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



                             Results of Operations

  Pipeline Operations - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1996
decreased $25,000 or 18.5% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1995.
The decline is the result of a decrease in the volume of natural gas
transmitted through the system.

  Net Oil and Gas Royalties - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1996
decreased $8,000 or 9.5% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1995.
The decline is due to a decrease in production.

  Farm Produce Sales - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1996
increased $10,000 or 500% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1995.
The increase is due to an increase in United State Department of Agriculture
subsidy payments received.

  Administrative and General Expenses - Expenses for the nine months ended
July 31, 1996 increased $21,000 or 19.4% as compared to the nine months ended
July 31, 1995.  Increases in accounting costs and in the cost of contract
office personnel were the primary causes of the increases in administrative
and general expenses.

  Depreciation Expense - Depreciation expense for the nine months ended
July 31, 1996 increased $9,000 or 18.75% as compared to the nine months
ended July 31, 1995.  Additional property, plant, and equipment placed in
service had the effect of increasing depreciation expense.

  Other Income - Other income for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 increased
$4,000 or 23.5% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1995.  This
increase is due to an increase in interest income.

  Provision for Income Taxes - Provision for income taxes for the nine months
ended July 31, 1996 decreased $10,000 or 71.4% as compared to the nine months
ended July 31, 1995.  This is due to a decrease in income.


                        Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company used $75,000 cash for operating activities for the nine months
ended July 31, 1996 as compared to generating $77,000 of net cash flow for the
prior period.  The change was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts
receivable for pasture and ranch lease rentals.  It is anticipated that the
account receivable will be collected in the fourth quarter.  The Company
anticipates that adequate working capital will be provided from future
operations.  A dividend of $58,040 (.04 per share of common stock) will be paid
on October 26, 1996 to holders of record May 15, 1996.  Cash requirements will
be provided in part by redemption of short-term certificates of deposit.
