To the Participants and Administrator
 of the Maxus Energy Corporation
 Employee Shareholding and Investment Plan

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Maxus Energy Corporation Employee Shareholding and Investment
Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the plan's management, our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in Schedules I
and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required by
ERISA.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         -----------------------------


NOTE 1 - THE PLAN:
- - - - - ----------------- 

The Maxus Energy Corporation Employee Shareholding and Investment Plan (the
"Plan") is a defined contribution employee benefit plan in which most full-time
salaried and full-time hourly employees of Maxus Energy Corporation (the
"Corporation"), except for members of any bargaining unit which has not accepted
the Plan, are eligible to participate.  An employee is eligible to enroll in the
Plan on the first day of the month following the date of employment.  The
previous description  provides only general information.  Participants should
refer to the summary plan description or the Plan document for a more complete
explanation of the Plan's provisions.


NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
- - - - - ---------------------------- 

Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting.  The trustee holds and manages the funds and
distributes cash and stock to the Plan participants.

The assets of the Government Securities Fund, the Equity Fund, the Retirement
Money Market Fund and the Growth & Income Fund are invested in separate funds
managed by independent registered investment advisors.

Valuation of Investments - Investments are valued at current value based on
quoted market prices.  Net market appreciation or depreciation of the
investments is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits.  The gains or losses on forfeitures are determined by comparing
the current value of the Plan amounts forfeited with their average cost.

Calculation of Investment Gains and Losses - The realized (gain) loss on sale of
investments as reported in the statement of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits is calculated based on historical cost.  Net unrealized
(appreciation) depreciation on investments as reported in the statement of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits represents the net change in
market value of securities held during the year, with adjustments for securities
sold.

Forfeitures- A participant forfeits any non-vested employer contributions upon
termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, death or
disability.  Forfeitures are utilized to reduce the Corporation's matching
contributions and were immaterial for 1993.



F-5

<PAGE>
 
Under ERISA guidelines, and for Form 5500 reporting purposes, the (gain) loss on
the sale of investments and (appreciation) depreciation on investments is
calculated on a current value basis rather than the historical cost basis as
described above.  This results in a difference between the amounts reported on
Form 5500 compared to the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits included herein. Under ERISA guidelines, the (gain) loss on sale of
investments and (appreciation) depreciation on investments were as follows for
the year ended December 31, 1993:

</TABLE>

Participants Loans - Loans outstanding aggregating $2,264,155 and $1,638,483 at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and bearing interest at a bank's prime
rate, are not included in the statement of net assets available for plan
benefits.

A participant may obtain a loan from all of his accounts.  Both the principal
and interest portions of the repayments are credited to the accounts from which
the loan proceeds were obtained in the same proportion as the proceeds were
obtained.

Expenses - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Corporation.

NOTE 3 - PLAN PARTICIPATION AND WITHDRAWALS:
- - - - - ------------------------------------------- 

There were approximately 910 participants (875 in 1992) contributing to the Plan
at December 31, 1993. A participating employee may invest his contributions in
multiples of five percent in one or more of the following active funds: the
Government Securities Fund, the Maxus Stock Fund, the Equity Fund, the
Retirement Money Market Fund and the Growth & Income Fund. Participants with
balances in the various funds were as follows:

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
 
The Corporation contributes an amount equal to a participant's contribution,
limited to a maximum of six percent of the participant's base pay.  This
matching contribution can be made in cash or in the Corporation's common stock.
The number of common shares contributed, if the latter selection is made, is
based upon the market price of the stock on the day preceding the contribution.
Matching contributions were made in the Corporation's common stock in 1992 and
1993.

Participating employees receive a lump sum payment of all vested contributions
upon retirement, disability, death or termination.  Also, participating
employees may make a withdrawal from their participant after-tax accounts and
their vested employer contributed accounts at the end of any month.  If a
participant makes such a withdrawal, one year must elapse before another can be
made.


NOTE 4 - VESTED INTEREST IN PLAN EQUITY:
- - - - - --------------------------------------- 

Plan participants are vested at all times in their employee contributed
accounts. Vesting of employer contributions to a participant's account is
achieved upon five years of service.  In the event of retirement, death or
disability, the participant immediately becomes fully vested.  In addition, in
the event the Plan is terminated or partially terminated, employer contributions
are discontinued, or a subsidiary of the Corporation terminates its
participation in the Plan, the affected participants' employer contributed
accounts will become fully vested.  If a participant's employment is terminated
by the Corporation or if a participant voluntarily terminates employment within
30 days after being required to assume less pay, less responsibility or a lower
job classification or to move more than 20 miles to a new workplace anytime
during a two-year period following a change in control of the Corporation, the
participant's employer contributed accounts will become non-forfeitable and
fully vested.

During 1993, participants withdrew $576,288 in vested employer contributions.


NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES:
- - - - - --------------------- 


Management believes that the plan is qualified under section 401(a) and 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore is exempt from taxation under section
501(c).  The Internal Revenue Service granted a favorable letter of
determination to the plan in August of 1986.  Employees participating in the
plan are taxed at the time of distribution on the amount on which applicable
taxes have not been paid.

Management is unaware of any variations in the operations of the Plan from the
terms of the Plan documents as amended. Management believes the Plan is
qualified under the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA.
The Plan has complied with the fidelity bonding requirements of ERISA.

The market price per share of the Corporation's common stock at December 31,
1993 and 1992 used in the above table for the Maxus Stock Fund was $5-1/2 and
$6-5/8, respectively.


Note 7 - CONTINGENCIES:
- - - - - ---------------------- 

The Plan has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by former Plan
participants who claim they are entitled to certain forfeited benefits due to an
alleged partial termination of the Plan.  It is believed that this lawsuit is
without merit and will not pose a significant liability to the Plan.
