Supplemental  Disclosure  of  Non-cash  Investing  and  Financing
Activities:
  For the six months ended June 30, 1997
     The  Company granted options to purchase 425,000  shares  of
     common stock under employment agreements with officers.  The
     officers exercised the options and gave notes of $55,000 and
     $80,000 to the Company for consideration.
     
     During 1996, the Company granted options for the purchase of
     60,000  shares of common stock to legal counsel for services
     to  be performed during 1997 in the amount of $25,000.   The
     cost of the services was accounted for as a prepaid asset at
     December, 1996.  During 1997, the prepaid asset was reversed
     and  the  legal  services were accounted for as  a  non-cash
     offering  expense which is offset against the proceeds  from
     the stock offering.

 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The  accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial
  statements  have  been  prepared in accordance  with  generally
  accepted    accounting   principles   for   interim   financial
  information.   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  of
  normal  recurring  accruals, considered necessary  for  a  fair
  presentation  have been included.  It is suggested  that  these
  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements  be  read
  in  conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
  included  in the December 31, 1996 audited financial statements
  for  Upland  Energy Corporation.  The result of operations  for
  the  periods  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are not  necessarily
  indicative of the operating results for the full year.
  
  The  condensed  consolidated financial statements  include  the
  accounts  of  Upland  Energy Corporation  ("Parent")  and  it's
  wholly-owned subsidiary GS&C, Inc. ("Subsidiary").
  
  Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In February 1997,  SFAS
  Nos.  128,  "Earnings  per  Share"  and  129,  "Disclosures  of
  Information  about Capital Structure" were  issued.   SFAS  No.
  128  changes  the  computation,  presentation,  and  disclosure
  requirements  of  earnings per share (EPS)  for  entities  with
  publicly  held common stock.  SFAS No. 129 addresses  standards
  for   disclosing   information  about   an   entity's   capital
  structure.   Although such statements are not  affective  until
  December  31,  1997, had such statements been adopted  for  the
  six  months  ended  June  30, 1997, the  effect  would  not  be
  significant.
  
NOTE 2 - NOTES RECEIVABLE
  
  During  January 1997, the president and the secretary/treasurer
  of  the  Company  exercised 425,000 options in connection  with
  their  employment agreements.  The two officers gave  notes  to
  the  Company in the amount of $55,000 and $80,000.  The Company
  has  accrued interest of $4,782 for the six months  ended  June
  30, 1997. [See Note 7]  The notes have been accounted for as  a
  reduction to stockholders' equity.

NOTE 4 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
  
  Upon  placing  oil and gas properties and productive  equipment
  in  use, the unit-of-production method, based upon estimates of
  proven  developed  and undeveloped reserves,  is  used  in  the
  computation  of  depreciation and depletion.   For  the  period
  ended  June  30,  1997 and year ended December  31,  1996,  the
  Company recorded depletion of $4,417 and $9,880, respectively.
  
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
  
  During  January 1997, the president and the secretary/treasurer
  of  the  Company  exercised 425,000 options in connection  with
  their  employment agreements.  The two officers gave  notes  to
  the  Company in the amount of $55,000 and $80,000.  The Company
  has  accrued interest of $4,782 for the six months  ended  June
  30, 1997. [See Note 7]
  
  During  1996  a  shareholder  and an  officer  of  the  Company
  advanced  the Company $3,600.  Of the $3,600 that was  advanced
  the  Company paid $3,000 during the year leaving a  balance  of
  $600.  The advances are non-interest bearing.
  
  During   December,  1995  the  Company  entered  into  a   loan
  agreement with an entity related to a shareholder and  director
  of  the  Company.  The unsecured loan consists of a short  term
  note  payable  for $10,000 with an interest  rate  of  12%  per
  annum.   The note provides for four monthly payments commencing
  January  25, 1996 and ending April 25, 1996.  The $10,000  plus
  interest was paid in full during 1996.
  
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

  The  Company  accounts  for  income taxes  in  accordance  with
  Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting
  for Income Taxes [FASB 109].  FASB 109 requires the Company  to
  provide  a  net deferred tax asset or liability  equal  to  the
  expected  future tax benefit or expense of temporary  reporting
  differences  between book and tax accounting and any  available
  operating loss or tax credit carryforwards.  At June 30,  1997,
  net  deferred  tax  assets,  before considering  the  valuation
  allowance, totaled approximately $210,000.  The amount  of  and
  ultimate  realization  of the benefits from  the  deferred  tax
  assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon  the
  tax  laws  then  in effect, the Company's future earnings,  and
  other  future events, the effects of which cannot presently  be
  determined.    Because  of  the  uncertainty  surrounding   the
  realization   of  the  loss  carryforwards  the   Company   has
  established  a  valuation allowance for all  net  deferred  tax
  assets.   Accordingly,  because of  recurring  losses  and  the
  valuation allowance, there is no provision for income taxes  in
  the  accompanying statements of operations.  The net change  in
  the  valuation allowance was approximately $35,000 for the  six
  months ended June 30, 1997.  The Company has available at  June
  30,  1997, unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately
  $1,200,000, which may be applied against future taxable  income
  and which expire in various years through 2011.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
  
  During  January  1997, the president of the  Company  exercised
  options  for a total of 275,000 shares of common stock at  $.20
  per  share.   The  options had previously been  granted  during
  1996  in  connection with an employment agreement.  The Company
  received  a  note receivable as consideration for the  exercise
  price  of  the options.  The $55,000 note provides for interest
  at   8.5%  per  annum.   The  note  also  provides  for  annual
  installments  of principal and interest through January,  2001.
  The  note  has  been classified as a reduction of stockholders'
  equity on the balance sheet.
  
  During  January  1997, the secretary/treasurer of  the  Company
  exercised  options  for  a total of 150,000  shares  of  common
  stock.   The  first 50,000 shares were exercised  at  $.20  per
  share  and the remaining 100,000 shares were exercised at  $.70
  per  share.   The  options had previously been  granted  during
  1996  in  connection with an employment agreement.  The Company
  received  a  note receivable as consideration for the  exercise
  price  of  the options.  The $80,000 note provides for interest
  at   8.5%  per  annum.   The  note  also  provides  for  annual
  installments  of principal and interest through January,  2001.
  The  note  has  been classified as a reduction to stockholders'
  equity on the balance sheet.
  
  During  February,  1997, the Company made an  offering  to  the
  holders  of  the Company's currently outstanding  common  stock
  purchase  warrants  who exercised their  existing  warrants  by
  February  21,  1997, to receive one half of a new common  stock
  purchase  warrant  for every existing warrant  exercised.   The
  offering  was exempt from registration with the Securities  and
  Exchange  Commission  under  Rule  506  of  Regulation   D   as
  promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.   The
  existing  warrants were exercisable into one  share  of  common
  stock  at  an  exercise price of $1.50  per  share.   Each  new
  warrant  is  exercisable into one share of common stock  at  an
  exercise  price  of $2.00 per share.  Of the  500,000  warrants
  exercised,  two  holders of the common stock purchase  warrants
  did  not exercise 50,000 warrants.  The Company received  total
  proceeds of $750,000 net of offering costs of $25,000.
  
  During August 1996, the Company issued 500,000 units, for  cash
  at  $.70 per unit, which consisted of one share of common stock
  and  one  common stock purchase warrant in a private  placement
  offering.   The  purchase warrant is to purchase another  share
  of  common stock at an exercise price of $1.50.  Total proceeds
  amounted  to  $350,000.  The Company issued  50,000  shares  of
  common stock for commissions of $35,000 in connection with  the
  private placement offering.
  
  During  November 1996 the Company's officers exercised  options
  of  50,000 shares of common stock previously granted for  $0.10
  per  share.  Total proceeds amounted to $5,000.  With  the  new
  employment  agreement the common stock reserved  in  May,  1995
  for  issuance  upon  exercise  of options  granted  to  certain
  officers of the Company under their employment agreements  were
  canceled.
  
  On  December  15,  1996  the Board of Directors  resolved  that
  100,000  shares of common stock be reserved for  issuance  upon
  exercise  of  options granted to four officers of the  Company.
  The  exercise price for the options is $2.00, vest on  December
  15, 1996 and expire on December 15, 2001.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS [Continued]
  
  On  December  16,  1996  the Board of Directors  resolved  that
  60,000  shares  of common stock be reserved for  issuance  upon
  exercise  of  options granted to legal counsel for services  to
  be  performed in the amount of $25,000.  The exercise price for
  the options is $2.00, vest on December 16, 1996, and expire  on
  December  16,  2001.   The  cost  of  the  services  has   been
  accounted for as an addition to prepaid expenses and  a  charge
  to  additional  paid-in capital.  The prepaid expense  reversed
  during  1997 and was offset against additional paid-in  capital
  as a stock offering expense.
  
  Stock  Options  -  The Company applies APB  Option  No.  25  in
  accounting   for  its  options  granted  under  the  employment
  agreements.  Compensation of   $0 and $210,100 was recorded  as
  of  June  30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.  The Corporation  has
  adopted   the   disclosure-only  provisions  of  Statement   of
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for  Stock-
  Based  Compensation."   The  effect  on  net  income  from  the
  adoption  of  Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards  No.
  123  "Accounting  for Stock Based Compensation"  would  be  the
  same.

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES
  
  During  1996, the Company filed a lawsuit against  an  operator
  of  the  wells  in the McLouth field.  The Company  claims  the
  operator has failed to service, maintain and operate the  wells
  in  a reasonable manner.  The Company is asking for damages  in
  excess  of  $500,000.  The operator has asserted a counterclaim
  against the Company for breech of contract alleging damages  in
  excess  of  $500,000.  There is no guarantee that  the  Company
  will  prevail in the suit, management and their counsel believe
  there  is  a  likelihood of a favorable outcome.  Consequently,
  no   adjustments  or  accruals  were  made  to  the   financial
  statements with regards to these lawsuits.
  
  During  1995,  a lawsuit was filed against the Company  by  the
  landowners of one of the Company's three developed oil  leases,
  generally  referred  to  as  the  "B"  lease.   The  "B"  lease
  contains  two  of  the  Company's  fifteen  productive   wells.
  During the year ended 1995 the Company chose not to produce  or
  further develop on the "B" lease  until  resolution of the 
  lawsuit  with  the  landowners.  The Company has answered the 
  suit,  denied  the  plaintiffs' claims, and asserted a 
  counterclaim and affirmative  defenses. The Company disputes the 
  plaintiffs' claims and  will defend the case vigorously to 
  protect its interest in the lease. While there is no guarantee 
  that the Company will  prevail in the suit, management and their 
  counsel  believe there is a likelihood of  a favorable  outcome.    
  Consequently,  no adjustments or accruals were made to the 
  financial  statements with regards to this lawsuit.
  
  Management  is  not  aware of any pending or threatened  claims
  against   the   Company   for   environmental   clean   up   or
  environmental related contingencies and believe  there  are  no
  material  liabilities  that  are  required  to  be  accrued  or
  disclosed  in  connection with the clean  up  of  environmental
  hazards related to the Company's operations.

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

General
---------

     Upland Energy Corporation, a Utah corporation (the "Company") was 
originally organized in Utah on January 30, 1986, under the name Upland 
Investment Corporation, to engage in the acquisition and/or development of 
assets, properties or businesses of any kind.  The Company remained inactive 
other than raising some capital through the sale of its shares of Common Stock 
until 1991.

     During the 1991 fiscal year, the Company conducted negotiations with 
respect to the acquisition of a Florida corporation involved in the 
development of a fluid level monitoring system for underground fuel storage 
tanks.  The acquisition was not completed; however, during the course of 
negotiations, the Company loaned such company $25,000 pursuant to the terms of 
a promissory note.  The note has not been repaid despite demand by the Company 
and the Company has concluded that the note is uncollectible.   

     In November 1993, the Company acquired G.S. & C., Inc., a Nevada 
corporation ("GSC") in a stock for stock transaction.  GSC was organized under 
the laws of Nevada on September 1, 1993.  Prior to the acquisition, the 
Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse split in its issued and outstanding shares 
of Common Stock reducing the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to 
the acquisition of GSC from 13,990,000 to 6,995,000.  The Company then issued 
25,297,500 post-split shares of its Common Stock to the shareholders of GSC in 
exchange for all issued and outstanding shares of GSC.  In connection with the 
transaction, the name of the Company was changed from Upland Investment 
Corporation to Upland Energy Corporation to better reflect the Company's 
business activities.  For financial statement purposes, the transaction has 
been accounted for as a "reverse acquisition" as if GSC had acquired the 
Company.  As a result, the financial statements included herewith present the 
operations of GSC from inception and include Upland's operations only from the 
date of the acquisition.

     The Company is engaged through the activities of its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, GSC, in the business of exploring for and developing oil and gas 
reserves.  Unless otherwise indicated, GSC and Upland are collectively 
referred to herein as the "Company."

     On or about November 17, 1993, GSC entered into an operating agreement 
(the "Operating Agreement") with KLM Exploration, Inc. and Kenneth L. Mason 
(collectively "KLM") pursuant to which KLM transferred to GSC certain rights 
and obligations of KLM under a farmout agreement (the "Farmout Agreement"), 
dated August 28, 1993, entered into between KLM and Williams Natural Gas 
Company ("Williams") with respect to certain property located in the state of 
Kansas commonly referred to as the McLouth Natural Gas Storage Field ("McLouth 
Field").  The Operating Agreement was approved by Williams and the Farmout 
Agreement was amended to make certain changes agreed to by the parties.  GSC 
paid KLM $100,000 pursuant to the terms of an earlier agreement in principle 
as consideration for KLM entering into the Operating Agreement.  Through these 
agreements, GSC has turned over much of the daily control of these fields to 
KLM and its operators.  The McLouth Field was originally acquired by Williams 
who entered into the Farmout Agreement with KLM.  The Farmout Agreement 
provided KLM the right and obligation to develop the McLouth Field.  KLM then
<PAGE> 12

entered into the agreements with GS&C who paid an initial fee of $100,000 as 
consideration for entering into the Operating Agreement and Amended Farmout 
Agreement.  Under the provisions of the agreements, KLM has performed the 
exploration, drilling and operation on the McLouth Field with the Company 
providing limited financial support. 

     In November 1993, GSC granted an aggregate of 2 1/4% overriding royalty 
interest in the McLouth Field against its working interest to T. Kent Rainey, 
Stefanie Gillen and Tony Cox, who at the time were directors of GSC, as 
compensation for services rendered to GSC.  The services performed by the 
individuals related to negotiating the Farmout Agreement on the McLouth 
Field.  The 2 1/4% overriding royalty will reduce the Company's percentage set 
forth in the above table by the amount of the overriding royalty but will not 
reduce the Company's obligation to pay 75% of the cost of developing the 
McLouth Field.

     During 1995 and 1996, the Company focused on the McLouth Field.  However, 
under the direction of the Company's current management, Felix Ascanio and 
John Hobbs, the Company has changed its principal focus from the McLouth Field 
to the Hittle Field in central Kansas.  Management refocused the Company's 
efforts towards the Hittle Field which, based on geological test and initial 
drilling results, appears more promising than the McLouth Field.  
Additionally, with limited resources, the Company wanted to focus on the 
Hittle Field until a resolution on certain disputes regarding the Operating 
Agreement on the McLouth Field are achieved.

     The Hittle Field originally consisted of approximately 560 acres and was 
acquired for $6,000 in cash and a 15.6% royalty interest in the leases. In the 
first quarter of 1997, the Company expanded its lease holdings on the Hittle 
Field through the acquisition of an additional 920 acres at a cost of $3,800 
with a 16.01% royalty interest remaining with the lessors.  The Company is 
seeking to expand its lease holdings on the Hittle Field through the 
acquisition of additional acreage.  There can be no assurance the Company will 
be successful in its efforts to acquire additional acreage.  Failure to 
acquire additional acreage will affect future earnings potential of the 
Company.

     The Company has drilled two initial wells, the Lewis H-1 (the "LH-1") and 
the Hittle H-1 (the "HH-1"), in the Hittle Field.  Both wells have shown 
promising results but have not been completed for production.  The Company has 
received approval from the Kansas Corporation Commission, which must approve 
the completion of the wells to complete the LH-1 well with two laterals.  The  
wells should be completed in August 1997 based on the availability of 
completion rigs and the open hole testing already performed.  Although initial 
shows from the wells appear promising until the wells are complete there 
remains substantial uncertainty and risk as to the wells economic viability 
and that of the Hittle Field.

     In connection with its organization, the Company sold 3,340,000 shares of 
restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") to 
its original officers and directors and other founding shareholders for 
$12,500.  In September, 1986, the Company completed an unregistered offering 
of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.0125 per share which 
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $98,897 after 
deducting sales commissions and other expenses of the offering.  The offering 
was conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of 
the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated 
thereunder.
<PAGE> 13

     In October 1987, the Company granted options to John W. Hobbs, then a new 
director of the Company, entitling him to purchase up to 250,000 pre-split 
shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.004 per share.  The options were 
exercised with respect to all 250,000 shares.  In December, 1992, the Company 
granted John W. Hobbs and Milo L. Carlston, officers and directors of the 
Company, stock options entitling them to purchase a total of 400,000 shares of 
Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the book value of such shares on 
the date of exercise.  Such options were exercised with respect to all 400,000 
shares in October 1993, at an exercise price of $0.0046 per share.  

     Prior to the Company's acquisition of GSC in November 1993, GSC had made 
the following issuance of its Common Stock: (i) 3,000,000 shares to its 
officers, directors and founding shareholders for $3,000; (ii) 365,834 shares 
to two officers and directors and one other person providing finders' services 
in connection with the acquisition of certain oil and gas properties in the 
state of Kansas; and (iii) 5,066,671 shares in a private placement to 20 
investors for $304,000.  As a result, immediately prior to its acquisition by 
the Company, GSC had 8,432,505 shares of Common Stock outstanding which were 
exchanged for 25,297,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the basis of 
approximately three shares of the Company for each share of GSC.

     During 1994, the Company sold 7,490,000 shares of restricted Common Stock 
in a private placement at a price of $0.05 per share.  The Company realized 
net proceeds from the offering of approximately $344,516 after deducting 
offering costs in the amount of $29,984.

     In January 1995, the Company issued a total of 2,425,000 shares of 
restricted stock to officers, consultants and third party contractors as 
compensation for services provided to the Company.  John W. Hobbs and T. Kent 
Rainey, officers of the Company, received 250,000 and 950,000 shares Common 
Stock, respectively.

     On March 20, 1995, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse split in its 
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock which reduced the number of 
issued and outstanding shares from 42,207,501 to approximately 2,110,375 
shares.  The share and per share data set forth herein  and the accompanying 
financial statements give effect to such reverse stock split.  During the 
third quarter of 1996, the Company engaged in a private placement raising 
$350,000 through the sale of 500,000 units consisting of one share of Common 
Stock and one common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants").  Each Warrant 
had an exercise price of $1.50 and was exercisable for a period of five 
years.  In February 1997, 500,000 warrants were exercised raising gross 
proceeds of $750,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
---------------------------------------

     At June 30, 1997, the Company had assets of $1,381,066 which represented 
an increase of $402,312 in assets since December 31, 1996.  The majority of 
the increase in assets resulted from the Company raising approximately 
$750,000 through the exercise of common stock purchase warrants in February 
and March of 1997.  As a result of the Company raising the additional capital, 
at June 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $419,487 with only $6,577 
in liabilities.  
PAGE
<PAGE> 14

     The Company's working capital is being depleted as the Company continues 
its drilling efforts on the Hittle Field.  The initial two wells, the LH-1 and 
the HH-1, drilled on the Hittle Field still must be completed, although the 
major expense associated with the wells, the drilling, has been completed.  
Due to weather and equipment availability problems, the Company has been 
unable to complete the two wells but does intend to complete both wells based 
on initial shows from the wells.  Until the wells are complete and additional 
geological and scientific study is performed on the Hittle Field, there will 
be a substantial amount of uncertainty as to whether the Hittle Field will 
ever produce oil in quantities to be profitable.

     Presently, the Company's only producing wells are in the McLouth Field 
which is the subject of litigation between the Company and the operator of the 
McLouth Field, KLM.  Based on the Company's study of the McLouth Fields 
geological data and prior showings from the wells on the field, the Company 
believes the McLouth Field can produce oil in economic quantities; however, 
while the field remains the subject of litigation and disputes between the 
Company and KLM, the Company cannot look to the field to produce any 
significant revenue for the Company.  The Company intends, regardless of the 
outcome of any litigation on the McLouth Field, to focus on the Hittle Field 
until sufficient capital is available to focus on both fields.

     With little revenue presently being produced, the Company will continue 
to have to rely on the sale of its securities to fund operations.  Based on 
the working capital position of the Company, management estimates it can 
complete the two wells being drilled on the Hittle Field and potentially drill 
two or three other wells, depending on whether laterals which cost more are 
used.  If at the completion of this drilling, sufficient revenue is not being 
produced from the wells to cover overhead and future drilling, the Company 
will have to seek additional capital, most likely through the sale of its 
securities.  Additionally, the Company's drilling and exploration activities 
will continue to be delayed until sufficient capital is obtained to hire 
additional scientific and engineering personnel.  

Results of Operations
---------------------

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company had revenue of $29,044 
which was down $18,583 from the $47,627 for the same period in 1996.  For the 
six months ended June 30, 1997, revenue was only $49,095 which was down 
$41,180 for the same period in 1996.  The decrease in revenue was partly due 
to lower oil prices but predominately due to reduce production from the 
McLouth Field where all of the revenue was produced.  Until a resolution on 
the disputes with the operator of the McLouth Field are resolved or the wells 
on the Hittle Field are placed on line, it is likely oil revenue will be 
decreased.

     Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, increased due to additional 
general and administrative expenses and professional fees.  For the quarter 
ended June 30, 1997, general and administrative expenses increased to $43,460 
from $28,786 for the same period in 1996.  The increase related to increased 
activities on the Company's part with new drilling occurring which was not 
taking place in the same time frame in 1996.  Professional fees also increased 
to $34,095 from $14,440 as additional accounting and legal fees were incurred 
related to the litigation on the McLouth Field and the Company's efforts to 
move into reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission which 
required filing a Form 10-SB.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997, expenses increased substantially 
to $302,366 from $112,504 for the same period in 1996.  This increase was 
principally due to general and administrative expense which increased to 
$217,127 from $42,843 for the same period in 1996.  The majority of the 
increase in general and administrative expense, approximately $118,000, 
related to tax obligations resulting from the exercise of stock options by 
officers and directors of the Company.

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company continued to have a 
loss.  With the decrease in revenue and increase in expenses, the loss 
increased to $62,852 from $33,966 for the same period in the prior year.  For 
the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company had a loss of $236,992.  The 
Company anticipates continued losses until production is produced on the 
Hittle Field.  As the wells being drilled on the Hittle Field are not 
complete, a substantial amount of uncertainty surrounds the Company's future 
revenue producing ability.  If wells on the Hittle Field do not produce oil in 
economic quantities, the future success of the Company will be very 
questionable.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company's subsidiary GSC filed a lawsuit on October 19, 1996, against 
KLM Exploration Company, Inc. in the District Court of Jefferson County, 
Kansas.  The lawsuit entitled G.S.&C., Inc. vs. KLM Exploration Company, Inc., 
et al., case no. 96C-92, seeks to remove KLM as operator of GSC's oil leases 
in the McLouth Field, and for damages in excess of $500,000 for breach of 
contract, and for an accounting.  KLM has filed its answer denying GSC's 
allegations, and counterclaimed for alleged unpaid operating expenses of 
$5,963.02, plus damages in excess of $500,000 for breach of contract.  
Williams Natural Gas has answered, and crossclaimed against KLM and 
counterclaimed against GSC for attorneys fees.  All counterclaims and 
crossclaims have been answered and the parties are still in the discovery 
stage of the litigation.  There are no pending motions and the parties are 
still in the discovery stage of the litigation.  The Court will call a 
scheduling conference in the near future to set a timetable for discovery.  As 
the case is in its early stages, the Company cannot say with any degree of 
certainty what the outcome will be or the potential cost of the lawsuit.

     The Company's subsidiary GSC had a lawsuit filed against it on September 
11, 1995, by the landowner of certain property in Kansas where the Company has 
been drilling.  The lawsuit, entitled Herbert N. Edmonds and Eelsa D. Edmonds 
vs. G.S. & C., Inc., in the District Court of Jefferson County, Kansas, case 
no. 95-C-67, seeks cancellation of the lease to GSC from the plaintiff and 
quieting of title, plus cost, attorneys' fees and expenses.  On February 8, 
1996, the court granted plaintiffs leave to amend their petition to add 
additional parties.  GSC has answered the lawsuit denying plaintiffs' claims 
and asserting a counterclaim and affirmative defenses.  GSC filed a motion for 
summary judgment and the plaintiffs countered with their own motion for 
summary judgment both of which were heard by the court on July 30, 1997.  The 
judge has taken the motions under advisement.  At this time, the Company 
cannot say with any degree of certainty the potential outcome of the motions.  
GSC intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and is hopeful of a positive 
outcome; however, as the lawsuit is in the early stages, the Company cannot 
say with any degree of certainty what the outcome will be or the potential 
cost of the lawsuit.
