                              LOMAK PETROLEUM, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      ORGANIZATION:

         Lomak Petroleum, Inc. ("Lomak" or the "Company") is an independent oil
and gas company engaged in the acquisition, production, development and
exploration of oil and gas in the United States. Lomak's core areas of operation
are located in the Mid-Continent and Appalachia regions. Since January 1, 1990,
the Company has made 65 acquisitions at a total cost of over $215 million and
$26 million has been expended on development and exploration activities. As a
result, proved reserves and production have each grown during this period at a
rate in excess of 80% per annum. At December 31, 1995, proved reserves totaled
298 Bcfe, having a pre-tax present value at constant prices of $229 million and
a reserve life of nearly 12 years.

         Lomak's acquisition effort is focused on properties with prices of less
than $30 million within its core areas of operation. Management believes these
purchases are less competitive than those involving larger property interests.
To the extent purchases continue to be made primarily within existing core
areas, efficiencies in operations, drilling, marketing and administration should
be realized. In 1992, Lomak began to exploit its growing inventory of
development projects. In 1994, the Company initiated exploration activities. In
the future, Lomak expects its growth to be driven by a combination of
acquisitions and development and, to a lesser extent, exploration.

(2)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, all majority owned subsidiaries and its pro rata share of the assets,
liabilities, income and expenses of certain oil and gas properties. Temporary
investments with an initial maturity of ninety days or less are considered cash
equivalents.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

         The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting.
Exploratory costs which result in the discovery of reserves and the cost of
development wells are capitalized. Geological and geographical costs, delay
rentals and costs to drill unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed.
Depletion is provided on the unit-of-production method. Oil is converted to Mcfe
at the rate of six Mcf per barrel. The depletion rates per Mcfe produced were
$.73 and $.72 respectively, in the first quarters of 1995 and 1996.
Approximately $12.2 million and $12.3 million of oil and gas properties were
classified as proved undeveloped or unproved and, therefore, not subject to
depletion as of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively. These costs
are assessed periodically to determine whether their value has been impaired. If
they have, the amount of any impairment is expensed.

GAS TRANSPORTATION AND FIELD SERVICE ASSETS

         The Company owns and operates over 1,900 miles of gas gathering systems
in proximity to its principal gas properties. Depreciation is calculated on the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from four to
fifteen years.

         The Company receives fees for providing field related services. These
fees are recognized as earned. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line
method based on estimated useful lives ranging from one to five years, except
buildings which are being depreciated over ten to twenty-five years.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

         The Company operates in an environment with many financial risks,
including, but not limited to, the ability to acquire additional economically
recoverable oil and gas reserves, the inherent risks of the search for,
development of and production of oil and gas, the ability to sell oil and gas at
prices which will provide attractive rates of return, and the highly competitive
nature of the industry and worldwide economic conditions. The Company's ability
to expand its reserve base and diversify its operations is also dependent upon
the Company's ability to obtain the necessary capital through cash flow,
borrowings or equity funds.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The book value of
cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and payable and short term debt are
considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments. The Company believes that the carrying value of its
borrowings under its bank credit facility approximates their fair value as they
bear interest at rates indexed at Libor. The Company's accounts receivable are
concentrated in the oil and gas industry. The Company does not view such a
concentration as an unusual credit risk.

         Interest rate swap agreements, which are used by the Company in the
management of interest exposure, is accounted for on an accrual basis. Income
and expense resulting from these agreements are recorded in the same category as
expense arising from the related liability. Amounts to be paid or received under
interest rate swap agreements are recognized as an adjustment to expense in the
periods in which they accrue. At March 31, 1996, the Company had $40 million of
borrowings subject to two interest rate swap agreements at rates of 6.25% and
6.49% through July 1999 and October 1999, respectively.

         The Company uses futures, option and swap contracts to reduce the
effects of fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices. At March 31, 1996,
the Company had open contracts for natural gas price swaps in the amount of
100,000 Mmbtu's and open contract for oil price calls of 175,000 barrels. These
contracts expire monthly through September 1996. The resulting transaction gains
and losses are included in net income and are determined monthly. Net gains for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 approximated $55,000 relating to these
derivatives.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

         Net income per share is computed by subtracting preferred dividends
from net income and dividing by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding. The calculation of fully diluted earnings per
share assumes conversion of convertible securities when the result would be
dilutive. Outstanding options and warrants are included in the computation of
net income per common share when their effect is dilutive.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period presentations
to conform with current period classifications.

 (3)     ACQUISITIONS:

         Since 1990, the Company has acquired over $215 million of oil and gas
properties and field service assets. During 1995, the Company completed $71.1
million of acquisitions. In the first three months of 1996, acquisitions
totaling $18.2 million were completed. The purchases were funded by working
capital, advances under a revolving credit facility and the issuance of common
stock. These acquisitions are discussed below.

         1996 ACQUISITIONS

approve the merger of Red Eagle with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in
exchange for approximately 2.2 million shares of the Company's common stock. The
additional equity of Red Eagle acquired in February 1995 was reflected as
minority interest on the Company's balance sheet at December 31, 1994.
Acquisition costs of approximately $46.5 million were capitalized in regards to
this acquisition. Red Eagle's assets included interests in approximately 370
producing wells located primarily in the Okeene Field of Oklahoma's Anadarko
Basin. Subsequently, the Company acquired additional interests in 70 Red Eagle
wells for $1.7 million.

         The Company purchased interests in 52 wells in the Caddo and Canadian

these wells.

         Additional interests in properties acquired from Red Eagle in 1994 were
purchased for $3.2 million.

         The Company purchased interests in 140 wells located primarily in the
Big Lake Area of west Texas and the Laura LaVelle Field of east Texas for $2.8

         The Company maintains a $250 million revolving bank credit facility.
The facility provides for a borrowing base which is subject to semi-annual
redeterminations. At April 30, 1996, the borrowing base on the credit facility
was $150 million. The facility bears interest at prime rate or LIBOR plus 0.75%
to 1.25% depending upon the percentage of the borrowing base drawn. Interest is
payable quarterly and the loan is payable in sixteen quarterly installments
beginning February 1, 1999. A commitment fee of 3/8% of the undrawn balance is
payable quarterly. It is the Company's policy to extend the term period of the
credit facility annually. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings
were 7.6% and 6.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate gives effect to interest rate
swap arrangements which have the effect of fixing the interest rate on $40
million of the credit facility at a rate of 6.4%. The existing interest rate
swap arrangements will remain in effect through no less than July 1997 and no
longer than October 1999. The Company's other debt is comprised of secured
equipment financings.

         The debt agreements contain various covenants relating to net worth,
working capital maintenance and financial ratio requirements. Interest paid
during the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 totaled $1.1 million and
$658,000, respectively.

 (6)     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

         The Company is involved in various legal actions and claims arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation
and claims are likely to be resolved without material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

(7)      EQUITY SECURITIES

         In 1993, $5 million of 7-1/2% cumulative convertible exchangeable
preferred stock (the "7-1/2% Preferred Stock") was privately placed. In April
and May 1996, the Company exercised it's option and converted the 7-1/2%
Preferred Stock into 576,945 shares of Common Stock.

         In November 1995, the Company sold 1,150,000 shares of $2.03
convertible exchangeable preferred stock (the "$2.03 Preferred Stock") for $28.8
million. The $2.03 Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's common
stock at a conversion price of $9.50 per share, subject to adjustment in certain
events. The $2.03 Preferred Stock is redeemable, at the option of the Company,
at any time on or after November 1, 1998, at redemption prices beginning at
105%. At the option of the Company, the $2.03 Preferred Stock is exchangeable
for the Company's 8-1/8% convertible subordinated notes due 2005. The notes
would be subject to the same redemption and conversion terms as the $2.03
Preferred Stock.

         In December 1995, the Company privately placed 1.2 million shares of
its Common Stock for $10.2 million to a state employees retirement plan. In
April 1996, the Company privately placed 600,000 shares of its Common Stock to a
limited number of institutional investors for approximately $6.9 million.
Warrants to acquire 40,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31,
1996. The warrants have an exercise price of $7.50 per share and expire in
December 1996.

(8)      STOCK OPTION AND PURCHASE PLAN

         The Company maintains a Stock Option Plan which authorizes the grant of
options of up to 1.5 million shares of Common Stock. However, no new options may
be granted which would result in their being outstanding aggregate options
exceeding 10% of common shares outstanding plus those shares issuable under
convertible securities. Under the plan, incentive and non-qualified options may
be issued to officers, key employees and consultants. The plan is administered
by the Compensation Committee of the Board. All options issued under the plan
vest 30% after one year, 60% after two years and 100% after three years. During
the three months ended March 31, 1996, options covering 97,600 shares were
exercised at prices ranging from $3.38 to $8.25 per share. At March 31, 1996,
options covering a total of 1.2 shares were outstanding under the plan, of which
493,000 options were exercisable. The exercise prices of the outstanding options
range from $3.38 to $10.50.

         In 1994, the stockholders approved the 1994 Outside Directors Stock
Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"). Only Directors who are not employees of the
Company are eligible under the Directors Plan. The Directors Plan covers a
maximum of 200,000 shares. At March 31, 1996, 44,000 options were outstanding
under the Directors Plan of which 3,600 were exercisable as of that date. The
exercise price of the options ranges from $7.75 to $8.00 per share.

         In 1994, the stockholders approved the 1994 Stock Purchase Plan (the
"1994 Plan") which authorizes the sale of up to 500,000 shares of common stock
to officers, directors, key employees and consultants. Under the Plan, the right
to purchase shares at prices ranging from 50% to 85% of market value may be
granted. The Company had a 1989 Stock Purchase Plan (the "1989 Plan") which was
identical to the 1994 Plan except that it covered 333,333 shares. Upon adoption
of the 1994 Plan, the 1989 Plan was terminated. The plans are administered by
the Compensation Committee of the Board. During the three months ended March 31,
1996, the Company sold no unregistered common shares to officers and outside
directors. From inception of the 1989 Plan through March 31, 1996, a total of
388,000 unregistered shares had been sold, for a total consideration of
approximately $1.8 million at prices equal to 75% of market value at the time of
the sale.

(9)      BENEFIT PLAN

         The Company maintains a 401(K) Plan for the benefit of its employees.
The Plan permits employees to make contributions on a pre-tax salary reduction
basis. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the Plan. Company
contributions for 1995 totaled $346,000.

(10)     INCOME TAXES:

         In 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". As permitted by Statement 109, the Company elected not to restate
prior year financial statements. As a result of tax basis in excess of the basis
on the financial statements at January 1, 1993, the Company estimated deferred
tax assets of $2.6 million and deferred tax liabilities of $900,000, for net
deferred tax assets of $1.7 million. Due to uncertainty as to the Company's
ability to realize the tax benefit, a valuation allowance was established for
the full amount of the net deferred tax assets. In 1993 and 1994, income taxes
were reduced from the statutory rate of 34% by approximately $.5 million and $.3
million, respectively, through realization of the valuation allowance that was
established.

         During 1993, the Company acquired Mark Resources Corporation, in a
taxable combination accounted for as a purchase. Deferred tax assets of $3.9
million and a deferred tax liability of $8.1 million were recorded in the
transaction. During 1994, the Company acquired Gillring Oil Company and Grand
Banks Energy Company, taxable combinations accounted for as purchases. Deferred
tax assets of $3.5 million and deferred tax liabilities of $3.4 million were
recorded in these transactions. In late 1994, the Company acquired Red Eagle
Resources Corporation, a taxable combination accounted for as a purchase.
Deferred tax liabilities of $12.3 million and deferred tax assets of $.3 million
were recorded in this transaction.

         For the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company made a
provision for federal income taxes of $117,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had available for federal income tax reporting
purposes net operating loss carryovers of approximately $13.3 million which are
subject to annual limitations as to their utilization and expire between 1996
and 2010. The Company has alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryovers
of $8.2 million which are subject to annual limitations as to their utilization
and expire from 1996 to 2009. The Company has statutory depletion carryover of
approximately $8.5 million and an alternative minimum tax credit carryover of
$500,000. The statutory depletion carryover and alternative minimum tax credit
carryover are not subject to limitation or expiration.

(11)     MAJOR CUSTOMERS:

         The Company markets its oil and gas production on a competitive basis.
The type of contract under which gas production is sold varies but can generally
be grouped into three categories: (a) life-of-the-well; (b) long-term (1 year or
longer); and (c) short-term contracts which may have a primary term of one year,
but which are cancelable at either party's discretion in 30-120 days.
Approximately 58% of the Company's gas production is currently sold under market
sensitive contracts which do not contain floor price provisions. For the three
months ended March 31, 1996, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's total oil and gas revenues. Oil is sold on a basis such that the
purchaser can be changed on 30 days notice. The price received is generally
equal to a posted price set by the major purchasers in the area. Oil is sold on
a basis of price and service.

         The Company has currently hedged less than 3% of its production through
September 1996. These hedges involve fixed price arrangements and other price
arrangements at a variety of prices, floors and caps. Although these hedging
activities provide the Company some protection against falling prices, these
activities also reduce the potential benefits to the Company of price increases
above the levels of the hedges.

 (13)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

         In April 1996, the Company completed an oil and gas property
acquisition for $35.9 million. Approximately 90% of the reserves are in Texas,
Oklahoma and New Mexico with the remainder in the Rocky Mountains. The
properties acquired include 270 producing wells and 17,800 net undeveloped
acres. The acquired properties as of December 31, 1995 were estimated to contain
proved reserves of 72.9 Bcfe.

 (14) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         Mr. Edelman, Chairman of the Company, is also an executive officer and
shareholder of Snyder Oil Corporation ("SOCO"). At March 31, 1996, Mr. Edelman
owned 6.0% of the Company's common stock. In 1995, the Company acquired SOCO's
interest in certain wells located in Appalachia for $4 million. The price was
determined based on arms-length negotiations through a third-party broker
retained by SOCO. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company and SOCO no longer
hold interests in any of the same properties.

         During 1995, the Company incurred fees of $145,000 to the Hawthorne
Company in connection with acquisitions. Mr. Aikman, a director of the Company,
is an executive officer and a principal owner of the Hawthorne Company. The fees
were consistent with those paid by the Company to third parties for similar
services.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      ------------------------------------
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ------------------------------------------------

FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company reached
$232.2 million of assets and increased stockholders' equity to $101.1 million.
The growth was achieved primarily through acquisitions and development. Net
income for the first quarter of 1996 increased 227% to $2.6 million versus
$795,000 in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to higher
production volumes attributable to acquisitions and development and higher
product prices. Working capital at March 31, 1996 was $4.3 million.
During the quarter, long-term debt rose from $83.0 million to $95.1 million.

         At March 31, 1996, capitalization totaled $215.3 million, of which 47%
was represented by stockholders' equity and 44% by long-term debt. Essentially
all of the long-term debt is comprised of borrowings under a $250 million
revolving bank credit facility. The facility currently provides for quarterly
payments of interest with principal payments beginning February 1999. In April
1996, the Company completed a $6.9 million private placement of common stock.
The proceeds were used to fund a portion of a $35.9 million acquisition which
was completed during April. The remaining portion of the acquisition was funded
by borrowings under the Company's existing revolving credit facility. In April
and May 1996, the Company exercised its option to convert the 7-1/2% Preferred
Stock into approximately 577,000 shares of common stock.

         For the three months ended March 31, 1996 operating cash flow totaled
$9.4 million, a 133% increase over the prior year period. Cash flow plus bank
borrowings funded $20.2 million of acquisitions and development expenditures.
Approximately $7 million of the bank borrowings were repaid in April 1996 with
the proceeds received from the private placement of common stock. The Company
expects to continue to fund its activities from internally generated funds,
borrowings under its credit facility and the issuance of debt and equity
securities. During the next twelve months, non-discretionary capital
requirements include $2.4 million of preferred dividends and interest on the
Company's credit facility. Additionally, the Company expects to continue its
acquisition and development activities in 1996. Although these expenditures are
principally discretionary, the Company estimates that it will spend
approximately $15 million on development activities in 1996, of which $2 million
was incurred in the first three months. Cash flow is expected to be more than
sufficient to fund development expenditures with the remainder available to fund
acquisitions. In 1994, the Company instituted a program to repurchase its common
stock from stockholders who own less than 100 shares. From inception of the
program, through March 31, 1996 approximately 37,800 shares had been repurchased
for $310,700.

         All oil and gas properties are subject to production declines over
time. Through acquisitions, the Company has increased its reserves in each of
the last five years. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to build
reserves primarily through acquisitions and development over the next several
years. The profitability of production and, to a lesser extent, other areas of
the Company's business are influenced by energy prices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company reported net income for the three months ended March 31,
1996 of $2.6 million a 227% increase over first quarter 1995. The increase is
the result of higher production volumes, higher product prices and lower unit
costs.

         During the quarter, oil and gas production volumes increased 84% to 6.5
Bcfe, an average of 72,000 Mcfe per day. Production revenues also benefited from
an 18% increase in the average price received per Mcfe of production from $2.09
to $2.46. The average oil price increased from $16.36 to $17.43 per barrel while
average gas prices increased 30% from $1.78 to $2.32 per Mcf. As a result of a
larger base of producing properties, operating expenses increased 83% to $3.2
million. However, the operating cost per Mcfe produced decreased slightly from
$.89 in 1995 to $.88 in 1996.

         Gas transportation and marketing revenues rose 31% to $1.0 million
versus $786,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The higher revenues were due
primarily to expanded marketing activities and increased gas transportation
revenues attributable to its larger pipeline network. The increase in gas
transportation and marketing expenses of 46% reflects higher administration
costs associated with the growth in gas marketing.

         Field services revenues increased 34% in the first quarter of 1996 to
$3.3 million. The higher revenues were due primarily to a larger base of
operated properties. As a result of the increased revenues field services
expenses increased 58% in the first quarter of 1996 versus 1995. Exploration
expense increased 38% due to the Company's increased involvement in acreage
acquisition, seismic and exploratory drilling.

         General and administrative expenses increased 21% from $758,000 in 1995
to $918,000 in 1996. On a per Mcfe of production basis, general and
administrative expenses decreased from $.21 in the first quarter of 1995 to $.14
for the same period in 1996. Interest and other income decreased 57% primarily
due to a lower level of property sales. Interest expense increased 34% to $1.6
million as a result of the higher average outstanding debt balance during the
period due to the financing of acquisitions.

         Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense rose 76% as a result
of increased production volumes. The impact of higher volumes was offset by a
reduction in the depletion rate to $.72 per Mcfe in the first quarter of 1996.
