GREAT EASTERN ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

     Third Quarter 1995 Compared to Third Quarter 1994.  The
Company's third quarter of fiscal 1995 operations reflected a net
loss of $44,000 as compared to net loss of $145,000 for the
corresponding quarter of fiscal 1994.  Profits from oil and gas
operations increased in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
to $114,000 as compared to $77,000 for the corresponding quarter of
fiscal 1994.

     A decrease in production volumes from coalbed methane gas
wells coupled with a decrease in product prices have contributed to
a decline in gas transmission sales.  Consequently, the volume and
price decreases have resulted in a loss of $10,000 from natural gas
transmission operations for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 as
compared to a profit of $17,000 for the corresponding quarter of
fiscal 1994.

     Installment sales income of $15,000, net of depreciation,
depletion and amortization of $66,000, is reflected in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995 consolidated statement of operations as
compared to installment sales income of $58,000, net of
depreciation, depletion and amortization of $84,000 for the
corresponding quarter of fiscal 1994.  The decrease in installment
sales income resulted from a decrease in production volumes from
coalbed methane gas wells.

     During the third quarter of fiscal 1994 the Company incurred
a cost of $88,000 to settle litigation associated with the Patton
shareholders who dissented from the exchange offer of Great Eastern
shares for Patton shares.  No additional costs were incurred in the
corresponding quarter of fiscal 1995.

     First Three Quarters 1995 Compared to First Three Quarters 1994. 
The Company's first three quarters of fiscal 1995 operations reflected
a loss of $254,000 as compared to net loss of $136,000 for the
corresponding three quarters of fiscal 1994.  Decreased costs of production
has resulted in increased profits from oil and gas operations to $289,000
in the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 as compared to $231,000 for the
corresponding three quarters of fiscal 1994.

     Declining production volumes coupled with declining product
prices have contributed to decreased gas transmission sales.  The
volume and price decreases have contributed to a loss of $63,000  
from natural gas transmission operations for the first three quarters of 
fiscal 1995 as compared to a profit of $159,000 for the corresponding
three quarters of fiscal 1994.

     Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased slightly to
$152,000 for the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 as compared to
$159,000 during the corresponding three quarters of fiscal 1994.

     Depreciation, depletion and amortization of properties, held
under installment sales decreased to $218,000 for the first three 
quarters of fiscal 1995 as compared to $421,000 for the corresponding
three quarters of fiscal 1994.  The decrease is a result of lesser 
amounts received from installment sales, $271,000 in the first three
quarters of fiscal 1995 as compared to $452,000 received in the first 
three quarters of fiscal 1994.  The depreciation for properties held
under installment sale is charged against the related revenue.

Current Operations

     Since January 1, 1995, the Company has installed a second
waterflood in the SW Wil Field, Edwards County, Kansas and drilled
a salt water disposal well in southeastern Kansas.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working Capital.  The Company had working capital of $898,000
and $748,000 at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. 
The Company has no bank debt and no oil and gas properties are
pledged as collateral.  Management believes that the Company's
liquidity is adequate to meet operating activities for fiscal 1995. 
Oil and gas development activities will be funded solely from
excess cash generated from operations and from proceeds generated
from the installment sale of certain southeastern Kansas coalbed
methane gas properties.

     Future Operations.  Some selected developmental drilling for
gas may be conducted in Kansas.  No exploratory wells are scheduled
to be drilled in 1995.

     SFAS 121.  The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
SFAS 121, Impairment of Long Lived Assets.  The effective date for
implementation is for year-ends beginning after December 15, 1996.
The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of this new
pronouncement on the Company's financial statements.

     Other.  On September 26, 1994, the Company retained the
services of Kirkpatrick Energy Associates, Inc. ("Kirkpatrick"), an
investment banking firm, to evaluate options available to the
Company to maximize shareholder value, including a possible sale of
the Company.  To date, Kirkpatrick has not presented any
recommendations to the Company and its Board of Directors.  In the
current industry environment, the Company has decided to terminate
its relationship with Kirkpatrick except as to those companies identified
and considered by Kirkpatrick to be active and viable candidates for
the purchase of, or merger with, the Company.  There is no assurance
that any action or a possible sale will occur.

     During the quarter the Company contracted to sell its undeveloped 
foreign real estate for $139,811.00, resulting in a loss of $66,506.00.
Also, through a taking by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT),
one of the wells included in the installment sales transaction was
conveyed to KDOT resulting in a gain of $83,865.00 to the Company.
