outstanding 90 shares of common stock of Forman Energy Corporation, a New York

located in the United States.   Funding for the acquistion has been provided by
NationsBank of Texas through a revolving line of credit in the amount of
$1,750,000 collateralized by a deed of trust covering substantially all of the
Registrants properties and pledge of the stock of Forman Energy Corporation.

     (b) Assets of the acquired company include partial interests in lease and
well equipment associated with various working interests in producing oil and
gas properties.  These assets will continue to be used in the same manner.
