                         PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements

     The  consolidated  financial  statements of Magnum Hunter  Resources,  Inc.
("Magnum  Hunter"or the "Company") follow "Item 2.  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation".

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
           of Operation

     The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in conjunction  with
Magnum Hunter's consolidated  financial statements and the notes associated with
them  contained  in its Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  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
Hunter.

     On May 29, 1997, the Company placed,  through a Rule 144A private placement
offering,  $140 million in Senior  Notes due 2007.  The Notes have a 10% coupon,
with interest  payable on June 1 and December 1, which  commenced on December 1,
1997. Except for Bluebird Energy,  Inc.  ("Bluebird"),  the Company's 100% owned
subsidiary  formed in December  1998,  there is no restriction on the ability of
any consolidated or  unconsolidated  subsidiary to transfer funds to the Company
in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.

     On January 28, 1998, the Company  commenced a cash purchase offer for Units
of TEL Offshore Trust ("TEL").  Previous to the offer, the Company owned 161,500
Units representing 3.4% of the Units outstanding.  As amended,  the offer was to
purchase  between  forty  percent  (40%) and sixty  percent (60%) of the Trust's
outstanding  Units at $5.50 per Unit. On March 27, 1998,  the Company  purchased
1,745,353  Units for $10.4  million  pursuant to the tender offer and,  together
with the Units it previously owned, became the owner of approximately 40% of the
total number of Units outstanding.

     On  December  31,  1998,  the Company  through its newly  formed 100% owned
subsidiary,  Bluebird,  acquired from Spirit Energy 76 ("Spirit 76") natural gas
reserves and associated assets in producing fields located in Oklahoma and Texas
currently  producing   approximately  12  million  cubic  feet  of  natural  gas
equivalent per day. The net purchase price was  approximately  $25 million after
certain purchase price adjustments,  including  preferential rights exercised by
third parties and other customary adjustments.  As part of the capitalization of
Bluebird,  the  Company  contributed  1,840,271  units  of TEL  Offshore  Trust.
Bluebird,  as an  "unrestricted  subsidiary"  as defined  under  certain  credit
agreements,  is neither a guarantor of the  Company's  10% Senior Notes due 2007
nor  can  it be  included  in  determining  compliance  with  certain  financial
covenants  under the  Company's  credit  agreements.  To  finance  the Spirit 76
acquisition,  Bluebird  borrowed $26 million  under a bridge loan  facility with
several  banks.  The bridge  loan was  replaced  on June 7, 1999 with  permanent
financing from banks  providing for a revolving  credit  facility of $75 million
with an initial  borrowing base of $41.5  million,  due three years from June 7,
1999 with interest rates based upon either  "LIBOR" or "Base Rate" (Prime).  The
loan is non-recourse to the Company.  In addition to retiring the bridge loan, a
portion of the proceeds  from the  permanent  financing  was used to finance the
acquisition  of properties  from Vastar  Resources,  Inc.  ("Vastar")  discussed
below.

     On  February  3, 1999,  the  Company  sold $50  million of its  Convertible
Preferred  Stock in a private  placement.  The Preferred Stock has a liquidation
value of $50 million and is convertible into the Company's common stock at $5.25
per share.  Dividends on the preferred  stock are payable in cash at the rate of
8% per annum and are  cumulative.  The Company  used the net  proceeds  from the
transaction, approximately $46.3 million, to repay senior bank indebtedness.

     On June 8, 1999,  the Company  acquired  oil and gas  reserves  and related
assets from Vastar for a total  purchase  price of $32.5 million after  purchase
price adjustments.  The effective date of the acquisition was April 1, 1999. The
acquisition  included Vastar's interest in 476 wells, a gas processing plant and
two gas gathering systems located in the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

     The Company uses the full cost method of accounting  for its  investment in
oil and gas properties.  Under the full cost method of accounting,  all costs of
acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized
into a "full cost pool" as incurred, and 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 oil and gas reserves. To the extent that such
capitalized costs (net of accumulated depreciation,  depletion and amortization)
less deferred taxes exceed the SEC PV-10 of estimated  future net cash flow from
proved  reserves of oil and gas, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved
properties  after  income  tax  effects,   such  excess  costs  are  charged  to
operations.  Once  incurred,  a  write-down  of oil  and gas  properties  is not
reversible at a later date even if oil or gas prices increase. The Company's SEC
PV-10 property valuation at June 30, 1999 exceeded the capitalized costs at that
date.  Significant  downward  revisions of quantity estimates or declines in oil
and gas prices, which are not offset by other factors,  could possibly result in
write-down for impairment of oil and gas properties in the future.

Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods in 1999 and 1998

     The results of  operations  for the three month period ended June 30, 1999,
included  three months of  operations  for Spirit 76 and one month of operations
for Vastar,  while the corresponding  period in 1998 did not include any results
of operations from these acquisitions. Unless otherwise stated, the increases in
the 1999 interim  period over the 1998 period were  substantially  the result of
these  acquisitions  as well as the  Company's  drilling  activities  during the
remainder of 1998.

     Oil and natural gas sales were $13,367,000,  a 16% increase over 1998 sales
of $11,509,000.  The Company sold 298,000 barrels of oil, a six percent increase
over 1998 sales of 281,000  barrels,  and  4,594,000  Mcf of gas, a 31% increase
over 1998 sales of  3,496,000  Mcf.  The price  received  for oil was $14.40 per
barrel  and for  natural  gas was $1.98  per Mcf in 1999  versus an oil price of
$13.21 per barrel and a gas price of $2.08 per Mcf in 1998,  representing a nine
percent  increase in oil price and a five percent decrease in gas price. Oil and
natural gas production  lifting costs increased 20% to $3,624,000 in 1999 versus
$3,012,000  in 1998  while  production  taxes and other  costs  decreased  eight
percent to  $1,712,000  in 1999 from  $1,864,000  in 1998.  The gross  operating
margin  from oil and  natural  gas  production  was  $8,031,000  in 1999,  a 21%
increase over 1998 operating margin of $6,633,000.  On an equivalent unit basis,
the  gross  margin  was  $1.26 per Mcfe in 1999  versus  $1.18 in 1998,  a seven
percent increase. The sales price declined one percent to $2.10 per Mcfe in 1999
versus $2.12 per Mcfe in 1998 while production  lifting costs decreased to $0.57
per Mcfe in 1999 from $0.58 per Mcfe in 1998, a two percent decrease. Production
taxes and other costs,  including  overhead,  were $0.27 per Mcfe in 1999 versus
$0.36  per Mcfe in 1998,  a 25%  decrease.  Total  Mcfe  sold  increased  23% to
6,380,000 Mcfe in 1999 from 5,183,000 Mcfe in 1998.

     Gas gathering,  marketing,  and processing  revenues were $1,851,000 in the
1999 period,  a 24% increase from 1998 revenues of $1,491,000,  principally as a
result of an  increase  in  processing  throughput  and in natural  gas  liquids
prices.  Costs from these  activities  were  $1,306,000  in 1999,  a one percent
increase over 1998 costs of $1,293,000.  Gross operating  margin was $545,000 in
1999 versus  $198,000 in 1998,  a 175%  increase.  Gathering  system  throughput
decreased  six percent to 19,453 Mcf per day in 1999  compared to 20,750 Mcf per
day in 1998.  Natural gas plant processing  throughput was 16,145 Mcf per day in
1999 versus 14,813 Mcf per day in 1998, a nine percent increase. Gross operating
margin from gathering  operations was $0.17 per Mcf in 1999 versus $0.08 per Mcf
in 1998.  The gross  operating  margin from natural gas processing was $0.15 per
Mcf in 1999 versus $0.03 per Mcf in 1998.

     Revenues from oil field services and  international  sales were $141,000 in
1999 versus $261,000 in 1998.  Operating costs decreased to $65,000 in 1999 from
$141,000 in 1998. The gross operating margin was $76,000 in 1999 versus $120,000
in 1998.  Depreciation and depletion expense increased 11% to $5,467,000 in 1999
versus $4,941,000 in 1998.  General and  administrative  expense was $646,000 in
1999, a 14% decrease from $750,000 in 1998.  Operating  profit increased 102% to
$2,539,000 in 1999 from $1,260,000 in 1998. The Company booked equity in loss of
affiliate  of $66,000 in 1999  versus a $4,000  gain in 1998.  Other  income was
$125,000  in 1999 versus  $182,000 in 1998.  Interest  expense  increased  eight
percent to $4,894,000 in 1999 from $4,518,000 in 1998. The Company  provided for
no deferred  income tax benefit on the loss before tax and minority  interest of
$2,296,000  in 1999 versus a benefit of  $1,169,000  on a loss of  $3,072,000 in
1998, due to a valuation allowance on utilization of deferred tax

                                        3

benefits in 1999. The Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares of
$3,555,000,  or $0.18 per common share in 1999 versus a loss of  $2,134,000,  or
$0.10 per common share in 1998. The Company  accrued  $1,215,000 in dividends on
its preferred stock in 1999 versus $219,000 in 1998.

Results of Operations for the Six Month Periods in 1999 and 1998

     As discussed above, the Company acquired its interest in Tel in March 1998,
completed the Spirit 76  acquisition  in December 1998, and completed the Vastar
acquisition in June 1999.  Unless  otherwise  stated,  the increases in the 1999
interim period over the 1998 interim period were a result of these  acquisitions
as well as the Company's 1998 drilling program.

     Oil and natural gas sales were $24,688,000 in 1999, a 12% increase over the
1998 amount of  $22,064,000.  The  Company  sold  584,000  barrels of oil versus
544,000  barrels,  a seven  percent  increase,  and  9,146,000 Mcf of gas versus
6,757,000  Mcf, a 35% increase,  in 1999 as compared to 1998. The price received
for  oil  was  $12.70  per  barrel  and for  gas  was  $1.89  per  Mcf in  1999,
representing an eight percent  decrease in oil price and a nine percent decrease
in gas  price  compared  to 1998.  Oil and gas sales  for the 1998  period  also
included  $541,000  resulting from the settlement of gas imbalances with another
producer on several of the Company's gas wells.  Oil and natural gas  production
lifting costs  increased two percent to $6,817,000  while  production  taxes and
other costs  decreased  five percent to $3,177,000 in 1999 over 1998.  The gross
operating  margin from oil and natural gas  production  was  $14,694,000 in 1999
versus  $12,013,000 in 1998, a 22% increase.  On an equivalent  unit basis,  the
gross margin was $1.16 per Mcfe in 1999, a one percent increase. The sales price
declined 9% to $1.95 per Mcfe while  production  lifting costs  decreased 19% to
$0.54 per Mcfe in 1999.  Production  taxes and other costs  including  overhead,
were $0.25 per Mcfe in 1999, a 24% decrease from 1998.  The overall  increase in
the gross operating margin in 1999 compared to 1998 was principally due to a 26%
increase in Mcfe sold to 12,652,000 Mcfe from 10,019,000 Mcfe.

     Gas gathering,  marketing,  and processing  revenues were $3,477,000 in the
1999 period, a one percent  decrease from 1998,  principally due to lower prices
received  for natural gas and natural gas liquids.  Costs from these  activities
were  $2,582,000 in 1999, a nine percent  decrease  principally due to lower gas
prices.  Gross  operating  margin was  $895,000  in 1999,  a 39%  increase.  The
increase in gross operating  margin was due to increased  marketing  margins and
more favorable processing  economics.  Gathering system throughput decreased six
percent to 19,546 Mcf per day in 1999.  Natural gas plant processing  throughput
increased two percent to 15,618 Mcf per day in 1999. Gross operating margin from
gathering  and marketing  operations  was $0.16 per Mcf in 1999, a 62% increase.
The gross  operating  margin from  natural gas  processing  was $0.11 per Mcf in
1999, a nine percent increase.

     Revenues from oil field services and  international  sales were $299,000 in
1999 versus $454,000 in 1998. Operating costs decreased to $136,000 in 1999 from
$240,000 in 1998. The gross operating margin from these activities  decreased by
24% to $163,000 in 1999 versus the 1998 period.

     Depreciation  and depletion  expense  increased 20% to  $10,615,000 in 1999
primarily due to the increase in production as a result of acquisitions. General
and administrative expense was $1,332,000 in 1999, an 11% decrease over 1998.

     Operating profit  increased 49% to $3,805,000 in 1999 from 1998.  Equity in
loss of  affiliate  was $97,000 in 1999 versus a loss of $45,000 in 1998.  Other
income  decreased  25% to  $288,000 in 1999  versus  $383,000 in 1998.  Interest
expense  increased  28% to  $11,211,000  in  1999  due to  increased  levels  of
borrowing  under the Company's  revolving  credit lines with banks.  The Company
incurred a net loss before  income tax and minority  interest of  $7,215,000  in
1999, versus a $5,858,000 loss in 1998, principally due to lower oil and natural
gas prices,  interest expense on the acquisitions exceeding operating income and
a higher charge for depreciation and depletion.  The Company did not provide for
a deferred  income tax benefit on the 1999 period loss due to its  inability  to
predict future tax utilization of its net operations loss  carryforward.  In the
1998 period, the Company provided for a tax loss benefit of $2,209,000.

                                        4

     Minority  interest in  subsidiary  increased  to $87,000 in the 1999 period
from $13,000 in the 1998 period. The net loss for the 1999 period was $7,302,000
versus a net  loss of  $3,662,000  for the  1998  period.  The  Company  accrued
dividends of $2,049,000 on its preferred  stock in 1999 versus  $438,000 in 1998
due to the increase in  preferred  stock in the first  quarter of 1999.  The net
loss applicable to common  shareholders was $9,351,000 ($0.46 per share) in 1999
compared to a net loss of $4,100,000 ($0.19 per share) in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has three principal operating sources of cash: (i) sales of oil
and gas, (ii) revenues from gas gathering,  processing, and marketing, and (iii)
revenues from petroleum management and consulting  services.  The Company's cash
flow is highly dependent upon oil and gas prices.  Decreases in the market price
of oil and gas could result in  reductions  of both cash flow and the  borrowing
base under the Company's Credit Facility,  which would result in decreased funds
available, including funds for capital expenditures.

     In September 1998, the Company  announced a stock repurchase  program of up
to one million shares at a cost not to exceed $4 million.  At December 31, 1998,
the Company had repurchased  625,600 shares for approximately  $1.9 million.  In
February 1999, the program was revised to remove the share limitation  discussed
above.  Since December 31, 1998, the Company has purchased an additional 601,472
shares for approximately $1.7 million.

     In December 1998, the Company's 100% owned subsidiary,  Bluebird,  acquired
for approximately  $25 million,  certain natural gas reserves and related assets
from Spirit 76.  Additionally,  the Company capitalized  Bluebird with 1,840,271
units of TEL  Offshore  Trust.  To finance the Spirit 76  acquisition,  Bluebird
borrowed $26 million under a bridge loan facility with several banks. The bridge
loan was replaced on June 7, 1999 with permanent  financing from banks providing
for a revolving credit facility of $75 million with an initial borrowing base of
$41.5  million,  due three years from the date of closing  with  interest  rates
based upon either "LIBOR" or "Base Rate" (Prime).  The loan is  non-recourse  to
the Company.  In addition to retiring the bridge loan, a portion of the proceeds
from the permanent  financing was used to finance the  acquisition of properties
from Vastar discussed below.

     In December 1998, the Company  announced a letter of intent for a strategic
alliance with ONEOK Resources  Company,  to include the purchase by this company
of $50 million of the Company's  Convertible  Preferred Stock. In February 1999,
this transaction was consummated. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of
$50 million and is  convertible  into the  Company's  common  stock at $5.25 per
share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable in cash beginning August
of 1999 at the rate of 8% per annum and will be cumulative.  The net proceeds of
$46.3 million received from the sale of Preferred Stock was used to repay senior
bank indebtedness.

     On June 8, 1999,  the Company  acquired  oil and gas  reserves  and related
assets from Vastar for a total  purchase  price of $32.5 million after  purchase
price adjustments.  The effective date of the acquisition was April 1, 1999. The
acquisition  included Vastar's interest in 476 wells, a gas processing plant and
two gas gathering systems located in the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

     For the six months ended June 30,  1999,  the Company had a net decrease in
cash of $3.7 million.  The Company's operating  activities used net cash of $1.4
million,  principally from an increase in accounts  receivable and a decrease in
accounts  payable.  The  Company  used $41.2  million in  investing  activities,
principally for additions to property and equipment of $40.8 million.  Financing
activities  provided  $38.9  million  of cash,  principally  from the  aggregate
proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $46.3 million. The Company also
paid  $438,000 in cash  dividends on preferred  stock and accrued an  additional
$1,611,000  for dividends  earned through June 1999 but not payable until August
1999.

Capital Requirements

     For fiscal  1999,  the Company has budgeted  approximately  $25 million for
development and exploration activities,  including $15 million for participation
in a new drilling program in twelve separate outer  continental  shelf blocks in
the shallow  water area of the Gulf of Mexico.  Commencement  of the drilling of
the first well in this program was in May 1999. The Company is not contractually
obligated to proceed with any of its budgeted capital  expenditures.  The amount
and allocation of future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors
that are not  entirely  within the  Company's  control  or ability to  forecast,
including drilling results and changes in oil and gas prices. Due to the decline
in oil  prices  experienced  over  the  past  year,  the  Company  redirected  a
significant portion of its budgeted funds from oil projects to natural gas. As a
result,   actual  capital  expenditures  may  vary  significantly  from  current
expectations.

     On June 8, 1999, the Company purchased from Vastar oil and gas reserves and
related equipment, a gas processing plant and two gas gathering systems, located
in Texas,  Oklahoma and Arkansas for approximately  $32.5 million after purchase
price adjustments.

     On June 8, 1999, the Company's  borrowing  base under its revolving  credit
line was reduced from $65 million to $60 million as a result of the December 31,
1998 reserve engineering report.

     Based upon the  Company's  anticipated  level of  operations,  the  Company
believes that cash flow from operations together with the availability under the
Credit  Facility  (approximately  $11.5  million  as of June 30,  1999)  will be
adequate  to meet its  anticipated  requirements  for working  capital,  capital
expenditures  and scheduled  interest and dividend  payments for the foreseeable
future.

     In the normal course of business, the Company reviews opportunities for the
possible  acquisition  of oil and gas reserves and activities  related  thereto.
When  potential  acquisition   opportunities  are  deemed  consistent  with  the
Company's growth  strategy,  bids or offers in amounts and with terms acceptable
to the Company may be submitted. It is uncertain whether any such bids or offers
which may be submitted by the Company  from time to time will be  acceptable  to
the sellers. In the event of a future significant  acquisition,  the Company may
require additional financing in connection therewith.

Inflation and Changes in Prices

     During 1998,  the Company  experienced a significant  erosion in prices for
oil (28%) and for  natural  gas (10%).  Due to the  severity  of the  decline in
commodity  prices,  the  Company  experienced  a loss  due  primarily  from  the
write-down of its full cost pool in December  1998.  While oil prices  recovered
somewhat  during the second quarter of 1999,  prices for the first six months of
1999 were still significantly lower than the comparable 1998 period. The results
of operations  and cash flow of the Company have been,  and will continue to be,
affected by the volatility in oil and gas prices.  Should the Company experience
a significant  increase in oil and gas prices that is sustained over a prolonged
period, it would expect that there would also be a corresponding increase in oil
and  gas  finding  costs,  lease  acquisition  costs,  and  operating  expenses.
Periodically  the Company  enters into futures,  options,  and swap contracts to
reduce the effects of fluctuations in crude oil and gas prices. It is the policy
of the Company not to enter into any such  arrangements  which exceed 75% of the
Company's oil and gas production during the next 12 months.

     The Company  markets  oil and gas for its own  account,  which  exposes the
Company  to  the  attendant  commodities  risk.  A  substantial  portion  of the
Company's gas production is currently  sold to NGTS, LLC or end-users  either on
the spot market on a  month-to-month  basis at prevailing  spot market prices or
under  long-term  contracts  based on current  spot market  prices.  The Company
normally  sells  its  oil  under  month-to-month   contracts  to  a  variety  of
purchasers.

Market Risk Disclosures

Fixed and Variable Debt

     The  Company  has fixed rate bond debt and  variable  bank debt in its debt
portfolio. On June 30, 1999, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps in
order to shift a portion  of the fixed  rate bond debt to a  floating  rate debt
over the next three years and to  effectively  lower  interest  expense over the
next twelve months. The effect of these transactions,  which are discussed under
Interest Rate Swaps below,  will be to save  approximately  $420,000 in interest
expense over the next twelve months.  Thereafter, the economic impact depends on
whether or not variable (LIBOR) rates increase significantly.

Hedging Activity

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Hedges

     Periodically,  the Company enters into futures, options, and swap contracts
to mitigate the effects of significant fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas
prices. At June 30, 1999, the Company had the following open contracts:


           Type              Volume/Month           Duration        Avg. Price

         Collar ..........   300,000 MMBtu       Apr 00 - Oct 00 Floor -  $ 1.80
                                                                 Cap -    $ 2.25

         (1) Hedges were  modified  on July 12, 1999 by rolling  both into a new
swap of 30,000  Bbls/month  from August 1999  through  December  2000 at a fixed
price of $17.60/Bbl,  with an option granted to the  counterparty  for any month
between  August  1999  and  December  1999 in which  oil  prices  average  below
$16.50/Bbl  whereby  the  hedge  would  not be  effective  for that  period.  In
addition,  the  counterparty  was granted an option  exercisable on December 30,
1999 to cancel the swap for calendar year 2000.

         (2) The counterparty  was granted an option  exercisable on October 22,
1999 to continue the hedge for the period  November  1999 through March 2000 for
300,000  MMBtu's per month with a floor price of $2.00/MMBtu and a ceiling price
of $2.32/MMBtu.

     Net gains or losses related to derivative  transactions for the three month
periods  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998  were a loss of  $358,000  and a gain of
$517,000, respectively. For the six month periods ending June 30, 1999 and 1998,
the gains were  $1,085,000 and $1,244,000,  respectively.  At June 30, 1999, the
unrealized loss from derivative transactions was $722,330.

Interest Rate Swaps

     On June 30, 1999, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps in order
to shift a  portion  of the  fixed  rate bond debt to  floating  rate  debt,  to
capitalize on what was perceived as a market  overreaction  to pending  interest
rate  increases by the federal  reserve and to  effectively  lower interest rate
expense over the next twelve months.

                                                                                      06/01/02

</TABLE>

     The pay  variable/receive  fixed  swap has an early  termination  provision
granting the  counterparty  the right to terminate  the swap on June 1, 2000, in
exchange for a fee payment to the Company of $125,000.  As a result of these two
swaps, the Company will save  approximately  $420,000 in interest expense during
the first twelve months.  Thereafter,  the economic impact depends on whether or
not LIBOR rates increase significantly.

Year 2000 Compliance

     Year 2000 issues relate to the ability of computer programs or equipment to
accurately  calculate,  store or use dates after December 31, 1999.  These dates
can be handled or interpreted in a number of different ways, but the most common
errors are for the system to contain a two digit year which may cause the system
to interpret  the year 2000 as 1900 or 1980,  and the system will not  recognize
the  year  2000 as a leap  year.  Errors  such as these  can  result  in  system
failures,  miscalculations  and the disruption of operations,  including,  among
other things, a temporary  inability to process  transactions,  send invoices or
engage in similar  normal  business  activities.  In  response  to the Year 2000
issues,  the Company has  developed a strategic  plan divided into the following
phases:  inventory,  product  compliance  based on  vendor  representations  and
in-house testing, third party integration and development of a contingency plan.

     All of the Company's  processing  needs are handled by third party systems,
none of which  have  been  substantially  modified  and all of which  have  been
purchased  or  upgraded  within the last few  years.  Therefore,  the  Company's
initial review of its in-house  systems with regard to Year 2000 issues required
an  inventory  of its  systems and a review of the vendor  representations.  The
Company has completed this initial review of its  information  systems,  various
types of equipment and non-information  technology have also been reviewed,  and
based on vendor  representations,  are either compliant,  will be compliant with
the next forthcoming software release or are systems that are not date specific.

     The Company's non-information  technology consists primarily of various oil
and gas exploration and production equipment. The initial review has established
that the primary  non-information  technology  systems  functions are either not
date sensitive or are Year 2000 compliant based on vendor  representations,  and
are  therefore  predicted to operate in  customary  manners when faced with Year
2000 issues.  However, the Company has determined that in the event such systems
are unable to address the Year 2000, employees can manually perform most, if not
all, functions.

<PAGE>

     In  anticipation  of Year 2000 issues,  the Company is also  evaluating the
Year 2000 readiness status of its third party service suppliers.  In addition to
reviewing Year 2000 readiness  statements  issued by the third parties  handling
the Company's  processing needs, to date the Company has received and is relying
upon, Year 2000 readiness reports  periodically issued by its financial services
and electrical  service  providers,  vendors and purchasers of the Company's oil
and  natural  gas  products.  The  Company  is  continuing  to review  Year 2000
readiness of third party service  suppliers and based on their  representations,
does not currently foresee material  disruptions in the Company's  business as a
result of Year 2000 issues.  Unanticipated prolonged losses of certain services,
such as  electrical  power,  could  cause  material  disruptions  for  which  no
economically feasible contingency plan has been developed.

     The  Company  has  completed  in-house  testing  of the  core  systems  and
non-information  technology.  The vast majority of all systems tested adequately
address possible Year 2000 scenarios.  The Company has developed plans to remedy
the systems which do not  adequately  address the Year 2000 issues.  All systems
are expected to be fully Year 2000  compliant by the end of the third quarter of
1999.

     Although  the  effects  of  Year  2000  issues  cannot  be  predicted  with
certainty,  the Company  believes  that the  potential  impact,  if any, of such
events will, at most, require employees to manually complete otherwise automated
tasks or  calculations,  other than those which  might  occur in a "worst  case"
scenario as described below, which the Company does not anticipate will occur.

     After  considering  Year 2000 effects on in-house  operations,  the company
expects a minimal  level of  additional  training  would be  required to perform
these tasks on a manual basis due to the level of  experience  of its  personnel
and the routine nature of the tasks being performed. If, based on the results of
its in-house testing,  the Company should determine that certain systems are not
Year 2000  compliant  and it  appears  as though  the system is not likely to be
compliant  within a  reasonable  time  period,  the Company will either elect to
perform  the task  manually or will  attempt to purchase a different  system for
that  particular task and convert before December 31, 1999. The Company does not
believe  that  either  option  would  impact the  Company's  ability to continue
exploration  drilling,  production or sales  activities,  although the tasks may
require  additional  time and  personnel to complete  the same  functions or may
require  incremental  time and  personnel  during 1999 for a conversion to a new
system.

     The Company's core business consists primarily of oil and gas acquisitions,
development  and exploration  activities.  The equipment that is deemed "mission
critical" to the Company's  activities  requires  external power sources such as
electricity  supplied by third parties.  Although the Company  maintains limited
on-site  secondary  power  sources such as  generators,  it is not  economically
feasible to maintain  secondary  power  supplies for any major  component of its
"mission critical" equipment.  Therefore,  the most reasonable likely worst case
Year 2000  scenario for the Company  would  involve a disruption  of third party
supplied  electrical power, which would result in a substantial  decrease in the
Company's  oil  production.  Such event could result in a business  interruption
that could  materially  affect the  Company's  operations,  liquidity or capital
resources.

     The  Company  has  initiated  the third  party  integration  phase and will
continue to have formal communications with its significant suppliers,  business
partners  and key  customers  to  determine  the extent to which the  Company is
vulnerable  to either the third parties or its own failure to correct their Year
2000 issues.  The Company has been communicating with such third parties to keep
them informed of the Company's  internal  assessment of its Year 2000 review and
plans.  This  portion of the  review and  discussions  with third  parties  have
provided certain favorable  representations  as to their Year 2000 readiness and
received  similar  representations  from the Company.  There can be no guarantee
that the  systems of the other  companies  on which the  Company  relies will be
timely  converted or that the conversion  will be compatible  with the Company's
systems. However, after reviewing and estimating the effects of such events, the
Company's contingency plan involves identifying and arranging for other vendors,
purchasers and third party  contractors to provide such services,  if necessary,
in order to maintain its normal operations.

     The Company has, and will  continue to,  utilize both internal and external
resources to complete  tasks and perform  testing  necessary to address the Year
2000 issue.  The Company has not incurred,  and does not anticipate that it will
incur, any significant  costs relating to the assessment and remediation of Year
2000 issues.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 133,  Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which established a new model for accounting
for  derivatives and hedging  activities.  SFAS No. 133, which will be effective
for the Company's fiscal year 2001,  requires that all derivatives be recognized
in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.
The  Statement  also requires that changes in fair value be reported in earnings
unless  specific  hedge  accounting  criteria  are met. The Company is currently
evaluating  the effect of the  adoption  of the  Statement  on its  consolidated
financial position and results of operations.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATION

     The  consolidated  balance  sheet as of June  30,  1999,  the  consolidated
statements of operations and  comprehensive  income for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the consolidated statement of stockholder's equity
for the period ended June 30, 1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 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,  changes in  stockholder's  equity 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, 1998 annual  report on Form 10-K for the
Company.  The results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods ended
June 30, 1999, 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 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 is a holding  company with no significant  assets or operations
other than its investments in its subsidiaries. The wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the  Company,  except  for  Bluebird  Energy,  Inc.  ("Bluebird"),   are  direct
Guarantors of the Company's 10% Senior Notes and have fully and  unconditionally
guaranteed the Notes on a joint and several basis.  The Guarantors  comprise all
of the direct and indirect  subsidiaries of the Company (other than Bluebird and
inconsequential  subsidiaries),  and  the  Company  has not  presented  separate
financial  statements and other  disclosures  concerning each Guarantor  because
management  has determined  that such  information is not material to investors.
Except for Bluebird,  there is no restriction on the ability of  consolidated or
unconsolidated subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash
dividends, loans, or advances.

NOTE 2 - RECENT EVENTS

     On  February  3, 1999,  the  Company  sold $50  million of its  Convertible
Preferred  Stock in a private  placement.  The Preferred Stock has a liquidation
value of $50 million and is convertible into the Company's common stock at $5.25
per share.  Dividends on the preferred  stock are payable in cash at the rate of
8% per annum and are  cumulative.  The Company  used the net  proceeds  from the
transaction, approximately $46.3 million, to repay senior bank debt.

     On February 17, 1999, the Company  revised its previously  announced  stock
repurchase  program  to  spend  up to $4  million  without  a share  limitation.
Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company  repurchased  601,472 shares of its
common stock for approximately $1.7 million.

     On June  8,  1999,  Bluebird  entered  into a $75  million  Senior  Secured
Revolving  Credit Facility with certain banks.  The revolving line of credit has
an initial  borrowing base of $41.5 million and is  non-recourse  to the Company
and its other  subsidiaries.  The new facility refinanced a bridge loan facility
used to acquire properties in December 1998.

     On June 9, 1999,  the Company  executed an agreement  with an April 1, 1999
effective  date to purchase oil and gas reserves  and related  equipment,  a gas
processing plant and two gas gathering systems,  located in Texas,  Oklahoma and
Arkansas for approximately $32.5 million after purchase price adjustments.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                                  June 30, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

     On July 16, 1999, the Company issued a total of 10,512,150  warrants on the
basis of one warrant for every three common  shares owned,  .63492  warrants for
every  share of 1996  Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  owned and  63.492
warrants for every share of 1999 Series A 8% Convertible  Preferred Stock owned.
The warrants have an exercise price of $6.50 per share,  expire on June 30, 2002
and are  redeemable  by the Company at any time at $.01 per share.  The warrants
are publicly traded.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENT DATA

     The Company has three reportable  segments.  The Exploration and Production
segment is engaged in exploratory drilling and acquisition, production, and sale
of crude oil,  condensate,  and natural gas. The Gas  Gathering,  Marketing  and
Processing  segment is engaged in the gathering and  compression  of natural gas
from the wellhead,  the purchase and resale of natural gas which it gathers, and
the processing of natural gas liquids. The Oil Field Services segment is engaged
in the managing and operation of producing oil and gas  properties  for interest
owners.

     The Company's  reportable  segments are strategic business units that offer
different  products  and  services.  They are managed  separately  because  each
business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Exploration
and Production  segment has six geographic  areas that are  aggregated.  The Gas
Gathering,  Marketing and Processing  segment includes the activities of the two
gathering systems and one natural gas liquids processing plant in two geographic
areas that are aggregated.  The Oil Field Services  segment has seven geographic
areas that are  aggregated.  The reason for  aggregating  the segments,  in each
case,  was due to the  similarity  in nature  of the  products,  the  production
processes, the type of customers, the method of distribution, and the regulatory
environments.

     The  accounting  policies  of the  segments  are the same as those  for the
Company as a whole. The Company  evaluates  performance  based on profit or loss
from operations  before income taxes. The accounting for intersegment  sales and
transfers is done as if the sales or transfers were to third  parties,  that is,
at current market prices.

     Segment  data for the  periods  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998  follows  (in
thousands):
