The net loss to be reported for the third quarter of 1995 will be
approximately $300,000, which is approximately $952,000 less than
the net loss of $1,249,772 reported in the third quarter of 1994.
This difference is primarily attributable to a decrease of
$261,000 in general and administrative expenses which principally
consisted of one-time charges in the third quarter of 1994, a loss
of $435,000 reported in the third quarter of 1994 as a loss on the
sale of certain properties of the registrant, and a decrease in
dry hole and abandonment expenses of approximately $70,000.
