  (1)    The Company provides group insurance benefits for its executive
         officers which are generally available to all salaried employees,
         including medical and dental insurance, term life insurance, and
         long-term disability insurance.  In addition, executive officers of

         purposes.  A certain amount of personal use of these benefits may be
         made by the recipients.  After reasonable inquiry, the Company has

         Smith were comprised, in part, of cash payments for accrued but unused
         vacation time in the amount of $13,846 and $8,307, respectively.  For
         1992, the salaries of Messrs. Giard, Smith, Tholstrom and DeBoer were
         comprised, in part, of cash payments for accrued but unused vacation
         time in the amounts of $21,635, $8,625, $1,322 and $11,923,
         respectively.

  (3)    In 1994, the Company contributed an amount equal to 7.5% (to a maximum
         of $11,250) of 1994 cash compensation to each employee's account in
         respect of the Company's 401(k) Plan which was established January 1,
         1994.  Participation of an employee in the 401(k) Plan commences upon
         employment.

  (4)    The options listed for 1993 and 1994 are shares of Class A Common
         Stock and for 1992 are shares of Class B Common Stock other than Mr.
         Hardesty's shares which are Class A Common Stock.  See "Stock Option
         Grants" and "Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation".

  (5)    Includes Company contributions to the Company's Employee Stock
         Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") in an amount equal to (i) in 1994, 7.5% 
         (to a maximum of $11,250) and (ii) in 1993 and 1992, 15% (to a maximum
         of $30,000) of cash compensation paid in each calendar year.
         Participation of an employee in the ESOP was subject to a one-year
         waiting period until August 1, 1994, at which time the ESOP was
         amended to allow participation upon employment.

  (6)    Includes estimated accruals of $263,155 and $135,138 in the Company's
         financial statements in 1994 and 1993, respectively, for the benefit

  (1)    The options listed cover shares of Class A Common Stock which become
         exercisable in equal increments during the first four years of
         continuous employment after the grant date of December 13, 1994,
         except that if the price of the Company's Class A Common Stock equals
         or exceeds $4.00 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days,
         fifty percent (50%) of the then unvested shares automatically vest,
         and if such price equals or exceeds $6.00 per share for ten
         consecutive trading days, the then unvested shares become one hundred
         percent (100%) vested.  The exercise price was equal to 171% of the
         closing price of Class A Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange
         on December 13, 1994.

  (2)    The grant date present value is determined by using the Black-Scholes
         Model.  The Black-Scholes Model is a complicated mathematical formula
         widely used to value exchange traded options.  However, stock options
         granted by the Company to its executives differ from exchange traded
         options in three key respects: options granted by the Company to its
         executives are long-term, non-transferable 



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6


        and subject to vesting restrictions while exchange traded options are
        short-term and can be exercised or sold immediately in a liquid market. 
        In this presentation, the Black-Scholes Model has been adapted to
        estimate the present value of the options set forth in the table, taking
        into consideration a number of factors, including an expected volatility
        of 157%, a risk-free rate of return of 7%, a dividend yield of 0% and 
        an exercise period of 10 years.  No adjustments were made for
        non-transferability or risk of forfeiture.  Consequently, because the
        Black-Scholes Model has been adapted to value the options set forth in
        the table and is assumption-based, it may not accurately determine
        present value.  The actual value, if any, an optionee will realize will
        depend on the excess of the market value of the shares over the exercise
        price on the date the option is exercised.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS AND PENSION PLANS

         The Company has no long-term incentive plan or defined benefit or
actuarial plan.  However, Messrs. Giard and Smith have each entered into a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement (the "SERP Agreement") with the
Company which provides each officer with cash benefits upon retirement in the
form of a ten year annuity with annual payments equal to a maximum of sixty
percent (60%) of each officer's average annual salary and bonus for the three
(3) years preceding retirement.  The amount of annual benefit upon retirement
is equal to (i) the officer's final average earnings multiplied by a percentage
factor based upon years of service to the Company weighted separately for each
officer so that termination of employment at age sixty-five (65) provides a
maximum factor of sixty percent (60%) reduced by (ii) the value upon
retirement, of such officer's ESOP account and any other amounts payable to
such officer under any other qualified retirement plans adopted by the Company
subsequent to the SERP Agreement.  Accordingly, the annual benefits payable
upon retirement at normal retirement age for Messrs. Giard and Smith are
difficult to estimate due to the offsetting value upon retirement of each
officer's ESOP account which is comprised solely of equity securities of the
Company.  As of April 21, 1995, Mr. Giard is credited with 9 years of service
and Mr. Smith is credited with 7 years of service.

REPORT ON REPRICING OF OPTIONS

         The Company has not adjusted or amended the exercise price of stock
options previously awarded to any of the named executive officers other than as
reported in previous proxy statements.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

         No executive officer of the Company has an employment contract and
there is no compensatory plan or arrangement in respect of the resignation,
retirement or any other termination of any executive officer's employment with
the Company or a change-in-control or any change in executive responsibilities
following a change-in-control.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         The current members of the Compensation Committee are William D.
Benjes, Jr., John W. Hyland, Jr. and J. Howard Marshall, II.  No member of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors during the last fiscal year is
or formerly was an officer or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.  No executive officer of the Company and no member of the
Compensation Committee has or had any relationships requiring disclosure under
regulations applicable to this report.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The Compensation Committee reviews and determines all compensation
matters for the Company's executive officers.  The executive compensation
program is comprised of salary, annual cash and 401(k) incentives as well as
long-term incentives principally in the form of employee stock options and
stock contributed to the ESOP.  Each year the Compensation Committee determines
salary adjustments, if any, and the level of benefit grants under the Company's
Executive Bonus Program (the "EBP") and its Incentive Stock Option Plan (the
"ISOP") as well as the contribution levels in respect of its 401(k) Plan and
ESOP.  Generally, the Compensation Committee meets toward the end of each
fiscal year (and/or shortly thereafter) to consider executive compensation
matters, largely based on the achievements of the Company in relation to
certain performance targets.  In respect of such matters, the Compensation
Committee also considers independent compensation studies relating to
compensation practices in the independent oil and gas industry, including
William M. Mercer, Incorporated and KPMG Peat Marwick.  Such studies are
comprised of independent oil and gas companies choosing to participate therein
which differ from the companies comprising the Standard & Poor's Oil (Domestic
Integrated) Index used in the performance graph included herein.  The
Compensation Committee believes that the compensation paid by such independent
companies, with a predominantly exploration and production (non-integrated)
line of business, is a better basis for compensation comparison than the
integrated companies included in the performance graph.

         The Compensation Committee's executive compensation practices are
designed to provide competitive levels of base salary, annual bonus awards
under the EBP and stock option grants under the ISOP for the Company's
executive officers, that, in order of relative importance, (i) reflect the
Company's achievements in respect of the specific performance targets outlined
below, (ii) recognize individual initiative and achievement as well as levels
of compensation in the independent oil and gas industry, and (iii) assist the
Company in attracting and retaining qualified executives.  The Compensation
Committee utilizes compensation studies to assure that the various components
of the Company's total compensation approximate survey averages within the
independent oil and gas industry, subject to further adjustment upon the
subjective determination of the Compensation Committee in respect of the three
foregoing factors.

         In addition to the three factors set forth above and the compensation
surveys which are generally utilized by the Compensation Committee in respect
of setting levels of total compensation for the executive officers as a group,
the Compensation Committee also considers various levels of responsibility,
prior experience, breadth of knowledge and internal equity issues in setting
base salary levels.  Such salary levels for 1994 for the executive officers as
a group approximated compensation survey averages.





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
         Mr. Giard's 1994 base salary of $360,000 was determined in December
1993 and represented an increase of 13% vis-a-vis his 1993 salary level,
reflecting the Company's favorable 1993 performance as well as competitive and
other factors existing at that time.

         In establishing the amounts of the 1994 bonus awards under the EBP and
the stock option grants under the ISOP, the Compensation Committee in
particular reviewed the Company's achievements in respect of its performance
targets for 1994 which included:  (i) oil and gas reserve replacement - the
Company's yearend 1994 proved hydrocarbon reserves, on an equivalent barrel
("BOE") basis, were to be equal to or greater than 107.5% of the Company's 1993
yearend proved hydrocarbon reserves; (ii) return on capital - the rate of
return on the capital of the Company, based on its 1994 EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes and depreciation, as adjusted for the impact of oil and gas
production rates and pricing scenarios), was to be 15% or greater; and (iii)
net asset value - the Company's adjusted net asset value as of yearend 1994
would be 10% greater than such net asset value as of yearend 1993.  The
Company's achievements in 1994 relative to such targets (each of which the
Compensation Committee weighed equally) were slightly less than the percentage
goals set forth above.

         The Compensation Committee also noted that the Company's production
costs declined substantially in 1994 to $3.71 per BOE, compared to $4.10 per
BOE in 1993.

         In consideration of the Company's performance in 1994 in respect of
its targeted goals, as well as in realizing significant operating efficiencies
in such year, the Compensation Committee made a subjective determination that
the executive officers as a group should receive the stock option grants under
the ISOP discussed in detail under "Stock Option Grants", which consisted of
grant date option values that ranged from 2% to 4% of base salary.  The
Compensation Committee also determined that no cash bonus awards should be made
under the EBP except to Mr. Tholstrom who received a bonus equal to 15.7% of
his base salary.

         For 1994, Mr. Giard was awarded an option to purchase 114,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock which primarily reflected the Company's overall 1994
achievements relative to its performance targets, as described above.

         In respect of the 401(k) Plan and the ESOP, which relate to all
Company employees, the Compensation Committee has in recent years authorized
annual contributions to the ESOP in the form of the Company's common stock for
each employee of the Company (including the executive officers as a group) in
an amount equal to 15% (up to a maximum of $30,000 per employee) of such
employee's eligible cash compensation.  In 1994, the Company adopted a 401(k)
Plan in which all employees are allowed to participate.  The Committee elected
to split the annual contribution for 1994 equally between the 401(k) Plan and
the ESOP in an amount equal in each case to 7.5% (up to a maximum of $11,250)
of each employee's cash compensation.  The annual amount of these contributions
is determined by the Compensation Committee based upon general levels of
compensation in the independent oil and gas industry and without specific
reference to the above-mentioned executive compensation practices which relate
to the executive officers as a group.

         The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 contains provisions
which limit the tax deductibility of executive compensation in excess of $1
million per year, subject to certain exceptions.  The current policy of the
Company is to design its compensation programs to preserve the tax
deductibility of compensation paid to its executive officers and other members
of management.  However, the Compensation Committee could in the future
determine, taking into consideration the relevant factors then in existence, to
make awards or approve compensation that does not qualify for a compensation
deduction for tax purposes, if the Compensation Committee believes it is in the
Company's interest to do so.

         The Compensation Committee intends to maintain its practice of
providing a competitive salary structure for its CEO and other executive
officers and basing salary levels, bonus and other compensation





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
on corporate and individual performance.  In this respect the Compensation
Committee continues to establish annual performance goals to be achieved by the
CEO and the Company's other executive officers.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Directors of the Company are each entitled to receive $2,500 for each
meeting of the Board of Directors and $2,000 for each meeting of a committee
(other than the Nominating Committee) of the Board of Directors that they
attend in addition to reimbursement for travel expenses.  Directors who are
also employees of the Company are not compensated separately for their service
as directors of the Company or its subsidiaries.

STOCK OPTION PLANS FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

         Under the Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the 1989 Stock
Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, the 1991 Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors, the 1992 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
and the 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (collectively, the
"DSOPs"), each of the then current non-employee directors of the Company was
granted options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock and each then current non-employee director who was a member of the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors was granted an option to purchase
additional shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.  The
aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such options is
175,000 and of Class B Common Stock subject to such options is 213,571.  The 
exercise price for such options was the market price for the applicable Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the dates when each of the DSOPs was 
approved by the Compensation Committee, as ratified by the Company's 
stockholders.  No options granted under the DSOPs have been exercised.


ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

         Class A Common Stock.  The following table shows, as of April 21,
1995, the beneficial ownership (shares owned or that may be acquired within
sixty (60) days) of Class A Common Stock by (a) each person known by the
Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock, (b) each current director and executive
officer and (c) all of the Company's current executive officers and directors
as a group.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at
the option of the holder into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock.  The right
to acquire Class A Common Stock in this manner is reflected in the following
table which assumes conversion of all beneficially owned shares of Class B
