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

          For the second quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company plans to
stimulate the Elk Valley #14 for oil.  This well is a 50/50 joint venture
between the Company and Delta Producers, Inc. of Greenville Mississippi.  An
oil zone in the Maxton formation was encountered during a test of the Big
Lime.  Since oil prices have rebounded, this zone has become extremely
attractive as an untested oil producer.

          The Company is also planning a stimulation of the Medical Investors
Group #1.  This well is located in the Jellico Field.  The Cox zone in the Big
Lime and the Maxton are both targets for gas production.  Gas from this well
will be sold into the Company's Jellico Pipeline to Citizens Utility District.

          The Company is making extensive use of its 127,000 well database
GeoGraphix system to explore potential plays in the Knox Formation.  This hot
new play is currently underway in Hancock County, Tennessee, and promises to
generate renewed interest in the deeper horizons in the southern Appalachian
Basin.  This play has received considerable press coverage from the
substantial finds of Tengasco, Inc. of Knoxville, Tennessee. The Company
currently holds a strategic acreage position with plans to acquire more.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

          Cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 1999, decreased by $3,450 from
the April 30, 1999 balance, due primarily to a payment on notes payable.

          The Company believes that its current cash flow will be sufficient
to support its cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

          The Company had revenues of $300,266 for the first quarter of its
fiscal year, down from the $459,879 in revenues recognized during the first
quarter of its last fiscal year primarily due to less drilling and service
work.  Working capital decreased $55,377 during the first quarter due to
reduced revenues.

          The Company's net loss before depreciation, depletion and
amortization for the first quarter was $128,441.

Year  2000 Compliance
- ---------------------

          The Company believes that its internal system of personal computers
is Year 2000 compliant.  It has no other computer systems.  Management has
confirmed with its bank and its insurer that those entities' computer system
are Year 2000 compliant.

          ----------------------

Name                Date           Number of Shares      Consideration
