Item 2.  Disposition of Assets

         On December 18, 1997 HarCor Energy, Inc. (the "Registrant" and the
"Company") announced that it had reached a definitive agreement for the sale of
all of its oil and gas assets located outside of California (the
"Non-California Assets") to an undisclosed buyer for $13.2 million in cash.
This sale is being made pursuant to the bifurcation of the Company's sales
process and in conjunction with ongoing efforts to effect the sale of the whole
Company as previously announced.  Closing is subject to customary title and
environmental due diligence and is anticipated to occur by January 15, 1998.
The Company anticipates recording an estimated gain of approximately $2.9
million upon closing of the sale.  No capital gains taxes are anticipated to be
incurred due to the Company's current net operating loss carry-forwards.

         The Non-California Assets consist of (i) all of the Company's proved
developed producing, proved undeveloped, probable and possible reserves in New
Mexico, Texas, Alabama and Louisiana; (ii) all of the Company's leasehold
interests, working interests in wells currently drilling, seismic data and the
associated resale rights, and participation rights in those exploration
agreements in its 3-D and 2-D exploration activities in the Hostetter area of
South Texas, Reeves County in the West Texas-Permian Basin, the Lapeyrouse area
of Louisiana, Polaris Joint Venture and the Gulf Coast Frio AVO Program; and
(iii) certain miscellaneous royalty and net-profits interests in various states
previously referred to by the Company as the Fund I Royalty Interests.

         Based on a recent engineering reserve study performed by the Company's
independent petroleum engineers, the oil and gas reserves being sold pursuant
to this transaction consist of 1,634,000 barrels of oil and 8,553 MMcf of gas
with a current 10% present value of $14,836,000. This value is based on flat
projected pricing of the recent average 12 month forward pricing of $19.15 per
barrel and $2.50 per MMBtu, with adjustments for quality and location.
Included in this value is proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves consisting of
1,390,000 barrels of oil and 3,778 MMcf of gas with a 10% present value of
$8,774,000. Average daily production relating to these properties during the
third quarter of 1997 was 213 BOPD and 4,897 Mcfd as reported.

         Pursuant to the terms of its 14-7/8% Senior Secured Notes ("Senior
Notes") indenture and an intercreditor agreement, the Company is required to
use the cash proceeds received upon closing of the sale of assets to
immediately repay, to the extent required by its lenders, its indebtedness
outstanding under its revolving credit facility.  To the extent there are
excess cash proceeds remaining after fulfillment of this obligation, or if the
Company's lender waives this obligation, excess cash proceeds or total cash
proceeds (as the case may be) from a sale of assets must be used to make an
offer to redeem a like amount of Senior Notes from the





                                      -1-
<PAGE>   3
holders thereof at a cost equal to the face value of the Senior Notes.

         The Company has received initial indications from its lender that it
will not require the Company to repay indebtedness outstanding under its
revolving credit facility and has requested a waiver of this obligation.
Accordingly, upon closing of the sale the Company will immediately commence an
offer to redeem $13.2 million of its outstanding Senior Notes from the holders
thereof at a cost equal to the face value of the Senior Notes.  The holders of
the Senior Notes are not required to accept said offer and there can be no
assurances that they will do so.

(ii)   The use of the sales proceeds to redeem a like amount of the Company's
       14-7/8% Senior Secured Notes as required pursuant to the terms of an
       indenture agreement (the "Note Redemption") and assuming that a
       sufficient number of the holders of the Senior Notes accept the Notes
       Redemption offer by the Company equivalent to $13.2 million;
     
(iii)  The reduction of historical revenues and expenses directly related to the
       Non-California Assets as previously reported for the periods
       presented;
     
(iv)   The reduction of historical interest expense and associated
       amortization of deferred financing costs and note accretion directly
       related to the Note Redemption as described in item (ii) of $13.2
       million of the Senior Notes;
     
(v)    The estimated reduction of other direct expenses resulting from the
       sale of the Non-California Assets.

         The unaudited pro forma balance sheet data are presented as if the
sale of the Non-California Assets and related financings occurred on September

Assets as previously reported in the Company's audited and unaudited financial
statements; along with pro forma adjustments, estimates and assumptions deemed
by the Company to be appropriate.  This unaudited pro forma financial

occurred if the disposition of Non-California Assets had occurred as presented
in such statements or which may be obtained in the future.

include the following adjustments:

(a)      To record the sale of the Non-California Assets for $13,200,000 cash
and an estimated gain of $2,981,000 at September 30, 1997;

(b)      To record the redemption of $13,200,000 of the Senior Notes pursuant
to the terms of an indenture agreement and to write-off an amount of deferred
financing costs pertaining thereto;

(c)      To reduce historical oil and gas sales revenues, production expenses
and depletion, depreciation and amortization expense directly related to the
Non-California Assets as previously reported;

(d)      To record the estimated reduction of Engineering, Geological and G & A
expenses resulting from the sale of the Non-California Assets;

(e)      To reduce historical interest expense and associated amortization of
deferred financing costs and note accretion directly related to the Senior

(f)  The Company does not anticipate any capital gains taxes resulting from the
sale of the Non-California Assets due to its net operating loss carry forwards.

                        HARCOR ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES
                             DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
                      FOR SALE OF NON-CALIFORNIA ASSETS

        December 18, 1997; Houston, Texas--HarCor Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ/NMS:
HARC) announced today the execution of a definitive agreement for the sale of
its non-California assets for $13.2 million to an undisclosed buyer. The
purchase price represents cash proceeds of approximately $0.81 per HarCor
share. Effective date for the transaction is 1/1/98, and closing is anticipated
to occur on 1/15/98. Closing is subject to customary title and environmental due
diligence. The Company currently anticipates booking a $3 million gain on this
transaction. No capital gains taxes are anticipated on the sale due to offset
of HarCor's existing net operating loss carry forwards.

        The sale was made pursuant to the bifurcation of HarCor's sales
process. HarCor is continuing discussions with remaining suitors for its
California properties.


        HarCor Energy is a Houston-based independent energy company pursuing
risk-managed oil and gas acquisitions for future exploitation.
