            Notes to Condensed Financial Statements


      1)    The  Condensed  Balance Sheet as  of  February  29,  1996,
the  Condensed  Statements  of Operations for  the  three  months  and
nine  months  ended  February  29, 1996 and  February  28,  1995,  and
the  Condensed  Statements of Cash Flows for  the  nine  months  ended
February  29,  1996  and  February 28, 1995,  have  been  prepared  by
the  Registrant  without  audit.  In the opinion  of  the  Registrant,
the   accompanying  financial  statements  contain   all   adjustments
(consisting   of   only  normal  recurring  accruals)   necessary   to
fairly   present   the  financial  position  of   Registrant   as   of
February  29,  1996  the results of operations for  the  three  months
and  nine  months  ended  February 29, 1996  and  February  28,  1995,
and the cash flows for the nine months then ended.

      2)    Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally
included   in   financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance   with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have  been  condensed  or
omitted.   It  is  suggested that these financial statements  be  read
in conjunction with the Registrant's May 31, 1995 Form 10-KSB.

      3)    The   results  of  operations  for  the  periods   ended
February   29,  1996  and  February  28,  1995  are  not   necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Item 2.   Management's   Discussion   and   Analysis   of    Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Registrant's  working capital decreased  by  $9,000  during
the  nine  months  ended  February  29,  1996  resulting  in  negative
working  capital  of  $2,900 at the end of the  period.  The  decrease
in  working  capital  is primarily a result of a  $9,600  increase  in
accounts    payable   to   affiliates   for   various   general    and
administrative   expenses,   which  was   partially   offset   by   an
increase  of  $900  in  cash as a result of  interest  earned  on  the
Registrant's  funds  held  in  interest bearing  accounts.   Cash  was
reduced  by  $300  as  various governmental  filing  fees  were  paid,
for a net increase of cash of $600.

      The  Registrant  anticipates that it will be able  to  meet  its
capital  requirements for the remainder of the  year  ending  May  31,
1996.     However,   the   Registrant   must   secure   drilling    or
construction  contracts, or negotiate a way  to  retire  debt  to  its
directors  and  parent  company in order to continue  operating  long-
term.






                                  6


Results of Operations

      The  Registrant  had  no  revenues from  operations  during  the
three  months  or  the nine months ended February  29,  1996,  or  the
corresponding  periods  of  the  prior  year.   The  Registrant   did,
however,   record  $900  and  $700  in  interest  revenue  earned   on
monies   held  in  interest  bearing  accounts  in  the   nine   month
periods   ended   February   29,   1996   and   February   28,   1995,
respectively  ($300  and  $200,  respectively,  in  interest   revenue
for  each  of  the  three month periods ended February  29,  1996  and
February 28, 1995).

      General  and  administrative costs  increased  by  $100,  during
the  nine  months  ended February 29, 1996 from  the  same  period  of
the  previous  year.  There was a decrease of $2,300  in  general  and
administrative  expenses  during  the  three  months  ended   February
29,  1996  as  compared  to  the same three  months  of  the  previous
year.   This  reduction  is  due to the  reversal  of  an  accrual  of
professional  services  in  an earlier  quarter  of  the  nine  months
ended February 29, 1996.

      The    Registrant's    operations   consist    primarily    of
administrative   activities  associated  with   the   preparation   of
various reports and documents as required by law.
