                     ALTEX INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Consolidated, Condensed Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Financial  Statements.  In the opinion of management,  the accompanying
unaudited, consolidated, con densed financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December
31,  1995,  its cash flows for the  quarters  ended  December  31, 1995 and 1994
("Q1FY96" and  "Q1FY95"),  and its results of operations  for Q1FY96 and Q1FY95.
Such   adjustments   consisted  only  of  normal  re  curring   items.   Certain
reclassifications  have  been made to the  financial  statements  for  Q1FY95 to
conform with the classifications used in the financial statements for Q1FY96.

The results of operations for the periods ended December 31 are not  necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.  Certain  information  and footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted.
The accounting  policies  followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the
Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  contained in the Company's  1995
Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB,  and it is  suggested  that these  consolidated,
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction therewith.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

During Q1FY96 cash decreased  because the Company used $18,000 cash in operating
activities and expended  $17,000 cash on the acquisition of shares of its Common
Stock.  Cash  provided by operating  activities  decreased as compared to Q1FY95
because during Q1FY96 the Company expended funds that reduced accounts  payable,
accrued reclamation,  restoration,  and dismantlement expense, and other accrued
expenses. During Q1FY96 other receivables decreased because the Company received
$8,000 in refundable  production  taxes and $6,000 in prepaid expense related to
an   unsuccessful   recompletion.   Accrued   reclamation,    restoration,   and
dismantlement  expense  decreased  during  Q1FY96  because the Company  expended
$28,000 to plug the  remaining  unplugged  wells in the field  discussed  below.
Other accrued expenses decreased during the quarter because the Company received
invoices for its  previously  accrued  audit and tax  preparation  expense,  and
because  during Q1FY96 the Company paid its  president an accrued  $9,000 bonus.
Also during Q1FY96 the Company  retired  approximately  6,400,000  shares of its
Common  Stock,  which had the effect of reducing  Common  Stock,  par value,  by
$64,000 and  additional  paid in capital by $594,000.  During Q1FY96 the Company
acquired 306,000 shares of its Common Stock at a total cost of $17,000.

The Company owns property  which contains  oil-contaminated  soil. At this time,
the  Company  cannot  reasonably  predict  what  reclamation  activities  may be
required  to  restore  the  property,  or  their  costs.  However,  based on the
Company's  preliminary  assessment of the contamination and feasible reclamation
alternatives,  the Company esti mates such  reclamation  and  restoration  costs
could range from $60,000 to $160,000,  of which the Company has accrued $60,000.
As of  December  31,  1995,  the  Company  had  plugged  all of the wells on the
property for a total cost of approximately $43,000. The Company expects to begin
selling equipment from the property and to commence  reclamation and restoration
activities  during the Summer of 1996.  There were no other material  changes in
the Company's financial condition during Q1FY96.

At current oil and gas prices,  unless the  Company's  production of oil and gas
increases as the result of  acquisitions  of producing  oil and gas  properties,
successful  drilling  activities,  or successful  recompletions,  the Company is
likely to experience negative cash flow from operations in fiscal 1996. Although
the Company continually evaluates possible acquisitions of producing oil and gas
properties,  the market for such properties has become highly competitive,  with
properties  trading  at  prices  well  above  those  implied  by  the  Company's
acquisition criteria.  Therefore,  the Company has not consummated a significant
acquisition of interests in producing oil and gas properties since fiscal 1990.

With the exception of the Company's  intention to acquire  producing oil and gas
properties,  cash flows that may result  from such  acquisitions,  and  possible
additional  reclamation,  restoration,  and dismantlement  expense,  the Company
knows of no trends,  events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely
to have a material impact on the Com pany's  short-term or long-term  liquidity.
Except for cash  generated by the operation of the  Company's  producing oil and
gas properties,  asset sales, or interest income, the Company has no internal or
external  sources of liquidity  other than its working  capital.  At January 15,
1996 the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Other  income  increased  from Q1FY95 to Q1FY96  because the Company  recognized
income of $9,000  related to an estimated  production tax liability for which it
is no longer liable.  Production taxes declined from Q1FY95 to Q1FY96 because of
reduced  sales.  During  Q1FY95 the  Company  recognized  $5,000 in  exploration
expense  related  to  an  attempted  recompletion.  During  Q1FY96  the  Company
recognized $8,000 in reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement expense related
to the plugging and abandonment of one well in a field in Wyoming. Depreciation,
depletion,  and amortization  expense declined from Q1FY95 to Q1FY96 because the
Company's  basis in its property and equipment  declined.  Net income  increased
from Q1FY95 to Q1FY96 because a slight reduction in revenue was more than offset
by a reduction in expense.

The Company's  sales and net income are functions of the prices of oil, gas, and
natural  gas liquids and of the level of  production  expense,  all of which are
highly variable and largely beyond the Company's control.  In addition,  because
the quantity of oil and gas produced from existing wells declines over time, the
Company's  sales and net  income  will  decrease  unless  rising  prices  offset
production  declines or the Company increases its net production by investing in
the drilling of new wells,  in successful  workovers,  or in the  acquisition of
interests  in  producing   oil  or  gas   properties.   With  the  exception  of
unanticipated   variations   in  production   levels  and  possible   additional
reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement expense, the Company is not aware of
any other trends,  events, or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably
expected to have a material impact on sales or revenue or income from continuing
operations.
