CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE 
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Statements in this discussion which are not historical facts may be considered 
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the 
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, including projected sales based upon 
orders, estimated cost savings and savings that may be generated from 
restructuring. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", and 
similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Any forward looking 
statement involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or 
results to differ, perhaps materially, from the events described in the 
forward looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance 
on these forward looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to 
publicly update or revise any forward looking statement, whether as a result 
of new information, future events or otherwise. The risks associated with the 
Company's forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, risks 
associated with the Company's history of losses and uncertain profitability, 
reliance on a large customer, risks associated with competition, general 
economic conditions, reliance on key management and production people, future 
capital needs, dilution, effects of outstanding notes and convertible 
debentures, limited public market, low stock price, and lack of liquidity.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 
Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes and other information 
included in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.  


Part I.  Financial Information

     Quarter Ended  September 30, 1998

     GENERAL

     The following financial information is submitted in response to the 
requirements of Form 10-QSB and does not purport to be financial statements 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures that are 
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Further, 
in the opinion of the management, the interim financial statements reflect 
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the period 
indicated.

     The results of operations for the quarter ended as stated above are not 
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year 
ending December 31st.

Item 1.  Financial Statements

     The balance sheet of The Kensington Company, Inc. (the "Company") as of 
the Quarter stated above, and the related statement of income and changes in 
financial position thereto are incorporated herein by reference to the 
Company's quarterly report.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial                     Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations
For the quarter, revenues totaled $739k. This represents a 22% increase over 
revenue for the same period for 1997. Gross profits totaled $270k as compared 
to $204k for the previous year. Net income for the quarter totaled $25k, as 
compared to a $67k loss for the same period in 1997. Year to date revenues for 
1998 are up 15% over those of 1997. Net income for year to date 1998 is $96k 
as compared to a loss of $1k for 1997. Revenues continue to be strong from 
existing customers, which seems to parallel the economy. We have also 
continued to expand sales to new customers. The backlog of customer PO's as of 
the end of the quarter is approximately $1.1M. Therefore we expect the 4th 
quarter to exceed 1997 level.
                                  

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     For the quarter, the Company had a net income from operations of $53k. 
The company has been able to meet its debt obligations and has restructured or 
repaid the remaining debentures which had come 
due.                                  

     During the period stated the Registrant did not sell to directors, 
management and others, any common stock.

Inflation

     The rate of inflation has had a great impact on the Company's results of 
operations and is expected to have a continued impact on continuing operations 
due to the increase in wood product costs and the fact that we have to bid 
most of our projects and we can not pass all of the cost increases to our 
customers.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings - None

Item 2.  Changes in Securities - None

Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities - None

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders -

Item 5.  Other Information - 
During the third quarter of 1998, the sale and transfer of the corporate shell 
and some of the assets of American Gas Corporation was completed. This 
transaction was started in March, 1998, but was not completed until July, 
1998. During 1996, $1.02 million dollars of American Gas Corporation's assets 
were written down leaving only $173 in assets on the books of American Gas 
Corporation. This write down was mentioned in the Company's 10-KSB, Item 6, 
for both 1996 and 1997. American Gas Corporation is now known as PowerSource 
Corp. and is registered as an Electric Service Provider by the State of 
California, a Renewable Energy Provider, and as a Wholesale Electric Power and 
Energy Transactions Marketer and Public Utility Company by the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission. The Company will retain just under 10% ownership of 
PowerSource Corp. and has options and preferred stock to purchase 
approximately five percent more of PowerSource (there may be dilution). In 
addition, PowerSource is expected to pay the Company $3,000 a month for five 
years as a consultant.

The Kensington Company, Inc. has also been using the name "Kensington 
International Holding Corporation" The Minnesota Secretary of State's office 
has informed the Company that the state made a mistake when it allowed the 
Company to change it's name from Select Gas, Inc. to the "The Kensington 
Company, Inc." and it has requested that the Company change its name to 
Kensington International Holding Corporation.

S-8 filing as described in Item 2 herein.
