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



                             Results of Operations


  Pipeline Operations - Revenue for the six months ended April 30, 1996
decreased $14,000 or 15.6% compared to the six months ended April 30, 1995.
The decline is primarily the result of a decrease in natural gas transmitted
through the system.

  Net Oil & Gas Royalties - Revenue for the six months ended April 30, 1996
decreased $6,000 or 10.3% compared to the six months ended April 30, 1995.
The decline is due to a decrease in production.

  Operating Expenses - Expenses for the six months ended April 30, 1996
increased $3,000 or 10.0% compared to the six months ended April 30, 1995.
Operating expenses increased due to higher maintenance costs of the ranch
lands.

  Administrative and General Expenses - Expenses for the six months ended
April 30, 1996 increased $8,000 or 10.1% compared to the six months ended
April 30, 1995.  Increases in outside services and increases in the cost of
contract office personnel were the primary causes of the increase in
administrative and general expenses.

  Provision for Income Taxes - Provision for income taxes for the six months
ended April 30, 1996 decreased $5,000 or 62.5% compared to the six months ended
April 30, 1995.  This is due to a decrease in income.


                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company used $80,000 in operating activities for the six months ended
April 30, 1996 compared to generating $53,000 of net cash flow from operating
activities for the six months ended April 30, 1995.  The Company anticipates
that adequate working capital will be provided from future operations.  Cash
required for expenditures for property and equipment will be provided in part
by redemption of short-term certificates of deposit.  On March 12, 1996 the
Company's Board of Directors approved a $.04 per share dividend to be paid in
the Company's third quarter.
