information furnished herein reflects all adjustments consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the
interim periods reported herein. Operating results from the interim period may
not necessarily be indicative of the results for the year ended December 31,
1996. Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified
to conform to the current period's presentation.

25,840 shares at June 30, 1996 and 105,840 shares at June 30, 1995. At June
30, 1996, the Company's cost in this royalty trust is $30,825. At June 30,
1996, the market value of these securities which are designated as available
for sale aggregated $158,270, resulting in a gross unrealized gain in the
amount of $127,445 and an unrealized gain, net of tax effect, of $84,114. At
June 30, 1995, the market value of these securities was $912,870, resulting in

NOTE 5 - CAPITAL
On May 23, 1994, the Company privately placed 809,071 shares of common
stock for an aggregate consideration of $2,831,749. In its private placement
agreement with the purchasers, the Company granted them registration rights,
pursuant to which a registration statement on Form S-3 covering all the shares
was filed on June 22, 1994. The registration statement was declared effective
July 11, 1994 and the Company is obligated to maintain such effectiveness until
May 23, 1996. The Company removed from registration the shares of common stock
that remained unsold pursuant to an amendment to the registration statement
declared effective May 28, 1996. In connection with the private placement, the
Company's placement agent received a five-year warrant to purchase 106,867
shares of common stock at a price of $4.375 per share. The placement agent has
rights to participate in registered offerings of common stock by the Company.
The net proceeds to the Company from the private placement (after
deducting the placement agent's fee of $141,112 and expenses of approximately
$75,000) were approximately $2,616,000.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Disclosures Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements
other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q,
including, without limitation, statements contained in this "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, plans and
objectives of management of the Company for future operations, and industry
conditions, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,
it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been
correct. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties inherent in petroleum exploration, development and
production, including, but not limited to the risk that no commercially
productive oil and gas reservoirs will be encountered; inconclusive results
from 3-D seismic projects; delays or cancellation of drilling operations as a
result of a variety of factors; volatility of oil and gas prices due to
economic and other conditions; intense competition in the oil and gas industry;
operational risks (e.g., fires, explosions, blowouts, cratering and loss of
production); insurance coverage limitations and requirements; and potential
liability imposed by intense governmental regulation of oil and gas production;
all of which are beyond the control of the Company. Any one or more of these
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statement. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements disclosed in
this paragraph and otherwise in this report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, most of the exploration activity on the Company's
acreage has been funded and conducted by other oil companies and this activity
is expected to continue. Exploration activity typically generates lease bonus
and option income to the Company. If drilling is successful, the Company
receives royalty income from the oil or gas production but bears none of the
capital or operating costs. In order to accelerate the evaluation of its
acreage as well as increase its ownership in any reserves discovered, the
Company intends to increase its level of participation in exploring its acreage
by acquiring working interests. The extent to which the

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Company may acquire working interests will depend on the availability of
outside capital and cash flow from operations. Currently, the primary sources
of capital for the financing of the Company's operations are cash flow provided
from revenues generated by its proportionate share in oil and natural gas sales
and existing cash, including that from a private offering completed in 1994.
To the extent cash flow from operations does not significantly increase and
external sources of capital are limited or unavailable, the Company's ability
to make the capital investment to participate in 3-D seismic surveys and
increase its interest in projects on its acreage will be limited. Future funds
are expected to be provided through production from existing producing
properties and new producing properties that may be discovered through
exploration of the Company's acreage by third parties or by the Company itself.
Funds may also be provided through external financing in the form of debt or
equity. There can be no assurance as to the extent and availability of these
sources of funding.
The Company has no debt and maintains its excess cash funds in
interest-bearing deposits and commercial paper. The Company is not aware of
any demands, commitments or events which will result in its liquidity
increasing or decreasing in a material way. From time to time, the Company may
receive lease bonuses that cannot be anticipated and, when funds are available,
the Company may elect to participate in exploratory ventures. The Company also
may acquire producing oil and gas assets which could require the use of debt.
Management believes that sufficient funds are available internally to
meet anticipated capital requirements for fiscal 1996.
Since December 4, 1995, the Company, as of June 30, 1996, has used
$346,528.12 of its cash reserves to purchase 138,800 shares of its Common
Stock. These purchases were made pursuant to stock repurchase programs
authorized by the Board of Directors on October 10, 1995, of up to 100,000
shares of Common Stock and a second stock repurchase program on April 22, 1996,
of up to 150,000 shares of common stock. As of July 18, 1996, the Company has
purchased an aggregate of 51,200 shares at a purchase price of $135,850.00
under the second repurchase program. The repurchases of the Company's shares
of Common Stock were made in unsolicited open-market purchases, at market (not
premium) prices, without fixed terms and not contingent upon the tender of a
fixed minimum number of shares or in response to a third party bid and
otherwise in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
Revenues for the second quarter 1996 were $579,219 versus $365,503 for
the same period in 1995. Oil and gas sales were $523,642 on volumes of 16,314
BBLs and 90,606 MCF versus $299,387 on volumes of 12,856 BBLs and 65,659 MCF in
1995. The $224,255 increase in oil and gas sales resulted from oil and gas
volumes increasing 26.9% and 38.0%, respectively, and higher oil and gas
prices. Oil volumes increased primarily as a result of a successful
development well drilled on the mineral acreage as well as acquisitions made in
the second half of 1995. Gas volumes increased primarily due to stronger
market demand in 1996 as opposed to low demand in 1995 which resulted in
curtailed or shut-in wells in 1995. Oil prices increased 16.2% to $20.56/BBL
in 1996 from $17.70/BBL in 1995. Gas prices increased 90.8% to $2.08/MCF in
1996 from $1.09/MCF in 1995. Interest and other income was $55,577 in 1996
versus $66,116 in 1995.
Costs and expenses were $502,260 in 1996 versus $806,700 in 1995.
Lease operating expenses increased 38.1% to $127,710 in 1996 from $92,471 in
1995 due to the acquisitions made in 1995. Reflecting the Company's plan to
accelerate its acquisition efforts and its election not to participate in
certain drilling ventures on its minerals, the Company reduced expenses for dry
holes and abandonments by $50,991 to $54,986 in 1996 compared to $105,977 in
1995. As a result of the acquisitions made in the second half of 1995,
depreciation, depletion and amortization increased slightly to $55,322 in 1996
from $52,988 in 1995. Geological and geophysical expenses decreased 24.0% to
$47,522 in 1996 from $62,552 in 1995. General and administrative expenses
decreased significantly, $275,991 or 56.0%, primarily as a result of the
Company not having to defend itself against a competing slate of directors as
it did in 1995.
The Company recognized net income of $302,494, or $0.06 per share, for
the second quarter of 1996 versus a net loss of $441,197, or $0.08 per share,
for the same period in 1995. Net income for the second quarter of 1996 includes
a $375,551 gain from the sale of marketable securities compared to none for the
same period in 1995. Net income from operations after federal income taxes,
excluding the gain from the sale of marketable securities was $50,792 or $0.01
per share.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 36.2% to
$1,093,331 compared to $802,787 for 1995. Oil and gas sales increased 53.5% to
$987,155 in 1996 from $643,064 in 1995, resulting from the 22.7% increase of
equivalent barrel production of 62,029 in 1996 from 50,540 in 1995. This
increase in oil and gas sales was also boosted by a 25.1% increase in price per
equivalent barrel of $15.91 in 1996 versus $12.72 in 1995. Interest and other
income decreased 33.5% to $106,176 in 1996 compared to $159,723 in 1995. The
Company's continuing plan to focus its efforts on the exploitation of the
Company's minerals as well as accelerate and enhance its acquistion efforts
reduced the investment balances available to be placed in interest-bearing
accounts.
Total costs and expenses decreased 21.7% to $973,462 in the first half
of 1996 compared to $1,243,263 for the first half of 1995. Lease operating
expenses increased $56,534 or 34.9% to $218,468 in 1996 compared to $161,934 in
1995. This increase is a result of adding the two successful development wells
on the mineral acreage and the acquisitions made in the second half of 1995.
Reflecting the Company's plan to accelerate its acquisition efforts and its
election not to participate in certain drilling ventures on its minerals, the
Company reduced expenses for dry holes and abandonments by $86,187 to $89,191
in 1996 compared to $175,378 in 1995. Depreciation, depletion and amortization
expenses and geological and geophysical expenses, individually and
collectively, remained essentially unchanged from a year ago. General and
administrative expenses decreased $240,119 or 35.1% to $443,789 in 1996
compared to $683,908 in 1995. This decrease is primarily attributed to the
Company not having to defend itself against a competing slate of directors as
it did in 1995.
The Company recognized net income of $329,970, or $0.06 per share in
1996 compared to a net loss of $440,476, or $0.08 per share for the same period
in 1995. Net income for the first of 1996 includes a $375,551 gain from the
sale of marketable securities compared to none for the same period in 1995.
Net income from operations after federal income taxes, excluding the gain from
the sale of marketable securities was $79,114 or $0.02 per share.
