Inc.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
          ----------------------------------------------

The Company and Midland Resources Operating Company ("MRO"), a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Midland Resources, Inc. ("MRI"), entered into a management 
agreement on August 28, 1989 which provides that MRO will provide day-to-day 
management, administrative, bookkeeping and accounting services to the 
Company. Legal, auditing, income tax advice and other third party provided 
services, including well operation charges for those wells MRO operated under 
written operating agreements with all of the working interest owners, were 
either paid directly by the Company or reimbursed to MRO. The management 
agreement was extended and amended on December 31, 1993 whereby the Company 
paid MRO a fee equal to $8,500 per month during 1995, and was to pay $8,000 
per month during 1996, and $7,500 per month during 1997 and thereafter, if it 
was then further extended without amendment.  However, effective January 1, 
1996 the management agreement was further amended whereby the Company will 
pay a reduced fee equal to $5,000 per month during 1996, $4,500 per month 
during 1997 and $4,000 per month during 1998.  As a result of the management 
agreement the Company does not maintain offices separate from those of MRI 
and MRO, nor does it employ a separate staff of 


                                       5

<PAGE>

administrative employees or compensate its officers or directors.  Management 
fees incurred under this agreement for the years ended July 31, 1993, 1994, 
1995 and 1996 were $120,000, $113,000, $104,500 and $77,500 respectively. 
This agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. 

MRO acts as operator of a substantial portion of the Company's oil and gas 
properties.  For all services performed as operator of those properties, MRO 
is entitled to receive the compensation and reimbursements provided the 
operator under the applicable operating agreement.  However, any charges by 
MRO under an operating agreement in such a situation for the use of its 
personnel, properties and equipment, as well as the prices of materials sold 
by it, must be at rates equal to the competitive charges of unaffiliated 
third parties for comparable services or materials in the same geographic 
area.  Further, those services can be provided only pursuant to a written 
agreement which precisely describes the services to be rendered and the 
compensation to be paid.  The Company's share of operation and supervision 
charges incurred on these properties for the years ended July 31, 1993, 1994, 
1995 and 1996 was $13,854, $18,852, $28,106 and $47,803 respectively. Until 
May, 1995, the Company leased a truck for use by its field personnel, and at 
times prior thereto, the Company had leased two trucks for such purpose, from 
MRO.  In May, 1995 the Company purchased, at trade in value, the two trucks 
formerly being leased.  Lease expenses incurred under these agreements for 
the years ended July 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $13,326, $8,283, and 
$4,200, respectively.  Terms of the lease agreement were determined from and 
are less than competitive market leases in the area.

Effective January 1, 1994 the Company purchased a 10% working interest with 
an approximate 8.75% revenue interest in certain oil and gas properties in 
Ward County, Texas from MRI for $85,696, which was MRI's actual cost adjusted 
for revenues and expenses through December 31, 1993.

Effective August 1, 1994 the Company acquired 10% of MRI's working interest 
in certain oil and gas properties in Coke and Howard Counties, Texas for 
$201,596, which was MRI's actual cost adjusted for revenues and expenses from 
August 1, 1994 through August 15, 1994, the closing date, and transaction 
costs.

Effective May 26, 1995, the Company, in participation with MRI, acquired a 
five percent working interest in certain oil and gas leases and seismic 
options in the Sunburst Project, Terry County, Texas, and the Latigo Project, 
Hockley County, Texas in exchange for a commitment to expend certain monies 
in connection with certain oil and gas leases, seismic options, conducting 
3-D geophysical surveys, interpretation of 3-D seismic data and the drilling 
of two or more test wells.  MRO will operate the projects.  Closing occurred 
on July 14, 1995.  

Effective July 11, 1995, the Company acquired a five percent working interest 
in certain oil and gas leases and seismic options in the Lakota Project, 
Hockley County, Texas in exchange for a commitment to expend certain monies 
in connection with certain oil and gas leases, seismic options, conducting 
3-D geophysical surveys, interpretation of 3-D seismic data and the drilling 
of one or more test wells.  MRO will operate the project.  

Effective September 1, 1995, the Company participated with MRI in the 
acquisition of working interests in certain Redfish Bay properties in Nueces 
County, Texas.  The Company acquired approximately a 4% working interest (on 
the same basis as MRI) for approximately $82,000.

Beginning July 18, 1996 and ending September 18, 1996, MRI, through its wholly
owned subsidiary MRI Acquisition Corp., conducted a tender offer ("Offer") for
all of the Company's common stock at a per share price of $0.70 and all
outstanding options at a net price per option share of $0.6375, pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 17, 1996.  MRI acquired 81.5% of the
Company's common stock pursuant to the  Offer.  Deas H. Warley III, is the
President and Chairman of the Company and prior to his sale pursuant to the
Offer owned directly and beneficially approximately 37.50% of the Company shares
through direct ownership of 806,250 shares and options granted June 1, 1995 to
acquire 150,000 shares at $0.0625 per share.  The options 


                                       6

<PAGE>

were canceled under the Offer upon payment of a net price of $0.6375 per 
share. Mr. Warley is the President and Chairman of MRIAcq. and MRI and owns 
directly and beneficially approximately 37% of MRI.  Prior to the acquisition 
of MRO by MRI in December 1993 for common stock, Mr. Warley owned 80% of MRO. 
MRO has managed the Company under a management agreement since 1989.  The two 
other members of the Company's board of directors are Messrs. Darrell Dillard 
and Wayne Whitaker.  Mr. Dillard was the Company's independent auditor for 
fiscal years 1991 through 1993, was the auditor MRI for fiscal years 1989 
through 1993, was the auditor of MRO from 1989 through 1993, has been a 
director of MRI since 1994 and been a director, vice president and Chief 
Financial Officer of MRI since 1995.  During fiscal years 1991 through 1993 
the Company paid Mr. Dillard $46,890, $14,600 and $14,000, respectively for 
auditing and related accounting and tax advice, and for fiscal years 1994 
through 1996 the Company paid Mr. Dillard $14,600, $18,485 and $4,000, 
respectively, for accounting and tax advice. Mr. Dillard was granted on June 
1, 1995 options to acquire 50,000 shares (2.04% of the outstanding shares 
after exercise) at $0.0625 per share that were canceled upon a net payment of 
$0.6375 per option share pursuant to the Offer. Mr. Dillard owns less than 1% 
of MRI's outstanding common stock.  Mr. Whitaker and the law firm of which he 
is a partner has represented the Company since 1989, MRI since 1990, MRO 
since 1990, and represents MRIAcq. Mr. Whitaker has been a director of the
