                          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                          (unaudited)


NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments, which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim periods have been reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial
statements. For further information regarding accounting policies, refer to the
Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1994 and
1995 included in its 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The average number of
shares outstanding reflected in the net loss per share of common stock for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 gives effect to the 1995 Stock Compensation Plan
(the "1995 Plan"), which provided for the issuance of shares of common stock to
certain employees and consultants whose cash compensation was reduced by 30%
effective April 1, 1995.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY AND MANAGEMENT PLANS:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered
recurring operating losses and cash flow and working capital deficits that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to meet its current and future expenditure
obligations necessary to fully evaluate and develop its oil and gas properties
and to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, management determined that the
Company should seek additional debt and/or equity capital in order to meet its
current working capital requirements and to fully pursue new exploration
opportunities in accordance with its business plan.

In May 1996, four members of the Company's six member board of directors
("Noteholders") loaned $1,100,000 (the "May Notes") to the Company, the proceeds
of which were applied to pay trade and other accounts payable, repay the
Company's loan from its bank, to pay the March 31, 1996 quarterly dividend on
the Series A Preferred Stock, and to fund the Company's share of 3-D seismic
survey costs on the Company's exploration prospects. The May Notes are
structured as 12% convertible promissory notes in the original principal amount
of $1,100,000, and common stock purchase warrants entitling the Noteholders to
purchase from the Company, for a period of five (5) years, 1,100,000 shares of
Texoil, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.3125 per share (the
"Warrants"). The May Notes have a 12 month maturity with interest payable
monthly in arrears and prepayment rights at any time, subject to the right of
the Noteholders to convert the outstanding debt under the May Notes into Texoil,
Inc. common stock at $0.80 per share. The May Notes were collateralized by a
first priority security interest in all the Company's oil and gas reserves of
the Company and the Company's wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Texoil Company.

Recognizing that the net proceeds from the May Notes were insufficient to fund
the Company's share of anticipated land, drilling and completion costs in the
event that the 3-D seismic interpretation successfully results in
recommendations to drill exploratory well(s), the Company continued to undertake
additional capital raising efforts and subsequently entered into a commitment
letter with Resource Investors Management Company ("RIMCO") to finance future
costs of its exploration program (see Note 4 - Subsequent Events).

                                  Page 6 of 15

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE:

Indebtedness at June 30, 1996, totalling $2,200,000, includes $1,100,000
outstanding under promissory notes ("Bridge Notes") due to two of the Company's
stockholders bearing interest at 2% above prime rate and $1,100,000 outstanding
under the May Notes. These notes have been classified as current in the
accompanying interim financial statements.

The $1,100,000 Bridge Notes represent the unpaid portion of borrowings
aggregating $2,237,500 from a total of nine individuals (five of whom are
stockholders) during 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 in order to finance its working
capital needs. In accordance with the terms of the underlying Bridge Notes.
$800,000 was repaid upon closing of the Company's public offering in June 1994
and $337,500 was repaid by the due date, resulting in a balance of $1,100,000 at
June 30, 1996. The lenders agreed to extend the maturity of their notes to the
earlier of the date of execution by the Company of any letter of intent to merge
the Company with another party, or effective control of the Company changes to
another party, or September 1, 1996. One of the two remaining lenders was repaid
$100,000 on July 10, 1996. Management anticipates that additional extensions of
maturity will be obtained from the remaining lender.

The May Notes totalling $1,100,000 are 12% convertible promissory notes maturing
in May, 1997. At the option of the Noteholders all or any part of the May Notes
may be converted at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $0.80 per share. The Noteholders also received Warrants to purchase
from the Company, for a period of five (5) years, 1,100,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.3125 per share. The May Notes were
collateralized by a first priority security interest in certain of the Company's
oil and gas reserves of the Company and of its wholly owner operating
subsidiary, Texoil Company. As discussed in Note 4-Subsequent Events, the
Noteholders have agreed to restructure the May Notes whereby the Warrants will
be eliminated and the collateral will be assigned to RIMCO upon closing of the
RIMCO financing.

On May 6, 1996, the Company's $240,000 outstanding credit/term loan with a bank
was repaid.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On August 1, 1996, the Company received a commitment from Resource Investors
Management Company ("RIMCO") to provide up to $8,000,000 in two separate
financings to fund the Company's 3-D seismic exploration program. The first
financing, in the form of Senior Secured Convertible General Obligation Notes
issued by the Company in the maximum amount of $3,000,000 (Convertible Notes)
will be used primarily to fund leasehold, drilling and completion costs for the
Company's Greens Lake and Raceland prospects on which 3-D seismic data
acquisition is nearing completion. The second financing, in the form of Senior
Secured General Obligation Notes (the "Senior Notes") issued by the Company in
the maximum amount of $5,000,000 will be used primarily to fund future
leasehold, drilling and completion costs for the Laurel Grove Prospect,
subsequent wells in the Greens Lake and Raceland Prospects, and up-front land
and other costs associated with new 3-D seismic projects. These financings by
RIMCO compliment that $1,100,000 financing previously announced by the Company
in May, 1996 (the "May Notes") by four members of the Company's Board of
Directors ("Noteholders") which was used to fund the Company's share of 3-D
seismic data acquisition costs and for general corporate purposes.

The Company may borrow under the Convertible Notes for a period of one year
after the closing date and the Convertible notes will mature three years after
the closing date. Amounts advanced under the Convertible Notes will accrue
interest at a fixed, annual rate of 10%. Interest will be payable at maturity.
The Convertible Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into the Company's
Common Stock at a per share price equal to $.80 (which is subject to
adjustment). The Company

                                  Page 7 of 15

has the right to require RIMCO to convert the debt under the Convertible Notes
into the Company's Common Stock on certain terms and conditions. After
$2,800,000 in principal has been advanced under the Convertible Notes, the
Company may borrow under the Senior Notes for a period of three years after the
closing date and the Senior Notes will mature six years after the closing date.
Amounts advanced under the Senior Notes will accrue interest at a fixed, annual
rate of 10%. Interest and principal on the Senior Notes will be paid monthly
from certain revenues generated by the assets pledged to RIMCO to secure the
Senior Notes. Advances under the Senior Notes for future drilling and completion
costs will be contingent upon the Company maintaining an agreed upon borrowing
base.

The Convertible Notes and the Senior Notes will each be secured by all of the
existing and future oil and gas assets of the Company and its operating
subsidiary, Texoil Company. In addition, RIMCO will receive an assignment of a
1.0% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest, proportionately reduced to the
interest of the Company or Texoil Company, in all wells drilled and/or completed
with proceeds from the Senior Notes

The Noteholders have agreed to restructure the May Notes upon the closing of the
RIMCO financing so that their warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock will be eliminated and all collateral which secures the
May Notes will be released or assigned to RIMCO. Other elements of the Company's
overall corporate debt will also be restructured pending final loan
documentation. Upon closing of the RIMCO financings, neither the Convertible
Notes, the Senior Notes, nor the May Notes will require the Company to issue any
warrants.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil
and gas properties. Under the full cost method, all costs of acquisition,
exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized into
a "full cost pool" for each cost center (generally defined as a country). Oil
and gas properties in the pool are depleted and charged to operations using the
unit of production method based on the ratio of current production to total
proved recoverable oil and natural gas reserves. Under the full cost method, to
the extent that capitalized costs (net of depreciation, depletion and
amortization) exceed the future net revenues of estimated proved oil and natural
gas reserves on an after-tax basis, such excess costs are charged to operations
as additional depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Certain costs
associated with the acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties may,
however, be excluded from amortization until it is determined whether or not
proved reserves can be assigned to the properties.

At June 30, 1996, the Company's estimated discounted future net revenues from
estimated proved reserves on an after-tax basis approximate the net capitalized
costs in the Company's full cost pool. So long as this condition continues, any
excess of the company's full cost pool over the discounted future net revenues
from proved reserves on an after-tax basis may result in charges to the
Company's operations. Such excesses could result from writedowns of proved
reserve quantities or declines in oil and gas prices. Certain events and
conditions that may cause such charges cannot be reasonably predicted by the
Company. Once incurred, a writedown of oil and gas properties cannot be reversed
at a later date even if reserve quantities are subsequently increased or oil and
gas prices subsequently rise.

On May 31, 1996, the Company elected to receive a proportionately reduced 2.5%
overriding royalty interest ("ORRI") on the Texas Meridian Resources Corporation
("TMR") new discovery in the East Cameron 3-D Prospect in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana. The discovery well, C.F. Henry No. 1-27 achieved a rate of 1,766
barrels of oil per day plus 664 thousand cubic feet of gas per day on an 11/64"
choke with a flowing tubing pressure of 6,452 psig. A small portion of the
acreage in which the Company has the right to participate with TMR is being
considered for inclusion in a producing unit for the Abbeville reservoir, which
was found productive in the TMR, C.F. Henry No. 1-27 discovery well and the
subsequently drilled C.F. Henry No. 2 development well. The extent of inclusion
of the Company's participation rights will be determined at a hearing conducted
by the Louisiana Office of Conservation in Baton Rouge and its ORRI
participation will be adjusted proportionately. Accordingly, the Company is
unable to predict with certainty the possible addition of reserves that may
result from its non-operated participation with Texas Meridian Resources
Corporation ("TMR") in the South Louisiana prospects it sold to TMR in an
agreement dated December 31, 1992.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS AND SIX
 MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

The Company recorded net losses of $196,004 and $74,510 in the three months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Such amounts are included in net
losses of $357,036 and $205,394 in the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1996, respectively. The reductions in these comparative net losses resulted from
the following factors:

</TABLE>

The increase in oil and gas production income in the three month period ended
June 30, 1996 is primarily attributable to a decrease in lease operating
expenses effected by the shutting-in of the S.L. 12789 No.1 and the S.L. 12503
No.1 in the Main Pass Block 3 field and by having plugged and abandoned the
Murrell No.1 in the Dorcyville field. Both of these are among the areas where
the Company's lease operating expenses are high. The $38,154 decrease in oil and
gas production income for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 is primarily
attributable to the $49,000 decrease that occurred in the first three months of
1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. That decrease was primarily
attributable to the decrease in production volumes occurring primarily in the
Main Pass Block 3 field and at the non-operated S.W. Lake Beouf field, where
natural decline in the Ariel No. 1 well production is taking effect. The
production tax increases in the three and six months periods ended June 30,
1996, are due to the reinstatement of taxes, as provided for in Act No. 2 of
Louisiana statutory taxation, after the Ariel No. 1 well achieved payout.

The decreases in depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense were
due to the decreases in oil and gas production volumes largely resulting from
the shutting-in of the Main Pass Block 3 field wells. Partially offsetting the
effect of lower production volumes were increases in the Company's DD&A rates
from $8.22 per barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") in the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1995 to $10.73 per BOE in the three months and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996. The increased DD&A rates in 1996 reflect relatively
higher cost additions associated with a dry hole drilled on the Company's Buras
Landing Prospect in the second and third quarters of 1995 and workover costs on
the S.L. 12503 No.1 in the Main Pass Block 3 field.

The decreases in net general and administrative expenses in both 1996 periods
are comprised primarily of (i) salary reductions due to a reduction in the
number of employees subsequent to March 31, 1995, (ii) the 30% salary reductions
implemented with the 1995 Stock Compensation Plan effective April 1, 1995 and
(iii) $64,000 of overhead reimbursement paid to the Company during the first
half of 1996 by its partners in the Raceland Prospect which were partially
offset by (iv) a $33,000 increase in fees associated with corporate
capitalization efforts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS. The Company has suffered
recurring operating losses and cash flow and working capital deficits that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to meet its current and future expenditure
obligations necessary to fully evaluate and develop its oil and gas properties
and to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, management determined that the
Company should seek additional debt and/or equity capital in order to meet its
current working capital requirements and to fully pursue new exploration
opportunities in accordance with its business plan.

On April 17, 1996, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to
merge into Fortune Petroleum Corporation ("Fortune"). The transaction was
subsequently terminated. The letter of intent provided for payment of liquidated
damages in the amount of $50,000 if the board of directors of either party
failed to approve the merger transaction on the terms substantially as set forth
in the letter of intent. Each party claimed that the other owed the liquidated
damages payment and settlement negotiations were initiated. In consideration for
the sum of $35,000 paid by Texoil to Fortune, Texoil and Fortune entered into a
Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement on July 30, 1996.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS. Texoil's net cash flow from operations resulted in a
deficit of $7,701 and a surplus of $81,722 for the six month periods ended June
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The change in the Company's operating cash flow
in the first six months of 1996 is primarily due to a reduction in net loss due
to a reduction in net general and administrative expenses and also to a decrease
in the Company's long-term liabilities when the bank loan was repaid. Lease
operating expenses were also lower in 1996. These improvements were partially
offset by lower oil and gas sales in 1996.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING. In May 1996, four members of the Company's six member
board of directors ("Noteholders") loaned $1,100,000 (the "May Notes") to the
Company, the proceeds of which were applied to pay trade and other accounts
payable, repay the Company's loan from its bank, to pay the March 31, 1996
quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, and to fund the Company's
share of 3-D seismic survey costs on the Company's exploration prospects. The
May Notes are structured as 12% convertible promissory notes in the principal
amount totalling $1,100,000, and common stock purchase warrants entitling the
Noteholders to purchase from the Company, for a period of five (5) years,
1,100,000 shares of Texoil, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.3125
per share (the "Warrants"). The May Notes have a 12 month maturity with interest
payable monthly in arrears and prepayment rights at any time, subject to the
right of the Noteholders to convert to common stock at $0.80 per share. The May
Notes were collateralized by a first priority security interest in all the
Company's oil and gas reserves.

                                  Page 11 of 15

Recognizing that the net proceeds from the May Notes were insufficient to fund
the Company's share of anticipated land, drilling and completion costs in the
event that the 3-D seismic interpretation successfully results in
recommendations to drill exploratory well(s), the Company continued to undertake
additional capital raising efforts and subsequently entered into a commitment
letter with Resource Investors Management Company ("RIMCO") to finance future
costs of its exploration program.

On August 1, 1996, the Company received a commitment from Resource Investors
Management Company ("RIMCO") to provide up to $8,000,000 in two separate
financings to fund the Company's 3-D seismic exploration program. The first
financing, in the form of Senior Secured Convertible General Obligation Notes
issued by the Company in the maximum amount of $3,000,000 (Convertible Notes)
will be used primarily to fund leasehold, drilling and completion costs for the
Company's Greens Lake and Raceland prospects on which 3-D seismic data
acquisition is nearing completion. The second financing, in the form of Senior
Secured General Obligation Notes (the "Senior Notes") issued by the Company in
the maximum amount of $5,000,000 will be used primarily to fund future
leasehold, drilling and completion costs for the Laurel Grove Prospect,
subsequent wells in the Greens Lake and Raceland Prospects, and up-front land
and other costs associated with new 3-D seismic projects. These financings by
RIMCO compliment that $1,100,000 financing previously announced by the Company
in May, 1996 (the "May Notes") by four members of the Company's Board of
Directors ("Noteholders") which was used to fund the Company's share of 3-D
seismic data acquisition costs and for general corporate purposes.

The Company may borrow under the Convertible Notes for a period of one year
after the closing date and the Convertible notes will mature three years after
the closing date. Amounts advanced under the Convertible Notes will accrue
interest at a fixed, annual rate of 10%. Interest will be payable at maturity.
The Convertible Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into the Company's
Common Stock at a per share price equal to $.80 (which is subject to
adjustment). The Company has the right to require RIMCO to convert the debt
under the Convertible Notes into the Company's Common Stock on certain terms and
conditions. After $2,800,000 in principal has been advanced under the
Convertible Notes, the Company may borrow under the Senior Notes for a period of
three years after the closing date and the Senior Notes will mature six years
after the closing date. Amounts advanced under the Senior Notes will accrue
interest at a fixed, annual rate of 10%. Interest and principal on the Senior
Notes will be paid monthly from certain revenues generated by the assets pledged
to RIMCO to secure the Senior Notes. Advances under the Senior Notes for future
drilling and completion costs will be contingent upon the Company maintaining an
agreed upon borrowing base.

The Convertible Notes and the Senior Notes will each be secured by all of the
existing and future oil and gas assets of the Company and its operating
subsidiary, Texoil Company. In addition, RIMCO will receive an assignment of a
1.0% of 8/8ths overriding royalty interest, proportionately reduced to the
interest of the Company or Texoil Company, in all wells drilled and/or completed
with proceeds from the Senior Notes

The Noteholders have agreed to restructure the May Notes upon the closing of the
RIMCO financing so that their warrants to purchase 1,100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock will be eliminated and all collateral which secures the
May Notes will be released or assigned to RIMCO. Other elements of the Company's
overall corporate debt will also be restructured pending final loan
documentation. Upon closing of the RIMCO financings, neither the Convertible
Notes, the Senior Notes, nor the May Notes will require the Company to issue any
warrants.

FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The Company anticipates making further capital
expenditures during the remainder of 1996 to complete the acquisition of 3-D
seismic data in its Raceland prospect and to acquire leases by exercising
existing lease options on the Company-operated Raceland prospect and the
non-operated Greens Lake (operated by Burlington Resources) prospects. The
acquisition of the 3-D seismic data is now completed on the Greens Lake prospect
and Raceland is anticipated to be completed in August, 1996. 3-D seismic data
processing and interpretation will follow shortly thereafter. A third prospect,
the Laurel Grove prospect is operated by Phillips Petroleum and field survey
operations are estimated to begin in November, 1996. The Company will continue
to evaluate generating or acquiring new prospects and will continue to evaluate
its participation rights related to the December 31, 1992, agreement with TMR in
its South Louisiana 3-D exploration programs. In the event the 3-D seismic
interpretations result in recommendations to drill exploratory well(s), the
Company anticipates making additional capital expenditures to drill the test
well(s).

                                            discounted at 10%, of future net
                                            revenues relating to the Properties'
                                            proved developed producing oil and

                                            by averaging the lowest two values.
                                            Such average shall be the Borrowing
                                            Base until the next redetermination
