Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

    2.  On December 1, 1998, but effective November 1, 1998, Calcasieu Real
        Estate and Oil Co., Inc., along with the other owners of the lands known
        as Walker Louisiana Properties, purchased on a pro-rata basis the 25%
        interest owned by Fina Oil and Chemical Company. The purchase price was
        $607,500. Walker Louisiana Properties consists of 34,309 acres of
        timber, agriculture and marsh lands. The purchase increased Calcasieu's
        ownership from an undivided one-eighth interest to an undivided one-
        sixth interest or an increase of 1,429 net acres. The purchase included
        all minerals on the property owned by Fina. The Company borrowed
        $450,000 from Bank One. Registrant intends to continue the same use of
        the property. In addition, the Company purchased the 18,350 shares of
        Calcasieu Real Estate and Oil Co., Inc. common stock owned by Fina Oil
        and Chemical Company at a price of $3 per share.

        The Board of Directors voted to suspend dividend payments until such
        time as the new note for $450,000 is paid in full. This is estimated to
        take from two to four years.
