ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Between November 30, 1994 and September 1, 1995, the Company acquired three
gathering systems and one delivery system for approximately $1.9 million. These
acquisitions added 42 miles of pipeline and 66,000 MCF/D capacity to its
existing pipeline network.
The Company also opened operations (Gateway Pipeline Company and its
subsidiary Castex Energy, Inc.) in Houston, Texas with the acquisition of
certain oil and gas producing properties and lease prospects. Gateway Pipeline
has formed a marketing division and has begun to market gas produced by Castex
as well as other small amounts of gas. Since January 1, 1995, the Company has
advanced $.7 million to Gateway Pipeline and Castex for its share of drilling
costs and the acquisition of additional drilling prospects.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO 1994
Operating profit decreased from $608,600 in 1994 to $206,500 in 1995.
Operating margins from all joint ventures, including Fort Cobb Irrigation and
Fuel Authority, before depreciation increased $335,100 from 1994. This increase
was the result of new acquisitions made in 1995 of $374,400 and acquisitions
made throughout the nine month period in 1994 of $91,600. These increases were
offset by decreases of $130,800 in operating margins from properties acquired
prior to March 1, 1994.
The major decrease in net operating margins occurred on the Destino system.
The system has been shut down since May 1995 as the result of the lack of
capacity on the main interconnection to the system. This shutdown has lowered
operating margins by $104,400 from the comparable period in
-1-
<PAGE>
1994. The joint venture operator is exploring other connections and is
negotiating with the owner of the interconnected line to increase Destino's
access to the line.
Lower gas prices throughout much of 1995 have also contributed to lower
operating margins. Natural gas prices throughout the spring and summer were
substantially lower than in 1994. Natural gas prices ranged from $1.17 to $1.55
per MMBTU in 1995 compared to $1.51 to $2.01 per MMBTU in 1994. Lower gas
prices reduce the margin retained by the Company since most purchase contracts
are based on a percentage of the index or sales price. Also, producers are
reluctant to produce wells at high volume when gas prices are depressed.
The major reason for the decrease in operating profit is the costs
associated with the start up of Gateway Pipeline Company ("Pipeline") in
Houston. This operating subsidiary sustained a net operating loss of $323,000
for the nine months ended November 30, 1995. Pipeline was formed to acquire,
operate and manage gas gathering systems and acquire and develop oil and gas
producing properties. Pipeline has been actively pursuing such acquisitions and
development, however, in the nine months ended November 30, 1995, no significant
properties were acquired except a delivery system in Texas County, Oklahoma.
Pipeline and its subsidiary, Castex Energy, Inc. expect to make several
acquisitions in the fourth quarter which will generate sufficient operating
profit to cover operating overhead expenses.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $177,400 in 1995
compared to 1994. This increase reflects higher salaries and wages and higher
legal and accounting fees from increased corporate activities and higher costs
of shareholder and investor relations for annual and quarterly reports and other
communications. Other increases in general and administrative expenses are due
to Gateway Pipeline and Ft. Cobb Fuel Authority.
The net loss applicable to common stock of $1,426,200 is a result of the
lower operating profit discussed above and an increase in preferred stock
dividends of $897,600 of which $189,400 is attributable to greater amortization
of the Series G offering costs. The Company continues to raise funds for
investment through preferred stock issues. However, delays in investing the
funds in operating properties and start-up time required for acquired properties
have increased the preferred stock dividend requirements relative to operating
profits.
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995, COMPARED TO 1994
Net operating profit for the three months ended November 30, 1995 decreased
$98,900 compared to the similar period in the prior year. Properties acquired
after November 30, 1994, increased operating profit by $142,700. However,
properties acquired in the three month period in 1994 contributed $29,800 less
to operating profit in 1995 compared to 1994. Operating profit from properties
acquired before August 31, 1994, and thus owned for each quarter increased
$34,700 in 1995 compared to 1994.
Operating profit from the EPNG system increased $107,000 largely due to
increased nominations from the system. This increase from EPNG which was
acquired prior to August 31, 1994 was offset by reductions at White Ranch of
$32,300 due to increased operating costs, and at Destino of $38,900 due to a
shutdown of the system for lack of capacity on the main interconnect pipeline.
-2-
<PAGE>
Operating profit from the Rockdale system decreased $28,800 from the previous
year due to lower gas prices and higher operating costs to correct processing
inefficiencies.
The net operating profit was further adversely affected by operating losses
of $118,600 incurred by Gateway Pipeline Company. As discussed above, Pipeline
has not yet been able to acquire significant natural gas properties which
provide sufficient operating revenues to cover general and administrative
overhead.
Corporate general and administrative expenses increased by $69,800
reflecting wage and salary increases and higher legal and accounting fees.
Costs associated with improved reporting to shareholders also increased during
the current quarter. The remaining increase is due to costs at Gateway Pipeline
and Ft. Cobb Fuel Authority.
Net loss for common shares was $483,500 in 1995, a $248,500 decrease from
the prior year quarter. This decrease is due to lower operating profits
discussed above and an increase in preferred stock dividends of $235,700.
Preferred stock dividends includes an additional $31,800 of amortization for
Series G Preferred Stock. Delays in acquiring properties and start-up time
related to those properties have increased preferred stock dividends relative to
operating profits.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company successfully raised $10,000,000 through its offering of Series
G Preferred Stock and closed the offering in January 1995. In February 1995 the
Company began offering its Series N Preferred Stock to accredited investors. As
of December 31, 1995, $2,944,000 of Series N has been sold. As of November 30,
1995, the Company had $474,700 of funds available for acquisitions.
The Company received, from its primary bank, a $750,000 bridge acquisition
line of credit. In December, $575,000 was advanced to acquire natural gas
gathering systems in Texas offshore waters. The advance will be repaid with
proceeds from Series N. The Company's subsidiary, Castex Energy, Inc., has
obtained a commitment from a major bank for a $15 million credit facility. $10
million of this commitment will be used, along with equity funds supplied by
Series N proceeds, to purchase oil and gas producing properties in Louisiana.
The remaining funds will be available to develop other lease prospects owned by
Castex.
The Company has also obtained a $650,000 bridge loan to fund certain oil
and gas acquisitions. Such bridge loan will be repaid from Series O Preferred
Stock which will be sold to accredited investors.
The Company generated cash flow from operations of $65,900 in 1995 compared
to $331,200 in 1994. In 1995, the Company used reserves of $67,700 from the
proceeds of Series N and $220,400 of reserves from the issuance of Series G, as
described in the respective Private Placement Memorandums, to pay Series N and
Series G dividends. In December the Company received one half ($140,000) of the
expected settlement in a bankruptcy proceeding. The Company believes that cash
flow from operations, its short-term borrowing capacity and the continued sales
of Series N Preferred Stock will be adequate to fund current operations and
provide the equity financing necessary to accomplish future acquisitions.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has been named as a third party defendent in a lawsuit
filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas on November 28,
1995. Nuevo Energy Company, a defendant in a lawsuit filed by
Shoreham Pipeline Company as operator/manager of the Encinitas Joint
Venture, has filed a countersuit claiming damages of approximately
$4,000,000. These damages allegedly are the result of the lawsuit by
Shoreham which prevented Nuevo from selling certain leases. The
action is currently in discovery.

<PAGE>
GATEWAY ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, such financial
statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gateway
Energy Corporation (formerly Gateway Gathering Systems, Inc.), its eighty
percent (80%) owned subsidiary, Gateway Pipeline Company and the Fort Cobb
Oklahoma Irrigation Fuel Authority (99% owned by the Company). The Company's
investments in its joint ventures are accounted for using the proportional
consolidation method. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
(2) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or income tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax
basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates in effect
when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.
Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
(3) Preferred Stock
Gateway Pipeline Company, the Company's eighty percent (80%) owned
subsidiary, initiated a private offering of preferred stock to accredited
investors. The preferred stock has been designated as 10% Cumulative
Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends are paid quarterly at the
stated rate of 10%, with provisions for an additional 3% depending on earnings
of the properties acquired with the proceeds. The Preferred Stock is
convertible into the Company's common stock after twenty-four months at a
conversion price equal to ninety percent (90%) of the average bid price. The
Company may call the Series A Preferred Stock after twenty-four months at stated
value. The Company may require conversion after twenty-four months, if
shareholders have received cumulative dividends of thirteen percent (13%), at a
conversion price equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the average bid price.
As of November 30, 1995, $386,000 of the Series A Preferred Stock has been sold.
-9-
<PAGE>
(4) Short-Term Promissory Note
On September 28, 1995, the Company issued a Promissory Note due December
28, 1995, to a shareholder in exchange for $235,000 in cash. The proceeds were
used for working capital purposes due to delays in collecting funds from a major
creditor. The Note bears interest at 11% per annum, and as a commitment to the
issuer, the Company issued 20,000 shares of common stock and a warrant to
purchase an additional 60,000 shares at $.25 per share. The Note was extended
to March 28, 1996 and will be repaid from the proceeds from the bankruptcy
proceedings involving a former major customer.
(5) Acquisition Letter of Credit
On December 15, 1995, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit
agreement with a bank with maximum available borrowings of $750,000. Interest
is payable monthly at 2.5% above the bank's base rate beginning in November
1995. All outstanding principal and interest is due and payable October 31,
1996, the maturity date. Interests in certain of the Company's joint ventures
and all deposit and escrow accounts at the bank have been pledged as collateral
for the line.
On December 18, 1995, the bank advanced $575,000 against this line to
purchase an 80% interest in certain gathering systems in Texas offshore waters.
Such advance is expected to be repaid from proceeds from the sales of Series N
Preferred Stock.
(6) Bridge Loan
On November 30, 1995, the Company issued two (2) Promissory Notes for a
total of $650,000 due February 28, 1996, or May 31, 1996, if extended by the
Company. The proceeds from the notes are being used to acquire the Company's
interest in the South Lake Arthur properties (See Note 7b) and are intended to
be repaid from the proceeds of Series O Preferred Stock which is being offered
to accredited investors.
The Notes provide for interest at 11% per annum which may be paid with
common stock of the Company at $.35 per share. As part of the commitment, the
Company issued 37,500 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 82,875
shares of common stock at $.35 per share.
(7) Subsequent Events
(a) Acquisition of Offshore Gathering Systems - On December 15, 1995,
the Company's eighty percent (80%) owned subsidiary, Shoreham
Gathering Company, acquired eight separate gathering systems in
Texas state waters offshore. The systems were purchased for cash
of $710,000 and consist of approximately 49 miles of various size
pipe. Six of the eight systems are inactive but are located in
areas where there is considerable lease and drilling activity.
-10-
<PAGE>
(b) Agreement to Purchase Production Properties - Castex Energy,
Inc., the Company's oil and gas producing company, is currently
negotiating a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire ownership
interests in numerous oil and gas producing properties located in
the South Lake Arthur field in Jefferson Davis and Vermillion
Parishes, in Louisiana for $11.1 million, effective July 1, 1995.
The closing is expected to be on or before February 15, 1996.
Castex has accumulated funds from Gateway ($800,000) and other
investors to make a deposit of $1.0 million and has received a
commitment from a bank for a credit facility of up to $15.0
million, $10.0 million of which will be used to complete the
acquisition and $5.0 million of which will be used to fund future
drilling activity on prospects currently controlled by Castex.
It is expected that the South Lake Arthur properties and the
lease prospects will be transferred to a limited partnership of
which Gateway Energy Corporation will own approximately 60%.
Castex Energy, Inc. will be the general partner and will manage
the limited partnership. Certain officers of Castex and other
individuals will own the remaining 40% of the limited
partnership.
