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, 1999 decreased $11,000 or 5.1%
as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. This is primarily due
to a decrease in gas volume transported.
Net Oil and Gas Royalties:
Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 decreased $49,000 or 29.2%
as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. The decrease is due to
the decline in oil and gas prices.
Farm Produce Sales:
Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 increased $5,000 or 4.2%
as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. The increase is due to
the Company receiving during 1999 government farm production and subsidy
payments. The Company received crop insurance proceeds during 1998 for
crops destroyed by extreme crop conditions. Growing crops of corn and
cotton are expected to be harvested during October and November, 1999.
Operating Expenses:
Expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 increased $8,000 or 3.6%
as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. Farm operating expenses
for the period ended 1999 increased $17,000 as compared to the period ended
1998 because the 1998 crops were destroyed by drought. Pipeline operating
expenses for the period ended 1999 decreases $12,000 as compared to the
period ended 1998 because of the decrease in gas volume transported.
Administrative and General Expenses:
Expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 increased $51,000 or 34.7%
as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. This increase is
primarily the result of an increase in allocated salaries.
Depreciation and Amortization:
Expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 increased $6,000 or 7.6%
as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. The increase is
attributable to additions to the Company's property and equipment.
Equity in loss of 50% owned affiliate:
The Company's investment in Trinity Valley Pecan Company produced a loss of
$273,000. The loss was a result of pecans not being available due to bad
weather conditions and start-up production costs.
Interest Expense:
The Company borrowed monies from banks during the period ended 1999 to
finance its investment in Trinity Valley Pecan Company and its farming
operations on land previously farmed by an agricultural lessee.
Provision for Income Taxes:
Provision for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 1999 decreased
$34,000 as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1998. The decrease
is attributable to a decrease in income before provision for income taxes
excluding equity in loss of 50% owed affiliate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had net cash flow from operating activities of $103,000 for the
nine months ended July 31, 1999 as compared to the net cash flow from operating
activities of $248,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1998. During the
current period, the Company borrowed $125,000 for investment in Trinity Valley
Pecan Company, a 50% owned affiliate The Company had previously guaranteed a
loan of the affiliate in the amount of $514,000. During the quarter ended
July 31, 1999 the plant operations of Trinity Valley Pecan Company were shut
down. It is anticipated that Trinity Valley Pecan Company's pecan shelling
operations will commence during the last two weeks of September, 1999 and
continue through May, 1999. It is anticipated that revenue will be generated
from operations before the end of October, 1999. The Company anticipates that
adequate working capital will continue to be provided from future operations.
During the period, the Company borrowed $142,000 to finance the farming
operations on land previously leased to an agricultural lessee.
