INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Costilla Energy, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating
expenses of the Ballard Acquisition (see Note 1) for the year ended December
31, 1996. The statement is the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and
direct operating expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K of Costilla
Energy, Inc. as described in Note 1) and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Ballard Acquisition interests' revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses
referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and
direct operating expenses of the Ballard Acquisition for the year ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On August 28, 1997 Costilla Energy, Inc., (the "Company") acquired from
Ballard Petroleum, LLC certain oil and gas properties (the "Ballard
Acquisition") for approximately $41.2 million. The accompanying statements
of revenues and direct operating expenses for the Ballard Acquisition do not
include general and administrative expenses, interest income or expense, a
provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization, or any provision for
income taxes since historical expenses of this nature incurred by Ballard are
not necessarily indicative of the costs to be incurred by the Company.
Historical financial information reflecting financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows of the Ballard Acquisition were not available
and are not presented because the purchase price was assigned to the oil and
gas property interests acquired. Other assets acquired and liabilities
assumed were not material. Accordingly, the historical statements of
revenues and direct operating expenses of the Ballard Acquisition are
presented in lieu of the financial statements required under Rule 3-05 of
Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.
Revenues in the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating
expenses are recognized on the sales method. Under this method, revenues are
recognized based on actual volumes of oil and natural gas sold to purchasers.
Direct operating expenses are recognized on the accrual method.
Preparation of the accompanying statements of revenues and direct
operating expenses requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues and direct operating expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INTERIM STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
The interim financial information for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim
statements of revenues and direct operating expenses include all the
necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods
and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim
statements of revenues and direct operating expenses should be read in
conjunction with the audited statement of revenues and direct operating
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996.
(2) SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES
(UNAUDITED)
ESTIMATED QUANTITIES OF PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES
Reserve information presented below for the Ballard Acquisition, as of
January 1, 1996 and December 31,1996, is based on reserve estimates prepared
by the Company's engineers, using prices and costs in effect at that date.
Changes in reserve estimates were derived by adjusting such quantities and
values for actual production using historical prices and costs.
Proved reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas
which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty
to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing
economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those which
are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment
and operating methods. Oil and gas reserve quantity estimates are subject to
numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved
reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing
of development expenditures. The accuracy of such estimates is a function of
the quality of available data and of engineering and geological
interpretation and judgment. Results of subsequent drilling, testing and
production may cause either upward or downward revision of previous
estimates. Further, the volumes considered to be commercially recoverable
fluctuate with changes in prices and operating costs. The Company emphasizes
that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new
discoveries are more imprecise than those of currently producing oil and gas
properties. Accordingly, these reserve estimates are expected to change as
additional information becomes available in the future.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS OF PROVED OIL AND GAS
RESERVES
The Company has estimated the standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas reserves in
accordance with the standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board through its Statement No. 69. The estimates of future cash flows and
future production and development costs are based on year-end sales prices for
oil and gas, estimated future production of proved reserves, and estimated
future production and development costs of proved reserves, based on current
costs and economic conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then
discounted at a rate of 10%.
Discounted future net cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair market value of oil and gas
properties. Estimates of fair market value should also consider probable
reserves, anticipated future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in
development and production costs and risks associated with future production.
Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of fair market value is
necessarily subjective and imprecise.
The following are the Company's estimated standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves attributable to the
Ballard Acquisition as of December 31, 1996 (in thousands):
Future:
Cash inflows $143,236
Production costs (46,312)
Development costs (871)
--------
Net cash flows before income taxes 96,053
10% annual discount for estimated timing of
cash flows (34,735)
--------
Standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows before income taxes $ 61,318

ITEM 7(a) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations of the Company
have been prepared to give effect to the Company's Corporate Reorganization on
October 8, 1996, the Common Stock Offering of 4,800,000 shares of its Common
Stock on October 8, 1996, the Notes Offering on October 8, 1996 in which the
Company issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior notes
due 2006, the issuance of an additional 475,000 shares of its Common Stock on
November 1, 1996 pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option by its
underwriters, the 1996 Acquisition and the Ballard Acquisition as if such
transactions had taken place on January 1, 1996. The Pro Forma Condensed
Statements of Operations of the Company are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the periods presented had the Ballard Acquisition and the 1996
Acquisition taken place on January 1, 1996. In addition, future results may
vary significantly from the results reflected in the accompanying Pro Forma
Condensed Statements of Operations because of normal production declines,
changes in product prices, and the success of future exploration and development
activities, among other factors. This information should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Costilla Energy, Inc. and the
Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses with respect to the
properties acquired in the Ballard Acquisition.

NOTE 3. -- SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION
The estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, which are located in the
United States, were prepared by the Company as of January 1, 1996 and
December 31, 1996. Reserves were estimated in accordance with guidelines
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and FASB which require
that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating
conditions with no provision for price and cost escalations, except by
contractual arrangements. The Company has presented the pro forma reserve
estimates utilizing an oil price of $23.88 per Bbl and a gas price of $3.94
per Mcf as of December 31, 1996. The pro forma information assumes that both
the 1996 Acquisition and the Ballard Acquisition took place on January 1, 1996.
OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES
Oil and gas reserve quantity estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties
inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the
projection of future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. The accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of
available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment.
Results of subsequent drilling, testing and production may cause either upward
or downward revision of previous estimates. Further, the volumes considered to
be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in prices and operating
costs. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise that those of currently
producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to
change as additional information becomes available in the future.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL
AND GAS RESERVES
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying period-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on period-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the
proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on period-end
statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated)
to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less tax basis of properties and
available credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10% per
year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.
Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider probable reserves, anticipated
future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in development and
production costs and risks associated with future production. Because of
these and other considerations, estimates of fair value are necessarily
subjective and imprecise.
