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, 2000,
increased $6,000 or 2.9% as compared to the nine months ended July 31,
1999. This is primarily the result of an increase in gas volume transmitted.
Net Oil and Gas Royalties - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2000,
increased $105,000 or 88.2% as compared to the nine months ended July 31,
1999. The increase is due to the increase in oil and gas prices.
Farm Produce Sales - Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 decreased
$52,000 or 42.2% as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1999. This
decline was due to a reduction in government farm production payments
received.
Operating Expenses - Expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2000,
increased $56,000 or 24.4% as compared to the nine months ended July 31,
1999. The increase in expenses is attributable to pipeline operations.
Administrative and General Expenses - Expenses for the nine months ended July
31, 2000, increased $50,000 or 25.3%. This increase is the result of
increased amounts paid for various administrative services.
Depreciation and Amortization - Expenses for the nine months ended July 31,
2000, increased $7,000 or 8.2% as compared to the nine months ended July
31, 1999. The increase is attributable to additions to the Company's
property and equipment.
Equity in loss of 50% owned affiliate - The Company recorded a loss of $63,000
attributable to its guarantee of debt in Trinity Valley Pecan Co. ("Trinity")
The cumulative losses equal the Company's total outlay in Trinity including
projected repayment of loan guarantees.
Provision for Income Taxes - Provision (benefit) for income taxes for the nine
months ended July 31, 2000 increased $2,000 as compared to the nine months
ended July 31, 1999. The increase is attributable to a decrease in taxable
income before provision for income taxes excluding equity in loss of 50%
owned affiliate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had negative cash flow of $53,000 in operating activities for the
nine months ended July 31, 2000 as compared to the positive cash flow of
$103,000 from operating activities for the nine months ended July 31, 1999.
The Company has guaranteed loans of Trinity Valley Pecan Company in the amount
of $938,000. In addition to collateral consisting of 1,554 acres of land, the
loans were also guaranteed by the J.R. Parten Ranch Trust which owns 50% of
Trinity Valley Pecan Company. The Company anticipates that it is probable that
It will pay 50% of the current portion of the guaranteed debt of Trinity
totaling $148,000.
