                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (unaudited)

     1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Registrant in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In
the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto included in the Registrant's 1996 Annual Report on Form
10-KSB.

     2.  The consolidated financial statements included herein are
consolidated with the accounts of Petrolind Drilling Funds, Inc. and Realco,
Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant, neither of which was
active during 1996 or 1995.

     3.  Net income per share of common stock is computed on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the nine months ended September
30.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding was determined by
totaling the number of shares outstanding at the end of each month and
dividing that total by the number of months.

                                              Total Number of
                                            Shares Outstanding

     4.  The expected tax benefit resulting from operating losses for the
first nine months of 1997 has not been recorded because it is not expected to
be realizable.  Additionally, there were no significant changes in the
temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 1997.

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


     Oil and gas sales revenues decreased approximately 16.6% in the third 
quarter of 1997, compared to the third quarter of 1996, the result being a 
decrease in average oil prices of approximately $3.16 per barrel.  The 
Company's net loss for the period decreased to $34,484, or ($.02) per share, 
compared to $37,450, or ($.02) per share in the 1996 period.

     The Company sustained an operating loss of $36,894 in the third quarter 
of 1997, compared to an operating loss of $34,405 in the third quarter of 
1996.  For the nine month period ending September 30, 1997, the Company's net 
loss increased approximately 62.2% to $153,280 from the $94,491 net loss in 
the prior year's period.  Operating losses in the 1997 period also increased 
approximately 38.7% compared to the 1996 period.

     Oil prices averaged $17.53 per barrel during the third quarter of 1997, 
compared to an average of $20.69 per barrel in the 1996 period.  For the nine 
month period, oil prices averaged $18.67 per barrel in 1997 compared to $19.57 
in 1996.

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997, of 
$230,171 compared to $218,355 at the end of the 1996 fiscal year.  Management 
estimates that it owes $301,701 from the settlement of the Horne Lease dispute 
with Oryx to owners of other interests in the Horne Lease.

     In the months of August and September, 1997, Joseph M. Rodano, President 
and Treasurer of Petrol Industries, Inc., as well as a member of its Board of 
Directors, purchased a total of 30,000 Shares Common Stock, $.10 par value per 
share, of Petrol Industries, Inc.  Each purchase was made in an open market 
transaction, and all of the shares purchased by Mr. Rodano were purchased with 
his personal funds.  As of September 30, 1997, Mr. Rodano owns an aggregate of 
477,325 Shares, comprising approximately 30% of the outstanding shares.
