             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
INTERIM REPORTING
 
  The interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Due to the seasonal nature of
the business, the results of operations for the six months ended January 31,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended July 31, 1997. For further information refer to the
consolidated fianancial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1996.
 
RECLASSIFICATION
 
  Certain amounts in the January 1996 consolidated condensed financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the January 1997
presentation.
 
ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 121
 
  Effective August 1, 1996, the Company adopted 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, which requires
impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to
recover the assets carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by
comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. Fair values are
based on discounted future cash flows or information provided by sales and
purchases of similar assets. Under SFAS No. 121. the Company now evaluates
impairment of production assets on a well by well basis rather than using a
total company basis for its proved properties. As a result, the Company
recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of $1.4 million in the three months ended
October 31, 1996. Such a loss is included in depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense.
 
RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR
 
  Effective March 31, 1995 the Company acquired Germany Oil Company
("Germany") in a purchase transaction. The net assets acquired consisted
primarily of oil and gas properties. In connection with the transaction the
Company failed to allocate the purchase price to all assets acquired as
required by generally accepted accounting principles. During fiscal 1996 the
Company, based on the reports of independent petroleum engineers, reallocated
the adjusted purchase price as of the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the
previously reported 1995 amounts have been restated as follows:
