                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          September 30, 1996 and 1995

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of September 30, 1996, the results of its operations
for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and
the cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  All
adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 has been prepared based upon
the Registrant's audited balance sheet as of that date.

NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

In June 1996, the Registrant purchased an additional 2.5% (net 1.875%) working
interest comprising approximately 520 acres, including eleven (11) wells located
on producing and non-producing oil and gas leases in the Lazy JL Field, Garza
County, Texas.

In July 1996, the Registrant purchased a 30% (net 22.5%) working interest in
approximately 1,000 acres of non-producing oil and gas leases adjacent to the
Lazy JL Field, Garza County, Texas.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                   OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations - 3 Months Ended September 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Operating revenues increased $157,807 (90%) from the second quarter of fiscal
1995 due to increased oil and gas prices and production.  Revenues from gas
increased $58,549 (91%) due to increased numbers of wells, acquisitions of
properties and higher gas prices.  Oil revenues increased $99,258 (89%) due to
increased numbers of wells, acquisitions of properties and higher oil prices.
The average oil price for the second quarter of 1996 was $21.32 per barrel
compared to $15.82 per barrel in the second quarter of 1995.  The average gas
price for second quarter of 1996 was $2.17 per MCF compared to $1.38 per MCF in
the second quarter of 1995.

Production costs were unchanged.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $25,012 (38%) as compared to
the same quarter during the prior year due to additional costs of oil and gas
properties and increased production.

General and administrative costs were unchanged.

Interest income decreased $2,746 (61%) due to decreased funds invested in 
money market accounts.

During the quarter, the Company participated in the drilling of one (1) well
(6.98% working interest, a 5.24% net revenue interest) in the Viejos (Devonian)
Field of Pecos County, Texas, such well having been successfully completed after
September 30, 1996.

Results of Operations - 6 Months Ended September 30, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Operating revenues increased $253,097 (73%) from the first six months of fiscal
1995 due to increased oil and gas prices and production.  Revenues from gas
increased $109,287 (97%) due to increased numbers of wells, acquisitions of
properties and higher gas prices.  Oil revenues increased $143,810 (61%) due to
increased numbers of wells, acquisitions of properties and higher oil prices.
The average oil price for the first six months of 1996 was $21.09 per barrel
compared to $17.02 per barrel in the first six months of 1995.  The average gas
price for the first six months of 1996 was $2.15 per MCF compared to $1.31 per
MCF in the first six months of 1995.

Production costs increased $19,388 (15%) due to increased lease operating
expenses primarily as a result of addition of oil and gas properties.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $44,723 (38%) as compared to
the same period during the prior year due to additional costs of oil and gas
properties and increased production.

General and administrative costs increased $9,631 (21%) due to increased
accounting and engineering costs.

Interest income decreased $3,042 (44%) due to decreased funds invested in 
money market accounts.

During the six months, the Company participated in the drilling of two (2)
wells, one (37.5% working interest, a 28.125% net revenue interest) in the Lazy
JL (Lower Spraberry) Field of Garza County, Texas, and the other as described

Financial Condition
- -------------------

Working Capital increased by $66,206 as compared to March 31, 1996, primarily
due to increase in cash and cash equivalents reflecting increased revenues due
to acquisitions and drilling activity.

In August 1996, the Registrant entered into a loan agreement providing a
revolving line of credit of $500,000 collateralized by a deed of trust, covering
substantially all of the Registrant's properties.  Such loan would be payable in
installments of $15,000 per month plus interest, and in full on April 15, 1997.
The proceeds of such loan would be used to acquire and develop producing oil and
gas properties.  There has been no borrowing under this line as of September 30,
1996.

Management cannot specifically identify the effects of inflation and other price
changes on operations.
