footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the Company's financial position as of July 31, 1997 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended July 31,

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Pipeline Operations - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1997
increased $48,000 or 43.6% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1996.
The Company entered into an agreement effective December 1, 1996 to jointly
operate their gas gathering system with a related party's gas gathering
system. A joint central compression and dehydration facility has been built.
The income, costs and expenses are shared equally. The nature of the
operations of the joint venture including the products have the effect of
increasing prices.
Net Oil and Gas Royalties - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1997
increased $99,000 or 130.3% as compared to the nine months ended July 31,
1996. The increase is primarily due to a new well drilled on the Company's
land.
Operating expenses - Expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1997
increased $38,000 or 70.4% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1996.
An increase in pipeline operating expense was offset by a decrease in ranch
maintenance expense. The increase in pipeline operating expenses is
attributable to expenses of the new jointly owned compression and dehydration
facility.
Administrative and General Expenses - Expenses for the nine months ended
July 31, 1997 increased $14,000 or 10.9% as compared to the nine months ended
July 31, 1996. Ranch administrative expense increased as the result of an
increase in allocated salaries from related parties.
Depreciation Expense - Depreciation for the nine months ended July 31, 1997
increased $9,000 or 15.8% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1996.
The increase is attributable to additions in property and equipment.
Other (Income) - Net - Other (Income) - Net for the nine months ended
July 31, 1997 increased $7,000 or 33.3% as compared to the nine months ended
July 31, 1996. Other (Income) - Net primarily increased due to income earned
from services performed by ranch personnel.
Provision for Income Taxes - Provision for income taxes for the nine months
ended July 31, 1997 substantially increased as compared to the nine months
ended July 31, 1996. This is due to the increase in income before provision
for income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated $296,000 of cash flows from operating activities for
the nine months ended July 31, 1997 as compared to using $75,000 of net cash
flow from operating activities for the nine months ended July 31, 1996. The
Company has expended $88,000 representing its 50% share of the construction
cost of a jointly owned compression and dehydration facility. The Company
anticipates that adequate working capital will continue to be provided from
future operations. During the third quarter, the Company paid dividends of
$.04 a share to its shareholders.
