of the financial position and results of operations for the interim period
reported. The financial statements are condensed and should be read in

                  Pro Forma Financial Statement Information


ACQUISITIONS

      On July 18, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Signature
Geophysical Services, Inc. (SGS) pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase
Agreement, whereby the Company acquired 500 shares of the outstanding common
stock of SGS in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. SGS
is engaged in the business of conducting 2-D and 3-D seismic surveys of oil and
gas properties, focusing on the Permian Basin and the U.S. Gulf Coast, with
special emphasis on coastal swamp work.

      The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of
operations of SGS are included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date of acquisition, July 18, 1997, for the third quarter of 1997. The following
represents the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition
had occurred at the beginning of the third quarter, and therefore includes the
results of operations for SGS during the period July 1, 1997, through July 18,
1997. In addition to combining the historical results of operations of the two
companies, the pro forma calculations include amortization of goodwill. The
excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired of $1,974,301 is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

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

      At September 30, 1997, the Company's financial position reflects (i) the
Company's ongoing oil and gas operations, (ii) the continuous start-up costs
relating to the seismic operations to be conducted by Quantum Geophysical, Inc.,
and (iii) the seismic survey operations being conducted by Signature Geophysical
Services, Inc. The Company expects seismic survey operations in Quantum
Geophysical, Inc. to commence on or about October 1, 1997. On July 18, 1997, the
Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Signature Geophysical Services, Inc., a Houston based provider of 3-D
geophysical surveys for the oil and gas industry. The financial requirements of
the oil and gas business as well as the start-up and acquisition 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. As a
result, on July 18, 1997, the company completed a private placement of both its
common and preferred stock. The Company received $5,500,000 in cash and the
exchange of other indebtedness in the principal amount of $500,000. On July 24,
1997, the company completed an additional private placement of its preferred
stock with the same investment group. The Company received proceeds of
$1,000,000 in cash from this transaction.

               2. On July 18, 1997, the Registrant acquired all of the
                  outstanding stock of Signature Geophysical Services, Inc.

               3. On July 18, 1997 certain changes in the directors and officers
