</TABLE>
New Accounting Standard -
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). The Statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards that are effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 1999 which require that every derivative instrument (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
The Company is currently using derivatives to hedge floating interest rate
and natural gas price risks. Such derivatives are reported at cost, if any, and
gains and losses on such derivatives are reported when the hedged transaction
occurs. Accordingly, the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have an impact
on the reported financial position of the Company, and although such impact has
not been determined, it is currently not believed to be material. Adoption of
SFAS No. 133 should have no significant impact on reported earnings, but could
materially affect comprehensive income.
(2) LONG-TERM DEBT -
As of March 31, 1999, the total outstanding principal balance under the
Company's bank credit facility was $277.0 million at a weighted average interest
rate of 7.3%. The total availability of outstanding borrowings is based on a
borrowing base amount established semiannually by the banks and is based on the
banks' estimates of the future net cash flow of the Company's oil and gas
properties. The borrowing base as of March 31, 1999 was $277.0 million. Such
borrowing base was scheduled to reduce to $220.0 million by January 1, 2000.

COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
On April 29, 1999, the Company reduced the total outstanding indebtedness
under the bank credit facility to $104.0 million with the proceeds from the sale
of the Senior Notes and the Preferred Stock discussed in Note 3 below and
entered into a new bank credit facility which consists of a $162.5 million
revolving credit commitment provided by a syndicate of banks for which The First
National Bank of Chicago serves as administrative agent. The borrowing base
under the new bank credit facility is $162.5 million. Such borrowing base may be
affected from time to time by the performance of the Company's oil and gas
properties and changes in oil and gas prices. The determination of the Company's
borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the
bank group. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination under the new bank
credit facility will not occur until October 1999. The revolving credit line
under the new bank credit facility bears interest at the option of the Company
at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25% or (ii) the "corporate base rate" plus 1.25%. The
Company incurs a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused portion of the
borrowing base. The revolving credit line matures on December 9, 2002 or such
earlier date as the Company may elect. The new bank credit facility contains
covenants which, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends,
limit the amount of consolidated debt, and limit the Company's ability to make
certain loans and investments. Significant financial covenants will include the
maintenance of a current ratio, as defined, (1.0 to 1.0), maintenance of
tangible net worth ($105.0 million), and maintenance of an interest coverage
ratio (2.5 to 1.0). The Company's new bank credit facility is secured by the
Company's oil and gas properties.
(3) SUBSEQUENT EVENT -
On April 29, 1999, the Company closed the sale of $150.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Notes due in 2007 (the "Notes").
Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1,
commencing on November 1, 1999. The Notes were priced at a discount to yield
11.35% and proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to reduce amounts
outstanding under the Company's bank credit facility. The Notes are unsecured
obligations of the Company and guaranteed by all of the Company's principal
operating subsidiaries. The Company can redeem the Notes beginning on May 1,
2004.
Concurrently with the sale of the Notes, the Company also sold 1,948,001
shares of its Series A 1999 Convertible Preferred Stock, $10 par value and
1,051,999 shares of its Series B 1999 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, $10 par
value (the "Preferred Stock"), in a private placement for $30.0 million. The
proceeds from the private placement were used to reduce amounts outstanding
under the Company's bank credit facility. The Preferred Stock accrues dividends
at an annual rate of 9% and are payable quarterly in cash or in shares of the
Company's common stock, at the election of the Company. Shares of the Series A
1999 Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder,
into shares of common stock of the Company. Based on the initial conversion
price of $4.00 per share of common stock, each share of Series A 1999
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 2.5 shares of common stock.
Subject to stockholder approval, the Company intends to convert all of the
shares of the Series B 1999 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of
Series A 1999 Convertible Preferred Stock.

(2) Represents depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas

(3) Represents average equivalent price per Mcfe less oil and gas operating
expenses per Mcfe and general and administrative expenses per Mcfe.
Revenues -
The Company's oil and gas sales decreased $5.8 million (23%) in the first
quarter of 1999, to $19.6 million from $25.4 million in 1998's first quarter due
to a 5% decrease in the Company's oil and natural gas production (on an
equivalent Mcf basis) and a 19% decrease in the Company's average realized oil
and natural gas prices.
Other income decreased $86,000 (74%) to $30,000 in the first quarter of
1999 from $116,000 in the first quarter of 1998. The decrease is attributable to
a lower level of short-term cash deposits outstanding during the quarter.
Costs and Expenses -
Oil and gas operating expenses, including production taxes, decreased
$427,000 (7%) to $5.9 million in the first quarter of 1999 from $6.3 million in
the first quarter of 1998. The decrease is due to the 5% decrease in oil and
natural gas production (on an equivalent Mcf basis) in the first quarter of
1999. Oil and gas operating expenses per equivalent Mcf produced also decreased
by 1(cent) to 58(cent) in the first quarter of 1999 from 59(cent) in the first
quarter of 1998.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") increased $819,000 (6%)
to $13.4 million in the first quarter of 1999 from $12.6 million in the first
quarter of 1998 due primarily to higher costs per unit of amortization. DD&A per
equivalent Mcf produced increased from $1.17 in 1998's first quarter to $1.31 in
1999's first quarter.
11
<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses, which is reported net of overhead
reimbursements, increased $12,000 (3%) to $434,000 in the first quarter of 1999
from $422,000 in 1998's first quarter.
Interest expense increased $841,000 (20%) to $5.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from $4.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998. The increase is primarily related to interest capitalized on
unevaluated properties in 1998 of $535,000. No interest was capitalized in 1999.
The remaining increase relates to a higher level of outstanding advances under
the Company's bank credit facility and an increase in the average interest rate.
The weighted average annual interest rate under the Company's bank credit
facility increased to 7.3% in 1999's first quarter as compared to 7.1% in the
first quarter of 1998.
The Company provided a $1.8 million benefit for deferred income taxes for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to a $307,000 provision for
income taxes for the first quarter of 1998.
The Company reported a net loss of $4.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, as compared to a net income of $570,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. Net loss per share for the first quarter was 17(cent) on
weighted average shares outstanding of 24.4 million as compared to net income
per share of 2(cent) for the first quarter of 1998 on diluted weighted average
shares outstanding of 25.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Funding for the Company's activities has historically been provided by
operating cash flow, debt and equity financings and asset dispositions. In the
first quarter of 1999 the Company's net cash flow provided by operating
activities totaled $8.2 million before changes to other working capital
accounts.
The Company's primary needs for capital, in addition to funding of ongoing
operations, relate to the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and
gas properties and the repayment of principal and interest on debt. In the first
quarter of 1999, the Company repaid $1.1 million of indebtedness and incurred
capital expenditures of $3.4 million primarily for development and exploration
activities.
On April 29, 1999, the Company closed the sale of $150.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Notes due in 2007 (the "Notes").
Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1,
commencing on November 1, 1999. The Notes were priced at a discount to yield
11.35% and proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to reduce amounts
outstanding under the Company's bank credit facility. The Notes are unsecured
obligations of the Company and guaranteed by all of the Company's principal
operating subsidiaries. The Company can redeem the Notes beginning on May 1,
2004.
Concurrently with the sale of the Notes, the Company also sold 1,948,001
shares of its Series A 1999 Convertible Preferred Stock, $10 par value and
1,051,999 shares of its Series B 1999 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, $10 par
value (the "Preferred Stock"), in a private placement for $30.0 million. The
proceeds from the private placement were used to reduce amounts outstanding
under the Company's bank credit facility. The Preferred Stock accrues dividends
at an annual rate of 9% and are payable quarterly in cash or in shares of the
Company's common stock, at the election of the Company. Shares of the Series A
1999 Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder,
into shares of common stock of the Company. Based on the initial conversion
price of $4.00 per share of common stock, each share of Series A 1999
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 2.5 shares of common stock.
Subject to stockholder approval, the Company intends to convert all of the
shares of the Series B 1999 Non-Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of
Series A 1999 Convertible Preferred Stock.
12
<PAGE>
The Company entered into a new bank credit facility on April 29, 1999,
consisting of a $162.5 million revolving credit commitment provided by a
syndicate of banks for which The First National Bank of Chicago serves as
administrative agent. Indebtedness under the new bank credit facility is secured
by substantially all of the Company's assets and is subject to borrowing base
availability which is generally redetermined semiannually based on the banks'
estimates of the future net cash flows of the Company's oil and gas properties.
The borrowing base under the new bank credit facility is $162.5 million. Such
borrowing base may be affected from time to time by the performance of the
Company's oil and gas properties and changes in oil and gas prices. The
determination of the Company's borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the
administrative agent and the bank group. The next scheduled borrowing base
redetermination under the new bank credit facility will not occur until October
1999. The revolving credit line under the new bank credit facility will bear
interest at the option of the Company at either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25% or (ii) the
"corporate base rate" plus 1.25%. The Company incurs a commitment fee of 0.5%
per annum on the unused portion of the borrowing base. The revolving credit line
matures on December 9, 2002 or such earlier date as the Company may elect. The
new bank credit facility contains covenants which, among other things, restrict
the payment of cash dividends, limit the amount of consolidated debt, and limit
the Company's ability to make certain loans and investments. Significant
financial covenants will include the maintenance of a current ratio, as defined,
(1.0 to 1.0), maintenance of tangible net worth ($105.0 million), and
maintenance of an interest coverage ratio (2.5 to 1.0).
The Company's capital expenditure activity for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998 is summarized as follows:

-------- --------
Total.......................... $ 3,433 $ 8,936
======== ========
The timing of most of the Company's capital expenditures is discretionary
with no material long-term capital expenditure commitments. Consequently, the
Company has a significant degree of flexibility to adjust the level of such
expenditures as circumstances warrant. The Company spent $3.2 million and $8.2
million on development and exploration activities in the first quarter of 1999
and 1998, respectively. The Company currently anticipates spending approximately
an additional $12.0 million to $40.0 million on development and exploration
projects for the remainder of 1999, depending on oil and natural gas prices. The
Company intends to primarily use internally generated cash flow to fund capital
expenditures other than significant acquisitions.
The Company does not have a specific acquisition budget as a result of the
unpredictability of the timing and size of forthcoming acquisition activities.
The Company intends to use borrowings under its bank credit facility, or other
debt or equity financings to the extent available, to finance significant
acquisitions. The availability and attractiveness of these sources of financing
will depend upon a number of factors, some of which will relate to the financial
condition and performance of the Company, and some of which will be beyond the
Company's control, such as prevailing interest rates, oil and gas prices and
other market conditions.
13
<PAGE>
The Company believes that cash flow from operations and available
borrowings under the Company's new bank credit facility will be sufficient to
fund its operations and future growth as contemplated under its current business
plan. However, if the Company's plans or assumptions change or if its
assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the Company may be required to seek
additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain such capital or, if such capital is available, that the Company will be
able to obtain it on acceptable terms.
