Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1)The Condensed Balance Sheet as of November 30, 1998 the Condensed
Statements of Operations for the six months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 and
the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended November 30,
1998 and 1997, 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 the Registrant as of November 30, 1998, the
results of operations for the six months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 and
its cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 1998 and 1997.
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, 1998 Form
10-KSB.
3)The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 1998 and 1997
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 continued to decrease, as amounts due to
Registrant's parent, U.S. Energy Corp. ("USE") continued to be accrued for
office and administrative costs. The $9,500 decrease in working capital during
the six months ended November 30, 1998 left a working capital deficit of $37,700
at November 30, 1998.
The Registrant anticipates that it will be able to meet its administrative
capital requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31, 1999, as USECB
Joint Venture, the Registrant's affiliate, has not made demand on debts due it
in the amount of $62,000. However, the Registrant must secure drilling or
construction contracts, or negotiate a way to retire debt to its directors and
USECB in order to continue operating long-term.
Results of Operations
The Registrant had no revenues from operations during the most recently
completed six months or the corresponding six months of the prior year. The
Registrant did however recognize $800 and $400 in interest revenue for the six
months ended November 30, 1998 and November 30, 1997.
General and administrative costs increased during the six months ended
November 30, 1998 from the same period of the previous year by $5,100. This
increase was primarily in professional services. The Registrant recorded its
audit fees in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 where as it recorded only part of
its audit fees for fiscal 1998 in the second quarter ended November 30, 1997.
The Registrant's operations consist primarily of administrative activities
associated with the preparation of various reports and documents as required by
law.
