(b) No reports on Form 8-K were filed during this quarter
303(b) 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
(a) ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Heavy startup and operating costs at the Snow King Resort
Center have created a heavy drain on Snow King Resort's
cash flow. At times Snow King Resort has not had
sufficient cash flow to pay its creditors in a timely
manner. Principal and interest payments on loans are
current.
On April 15, 1996, Snow King Resort, Inc. refinanced its
loan with ORIX USA at a fixed interest rate of 10 1/8% for
five years. Part of the proceeds were used to pay other
debt. The amount of the new loan was $6,150,000.
Western Standard Corporation, the parent company, will
have sufficient funds to cover its expenses during 1998
from cash reserves, oil and gas royalties, interest, and
accounts receivable.
(c) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net loss for the first six months of 1998 amounted to
$417,261, compared to a loss for the first six months
of 1997 in the amount of $662,665.
Profits and losses for the first six months of 1998 and
1997 came from:

Snow King Resort, Inc. ( 411,946) ( 705,230)
Western Recreation Corporation ( 25) ( 19)
($ 417,261) ($ 662,665)
During the first six months of 1998, total sales were down
and operating expenses increased. Hotel bookings at Snow
King Resort, Inc. appear to be very good for this summer.
