                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Rio Grande, Inc.:

We have audited the  accompanying  statement  of revenues  and direct  operating
expenses of the oil and gas property  interests  acquired from Belle Oil,  Inc.,
Belle Exploration,  Inc., Louisiana Well Service Co., Alton J. Ogden, Jr., Alton
J. Ogden, Sr. and Jeff L. Burkhalter (collectively,  the "Belle Properties") for
the year ended December 31, 1995. The statement of revenues and direct operating
expenses is the responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our responsibility
is to express  an opinion on the  statement  of  revenues  and direct  operating
expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of revenues and direct operating  expenses
is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and
direct  operating  expenses.  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  statement was prepared as described in Note 1 for the purpose
of complying  with certain rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission  ("SEC") for inclusion in certain SEC regulatory  reports and filings
and are not intended to be a complete financial presentation.

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  statement  of revenues and direct  operating
expenses  presents  fairly,  the revenues and direct  operating  expenses of the
Belle  Properties  for the year ended  December 31,  1995,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

          NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
                      OF CERTAIN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES OF
                                 BELLE OIL, INC.


(1)      Basis of Presentation

         On April 12, 1996, Rio Grande, Inc. (the "Company") purchased interests
         in certain operated and  non-operated oil and gas producing  properties
         and proved undeveloped  properties (the "Belle  Properties") from Belle
         Oil, Inc., Belle Exploration,  Inc.,  Louisiana Well Service Co., Alton
         J. Ogden, Jr., Alton J. Ogden, Sr. and Jeff L.Burkhalter ("Belle"). The
         total  purchase  price  of  the  assets   acquired  was   approximately
         $2,800,000.  At closing,  the Company paid for half of the  acquisition
         price with funds of approximately  $1,100,000 from the Company's Senior
         Credit Facility and  approximately  $300,000 from working  capital.  By
         agreement with Belle, the remaining balance of approximately $1,450,000
         was  financed  by a note  issued by Belle  which will be  payable  with
         interest at prime rate on August 30, 1996.  The oil and gas  properties
         are located in Mississippi and Louisiana.

         The accompanying  statements of revenues and direct operating  expenses
         were derived from the historical  accounting  records of Belle.  Direct
         operating   expenses   include   payroll,   lease  and  well   repairs,
         maintenance, and other direct operating expenses.

         Full historical financial  statements,  including exploration expenses,
         general and  administrative  expenses,  interest expense and income tax
         expense have not been presented because they have not historically been
         allocated  at this  level.  Historical  depletion  expense has not been
         included in such statements as the Company will adjust the basis in its
         purchase price  allocation and the historical  depletion will no longer
         be relevant.

         The information  presented for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the
         three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited,  but in
         the opinion of  Management  includes  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
         normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair  presentation of the
         results  of  operations.  Results  of  operations  for the three  month
         periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
         the results to be expected for the full year.

                                 BELLE OIL, INC.


(2)      Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited)

         Total  proved and proved  developed  oil and gas  reserves of the Belle
         Properties  at December 31, 1995 have been  estimated  based on reserve
         estimates prepared as of January 1, 1996. No comparable  estimates were
         available for prior periods. Therefore, reserves for 1995 and 1994 have
         been  calculated  by  adjusting  the January 1, 1996  amounts for prior
         period producing activities and, consequently, no revisions of previous
         estimates  have been  reflected.  All  reserve  estimates  are based on
         economic  and  operating  conditions  existing at January 1, 1996.  The
         future  net  cash  flows  from   production  of  these  proved  reserve
         quantities  were  computed  by applying  current  prices of oil and gas
         (with  consideration  of price  changes only to the extent  provided by
         contractual  arrangements)  as of January 1, 1996 to  estimated  future
         production  of proved oil and gas reserves  less the  estimated  future
         expenditures  (based on current  costs) as of  January  1, 1996,  to be
         incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves.  Income taxes
         were  calculated  as  statutory  rates  without  consideration  of  any
         remaining  historical  tax  basis of the  Belle  Properties.  The Belle
         Properties are located in Louisiana and  Mississippi.  Exploration  and
         development costs incurred during 1994 and 1995 are not available.
