Note 1.  Presentation of Interim Information

In the opinion of the management of Houston Operating Company, Inc., the
accompanying unaudited financial statements include all normal adjustments
considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30,
2003, and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS PRELIMINARY
        NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Plan of Operation of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which could cause the actual results of the Company (sometimes
referred to as "we", "us" or the "Company"), performance (financial or
operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements not to occur or be realized. Such forward-looking statements
generally are based upon the Company's best estimates of future results, general
merger and acquisition activity in the marketplace, performance or achievement,
based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "expect," "believe," "estimate,"
"anticipate," "intends," "continue", "potential," "opportunity" or similar
terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms or other
variations of those terms or comparable words or expressions. (See the Company's
Form 10SB for a description of certain of the known risks and uncertainties of
the Company.)

RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE
30, 2003 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2002.

The Company had no revenues or operations for the six month period in 2003 or
2002. The Company incurred $13,126 in miscellaneous expenses in the period in
2003 and no expenses in the period in 2002. The net loss for the six month
period was ($13,126) in 2003 and $0 in 2002. Loss per share was nominal in 2002
and none in 2002 for the period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs,
including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will have to seek loans or
equity placements to cover such cash needs. In the event the Company is able to
complete a business combination during this period, lack of its existing capital
may be a sufficient impediment to prevent it from accomplishing the goal of
completing a business combination. There is no assurance, however, that without
funds it will ultimately allow registrant to complete a business combination.
Once a business combination is completed, the Company's needs for additional
financing are likely to increase substantially.

Irrespective of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet
the Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers
of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company has disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14
and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to ensure that
material information contained in its filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely and
accurate basis. Based on such evaluation, the Company's principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at ensuring that material
information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely and
accurate basis in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Since such evaluation there have not been any significant changes in
the Company's internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls
