1.  TRANSACTIONS

  In January 1996, the Company acquired the common stock of Fremont, an
Oklahoma-based oil and gas company, for $7.0 million in cash and 3.3 million
shares of the Company's Common Stock.  Prior to the close of the transaction,
certain assets and liabilities of Fremont were transferred to a new corporation
not acquired by the Company.  The only remaining assets in Fremont were the oil
and gas properties ("Acquired Properties") and certain insignificant receivables
and payables related to the Acquired Properties.

  Other acquisitions include the October 1995 purchase of the Truby Field,
located in Jones County, Texas, the May 1995 purchase of the Myrtle "B" Field in
Loving County, Texas, and the April 1995 purchase of the Cosden Field in Bee
County, Texas for a total cash consideration of $4.3 million.

  In December 1995, the Company sold its working interest in 27 wells in the
Arapahoe for $1 million cash.

  The Company has submitted to the shareholders for approval a proposal to amend
the terms of the Senior Preferred by providing for the elimination of this class
and the conversion into nine shares of Common Stock for each share of Senior
Preferred (the "Preferred Amendment").

3.  PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ADJUSTMENTS

  The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statement of
Operations reflect the following adjustments for the Acquired Properties, for
other properties acquired in 1995, for the elimination of Senior Preferred
dividends as a result of the Preferred Amendment, and for the sale of Arapahoe:

     (a) Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense has been computed
  using the units of production method and reflects the Company's increased
  investment in oil and gas properties and increased production therefrom.

     (b) No additional general and administrative expense is expected as
  management believes it can absorb these operations without additional
  personnel.

     (c) As the Company has a large deferred tax benefit (primarily relating to
  net operating losses), which is fully reserved, no income tax provision is
  necessary.

     (d) Interest expense was calculated based upon the interest rate that would
  be payable under the BankOne Credit Agreement as if it were used to finance
  the acquisitions.

     (e) The operating results for the Arapahoe properties was eliminated from
  the Statement of Operations.

   (f) Interest expense for 1995 was reduced by $62,000 to reflect the use of
 the proceeds from the sale of Arapahoe to reduce long-term bank borrowing,
 which were outstanding since May12, 1995.

   (g) The gain on sale of Arapahoe was eliminated.

   (h) Senior Preferred dividends of $807,000 were eliminated as a result of the
 Preferred Amendment.

4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or
loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding which includes the 3.3 million shares issued
in connection with the Fremont acquisition and the 16.4 million shares
anticipated to be issued in connection with the Preferred Amendment.  The stock
options were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of income or
losses per common share.

5.  OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION

  The proved reserves relating to the Acquired Properties would have represented
approximately 51% of Amerac's total proved reserves as of December 31, 1995
which, after including the Acquired Properties, would have been approximately
4.4 million barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") in 1995. At the time of the sale,
the Arapahoe reserves (.125 million BOE) represented approximately 5.5% of
Amerac's total proved reserves. The reserve quantities of the Acquired
Properties were estimated by an independent oil and gas reservoir engineering
firm. All estimates were prepared in accordance with guidelines established by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of the reserves are located within
the United States.
