              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1--ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as
prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All material adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which,
in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods have been reflected.  Certain reclassifications have
been made to the prior year statements to conform with the current year
presentation.  The Company evaluates the capitalized costs of its oil and
natural gas properties on an ongoing basis and has utilized the most recently
available information to estimate its reserves at September 30, 1995, in order
to determine the realizability of such capitalized costs.  Future events,
including drilling activities, product prices and operating costs, may affect
future estimates of such reserves.

NOTE 2--REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

In June 1995, the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
and borrowing base thereunder was increased to $65 million from $55 million.
The Credit Facility, as amended, consists of a $65 million revolving credit
loan, which matures on June 30, 1996, with a final maturity of April 1, 1998.
On September 30, 1995, the Company had $50 million in borrowings and a $1
million standby letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.

NOTE 3--UNCOMMITTED SECURED DEMAND TRANSACTIONAL LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY

In August 1995, the Company's marketing subsidiary established an $80 million
Uncommitted Secured Demand Transactional Line of Credit (the "Transactional
Facility") with two banks.  The purpose of the Transactional Facility is to
provide standby letters of credit to support the purchase of crude oil for
resale and borrowings to finance crude oil inventory which has been hedged
against future price risk.  The Transactional Facility is secured by all of the
assets of the marketing subsidiary and is guaranteed by the Company.   The
Company's guarantee is secured by a $1 million standby letter of credit issued
on behalf of the Company.  At September 30, 1995, approximately $28 million in
letters of credit were outstanding under the Transactional Facility.

PMCT, Inc. ("PMCT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has established a
$20 million sublimit (the "Sublimit") within the Transactional Facility for
standby letters of credit and borrowings to finance crude oil purchased in
connection with operations at the Company's crude oil terminal and storage
facility in Cushing, Oklahoma.  Under the terms of the Sublimit, all purchases
of crude oil inventory financed are required to be hedged against future price
risk on terms acceptable to the lenders.  Standby letters of credit and
borrowings under the Sublimit are secured by all of the assets of PMCT.  At
September 30, 1995, no letters of credit or borrowings were outstanding under
the Sublimit.

                                 Page 6 of 17
<PAGE>
 
Letters of credit under the Transactional Facility are generally issued for
sixty day periods and bear fees of 1.5% per annum.  Borrowings incur interest at
the option of the borrower at (i) the Base Rate, as defined, plus 5/8% or (ii)
LIBOR plus 2%. All financings under the Transactional Facility, which expires in
August 1996, are at the discretion of the lenders.   Aggregate cash borrowings
by both subsidiaries are limited to $20 million.

NOTE 4--PREFERRED STOCK

In July 1994, the Company sold in a private placement 200,000 shares of Series C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") for net
proceeds of approximately $20 million.  On May 25, 1995, all outstanding shares
of the Series C Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends, were converted
into approximately 3.6 million shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common
Stock").

On October 31, 1995, all outstanding shares of the Company's $1.30 Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "$1.30 Preferred Stock") were redeemed for
$10.325 per share.  The Company paid a total of $496,000, including unpaid
dividends, to redeem the $1.30 Preferred Stock.  As a result of this redemption
and the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, all outstanding preferred
stock has been eliminated.

NOTE 5--EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Common equivalent shares include
employee stock options and warrants.  For purposes of the earnings per share
calculation, Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred
Stock is included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding effective
January 1, 1995.

Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, has
been restated to reflect the payment of 1994 accrued dividends on the Series C
Preferred Stock through the issuance of additional shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock.  Prior to the restatement, the Company had previously reported
a net loss of $.02 and $.06 per common share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1994, respectively.  The previously reported amounts were
calculated as if the accrued dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock would be
paid in cash.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Company reported net income of
$483,000, or $.03 per share, on total revenue of $103.6 million.  This compares
with net income of $209,000, or $.02 per share, on total revenue of $66.2
million for the third quarter of 1994.  Earnings per share for the 1994 period
has been restated to reflect the payment of 1994 accrued dividends on the
Company's Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Stock") through the issuance of additional shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock.  Prior to the restatement, the Company had previously reported
a net loss of $.02 per common share for the three months ended September 30,
1994.  The Company reported an increase in the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding between the two periods as a result of
the 1995 second quarter conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, originally
issued in July 1994.  Approximately 16.2 million shares were assumed to be
outstanding during the third quarter of 1995 for purposes of the earnings per
share calculation as compared to 11.8 million shares outstanding during the
third quarter of 1994.

Cash flow from operations (net income plus noncash expenses) increased 6% to
$4.6 million for the third quarter of 1995 as compared to $4.3 million for the
1994 period.  Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and
amortization ("EBITDA") increased 8% to $8.0 million versus $7.4 million in last
year's third quarter.

The following table sets forth certain operating information of the Company for
the periods presented:

quarter.  Oil production, the Company's principal product, increased 5% to 1.06
million barrels from 1.01 million barrels produced during the third quarter of
1994 as a result of the Company's continuing focus on the development and
exploitation of its principal properties.  Natural gas production decreased from
 .9 billion cubic feet to .7 billion cubic feet in the current year quarter
primarily as a result of natural decline in the Company's Gulf Coast properties.

Oil and natural gas revenues remained constant at $15.1 million for the third
quarter of 1995 as increased production volumes were offset by slightly lower
average product prices.  The Company's average wellhead price, which represents
a combination of fixed and floating price sales arrangements and incorporates
location and quality discounts from benchmark New York Mercantile Exchange
("NYMEX") prices, decreased approximately 1% to $12.94 per BOE for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  The average crude oil spot price on the NYMEX for the
third quarter of 1995 was $17.74 per barrel, $.75 below the $18.49 per barrel
average for the 1994 third quarter.  However, the Company's average crude oil
price increased slightly to $13.72 per barrel as a result of its hedging
activities and improved basis differentials for certain of its crude oil
production.  The Company's average natural gas price decreased 32% to $0.94 per
thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") during the third quarter of 1995 as compared to
$1.39 per Mcf received in the 1994 quarter.

The Company routinely maintains fixed price arrangements on a significant
portion of its crude oil production.  Approximately 67% of the Company's current
crude oil production volumes are hedged at a NYMEX index price (before location
and quality discounts) of approximately $18.13 per barrel through mid-1996.
Financial swap arrangements and futures transactions entered into by the Company
to hedge production are included in the product prices discussed in the
preceding paragraph.  Such transactions (which do not include fixed price,
physical delivery arrangements) had the effect of decreasing the average price
per BOE by $.18 in the third quarter of 1995 and 1994.

The Company's downstream segment reported an aggregate gross profit of $1.74
million for the third quarter of 1995, reflecting an approximate 17% increase
over the $1.49 million reported for the 1994 quarter.  Gross revenues were
$88.35 million and $51.10 million for the respective periods.  Excluding
contango market inventory transactions, gross profit from base level marketing,
transportation, storage and terminalling activities increased approximately 50%
in the 1995 third quarter to $1.74 million, compared to $1.17 million last year.
Such increase in base level activities is primarily attributable to improved
market access made available by the Company's new crude oil storage and
terminalling facility in Cushing, Oklahoma (the "Cushing Terminal").
Construction of the Cushing Terminal was completed in December 1993.  Total
crude oil volumes marketed and terminalled during the 1995 third quarter were
46,000 barrels per day and 37,000 barrels per day, respectively, as compared
with average daily volumes of 31,000 barrels and 27,000 barrels in last year's
third quarter.  For the third quarter of 1995, marketing and transportation
accounted for gross profit of $1.47 million with terminalling and storage
activities accounting for the balance.

Unit production expenses declined 5% to $6.20 per BOE in the current period as
compared to $6.52 per BOE in last year's third quarter.  Unit production
expenses will vary throughout each year due to seasonal demand charges for peak
electricity usage and periodic workover expenses associated with the Company's
production and exploitation activities.  Annual unit production expenses were
$7.36, $6.65 and $6.15 per BOE in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.  The unit
expense reductions are primarily the result of the Company's ongoing focus on
cost reduction and cost control and increased production volumes.  Total
production expenses decreased to $7.25 million from $7.55 million for the third
quarter of 1994.

<PAGE>
 
Excluding general and administrative ("G&A") expenses related to the Company's
downstream activities, unit upstream G&A expenses were $.98 per BOE for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $.97 per BOE for the 1994
respective period.  On an annual basis, unit upstream G&A expenses were $2.48,
$1.34 and $1.04 per BOE in 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively.  Total G&A
expenses, including downstream activities, were $1.75 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $1.69 million for the 1994 period.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense remained constant at
$4.11 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Increased
DD&A attributable to higher production volumes was partially offset by a lower
DD&A rate ($3.00 per BOE in the 1995 quarter versus $3.10 per BOE in the 1994
quarter).  Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, increased
to $3.40 million from $3.05 million reported for the comparative prior year
quarter.  The increase is primarily due to higher outstanding debt levels and a
higher average interest rate.

Nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company reported net income of
$1.7 million, or $.10 per share, on total revenue of $292.5 million.  This
compares to a net loss of $219,000, or $.02 per share, on total revenue of
$184.0 million for the first nine months of 1994. Earnings per share for the
1994 period has been restated to reflect the payment of 1994 accrued dividends
on the Series C Preferred Stock through the issuance of additional shares of the
Series C Preferred Stock.  Prior to the restatement, the Company had previously
reported a net loss of $.06 per common share for the nine months ended September
30, 1994.  The Company reported an increase in the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding between the two periods as a
result of the 1995 second quarter conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock,
originally issued in July 1994.  Approximately 16.0 million shares were assumed
to be outstanding during the first nine months of 1995 for purposes of the
earnings per share calculation as compared to 11.6 million shares outstanding
during the 1994 comparative period.

Cash flow from operations (net income plus noncash expenses) increased 17% to
$13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 versus $11.9 million
for the 1994 period.  EBITDA increased 12% to $24.0 million as compared to $21.4
million reported in the first nine months of 1994.  Net cash provided by
operating activities, as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows,
decreased to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to $19.1 million for the 1994 comparative period.  Included in the 1994
amount is approximately $9.4 million of proceeds from the sale of crude oil
inventory, primarily attributable to contango market inventory transactions.
The market for similar types of crude oil inventory transactions was not
available during the 1995 period.

</TABLE>

Oil and natural gas production for the first nine months of 1995 increased to
3.49 million BOE, up 7% over the 3.27 million BOE produced in last year's
comparative period.  Oil production, the Company's principal product, increased
approximately 11% to 3.12 million barrels from 2.81 million barrels produced
during the first nine months of 1994 as a result of the Company's continuing
focus on the development and exploitation of its principal properties and the
acquisition of the remaining 50% working interest in its properties in the
Sunniland Trend of South Florida (the "Sunniland Trend Properties") effective
May 1, 1994.  Natural gas production decreased from 2.76 billion cubic feet to
2.20 billion cubic feet in the current year period primarily as a result of
natural decline in the Company's Gulf Coast properties.

Oil and natural gas revenues increased approximately 7% to $45.61 million versus
$42.50 million for the first nine months of 1994 due to increased production
volumes and slightly higher average product prices.  The Company's average
wellhead price, which represents a combination of fixed and floating price sales
arrangements and incorporates location and quality discounts from benchmark
NYMEX prices, increased 1% to $13.07 per BOE for the nine months ended September
30, 1995.  Such increase is attributable to an increase in the spot crude oil
price in 1995 which was offset by lower average natural gas prices.   The
Company's average oil price was $13.88 per barrel for the first nine months of
1995 versus $13.72 per barrel in the prior year comparative period.  The
Company's average natural gas price decreased 27% to $1.02 per Mcf during the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to $1.40 per Mcf received in the 1994
period.

The Company routinely maintains fixed price arrangements on a significant
portion of its crude oil production.  Approximately 67% of the Company's current
crude oil production volumes are hedged

                                 Page 11 of 17
<PAGE>
 
at a NYMEX index price (before location and quality discounts) of approximately
$18.13 per barrel through mid-1996.  Financial swap arrangements and futures
transactions entered into by the Company to hedge production are included in the
product prices discussed in the preceding paragraph.  Such transactions (which
do not include fixed price, physical delivery arrangements) had the effect of
decreasing the average price per BOE by $.35 in the first nine months of 1995
and increasing the average price per BOE by $0.23 in the 1994 comparative
period.

Aggregate gross profit from the Company's downstream operations was $4.84
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, versus $4.77 million in
the prior year period.  Gross revenues were $246.63 million and $141.36 million
for the respective periods.  Excluding contango market inventory transactions,
gross profit from base level marketing, transportation, storage and terminalling
activities increased approximately 36% in the first nine months of 1995 to $4.78
million as compared to $3.50 million last year.  Gross profit from contango
related activities was $60,000 in the 1995 period versus $1.27 million in 1994.
The increase in base level activities is primarily attributable to improved
market access made available by the Cushing Terminal.  Total crude oil volumes
marketed and terminalled during the first nine months of 1995 were 45,000
barrels per day and 38,000 barrels per day, respectively, as compared with
average daily volumes of 26,000 barrels and 30,000 barrels in last year's
comparative period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, marketing and
transportation accounted for gross profit of $3.96 million with terminalling and
storage activities accounting for the balance.

Unit production expenses decreased approximately 4% to $6.06 per BOE in the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to $6.31 per BOE in last year's
comparative period.  Unit production expenses will vary throughout each year due
to seasonal demand charges for peak electricity usage and periodic workover
expenses associated with the Company's production and exploitation activities.
Annual unit production expenses were $7.36, $6.65 and $6.15 per BOE in 1992,
1993 and 1994, respectively.  The unit expense reductions are primarily the
result of the Company's ongoing focus on cost reduction and cost control and
increased production volumes.  Total production expenses increased to $21.16
million from $20.67 million for the first nine months of 1994 primarily as a
result of increased production volumes.

Excluding G&A expenses related to the Company's downstream activities, unit
upstream G&A expenses declined 5% to $1.06 per BOE for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  On an annual basis, unit upstream general and
administrative expenses were $2.48, $1.34 and $1.04 per BOE in 1992, 1993 and
1994, respectively.  Total G&A expenses, including downstream activities, were
$5.53 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $5.34
million for the 1994 period.

DD&A expense increased slightly to $12.24 million for the first nine months of
1995.  Increased DD&A attributable to higher production volumes was partially
offset by a lower DD&A rate ($3.00 per BOE in the 1995 period versus $3.19 per
BOE in the 1994 period).  Interest expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1995, increased to $10.08 million from $9.50 million reported for the
comparative prior year period.  The increase is primarily due to a higher
average interest rate and higher outstanding debt levels.

CAPITAL RESOURCES, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

In July 1994, the Company sold in a private placement 200,000 shares of its
Series C Preferred Stock for net proceeds of approximately $20 million.  On May
25, 1995, all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, including
accrued dividends, were converted into approximately 3.6 million shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Common Stock").  On October 31, 1995, all 48,070
outstanding

                                 Page 12 of 17
<PAGE>
 
shares of the Company's $1.30 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "$1.30
Preferred Stock") were redeemed for $10.325 per share.  As a result of these
transactions, all outstanding preferred stock and the corresponding $2.2 million
annual dividend obligation have been eliminated.  Approximately 15.3 million
shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of October 31, 1995.

In June 1995, the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
and borrowing base thereunder was increased to $65 million from $55 million.
The Credit Facility, as amended, consists of a $65 million revolving credit
loan, which matures on June 30, 1996, with a final maturity of April 1, 1998.
On September 30, 1995, the Company had $50 million in borrowings and a $1
million standby letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.

In August 1995, the Company's marketing subsidiary established an $80 million
Uncommitted Secured Demand Transactional Line of Credit (the "Transactional
Facility") with two banks.  The purpose of the Transactional Facility is to
provide standby letters of credit to support the purchase of crude oil for
resale and borrowings to finance crude oil inventory which has been hedged
against future price risk.  The Transactional Facility is secured by all of the
assets of the marketing subsidiary and is guaranteed by the Company.   The
Company's guarantee is secured by a $1 million standby letter of credit issued
on behalf of the Company.  At September 30, 1995, approximately $28 million in
letters of credit were outstanding under the Transactional Facility.

PMCT, Inc. ("PMCT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has established
a $20 million sublimit (the "Sublimit") within the Transactional Facility for
standby letters of credit and borrowings to finance crude oil purchased in
connection with operations at the Cushing Terminal.  Under the terms of the
Sublimit, all purchases of crude oil inventory financed are required to be
hedged against future price risk on terms acceptable to the lenders. Standby
letters of credit and borrowings under the Sublimit are secured by all of the
assets of PMCT. At September 30, 1995, no letters of credit or borrowings were
outstanding under the Sublimit.

Letters of credit under the Transactional Facility are generally issued for
sixty day periods and bear fees of 1.5% per annum.  Borrowings incur interest at
the option of the borrower at (i) the Base Rate, as defined, plus 5/8% or (ii)
LIBOR plus 2%. All financings under the Transactional Facility, which expires in
August 1996, are at the discretion of the lenders.   Aggregate cash borrowings
by both subsidiaries are limited to $20 million.

At September 30, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficit of
approximately $6.29 million compared to a deficit of $4.47 million at December
31, 1994.  The Company has historically operated with a working capital deficit
due primarily to ongoing capital expenditures that have been financed through
cash flow and the Credit Facility.

Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $15.95 million and $33.89
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Investing activities include payments for acquisition, exploration and
development costs of $16.89 million and $32.17 million for these same periods,
respectively.  Such payments for the 1994 period include approximately $11.5
million related to the cash portion of the acquisition of the Sunniland Trend
Properties.  Also included in investing activities are proceeds from the sale of
certain minor properties of $1.83 million and $.31 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                                 Page 13 of 17
<PAGE>
 
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $5.14 million and $18.34
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Financing activities during 1994 include approximately $20 million in proceeds
from the Series C Preferred Stock.  Proceeds, net of payments, from long-term
borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, were $4.90
million and $7.40 million, respectively.  Included in both years are net
proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility as a result of acquisition,
exploration and development activities, while 1994 also includes an $11.5
million bridge loan incurred to finance the acquisition of the Sunniland Trend
Properties.  Such loan was repaid in July 1994 with proceeds from the sale of
the Series C Preferred Stock.  Short-term debt transactions during the 1994
period reflect borrowings and repayments associated with contango crude oil
inventory transactions.

Changing Oil and Natural Gas Prices

The Company believes that with the Cushing Terminal and its crude oil and
natural gas reserve base it has the available capital resources, including
external sources of financing, to fund its capital programs.  However, the
Company is heavily dependent on crude oil prices which have historically been
volatile.  During 1995, the posted price for WTI crude oil has ranged from a
high of $19.00 in April to a low of $15.00 in July.  Although the Company's
long-term sales arrangements for its crude oil production substantially
mitigated the impact of crude oil price declines in 1993 and 1994, future crude
oil price declines would have a negative impact on the Company's overall
results, and therefore its liquidity.  Further, low crude oil prices could
affect the Company's ability to raise capital on favorable terms.  The Company
routinely maintains fixed price arrangements on a significant portion of its
crude oil production.  Approximately 67% of the Company's current crude oil
production volumes are hedged at a NYMEX index price (before location and
quality discounts) of approximately $18.13 per barrel through mid-1996.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

  On April 27, 1992, the Company and certain of its officers and directors and a
  former director and officer were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the
  United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas captioned
  Judith Rubinstein and Howard Greenwald v. Collins, et al., C.A. No. H-92-1297.
  The complaint brings a class action (the class period of which is October 23,
  1991 though April 13, 1992) for, among other things, alleged violations of
  Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and state law fraud and negligent
  misrepresentation, arising out of certain alleged misrepresentations and
  omissions in the Company's disclosures regarding its onshore natural gas
  exploration activities.  The plaintiffs, who purport to have purchased their
  Common Stock in open market transactions (300 and 375 shares, respectively),
  contend the class is entitled to approximately $30 million for compensatory
  damages and punitive damages in an unspecified amount.  The Company filed a
  motion to dismiss in July 1992.  On August 24, 1992, the Court entered an
  Order of Dismissal and a Final Judgment dismissing the plaintiffs' complaint
  for failure to state a claim under the federal securities laws and/or under
  the common law of the State of Texas.  On September 10, 1992, the plaintiffs
  filed a Notice of Appeal of the District Court's judgment with the United
  States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (No. 92-2736).  On May 5, 1994,
  the Fifth Circuit Court ruled, among other things, that the plaintiffs had
  sufficiently pleaded claims under the federal securities laws and under Texas
  common law and reversed the trial court's dismissal and remanded the case to
  the trial court for further proceedings.

  On July 27, 1993, a second case similar to the Rubinstein case described in
  the preceding paragraph was filed in the United States District Court for the
  Southern District of Texas captioned Gloria Moroson v. Collins, et al., C.A.
  No. H-93-2305, naming the Company and certain of its officers and directors
  and a former director and officer as defendants.  The complaint brings a class
  action (the class period of which is May 11, 1992 through August 14, 1992)
  for, among other things, alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
  Exchange Act and for state law fraud and negligent misrepresentation, arising
  out of certain alleged misrepresentations and omissions in the Company's
  disclosures regarding its onshore natural gas exploration activities. The
  plaintiff, who purports to have purchased 50 shares of Common Stock in an open
  market transaction, contends the class is entitled to approximately $60
  million for compensatory damages and punitive damages in an unspecified
  amount.  These amounts are alleged to be in addition to the damages claimed in
  the Rubinstein case.  In June 1994, the trial court granted the Company's
  motion to consolidate the Rubinstein and Moroson cases. On September 1, 1995,
  the Company and the other defendants moved for summary judgment on all claims
  alleged by plaintiffs in these consolidated cases.  This motion is scheduled
  to be heard by the court on November 30,1995.  No trial date has been set for
  these cases.  Although the Company believes these complaints to be without
  merit and intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits, an adverse judgment
  could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

/(1)/ Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994,
      has been restated to reflect the payment of 1994 accrued dividends on the
      Company's Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C
      Preferred Stock") through the issuance of additional shares of the Series
      C Preferred Stock. Prior to the restatement, the Company had previously
      reported a net loss of $.02 and $.06 per common share for the three and
      nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively. The previously
      reported amounts were calculated as if the accrued dividends on the Series
      C Preferred Stock would be paid in cash.
