period ended June 30, 1995 was approximately $44,000.  LOE for the
three month period ended June 30, 1995 was approximately $21,000. 
Sales volumes and values are set forth in the following tables:

</TABLE>

     Revenue increased due to a higher average oil price, interest
income and non-recurring refunds.  Higher prices more than offset the
decline in gas sales resulting from lower production levels and
property sales.

     General and administrative expenses increased due to annual
meeting expenses of $15,000, non-recurring expenses of $16,000 and state
taxes of $18,000.  The Company did not have an annual meeting in 1995 and
state taxes were insignificant.

     Interest expense decreased due to the conversion of the
convertible debt in November 1995.

     QUARTER-TO-DATE COMPARISON

     Revenue and general and administration increased to due the
reasons stated above.

OUTLOOK FOR REMAINDER OF 1996
     HEDGING

     The Company continues to evaluate hedging strategies for its oil
production but has never entered into such actions and at this time does not
expect to.  As of August 12, 1996, the Company is receiving $18.82 per barrel
for its California production.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash from operations and available funds will enable the Company to meet
its obligations, commitments and capital expenditures as they become due
through the next 12 months. 

     FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Assuming stable production and prices, a small profit is expected for
the remaining six months.
