NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and of cash flow.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common stock and common stock outstanding for the periods reported.

3.  RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIODS

In February of 1996 the Company disposed of its operations in Azerbaijan. Such
operations were sold to Titan Resources Inc. (Titan) for $500,000 and 1,500,000
shares of Titan stock valued at $900,000. This resulted in a gain of $1,400,000
on the discontinued operations as the Company had previously written off all
assets associated with this operation.  Operating results applicable to
Azerbaijan for the nine and three months ended May 31, 1995 are classified as
discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

Depreciation expense for the nine months and the three months ended May 31,

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital was $6,500,509 on May 31, 1996 as compared to
$405,415 on August 31, 1995.  The major source of the increase was the April
26, 1996 issuance of the eight percent (8%) Convertible Debenture which
provided $9,855,000 as discussed in Note 4 to the accompanying financial
statements.  Additionally, in December 1995, 1,500,000 shares of restricted
common stock with warrants were sold, with resulting net proceeds of $912,000.
During the second quarter of 1996,  warrants to purchase 500,000 shares at
$1.00 per share and 500,000 shares at $2.00 per share were exercised for a
total consideration of $1,500,000.

During the period, the Company completed the acquisitions discussed in Note 3,
which utilized cash of $1,600,000 and purchased property and equipment in
consideration for cash of $3,800,000.

The Company's ability to satisfy its cash requirements is evaluated by
analyzing key measures of liquidity applicable to the Company.  The following
table is a summary of the measures which are significant to management.
