                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (unaudited)
    
1.   The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion
     of management, the interim data includes all adjustments,
     consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
     fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  The
     financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
     Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals have
     been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures
     included herein are adequate to make the information presented
     not misleading.

     The organization and business of the Company, accounting
     policies followed by the Company and other information are
     contained in the notes to the Company's financial statements
     filed as part of the Company's December 31, 1994 Form 10-KSB.
     This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such
     annual report.

2.   As previously reported in 1992, the Company was named a
     defendant in an action styled Kenneth Eugene Hahn, et al. v.
     Love Process Engineering, Inc., et al (Case Number SM074020)

                   HALLADOR PETROLEUM COMPANY

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  

     During second quarter 1995, the Company reached an agreement to
extend the debt with its majority shareholder, the Robert C. Hardie
family, and certain other investors in the original bridge loan from
December 16, 1994 to December 31, 1997.  The notes, bearing 6%
interest per annum, are collateralized (second to TCW, see below) by
the Company's interest in its California property.  The notes are
convertible into company common stock at a price of $.15 per share,
which approximated fair market value at the time of the agreement. 
Interest is payable, at the option of the Company, either in cash or
common stock using a fixed price of $.15 per share.  Warrants
previously issued in conjunction with the notes to purchase 5,000,000
shares of common stock were extended to September 30, 1998.  The
exercise price of the warrants was lowered to $.20 from $.25. 
Approximately 35,667,000 new common shares would be issued assuming
total conversion of the bridge loan plus interest through November
13, 1995.  See proposed recapitalization.

     PROPOSED RECAPITALIZATION
     -------------------------

     On November 2, 1995, the Company announced an agreement in
principal to sell approximately $2.9 million of its common stock at
ten cents per share to an investor group including Dillon, Read &
Co., Inc.  As part of this transaction, scheduled to close during
early January 1996, current holders of the Company's convertible notes
and warrants have agreed to convert their notes and cancel their
warrants in the amount of approximately $5,350,000 for approximately
35,667,000 shares of common stock.  At the conclusion of the
transaction, the Company will increase its cash position by
approximately $2.9 million and will have no notes, warrants or
recourse debt outstanding.  Present holders of the Company's common
stock will own approximately 60% of the Company and the Dillon, Read
group will own approximately 40%.  The Company's float will be
approximately 5%.

     Members of the Robert C. Hardie family of Sacramento, California
will continue to own the majority of the common stock of the Company. 
As a result of the recapitalization, the board will be expanded to
include Mr. Bryan Lawrence of Dillon, Read and Mr. Cortlandt Dietler,
a private investor in Denver.

                                 9



     With the additional funds from the proposed recapitalization,
the Company plans to engage in the trading and acquisition of non-
producing oil and gas mineral leases and fee-simple minerals in
addition to its oil and gas exploration and production activities. 
Management plans to increase the Company's reserves and cash flows
through "drill bit" carried interests as opposed to acquisitions of
producing properties.

      Management is planning to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock
split sometime during the first half of 1996.

     TCW DEBT
     --------

     The South Cuyama Field (the "Field"), the Company's primary
asset which accounts for over 94% of the Company's revenue
and reserves, is pledged by non-recourse debt to Trust Company of the
West (TCW).  The Company owns 92% of Santa Barbara Partners (SBP), an
Oklahoma general partnership, which in turn owns an 84% working
interest (69% net revenue interest) in the Field subject to an 18%
net profits interest.  Eighty-five percent of SBP's cash flow from
the property is used to service the TCW debt.  Interest at 9% on the
TCW debt is paid monthly.  The other 15% of SBP's cash flow from the
Field is distributed monthly to SBP's partners.  

PROPERTIES SOLD IN JULY

     In July the Company sold its interest in certain non-operated
Texas properties for $354,000.  Lease operating expenses (LOE) for
each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were
approximately $60,000 and $77,000, respectively.  LOE for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1994 was approximately $26,000. 
Sales data are set forth in the following tables:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     YEAR-TO-DATE COMPARISON
     -----------------------

     Revenue decreased slightly due primarily to declining gas
production and prices offset by higher prices for oil and NGLs.  As
reported in the Company's 1994 Form 10-KSB, gas reserves were reduced
by approximately 40%.  Since current gas production is less than
expected, during the second quarter of 1995 management decided to
further reduce the gas reserves by 20%.  This second reduction
equates to 716 MMCF net to the Company.  Average product prices and
volumes are set forth in the following table:

                         1995                         1994          
               Sales Volume Average Price Sales Volume Average Price
               ------------ ------------- ------------ -------------

Oil - barrels    169,220       $16.06       177,383       $14.00
Gas - MCF        262,155         1.40       413,469         1.80
NGLs- barrels     33,177        10.95        38,026         9.10

     LOE increased due to fractionation costs of approximately
$168,000 for five wells during the first half of 1995; there were no
such costs in 1994. As a result of a brush fire in the third quarter
of 1994, the Company incurred costs of $76,000.  The Company accounts
for fractionation costs similar to well workover expense as opposed
to capitalizing such costs.

     General and administrative expenses decreased due to a reduction
in compensation costs as a result of the resignation of the Company's
Chief Operating Officer in 1994 and such position has since been
eliminated.

     QUARTER-TO-DATE COMPARISON
     --------------------------

     Revenue decreased slightly because of the July 1995 property
sale and for the reasons discussed above (except oil prices remained
about the same).  The table below provides sales data and average
prices for the two periods.

                         1995                         1994          
               Sales Volume Average Price Sales Volume Average Price
               ------------ ------------- ------------ -------------

Oil - barrels      54,230      $15.54        58,309       $15.58
Gas - MCF          68,945        1.28       122,200         1.53
NGLs- barrels      10,897        9.65        12,768         8.27

     LOE decreased because of non-recurring costs associated with the
late July 1994 brush fire.


                                11


OUTLOOK FOR REMAINDER OF 1995

     FRACTIONATION PROJECT 
     ---------------------

     The Company initiated a study to fractionate(frac) certain wells
in the Field as reported in the 1994 Form 10-KSB.  Through September
30, 1995 five wells have been fractionated.  Although the results
from the first frac job were encouraging; the results from the
additional four frac jobs were unsuccessful.  The Company continues
to evaluate frac opportunities in the Field and on November 8, 1995,
an additional well was fracted; the results from this latest
endeavor will not be known until early December 1995.

     HEDGING
     -------

     The Company continues to evaluate hedging strategies for its oil
production.  There are several strategies available that may be
implemented when the price of oil, as reflected in the futures
market, is higher.  As of November 10, 1995, the Company is receiving
$15.25 per barrel for its California production as compared to an
average price of $15.54 during the third quarter of 1995.

     Currently, the Company is receiving approximately $1.40/MCF for
its California gas production which is more than the average price
received of $1.32 during the third quarter 1995.  

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     -------------------------------

     Cash from operations is expected to enable the Company to meet
its obligations as they become due through the next 12 months.

     FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ----------------------------

     Assuming stable production and prices, a small loss is expected
for the fourth quarter.

     STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
     ------------------------------------------------------------

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  The Company will have to implement
SFAS No. 121 by the quarterly period ending March 31, 1996.  The
provisions will require the Company to review long-lived assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If it is
determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected
future cash flows, then the loss should be recognized in the income
statement and certain disclosures regarding the impairment should be
made in the financial statements.  Because the Company uses the full
cost method of accounting, the provisions of SFAS No. 121 are not
expected to apply.
