ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On June 1 2000, the Company closed on the acquisition of Oklahoma Basic
Economy Corporation ("OBEC") and the working interests of OBEC's partners for
$10,000,000.  Included in the purchase were interests in approximately 49 oil
and gas leases located in the following counties in Oklahoma:  Pontotoc,
Pottawatomie, and Seminole.  The purchase also included two workover rigs, and
miscellaneous oil field equipment which relates to the ongoing production of
the oil and gas properties.

     The purchase was funded with $9,900,000 by advances under the Company's
bank credit agreement and approximately $100,000 in cash from operations.

     This acquisition is expected to increase the Company's daily oil
production by 61% to approximately 980 barrels of oil per day, and proven
producing reserves are expected to increase by 94% and proven undeveloped
reserves are expected to increase by 69%.

Board of Directors
Pontotoc Production, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying Combined Statements of Revenue and Direct
Operating Expenses of Certain Acquired Property Interests (combined
statements) for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  The combined
statements are the responsibility of Pontotoc Production, Inc.'s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the combined statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statements were prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Pontotoc Production, Inc.) as
described in Note A and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Acquired Property Interests' revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the combined statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the revenue and direct operating expenses as described
in Note A of the Acquired Property Interests for the years ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND
                    DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES OF CERTAIN
                          ACQUIRED PROPERTY INTERESTS

                            March 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

     The accompanying combined statements present the revenue and direct
operating expenses of certain oil and gas property interests (the
"Properties") acquired by Pontotoc Production, Inc. (the "Company") from
Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation ("OBEC") and certain other outside interest
owners.

     The accompanying combined statements do not reflect provisions for
depletion, depreciation, and amortization, if any, which may have been
recorded in the financial records of the previous interest owners.  The
combined statements do not reflect certain additional expenses that may have
been incurred in connection with the ownership of the Properties such as
interest on indebtedness and general and administrative expenses incurred
individually by the prior interest owners as such costs are not comparable to
those which will result from the future operation of the Properties.

     Lease operations expense includes direct costs of operating the
Properties which were charged to the joint account of working interest owners
by the operator of the wells.

     The Properties are not taxpaying entities.  Any taxable income arising
from the operation of the Properties accrues directly to the interest owners.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the combined
statements of revenue and direct operating expenses.

     Oil and gas sales are recognized when the product is transported from the
well site.

NOTE B - OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA (UNAUDITED)

     The following estimates of proved developed and proved undeveloped
reserve quantities and related standardized measure of discounted future net
cash flows are estimates only, and do not purport to reflect realizable values
or fair market values of the Properties' reserves.  It is emphasized that
reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new
discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties.
Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information
becomes available.  All of the Properties' reserves are located in the United
States.

     Proved reserves are estimated reserves of crude oil (including condensate
and natural gas liquids) and natural gas that 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 expected to be recovered through existing wells,
equipment, and operating methods.

                      DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES OF CERTAIN
                     ACQUIRED PROPERTY INTERESTS - CONTINUED

                             March 31, 2000 and 1999


     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-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 year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and
producing the proved reserves, and assuming continuation of existing economic
conditions.  The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a
rate of 10% a year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.

     The following summaries of changes in reserves and standardized measure
of discounted future net cash flows were prepared from estimates of proved
reserves developed by the Company's engineer.

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On June 1, 2000, the Company acquired Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation
("OBEC") and the working interests of OBEC's partners for cash of
approximately $10,000,000.  The accompanying pro forma combined balance sheet
has been presented as if the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2000 and the
accompanying pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended
March 31, 2000 has been prepared as if the acquisition was consummated on
April 1, 1999.

Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the
assumption that all of the common stock options are converted into common
shares using the treasury stock method.  There are no differences in net
earnings for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share as
conversion of the common stock options would have no effect on net earnings.

NOTE B - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the assumed effect of the
combination on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 and statement of
operations assuming the acquisition was consummated on April 1, 1999. The
accompanying pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations reflect the
following adjustments:

   (1)   To record the acquisition of OBEC and the working interest of OBEC's
partners for cash and assumption of deferred tax liabilities and to record
bank borrowing of $9,893,713 to fund the acquisition.

   (2)   To record depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense on oil
and gas properties acquired.

   (3)   To record estimated income tax expense at the combined effective
rate.

   (4)   To record interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2000 at the
effective rate of 7.3%.

NOTE C - OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA (UNAUDITED)

The following tables contain certain oil and gas disclosures reflecting the
pro forma combined oil and gas activities as of and for the year ended March
31, 2000.
