                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
   South Texas Drilling & Exploration, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
   All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
   in consolidation.

2.     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
   have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
   principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
   Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
   include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
   accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
   management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
   considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

3.     The Company uses the asset and liability method of Statement 109 for
   accounting for income taxes.  Pursuant to this method, deferred tax assets
   and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
   to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
   assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets
   and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
   taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
   expected to be recovered or settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on
   deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
   in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

4.     The Company has determined the cumulative effect of the change to
   Statement 109 in accounting for income taxes is insignificant as the
   deferred tax liabilities generated by temporary differences are completely
   offset by deferred tax benefits generated by temporary differences and
   available net operating loss carryforwards.  Additionally, the net deferred
   tax benefits resulting from the excess of net operating loss carryforwards
   over the net deferred tax liability will not be recorded due to
   uncertainties relating to the Company's ability to generate sufficient
   future taxable income before the expiration of the net operating loss
   carryforwards.

       At April 1, 1995, the Company had investment tax credit carryforwards for
   Federal income tax purposes of approximately $789,000 (expiring 1995 through
   2007) which are available to reduce future Federal income taxes. In addition,
   the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately

   $16,160,000 (expiring 1998 through 2006) which are also available to reduce
   future Federal income taxes.


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995, were $39,382 compared to
   $221,816 at March 31, 1995.  The current ratio at June 30, 1995 was 0.67:1
   compared to 0.59:1 at March 31, 1995.  Working capital decreased to
   ($725,982) at June 30, 1995 from ($658,399) at March 31, 1995.  Accounts
   receivable increased to $1,039,104 at June 30, 1995 from $208,988 at March
   31, 1995.  This increase was the result of increased utilization of four
   rigs operated at the beginning of the current quarter and the addition of a
   fifth rig midway through the quarter.  During the same quarter a year
   earlier, the Company operated three rigs.  Contract drilling in progress
   decreased to $319,414 at June 30, 1995 from $437,563 at March 31, 1995.

       Since March 31, 1995, property and equipment costs increased by
   $493,860.  Of this amount, $443,640 was spent on drilling equipment, $3,759
   was spent on investment in oil and gas properties, $41,590 was spent on
   transportation equipment, and $4,871 was spent on office furniture and
   equipment.  The increase in drilling equipment was primarily the result of
   the acquisition of a fifth land drilling rig.  The purchase of this rig was
   accomplished through a cash payment of $45,000 and seller financing of
   $300,000.

       Current debt obligations in the form of notes payable increased by
   $160,331 from March 31, 1995 to June 30, 1995.  The elements of this
   increase were the purchase of the rig for a debt of $300,000, purchase of
   transportation equipment with related debt of $31,575, conversion of a trade
   vendor's open account to a short term note in the amount of $94,393, the
   borrowing of $106,641 for the cost of drilling a well in the last quarter of
   fiscal 1995 and payments on debt during the quarter.

       Accounts payable at June 30, 1995 were $1,279,290, an increase of
   $515,699 from $763,591 at March 31, 1995.  This increase in accounts payable
   resulted from increased drilling activity in the quarter, the granting of
   extended terms to some drilling customers resulting in slower payment of
   accounts payable, unusually high repair and maintenance costs on drilling

   equipment, and the lingering effects of a $228,000 uncollectible account
   from one of the Company's drilling customers in fiscal 1995.  Accrued
   expenses decreased to $135,546 at June 30, 1995 from $198,340 at March 31,
   1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Contract drilling revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was
   $2,017,243 compared to $1,035,922 in the same quarter a year earlier.  This
   increase was due to increased drilling activity, 315 drilling days in the
   current quarter compared to 177 drilling days in the same quarter in fiscal
   1995.  During the current quarter, the Company operated five rigs, while in
   fiscal 1995, the Company operated three rigs.  In increasing the number of
   rigs it operated, the Company increased its utilization rate to 77% in the
   current quarter from 65% in the same quarter a year earlier.  During the
   current quarter, both contract drilling revenue and the average daily
   drilling rate increased.  In the current quarter, the average daily drilling
   rate was $6,404.00 compared to $5,853.00 in the corresponding quarter of
   fiscal 1995.

       Oil and gas revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $135,366, up
   $16,443 from revenue of $118,923 in the same quarter a year earlier.  This
   increase in revenue was due to higher market prices for oil and lower market
   prices for gas produced by the Company.  In the current quarter, production
   was the equivalent of 8,066 barrels of oil, while in the same quarter a year
   earlier production was the equivalent of 6,584 barrels of oil.  In the
   current quarter, the average prices received by the Company were $18.06 per
   barrel of oil and $1.76 per mcf of gas.  In the same quarter in fiscal 1995,
   the Company received $16.89 per barrel of oil and $1.97 per mcf of gas.

       Total operating costs and expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
   were $2,100,388, up $939,980 or 81%, from operating costs and expenses of
   $1,160,408 in the same quarter a year earlier.  When compared with the same
   quarter a year earlier, contract drilling costs increased $886,286 in the
   quarter ended June 30, 1995.  This increase was the result of a 78% increase
   in the number of drilling days.  Oil and gas costs and expenses were $35,479
   in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared with $37,157 in the same quarter
   a year earlier.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization costs increased to
   $139,702 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 from $99,525 in the quarter
   ended June 30, 1994.  The reasons for this increase were an increase in
   depletion expense resulting from a higher estimated depletion cost per unit





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
           SOUTH TEXAS DRILLING & EXPLORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



   in effect for the current quarter when compared with the estimated depletion
   cost per unit in effect for the same quarter a year earlier and an increase
   in depreciation expense resulting from the addition of equipment since June
   30, 1994.  General and administrative expenses increased to $121,071 in the
   current quarter from $105,876 in the same quarter a year earlier.  This
   increase was the result primarily of increased legal and professional fees
   incurred in evaluating investment prospects, defending lawsuits and
   attempting to find alternative sources of financing.

       Other income and expense decreased to ($16,268) in the current quarter
   from $17,157 in the same quarter a year earlier.  The reasons for this
   decrease were an increase in interest expense, a decrease in the amount of
   obsolete and excess equipment sold and the elimination of the minority
   interest in the earnings of the partnership.


                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

       The Company is a defendant in several personal injury lawsuits of a type
   which the Company considers routine for the contract drilling industry.
   These lawsuits arose out of injuries to personnel under lease from third
   party employee leasing companies.  These lawsuits are being defended either
   by the Company's general liability insurance carrier under what the Company
   considers to be adequate coverage, or pursuant to an Indemnity Agreement
   between the Company and the employee leasing company which employed the
   Plaintiff.  The Company believes that the employee leasing company has
   adequate insurance coverage to cover those claims.

       The following lawsuits have been settled as described below since the
   close of the Company's fiscal year on March 31, 1995:

       1. JOSE C. RODRIGUEZ AND MARGARITA RODRIGUEZ VS. EMPLOYER'S SELECT
   MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SOUTH TEXAS DRILLING & EXPLORATION, INC., Cause No.
   93-CI-05512, 150th District Court, Bexar County, Texas.  Personal injury by
   employee of Employer Select Management, Inc.  South Texas Drilling was
   defended by the Company's automobile liability insurer under a reservation
   of rights letter.  This case was tried in May, 1995, under a partial
   settlement agreement and release between the Plaintiffs and the Company
   under which the Company's liability was limited by





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
           SOUTH TEXAS DRILLING & EXPLORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



   agreement to $200,000, payable in eleven (11) quarterly payments of $15,000
   each and a final quarterly payment totaling $35,000, payments to commence
   within thirty (30) days of the entry of judgment.  Under the terms of the
   agreement, to the extent the amount of any judgment is collected from the
   Company's automobile insurer, the $200,000 payable by the Company shall be
   reduced.  Although no final written judgment has been entered, the Court has
   issued findings of fact and conclusions of law after a non- jury trial which
   the Company anticipates will result in a judgment in the approximate amount
   of $380,000.  The findings of fact include a finding that the plaintiff was
   the employee of the company's employee leasing company and merely an invitee
   of the Company at the time of his injuries.  The Company's insurer has taken
   the position that the plaintiff was an employee of the company at the time
   the injuries complained occurred and that the insurer is not liable for the
   amount of the judgment as the result of an employee exclusion in its policy.
   The Company believes that the facts support the finding of the court with
   regard to the employee status of the plaintiff and anticipates that the
   judgment will be payable by the company's automobile liability insurer.
   The insurer has brought a declaratory judgment action against the company
   and the Plaintiff in order to establish that the damages found are not
   covered by the Company's policy with the insurer.  Whether or not the
   insurer prevails, the Company's liability is limited to the above-described
   payment of $200,000 over a three-year period.

   2.  JUAN JULIAN PESQUEDA AND YSABEL R. PESQUEDA V. EMPLOYER'S SELECT
       MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SOUTH TEXAS DRILLING & EXPLORATION, INC., Cause No.
       93-CI-12195, 285th District Court, Bexar County, Texas.  This case has 
       been settled for $100,000 with the Company contributing approximately 
       $12,000 as the result of a $5,000 deductible and $7,000 payable in lieu 
       of an insolvent Lloyds underwriter.
