                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             FEBRUARY 28, 1997

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements include the accounts of Alfa Resources, Inc., (Alfa
or the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Granite Alfa Corporation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a
going concern.  However, the Company has depleted its working capital because
of past operating losses, and has experienced the loss of production income
because most of its oil and gas properties have been sold.  Certain current
production revenue is being withheld by operators to liquidate trade payables,
and this situation is expected to continue through much of fiscal year 1997. 
Management intends to use unencumbered production revenue and other sources to
meet reduced administrative costs and continue in operation, but this cannot
be assured.  A decrease in the price of oil or other unexpected circumstances
could cause operations to cease within a short period of time.

A subsidiary ("Subsidiary") which was 80% owned by Alfa has been liquidated.

OIL AND GAS ACCOUNTING

The Company and its subsidiaries account for oil and gas properties using the
"full cost" method.  Under this method, all costs associated with property
acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized, including
costs of unsuccessful activities.  Oil and gas properties are depleted using
the units-of-production method based on the ratio of current period production
to estimated proved oil and gas reserve quantities.  No gain or loss resulting
from the disposition of oil and gas properties is recognized unless the
relationship between capitalized costs and reserves in the cost center is 
significantly changed.

In addition to normal depletion, net capitalized costs are subject to a
ceiling limitation required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 
Such costs are limited to the present value (discounted at 10%) of the future
net revenues from proved oil and gas properties, using year end costs and
prices, after considering potential future income tax effects.  There were no
charges related to the ceiling limitation during the years quarter.

Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized upon sale to unaffiliated
purchasers.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents include money-market accounts or other highly-liquid debt
instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. 
                                   -6-
<PAGE>
USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates.   The unaudited oil and
gas reserve estimates prepared by management should be considered as
reasonably possible to change, which can affect depletion and the net carrying
value of oil and gas properties.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 
Shares issued to insiders are considered to be outstanding from the beginning
of the period issued.   Common stock equivalents represented by options are
not included as shares outstanding if their effect is antidilutive, or if
estimated market value has not exceeded exercise price.

2.   ADJUSTMENTS

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring  accruals only)
necessary to present fairly, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 28,
1997, and the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated
Statement of Cash flow for the nine months then ended.

3.   ADDITIONAL DETAILS

For additional details of the Company's financial condition, refer to the
notes to the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended May 31,
1996, filed in the Company's Form 10-KSB annual report.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to have working capital problems because of continued
losses and has sold property to satisfy debts.  Several properties were not
able to generate sufficient revenue to pay operating costs in prior years and
were shut in and subsequently disposed of.  At February 28, 1997, the Company
had a working capital in the amount of $4,333.  Management has liquidated its
subsidiary.  Management's intent is to use the Company as a public shell
merger candidate.

Some current production revenue is currently being withheld by operators to
liquidate operators' liens for trade payables and this situation is expected
to continue through fiscal 1997.  Management intends to use unencumbered pro-
duction revenue and other sources, such as sales proceeds, to meet reduced
administrative costs and continue in operation, but this cannot be assured.  A
decrease in the price of oil could cause operations to cease within a short
period of time.  If the Company is not able to sell assets and to settle its
debts, the Company may not be able to continue in business.

Cash flows provided (used) in operations for the nine months ended February
28, 1997, and 1996, were $6,788 and $(76,458) respectively.  The increase in
cash provided during the last period is principally due to the payment of
accrual expenses and the collection of receivables.
                                   -7-

Sale of oil and gas properties provided $3,286 in for the nine months ended
February 28 , 1997 compared to $-0- in the nine month period ended February
28, 1996.

Alfa sells most of its oil production to three major oil companies.  However,
in the event these purchasers discontinued oil purchases, Alfa has made
contact with other purchasers who would purchase the oil.

Alfa's past strategy has been the merger with or acquisition of other small
independent oil and gas production companies and the acquisition of interests
in producing oil and gas properties in exchange for cash and shares of Alfa's
equity securities.  Alfa's current financial position makes it extremely
difficult to accomplish this business plan.  Alfa's long-term needs, if it is
able to overcome its current financial deficit,  will continue to depend on
many outside factors beyond its control, such as the demand for oil and
natural gas, the price of oil and gas, the general economic climate and Alfa's
ability to raise additional capital and to find a merger candidate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1997 COMPARED TO FEBRUARY 29, 1996

Alfa's oil and gas sales increased 22% to $11,010 in 1997 from  $9,053 in
1996.  This increase is primarily due to the increase in oil prices.
Management fees decreased 57% to $1,500 in 1997 from $3,477 in 1996.  This
decrease is due to discontinuation of the services the Company was providing. 
Interest and other income decreased to $202 in 1997 from $573,681 in 1996.

Production expenses decreased 79% to $3,620 in 1997 from $17,585 in 1996. This
decrease resulted primarily from sale of properties.  General and
Administrative expenses decreased 74% to $3,750 in 1997 from $14,261 in 1996. 
This decrease is due to decreased activity of the Company and management's
attempt to decrease expenses which reduced salaries and other costs and the
discontinued operations of its Subsidiary. 

Since net operating revenues from Alfa's oil production are very sensitive to
changes in the price of oil, it is difficult for management to predict whether
or not the Company will be profitable in the future.  Unless oil prices
continue to increase, the Company will not be able to produce its marginal
properties and since management has reduced its services, total revenues will
continue to decline.

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN PRICES

     Changes in prices during the past few years have been a significant
factor in the oil and gas industry.  The price received for the oil and gas
produced by Alfa has fluctuated significantly during the last year. Changes in
the price that Alfa receives for its oil and gas is set by market forces
beyond Alfa's control. That uncertainty in oil and gas prices make it more
difficult for a company like Alfa to increase its oil and gas asset base and
become a significant participant in the oil and gas industry.
