses.

     Production revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased from
     $4.9 million in 1994 to $6.3 million.    During the fiscal quarter, the
     Company sold 25,000 barrels of oil and 4,246,000 mcf of gas at an average
     price of $1.41 per mcf of gas and $14.26 per barrel of oil.  During the
     comparable quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company sold 16,000 barrels of oil
     and 2,325,000 mcf of gas at an average price of $2.04 per mcf of gas and
     $12.29 per barrel of oil.  Production quantities increased 82 percent on a
     barrel of oil equivalent basis, while product prices decreased 29 percent.
     Daily sales on an mcfe basis were 49,000 and 26,900 for the respective
     quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

     For the six months ended March 31, 1995, production revenue was $10.3
     million compared to revenues of $9.4 million for the six months ended March
     31, 1994.  The significant increases in production are the result of the
     operation of the gas plant and gas gathering system extension in the
     Piceance Basin and the production from the Cave Gulch project in the Wind
     River Basin, both of which commenced in December 1994.

                                       10

     Total revenues were $14.5 and $9.6 million for the quarters ended March 31,
     1995 and 1994 and total expenses were $13.6 million and $7.9 million,
     respectively.  For the six month periods, total revenues were $29.6 million
     and $19.5 million, and expenses were $28.4 million and $16.6 million.  The
     largest portion of the increases in revenues and expenses for the quarter
     and the six months is attributable to trading activities.

     In 1995, trading revenues were $7.8 million for the second quarter ($4.3
     million in 1994) and $18.5 million for the six month period ($9.4 million
     in 1994).  The associated costs of trading were $7.5 million and $4.2
     million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively and
     $17.9 million and $9.0 million for the respective six months.  Gross profit
     from trading increased to $.3 million from $.2 million for the quarter and
     to $.7 million from $.4 million for the six months.

     General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
     increased $.3 million to $1.5 million from the comparable 1994 quarter.
     For the six month period, these expenses increased from $2.4 million to
     $3.1 million.  These increases are primarily due to expenses related to the
     Company expanding its oil and gas activities in both existing and new
     prospect areas.

     Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased from $1.8 million to
     $3.0 million for the quarter and from $3.5 million to $4.8 million for the
     six month period.  The increase is due to production volume increases.
     During fiscal 1995 and 1994, depletion on oil and gas production was
     recorded at $3.90 and $4.26 per barrel of oil equivalent, respectively.

     If consummated, the proposed merger with Plains Petroleum Company will
     substantially increase the Company's total oil and gas production on a
     consolidated basis.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, Plains
     Petroleum produced 7.4 Bcf of gas and 405,400 barrels of oil.  The merger
     will be accounted for using the pooling of interests method which provides
     that previously reported results of the separate companies are restated on
     a combined basis.  Merger costs are recorded as an expense in the period
     incurred.

     The Company's largest source of operating income is from sales of its gas
     and oil production.  Therefore, the levels of the Company's revenues and
     earnings are affected by prices at which natural gas and oil are being
     sold.  This is particularly true with respect to natural gas, which
     accounts for approximately 94% of the Company's fiscal 1995 production
     revenues to date.  As a result, the Company's operating results for any
     prior period are not necessarily indicative of future operating results
     because of the fluctuations in gas and oil prices and the lack of
     predictability of those fluctuations as well as changes in production
     levels.
