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



                              Results of Operations

   Pipeline operations - Revenue for the three months ended January 31, 1997
increased $17,000 or 44.7% as compared to the three months ended January 31,
1996.  The Company entered into an agreement effective December 1, 1996 to
jointly operate their gas gathering system with a related party's gas gathering
system.  A joint central compression and dehydration facility has been built.
The income, costs, and expenses are shared equally.  

   Net Oil and Gas Royalties - Revenue for the three months ended January 31,
1997 increased $10,000 or 40.0% as compared to the three months ended
January 31, 1996.  The increase is due to a rise in the prices of oil and gas.

   Operating Expenses - Expenses for the three months ended January 31, 1997
decreased $6,000 or 26.1% as compared to the three months ended January 31,
1996.  Decreases in pipe line expense and fertilizer purchases were the
primary causes.

   Administrative and General Expenses - Expenses for the three months ended
January 31, 1997 increased $14,000 or 33.3%.  Allocated salaries from a related
party contributed to the increase.

   Provision for Income Taxes - Provision for income taxes for the three months
ended January 31, 1997 increased $7,000 as compared to the three months ended
January 31, 1996.  This is due to an increase in income before provision for
income taxes.


                          Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Company generated $118,000 in operating activities for the three months
ended January 31, 1997 as compared to using $59,000 of net cash flow from
operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 1996.  The Company
anticipates that adequate working capital will continue to be provided from
future operations.
