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 July 31, 1998 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended July 31,
1998 and 1997. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.

SEVEN J STOCK FARM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
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, 1998
increased $59,000 or 37.3% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998.
The increased profitability is attributable to selling raw gas rather than
processing the gas through a gas plant.
Farm produce sales increased $110,000 or 1,375%. The increase is due to
receiving crop insurance proceeds during this quarter due to the extreme
drought conditions. The normal harvest is in the fall of the year.
Operating Expenses - Expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1998
increased $172,000 or 186.96% as compared to the nine months ended July 31,
1997. The increase in pipeline operating expenses is attributable to expenses
of the new jointly owned compression and dehydration facility.
Depreciation - Depreciation for the nine months ended July 31, 1998
increased $13,000 or 19.7% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1997.
The increase is attributable to additions of property and equipment.
Provision for Income Taxes - Provision for income taxes for the nine months
ended July 31, 1998 decreased $9,000 as compared to the nine months ended
July 31, 1997. This is due to an adjustment of the effective income tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated $205,000 of cash flows from operating activities for
the nine months ended July 31, 1998 which is a decrease of $91,000 or 30.7% as
compared to July 31, 1997. This decrease in cash flows is primarily due to
decreases in accounts receivable and accounts payable.
On July 16, 1998, Seven J Stock Farm, Inc invested $50,000 for a 50%
interest in Trinity Valley Pecan Co ("Trinity"), The other owner is the J. R.
Parten Ranch Trust. Trinity is in the process of constructing a pecan
shelling plant which will cost in excess of $550,000. Approximately two acres
of land are leased by the Company to Trinity for operations. In July, 1998,
Trinity entered into a loan agreement with First National Bank of Crockett,
Texas covering an obligation of $554,000. The interest rate is 9.95% with
maturity in 2005. Proceeds of the loan will be used for construction of the
pecan shelling plant. The company and the J. R. Parten Ranch Trust have
guaranteed the loan. It is anticipated that additional funds will be invested
in Trinity by the Company.
The Company anticipates that adequate working capital will continue to be
provided from future operations.
