OPINION

PER CURIAM:

G & M Oil Company appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment for defendant Glenfed Financial Corporation on claims arising from failed negotiations for a financing agreement. The district court determined that correspondence between the parties constituted negotiations to enter a financing agreement upon the fulfillment of certain conditions which were never fulfilled, rather than a contract whereby Glenfed Financial agreed to provide financing to G & M Oil. After reviewing the record and hearing oral arguments, we are convinced that the district court properly concluded that G & M Oil did not satisfy conditions necessary for Glenfed Financial to continue negotiations to provide financing to G & M Oil, nor the conditions which the parties determined would be required for Glenfed Financial to enter a contract to provide financing to G & M Oil. Accordingly, we affirm on the findings and reasoning of the district court. G & M Oil Co. v. Glenfed Fin. Corp., CA-88-2884-R (D.Md. Jan. 10, 1991); G & M Oil Co. v. Glenfed Fin. Corp., CA-88-2884-% (D.Md. Dec. 21, 1989).
