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

GENERAL

      At September 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. and (ii) the
seismic data processing, software and consultation services being provided by
Geophysical Development Corporation.

      On October 1, 1999 the Company completed a restructuring of its
$40,000,000 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due April 2005 (the "Prior Notes") and
received an additional $4,000,000 from the holders of the Prior Notes and
$1,000,000 from other investors. The restructuring involved the Company
exchanging the Prior Notes for its 13.5% Senior Secured Notes Due 2005 in the
aggregate principal amount of $45,358,000 (the 2005 Notes) and the Company
issued $5,000,000 of its 13.5% Senior Secured Notes Due 2002 (the 2002 Notes)
for the additional funding received on October 1, 1999. The Company granted
security interests covering substantially all of its assets as security for the
2005 Notes and 2002 Notes and caused certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to
execute guaranties of the 2005 Notes and the 2002 Notes. Concurrently, the
Company also completed a restructuring of its debt obligations to its principal
equipment supplier for the Company's seismic acquisition operations.

      The Company's financial results continue to be negatively 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 continues to
take steps to reduce its operating expenses in response to weakened demand for
its services. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company operated
two seismic acquisition crews, although neither crew operated on a continuous
basis. The Company anticipates that demand for its seismic acquisition and
seismic data processing services will remain weak during the fourth quarter of
1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $11,008,747 as
compared to $23,540,433 for the same period of fiscal 1998, a decrease of 53%.
For the three months ended September 30, 1999 revenues totaled $2,938,537 as
compared to 9,548,162 for the same period of fiscal 1998, a decrease of 69%.
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.

                                      8
<PAGE>
      Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were
$10,371,622 as compared to $13,314,577 for the same period of fiscal 1998, a
decrease of 22%. For the three month period ended September 30, 1999 operating
expenses decreased from $6,112,367 in 1998 to $2,739,640 in 1999, a decrease of
55%. The decrease in operating expenses is a result of the Company's ongoing
efforts to reduce its costs by implementing staff reductions and limiting third
party expenditures as well as a continued weakening in demand for the Company's
services.

      General and Administrative expenses for the nine month period ended
September 30, decreased from $3,513,307 in 1998 to $2,141,392 in 1999, a
decrease of 39%. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, General and
Administrative expenses totaled $651,138 as compared to $1,281,319 for the same
period of fiscal 1998, a decrease of 49%. 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 $2,080,317 for the nine month period
ended September 1998.

      Depreciation and Amortization expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 totaled $7,780,667, an increase of $3,035,649 from the same period of
fiscal 1998. This increase is a result of purchases of seismic acquisition
equipment 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 nine months ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $5,470,784 as compared to $3,177,752 for the period
ending September 30, 1998, an increase of 72%. For the three month period ending
September 30, 1999 interest expense totaled $2,292,764, an increase of 49% from
the same period of fiscal 1998. On October 1, 1999, the Company completed a
restructuring of its $40,000,000 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 by
exchanging those notes for its 13.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2005. This
restructuring resulted in the Company recognizing an additional $758,000 one
time charge to interest expense during the third quarter of 1999. This
transaction is responsible for the 49% increase in interest expense during the
third quarter of 1999.

      During the third quarter of 1999, the Company disposed of its oil and gas
properties. This transaction resulted in a one time charge of $565,345.

      The Company had a net loss of $15,355,459, or ($0.79) per share, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to net loss of $3,590,026, or
($0.19) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. For the three
months ended September 30, 1999 the Company had a net loss of $5,906,760, or
($0.31) per share, as compared to a net loss of $3,935,377, or ($0.20) per
share, for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The Company's overall
results continue to be negatively effected by the continuing downturn in the oil
service sector which has caused a significant reduction in the demand for the
Company's services.

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 completed a restructuring of this debt on October 1, 1999.

      At September 30, 1999, the Company had cash balances of $2,221,025. The
Company believes this cash, the additional cash received in its October 1, 1999
debt restructuring and anticipated cash flow from its seismic acquisition and
data processing operations will be sufficient to meet the working capital
requirements of its seismic acquisition and data processing operations for the
immediate future.

      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.

                          PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

      On October 1, 1999, the Company completed a restructuring of its
$40,000,000 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due April 2005. The notes were held by
an Investment Group led by DLJ Investment Partners, L.P. ("Investment Group").
The Company exchanged its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due April 2005 for its
13.5% Senior Secured Notes Due 2005 in an aggregate principal amount of
$45,358,000, representing both principal and past due interest (the 2005 Notes).
In addition, the Company received $4,000,000 from the Investment Group and an
additional $1,000,000 from other investors for a total infusion of $5,000,000.
In exchange for these additional funds, the Company issued $5,000,000 of its
13.5% Senior Secured Notes Due 2002 (the 2002 Notes). The Company granted
security interests covering substantially all of the Company's assets as
security for the 2005 Notes and the 2002 Notes and caused certain of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries to execute guaranties of the 2005 Notes and the 2002
Notes. Concurrently, the Company also completed a restructuring of its debt
obligations to its principal equipment supplier for the Company's seismic
acquisition operations.

                                      10

      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 discontinuance of the Company's 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.
