for the year ending December 31, 1998.


NOTE 2:   SALE OF PROPERTY AND ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY

During June 1997, the Company sold its Amando salt water disposal facility and
all related fixtures and equipment and purchased a 2881.8 acre property near
Houston, Texas.  The Company has continued to purchase additional equipment
related to the business being carried on from the ranch.  

These transactions have changed the mix of available revenue sources when
comparing the first quarters of the two years.  The Amando facility
contributed a significant amount of salt water disposal revenues during 1997.
During 1998, the other South Texas disposal facilities and a new facility near
the Altair Ranch have not realized revenues sufficient to overcome the
decrease from the sale of the Amando facility.  However, operations from the
Altair ranch have generated rental income, income from the sale of reclaimed
skim oil, and other revenues which have exceeded the Amando revenues of 1997.


NOTE 3:   PROCEEDS FROM ISSUING STOCK

The Company has issued 2,065 common shares under its Dividend Reinvestment
Plan during 1998 for proceeds of $26,740.


NOTE 4:   GAIN ON SALES OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company was a beneficiary of efforts to
revive a publicly traded entity which the Company had invested in during the
early 1980s.  The investment had been written off in the late 1980s as being
worthless.  This entity has been revived by third parties and the Company was
able to sell its holdings for $36,721.


NOTE 5:   WARRANTS ISSUED

During March 1998, the Company registered 200,000 warrants (and underlying
common shares) for issuance to existing stockholders.  This effort was
designed to offer existing stockholders the opportunity to increase their
holdings in the Company based on one warrant for each four shares held.  There
is no market for these warrants. The warrants can be exchanged for registered
common shares on a one for one basis.  The exercise price of the warrants is
$11.8125.  At this time the Company is unable to determine the final number of
common shares to be issued or the total proceeds resulting of this offering.

the warrants were exercised, the shares outstanding would be increased by
200,000 shares.


NOTE 7:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company has contributed approximately
$100,000 to a project to take an oil and gas lease on an area which is
believed to be a significant drilling prospect.  For its investment, the
Company owns approximately 15% of the project.  It is anticipated that the
prospect will be sold or farmed out to third parties for drilling and
development.  However, the project owners have the option to elect to drill on
the prospect themselves.  Should the project owners elect to drill on the
prospect, the Company will be required to reduce its ownership, pay its share
of drilling costs, or sell its interest.

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

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company has begun to realize significant
revenues from the potential that was seen when the Altair Ranch was acquired
in 1997.  New business activity developed as a direct result of having
established a presence in the area includes rental of ranch facilities and
heavy equipment, establishment of an oil reclamation facility, and the
development of a new salt water disposal facility near El Campo, Texas.  The
Company has also seen some rebound in its revenues from existing South Texas
disposal facilities over the fourth quarter of 1997.  

With activities begun during the last half of 19971having been fairly well
established and contributing to revenues, management expects the Company to
see further improvements in revenues and net income as the year progresses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management is pleased to report an increase of $316,200 in total assets of the
Company during the first quarter to $7,113,052 on March 31, 1998, from
$6,796,862 on December 31, 1997.  The increase is shown in a rise in cash
balances and accounts receivable augmented by the addition of equipment.
Equipment additions consisted primarily of the purchase of two trucks and the
further development of the skim oil facilities and the new disposal facility
at El Campo.  These asset additions are further developments of the business
opportunities arising out of the purchase of the Altair Ranch during 1997.  

Current assets were up when comparing March 31, 1998 to both December 31, 1997
and March 31, 1997.  Current assets increased during the first quarter because
of increased cash generated by the new Altair Ranch operations. Accounts
receivable has increased primarily due to the increased activities.  (The
Company does a high percent age of this business with TransTexas Gas
Corporation as discussed below.)   Current liabilities were reduced when
comparing the current balances to the balances at the end of the same quarter
in 1997, but were up when compared to balances at December 31, 1997.  The
increase during the current quarter is due primarily to an increase in accrued
income taxes.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities represents
the Company's liquidity.  The liquidity ratio at March 31, 1998 was 5.83:1
compared to 7.34:1 at December 31, 1997 and 4.02:1 at March 31, 1997.  It is
important to note that the Company has no long-term bank debt and that its
property and equipment are free from liens.  

The Company's oil field services and rental revenues are derived largely from
TransTexas Gas Corporation. (Business with TransTexas represented 45% of the
Company's total revenues during the first quarter of 1998.) The Company has
not experienced any significant problems ultimately collecting its receivables
from TransTexas and believes that these obligations will continue to be paid
as they have in the past.  It is expected that the volume of activity and
receivables from TransTexas will continue to be significant.  Should
TransTexas become unable to pay its bills, the Company's related assets and
earnings would be adversely impacted.  Subject to this consider ation, the
Company is not aware of any trends or demands that would be likely to reduce
its ability to continue its relationship with TransTexas.  Management believes
that the Company would be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations should such adversity occur.

During March 1998, the Company issued warrants to existing stockholders to
allow them to expand their holdings through the purchase of additional shares
of the Company's unissued common stock.  No estimate can be made as to the
amount of funds that this offering might bring to the Company.  It is
anticipated that most of the funds raised through this offering will be
utilized in further development of resources and opportunities available  from
the Altair Ranch.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A large portion of the basic start-up operations were completed on the Altair
Ranch during the last half of 1997 with a favorable impact on revenues
reflected in the first quarter of 1998.  Management reports total operating
revenues of $995,271 for the first quarter of 1998, which is a significant
increase of $232,358 over the first quarter of 1997.  This considerable
increase is primarily attributable to the Company's new leasing and oil
reclamation oil operations at the Altair Ranch.  The Company received income
from the trucking and equipment services consisting of equipment moving,
vacuum truck services, oil transportation, and pad construction.  In addition,
portions of the ranch were leased out as "lay-down yards" where drilling
companies and operators could store their equipment.  

Costs of revenues increased when comparing the first quarter of 1998 to the
first quarter of 1997 primarily because of the skim oil purchases at the
Company's skim oil reclamation plant.  Salt water for disposal contains
residual amounts of oil which can be skimmed and sold to refineries.  In
addition to skimming the oil from the salt water brought to the Company's own
salt water disposal facilities, the Company has been purchasing oil generated
from operators of other salt water disposal facilities.  Gross margin from oil
reclamation is approximately $4 per barrel, excluding transportation costs.

With the increased revenues discussed above, the Company's gross profit was
$574,826 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $493,916 for the
same period in 1997.

Total operating expenses increased when comparing the first quarter of 1998 to
the first quarter of 1997. Expenses rose in most categories, but the largest
increases were in the categories of personnel costs and professional fees.
Personnel costs increased as additional employees were hired for the expanding
activities at the Altair Ranch.  Because of the higher operating expenses,
income from operations was lower for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 than in
the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

The Company's net income and earnings per share for the current quarter were
$188,517 and $0.32, an increase of $35,838 and $0.05 over the same period in
1997 ($152,679 and $0.27).  This improvement is primarily attributable to
increased revenues as a result of the development of new activities from the
Altair Ranch.
 
Cash flows from operations increased during the first quarter of 1998 over the
first quarter of 1997 largely due to increased revenues and increased accounts
payable. The Company used its cash flows from operations and DRP proceeds to
acquire additional equipment for the operations based out of the Altair Ranch.


DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Where this Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking" statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act, the Company desires to take advantage of
the "safe harbor" provisions thereof.  Therefore, the Company is including
this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protections
of such safe harbor provisions with respect to all of such forward-looking
statements.  The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those
anticipated.  In this Form 10-Q, the words "anticipates," "believes,
"expects," "intends," "future" and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
that may arise after the date hereof.  All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on
its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.

YEAR 2000

The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue.  The
"Year 2000" problem is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations.  The Company believes that all of its software and equipment
are "Year 2000" compliant and that this problem will have no affect on the
Company's internal operations.  Should companies with which the Company does
business suffer significant problems within their systems, an adverse impact
could be incurred by the Company.  However, the Company has no way of
anticipating or controlling such failure on the part of its customers.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehen sive Income" which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated
balances. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements.

Also, in June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS 131 establishes standards for
the way that public companies report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information
about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.
It also establishes standards for disclosure regarding products and services,
geographic areas and major customers.

Both SFAS 130 and 131 are effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997 and require comparative information for
earlier years to be restated.  Because of the recent issuance of these
standards, management has been unable to fully evaluate the impact, if any,
they may have on future financial statement disclosures.  Results of
operations and financial position, however, will be unaffected by
implementation of these standards.
