NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 1997
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and changes in financial position in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
NOTE B--MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations, and changes in financial position have been included.
The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1996 filed on Form 10-KSB.
NOTE C--EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The computation of earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents, if dilutive,
outstanding during the period. Net earnings (loss) used in the computation
of earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are
reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
TGC Industries, Inc. ("TGC") reported revenues from continuing operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, of $2,323,320 compared with revenues
from continuing operations of $2,234,672 for the same period of the prior
year. TGC reported a loss from continuing operations, before the dividend
requirement on preferred stock, of $39,852 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. This compares with income from continuing operations of $205,355
for the same period of 1996. There were no preferred stock dividends
incurred in the first quarter of 1996. Loss per common share from continuing
operations, after dividend requirements on preferred stock, was $.02 for the
first quarter of 1997, compared with income from continuing operations of
$.03 for the same period of 1996.
On January 1, 1997, Eagle Crew No. 2 was immobilized and suffered equipment
losses in the California floods. TGC was successful in securing replacement
equipment and the crew returned to work at the end of February. These losses
were partially offset by insurance coverage and TGC experienced a nominal
loss in the first quarter of 1997. The other income of $417,033 was
principally net insurance proceeds for business interruption and equipment
lost or damaged in the California floods.
Despite the weather related problems in the first quarter of 1997, management
believes that 1997 will be a record year for revenues and earnings. TGC has
two state-of-the-art Eagle 1500 Channel crews and these crews are under
contract through October 1997. The geophysical business continues to be
favorable and strong. However, with the unpredictable nature of forecasting
weather, the potential for contract delay or cancellation and the potential
for fluctuations in oil and gas prices, no assurance can be given that
management's expectations can be achieved.
Common shares of Chase Packaging Corporation ("Chase") were distributed on
March 7, 1997 to TGC shareholders, thereby concluding the spin-off of Chase.
The spin-off was effective July 31, 1996. As a result, Chase has been
accounted for as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial
statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash of $168,881 was provided from continuing operations for the first three
months of 1997 compared with cash provided from continuing operations of
$336,456 for the first three months of 1996. The funds generated in the
first three months of 1997 were primarily attributable to net earnings before
non-cash depreciation charges. Cash used in investing activities for the
first three months of 1997 was primarily for additions to machinery and
equipment for geophysical field operations.
Working capital decreased $967,930 to ($2,253,459) from the December 31, 1996
balance of ($1,285,529) primarily as a result of decreases in cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, and costs and estimated earnings in excess
of billings on uncompleted contracts. These decreases were primarily caused
by weather related problems in the first quarter of 1997, and management
believes with the current contracts and expected increase in revenues, the
Company's working capital should improve in the second quarter. The
Company's current ratio was .3 to 1 at March 31, 1997, compared with .6 to 1
at December 31, 1996.
In March of 1997, the Company financed the acquisition of equipment through
a capital lease in the amount of $876,656. In addition, on March 18, 1997,
the Company sold Chase's Portland, Oregon facility for $2,430,000. The
proceeds of the sale were applied in satisfaction of the mortgage
indebtedness with respect to such facility and the excess proceeds were
remitted to Chase pursuant to the spin-off agreement.
Stockholders' equity decreased $143,829 from the December 31, 1996 balance of
$3,017,306 to $2,873,477 at March 31, 1997. The completion of the spin-off
of Chase on March 7, 1997, resulted in a decrease of $103,977 in
stockholders' equity.
PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
a. On March 7, 1997, the Chase common stock was distributed as a stock
dividend to the shareholders of TGC common stock, and on an as if converted
basis, TGC preferred stock. The spin-off of Chase was effective July 31,
1996. As a result, Chase has been accounted for as a discontinued operation
in the accompanying financial statements.

$2,430,000. TGC applied such proceeds in satisfaction of the mortgage
