Common Stock beneficially owned by the parties to the Shareholders Agreement.

(1)   Includes 587,200 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to
      employee stock options which may be exercised immediately. Also includes
      45,788 shares of Common Stock, the maximum number of shares which Mr.
      Price has the right to acquire during the 60 days following August 14,
      1998, under an employment agreement with Future. Under this agreement, Mr.
      Price may elect to receive all or a portion of his salary in shares of
      Common Stock at a price per share of $0.42 per share until December 31,
      1998. From January 1, 1998 and until the employment agreement terminates,
      the purchase price per share is the average midpoint between the bid and
      asked price of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the last
      five days of the calendar year prior to the year the compensation is
      earned. The 45,788 shares included in the foregoing table represents the
      maximum number of shares which Mr. Price could acquire during the 60 day
      period following August 14, 1998, if he converted all of his salary into
      shares of Common Stock.

(2)   In accordance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      ("SEC") under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
      amended ("Exchange Act"), the percent shown in this column for each
      stockholder represents the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the
      stockholder plus the derivative securities owned by such stockholder
      divided by the number of shares outstanding plus the number of derivative
      securities owned by such stockholder.

      The parties to the Shareholders' Agreement have agreed to cause the Board
of Directors of Future to be composed of seven persons. Each party has further
agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in connection with the election of
directors of the Company for two nominees of Bargo LP, two nominees of the EnCap
Entities and three nominees of the Price Group. In addition, the parties to the
Shareholders' Agreement have agreed that one of the nominees of Bargo LP will be
the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

      The parties to the Shareholders' Agreement have also granted each other
the right of first refusal with respect to proposed transfers of their Common
Stock. The right of first refusal provides that any party to the Shareholders'
Agreement proposing to sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide offer
must first offer the shares to the other stockholders at the price at which such
Common Stock is proposed to be sold. The right of first refusal does not apply
to the following transactions ("Exempt Transfers"): sales of Common Stock in
compliance with Rule 144, pursuant to a registration statement filed with the
SEC or transfers by a stockholder to its equity owners (provided the equity
owner agrees to be bound by the Shareholders' Agreement).

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
      The parties to the Shareholders' Agreement have also granted each other
tag along rights with respect to the proposed sale of their Common Stock. The
tag along rights provide that any party to the Shareholders' Agreement proposing
to sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide offer must, if requested
by the other stockholders, cause the purchase, for the same purchase price and
on the same terms, of a proportionate number of shares of Common Stock owned by
such other stockholders. The tag along rights do not apply to Exempt Transfers.

      The provisions of the Shareholders' Agreement relating to voting and
transfer of Common Stock may be deemed to form a group composed of the parties
to the Shareholders' Agreement.

      BYLAW AMENDMENTS

      Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement, dated August 14, 1998, B. Carl
Price, the EnCap Entities and Bargo LP have agreed to amend ("By Law
Amendments") the By-Laws of the Company to provide that, for so long as Bargo LP
is entitled to nominate one or more persons to the Board of Directors of the
Company as provided in the Shareholders' Agreement, without the approval of one
of the directors nominated by Bargo LP, the Company cannot take certain actions,
including, without limitation, (i) incur or be liable for indebtedness other
than indebtedness under the Company's credit facility with a commercial bank,
obligations under operating leases entered into in the ordinary course of the
Company's business, and purchase money indebtedness in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $200,000 at any time; (ii) merge or consolidate with or
into any other business entity; (iii) sell, transfer, lease, exchange, alienate
or dispose of certain assets; (iv) make any expenditure or commitment or incur
any obligation or enter into or engage in any transaction except in the ordinary
course of business (which ordinary course of business includes the acquisition,
directly or indirectly, of oil and gas properties); or (v) engage in any
material transaction with any of its affiliates on terms which are less
favorable to it than those which would have been obtainable at the time in
arms-length dealing with persons other than such affiliates.

      PLEDGE AGREEMENT

      In connection with the Merger, Future entered into a $20 million credit
agreement with a commercial bank. Borrowings under the credit agreement may not
exceed a borrowing base initially set at $10.5 million. Pursuant to pledge
agreements, each of which is dated August 14, 1998 ("Pledge Agreements"), Bargo
LP, the EnCap Entities and the Price Group have pledged their shares of Common
Stock to secure Future's borrowings under the credit agreement. If an event of
default occurs under the credit agreement, the bank will have the right to vote
all of the shares of Future subject to the Pledge Agreements, and following
foreclosure on the Common Stock, will have the right to sell the Common Stock as
provided in the Pledge Agreements and applicable law.

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

      Pursuant to the Merger, all of the asset and liabilities of SCL-CAL
Company were transferred to the subsidiary of Future. Bargo LP, as the sole
stockholder of SCL-CAL Company, received the Common Stock and Warrants reported
herein. The principal assets of SCL-CAL Company were working interests in oil
and gas properties located in the South Coles Levee Unit in Kern County,
California.

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

      Bargo LP acquired its ownership interest in Future for the purpose of
holding a substantial ownership position in Future in order to be able to
influence the business and management of Future. Bargo, through its nominees on
the Board of Directors, intends to actively participate in the business and
management of Future. Bargo plans to seek to aggressively grow the reserves and
cash flow of Future by acquiring additional oil and gas properties and
developing such properties. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, four of seven
directors of Future were designated by Bargo LP and the EnCap Entities, thereby
effecting a change in control of Future.

      The parties to the Shareholders' Agreement, voting together as provided in
such agreement, have the ability to control Future with respect to the election
of directors. Pursuant to the Bylaw amendments, the Bargo LP nominees to the
Board of Directors have the right to approve certain transactions. See "Item 2.
Identity and Background--Bylaw Amendments."

      The Reporting Persons intend to monitor and evaluate their investment in
Future in light of pertinent factors, including oil and gas prices, market
conditions, Future's performance and prospects, the trading prices of the Common
Stock, conditions in the oil and gas industry and general economic conditions.
The Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of Common Stock in the
