TGC INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 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

Primary earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share are computed
by dividing net earnings (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends,
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
period plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the
assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants.  Fully diluted
earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period plus
the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed
exercise of dilutive stock options, warrants and conversion of the preferred
shares.  There were no preferred shares outstanding during the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

TGC Industries, Inc. ("TGC") reported record revenues and income from
continuing operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Revenue
from continuing operations increased significantly to $4,733,331 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, compared with revenues from continuing
operations of $2,225,255 for the same period of the prior year.  Income from
continuing operations, before the dividend requirement on preferred stock,
increased to $450,742 compared with $47,442 in the second quarter of 1996. 
There were no preferred stock dividends incurred in the first six months of
1996.  Income per common share, on a fully diluted basis, from continuing
operations was $.03 for the second quarter of 1997, as compared with income
from continuing operations of $.01 for the same period of 1996.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, TGC had revenues from
continuing operations of $7,056,651 and income, before dividend requirements
on preferred stock, of $410,890.  This compares to revenue of $4,459,927 and
income from continuing operations of $252,797 for the same period in 1996. 
Income per common share on a fully diluted basis, from continuing operations,
was $.03 for the first six months of 1997, as compared to $.04 for the same
period in 1996.  

TGC has two state-of-the-art Eagle 1500 Channel crews and these crews are
under contract the remainder of 1997, and TGC is booking business for 1998. 
During the third quarter of 1997, TGC expects to add an additional 500
channels to each of the two systems to improve productivity, capabilities,
and revenue;  TGC is in the process of obtaining financing for this
equipment.  

The geophysical business continues to be favorable and strong and management
believes that 1997 will be a record year for revenues and earnings.  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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash of $766,746 was provided from continuing operations for the first six
months of 1997 compared with cash provided from continuing operations of
$861,649 for the first six months of 1996.  The funds generated in the first
six months of 1997 were primarily attributable to net earnings before non-
cash depreciation charges.  Cash used in investing activities for the first
six months of 1997 was primarily for additions to machinery and equipment for
geophysical field operations.  Cash used in financing activities for the
first six months of 1997 was primarily for preferred stock dividend payments
of $459,840 and principal payments of debt obligations in the amount of
$337,002.    

Working capital decreased $599,135 to $(1,884,664) from the December 31, 1996
balance of $(1,285,529) primarily as a result of an increase in trade
accounts payable and current maturities of long-term obligations.  The
Company's current ratio was .6 to 1 at both June 30, 1997, and December 31,
1996.  

As a result of one of the Company's crews suffering immobilization and
equipment losses in the first quarter of 1997 in the California floods, the
Company was able to secure a loan in May 1997 in the amount of $142,600 from
the Small Business Administration on very favorable terms.  

Stockholders equity increased $64,083 from the December 31, 1996 balance of
$3,017,306 to $3,081,389 at June 30, 1997.  This increase is primarily
attributable to income allocable to common stockholders, for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, of $181,120 less a charge associated with the completion
of the spin-off of Chase Packaging Corporation on March 7, 1997 which
resulted in a decrease in stockholders equity of $103,977.
