Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial

   Condition and Results of Operations.
   ------------------------------------

General
- -------
This discussion and analysis covers variations in the balance sheets 
December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1997, and in the statements of operations 
and changes in cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 
and 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As a result of the sale of all the Corporation's oil and gas properties, 
working capital at March 31, 1997 was $846,871 compared to the $346 at 
December 31, 1996.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Corporation sold all of its operating oil and gas properties effective 
December 31, 1996 and ceased operations.  Costs incurred in the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 resulted mostly from administrative costs 
incurred in the closing of operations.
