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 Company is working to complete its audit for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996. When completed, audited financial statements will be included
in an amendment to the Company's Form 10-KSB filed for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996. The Company expects to file an amendment to the Form 10-QSB
for the period ended March 31, 1997 and this Form 10-QSB to properly reflect
changes to the financial information provided herein by incorporating the
results of the Company's audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. 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 12.25% per annum for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, 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.

3.    NOTES PAYABLE

      The Company's notes payable currently valued at $1,361,585 reflect, in
part, (i) the current (i.e., one year) maturities, totaling $331,825, in
connection with the Quantum loan, (ii) that certain promissory note payable to
Input/Output, Inc., dated January 8, 1996, in the principal amount of $330,848
representing indebtedness incurred by the Company incident to its geophysical
operations, (iii) certain promissory notes dated October 23, 1996 and October
31, 1996 totaling an aggregate of $697,025 from a group of private sources
including an outside director of the Company to provide short term working
capital for the Company's operations. (See "Extension of Promissory Notes" under
Liquidity and Capital Reserves in Item 2 below.)

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

GENERAL

      At June 30, 1997, 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 energy industry in the United States.
Seismic survey operations are not expected to commence before September 1997. On
March 5, 1997, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of
the issue and outstanding capital stock of Signature Geophysical Services, Inc.,
a Houston based provider of 3D geophysical surveys for the oil and gas industry.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CLOSING OF $5,000,000 QUANTUM LOAN

      The Company's financial position at June 30, 1997 substantially reflects
the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the $5,000,000 Quantum
loan and the Company's use of such proceeds. Current assets at June 30, 1997,
totaled $895,746 as compared with $1,299,493 at December 31, 1996. Cash and
short-term investments at June 30, 1997 totaled $1,906 as compared to $99,879 at
December 31, 1996. Restricted cash reflects the proceeds from the Quantum loan
that are restricted for use in the company's seismic operations and is,
therefore not available to meet the Company's working capital needs.

$500,000 BRIDGE FINANCING

      On April 25, 1997, the Company obtained $500,000 in short-term financing
from private investment sources. The financing bears interest at 12% per annum.
In addition , the Company issued warrants to these private investment sources to
purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at $.75 per share.

EXTENSION OF PROMISSORY NOTES

      The Company defaulted on interest payable January 31, 1997 under certain
promissory notes with an aggregate value of $697,025. Two of such promissory
notes are held by an outside director of the company. In March 1997, the Company
signed an agreement with each noteholder whereby (i) all defaults have been
cured and waived, (ii) the Company will pay interest to each noteholder on a
monthly basis until maturity, and (iii) the maturity of each note has been
extended until the earlier of June 30, 1997 or such time as the Company has
completed a private placement of debt and/or equity of not less than $4,000,000.
Additionally, the Company extended until December 31, 1997 the expiration date
of certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants that were previously issued to each
noteholder in consideration of the loans evidenced by these promissory notes.

      The Company defaulted on the payment of a promissory note in favor of
Input/Output, Inc. in the principal amount of $330,884 that was due on July 31,
1997. In April 1997, the Company signed an agreement with Input/Output, Inc.
whereby (i) all defaults have been cured and waived, (ii) the Company will pay
interest to Input/Output, Inc. on a monthly basis until maturity, and (iii) the
maturity of the note has been extended until October 31, 1997.

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 operating 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 requires additional capital to
fund the following expenses: (i) purchases of leases and other interests in oil
and gas properties; and ,(ii) capital expenditures under agreements for
geological, geophysical and seismic costs as well as drilling and completion
costs of wells. The Company expects its oil and gas operations to operate with a
working capital deficiency during fiscal 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred a loss
from operations of $445,767 compared to a loss of $337,975 during the comparable
period in 1996. This loss is primarily due to operating expenses the Company
incurred in connection with (i) the development of the Company's geophysical
data acquisition business, and (ii) expenses in oil and gas operations. General
and administrative expenses during the three-months ended June 30, 1997,
decreased to $280,956 compared with $330,323 during the comparable period in
1996. In addition, lease operating expenses from oil and gas operations during
the three-months ended June 30, 1997, totaled $98,386, an approximate 33%
decrease of such expenses during the comparable period in 1996.

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.


PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On July 18, 1997, the Registrant entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange
Agreement ( the "Purchase Agreement") with Blackhawk Investors, L.L.C. (the
"Blackhawk"), William R. Ziegler, an individual resident of the state of New

issue 100,000 shares of Registrant's Series B Preferred Stock, par value $10.00
per share (convertible into an aggregate of 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock).
The term of the Series B Preferred Stock are identical to the terms of the

automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on January 1, 1998. The
Letter Agreement also provides that the Registrant will issue to the Blackhawk
Group additional Shadow Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,172,051
shares of Common Stock.

All of the Shadow Warrants issued to the Blackhawk Group are exercisable only in
the event that certain warrants previously issued by the Registrant are
exercised in the future.

Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock,
the Registrant will have an aggregate of 14,686,621 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. In addition, the Registrant has outstanding (i) an aggregate of
7,049,973 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (at a weighted average
exercise price of $.80 per share), (ii) stock options held by executive officers
and employees to purchase an aggregate of 2,237,500 shares of Common Stock (at a
weighted average exercise price of $.81 per share), and (iii) Shadow Warrants to

share. In the event that all of the Registrant's outstanding Warrants, Stock
Options and Shadow Warrants were exercised, the Registrant would have an
aggregate of 32,178,450 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
