NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       METHOD OF PRESENTATION.

         The interim financial statements contained herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement
of the financial position and results of operations for the interim period
reported. The financial statements are condensed and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
Registrant's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 , as well as the three-month transition
period ended December 31, 1995. A summary of accounting policies and other
significant information is included therein.


2.       LIABILITY RELATING TO COMPANY LEASE BANK

         The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Geokinetics Production Co., Inc.
("Production") has established a revolving credit facility (the "Lease Bank")
that receives cash deposits from private individuals and entities in order to
acquire oil and gas prospects. In exchange for such deposits, Production issues
promissory notes in principal amounts equal to the deposited cash amounts. These
notes bear a floating interest rate, currently at 12.5% per annum for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, and are guaranteed by the Company. The Company's
liabilities indicated on the interim financial statements reflect the aggregate
principal amounts of the promissory notes payable to the private individuals and
entities that have made cash deposits with the Lease Bank.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

                       (Three Months Ended March 31, 1996)

GENERAL

         At March 31, 1996, the Company continues to incur various costs and
expenses related to its efforts to diversify the Company's business activities.
On March 6, 1996, the Company obtained a $5,000,000 loan from an unaffiliated
lender to finance the initial operations of Quantum Geophysical, Inc.
("Quantum"). Quantum was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary to perform 3-D
seismic data acquisition services for the Company and the energy industry in the
United States. Seismic survey acquisition operations are not expected to
commence before July, 1996. In addition, the Company has continued its efforts
towards developing geoscience technology and software development capabilities.
On April 17, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to
acquire 80% of the outstanding capital stock of Green Mountain Geophysics, Inc.,
a Boulder, Colorado-based manufacturer of specialized software for the petroleum
industry. The financial requirements of the oil and gas business as well as the
start-up costs incurred in diversifying the Company's business activities
continues to require the Company to utilize a substantial portion of its current
assets and incur additional indebtedness in order to acquire additional
operating assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CLOSING OF $5,000,000 QUANTUM LOAN TRANSACTION

         The Company's financial position at March 31, 1996, reflects the
proceeds received by the Company in connection with the $5,000,000 Quantum loan
transaction. Current assets at March 31, 1996, totalled $2,046,129 as compared
with $871,252 at December 31, 1995. Cash and short-term investments at March 31,
1996 totalled $1,081,561 as compared to $16,905 at December 31, 1995. In
addition, the Company's property and equipment at March 31, 1996, totalled
$4,662,072, up from $897,840 at December 31, 1995. A substantial portion of the
Quantum loan proceeds were used to purchase seismic equipment and other
operating assets of Quantum's seismic operations. As a result of the Quantum
loan, the Company's long-term debt increased by approximately $5,000,000 to
$5,431,246 at March 31, 1996.

OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

         The Company (through its subsidiaries, HOC Operating Co., Inc. and
Geokinetics Production Co., Inc.) continues to conduct its oil and gas
operations consisting of acquiring, exploring, exploiting and developing oil and
gas properties. However, the oil and gas industry is a highly capital-intensive
business, especially in the initial stages of development of any venture. The
Company, therefore, requires capital principally to fund the following expenses:
(i) purchases of leases and other interests in oil and gas properties; (ii)
capital expenditures under agreements for

                                       8

geological, geophysical and seismic costs as well as drilling and completion
costs of wells; and (iii) general and administrative expenses. The capital
expenditures required by the Company to establish oil and gas production are
generally incurred prior to the commencement of production revenues. As a
result, the Company expects its oil and gas operations to operate with a working
capital deficiency during fiscal 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company incurred a
loss from operations of $532,580 compared to a loss of $190,689 during the
comparable period in 1995. This loss is primarily due to increased operating
expenses the Company incurred in connection with (i) the start-up of Quantum's
seismic operations, (ii) the development of the Company's geoscience and
software development capabilities, and (iii) increased expenses in oil and gas
operations. General and administrative expenses during the three-months ended
March 31, 1996, increased to $569,151 compared with $457,157 during the
comparable period in 1995. In addition, lease operating expenses from oil and
gas operations during the three-months ended March 31, 1996, totalled $117,099,
an approximate 59% increase of such expenses during the comparable period in
1995. This increase was primarily due to unscheduled well recompletions and
workovers. Finally, the Company did not realize any revenues during the first
quarter of 1996 from the sales of oil and gas prospects; corresponding revenues
from the sale of oil and gas prospects during the first quarter of 1995 were
$182,364.

DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT

         The Company is reporting an $800,000 asset relating to deferred tax
benefits as a result of the closing of the Quantum loan and the expected
commencement of Quantum's operations. This asset consists primarily of
differences in reporting Quantum's pre-operating costs and the amortization of
the Company's net operating losses. The value of such deferred tax benefits
reflects the amount that the Company believes to be realizable at this time. As
Quantum's operations commence and additional revenues are generated, the company
will review its valuation of deferred tax benefits and make adjustments when
necessary.

GEOSCIENCE OPERATIONS AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         On April 17, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with
respect to the acquisition of Green Mountain Geophysics, Inc. In order to
finance this acquisition, the Company intends to conduct a private placement of
approximately $4,000,000 - $5,000,000 in equity and debt securities (the "Green
Mountain Private Placement"). Closing of the Green Mountain acquisition is
expected to occur in June 1996, but is subject to a number of conditions,
including the completion of the Green Mountain Private Placement. Completion of
the Green Mountain Private Placement will have a substantial effect on the
Company's financial position during fiscal 1996 and beyond.
