Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1) The Condensed Balance Sheet as of August 31, 1999, and the Condensed
Statements of Operations and Cash Flow for three months ended August 31, 1999
and 1998, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of the
Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present the
financial position of Company as of August 31, 1999 and the results of
operations and cash flow for the three months ended August 31, 1999 and 1998.
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 Company's May 31, 1999 Form 10-KSB.
3) The results of operations for the periods ended August 31, 1999 and
1998 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 Company's working capital continued to decrease, as amounts due to
Company's parent, U.S. Energy Corp. ("USE") continued to be accrued for office
and administrative costs. The $1,200 decrease in working capital during the
quarter ended August 31, 1999 compared to May 31,1999, left a working capital
deficit of $44,600 as compared to a working capital deficit of $35,300 at August
31, 1998. The other reduction of working capital was as a result of certain
deposits which were reported as other assets as May 31, 1999 in the amounts of
$300, were forfeited.
The Company anticipates that it will be able to meet its capital
requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31, 2000 if USE does not
make demand on amounts due. However, the Company 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 Company had no revenues from operations during the most recently
completed quarter ended August 31, 1999 or the corresponding quarter of the
prior year. The Company did however recognize $400 in interest revenue for each
of the quarters ended August 31, 1999 and August 31, 1998 on cash invested in
interest bearing accounts.
General and administrative costs decreased during the quarter ended August
31, 1999 from the same period of the previous year by $5,800, primarily due to a
temporary decrease in professional services. This decrease is a result of the
annual audit fees not being recorded during the quarter ended August 31, 1999.
These expenses will be recorded during the second quarter ended November 30,
1999. Corresponding expenses were recorded in the quarter ended August 21, 1998.
The Company's operations consist primarily of administrative activities
associated with the preparation of various reports and documents as required by
law.
