                          September 30, 1995

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for 
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six month  
period ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 1996 due to seasonal factors 
affecting gas utility, construction and other operations.  For further 
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
thereto included in the Energy West Incorporated (the Company) annual report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995. 

Note 2 - Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of 
common shares issued and outstanding and common stock equivalents, if dilutive.

Note 3 - Principle Accounting Policies

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment 
of Long--Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, "
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 1995.  SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain 
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for 
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and long-lived assets and 
certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of 
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  SFAS No. 121 also established 
the procedures for review of recoverability, and measurement of impairment if 
necessary, of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held 
and used by an entity. The financial effect of adopting the new standard are 
not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or operations.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the quarterly  and six month 
period for fiscal 1995 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 
year-end fiscal 1995 presentation. 






Note 4 - Income Taxes

Under the liability method prescribed by SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes 
reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes 
and amounts used for income tax purposes.  At December 31, 1995, components of 
the Company's deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:
   Allowance for doubtful accounts.................................$44,796

State income taxes (benefit), net of federal income taxes............. 10,951 
Amortization of deferred investment tax credits...................... (10,531)
Other................................................................. (1,384)
Total income taxes (benefits)........................................ $87,502 
                                                                      
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company has entered into long-term, take or pay natural gas supply 
contracts which expire beginning in 1996 and ending in 2005.  The contracts 
generally require the Company to purchase specified minimum volumes of natural  
gas at a fixed price which is subject to renegotiating every two years.  
Current prices per Mcf for  these contracts range from $1.28 to $1.90.  Based 
on current  prices, the minimum take or pay obligation at December 31, 1995 for 
each of the next five years and in total is as follows:
    
Fiscal Year
   1996                                                      2,630,414
   1997                                                      1,659,614
   1998                                                      1,460,894
   1999                                                      1,460,894
   2000                                                      1,460,894
Thereafter                                                   5,188,606
   Total                                                   $13,861,316
                
Natural gas purchases under these contracts for the years ended June 30, 1995, 
1994 and 1993 approximated $6,203,000, $6,901,000, and $7,400,000, respectively.

Potential Acquisition - Nullified

The Company had signed a definitive purchase agreement for the acquisition of 
a propane vapor system, contingent on the Company obtaining regulatory 
approval for an exclusive natural gas franchise, in Jackson, Wyoming, where 
this system is located. The purchase price was approximately $920,000. In 
December, 1995, the Wyoming Public Service Commission granted a natural gas 
franchise to a competing utility, which now serves electricity in the Jackson 
Hole area, thus nullifying the purchase agreement.


Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Environmental Contingency

The  Company  owns property on which it operated a manufactured gas plant from 
1909 to 1928.  The site is currently used as a service center and to store 
certain equipment and materials and supplies. The coal gasification process 
utilized in the plant resulted in the production of certain by-products which 
have been classified by the federal government and the state of Montana as 
hazardous to their environment.  After management became aware of the potential 
of contamination on this site, it initiated an assessment of the property 
through the assistance of a qualified consulting firm.  That assessment 
revealed the presence of certain hazardous material in quantities exceeding 
tolerances established for such material by regulatory authorities.  After 
making required notifications of that condition to federal and state regulatory 
authorities, a report summarizing the assessment was filed with the State of 
Montana Department of Health and Environmental Science (MDHES).  Subsequent to 
that submittal, the Company and its consultant have worked with the MDHES to 
arrive at a remediation option acceptable to the Company and MDHES.  The costs 
incurred by the Company to date approximate $307,600 and have been capitalized
as other deferred charges.  Until further work is done regarding remediation 
alternative, no further estimate of the costs of remediation can be made. 

The Company received formal approval from the Montana Public Service Commission 
to recover certain costs associated with the cleanup of this site. The Company 
has begun recovery of costs of $182,736 incurred at June 30, 1995 through a 
surcharge in billing rates effective July 1, 1995.  Management intends to 
request, that future costs be recovered in that same manner.  Assuming the 
commission continues to approve such cost recovery, the Company does not 
anticipate a material affect on the Company's financial position as a result 
of the remediation over a similar time period.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Interim Financial Statements

The following discussion reflects results of operations of the Company and its  
consolidated subsidiaries for the periods indicated.  The Company's utility 
operations are conducted through its Great  Falls division, which includes 
Great Falls Gas Company, Cascade Gas Company and West Yellowstone Gas Company 
in Montana, its Cody division in Cody, Wyoming and the Broken Bow division in 
Payson, Arizona.  The Company installed an underground natural gas system in 
the town of West Yellowstone, Montana, which became operational in the Spring
of 1995.

The  Company conducts certain non-utility operations through its  three 
wholly-owned  subsidiaries:  Rocky Mountain Fuels, Inc. (RMF), a distributor 
of bulk propane in northwestern Wyoming, Cascade, Montana and the Payson, 
Arizona areas; Vesta, Inc. (Vesta), which is engaged in oil and gas development 
and gas marketing in Montana and Wyoming, and Montana Sun, Inc., which owns 
one commercial property and one parcel of undeveloped land in Great Falls, 
Montana.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's operating capital needs, as well as dividend payments and capital
expenditures, are generally funded through cash flow from operating activities,
short-term borrowings and liquidation of temporary cash investments.  
Historically, to the extent cash flow has not been sufficient to fund capital 
expenditures, the Company has made long-term borrowings or issued equity 
securities to fund capital expansion projects or reduce short-term borrowings.  

The Company's short-term borrowing requirements vary according to the seasonal  
nature of its sales and expense activity.  The Company has greater need for 
short-term borrowings during periods when internally generated funds are not 
sufficient to cover all capital and operating requirements, including costs of 
gas purchases, financing of customer accounts receivable and capital 
expenditures.  In general, the Company's short-term borrowing needs for 
purchases of gas inventory and capital expenditures are greatest during the
summer months, and the Company's short-term borrowing needs for financing of 
customer accounts receivable are greatest during the winter months.  This past 
fiscal year and during this first six months of Fiscal 1996, the Company used 
short-term borrowing for construction of the natural gas system in West 
Yellowstone, Montana and expansion of its natural gas systems in Great Falls,  
Montana, Cody, Wyoming and Payson, Arizona.  Short-term borrowings utilized 
for construction or property acquisitions generally are replaced by permanent 
financing when it becomes economical and practical to do so.  At December 31,  
1995, the Company had a $10,000,000 bank line of credit, of which $9,355,000 
had been borrowed.  The Company increased its bank line of credit to 
$10,000,000 on October 31, 1995.  




The Company used net cash in operating activities for the six months ended 
December 31, 1995 in the amount of approximately $4,199,000, as compared to 
$1,021,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994 and was primarily due to 
timing differences related to lower rates to customers for gas purchases, while 
gas purchases costs were equal or higher than last year, timing related prepaid 
gas contracts at a Rocky Mountain Fuel division, pension plan deposits now made 
annually instead of quarterly last year and higher payment to the Company's
incentive plan this fiscal year. Cash used in investing activities was 
approximately $2,160,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995, as 
compared to $2,078,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994.  Cash 
provided approximately $6,235,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995, 
as compared to approximately $3,111,700 for the six months ended December 31, 
1994. The increase in cash provided by financing activities resulted from an 
increase in short-term borrowings of approximately $1,855,000 and a reduction 
in the repayment of short-term debt of approximately $1,365,000. 

Capital  expenditures  of the Company are primarily for  expansion  and 
improvement of its gas utility properties.  To a lesser extent, funds are also  
expended to meet the equipment needs of the Company's operating subsidiaries 
and to meet the Company's administrative needs.  The Company's capital 
expenditures, excluding RMF's expenditures for the acquisition of propane 
operations, were approximately $4.5 million in fiscal 1995 and approximately 
$2.5 to $2.3 million for the previous two fiscal years. The Company expects to 
incur approximately $5.5 million for capital expenditures in fiscal 1996.  
As of December 31, 1995, approximately $2.2 million of that amount had been 
expended.


Results of Consolidated Operations

Comparison of Second Quarter of Fiscal 1996 Ended December 31, 1995 and Fiscal 
1995 Ended December 31, 1994

The  Company's net income for the second quarter ended December 31, 1995 was 
$651,846 compared to  $801,698 for the quarter ended December 31, 1994. 

The decrease in the 1996 net income was primarily due to an increase in 
distribution, general, administrative and maintenance expenses and an increase 
in depreciation and short-term interest costs, due to capital additions.

Utility Operations -
  
Utility operating revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $7,060,020 
compared to $8,363,454 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Gross Margin, 
which is defined as operating revenues less gas purchased, was $2,988,225 for 
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to gross margin of $2,957,613 for 
the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Gross margins increased 1% because of 
higher margin from natural gas transportation sales in the Great Falls 
division.  

Overall revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was lower than revenues 
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, due to the warmer than normal 
temperatures experienced in Wyoming and Arizona and a rate decrease in the 
Great Falls division, effective July 1, 1995, ordered by the Montana Public 
Service Commission.

Operating Expenses - 

Utility operating expenses, exclusive of the cost of gas purchased and federal  
and state income taxes, were approximately $1,450,000 for the second quarter 
of fiscal 1996 as compared to $1,346,000 for the same period in fiscal 1995.  
The 8% increase in the period is generally due to normal inflationary trends 
and a higher payout for the regulated operation's incentive plans for 
employees.

Other Income -

Other Income in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was approximately $94,000 
as compared to $41,000 for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The 129% increase 
was generally due to new appliance and service sales in the West Yellowstone 
District, increased appliance and service sales in Cody, Wyoming and certain 
reclassifications.

Interest Charges - 

Interest charges allocable to the Company's utility divisions were 
approximately $314,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996, as compared to 
$268,000 in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  Long term debt interest
decreased slightly, however, short term interest increased primarily due to 
facility expansion, which has been temporarily financed with short term debt. 

Income Taxes - 

The state and federal income taxes of the Company's utility divisions were 
approximately $330,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1996, as compared to 
approximately $372,000 for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The decrease in 
income taxes was due to lower pre-tax income of the utility divisions.


Non-Regulated Operations -

Rocky Mountain Fuels -

For the three months ended December 31, 1995, RMF generated net income of 
approximately $41,000 compared to net income of approximately $87,000 for the 
three months ended December 31, 1994.  Approximately $4,000 of RMF's reduction 
in net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was attributable to the 
Petrogas division in Arizona, while approximately $39,000 was attributable to 
the Wyo L-P Gas division in Wyoming.  Missouri River Propane and Big Horn 
Answering Service account for the balance, which had a loss for the quarter.
Missouri River Propane in Montana is a new bulk propane operation in the
Cascade, MT area, and Big Horn Answering Service is located in Cody, WY.
RMF's gross margins decreased for the three months ended December 31, 1995
compared to the same period last year, due primarily to competition in the areas
served by the Wyo L-P gas division in the  Wyoming area, requiring a freeze in
retail propane prices, even though costs of propane increased. In addition,
higher operating expenses, due to normal inflationary trends and warmer than
normal weather in the Company's Wyoming and Arizona service areas decreased
net income.

Vesta - 

For the three months ended December 31, 1995, Vesta's net income was 
approximately $83,000 compared to $51,000 for the three months ended December 
31, 1994, primarily due to higher margins experienced by Transenergy, Vesta's 
gas marketing subsidiary.

Montana Sun, Inc. -

For the three months ended December 31, 1995, Montana Sun, Inc.'s net income 
was approximately $21,000 compared to $17,000 for the three months ended 
December 31, 1994, primarily due to higher interest income on working capital 
invested on a short-term basis.  

Results of Consolidated Operations

Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 1995 and Fiscal 1995 Ended 
December 31, 1994

The  Company's net income for the first six months ended December 31, 1995 was 
$184,709 compared to  $415,580 for the six months ended December 31, 1994. 

The decrease in the Fiscal 1996 net income was primarily due to an increase in 
distribution, general, administrative and maintenance expenses and an increase 
in depreciation and short-term interest costs, due to capital additions.

Utility Operations -
  
Utility operating revenues in the first six months of fiscal 1996 were 
$9,717,764 compared to $11,016,070 for the first six months of fiscal 1995.  
Gross Margin, which is defined as operating revenues less gas purchased, was
approximately $4,400,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to 
gross margin of approximately $4,193,000 for the first six months of fiscal 
1995.  Gross margins increased 5% because of higher margin natural gas 
transportation sales in the Great Falls and Cody divisions.  

Overall revenues in the first six months of fiscal 1996 was lower than revenues 
in the first six months of fiscal 1995, due to the warmer than normal 
termperatures experienced in the Company's divisions in Wyoming and Arizona 
and a rate decrease in the Great Falls division in Montana, effective July 1, 
1995.

Operating Expenses - 

Utility operating expenses, exclusive of the cost of gas purchased and federal  
and state income taxes, were approximately $2,982,000 for the first six months 
of fiscal 1996 as compared to $2,710,000 for the same period in fiscal 1995.  
The 10% increase in the period is generally due to normal inflationary trends, 
less payroll capitalized since the completion of the West Yellowstone system 
and a higher payout for the regulated operation's incentive plans for 
employees.

Other Income -

Other Income in the first six months of fiscal 1996 was approximately $160,000 
as compared to $97,000 for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The 65% increase 
was generally due to new applicance and service sales in the West Yellowstone 
District, increased appliance and service sales in Cody, Wyoming and certain 
reclassifications.

Interest Charges - 

Interest charges allocable to the Company's utility divisions were 
approximately $539,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996, as compared to
$498,000 in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  Long term debt interest
decreased slightly, however, short term interest increased primarily due to 
facility expansion, which has been temporarily financed with short term debt.

Income Taxes - 
The state and federal income taxes of the Company's utility divisions were 
approximately $14,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996, as compared to 
approximately $74,000 for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The decrease in 
income taxes was due to lower pre-tax income of the utility divisions.

 

Non-Regulated Operations -

Rocky Mountain Fuels -

For the six months ended December 31, 1995, RMF generated a net loss of 
approximately ($25,000) compared to net income of approximately $73,000 for the 
first six months ended December 31, 1994.  Approximately $60,000 of RMF's 
reduction in net income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was 
attributable to the Wyo LP Gas division in Wyoming, while approximately 
$25,000 was attributable to the Petrogas division in Arizona.  Missouri River
Propane and Big Horn Answering Service account for the balance, which had a 
loss for the six month period.  Missouri River Propane in Montana is a new 
bulk propane operation in the Cascade, MT area, and Big Horn Answering Service 
is located in Cody, WY.  RMF's gross margins decreased approximately 6% for the 
six months ended December 31, 1995 compared to the same period last year, due 
primarily to competition in the areas served by the Wyo L-P gas division in the
Wyoming area, requiring a freeze in retail propane prices, even though costs
of propane increased.  In addition, higher operating expenses, due to normal 
inflationary trends and warmer than normal weather in the Company's Wyoming and 
Arizona service areas decreased net income.

Vesta - 

For the six months ended December 31, 1995, Vesta's net income was 
approximately $113,000 compared to $92,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1994, primarily due to higher margins experienced by Transenergy, Vesta's
gas marketing subsidiary, as a result of increased sales.

Montana Sun, Inc. -

For the six months ended December 31, 1995, Montana Sun, Inc.'s net income was 
approximately $31,000 compared to $27,000 for the six months ended December 31, 
1994, primarily due to higher interest income on working capital invested on 
a short-term basis.
