NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------

General
- -------
The financial statements, management's discussion and these notes
to financial statements are condensed and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report to shareholders and Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995.

The financial information contained herein is unaudited but, in
the opinion of the management of Caplan Corporation, includes all
adjustments necessary to a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the periods indicated.  The results for the three
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q
and therefore do not include all information necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position and results of operations in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Organization
- ------------
Caplan Corporation (the Company) was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware on July 5, 1983 for the purpose of
participating in oil and gas activities in the United States.  In
June, 1987, the stockholders approved a three-to-one reverse
split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock and warrants.  As a result of the reverse stock
split, the number of issued and outstanding shares decreased to
1,300,786 while the par value of each share remained $.001.

Presentation
- ------------
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
a 20% limited partnership interest in Fairmont Natural Gas
Pipeline, Ltd. accounted for using the cost method for the year
ended June 30, 1994.  The 20% limited partnership interest in
Fairmont Natural Gas Pipeline, ltd. was sold during the year
ended June 30, 1995.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------
The Company follows the "successful-efforts" method of accounting
for its oil and gas properties.  Under this method of accounting,
all property acquisitions costs and costs to drill and equip
exploratory wells are capitalized when incurred, pending
determination of whether the well has resulted in the discovery
of proved reserves.  The costs of drilling and equipping any
exploratory wells which do not find proved reserves, net of any
salvage value, are charged to expense.  The costs of development
wells are capitalized, whether the well is productive or
nonproductive.  The acquisition costs of unproved properties are
assessed at least annually for impairment of value, and if such
impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized by providing a
valuation allowance.  Geological and geophysical costs and the
costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties (including
delay rentals) are expensed as incurred.

Depletion and depreciation are computed separately on each
individual property.  Proved leasehold costs are deleted on the
unit-of-production method over the estimated total proved
reserves of the individual properties.  Completed well costs are
depreciated on the unit-of-production method over the estimated
proved developed reserves of the individual properties.
Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and automobiles if provided
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, and
renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When a property is
retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and
accumulated depletion and depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any gain or loss realized on the disposition is
recognized.

Cash Equivalents
- ----------------
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash equivalents
include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Other
- ----------------------------------------
Income (Loss) per share has been computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding at the end of each month in
the period.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in
the computation as their effect would decrease the loss per
share.

Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to
conform with current classifications.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity position increased from June 30, 1995 to
September 30, 1995 resulting primarily from a decrease in
accounts payable and an increase in cash during the first
quarter.

The reserves the Company has discovered or acquired provide a
base upon which the Company could borrow funds should the need
arise.  However, current economic condition in the oil and gas
industry have caused financial institutions to severely restrict
borrowing of this nature and as such could limit the amount of
outside financing the Company could obtain in this fashion.  The
Company's current cash flow is sufficient to continue existing
operations and allow for marginal investment in additional oil
and gas wells.  Major acquisitions of any nature will require
private funding through stock placement or financing.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenue from oil and gas sales for the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 increased 30% as compared with the same period
ended in the prior year.  This is the result of a 38% increase in
the net equivalent barrels of production sold which is offset by
a 5% decrease in the net equivalent price per barrel.

Interest income decreased 27% during the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 as compared with the same period ended in the
prior year.  This decrease is the result of interest earned from
the note receivable acquired during the prior year declining as
the note is collected.

Production expense for the current quarter increased 9% as
compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  The
increase is attributed primarily to increased operating costs
incurred.

General and administrative expenses decreased 75% during the
three month period ended September 30, 1995 as compared with the
same period in the prior year.  In general there were decreases
in legal, audit and printing costs regarding general and
administrative expenses.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization and valuation expense
(DD&A) decreased 64% during the three month period ended
September 30, 1995 in relation to the same period last year.

The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to a
fair statement of the results of the interim period.
