SEVEN J STOCK FARM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited and include the accounts of Seven J Stock Farm, Inc. (the "Company")
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Madison Pipe Line Company.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and
related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and
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 1997 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 April 30, 1998 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended April 30,
1998 and 1997. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.
The results of operations for the periods ending April 30, 1998 and 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Interim results are subject to year-end adjustments and audit by independent
public accountants.
Certain items and amounts have been reclassified. The reclassifications
have no effect on net income.

31.8%, which is the Company's current estimate of the effective tax rate for
the entire year. The reported tax rate in the corresponding period of the
previous year was 33.3%. The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended
October 31, 1997 was 22.1%.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Pipeline Operations - Revenue for the six months ended April 30, 1998
increased $58,000 or 66.7% as compared to the six months ended April 30, 1997.
The increased profitability is attributable to selling raw gas rather than
processing the gas through a gas plant.
Net Oil & Gas Royalties - Revenue for the six months ended April 30, 1998
increased $6,000 or 5.3% as compared to the six months ended April 30, 1997.
The increase is primarily due to increased volumes produced on the Company's
land.
Operating Expenses - Expenses for the six months ended April 30, 1998
increased $61,000 or 135.6% as compared to the six months ended April 30,
1997. The increase in pipeline operating expenses is attributable to expenses
of the new jointly owned compression and dehydration facility.
Depreciation - Depreciation for the six months ended April 30, 1998
increased $6,000 or 13.9% as compared to the six months ended April 30, 1997.
The increase is attributable to additions of property and equipment.
Provision for Income Taxes - Provision for income taxes for the six months
ended April 30, 1998 decreased $2,000 as compared to the six months ended
April 30, 1997. This is due to the decrease in income before provision for
income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated $181,000 of cash flows from operating activities for
the six months ended April 30, 1998 which is a decrease of $23,000 or 11.3% as
compared to April 30, 1997. This decrease is primarily the result of drilling
new water wells on company lands. The Company anticipates that adequate
working capital will continue to be provided from future operations. On
March 17, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $.04 per share
dividend to be paid during the Company's third quarter.
