GNC ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

     1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of September 30, 1999.  We are continuing to
work with our creditors to attempt to achieve a plan of reorganization
without bankruptcy.

     2.  The results of operations for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
1999.




MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATION

     Oil and Gas Operations - Oil and gas sales for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999, were minimal.

     Income Taxes - No tax provisions were made for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, since the Company has unused deductions and
tax credits for financial statement purposes.
