Management's Discussion

Operating revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 were $2,113,780 or
129% more than the quarter ending September 30, 1996 and $630,451 or 14%
less than the quarter ending June 30, 1996.

Degree days for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 were 1,004 or 1,731% more
than the quarter ending September 30, 1996 and 73 or 7% more than the
quarter ending June 30, 1996.  Since much of the Company's sales are
dependent on weather conditions, the effects of the changes in degree days
are reflected in the total MCF (thousand cubic feet) deliveries.

			      Actual MCF         From Quarter Ending
			       Deliveries	                 06/30/97

Quarter Ending 06/30/97     1,490,737
Quarter Ending 09/30/96        876,534	  	(614,203)
Quarter Ending 06/30/96     1,545,045		   54,308

MCF deliveries include transportation of customer owned gas for specific end
use customers for which the Company receives a fee equal to its normal markup
for transporting the gas.

Operating expenses, made up largely of the cost of purchased gas were
$2,183,583 or 153% more than the quarter ending September 30, 1996 and
$548,860 or 13% less than the quarter ending June 30, 1996.

Net Income was $251,951 more than the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and
$84,515 less than the quarter ending June 30, 1996.

Since the Company's business is seasonal by quarters, results for the first
nine months of fiscal year 1997 should not be used as an indication of what
results for the full twelve months of fiscal year 1997 may be.

In September 1995 the Company purchased the assets of a local gas distribution
system, Finger Lakes Gas Company, through the Federal Bankruptcy Court. 
Finger Lakes Gas served customers in the Hammondsport, NY area and had a
customer base of approximately 320 customers.  The Company was able to
purchase this all plastic system with a bid of $560,000.  The Company was
pleased to purchase these assets that originally cost over $1.5 million to
construct for its relatively low bid. The capital to purchase these assets
was obtained through short term debt.  The Company has not found it
necessary to apply for an increase in rates on this part of our system
which means the original rates made effective in 1990 remain in effect
six years later.

	Shortly after the Company took possession of the system, Mercury Aircraft,
Inc. announced it would purchase the former Taylor Wine Company facilities
and centralize their other plants.  The reopening of this major facility
will most certainly contribute toward the stability and future viability of
the new gas system which is now part of the Company.  The former
Finger Lakes Gas Company's operations, did not have significant impact on
1995, but contributed in excess of $150,000 to gross margin (revenues
less gas cost) for the period ended September 30, 1996.

In December, 1994 the New York Public Service Commission instituted
a proceeding to address issues related to the emerging competitive natural
gas market.  This proceeding was intended to provide a framework whereby
access to facilities on upstream pipelines made available by FERC Order 636
would be available to end use customers on the Local Distribution Company
level.  New tariff filings were approved and became effective September 1,
1996.  The Company considers this a transitional step towards full unbundling
of services with future changes made as circumstances warrant.

The Company received approval for a rate increase form the New York State
Public Service Commission of approximately $124,000 in revenues with an
effective date of September 1, 1996.

Internal generation of funds should be sufficient to meet the needs of the
Company coupled with some intermittent short-term borrowings.

There has been no change in independent public accountants.  The Company
has not filed any reports on Form 8-K for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

The information furnished herewith reflects all adjustments which are in the
opinion of management necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
period.  Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules
and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which are
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed 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-KSB.

The statements contained herein have not been examined or certified by a
firm of certified public accountants.

There were no sales of unregistered securities (debt or equity) during the
fiscal quarter ending June 30, 1997.
