ITEM 5.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
                  -------------------------------------

         The Company acquired oil and gas properties and equipment located in
West Texas, South Texas and the Gulf of Mexico (the "Cometra Properties") from
Cometra Energy, L.P., Cometra Production Company, L.P. and Rockland, L.P.
(collectively "Cometra") for a purchase price of $385 million (the "Cometra
Acquisition"). The Cometra Acquisition increased the Company's proved reserves
at December 31, 1996 by 68% to 644 Bcfe and increased its Present Value by 98%
to $974 million. The Cometra Properties, located primarily in the Company's core
operating areas, include 515 producing wells, 401 proven development projects
and substantial additional development and exploration potential on
approximately 150,000 gross acres (90,000 net acres). In addition, the Cometra
Properties include 265 miles of gas pipelines, a 25,000 Mcf/d gas processing
plant and an above-market gas contract with a major Texas gas utility covering
approximately 30% of the December 1996 production from the Cometra Properties.

         The purchase price for the Cometra Acquisition was approximately $385
million, consisting of $355 million in cash and 1,410,106 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The Company financed the cash portion of the purchase
price with $221 million of borrowings under a recently expanded bank credit
facility (the "Credit Agreement") and the issuance to Cometra of a $134 million
non-interest bearing promissory note due March 31, 1997, which is secured by a
bank letter of credit. The promissory note will be repaid at maturity through
borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement permits the Company
to obtain revolving credit loans and issue letters of credit from time to time
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $400 million initially. Availability under
the credit agreement will be reduced to $325 million on August 13, 1997, unless
otherwise agreed to by the lenders.

         The foregoing description of the above described transaction is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase and Sale Agreements,
which are being filed herewith as Exhibits 1and 2 and are fully incorporated by
reference herein.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
LOMAK PETROLEUM, INC.:


         We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and direct
operating expenses of the American Cometra Interests, as described in Note 1,
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996. These financial statements
are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses
reflect the revenues and direct operating expenses attributable to the American
Cometra Interests, as described in Note 1, and are not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenues and expenses of the American Cometra Interests.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the American Cometra
Interests, as described in Note 1, for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995
and 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         THE AMERICAN COMETRA INTERESTS

                         NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES
                          AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

(1)      GENERAL:

Organization

         The accompanying statements present the revenues and direct operating
expenses of certain working and other interests in oil and gas properties and
the Sterling gas plant and related pipeline owned by American Cometra, Inc. (the
"American Cometra Interests") which were purchased by Lomak Petroleum, Inc.
("Lomak"). Such financial statements were derived from the historical records of
the predecessor owner and represent Lomak's interest.

Basis of Presentation

         The historical financial statements reflecting financial position,
results of operations and cash flows required by generally accepted accounting
principles are not presented, as such information is neither readily available
on an individual property basis nor meaningful for the American Cometra
Interests. During the periods presented, the American Cometra Interests were not
accounted for as a separate entity. These statements do not include
depreciation, depletion and amortization, general and administrative, interest,
federal income tax expenses, or federal income tax credits allowed under Section
29 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the results of
operations of the American Cometra Interests in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Revenue Recognition

         Revenues are recognized when oil and gas production is sold. Direct
operating expenses are accrued when services are provided. Netted against
marketing and gas plant operating activities is $9,758,300, $7,700,000 and
$11,478,400 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively,
relating to costs associated with those activities.

Use of Estimates

         Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
the reporting of revenues and direct operating expenses to prepare these
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2)      SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS:

         For the year ended  December 31, 1994,  1995 and 1996 four  purchasers
accounted for 33%, 54% and 74% of total revenues, respectively.

OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION

         The estimates of the American Cometra Interests in proved oil and gas
reserves, which are located entirely in the United States, are based on
evaluations by an independent petroleum engineer, Netherland, Sewell &
Associates as of December 31, 1996. These reserves were estimated in accordance
with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission which
require that reserve reports be prepared under existing economic and operating
conditions with no provision for price escalations except by contractual
arrangements. Reserves as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 were derived from the
December 31, 1996 reserve estimates after considering historical production and
drilling activities.

         Lomak's management emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently
imprecise. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future
information becomes available.

         The following unaudited table sets forth the estimated proved oil and
gas reserve quantities of the American Cometra Interests at December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996:

to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves" (Standardized Measure) is a disclosure
requirement under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69. The
Standardized Measure does not purport to present the fair market value of proved
oil and gas reserves.

This would require consideration of expected future economic and operating
conditions, which are not taken into account in calculating the Standardized
Measure.

         Future net cash flows for the period presented were derived from the
December 31, 1996 reserve estimate after considering historical production and
drilling activities. December 31, 1996 prices in the reserve estimates were
adjusted for fixed and determinable escalations to the estimated future
production less estimated future production costs based on period-end costs and
future development costs. Future net cash inflows were discounted using a 10%
annual discount rate to arrive at the Standardized Measure. Future income tax
estimates are not included, as the historical tax basis of the properties is not
relevant.

         The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating
to proved oil and gas properties is as follows:

                NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE (1) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE TRANSACTIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER
31, 1996


     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for
the year ended December 31, 1996 has been prepared as if the Transactions had
occurred on January 1, 1996 and reflects the following adjustments:

(a) To reclassify gas transportation and marketing revenue and expenses to
conform with the accounting presentation followed by the Company.

(b) To adjust interest expense for the estimated amount that would have been
incurred on the incremental borrowings for the Bannon Acquisition and the
Cometra Acquisition and net of proceeds received from the Private Placements. A
1/8% per annum increase in interest rate would decrease the Company's income
before taxes by $392,000.

(c) To record depletion expense for the Bannon Acquisition and the Cometra
Acquisition at a rate of $0.87 per Mcfe, which would have been the rate in
effect for 1996 had such acquisitions taken place at January 1, 1996.
Additionally, to record depreciation expense on the gas processing plant
purchased in the Cometra Acquisition.

(d) To adjust the provision for income taxes for the change in taxable income
resulting from the Bannon Acquisition, the Cometra Acquisition and the Private
Placements and the effect on deferred taxes recorded at January 1, 1996 as if
such transactions had taken place at that time.


NOTE (2) PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE COMETRA ACQUISITION, AS OF DECEMBER 31,
1996

(e) To record the Cometra Acquisition.
