On February 9, 1996, 3-D Geophysical, Inc. (the "Company")
consummated its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 4,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), at $7.50 per share.
Subsequently, on February 21, 1996 the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 600,000 shares at $7.50 per
share. The proceeds, net of the underwriters' commissions and estimated Offering
costs were $28,879,000. Simultaneously with the Offering, the Company acquired
in separate transactions, in exchange for cash, notes and shares of Common
Stock, Geoevaluaciones, S.A., de C.V. ("GEO"), Procesos Interactivos Avanzados,
S.A. de C.V. ("PIASA"), certain assets and liabilities of the land seismic
business of Northern Geophysical of America, Inc. ("Northern"), Paragon
Geophysical, Inc. ("Paragon") and Kemp Geophysical Corporation ("Kemp" and,
collectively with GEO, PIASA, Northern and Paragon, the "Founding Companies").
Approximately $13,593,000 of the proceeds was used to pay the cash portion of
the purchase price of the Founding Companies. A detailed description of the
Offering and the acquisitions of the Founding Companies is included within the
Registration Statement (Registration Statement No. 33- 99240) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
Rule 15d-2 ("Rule 15d-2") under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, provides generally that if a registrant files a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which does not contain
certified financial statements for the registrant's last full fiscal year (or
for the life of the registrant if less than a full fiscal year), then the
registrant shall, within 90 days after the effective date of the registration
statement, file a special report furnishing certified financial statements for
such last full fiscal year or other period as the case may be. Rule 15d-2
further provides that such special financial report is to be filed under cover
of the facing shoat appropriate for annual reports of the registrant.
The Company's Form S-1 Registration Statement referenced above
did not contain the certified financial statements contemplated by Rule 15d-2,
therefore, as required by Rule 15d-2, these are being filed with the Commission
under cover of the facing page of an Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
3-D Geophysical, Inc. (the "Company") is a newly-organized corporation,
formed in March 1995. The Company was formed to facilitate the
acquisition and consolidation of land-based seismic data acquisition
businesses and has not commenced operations. On February 9, 1996, the
Company consummated an initial public offering (the "Offering") of
4,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share.
Subsequently, on February 21, 1996, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 600,000 shares at $7.50
per share. The proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters'
commissions and estimated Offering costs were $28, 879,000. Immediately
prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Company effected a
2,717.66-for-one split of the Common Stock.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following pro forma consolidated financial statements
include the pro forma consolidated balance sheet of 3-D Geophysical, Inc., as of
December 31, 1995, and the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1995.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared as if
(a) the acquisition of Geoevaluaciones, S.A. de C.V. ("Geoevaluaciones"),
Procesos Interactivos Avanzados, S.A. de C.V. ("PIASA"), the land seismic assets
of Northern Geophysical of America, Inc. ("Northern"), Kemp Geophysical
Corporation ("Kemp") and Paragon Geophysical, Inc. ("Paragon") (collectively
referred to as the "Founding Companies"), and (b) the initial public offering
(the "Offering") had been completed. 3-D Geophysical, Inc. has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement No. 33-99240 on Form
S-1 in connection with the Offering, effective February 6, 1996.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, 3-D
Geophysical will acquire in separate transactions, in exchange for cash, notes
and shares of Common Stock, the Founding Companies. For accounting purposes, the
acquisition of Geoevaluaciones and PIASA has been treated as a recapitalization
of Geoevaluaciones and PIASA with Geoevaluaciones (combined with PIASA) as the
acquiror of 3-D Geophysical. Accordingly, Geoevaluaciones' net assets are valued
at historical cost and the consideration given to former stockholders of
Geoevaluaciones and PIASA is treated for accounting purposes as a dividend. The
acquisitions of the other Founding Companies are being treated as business
combinations accounted for by the purchase method of accounting as prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 48.
The acquisition of Paragon's common stock in exchange for shares of Common Stock
is accounted for at Paragon's historical cost. Northern and Kemp are being
valued at the fair market value of consideration given. In connection with the
acquisitions of Northern and Kemp, the excess of consideration given over the
fair market value of net assets received will be amortized on a straight-line
basis over 15 years.
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1995 gives effect to the acquisitions of the Founding Companies and the Offering
as if such transactions had occurred on December 31, 1995. The pro forma
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995
assumes the Company had completed the transactions on January 1, 1995.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements of the
Founding Companies have been derived from the audited historical financial
statements of Geoevaluaciones and unaudited historical financial statements of
Northern's land-based seismic operations, Kemp and Paragon for the year ended
December 31, 1995. These pro forma consolidated statements of operations may not
be indicative of actual results that would have been achieved if the
transactions had occurred on the dates indicated or the results which may be
realized in the future. Neither expected benefits and cost reductions
anticipated by the Company nor future corporate costs of the Company have been
reflected in the pro forma consolidated statements of operations.

GEOEVALUACIONES S.A. DE C.V.
PROCESOS INTERACTIVOS AVANZADOS, S.A. DE C.V.
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
1. ORGANIZATION
The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of
Geoevaluaciones, S.A. de C.V. ("Geoevaluaciones" or the "Company") and Procesos
Interactivos, S.A. de C.V. ("PIASA") (collectively the "Companies").
Geoevaluaciones, a Mexican corporation, was organized in 1977 and is engaged in
the acquisition of seismic data. The results of operations of Geoevaluaciones
are included for each of the three year periods. PIASA was established during
1993 and is engaged in processing seismic data for sale mainly to
Geoevaluaciones. The results of operations for PIASA are included from inception
in November, 1993. Transactions between the two companies have been eliminated
in the financial statements.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Companies generate revenue through performing contract seismic data
acquisition services. Revenues from contract seismic data services are
recognized as the work progresses on the percentage of completion method or as
sold.
MAJOR CUSTOMER
One customer, PEMEX, which is owned by the Mexican government, accounts
for approximately 98% of the revenues of Geoevaluaciones for the year ended
December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, this customer accounted for
approximately 100% and 99%, respectively of the Companies' trade accounts
receivable.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
These financial statements use the Mexican peso as the functional
currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate at the respective balance sheet date. The resultant
translation adjustments are included in stockholders' equity. Income and
expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the respective
reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions
are included in income currently.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost, adjusted for accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the
present value of future minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases.
Property and equipment are depreciated on the
- 19 -
<PAGE>
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, which range from
three to seven years. Equipment held under capital lease is amortized on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets or the terms
of the lease.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximates fair value because
of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The
carrying amount of the obligation under capital lease approximates fair value
because the lease agreements bear interest at variable rates which are adjusted
monthly. The carrying amount reported for long-term debt approximates fair value
based on current replacement values.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are computed under the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS
109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the
financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by using
enacted tax rates that are applicable to the future years in which deferred tax
assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Under SFAS 109,
the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is
recognized in earnings in the period in which the tax rate change was enacted.
The Companies establish a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not
that a deferred tax asset will not be recovered.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March, 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of ("Statement 121"). Statement 121 addresses
the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used. It also addresses the accounting for long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. Statement 121
establishes guidance for recognizing and measuring impairment losses and
requires that the carrying amount of impaired assets be reduced to fair value.
Statement 121 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. Management does not expect the impact of the adoption of Statement 121 to
have a material impact on the Companies' financial condition or results of
operations.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (SENIORITY PREMIUM)
The Company is required under Mexican Law to provide certain retirement
benefits to substantially all employees. These benefits generally consist of 12

Stock issued through stock dividend -- -- 229,582
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
One of the Companies' suppliers is currently in dispute with the
Mexican government as to whether or not the supplier is subject to value added
taxes. The Companies have not paid value added taxes on invoices from the
supplier. In the event that the supplier is considered to be subject to value
added taxes in Mexico, the Companies would be required to pay the supplier value
added taxes on past invoices at rates of 10% or 15% depending on the date of the
invoice. These taxes would be recoverable by the Companies against value added
tax charged on invoices issued to its customers or by requesting a refund.
The Company has a dispute, and may be threatened by litigation, in
connection with certain agreements into by Geoevaluaciones with Capilano
International Inc., a Canadian company ("Capilano"). The dispute concerns a
certain Letter of Intent and a Technical Assistance Agreement, dated June 1,
1991 and June 3, 1992, respectively (the "Capilano Agreements"). Geoevaluaciones
maintains that it is not obligated to compensate Capilano for certain services
Geoevaluaciones believes were either inadequately provided or not provided at
all by Capilano. The parties also disagree upon how certain profits and losses
should be allocated under the Capilano Agreements. While the parties have had
discussions in the past to attempt to resolve the dispute, the most recent
discussions were in February 1995 and there have been no further developments
since that time. Under the agreement pursuant to which 3-D Geophysical, Inc.
("D-D") acquires Geoevaluaciones, a portion of the purchase price amounting to
$1,000,000 will be withheld and will be applied to amounts paid by the Company,
if any, in settlement or otherwise in connection with the dispute with Capilano.
14. Subsequent Events
On February 9, 1996, the stockholders of Geoevaluaciones (the
"Geoevaluaciones Stockholders") sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of GEO to 3-D. Pursuant to the Geoevaluaciones stock purchase
agreement, the aggregate consideration which was paid to the Geoevaluaciones
Stockholders by 3-D was: (i) $2.45 million paid in cash at closing; and (ii)
