Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  financial  statements  are presented in  accordance  with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures
normally required by generally accepted accounting  principles or those normally
made in the Company's annual Form 10-K filing.  Accordingly,  the reader of this
form  10-Q  may  wish to refer to the  Company's  Form  10-K for the year  ended
December 31, 1996 for further information.

In the opinion of management,  the  accompanying  interim  financial  statements
contain  all  material   adjustments,   consisting  only  of  normal   recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition,  the results of
operations  and  changes  in cash  flows  of the  Company  and its  consolidated
subsidiary for the interim periods.


Note2. Subsequent events

Stock Split
In December 1996 the Board of Directors  declared a 1-for-6  reverse stock split
on the Company's  common stock.  The record date was January 31, 1997. All share
and per share data as appropriate,  reflect this split.  The effect of the split
is presented  retroactively  within stockholder's equity at December 31, 1996 by
transferring  the par value for the  additional  shares  issued from  additional
paid-in capital to the common stock accounts.

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

Results of Operations

1997 Compared to 1996
Oil and gas revenues  increased in 1997 primarily due to a sharp increase in oil
and gas prices. Although prices rose sharply during the winter, these prices are
not expected to remain  strong.  Gas  production  also  increased  primarily the
result of an existing well that was brought back into production. This well, not
in  production  in 1996,  accounted  for  approximately  $35,000  of oil and gas
revenues during the first quarter of 1997.

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.

Lease  operating  expenses  increased  in 1997.  This was due to an  increase in
severance  taxes from  higher oil and gas prices and also due to an  increase in
repairs and maintenance on existing wells.


1996 Compared to 1995
Oil and gas revenues  increased  approximately 18% in 1996 due to an increase in
oil  prices and due to  acquisitions  of a number of oil and gas  properties  in
1995. Accordingly, lease operating expenses also increased.

General and  administrative  costs  increased  in 1996  primarily  because of an
increase in staffing requirements.



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.
