In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2000, the results of operations for the six and three months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 and its cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999. 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 Company's May 31, 2000 Form 10-KSB. 3) The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital decreased as amounts due to Company's parent, U.S. Energy Corp. ("USE"), continued to be accrued for office and administrative costs. The $6,700 decrease in working capital during the six months ended November 30, 2000 resulted in working capital of $21,300 as compared to working capital of $28,000 at May 31, 2000. The Company anticipates that it will be able to meet its capital requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31, 2001. However, the Company must secure drilling or construction contracts in order to continue operating long-term. Results of Operations The Company had no revenues from operations during the most recently completed six months ended November 30, 2000 or the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The Company did however recognize $800 in interest revenue for each of the six month periods ended November 30, 2000 and November 30, 1999 on cash invested in interest bearing accounts. General and administrative costs decreased during the six months ended November 30, 2000 from the same period of the previous year by $5,600. The decrease is primarily from the Company not preparing proxy statements during the current fiscal year. The Company's operations resulted in a loss of $6,700 as compared to a loss of $12,300 for the same six months of the previous year. The Company's operations consist primarily of administrative activities associated with the preparation of various reports and documents as required by law. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
