NOTE  1  -  BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION
            -----------------------

The  financial  information  included  herein  is  unaudited;  however,  such
information  reflects  all  adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal recurring
adjustments)  which  are,  in  the  opinion  of management, necessary for a fair
statement  of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the
three  month  period  ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results  to  be  expected  for  the  full  year.

The  accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include footnotes and
certain  financial  presentations  normally  required  under  generally accepted
accounting  principles;  and,  therefore, should be read in conjunction with the
Company's  Annual  Report  on  Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the 1998 financial statements to
conform  to  the
presentation  used  in  1999.


NOTE  2  -  PER  SHARE  COMPUTATIONS
            ------------------------

Per  share  computations  are  based  upon the weighted average number of common
shares  outstanding  during each year. Common stock equivalents are not included
in  the  computations  since  their  effect  would  be  anti-dilutive.

ITEM  2  - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
           ---------------------------------------------------------------------
           OF OPERATIONS
           -------------

FINANCIAL  CONDITION

As  discussed  in  the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December  31,  1998,  the  Company has sold substantially all of its oil and gas
properties  to  an  unrelated  party.  The Company has retained interests in two
small  oil  and  gas  properties.  As a result of the sale, the Company only has
marginal  revenues  and  expenses from the retained interests in certain oil and
gas  properties  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 1999. The Company had a
negative  cash  flow  of approximately $114,000 for the three months ended March
31,  1999,  compared  to  a  negative cash flow of approximately $19,000 for the
three  months  ended  March  31,  1998. The current period negative cash flow is
mainly  resulting  from  normal  general and administrative  costs for the three
months with marginal production activities. The negative cash flows at March 31,
1998  is  the  result  of  depressed oil prices and production cutbacks. At this
moment, it is difficult to project whether the negative cash flows will continue
during  the  second  quarter  of  1999.

Three  months ended March 31, 1999 as compared with the three months ended March
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 1998
- ---------

The  Company  sold substantially all of its oil and gas properties in the middle
of the second quarter of 1998. Accordingly, results of continuing operations for
the  period  ended  March 31, 1999 is not comparable to the same period in 1998.
