NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial 
statements have been prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles 
for interim financial information and with 
the instructions to form 10-QSB and Article 10 
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not 
include all of the information and footnotes 
required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  
In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals 
and recognition of equity in the results of 
operations of affiliates) considered necessary 
for a fair presentation have been included.  
Operating results for the six month period 
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected 
for the year ended December 31, 1998.  For 
further information, refer to the financial 
statements and footnotes thereto included in 
the Company's annual report for the period 
March 12, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 
1997.


NOTE 2   COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share is computed for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and for the period 
March 12, 1997 to June 30, 1997 using the 
weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding during the period (8,579,842 and 
4,635,130 respectively) determined pursuant 
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
(SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share."  This 
Statement requires a dual presentation and 
reconciliation of "basic" and "diluted" per share 
amounts.  Diluted reflects the potential 
dilution of all common stock equivalents.  
Since the assumed exercise of common stock 
options would be antidilutive for all periods 
presented, such exercise is not assumed for 
purposes of determining diluted loss per share.  
Accordingly, diluted and basic per share amounts 
are equal.

ITEM 2  PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The Company seeks to maximize stock price and 
shareholder value through exploration in lower 
risk shale natural gas plays and through the 
acquisition of properties with proven production 
and positive cash flow.  The Company's short 
term goal (the next 12 months) is to acquire or 
to find through exploration and bring on line 
enough production and positive cash flows to 
cover its general and administrative expenses.  
The Company's long term goals include continued 
building of reserves and cash flows from production 
to allow for further development of existing 
properties, and mortgaging proved developed 
reserves to finance continued exploration and 
growth in value through development of untapped 
Antrim Shale, New Albany Shale or other formations.

The Company should be able to meet its cash 
requirements for the rest of the 1998 calendar 
year.  It will be necessary to raise additional 
funds for operations into 1999.  These funds 
can be raised in part by selling the Company's 
common stock through a private placement and, 
in part, by the sale of undeveloped or 
incomplete oil and gas properties and projects.  
The Company is also attempting to obtain 
recourse financing for the acquisition of 
productive properties capable of adding positive 
cash flows after servicing the related debts.

The Company anticipates no change in the 
number of employees.
