                              INLAND RESOURCES INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                     ------


1.   COMPANY ORGANIZATION:

     Inland Resources Inc. (the "Company") is an independent energy company with
     substantially all of its producing oil and gas property interests located
     in the Monument Butte Field within the Uinta Basin of Northeastern Utah.
     The Company also operates a crude oil refinery located in Woods Cross, Utah
     (the "Woods Cross Refinery"). The refinery has a processing capacity of
     approximately 10,000 barrels per day and tankage capacity of 485,000
     barrels.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The preceding financial information has been prepared by the Company
     pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, includes all normal
     and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of
     each period shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
     SEC rules and regulations. Management believes the disclosures made are
     adequate to ensure that the financial information is not misleading, and
     suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

3.   GOING CONCERN:

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
     assuming that the Company will continue as going concern. However, the low
     oil price environment during 1998 and the first quarter of 1999 has
     significantly impacted the Company's financial condition. The Company had a
     working capital deficit of $145.8 million at March 31, 1999 and generated a
     net loss of $6.0 million for the first quarter of 1999 and $23.5 million
     during the year ended December 31, 1998. Approximately $145.0 million of
     the working capital deficit is caused by principal amounts related to the
     Company's long-term debt facilities. Based on current conditions, the
     Company will not be able to make its 1999 principal payments as scheduled.
     In addition, at March 31, 1999 the Company was in default of certain
     provisions of its credit agreements. As a result of the items noted above,
     there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
     going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
     adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset
     carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might
     result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

     The Company is considering a number of strategies to cure its working
     capital and liquidity issues. A potential solution is the following
     transaction. On January 18, 1999, the Company entered into a non-binding
     letter of intent with Flying J Inc. ("Flying J") and Smith Management LLC
     ("Smith Management") (an affiliate of and a majority shareholder in the
     Company) regarding the acquisition of certain assets by the Company from
     Flying J or one of its subsidiaries. The acquisition includes a 25,000
     barrel per day refinery located in North Salt Lake City, eleven Flying J
     gasoline stations located primarily in the Salt Lake City area and Idaho
     and all oil and gas reserves owned by Flying J in the Uinta Basin, fifteen
     miles north of the Monument Butte Field. The purchase price is $80.0
     million in cash and approximately 12.8 million shares of the Company's
     common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is equal to approximately
     60% of the shares outstanding after the acquisition. This transaction would
     be accounted for as a reverse merger. A restructuring of the Company's
     capital and debt structure could be required to effectuate the acquisition.
     Management anticipates that if the transaction is consummated, it will
     close during the third quarter of 1999. The acquisition is contingent on
     preparation of definitive documents, financing, due diligence procedures
     and approval by regulatory agencies, the Company's lenders, the Board of
     Directors of each company and the Company's shareholders. The failure of
     any one of these events could prevent the consummation of the acquisition.

                                       4

     The Company is also involved in negotiations to restructure its debt and
     equity which may provide financing such that a drilling program can be
     resumed, although there is no assurance that the Company will be
     successful. Until the Flying J transaction or a capital restructuring is
     completed, the Company does not plan to drill additional wells. Instead,
     the Company will focus on its continuing efforts to pressurize the Monument
     Butte Field through additional development of its water injection
     infrastructure. The Company plans to convert 30 wells to injection during
     1999 while incurring net capital expenditures of $500,000. The Company also
     expects to spend $900,000 performing required capital improvements at the
     Woods Cross Refinery. The level of these and other capital expenditures is
     largely discretionary, and the amount of funds devoted to any particular
     activity may increase or decrease significantly depending on available
     opportunities, capital availability and market conditions.

     Other possible solutions the Company is considering include obtaining
     additional modifications to its credit agreements, selling assets, issuing
     additional debt or selling equity. The Company believes its lenders will
     assist in solving the Company's liquidity and working capital issues,
     although management can not be assured that the Company will obtain
     modifications or concessions from its lenders or raise the necessary
     capital from other sources in the time frames required. As a result, the
     Company may have to further slow or stop development of the Monument Butte
     Field and suspend all upgrades at the Woods Cross Refinery.

4.   ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" effective
     for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement requires
     companies to record derivative transactions on the balance sheet as assets
     or liabilities, measured at fair value, and further defines transactions
     that qualify for hedge accounting. The Company has not assessed the impact
     this Statement may have on reported financial information.

5.   INVENTORIES:

     Inventories at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consist of the

     PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

                              INLAND RESOURCES INC.
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

                                     ------


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998:

     REFINED PRODUCTS SALES. The Company averaged refined product sales of 
9,300 barrels per day from the Woods Cross Refinery during the first quarter 
of 1999, of which 56% represented gasoline and diesel products. This is an 
increase of 900 barrels per day when compared to the first quarter of 1998. 
The lower volumes during the prior year reflect the Company's first quarter 
of refinery ownership and resulted from the Company performing various 
neglected repairs and maintenance procedures. Although volumes sold increased 
over the prior year, sales decreased due to a decline in the average price 
received for the Company's refined product slate from $20.76 per barrel in 
the first quarter of 1998 to $17.18 in 1999. The decrease was due to general 
market conditions in the Salt Lake City region.

     OIL AND GAS SALES. The Company eliminated in consolidation $1.7 million 
of crude oil sales made between its production operations and the Woods Cross 
Refinery during the first quarter of 1999. Prior to considering intercompany 
eliminations, crude oil and natural gas revenue for the first quarter ended 
March 31, 1999 decreased $1.2 million, or 24% from the previous year. The 
decrease was attributable to a decrease in crude oil and natural gas prices 
since the Company's production in the first quarter of 1999 was only slightly 
lower than the prior year first quarter. Crude oil prices decreased 21% from 
an average of $10.83 per barrel during the first quarter of 1998 to $8.60 
during the first quarter of 1999. Since approximately 73% of the Company's 
revenues are derived from crude oil sales, the 17% decrease in the average 
price received for natural gas sales had less of an impact.

     COST OF REFINERY FEEDSTOCK. The Company eliminated in consolidation $1.7 
million of feedstock costs associated with sales between its production 
operations and the Woods Cross Refinery. Without consideration of this 
elimination, refinery feedstock costs decreased $3.1 million or 21% between 
first quarters. This is in exact relation to the Company's price decrease 
noted for its crude oil sales in the "Oil and Gas Sales" explanation above. 
In addition, the decrease is consistent with an industry wide downward trend 
in the demand and associated price for crude oil during the first quarter of 
1999.

     REFINERY OPERATING EXPENSES. Refinery operating expense for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1999 increased 40%, or $712,000, from the first quarter of 
1998. The increase was the result of a number of factors including (1) 
increased transportation costs since the current crude oil slate and the 
refined product sold had more volumes shipped via railcar or truck rather 
than pipeline and (2) an increase in the number of operating employees and 
pay rates, (3) less processing fees and maintenance credits associated with 
the Company's MDDW unit. Routine turnaround projects totaling approximately 
$400,000 are expected in 1999, in addition to ongoing repairs and upgrades to 
the Company's buildings, tanks and roads.

     LEASE OPERATING EXPENSES. Lease operating expense for the first quarter 
ended March 31, 1999 decreased 24%, or $530,000, from the first quarter of 
1998. Lease operating expense per BOE sold decreased $1.00 or 21% to $3.83. 
The improved operating costs results reflect the full and efficient 
integration of operations related to the large producing well purchases made 
during the last half of 1997.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     PRODUCTION TAXES. Production taxes as a percentage of oil and gas sales 
were 2.2% in the first quarters of 1999 and 1998. Production tax expense 
consists of estimates of the Company's yearly effective tax rate for Utah 
state severance tax and production ad valorem tax. Changes in sales prices, 
tax rates, tax exemptions and the timing, location and results of drilling 
activities can all affect the Company's actual tax rate.

     EXPLORATION. Exploration expense during the first quarters of 1999 and 
1998 represents the Company's cost to retain unproved acreage.

     DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depletion, depreciation and 
amortization for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased 31%, or $796,000, 
from the previous year. Depletion, which is based on the units-of-production 
method, comprises the majority of the total charge. The depletion rate is a 
function of capitalized costs and related underlying proved reserves in the 
periods presented. The Company's average depletion rate increased from $4.89 
per BOE sold during the first quarter of 1998 to $6.67 per BOE sold during 
the first quarter of 1999.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE, NET. General and administrative expense for 
the quarter ended March 31, 1999 decreased 23%, or $219,000, from the 
previous year. The decrease was spread between refining and producing 
operations and generally resulted from employee and related benefit 
reductions necessitated by the low oil price environment.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the first quarter of 1999 
increased 34%, or $1.1 million, compared to the first quarter of 1998. The 
increase resulted from increased average borrowings outstanding as the 
Company's debt balance increased $36 million from March 31, 1998 to March 31, 
1999. Borrowings during the first quarters of 1999 and 1998 were recorded at 
an effective interest rate of approximately 10.6%.

     OTHER INCOME. Other income in 1999 and 1998 primarily represents 
interest earned on the investment of surplus cash balances.

     INCOME TAXES. In 1999 and 1998, no income tax provision or benefit was 
recognized due to net operating losses incurred and the reversal and 
recording of a full valuation allowance.

     ACCRUED SERIES C STOCK DIVIDENDS. Inland's Series C stock accrues 
dividends at 10%, compounded quarterly, or approximately $1,000,000 per year. 
No dividends have been paid since the stock was issued on July 21, 1997. The 
amount accrued represents those dividends earned during the respective period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
assuming that the Company will continue as going concern. However, the low 
oil price environment during 1998 and the first quarter of 1999 has 
significantly impacted the Company's financial condition. The Company had a 
working capital deficit of $145.8 million at March 31, 1999 and generated a 
net loss of $6.0 million for the first quarter of 1999 and $23.5 million 
during the year ended December 31, 1998. Approximately $145.0 million of the 
working capital deficit is caused by principal amounts related to the 
Company's long-term debt facilities. Based on current conditions, the Company 
will not be able to make its 1999 principal payments as scheduled. In 
addition, at March 31, 1999 the Company was in default of certain provisions 
of its credit agreements.

The Company is considering a number of strategies to cure its working capital 
and liquidity issues. A potential solution is the following transaction. On 
January 18, 1999, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent 
with Flying J Inc. ("Flying J") and Smith Management LLC ("Smith Management") 
(an affiliate of and a majority shareholder in the Company) regarding the 
acquisition of certain assets by the Company from Flying J or one of its 
subsidiaries. The acquisition includes a 25,000 barrel per day refinery 
located in North Salt Lake City, eleven Flying J gasoline stations located 
primarily in the Salt Lake City area and Idaho and all oil and gas reserves 
owned by Flying J in the Uinta Basin, fifteen miles north of the Monument 
Butte Field. The purchase price is $80.0 million in cash and approximately 
12.8 million shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per 
share, which is 

                                       8
<PAGE>

equal to approximately 60% of the shares outstanding after the acquisition. 
This transaction would be accounted for as a reverse merger. A restructuring 
of the Company's capital and debt structure could be required to effectuate 
the acquisition. Management anticipates that if the transaction is 
consummated, it will close during the third quarter of 1999. The acquisition 
is contingent on preparation of definitive documents, financing, due 
diligence procedures and approval by regulatory agencies, the Company's 
lenders, the Board of Directors of each company and the Company's 
shareholders. The failure of any one of these events could prevent the 
consummation of the acquisition.

The Company is also involved in negotiations to restructure its debt and 
equity which may provide financing such that a drilling program can be 
resumed, although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful. 
Until the Flying J transaction or a capital restructuring is completed, the 
Company does not plan to drill additional wells. Instead, the Company will 
focus on its continuing efforts to pressurize the Monument Butte Field 
through additional development of its water injection infrastructure. The 
Company plans to convert 30 wells to injection during 1999 while incurring 
net capital expenditures of $500,000. The Company also expects to spend 
$900,000 performing required capital improvements at the Woods Cross 
Refinery. The level of these and other capital expenditures is largely 
discretionary, and the amount of funds devoted to any particular activity may 
increase or decrease significantly depending on available opportunities, 
capital availability and market conditions.

Other possible solutions the Company is considering include obtaining 
additional modifications to its credit agreements, selling assets, issuing 
additional debt or selling equity. The Company believes its lenders will 
assist in solving the Company's liquidity and working capital issues, 
although management can not be assured that the Company will obtain 
modifications or concessions from its lenders or raise the necessary capital 
from other sources in the time frames required. As a result, the Company may 
have to further slow or stop development of the Monument Butte Field and 
suspend all upgrades at the Woods Cross Refinery. As a result of the items 
noted above, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to 
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not 
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of 
asset carrying amounts or the amount and classifications of liabilities that 
might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company focused its efforts on 
pressurizing the Monument Butte Field by converting seven wells to water 
injection. Due to its financial condition, the Company incurred only $143,000 
of net capital expenditures with respect to its producing and refining 
operations. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company borrowed $3.25 
million from its lenders and generated $1.8 million of cash from operations 
which it primarily used to reduce outstanding accounts payable which, as a 
result, decreased 34% from January 1, 1999 to March 31, 1999 to $9.4 million.

     FINANCING. On September 30, 1997, the Company closed separate Credit 
Agreements with Trust Company of the West and TCW Asset Management Company in 
their capacities as noteholder and agent (collectively "TCW") and ING (U.S.) 
Capital Corporation ("ING"). Subsequent to the closing of the ING Credit 
Agreement, U.S. Bank National Association and Meespierson Capital Corp. 
(collectively referred to herein with ING as the "Senior Lenders") became 
loan participants in the ING Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement with TCW 
provided the Company with $75.0 million, all of which was funded at closing. 
The ING Credit Agreement provides the Company with a $73.25 million borrowing 
base as of March 31, 1999. The borrowing base under the ING facility is 
limited to the collateral value of proved reserves as determined semiannually 
by the Senior Lenders. At March 31, 1999, the Company had $70.9 million of 
borrowings and $2.2 million of letter of credit obligations outstanding under 
the ING Credit Agreement.

On March 11, 1999, the Company entered into amendments to the ING Credit 
Agreement and the TCW Credit Agreement. The ING amendment increased the 
borrowing base to $73.25 million. The Company immediately borrowed the 
additional $3.25 million of availability and used the proceeds to reduce 
accounts payable. The Senior Lenders received a warrant to purchase 50,000 
shares of common stock at $1.75 as consideration for entering into the 
amendment. Under the TCW amendment, TCW agreed to defer the quarterly 
payments for interest accruing during the initial six months of 1999 until 
the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the date on which the ING loan is paid in 
full. The amount deferred during the first quarter of 1999 was $1.8 million 
increasing the principal outstanding under the TCW Credit Agreement to $76.8 
million at March 31, 1999. The deferred interest bears 

                                       9
<PAGE>

interest at 12%. TCW received a warrant to purchase 58,512 shares of common 
stock at $1.75 as consideration for entering into the amendment.

The ING Credit Agreement constituted a revolving line of credit until March 
31, 1999, at which time it converted to a term loan payable in quarterly 
installments through March 29, 2003. The quarterly installments, based on a 
$73.25 million borrowing base, are $9.5 million on June 29, 1999, $6.2 
million for the next two quarters, $4.7 million for each quarter of 2000, 
$3.9 million for each quarter of 2001, $3.5 million for each quarter of 2002, 
and $3.0 million on March 29, 2003. The ING loan bears interest, at the 
Company's option, at either (i) the average prime rates announced from time 
to time by The Chase Manhatten Bank, Citibank, N.A. and Morgan Guaranty Trust 
Company of New York plus 0.5% per annum; or (ii) at LIBOR plus 1.75%. The 
Company has consistently selected the LIBOR rate option resulting in a 
currently effective interest rate of approximately 6.8%. As required by the 
ING and TCW Credit Agreements, on April 30, 1998 the Company paid $140,000 to 
put in place an interest rate hedge. The hedge covers the period June 12, 
1998 through December 12, 2000 and effectively provides a 6.75% LIBOR rate 
interest ceiling (before consideration of the 1.75% adjustment) on $35.0 
million of borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement. The ING Credit 
Agreement is secured by a first lien on substantially all assets of the 
Company.

In addition to the $1.8 million of deferred interest discussed above, the TCW 
Credit Agreement is comprised of a $65.0 million tranche and a $10.0 million 
tranche and is payable interest only, at a rate of 9.75% per annum, quarterly 
until the earlier of December 31, 2003 or the date on which the ING loan is 
paid in full (as discussed above, TCW has deferred interest payments during 
the initial six months of 1999). At that time, the TCW Credit Agreement 
converts to a term loan payable in twelve quarterly installments of principal 
and interest. The quarterly principal installments are $6.25 million for the 
first four quarters, $8.75 million for the next four quarters and $3.75 
million for the last four quarters. The Company granted a warrant to TCW to 
purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per 
share any time after September 23, 2000 and before September 23, 2007. Due to 
anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares covered by the initial 
100,000 share warrant has increased to 326,457 shares at an adjusted exercise 
price of $1.04 per share. The Company also granted piggyback registration 
rights in connection with such warrants. TCW is also entitled to additional 
interest on the $65.0 million tranche in an amount that yields TCW a 12.5% 
internal rate of return, such interest payment to be made concurrently with 
the final payment of all principal and interest on the TCW Credit Agreement. 
For purposes of the internal rate of return calculation, the Company is given 
credit for the funding fee of $2.25 million paid to TCW at closing. With 
respect to the $10.0 million tranche, upon payment in full of the TCW Credit 
Agreement by the Company, TCW may elect to "put" their warrants back to the 
Company and accept a cash payment which will cause TCW to achieve a 12.5% 
rate of return on such tranche. The TCW Credit Agreement restricts any 
repayment of the indebtedness until October 1, 1999. The TCW Credit Agreement 
is secured by a second lien on substantially all assets of the Company.

The TCW and ING Credit Agreements have common covenants that restrict the 
payment of cash dividends, borrowings, sale of assets, loans to others, 
investment and merger activity and hedging contracts without the prior 
consent of the lenders and requires the Company to maintain certain net 
worth, interest coverage and working capital ratios. At March 31, 1999, the 
Company was in violation of certain covenants common to both the ING Credit 
Agreement and the TCW Credit Agreement. All lenders have been notified of the 
covenant defaults, including the filings of liens by vendors. Based on the 
recent borrowing base increase and interest deferral, the Company's lenders 
have shown a willingness to help the Company solve its working capital and 
liquidity issues. Although there can be no assurance, the Company does not 
expect its lenders to issue notices of default allowing them to call their 
debt for repayment in the near future. The Company's management is estimating 
that current cash flow projections will not be sufficient to repay scheduled 
maturities. As a result, all borrowings for both of these facilities have 
been classified as current under the cross-collateralization provisions of 
such facilities.

INFLATION AND CHANGES IN PRICES

Inland's revenues and the value of its oil and gas properties have been and 
will be affected by changes in oil and gas prices. Inland's ability to borrow 
from traditional lending sources and to obtain additional capital on 
attractive terms is also substantially dependent on oil and gas prices. Oil 
and gas prices are subject to significant seasonal and other fluctuations 
that are beyond Inland's ability to control or predict. Although certain of 
Inland's costs and expenses 

                                       10
<PAGE>

are affected by the level of inflation, inflation did not have a significant 
effect on Inland's result of operations during the first quarter of 1999 or 
1998.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in 
many existing computer systems as the millennium approaches. The "Year 2000" 
problem is pervasive; virtually every computer operation may be affected in 
some way by the rollover of the digit value to 00. The risk is that computer 
systems will not properly recognize sensitive information when the year 
changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information 
could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail, resulting in 
business interruption.

The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems and is taking 
steps to correct Year 2000 compliance issues. The Company benefits from 
having relatively new computer systems in most locations. The Company 
believes its computer hardware and software is over 95% Year 2000 compliant. 
Computer hardware and software that is not Year 2000 compliant is scheduled 
to be updated before June 1999. The Company's operations are not extremely 
dependent on vendor compliance with Year 2000 issues. To the extent a major 
vendor is not Year 2000 compliant by June 1999, the Company believes that 
alternative vendors that are Year 2000 compliant will be available and 
selected. In summary, management believes that Year 2000 issues can be 
mitigated without a significant effect on the Company's financial position. 
The Company expects to expend less than $50,000 to become fully Year 2000 
compliant. However, given the complexity of the Year 2000 issue, there can be 
no assurance that the Company will be able to address the problem without 
incurring costs that are material to future financial results or future 
financial condition.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK:

     Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the 
value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, 
foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

     INTEREST RATE RISK. Inland is exposed to some market risk due to the 
floating interest rate under the ING Credit Agreement. See Item 7. 
- -"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources." The ING Credit Agreement is a 
revolving line of credit until March 31, 1999, at which time it converts to a 
term loan payable in quarterly installments through March 29, 2003. As of 
March 31, 1999, the ING Credit Facility had a principal balance of $70.9 
million at an average floating interest rate of 6.8% per annum and $2.2 
million of letters of credit obligations outstanding. Assuming no hedge, and 
assuming the principal is paid according to the terms of the loan, an 
increase in interest rates could result in an increase in interest expense on 
the existing principal balance for the remaining term of the loan, as shown 
by the following chart:

</TABLE>

     On April 30, 1998, as required by the ING Credit Agreement, Inland 
entered into an interest rate hedge covering the ING Credit Agreement at a 
cost of $140,000. This interest rate cap agreement with Enron Capital and 
Trade Resources Corp. covers the period June 12, 1998 through December 12, 
2000 and provides a 6.75% LIBOR rate, the net effect of which is to cap the 
interest rate at 8.5% on $35.0 million of borrowings. Pursuant to the ING 
Credit Agreement, this hedge must be renewed or replaced through the 
remaining term of the loan. Assuming the renewal of the terms of the interest 
rate cap agreement, the effect of the hedge through March 29, 2003 will be to 
limit hypothetical increases in interest expenses under the ING Credit 
Agreement, as shown by the following chart:

     COMMODITY RISKS. Inland hedges a portion of its oil and gas production 
to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the market prices thereof. Inland 
uses various financial instruments whereby monthly settlements are based on 
differences between the prices specified in the instruments and the 
settlement prices of certain futures contracts quoted on the NYMEX or certain 
other indices. Gains or losses on hedging activities are recognized as oil 
and gas sales in the period in which the hedged production is sold.

     On March 10, 1999 Inland entered into two swap agreements with Enron 
Capital and Trade Resources Corp. ("Enron"), each of which cover 40,000 
barrels per month of crude oil production during the period April 1, 1999 
through December 31, 1999. The swap price on the first contract is $14.02 and 
the swap price on the second contract is $14.54, based on NYMEX Light Sweet 
Crude Oil Futures Contracts. The potential gains or losses on these contracts 
based on a hypothetical average market price of equivalent product for the 
period from April 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999 are as follows:
