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

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared with 1997

Oil and gas  revenues  decreased in 1998 due a decrease in  production  combined
with a decrease in oil and gas prices.

Revenue  from lease  operations  decreased  in 1998.  The  company  lowered  its
overhead charge on marginal wells.

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.  In August  1998 sold this  pipeline.  Therefore  both gas
purchases and natural gas sales increased in 1997.

Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to 1997

Oil and gas revenues  decreased  due a decrease in  production  and because of a
decrease in oil gas prices.


Gas  purchases and sale of natural gas decreased due to the sale 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.
