                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, "Interim Financial
Statements", and accordingly do not include all information and footnotes
required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  The financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with the accounting principles and practices as disclosed in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. In
the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1995,
the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995, and
the Company's cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Results
of operations for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2 - LONG-TERM DEBT

On May 12, 1995, the Company received a commitment letter for a new Senior
Loan facility.  Under the new facility, the Company will have a $20 million
commitment for bank borrowings.  The Company will replace the term portion of
its existing Senior Loan with a portion of the commitment.  The remaining
balance is available for new projects or acquisitions subject to certain
lender approval.  This facility will have no amortization through December
31, 1996. Payment will then begin based on a five year straight-line
amortization with a balloon payment due 49 months after closing.  The
Company's intention is to renew this facility every 12 months as supported by
its borrowing base, as defined. The Company can pay down and borrow under
this facility without penalty, as necessary.

The new Senior Loan facility also increases the amount available under the
Company's revolving credit facility. The revolving facility now allows for
working capital loans and standby letters of credit up to an aggregate of $10
million subject to a borrowing base, as defined. The revolving facility has
an initial two year term.

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

                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On May 12, 1995, the Company received a commitment letter for a new Senior
Loan facility. Under the new facility, the Company will have a $20 million
commitment for bank borrowings.  The Company will replace the term portion of
its existing Senior Loan with a portion of the commitment. The remaining
balance is available for new projects or acquisitions subject to certain
lender approval.  This facility will have no amortization through December
31, 1996. Payment will then begin based on a five year straight-line
amortization with a balloon payment due 49 months after closing.  The
Company's intention is to renew this facility every 12 months as supported by
its borrowing base, as defined. The Company can pay down and borrow under
this facility without penalty, as necessary.

The new Senior Loan facility also increases the amount available under the
Company's revolving credit facility. The revolving facility now allows for
working capital loans and standby letters of credit up to an aggregate of
$10 million subject to a borrowing base, as defined.  The revolving
facility has an initial two year term.

Working capital provided by operations in the first quarter of 1995 was
$511,000 compared to $765,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The
decrease was the result of reduced earnings, primarily caused by the closing
of the refinery.  This was partially offset by the increase at the Company's
North Louisiana cryogenic natural gas processing facilities.  The Company had
a working capital deficit of $3.4 million at March 31, 1995.  The Company
intends to issue equity securities, additional long-term debt or sell an
interest in certain assets in order to reduce the working capital deficit.
The Company expects that cash provided from operations combined with amounts
available under its revolving credit facility will be more than sufficient to
meet its cash requirements in 1995.

The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $5.1 million in the
first quarter of 1995. These expenditures were primarily on two projects.
The first was the Company's acquisition of the Willow Springs and North
Lansing natural gas gathering systems (collectively referred to as "Willow
Springs") from Bayou South Gas Gathering Company, L.C.  The second project
was the expansion of the Company's Calhoun plant and gathering system.  This
has allowed the Company to increase the volume of natural gas which can be
gathered and processed at its Calhoun facility.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4.2 million in the
first quarter of 1995.  The Company borrowed an additional $4.0 million as
part of the Willow Springs acquisition.  The Company also borrowed $700,000
under its revolving credit facility and repaid $528,000 on its long-term debt
obligations.

At March 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $3.8 million under the revolving
credit portion of the Senior Loan and the financial institution had issued,
for the Company's benefit, $3.4 million in standby letters of credit for
natural gas purchases.

                    TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

GENERAL. The Company's earnings before interest, income taxes and
depreciation ("EBITD") were $930,000 in the first quarter of 1995 compared
to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The Company recorded a net
loss of $245,000 ($0.02 per share) in the first quarter of 1995 compared to
net earnings of $84,000 ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 1994. The
first quarter of 1994 included results from the Company's discontinued
refining operations.  Without the refining operations the Company would have
had a net loss of $880,000 in the first quarter of 1994.

NATURAL GAS PROCESSING OPERATIONS. The following table provides pertinent
information relating to the Company's natural gas processing operations
excluding refining operations.

   Natural gas inlet volumes         82         86            (4)

</TABLE>


The Company's natural gas processing operations excluding refining had
increased EBITD of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1995. This is
primarily the result of increased natural gas liquid recoveries, lower fuel
costs and decreased operating expenses from the Company's North Louisiana
cryogenic natural gas processing facilities that became operational in the
second quarter of 1994. This was achieved even though several producers had
their natural gas shut-in due to lower prices. The Company also had a major
portion of its Dubach gathering system shut-in for nine days in February 1995
while it was expanding its Calhoun natural gas processing plant and gathering
lines. These factors were the main reason for the first quarter loss.
However, the Calhoun expenditures have increased the natural gas volume which
is being processed at the Company's North Louisiana facilities by
approximately 20 million cubic feet per day ("MMCFD").  The Company expects
increased earnings beginning in the second quarter of 1995 as a result of the
increased natural gas volumes.

NATURAL GAS PIPELINE OPERATIONS. The following table provides pertinent
information relating to the Company's natural gas pipeline operations.

(MILLION CUBIC FEET PER DAY)
   Natural gas sales volumes        160        98            62

</TABLE>


The Company's natural gas pipeline operations had increased gross margin of
$137,000 and increased EBITD of $13,000.  These increases were the result of
the addition of the Willow Springs system which the Company acquired
effective January 1, 1995. These increases were substantially offset by lower
margins on the Company's off-system sales.

principal amount of $8,000,000.00;  provided, however, in no event  shall
