     REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





Board of Directors
Golden Triangle Royalty & Oil, Inc.
Albuquerque, New Mexico

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Golden
Triangle Royalty & Oil, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical
review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, retained
earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein);
and in our report dated March 15, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

                               (Unaudited)
                             March 31, 1996


NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.  They do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change
in the information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.  In the opinion of Management, all adjust-
ments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  The report of Robert Early & Company,
P.C. commenting on their review accompanies the condensed financial state-
ments included in Item 1 of Part 1.  Operating results for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.


NOTE 2:  AMORTIZATION OF EXPENSES

During December 1993 and January 1994 the Company entered into agreements
with Hunter Equities, Inc. and others for marketing, public relations, and
other management services.  Under the terms of these agreements, these
services were to be provided over a three year period.  Pursuant to the
terms of these agreements, certain expenses were prepaid.  This situation
requires amortization of the expense over the term of the agreement.
Amortization of these expenses (included in "Advertising and public
relations") totaled $12,500 for this quarter.


NOTE 3: CONSTRUCTION OF WATER PLANTS

During the first quarter, the Company substantially completed construction
of two fresh water delivery sites.  The total cost of these locations at
March 31, 1996 was $58,456.  These plants were placed in service early in
the second quarter.


NOTE 4: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to March 31, 1996, the Company purchased an existing salt
water disposal site for a total of $750,000 from TransTexas Gas Corporation
(a significant customer).  This purchase was paid for with cash and credits
against current receivables from TransTexas.  This facility is expected to
throughput in excess of 150,000 barrels of water per month and generate a
monthly return on investment of approximately two percent beginning in May
1996.  It is located in an area in which the Company has had no competing
disposal sites and essentially has no nearby competition.  The Company
financed this transaction partially through internal cash balances and
largely through short-term loans from officers and directors.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations


GENERAL DISCUSSION

The first quarter of 1996 was the best quarter for disposal and service
revenues since GTRO acquired the south Texas operations in 1993.  Disposal
and service revenues were $537,840.  Of this, approximately $51,000 was
from the sale of skim oil.  Skim oil is residual oil collected from the
holding tanks for water which has been delivered to the disposal sites for
injection.  Disposal and service revenues for the first quarter of 1995
were $428,897 and were $529,026 for the fourth quarter of 1995.  Management
expects disposal and service revenues to continue at record levels in the
second quarter.

Both oil and gas prices began to improve during the latter part of the
first quarter.  Wellhead oil prices increased to as high as $23.50 per
barrel from $16.50.  Gas was $2.50 per MCF which was up from $1.35.  These
increases are beneficial to the Company's disposal operations through
increased gas production at the wells operated and serviced by the
Company's customers.

Another advantage of the higher energy prices, in conjunction with the
rainy season being over, is that it has encouraged the Australian operators
to drill new wells.  Santos completed the Tarbat No. 4, which tested 1,222
barrels of oil per day in initial tests, on ATP 299.  The Tarbat No. 5 is
currently being drilled and the Tarbat No. 6 has been announced for
drilling following the No. 5 well.  Another new well has been completed in
the Talgeberry field.  The Company holds a 1.463% override under ATP 299. 
There are now a total of 32 oil wells on this concession which covers
861,000 acres.  The Company expects additional drilling to occur during the
second quarter.


ASSETS

The total assets of the Company grew $125,738 during the current quarter to
$6,281,763 from $6,156,025 on December 31, 1995.  This increase is
principally due to the purchase of disposal equipment and increased
accounts receivable.  Total assets as of March 31, 1995 were $5,213,780.

Current assets were $1,303,092 on March 31, 1996 compared to $770,577 on
March 31, 1995.  Current assets also increased when compared to the
December 31, 1995 number ($1,208,153), primarily due to an increase in
accounts receivable from $958,436 to $1,090,279.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities represents GTRO's
liquidity.  The liquidity ratio on March 31, 1996 was 2.83:1 compared to
2.67:1 on December 31, 1995 and 3.52:1 on March 31, 1995.  A significant
portion of these current assets are accounts receivable due to the
Company's disposal and services.

Property and equipment increased during the current quarter by $139,366. 
This increase is due to the purchase of equipment to add to the efficiency
of the south Texas operations.

Stockholders' equity continued to build for GTRO to $5,749,445 on March 31,
1996.  This is up $117,600 over December 31, 1995.  Stockholders' equity on
March 31, 1995 was $4,984,471.


REVENUES

The financial statements accompanying this report are consolidated with
subsidiaries for all periods reported.

Total operating revenues were $591,490 for the first quarter of 1996.  Of
this, 91% were attributable to disposal and service fees.  The addition of
the Chihuahua disposal facility during the fourth quarter of 1995 was one
of the leading factors in increasing revenues during the first quarter of
1996.  The Chihuahua facility is a part of OCR Investments, one of the
wholly owned subsidiaries.

The increase in natural gas prices during the first quarter caused
producers in the south Texas area, serviced by the disposal facilities, to
produce record quantities of salt water as they opened their wells in order
to increase gas production to take advantage of the rise in prices.  In
turn, increased quantities of water were delivered for injection at the
Company's disposal facilities.  Revenues rose as a function of the increase
in disposal activity.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company entered into an
agreement with TransTexas Gas Corporation (a significant customer) to
purchase and operate a TransTexas disposal facility.  This significant
asset purchase bore a cost of $750,000.  This facility is expected to
generate $30,000-$40,000 per month in gross operating revenues for the
Company.  

Second quarter revenues are projected to continue to increase due to the
addition of the TransTexas disposal.  The Company also expects to complete
the construction of two fresh water supply plants during the second
quarter.

Costs of revenues were $139,953 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
compared to $105,943 for the same period in 1995.  The principal areas that
had the most increase were materials & supplies and lease costs.  These
increases are directly related to upgrading and expanding existing disposal
equipment and facilities.


OPERATING EXPENSES

The operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$289,110 compared to March 31, 1995 of $260,267.  This increase of $28,843
was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation, depletion, and
amortization related to the addition of significant depreciable assets
during the second, third, and fourth quarters of 1995.  Professional fees
increased $18,588 compared to the same quarter of 1995.  The majority of
this increase was for accounting and auditing fees.

Income from operations was $162,427 for March 31, 1996 compared to $123,665
for the same period in 1995.  The income from operations was modified by
other income and expenses to $166,103 and $114,854 for the quarters ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $131,016, representing
$0.03 per share, compared to net income of $41,609 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, representing $0.01 per share net income.
