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, 2000
increased $6,000 or 8.6% as compared to the three months ended January 31,
1999.  This is primarily the result of an increase in gas volume transmitted.

   Net Oil and Gas Royalties - Revenue for the three months ended January 31,
2000 increased $ 4,000 or 12.9% as compared to the three months ended
January 31, 1999.  The increase is due to the increase in oil and gas prices.

   Farm Produce Sales - Revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2000
increased $25,000 or 71.4% as compared to the three months ended January 31,
1999.  This was the result of a government farm production payment.

   Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2000 increased
$23,000 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 1999.  $10,000 of
the increase was applicable to increased farm operating expenses and $13,000
was applicable to pipeline operations.

   Administrative and General Expenses - Expenses for the three months ended
January 31, 2000 increased $27,000 or 46.6%.  This increase is primarily the
result of increased salaries allocation.

   Equity in loss of 50% owned affiliate - The Company recorded a loss of
$10,000 attributable to its 50% investment and advances in Trinity Valley Pecan
Co. ("Trinity"),  The cumulative losses equal the company's total outlay in
Trinity, including projected repayment of loan guarantees.


                          Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Company had negative cash flow of $43,000 in operating activities for
the three months ended January 31, 2000 as compared to a negative cash flow
of $8,000 from operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 1999.
On February 17, 2000, the Company guaranteed a loan of Trinity in the amount of
$300,000.  In addition to collateral consisting of 1,554 acres of land, the
loan was also guaranteed by the J.R. Parten Ranch Trust which owns 50% of
Trinity.  The Company anticipates that adequate working capital will continue
to be provided from future operations, subject to repayment of loan guarantees
of Trinity.
