accounting principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In
the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto included in the Registrant's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-KSB.

     2.  The consolidated financial statements included herein are
consolidated with the accounts of Petrolind Drilling Funds, Inc. and Realco,
Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant, neither of which was
active during 1995 or 1994.

     3.  Net income per share of common stock is computed on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the nine months ended September
30.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding was determined by
totaling the number of shares outstanding at the end of each month and
dividing that total by the number of months.

     4.  The expected tax benefit resulting from operating losses for the
first nine months of 1996 has not been recorded because it is not expected to
be realizable.  Additionally, there were no significant changes in the
temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 1996.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Oil and gas sales revenues increased approximately 19.8% in the third 
quarter of 1996, compared to the third quarter of 1995, the result being an 
approximate 30% increase in oil prices.  The Company's net loss decreased to 
$37,450, or ($.02) per share, compared to a net loss of $55,602, or ($.04) per 
share in the 1995 period.  Revenues increased by 19.6%, but were offset by an 
increase in expenses by approximately 8.0% to $283,912 compared to $262,951 in 
the first nine months of 1995.

     The Company sustained an operating loss of $34,405 in the third quarter 
of 1996, compared to an operating loss of $54,206 in the third quarter of 
1995.  For the nine month period ending September 30, 1996, the Company's net 
loss decreased approximately 22.3% to $94,491 from the $121,528 net loss in 
the prior year's period.  Operating losses in the 1996 period decreased 
approximately 13.1% compared to the 1995 period.

     Oil prices averaged $20.69 per barrel ($20.57 including the barrel 
equivalent of gas) during the third quarter of 1996, compared to an average of 
$15.92 per barrel in the 1995 period ($15.82 including the barrel equivalent 
of gas).  For the nine month period, oil prices averaged $19.57 per barrel in 
1996 ($19.45 including the barrel equivalent of gas) compared to $16.71 
($16.61 including the barrel equivalent of gas) in 1995.

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1996, of 
$231,406 compared to $170,012 at the end of the 1995 fiscal year.  Management 
estimates that it owes $269,268 from the settlement of the Horne Lease dispute 
with Oryx to owners of other interests in the Horne Lease.

     In September, 1996, Joseph M. Rodano, President and Treasurer of Petrol 
Industries, Inc., as well as a member of its Board of Directors, purchased a 
total of 2,000 Shares Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of Petrol 
Industries, Inc.  The purchase was made in an open market transaction, and all 
of the shares purchased by Mr. Rodano were purchased with his personal funds.  
As of September 30, 1996, Mr. Rodano owns an aggregate of 411,825 Shares, 
comprising approximately 26% of the outstanding shares.
