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

                       (Three Months Ended March 31, 1998)

GENERAL

         At March 31, 1998, the Company's financial position reflects (i) the
Company's ongoing oil and gas operations, and (ii) the seismic services being
conducted by Quantum Geophysical, Inc., Signature Geophysical Services, Inc. and
Reliable Exploration, Inc. On January 26, 1998, the Company completed the
acquisition of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Reliable Exploration,
Inc., a Billings, Montana-based provider of 3-D seismic acquisition services.
The Company is presently operating four seismic acquisition crews, consisting of
two Input/Output, Inc. System Two's and two Texas Instruments DFSV crews, with a
total seismic recording capacity of approximately 7,000 channels. All of the
Company's crews are operating in the United States, with two performing seismic
acquisition services in the Gulf Coast region and two performing such services
in the Rocky Mountain region. It is the Company's intention to field a fifth
seismic crew, with recording capacity of 3,000 channels, during the second
quarter of 1998. This will be accomplished by purchasing additional equipment
from Input/Output, Inc.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's revenues increased significantly from $183.5 thousand to
$5.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was
attributable to seismic acquisition services which totaled $5.7 million during
the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $0 in 1997. Revenues
attributable to oil and gas sales were down marginally.

         Operating expenses during the three month period increased from $60
thousand in 1997 to $3.0 million in 1998. The increase came about from seismic
acquisition operating expenses of $2.9 million in the current quarter, as
compared to $0 in the same quarter a year ago. Depreciation and amortization
increased from $20 thousand to $898 thousand due primarily to acquisitions of
operating companies and increases in capital expenditures over the last nine
months associated with the Company's seismic acquisition activities. General and
administrative expenses increased from $198 thousand in the first quarter of
1997 to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1998 due to significant personnel
increases and costs associated with the repositioning of the Company as a
provider of seismic acquisition services to the oil and gas industry. Interest
expense increased from $187 thousand to $460 thousand. The increased interest
cost is a result primarily from additional equipment financing required for the
growth of the Company's seismic acquisition activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The seismic acquisition industry is capital intensive and the Company
will need to raise additional capital to implement its business strategy. The
cost of sophisticated seismic acquisition equipment has increased significantly
over the last several years. The Company's ability to expand its business
operations is dependent upon the availability of internally generated cash flow
and external financing alternatives. Such financing may consist of bank or
commercial debt, forward sales of production, equity or debt securities or any
combination thereof. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in obtaining additional financing when required. Any substantial
alteration or increase in the Company's capitalization through the issuance of
debt or equity securities or otherwise may significantly decrease the financial
flexibility of the Company. Due to the uncertainties respecting the changing
market for seismic services, technological changes, and other matters associated
with the Company's operations, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of
any financing that it may need to acquire, upgrade and maintain seismic
equipment and continue its diversification as a full-scale geotechnology
enterprise. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing when needed, it
will be forced to curtail its business objectives, and to finance its business
activities with only such internally generated funds as may then be available.

         At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash balances of $1.0 million. The
Company feels this cash and the anticipated cash flow from its seismic
acquisition operations are sufficient to meet the working capital requirements
of its seismic acquisition operations for the foreseeable future.
