Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1) The Condensed Balance Sheet as of November 30, 1996, the
Condensed Statements of Operations for the six months ended
November 30, 1996 and 1995, and the Condensed Statements of Cash
Flows for the six months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 have been
prepared by the Registrant without audit. In the opinion of the
Registrant, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
necessary to fairly present the financial position of the
Registrant as of November 30, 1996, the results of operations for
the six months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows for
the six months then ended.
2) 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 financial statements be read
in conjunction with the Registrant's May 31, 1996 Form 10-KSB.
3) The results of operations for the periods ended November
30, 1996 and 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant's working capital decreased during the most
recently completed six months by $6,100. This decrease was a
result of an increase of $3,500 in accounts payable to affiliates
and the reduction of $2,600 in cash. The increase in accounts
payable was as a result of USECB Joint Venture ("USECB"), a joint
venture between U.S. Energy, a major shareholder of the Registrant
and Crested Corp. paying certain administrative expenses for
Registrant. The decrease in cash is a result of the payment of
annual audit fees and filing fees to the SEC.
The Registrant anticipates that it will be able to meet its
capital requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31,
1997 if its affiliates do not call for the amounts due them.
However, the Registrant must secure drilling or construction
contracts or work out an agreement on its accounts due to
affiliates in order to continue operating long-term.
Results of Operations
The Registrant had no revenues from operations during the most
recently completed six months or the corresponding period of the
prior year. In both periods however, the Registrant recorded
interest revenue of $200 on funds held in interest bearing
accounts.
General and administrative costs decreased by $3,000 during
the six months ended November 30, 1996 over the same period of the
previous year. This decrease was primarily in professional
services.
The Registrant's operations consist primarily of
administrative activities associated with the preparation of
reports and documents required by law.
