                  Pro Forma Financial Statement Information

ACQUISITIONS

On April 30, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Geophysical
Development Corporation (GDC) pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase
Agreement, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the shares of the outstanding
common stock of GDC in exchange for $26,000,000 in cash and 1,000,000
newly-issued shares of the Company's common stock. GDC is engaged in the
business of providing seismic data processing, software and consultation
services to the oil and gas industry.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of
operations of GDC are included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date of acquisition, April 30, 1998. The following represents the unaudited pro
forma results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning
of the first quarter of 1998, and therefore includes the results of operations
of GDC during the periods January 1, 1998 through March 31, 1998 for the first
quarter and April 1, 1998 through April 30, 1998 on a pro forma basis for the
second quarter. In addition to combining the historical results of operations of
the two companies, the pro forma calculations include amortization of goodwill.
Excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired of $27,961,807 is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

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


GENERAL

      At June 30, 1999, the Company's financial position reflects (i) the
seismic acquisition services being conducted by Quantum Geophysical, Inc.,
Signature Geophysical Services, Inc. and Reliable Exploration, Inc., (ii) the
seismic data processing, software and consultation services being provided by
Geophysical Development Corporation, and (iii) the Company's ongoing oil and gas
operations.

      The Company's financial results continue to be severely impacted by the
ongoing downturn in the oil service industry. This downturn resulted from the
deterioration of the price of oil which occurred in mid 1998 and continued into
early 1999. While there has been a continuing increase in the price of oil, in
relation to where it was in early 1999, the demand for the services provided by
the Company has not as yet been positively affected. The Company has taken steps
to reduce its operating expenses in response to weakened demand for its
services. During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company operated two
crews, although only one was operating on a continuous basis. The Company
anticipates that demand for its seismic acquisition and seismic data processing
services will remain weak during the next fiscal quarter.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $8,289,306 as
compared to $14,209,406 for the same period of fiscal 1998, a decrease of 42%.
For the three months ended June 30, 1999 revenues totaled $3,208,380 as compared
to $8,410,898 for the same period of fiscal 1998, a decrease of 62%. The Company
entered the seismic data processing business by acquiring Geophysical
Development Corporation (GDC) on April 30, 1998. Revenues for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998, on a pro forma basis, would have been $20,216,945
had the Company acquired GDC at the beginning of 1998. On this basis, 1999 six
month revenues declined by 60% from the levels attained during the same period
of fiscal 1998. Revenues declined not only due to a weakened demand for the
Company's services but also due to a significant reduction in the pricing that
the Company is able to charge its customers for the services it is currently
providing.

      Operating expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 were
$7,761,157 as compared to $7,352,447 for the same period of fiscal 1998, an
increase of 6%. For the three month period ended June 30, operating expenses
decreased from $4,395,492 in 1998 to $3,485,060 in 1999, a decrease of 21%.
Operating expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, on a pro forma
basis, would have been $9,609,882 had the GDC acquisition occurred on January 1,
1998. On this basis, 1999 operating expenses for the six months ended June 30
decreased 19% from the same period in 1998. During this quarter, the Company
continued in its effort to reduce its operating expenditures by implementing
additional staff reductions and limiting third party expenditures.

                                       10
<PAGE>
      General and Administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
decreased from $2,368,408 in 1998 to $1,648,916 in 1999, a decrease of 30%. For
the three months ended June 30, 1999 General and Administrative expenses totaled
$775,759 as compared to $1,244,315 for the same period of fiscal 1998, a
decrease of 38%. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company reclassified
certain costs previously recorded as General and Administrative expenses, to
better reflect seismic industry standards. If this reclassification had occurred
at the beginning of fiscal 1998, General and Administrative expenses would have
been $1,481,917 for the six month period ended June 1998. General and
Administrative expenses for the six months ended June 1998, on a pro forma
basis, would have been $1,851,050 had the GDC acquisition occurred on January
1, 1998. On this basis, 1999 General and Administrative expenses decreased 11%.

      Depreciation and Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30,
1999 totaled $5,191,943, an increase of $2,681,447 from the same period of
fiscal 1998. This increase is a result of continuing seismic acquisition
equipment purchases during 1998 and the purchase of GDC in April of 1998, which
created significant additional amortization of goodwill.

      Interest expense (net of interest income) for the six months ended June
30, 1999 totaled $3,135,989 as compared to $1,632,735 for the period ending June
30, 1998, an increase of 92%. For the three month period ending June 30, 1999
interest expense totaled $1,536,484, an increase of 29% from the same period of
fiscal 1998. This increase in interest expense is a result of the Company's
closing a $40,000,000 12% senior subordinated financing, due 2005, during April
of 1998. The proceeds from this financing were utilized to acquire GDC and
purchase additional seismic acquisition equipment. Interest expense for the six
month period ended June 30, 1998, on a pro forma basis, would have been
$3,453,739 had the GDC acquisition occurred on January 1, 1998. On this basis,
1999 interest expense for the six months ended June 30 decreased 9% from the
same period in 1998.

      The Company had a net loss of $9,448,699, or ($0.49) per share, for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to net income of $345,320, or $0.02
per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1998. For the three months ended
June 30, 1999 the Company had a net loss of $5,188,492, or ($0.27) per share, as
compared to a net loss of $36,533, or ($0.002) per share, for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. This result is due primarily to the continuing weak demand
for the Company's services as well as increased interest costs, depreciation
expense and amortization of goodwill associated with the Company's 1998
acquisitions and expansion of its seismic acquisition fleet.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      In December of 1998 the Company temporarily suspended principal payments
on approximately $9.9 million of indebtedness owed to its principal equipment
supplier. The Company and such supplier are currently conducting negotiations to
restructure the Company's

                                       11
<PAGE>
indebtedness and the Company believes that a satisfactory restructuring of the
debt will be completed by September 15, 1999.

      At June 30, 1999 the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$9,509,105 which includes the current portion of long-term debt of $3,513,505.
At June 30, 1998 the Company had working capital of $2,018,016.

      On June 30, the Company had cash balances of $1,620,318. The Company
believes this cash, anticipated cash flow from its seismic acquisition and data
processing operations will be sufficient to meet the working capital
requirements of its seismic acquistion and data processing operations for the
immediate future. The Company is negotiating with its senior subordinated
noteholders on a debt restructuring agreement and is also seeking to make a
private placement of senior debt for its ongoing working capital requirements.

      The Company's ability to expand its business operations is dependent upon
the availability of internally generated cash flow and external financing
activities. Such financing may consist of bank or commercial debt, 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 uncertainties regarding 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.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

      On April 30, 1998, the Company issued Senior Subordinated Notes in the
original principal amount of $40,000,000 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") to a
group of nine investors. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate
of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually. On April 20, May 7 and May 21, 1999,
the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes granted the Company extensions of
the payment date for the semi-annual interest payment of $2,400,000 which was
originally due to be paid on April 15, 1999. The third such extension expired on
June 1, 1999. The Company has not paid the interest payment originally due on
April 15, 1999. Since June 1, 1999, the Company has been negotiating with the
holders of its Senior Subordinated Notes to restructure certain terms of that
indebtedness. The holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes have taken no action
to declare a default or accelerate the payment of the Senior Subordinated Notes.
Although the Company believes that it has reached a tentative agreement on the
terms of a restructuring of the Senior Subordinated Notes which will be
completed by September 15, 1999, there can be no assurance that a successful
restructuring will be completed by such date.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

      The Company conducts field operations in states under whose statutes
certain of the services provided by the Company may be subject to state sales
tax. The Company's financial statements currently reflect a liability of
$142,734 for such taxes arising from prior operations of a subsidiary. The
Company has determined that its subsidiary collected sales taxes from customers
and failed, in certain instances, to remit such taxes to the appropriate taxing
authorities. The Company is in the process of making the necessary tax filings
and intends to pursue the former owners of the subsidiary for the entire
liability which the subsidiary is obligated to pay.

      On July 28, 1999 the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of HOC
Operating Co., Inc., a wholly-owed subsidiary of the Company, to Halex Oil
Corporation pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase agreement. This
transaction completes the Company's discontinuance of its oil and gas
operations.

      The Company is evaluating the impact of the year 2000 on its computer
systems in both operating and financial applications and has developed an action
plan which includes a task force to evaluate the Company's major vendors' year
2000 compliance. The Company is in the process of installing a new, previously
planned general ledger system that will be year 2000 compliant. The Company
believes the impact of the year 2000 and related costs of compliance will not
have any material impact on its operations or liquidity.
