Board of Directors
Future Petroleum Corporation
Dallas, Texas


We have audited the accompanying historical summaries of revenues and direct
operating expenses of properties acquired in August 1998, for the years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997.  The historical summaries are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
historical summaries 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 historical summaries are free of material 
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the historical summaries.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall historical summary presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical summaries were prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for 
inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Future Petroleum Corporation) as described in 
Note 1 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the properties' 
revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the historical summaries referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the 
properties acquired in August 1998, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying historical summaries of revenues and direct operating expenses
relate to the operations of the oil and gas properties ("Properties") acquired
by Future Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") in August 1998 from Bargo Energy
Resources, Ltd.  The Properties were acquired for $5,800,000 plus the issuance
of 4,700,000 shares of common stock.  In addition, certain existing debt was
restructured in exchange for the issuance of an additional 2,800,000 shares of
common stock in connection with the transaction.

Revenues are recorded when the Properties' share of oil or natural gas and 
natural gas liquids are sold.  Direct operating expenses are recorded when the
related liability is incurred.  Direct operating expenses include lease
operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and production taxes.  Depreciation and
amortization of oil and gas properties, general and administrative expenses and
income taxes have been excluded from operating expenses in the accompanying 
historical summaries because the amounts would not be comparable to those 
resulting from proposed future operations.

The historical summaries presented herein were prepared for the purpose of 
complying with the financial statement requirements of a business acquisition to
be filed on Form 8-K/A as promulgated by Regulation S-B Item 3-10 of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

2. MAJOR PURCHASER

Oil Sales for the Properties, which comprised approximately 27% and 36%, 
respectively of total sales from the Properties for the years ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, were made predominantly to one purchaser.

3. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS RESERVES (UNAUDITED)

Proved oil and gas reserves consist of those estimated quantities of crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data 
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved 
developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered
through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

The following estimates of proved reserves have been made by independent 
engineers.  The estimated net interest in proved reserves are based upon 
subjective engineering judgments and may be affected by the limitations inherent
in such estimation.  The process of estimating reserves is subject to continual 
revision as additional information becomes available as a result of drilling, 
testing, reservoir studies and production history.  There can be no assurance
that such estimates will not be materially revised in subsequent periods.

The changes in proved reserves of the properties acquired in August 1998 for the
years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are set forth below.  All of the reserves are
classified as proved developed.

                                EXPENSES

Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil 
and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves.  Estimated future production
costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in producing
the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs
and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.  Estimated future 
income tax expense is calculated by applying year-end statutory tax rates to 
estimated future pre-tax net cash flows related to proved oil and gas reserves,
less the tax basis of the properties involved.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board and as such, do not necessarily reflect
the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves
nor their present worth.  The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity 
estimation process are equally applicable to the standardized measure 
computations since these estimates are the basis for the valuation process.




                           FUTURE PETROLEUM CORPORATION

                     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


In August 1998, Future Petroleum Corporation (the Company) acquired interests in
certain producing properties in California in exchange for $5,800,000 and 
4,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  No additional value was 
assigned to the common stock because the estimated market value of the 
properties acquired approximates the cash consideration and closing costs paid.
The cash portion of the purchase price was financed with a senior note payable. 
In addition, $1,760,000 of the Company's existing notes payable were repaid and
the remaining balance restructured in connection with the transaction.  In 
consideration of the restructuring, the existing note holders were issued 
1,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The following unaudited pro 
forma financial statements have been prepared to demonstrate the effect on the
Company's financial position and results of operations as if the properties had
been acquired on June 30, 1998 (with respect to the pro forma balance sheet) and
at the beginning of the periods (with respect to the pro forma statements of 
operations).  The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the historical summaries of revenues and direct operating expenses of the
properties included herein and with the financial statements of the Company as
filed in their Forms 10-KSB and 10-QSB.  The pro forma financial statements 
should not be construed as a reflection of the financial position or results of
operations that actually would have occurred if the acquisition would have 
occurred on the above dates.

                       FUTURE PETROLEUM CORPORATION
 
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


(1)     Adjustment to reflect the acquisition of the oil and gas properties for
        cash of approximately $6,000,000 (including approximately $200,000 of
        directly related costs).  The acquisition was financed with long-term
        debt.

(2)     Adjustment to reflect the change in the acquired properties' revenues
        and direct operating expenses from a June 30, 1998 year end to a
        December 31, 1997 year end.  The adjustment includes adding the results
        for the properties for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 and
        deducting the results for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, to
        the results for the year ended June 30, 1998.

(3)     Adjustment to reflect additional depletion and depreciation expense as 
        if the properties had been acquired at the beginning of the respective
        periods.

(4)     Adjustment to reflect additional interest expense at 8.5% as if the 
        properties had been acquired at the beginning of the respective periods.
        Adjustment also includes the effect of refinancing $1,760,000 of the
        Company's 10% debt with the 8.5% debt.

(5)     Adjustment to reflect estimate of additional administrative costs 
        associated with the acquired properties.

(6)     Adjustment to record income taxes.
