ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                       RIO GRANDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1)  Accounting Policies

         The accounting policies of Rio Grande, Inc. and Subsidiaries as set
     forth in the notes to the Company's audited financial statements in the
     Form 10-K Report filed for the year ended January 31, 1995, are
     incorporated herein by reference.  Refer to those notes for additional
     details of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
     cash flows.  All material items included in those notes have not changed
     except as a result of normal transactions in the interim, or any items
     which are disclosed in this report.

         In the opinion of management, the condensed combined financial
     statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair
     presentation of the financial position and results of operations.
     Adjustments made for the three-month period ended April 30, 1995 are
     considered normal and recurring in nature.

         The Company adopted the successful efforts method of accounting for
     the oil and gas properties purchased.  Under this method of accounting,
     the acquisition costs of the oil and gas properties applicable to proved
     reserves are amortized on the unit-of-production method as produced.
     Future development costs or exploratory costs applicable to purchased
     properties are capitalized and amortized on the unit-of-production method
     if proved reserves are discovered or expensed if the well is a dry hole.

         Per share computations are based on the weighted average number of
     shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the
     respective periods.  Fully dilutive earnings per share is the same as
     earnings per common and common equivalent shares.

(2)  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("Statement 109")

         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     109, Accounting for Income Taxes, effective February 1, 1993.  Statement
     109 requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income
     taxes under APB Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method.  Under the
     asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the
     tax consequences resulting from "temporary differences" by applying
     enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years.  These "temporary
     differences" are associated with differences between the financial
     statement amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  A
     valuation allowance is utilized to reduce deferred tax assets to their
     expected realizable amount.  A valuation allowance has been established to
     decrease total gross deferred tax assets to the amount of the total gross
     tax liabilities due to the uncertainties involved in the ultimate
     realization of the deferred tax assets.

ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(3)  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("Statement 121")

         Statement 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
     long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related
     to those assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain
     identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  Statement 121 is effective
     for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
     1995, although earlier application is recommended.  The Company
     anticipates that the implementation of Statement 121 will be on an annual
     basis upon the receipt of the annual estimate of reserves from the
     independent petroleum reserve engineers retained by the Company.


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

         1.      Material Changes in Financial Condition.

                 There were no material changes in the financial condition of
         the Company for the period from the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995
         through the three months ended April 30, 1995.

         2.      Material Changes in Results of Operations.

                 Oil and Gas Production Segment

                 For the quarter ended April 30, 1995, revenues from oil and
         gas production were approximately $1,028,000 as compared to $936,000
         for the quarter ended April 30, 1994.  Production operating expenses
         for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 were approximately $479,000 as
         compared to the operating expense of $277,000 for the quarter ended
         April 30, 1994.  The increase in operating expenses is the result of
         additional expenses incurred from the additional oil and gas
         properties acquired in 1994.  Revenues did not increase commensurate
         with expenses due to lower gas prices during the first quarter.  The
         average price of gas sold during the quarter ended April 30, 1995 was
         $1.63 per MCF as compared to $2.30 per MCF during the quarter ended
         April 30, 1994.

                 The Company utilizes the successful efforts method of
         accounting for its oil and gas properties.  Amortization expenses for
         the quarter ended April 30, 1995 based on the unit-of-production
         method were approximately $332,000 for 509 MMCF equivalent units of
         production.  Amortization expenses for the quarter ended April 30,
         1994, were approximately $287,000 for 304 MMCF equivalent units of
         production.

                 Interest expense for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 was
         approximately $78,000.  Interest expense for the quarter ended April
         30, 1994 was approximately $13,000.  Interest expense increased due to
         the additional debt incurred with the acquisition of oil and gas
         properties in 1994.

                 General and administrative expenses  for the quarter ended
         April 30, 1995 were approximately $304,000 as compared to $171,000 for
         the quarter ended April 30, 1994.  The increase in general and
         administrative expenses is the result of the addition of office space
         and employees necessary to operate the additional oil and gas
         properties acquired in 1994.  As the operator of these oil and gas
         properties, the Company charges participating working interest





                                      -7-

         owners, including an affiliated limited partnership, for overhead
         based on the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies ("COPAS")
         monthly rates.  COPAS overhead rates are charged on an individual well
         basis to reimburse the operator for general costs of executive and
         administrative functions incurred at the home office.  General and
         administrative expenses were not reduced significantly by charges to
         other working interest owners since the Company is the majority owner
         of the operated oil and gas properties.

                 Liquidity and Capital Resources

                 In May 1995, Rio Grande Offshore, Ltd. sold its interest in a
         certain oil and gas property located offshore of Louisiana.  Proceeds
         from the sale of this property were approximately $1,290,000, which
         resulted in a gain on sale to the partnership of approximately
         $1,129,000.  Rio Grande Drilling Company, as an eighty percent (80%)
         partner, received a cash distribution of approximately $1,032,000 from
         the sale of which $800,000 was applied as a principal payment on the
         Company's outstanding debt.  As a result of the principal payment, the
         bank agreed to reduce principal and interest payments from $122,000 to
         $50,000 per month beginning June 1995 through August 1995.
         Thereafter, the monthly payments for principal and interest will be
         $61,000 until the debt matures in May 1996.  The Company intends to
         seek a renewal and extension of the scheduled remaining bank debt of
         approximately $1,400,000 in May 1996 on or before the maturity date.
         The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds from the sale to
         enhance certain oil and gas properties.

                 Lower gas prices are the primary reason for the decline in the
         Company's financial performance during the quarter ended April 30,
         1995.  Approximately seventy percent (70%) of the Company's sales
         production volume is from gas.  The average gas price for the first
         quarter of 1995 was approximately seventy cents per MCF less than the
         average for the first quarter of 1994.  The Company's ability to meet
         its current financial commitments and to have access to additional
         working capital to operate and develop its existing oil and gas
         properties is dependent on the market prices for oil and natural gas
         and the production levels of the specific properties.  Production
         levels have remained relatively stable.  At current levels of
         production, if market prices, particularly natural gas prices, decline
         materially from current levels, no assurances can be given that the
         Company will be able to meet its current obligations or secure
         additional working capital for development of existing properties or
         acquisition of additional properties.

                 The Company is not obligated to provide a fixed or
         determinable quantity of oil or gas in the future under any existing
         contracts, agreements or any hedge or swap arrangements.
