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

Results of Operations

1998 Compared to 1997
Oil and gas  revenues  decreased  in 1998  primarily  due to a  decrease  in gas
prices.



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.





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.
