REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Shareholders of Bargo Energy Company:

We have audited the accompanying statements of combined revenues and direct
operating expenses of the oil and gas properties purchased by Bargo Energy
Company from Texaco Exploration and Production Inc., Four Star Oil and Gas
Company and McFarland Energy, Inc. (collectively, Texaco), for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998. These statements are the responsibility of Texaco's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements
based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in
Bargo Energy Company's Form 8-K and are not intended to be a complete financial
presentation of the properties described above.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined revenues and direct operating expenses of the oil and gas
properties purchased by Bargo Energy Company from Texaco for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

                    NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF COMBINED REVENUES

                          AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

                          OF THE OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

                  PURCHASED BY BARGO ENERGY COMPANY FROM TEXACO



1. THE PROPERTIES:

On February 22, 2000, Bargo Energy Company (Bargo) entered into an agreement
with Texaco Exploration and Production Inc., Four Star Oil and Gas Company and
McFarland Energy, Inc. (collectively, Texaco), to purchase Texaco's interests in
certain oil and gas properties located in the Permian Basin, East Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas (the Acquired Properties) for $161.1 million, before closing
adjustments. The effective date of the agreement is January 1, 2000. The
transaction closed on March 31, 2000.

2. BASIS FOR PRESENTATION:

The accompanying statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in
Bargo Energy Company's Form 8-K and are not intended to be a complete financial
presentation of the properties described above.

The revenues and direct operating expenses associated with the Acquired
Properties were derived from Texaco's accounting records and are presented on
the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues and direct operating expenses, as set
forth in the accompanying statements, include oil, gas and plant product
revenues and associated direct operating expenses related to the net revenues
and net working interests, respectively, in the Acquired Properties. The
statements include oil, gas and plant product revenues, net of royalties. Direct
operating expenses include labor, services, repairs and maintenance, and
supplies utilized to operate and maintain the wells and related equipment as
well as severance and ad valorem taxes.

The accompanying statements do not represent a complete income statement in that
they do not show certain expenses, which were incurred in connection with the
ownership of the Acquired Properties, such as general and administrative
expenses and income taxes. These costs were not separately allocated to the
Acquired Properties in Texaco's accounting records, and any pro forma allocation
would be both impractical and would not be a reliable estimate of what these
costs would actually have been had the Acquired Properties been operated
historically as a stand-alone entity. In addition, these allocations, if made
using Texaco's general and administrative structures and tax burdens, would not
produce allocations that would be indicative of the performance of the Acquired
Properties had they been assets of Bargo due to the greatly varying size,
structure and operations of the two companies.

The accompanying statements also do not include Texaco's provisions for
depreciation, depletion and amortization, as such amounts would not be
indicative of those costs that would be incurred by Bargo upon allocation of the
purchase price.










                                       F-4


<PAGE>   6




The interim revenues and direct operating expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, is unaudited; however, in the opinion of Texaco
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the revenues and direct
operating expenses for the interim periods.

3.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement between Bargo and
Texaco, any claims, litigation or disputes pending as of January 1, 2000, or any
matters arising in connection with ownership of the properties prior to January
1, 2000, are retained by Texaco. Notwithstanding this indemnification, Texaco is
not aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that
would have a material effect on the statements of combined revenues and direct
operating expenses.

1. OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION:

Proved oil and gas reserve quantities are based on estimates prepared by
Texaco's engineers and from information provided by Texaco in accordance with
guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved
reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development
expenditures. The following reserve data represent estimates only and should not
be construed as being exact.

2. FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS:

Future cash inflows are based on year-end oil and gas prices except in those
instances where future natural gas or oil sales are covered by physical or
derivative contract terms providing for higher or lower amounts. Operating
costs, production and ad valorem taxes and future development costs are based on
current costs with no escalation.

The following table sets forth unaudited information concerning future net cash
flows for oil and gas reserves. This information does not purport to present the
