operations  and  changes  in cash  flows  of the  Company  and its  consolidated

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

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with 1996

In December 1996 the Company  expanded its current pipeline system by acquiring,
at no  cost,  a  pipeline  system  in Hood  County,  Texas.  The  Company  began
purchasing  natural gas of other  producers and reselling this gas to a pipeline
marketing  affiliate.  Therefore  both  gas  purchases  and  natural  gas  sales
increased in 1997.


Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 1996

Oil and gas revenues decreased primarily because of a decrease in gas prices.

Lease operating expenses increased because due to workovers of existing wells.

Gas purchases and sale of natural gas  increased due to the  acquisition  of the
pipeline system described above.



Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company's  operating  capital needs, as well as its capital spending program
are generally funded from cash flow generated by operations. Because future cash
flow is subject to a number of variables,  such as the level of  production  and
the sales price of oil and  natural  gas,  the Company can provide no  assurance
that its operations will provide cash  sufficient to maintain  current levels of
capital  spending.  Accordingly,  the Company may be required to seek additional
financing from third parties in order to fund its  exploration  and  development
programs.
