NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CON'T:
--------------------------------------------------
Income taxes:
-------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting
for Income Taxes", which requires a change from the deferred method to
the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying
enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of
existing assets and liabilities.
At May 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $8,091,780 for federal income tax purposes. These
carryforwards, if not utilized to offset taxable income will expire at
the end of the indicated years:
2001 $ 20,180
2002 -
2003 19,735
2004 22,537
2005 2,401
2006 6,447
2007 2,487
2008 67,274
2009 -
2010 964,067
2011 2,903,569
2011 4,083,083
---------
$8,091,780
==========
There was no provision or benefit for income taxes in fiscal 1997.
Reclassifications:
------------------
Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
------------------------------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

ITEM 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Results of Operations for six month period ended November 30, 1997 compared to
same period in 1996.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has experienced continuing operating expenses for the six month
period of $36,871 compared to $196,756 in the same period in 1996. The revenues
for the period totaled $0 from oil and gas operations compared with $0 for same
period in 1996. Miscellaneous revenues from discounts and liquidations totalled
$106,779 in the period in 1997. The Company recorded net income of $69,908 for
the period as compared to a ($239,362) loss for the same period in fiscal year
1996. Other Revenues and Expenses (Real Estate Rental) showed a net loss for the
period of ($0) as compared to ($42,606) net loss for same period in 1996. The
Company losses on operations will continue until income from oil and gas
operations and real estate sales and development can be achieved. While the
Company is seeking capital sources for investment in oil and gas wells and real
estate development, there is no assurance that sources can be found. The Company
has no real estate revenues and has no other income, except income attributable
to discounts and liquidation.
Results of Operations for the three month period ended November 30, 1997
compared to same period in 1996.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has experienced continuing operating expenses for the three
month period of $10,339 compared to $118,481 in the same period in 1996. The
revenues for the period totaled $0 from oil and gas operations compared with $0
for same period in 1996. In the three month period in 1997, the Company had
miscellaneous income of $72,723 from liquidation and no miscellaneous income in
1996. The Company recorded a net income of $62,384 for the period as compared to
a ($69,908) loss for the same period in fiscal year 1996. Other Revenues and
Expenses (Real Estate Rental) showed a net income (loss) for the period of ($0)
as compared to $22,023 net loss for same period in 1996. The Company losses on
operations will continue until income from any operations or real estate sales
can be achieved. While the Company is seeking capital sources for investment,
there is no assurance that sources can be found. The Company has no real estate
revenues and has no other income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company had inadequate cash capital at the end of the period. The
Company will be forced to either borrow against or sell assets or make private
placements of stock in order to fund operations continuance. No assurance exists
as to the ability to achieve sales of assets or loans against the assets, or
make private placements of stock.
