TATONKA ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The balance sheet of Tatonka Energy, Inc. (the "Company") as of
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the statements of
operation for the quarters and six months ending June 30, 1996
and 1995, and the statements of cash flows for the periods then
ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the 
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
all periods presented have been made.

The balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been taken from the 
audited financial statements at that date, and condensed.
Certain other 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 condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in its December
31, 1995 annual report to shareholders.  The results of
operations for the period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
year.

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, only cash is used
as the Company does not have any items meeting the definitions
of cash equivalents contained in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 95.

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

Six months ended June 30, 1996 versus
six months ended June 30, 1995

Results of Operations

Interest income decreased by $447 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996 and decreased by $140 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period for 1995.
This is due to a reduction in cash available for investment.

Depreciation decreased by $1,316 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period for 1995. General
and administrative expenses decreased by $8,030 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996 and decreased by $5,546 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the
same period for 1995.  This decrease is mainly due to reduced
professional services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital at June 30, 1996 was $88,487
versus $104,805 at December 31, 1995, for a decrease in working
capital of $16,318.  This is due to the payment of
administrative fees such as audit and management fees.  

Management is of the opinion that the Company is dependent upon
obtaining additional working capital to continue operations.
The Company's immediate needs for working capital include
development or purchase of oil and gas properties.  The Company
is currently looking to acquire larger working interest in a
small number of properties with increased upside potential.  In
the future, the Company's efforts to obtain additional capital
include continuing efforts to conduct a public or private
offering of the Company's equity securities, and proposed
acquisitions of additional oil and gas properties in exchange
for common stock of the Company.  During 1995, management met
with several investment bankers and broker-dealers in an effort
to generate interest in conducting a public offering of the
Company's securities.  However, as of June 30, 1996 such
discussions had not resulted in an agreement for such offering.
Nonetheless, the Company will continue to investigate
opportunities which are presented through the contacts of
management.

The Company does not have a formal plan for capital expenditures
in 1996 and will continue to depend on internally generated
funds as its major source of liquidity, as it has no unused
line of credit or any formal arrangements with any lending
institution to borrow any funds.
