                         PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements of Magnum Petroleum,  Inc. ("Magnum" or "Company")
required by Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B follow Item 2. Management's Discussion
and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


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

     The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in conjunction  with
Magnum's  consolidated  financial  statements and the notes associated with them
contained  in its Form  10-KSB  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1995.  This
discussion  should not be construed to imply that the results  discussed  herein
will necessarily  continue into the future or that any conclusion reached herein
will necessarily be indicative of actual operating  results in the future.  Such
discussion represents only the best present assessment by management of Magnum.

     On July 21,  1995,  Magnum  closed a  definitive  agreement to combine (the
"Business  Combination")  with Hunter  Resources,  Inc.  ("Hunter"),  subject to
Hunter shareholder approval. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, Magnum issued
to Hunter 2,750,000 shares of newly issued  restricted  common stock in exchange
for  substantially  all of the  assets  of  Hunter,  subject  to its  associated
liabilities.  Hunter's  assets  primarily  consisted  of stock  in  wholly-owned
subsidiaries  and stock  ownership  interests  in  limited  liability  companies
("Hunter Subsidiaries").

     On December 19, 1995 to be effective  December 22, 1995,  Magnum and Hunter
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Plan of Liquidation, as
amended.  The amendment was executed on December 19, 1995 by Hunter shareholders
holding over fifty  percent (50%) of the common stock of Hunter and provided for
the  issuance  to  Hunter of an  additional  2,335,077  shares  of newly  issued
restricted  common  stock  and  111,825  shares  of  Series C  preferred  stock.
Therefore,  the total  consideration paid by Magnum for the Hunter  subsidiaries
was 5,085,077  shares of restricted  common stock and 111,825 shares of Series C
preferred stock.

     Hunter's shareholders have no dissenter rights. However, Hunter is required
to  distribute  an  Information  Statement  and hold a  special  meeting  of its
shareholders  to formally  approve the  Agreement.  Magnum  shares issued in the
Business  Combination are held in escrow pending formal shareholder  approval of
the Agreement.  Subsequent to the Business Combination, Magnum has conducted its
oil and gas operations and energy related  acquisitions in conjunction  with the
Hunter  Subsidiaries.  Acquisitions  completed  by Magnum and  Hunter  after the
initial  agreement,  were completed by Magnum Hunter  Production,  Inc. ("Magnum
Hunter"), a Hunter Subsidiary.  Hunter and its subsidiaries were consolidated in
Magnum's financial statements beginning December 31, 1995.

     On June 26, 1996, Magnum received a commitment from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
as Agent, and Banque Paribas, as Co-agent, (hereinafter collectively referred to
as  "Banks")  for a new credit  facility  for the  benefit of Magnum and several
wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  The  purpose  of the new  line of  credit  is to 1)
refinance the Company's  existing  indebtedness  with First  Interstate  Bank of
Texas,  N.A. (a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank,  N.A.), 2) finance
the  acquisition  of oil and gas reserves  including  the $35.4  million  Panoma
Property acquisition, as discussed below, from Meridian Oil Inc.("Meridian"),  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Burlington  Resources,  Inc.,  3) future  property
development,  and 4) working capital support and general corporate purposes. The
credit facility is subject to a "Borrowing Base" determination established



                                        2

from  time-to-time  by the Banks based upon proven oil and gas  reserves and gas
gathering assets owned by Magnum and its  subsidiaries.  The availability  under
the  Company's  existing  credit  facility  was $16  million  and  has now  been
increased to $48 million based upon the acquisition of the Panoma  properties as
discussed  below.  The new credit  facility gives the Company the flexibility to
choose a range of either "LIBOR" or "Prime" based interest rates options.

     On June 28,  1996,  Magnum  closed on the purchase of 469 natural gas wells
and  approximately  427 miles of a gas gathering  pipeline system from Meridian.
The  net  purchase   price  after  certain   purchase  price   adjustments   was
approximately  $35,350,000,  funded by a loan from  Magnum's  principal  lending
financial  institutions.  As the purchase was not completed until the end of the
second quarter of 1996, the Statements of Operations for the 1996 periods do not
include any operating results for the purchased  properties.  The purchase price
was allocated  based on estimated fair market values  resulting in the recording
of $29,560,000  as oil and gas  properties and $5,790,000 as pipelines.  The gas
wells and gas gathering system are located in the Panhandle of Texas and Western
Oklahoma and are more commonly referred to as the "Panoma Properties."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS IN 1996 AND 1995

     As discussed above,  Magnum  completed a business  combination with Hunter,
which  for  accounting  purposes,  was  recorded  under the  purchase  method of
accounting. Hunter's operations were consolidated with those of Magnum beginning
December 31, 1995. As such,  the comparison of the increases in the 1996 interim
and six month periods over the  comparable  1995 periods are,  unless  otherwise
stated, the result of the Hunter operating activities.

     Magnum  incurred an  operating  profit of $256,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 versus an  operating  loss of $427,000  during the  previous
year. This $683,000  improvement in operations can be directly attributed to the
acquisition of Hunter completed for accounting purposes as of December 31, 1995,
and improved oil and gas sale prices.

     Magnum incurred a net loss after payment of dividends on preferred stock of
$397,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to a net loss
of $653,000 for the same period of the preceding year. The loss per common share
improved to $0.03 from $0.12, partially the result of the increase in the number
of common  shares used in the per share  calculation,  as a result of the Hunter
acquisition.

     Total revenues  increased  1,313% from $322,000 during the six month period
of 1995 to  $4,550,000  during 1996.  During the six month period ended June 30,
1996, revenue from oil and gas sales increased 834% to $2,821,000 from total oil
and gas sales of $302,000  for the same period of the prior year.  For the first
six months of 1996, Magnum sold 89,838 barrels of oil and 488,154 mcf of gas. In
comparison, during the same six month period of 1995, Magnum sold 16,665 barrels
of oil and 34,541 mcf of gas. The average oil price of $15.73 per barrel in 1995
increased  to $19.31 per barrel in the 1996  period.  The  average  gas price of
$2.22 per mcf in 1996 increased from $1.44 per mcf in 1995.

     Gas gathering and  marketing  activities,  which have all resulted from the
combination with Hunter,  provided  revenues of $1,528,000 and a net profit from
these  activities  of $214,000.  Expenses  associated  with this  activity  were
$190,000 and $1,124,000,  representing  pipeline operating expenses and purchase
of natural gas from third parties, respectively.

     Revenues from oil field services and commissions  were $201,000 in the 1996
period as  compared  to $20,000 in the 1995  period.  Related  cost of  services
expense of $327,000 and $10,000 for the 1996 and 1995 period, respectively, were
recognized  resulting in a net loss in 1996 from these activities of $126,000 as
compared to a net profit in 1995 of $10,000.




                                        3

<PAGE>



     Lease  operating  expenses  amounted to  $1,126,000  in 1996 as compared to
$93,000 in the 1995 period. On an equivalent barrel basis, the expense was $6.58
per  barrel  and $4.37 per  barrel  for the  respective  1996 and 1995  periods.
Depreciation  and depletion  rose to $1,084,000 in 1996 versus  $103,000 in 1995
due to the increased oil and gas activities from the combination with Hunter.

     General and  administrative  expense  declined  $100,000 to $443,000 in the
1996 period as compared to $543,000 in 1995 due to a reduction  in  professional
and promotional expenses incurred in 1996. A gain on sale of $143,000 related to
the Company's securities previously held for resale was recognized in the second
quarter of 1996.

     Interest  expense rose to $499,000 in 1996 from $3,000 in 1995 primarily as
a result of commercial bank indebtedness  assumed in the combination with Hunter
and additional  property  acquisitions  completed in 1996.  Preferred  dividends
increased  to  $340,000  in 1996 from  $293,000  in 1995 due to the  issuance of
additional Series C preferred stock associated with the combination with Hunter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS IN 1996 AND 1995

     Magnum incurred an operating  profit of $121,000 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 versus an  operating  loss of $273,000  during the  previous
year. This $394,000  improvement in operations can be directly attributed to the
acquisition  of Hunter  completed for  accounting  purposes,  as of December 31,
1995.

     Magnum incurred a net loss,  after payment of dividends on preferred stock,
of $132,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to a net
loss of $401,000 for the same period of the preceding  year. The loss per common
share  improved to $.01 from $.07,  partially  due to the increase in the common
shares  used in the per share  calculation,  as a result of the Hunter and other
associated property acquisitions.

     Total revenues  increased 1,483% from $146,000 during the second quarter of
1995 to  $2,311,000  during the second  quarter of 1996.  During the three month
period ended June 30, 1996,  revenue  from oil and gas sales  increased  944% to
$1,441,000  from total oil and gas sales of $138,000  for the same period of the
prior year.  For the three month period of 1996,  Magnum sold 45,455  barrels of
oil and 232,406 mcf of gas. In comparison, during the same three month period of
1995,  Magnum sold 8,115  barrels of oil and 13,120 mcf of gas.  The average oil
price of $14.71  per barrel in 1995  increased  to $20.05 per barrel in the 1996
period. The average gas prices increased to $2.28 per mcf in 1996 as compared to
$1.41 per mcf in 1995.

     Gas gathering and  marketing  activities,  which have all resulted from the
combination  with  Hunter,  provided  revenues of $771,000 and a net profit from
these  activities  of $101,000.  Expenses  associated  with this  activity  were
$94,000 and $576,000  representing  pipeline  operating expenses and purchase of
natural gas from third parties, respectively.

     Revenues from oil field services and  commissions  were $99,000 in the 1996
period as  compared  to  $8,000 in the 1995  period.  Related  cost of  services
expense of $160,000 and $6,000 for the 1996 and 1995 period, respectively,  were
recognized  resulting in a net loss in 1996 from these  activities of $61,000 as
compared to a net profit in 1995 of $2,000.

     Lease  operating  expenses  amounted  to  $561,000  in 1996 as  compared to
$36,000 in the 1995 period. On an equivalent barrel basis, the expense was $6.66
per  barrel  and $3.49 per  barrel  for the  respective  1996 and 1995  periods.
Depreciation  and depletion  rose to $578,000 in 1996 versus $47,000 in 1995 due
to the increased oil and gas activities from the combination with Hunter.

     General and  administrative  expense decreased  $109,000 to $221,000 in the
1996 three month period as compared to $330,000 in the same 1995 period due to a
decrease in  professional  and  promotional  expenses in 1996. A gain on sale of
$143,000  related to the  Company's  securities  previously  held for resale was
recognized in the second quarter of 1996.

     Interest expense rose to $245,000 in 1996 from $1,000 in 1995 primarily




                                        4

as a result of commercial  bank  indebtedness  assumed in the  combination  with
Hunter  and  new  indebtedness  incurred  as a  result  of  additional  property
acquisitions. Preferred dividends increased to $168,000 in 1996 from $146,000 in
1995  due  to the  issuance  of  additional  Series  C  preferred  stock  in the
combination with Hunter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Prior to the business combination with Hunter, Magnum's anticipated capital
expenditures for 1996 on its existing properties were not considered significant
and would be financed by existing working capital.  However, due to the business
combination with Hunter, Magnum now has a budget of approximately $2 million for
exploration  and  production  activities  during 1996.  Magnum has already spent
approximately $1.2 million on exploration and production activities.  The source
of financing for such projects is a combination  of the  following:  1) existing
available cash, 2) the Company's bank line of credit,  3) third party investors,
4) seller financing through  production  payments and 5) new equity capital.  At
August  13,  1996,  there  remained  approximately  $1.3  million  of  available
borrowings  under the senior bank line of credit.  In  addition,  subsequent  to
December  31,  1995,  Magnum  entered  into  an  exclusive  arrangement  with an
investment  banking firm specialized in raising capital for energy companies for
a  private  placement  of  preferred  stock  for as  much as $15  million  to be
completed during 1996. Proceeds from the offering would be utilized to develop a
significant  portion  of  Magnum's  proved  undeveloped  reserves  predominately
comprised of development drilling and waterflood  projects.  In the event Magnum
is  unsuccessful  in raising the new capital from this preferred stock offering,
Magnum will be able to meet its  obligations  for the  remainder  of 1996 out of
cash flow from existing operations and funds available from its senior bank line
of credit.

     On June 5, 1996,  Magnum called for the redemption of 208,333 shares of its
Series C  preferred  stock at $10.50 per share,  as provided by the terms of the
certificate of designations,  plus accrued dividends with an extended redemption
date of July 10, 1996.  Terms of the  preferred  stock provide for the option by
the holder to convert the  preferred  shares  into  common  stock at the rate of
three (3) shares of common stock for each share of Series C preferred  stock. At
June 30, 1996,  57,400 shares of the preferred  stock had converted into 172,200
shares of Magnum common stock. An additional,  3,527 shares of common stock were
issued for accrued dividends to conversion date. Subsequent to June 30, 1996, an
additional  236,992  shares of the  preferred  stock were  converted for 732,223
shares  of common  stock  including  accrued  dividends  paid in  common  stock.
Additionally,  8,224  shares of  preferred  stock were  redeemed for cash in the
amount of $86,352 after June 30, 1996.

     On July 11, 1996,  Magnum called for the redemption  the remaining  322,384
shares of its  Series C  preferred  stock.  The  redemption  price is $10.50 per
share,  plus accrued  dividends of $.141 per share from July 1, 1996 through the
extended  redemption  date of August 16, 1996, for a total  redemption  price of
$10.641 per share. The Series C preferred shares may be converted, at the option
of the holder,  at any time prior to August 16, 1996 into  common  stock.  As of
August 13, 1996, there remained 39,374 shares of Magnum Series C preferred stock
for which no response had been  received.  Should any of the remaining  Series C
preferred stock be redeemed,  Magnum will fund the redemption price in cash from
existing working capital or immediately  available funds under its existing bank
credit line.

     The  consolidated  balance  sheet  as of June  30  1996,  the  consolidated
statements  of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, and the consolidated  statements of cash flows for the three and six month
periods then ended are unaudited.  In the opinion of  management,  all necessary
adjustments (which include only normal recurring  adjustments) have been made to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash
flows for the three and six month periods.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed  financial
statements  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and  notes
thereto  included in the  December  31,  1995  annual  report on Form 10-KSB for
Magnum Petroleum,  Inc. ("Magnum").  The results of operations for the three and
six month  periods  ended June 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
operating results for the full year.

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in  consolidation.  Certain items
have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The Company has
changed the presentation  format for the  consolidated  statements of cash flows
from the direct method to the indirect method.

     During  1995,  Magnum  changed  its  accounting  method  for  oil  and  gas
activities  from the  successful  efforts  method to the full cost  method.  The
comparable  1995 amounts in the financial  statements  included herein have been
restated to comply with the full cost method.

(2) RECENT EVENTS

     During the three months and six months  ended June 30,  1996,  1,000 shares
and 20,550 shares of Series B preferred  stock were  converted to 500 shares and
10,275 shares of common stock, respectively.

     On June 26, 1996, Magnum received a commitment from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
as Agent, and Banque Paribas, as Co-agent, (hereinafter collectively referred to
as  "Banks")  for a new credit  facility  for the  benefit of Magnum and several
wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  The  purpose  of the new  line of  credit  is to 1)
refinance the Company's  existing  indebtedness  with First  Interstate  Bank of
Texas,  N.A. (a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank,  N.A.), 2) finance
the  acquisition  of oil and gas reserves  including  the $35.4  million  Panoma
Property acquisition as discussed below from Meridian Oil Inc.  ("Meridian"),  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Burlington  Resources,  Inc.,  3) future  property
development,  and 4) working capital support and general corporate purposes. The
credit facility is subject to a "Borrowing Base" determination  established from
time-to-time  by the  Banks  based  upon  proven  oil and gas  reserves  and gas
gathering assets owned by Magnum and its  subsidiaries.  The availability  under
the  Company's  existing  credit  facility  was $16  million  and  has now  been
increased to $48 million based upon the acquisition of the Panoma  properties as
discussed  below.  The new credit  facility gives the Company the flexibility to
choose a range of either "LIBOR" or "Prime" based interest rates options.

     On June 28,  1996,  Magnum  closed on the purchase of 469 natural gas wells
and  approximately  427 miles of a gas gathering  pipeline system from Meridian.

adjustments  was  approximately  $35,350,000,  funded  by a loan  from  Magnum's
principal  lending  financial  institutions.  As the purchase was not  completed
until the end of the second  quarter of 1996,  the  Statements of Operations for
the  1996  periods  do not  include  any  operating  results  for the  purchased
properties.  The purchase  price was  allocated  based on estimated  fair market
values  resulting in the recording of  $29,560,000 as oil and gas properties and
$5,790,000 as pipelines.  The gas wells and gas gathering  system are located in
the Panhandle of Texas and Western Oklahoma and are more commonly referred to as
the "Panoma Properties."

     On June 5, 1996,  Magnum called for the redemption of 208,333 shares of its
Series C  preferred  stock at $10.50 per share,  as provided by the terms of the
certificate of designations , plus accrued dividends with an extended redemption
date of July 10, 1996.  Terms of the  preferred  stock provide for the option by
the holder to convert the  preferred  shares  into  common  stock at the rate of
three (3) shares of common stock for each share of Series C preferred  stock. At
June 30, 1996,  57,400 shares of the preferred  stock had converted into 172,200
shares of Magnum common stock. An additional,  3,527 shares of common stock were
issued for accrued dividends to conversion date. Subsequent to June 30, 1996, an
additional  236,992  shares of the  preferred  stock were  converted for 732,223
shares  of common  stock,  including  accrued  dividends  paid in common  stock.
Additionally,  8,224 shares of preferred  stock were  redeemed for $86,352 after
June 30, 1996.

     On July 11, 1996,  Magnum called for the redemption  the remaining  322,384
shares of its  Series C  preferred  stock.  The  redemption  price is $10.50 per
share,  plus accrued  dividends of $.141 per share from July 1, 1996 through the
extended  redemption  date of August 16, 1996, for a total  redemption  price of
$10.641 per share. The Series C preferred shares may be converted, at the option
of the holder,  at any time prior to August 16, 1996 into  common  stock.  As of
August 13, 1996, there remained 39,374 shares of Magnum Series C preferred stock
for which no response had been received.
