      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normally recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
Company's financial position and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the periods presented.  The results of operations
for the three month period is not, in management's opinion,
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year of
operations.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report.

2.  Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128) -In February 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share,"
which was adopted by the Company for the year ended December 31,
1997.  SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per
share with a presentation of basic earnings per share based upon
the weighted average number of common shares for the period.  It
also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share for companies with complex structures.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the first three months of 1999, the Company's total revenues
were $1,889,576, a $397,797 or 26.7% increase from the total revenues
in 1998 of $1,491,779.  This increase in total revenues can be
attributed to an increase in turnkey drilling during the period in
1999.  For the period in 1999, the Company  achieved a net operating
profit of $143,937,  a $33,939 or 19.1% decrease over the net
operating profit in the first three months of 1998 of $177,876.  For
the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company reported a net profit
of $52,124, compared to the net profit of $106,295 for the same
period in 1998, a $54,171 or 51% decrease.  The Company's management
attribute this decrease in operating and net profit to a decrease in
revenues from oil and gas sales

Turnkey drilling revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were
$1,136,503 which were offset by drilling and development costs of
$618,862.  For the same period in 1998, turnkey drilling revenues
were $416,182, while drilling and development costs were $134,423.
This represents an increase in revenues of $720,321 or 173% and an
increase in costs of $484,439 or 360%.   The increase in drilling
revenues in 1999 were mainly due to the drilling of four wells in the
first quarter of 1999.  The drilling revenues and costs in the first
quarter of 1998 were a continuation of sales from the Company's 1997
drilling projects.

Oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were
$612,178 compared to $976,848 for the same period in 1998, which
represents a $364,670 or 37.3% decrease.  This decrease in revenues
was mainly due to a decrease in the Company's natural gas production
during the period in 1999.

The Company's oil and gas lease operating expenses increased by
$33,522, or 16.7%, to $233,899 for the three months ended March 31,
1999, from $200,377 for the same period in 1998.  This increase in
costs can be attributed to the increase in the number of wells
operated by the Company in the first quarter of 1999 when compared
to the first quarter of 1998, due to the increase in wells drilled
and placed in production during the year in 1998.

<PAGE> 9
The aggregate of supervisory fees and other income was $140,895 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $42,146 (42.7%) from
$98,749 during the same period in 1998.  This increase was mainly due
to an increase in fees received, during the period in 1999,  from new
pipeline and compressors placed in service during the year in 1998.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased to
$441,894 from $239,711, an increase of $202,183 (84.3%) for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, as compared to 1998.  This increase in
expense can be attributed to the increase in the number of oil and
gas assets owned by the Company.

General and administration expenses decreased by $50,901, or 13.1%,
from $388,435 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to $337,534 for
the same period in 1999.  Legal and accounting expense decreased to
$66,227 for the period, compared to $187,692 for the quarter in 1998,
a $121,465  (64.7%) decrease.  This decrease can be attributed to
lower litigation costs during the quarter in 1999.  Marketing expense
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, decreased $16,042 or 25.4%, to
$47,223, compared to $63,265 for the same period in 1998.  Marketing
expense for the Company varies from period to period according to the
number of marketing events attended by Company personnel and
associated travel costs.

The Company periodically assesses the value of significant proved and
unproved properties and charges impairments of value to expense.
During the first quarter of 1998, $100,000 was recorded as an
impairment loss based on this assessment.  There were no such
impairment losses recorded  in first quarter of 1999.

During the year in 1998, the Company extended an existing credit line
from a major commercial bank.  Because of borrowings pursuant to this
credit line, interest expense increased to $91,813 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 from  $68,940  for the same period in 1998, a
$22,873 or 33.2% increase.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY:

At March 31, 1999, the Company had current assets totaling $2,196,781
and current liabilities totaling $4,007,769, a $1,810,988 working
capital deficit.  The primary reason for this working capital deficit
is the Company's obligation to complete wells on behalf of investors
who bought fractional working interests from the Company.  The
Company records these obligations as deferred revenue from turnkey
drilling until the drilling projects are completed.  For the industry
as a whole, a working capital deficit is not uncommon.  Management
believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity for the short
term.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  For the quarter ended March  31, 1999, cash
provided by operating activities totaled $191,426 compared to
$285,799 provided by operating activities for the same period in
1998.  This decrease in cash provided can be mainly attributed to the
decrease in oil and gas sales for the period in 1999 when compared
to 1998.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES.   Net cash used by investing activities,
primarily in capital acquisitions of oil and gas properties, amounted
to $489,770 for the quarter in 1999, compared to $342,662 used by
investing activities for the same period in 1998.  The increase in
cash used can be primarily attributable to the increase in turnkey
drilling which occurred during the period in 1999 when compared the
period in 1998.

<PAGE> 10
FINANCING ACTIVITIES.   For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, net
cash used by financing activities was $618,514, primarily for
principal reduction of the Company's line of credit, compared to cash
used by financing activities for the same period in 1998 of $387,261.
This increase in net cash used was mainly due to the principal
reduction of the Company's line of credit during the period in 1999.
