PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Golden Triangle Industries, Inc.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Golden
Triangle Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 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,
1996, 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 16, 1997, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information
set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1996 is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

GOLDEN TRIANGLE INDUSTRIES, INC.
SELECTED INFORMATION FOR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 1997
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with 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, 1996. In the
opinion of Management, all adjustments (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 statements included in
Item 1 of Part 1. Operating results for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.
NOTE 2: REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
During May 1997, the board of directors and shareholders approved a
reverse stock split in the ratio of one for 3.5 shares held. This
reverse split was approved in an effort to improve the share price of
the outstanding shares in order to be able to move up in the markets
for the stock of the Company. The ultimate goal is to make the stock
more tradeable.
The stock amounts and paid in capital at December 31, 1996 have been
restated in order to provide comparative information. The weighted
average shares and the earnings per share have also been restated to
present the information on a consistent basis.
NOTE 3: ACQUISITION OF PRODUCING ROYALTIES
During 1997, the Company has acquired additional interests in
Australian producing concessions 299P and 267P. These interests were
purchased at approximately 36 month payout based on current production
levels. However, activity on these concessions indicates increased
development work by the operator. As illustrated in the financial
statements, revenues from oil and gas which is primarily from Australia
increased significantly over the prior year. Total costs incurred were
$69,557. Revenues have been negatively impacted in the third quarter
by the effects of the strengthening US dollar against the Australian
dollar which causes an unfavorable lowering of the exchange rate on
conversion of oil sold based on the Australian dollar into payment
based on the US dollar.
NOTE 4: OTHER RECEIVABLES
During the first quarter, the Company loaned $50,000 to Dewatering,
Inc., a startup company specializing in unique controlled fluid
disposal. This loan carried a 5% interest rate and called for
Dewatering to issue stock equal to 5% of its outstanding shares to the
Company. This note is collateralized by personal guarantees from
officers of Dewatering, Inc. During the third quarter, the Company
negotiated an arrangement with an officer of Dewatering to take the
Company's position by personally repaying all amounts advanced by the
Company plus part of the accrued interest. Management had lost
confidence in the ability of Dewatering to repay the loan.
During the second and third quarters, the Company loaned $31,500 and
$18,000 to Osage Environmental, Inc. for the purchase of two semi-
tractors and trailers. These notes are secured by the equipment. The
Company is to receive its loan back and retain an ongoing percentage of
the revenue from the equipment.
NOTE 5: UTILIZATION OF TAX LOSS CARRY-FORWARDS
During 1996, the Company essentially used up all of its tax loss carry-
forwards in offsetting and reducing its income tax liabilities.
Beginning in 1997, the Company does not have loss carry-forwards to
offset its income tax liability and will be forced to utilize a portion
of its cash flow to pay income taxes.
NOTE 6: SALE OF PROPERTY AND ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
During June 1997, the Company sold the Amando salt water disposal
facility and all related fixtures and equipment to TransTexas Gas
Corporation (TransTexas) for cash of $410,913 and a promise to make
certain improvements to the Altair property described below. This
transaction was the result of the exercise by TransTexas of an option
which it held under the original sale contract for the Company's
purchase of this facility in 1996. Under that agreement, TransTexas
had an option to repurchase the facility at any time within five years.
The sale of this facility results in the removal of assets with
original costs of $750,246.
On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased a 2881.8 acre property known as
the Altair Ranch from Parker Brothers & Co. Inc. for $1,096,100 cash.
The purchase includes all existing materials located on the land and
approximately 90% of the mineral rights. The Company intends to sell
off existing land materials and develop storage facilities for oil and
gas equipment as well as pursue the possibility of building salt water
disposal facilities, which is the main source of revenues for the
Company. This property has several possible uses which the Company
intends to explore. As mentioned above, TransTexas agreed to perform
certain work on this property in the way of improvements. The
estimated value of these services is a minimum of $269,000 which was
included in the sale price of the Amando disposal.
The purchase price was allocated to existing assets under the terms of
the contract. A summary of the allocation follows: buildings and
depreciable real estate - $127,500; fencing and equipment - $246,000;
water retention facilities - $60,000; land - $462,743; inventory of raw
materials - $200,000. The improvements TransTexas is to make includes
rebuilding office/storage facilities, drilling two disposal wells,
clearing land, providing water holding tanks and pumps, and installing
new gates.
During the third quarter, the Company acquired additional assets
related to its business based at the Altair Ranch at a total cost of
$105,115 and TransTexas completed all of its promised work except the
drilling of the disposal wells for the recognition of an additional
$99,000 in assets placed in service.
NOTE 7: DIVIDENDS PAID
In accordance with the dividend provisions of its Preferred stock, the
Company paid cash dividends of $3,476 on the Class A shares and $37,717
on its Class B shares. In addition, the Class B shareholders received
a dividend of 16,188 common shares paid out of treasury shares held by
the Company. Class A shares earn a cash dividend at the rate of $.0857
per share (after the reverse split) per year. Class B shares earn a
cash dividend of $.0571 per share (after the reverse split) plus .8571
common shares for each 2.8571 Class B shares held (after the reverse
split) per year.
NOTE 8: PROCEEDS FROM ISSUING STOCK
The Company has issued 17,176 common shares under its Dividend
Reinvestment Plan during 1997 for $178,523 after adjusting the number
of shares issued for the reverse split discussed above.
NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to September 30, 1997, TransTexas has begun drilling on the
Altair disposal wells which were part of the arrangement of selling the
Amando disposal facility. The completion of these wells will complete
that transaction. Additionally, the $100,000 cash bond which the
Company funded for Southwest Tire Processors, Inc. was released during
October 1997 and those funds are no longer restricted.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
ASSETS:
Management is pleased to report that the total assets of the Company
have continued to increase, up $580,779 during the first nine months of
this year to $7,133,476 at September 30, 1997. This represents an
approximate 9% increase in total assets in the past nine months. The
increase is primarily attributable to the major land acquisition of the
Altair Ranch near Houston, Texas for $1,096,100, as reported during the
second quarter. The categories of land, buildings and real estate, and
inventory (raw materials) increased because of this acquisition.
However, the Company also sold its Amando disposal facility which
resulted in a decrease in the asset category of production equipment
even with the addition of some production equipment assets from the
Altair.
The Amando disposal facility was sold to TransTexas Gas Corporation for
cash of $410,913 and an understanding that TransTexas would make
certain improvements to the Altair Ranch property. The estimated value
of these services was a minimum of $269,000 which was included in the
sale price of the Amando facility. Of the $269,000, services valued at
$99,000 have been completed, leaving $170,000 worth of the improvements
to be completed after September 30, 1997. This amount is included in
accounts receivable-trade. During the third quarter, TransTexas
provided agreed upon services of rebuilding two office/storage
facilities, clearing land, building new gates, and providing water
tanks and pumps on the Altair Ranch. Subsequent to the end of the
quarter, they began drilling the first of two salt water disposal
wells. The $170,000 remaining in accounts receivable is the estimated
cost of drilling the two wells. The remaining balance of accounts
receivable-trade is attributable to disposal operations, oil and gas
production, and rentals related to the Altair Ranch facilities. It is
not uncommon for receivables to be high when providing services to
energy companies. Management believes that these receivables are good
and collectible.
The Company's cash position was down slightly when comparing September
30, 1997 to December 31, 1996, but was up considerably from June 30,
1997, $252,057 vs. $70,928. The cash position was lower at the end of
the previous quarter because of the cash outlay for the purchase of the
Altair Ranch which closed on June 30, 1997. The increase during the
third quarter was due to normal operations and proceeds from the sale
of common stock through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan.
Current liabilities were reduced when comparing September 30, 1997 to
September 30, 1996, but increased when comparing to December 31, 1996
because of income taxes payable. During 1996, the Company used up its
tax loss carry-forwards that had been offsetting and reducing income
tax liabilities and will have to begin paying income taxes in 1997.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities represents the
Company's liquidity. The liquidity ratio at September 30, 1997 was
3.57:1 compared with 6.35:1 at December 31, 1996 and 2.73:1 at
September 30, 1996. It is important to note that the Company has no
bank or other debt against its assets.
Stockholders' equity continued to build for the Company to $6,602,625
on September 30, 1997. This is up $443,011 over December 31, 1996 and
$560,727 over September 30, 1996.
REVENUES:
Oil and gas production revenues increased to $351,954 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $218,794 for the same
period in 1996. This important increase is due to increased oil sales
in Australia on the Company's overriding royalty interests in ATP 267
and ATP 299. New wells were drilled on these concessions during 1996,
plus the Company acquired additional interests in the concessions
during the second quarter of 1997, both of which contributed to the
increased revenues.
Total operating revenues were down when comparing the current quarter
figures and the nine month figures to those of the previous year
because of a decline in revenues from disposal and service fees. The
reason for the decline was because the Company is in a transition
process beginning in the third quarter between the sale of the Amando
disposal facility (and the loss of those revenues) and the start up of
its new facilities on the Altair Ranch (and the revenues which will be
generated from its activities). Activities on the Altair Ranch
consisted primarily of setting up and preparing the facilities on the
Altair. Revenues are expected to begin increasing in the fourth
quarter now that a large portion of the basic set up of operations has
been completed. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, gravel
sales have increased from the property and an oil reclamation plant has
been opened. This facility is designed to purchase and accept oil
generated from salt water disposal sites, plugged well sites, and any
unwanted oil from oil producers. The oil is cleaned and blended and
then resold to refineries. This facility is the only one of its type
in the surrounding area and is expected to generate significant
revenues beginning in the first quarter of 1998. In addition, two new
salt water disposal facilities are being constructed on the Altair.
One of the disposal wells is currently being drilled and Management
expects revenues to begin from this new salt water disposal facility
during the first quarter of 1998.
COST OF REVENUES:
Cost of revenues has remained fairly constant when comparing the
current quarter to the previous quarter, as well as to the third
quarter of 1996. The item that did increase was the Australian
marketing costs. This cost is directly related to the increase in oil
production from the Australian producing properties. Costs of direct
materials and supplies continued to decrease from previous quarters.
The decline in materials and supplies expense is related to the
revamping and upgrading of certain equipment and facilities in previous
quarters.
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Operating expenses were reduced when comparing the third quarter of
1997 ($263,039) to the previous quarter ($381,291). The reduction was
primarily in the advertising and public relations category. There were
no material differences in total operating expenses when comparing the
third quarter of 1997 to the third quarter of 1996.
Income from operations declined when comparing both the current quarter
and the nine month periods primarily because of the reduction in
revenues discussed previously.
NET INCOME:
Net income for the current quarter is $33,666 compared to $215,612 for
the previous quarter and $187,655 for the third quarter of 1996. This
decrease in net income for the current quarter is due primarily to the
transition of operations which occurred after the sale of the Amando
disposal facility and before revenues get rolling from the new
facilities purchased (see Revenues above). When comparing the net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 ($401,957) to the
same period in 1996 ($442,773), the difference is not as great as on
the three month numbers.
The first nine months of 1997 reported per share earnings of $.74
compared to $.52 in 1996. See Note 2 of the financial statements
regarding the effect of the 1-for-3.5 reverse stock split on the
Company's financial statements and earnings per share.
SUMMARY:
The Company has continued to show an increase in assets every quarter.
The purchase of the Altair Ranch increased the Company's asset base
significantly this year. Management believes that the sale of the
Amando disposal facility and the purchase of the Altair Ranch were
important steps toward the Company's future even though they resulted
in lower revenues during the third quarter while preparations are being
made at the Altair Ranch. The lower revenues were expected for the
third quarter and revenues may be lower during the fourth quarter while
the Company is continuing the process of setting up and opening the new
facilities being developed on the Altair Ranch.
The primary benefits of the Altair Ranch include: approximately 90% of
the underlying mineral rights, full water rights, active oil and gas
pipelines, active irrigation wells, a stockpile of 23 million cubic
yards of sand and gravel ready for sale, and other existing materials.
The Company plans to reevaluate numerous plugged wells on the Altair
Ranch for reentry and production potential under current market
conditions. It also plans to explore the potential of new drilling
sites on the property since currently producing oil and gas wells exist
within 500 feet of the property lines.
With some of the new facilities expected to be in operation during the
fourth quarter of 1997 (such as the oil reclamation plant, one of the
salt water disposal wells, gravel and fresh water sales, and rental of
other facilities), Management expects revenues to increase
significantly from this location during the first quarter of 1998.
With all of the possibilities on this property, Management expects that
the potential revenues could be tremendous as these possibilities are
developed in the future.
