NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) The Condensed Balance Sheet as of August 31, 1998, and the Condensed
Statements of Operations and Cash Flow for three months ended August 31, 1998
and 1997, have been prepared by the Registrant without audit. In the opinion of
the Registrant, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present the
financial position of Registrant as of August 31, 1998 and the results of
operations and cash flow for the three months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.
2) Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Registrant's May 31, 1998 Form
10-KSB.
3) The results of operations for the periods ended August 31, 1998 and
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Registrant's working capital continued to decrease, as amounts due to
Registrant's parent, U.S. Energy Corp. ("USE") affiliate USECB Joint Venture
("USECB") continued to be accrued for office and administrative costs. The
$7,100 decrease in working capital during the quarter ended August 31, 1998
compared to May 31,1998, left a working capital deficit of $35,300 as compared
to a working capital deficit of $18,200 at August 31, 1997.
The Registrant anticipates that it will be able to meet its capital
requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31, 1999 as USE has not
made demand on amounts due. However, the Registrant must secure drilling or
construction contracts, or negotiate a way to retire debt to its directors and
parent company in order to continue operating long-term.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Registrant had no revenues from operations during the most recently
completed quarter ended August 31, 1998 or the corresponding quarter of the
prior year. The Registrant did however recognize $400 and $300 in interest
revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997 respectively.
General and administrative costs increased during the quarter ended August
31, 1998 from the same period of the previous year by $4,200, primarily due to
an increase in professional services, which had not yet been billed for audit
services for the quarter ended August 31, 1997.
The Registrant's operations consist primarily of administrative activities
associated with the preparation of various reports and documents as required by
law.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

(b) Reports on Form 8-K. There were no reports filed by the Registrant on
