REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Advisory Committee of the
Snyder Oil Corporation Profit Sharing and Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Snyder Oil Corporation Profit Sharing and Savings Plan ("the Plan")
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995,
and 1994. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes (Schedule I) and supplemental schedule of reportable
transactions (Schedule II) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SNYDER OIL CORPORATION PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Snyder Oil Corporation Profit Sharing and
Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing and 401(k) savings plan
adopted on January 1, 1983, for the benefit of eligible employees of Snyder Oil
Corporation ("SOCO"). In 1996, the Plan was amended to allow for more than one
employer in anticipation of an additional employer, Patina Oil and Gas
Corporation ("Patina"), adopting the Plan. Patina, a 74% owned SOCO affiliate
and the successor entity to Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation, adopted the Plan
for the benefit of its eligible employees who may elect to participate in the
Plan. Effective August 16, 1996, the Gerrity Oil and Gas Corporation 401(k) plan
assets, originally effective January 13, 1992 were merged into the Plan. The
Plan is administered by the Plan's advisory committee composed of three
employees approved by the SOCO Board of Directors. Employees become eligible to
participate in the Plan on an entry date at least four months following the
later of the date the employee first performs an hour of service or attains age
18. The entry dates for the Plan are January 1 and July 1. The Plan is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).
Prior to April 1996, Wells Fargo Institutional Trust Company served as the
Trustee of the Plan. In April 1996, Amendment No. 2 to the Plan was adopted
which, among other things, named Barclays Global Investors ("the Trustee") as
the Trustee of the Plan upon their acquisition of Wells Fargo Institutional
Trust Company.
Prior to 1996, SOCO owned stock of DelMar Petroleum, Inc. ("DelMar"). During
1996, SOCO acquired the remaining outstanding stock of DelMar. Effective October
31, 1996, the DelMar 401(k) plan assets, originally effective January 13, 1992,
were merged into the Plan.
The Plan allows participants several investment options in which to invest their
individual and employer contribution accounts which can be changed at anytime
throughout the year. Investment income is allocated to participants based upon
the ratio of their participant account balance to the total participants'
accounts in a manner defined by the Plan agreement.
Participant Contributions
Subject to certain maximum limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, a
participant may elect to contribute to the Plan up to 15% of his or her annual
pretax compensation. A participant may change the applicable percentage or
completely suspend his or her contributions at any time in
7
<PAGE>
accordance with Plan policies. The Plan also allows employees to "rollover"
contributions from another qualified plan to the Plan.
Employer Contributions
Employer contributions to the Plan are entirely discretionary and determined on
an annual basis independently by each of the employers' Board of Directors.
Employer contributions are allocated to participants of each employer
independently based upon annual compensation in a manner defined by the Plan
agreement.
Vesting
Participants are fully vested at all times in their individual contribution
accounts. Vesting in Employer contribution accounts is based on years of
service. A participant is 40% vested after two years, 80% after three years, and
100% after four or more years of service. In addition, participants also become
fully vested in their employer contribution accounts upon retirement, at or
after age 55, or upon death or total disability of the participant.
Forfeitures
The nonvested amounts in a participant's employer contribution account are
forfeited to the Plan upon termination. Such forfeitures are allocated to the
remaining participants of the respective employer based upon annual compensation
in a manner defined by the Plan agreement to the Plan.
Distributions
Distribution of the participant's entire account becomes due upon retirement, at
or after age 55, or upon death or total disability. Such account balances may be
distributed either in a lump-sum distribution or in installments, as described
in the Plan agreement. Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their
individual contribution account plus their vested interest in their employer
contribution account upon termination of employment. Participants may make
hardship withdrawals from their individual contribution account, subject to
certain restrictions. Participants may also receive loans from the Plan secured
by the participant's account for up to 50% of their vested balance. Each loan is
evidenced by a note providing for repayment over a maximum of 5 or 10 years
depending on the purpose of the loan as defined by the Plan agreement and
providing for interest at a reasonable rate.
Federal Income Taxes
The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated
May 9, 1995, confirming that the Plan, and related trust, as amended in October
1994, is exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code.
8
<PAGE>
Plan Termination
Although it has expressed no intention to do so, the employers may suspend or
discontinue contributions under the Plan and has reserved the right to terminate
the Plan subject to provisions of ERISA. In the event of full or partial
termination of the Plan, participants will become fully vested in their
individual and Employer contribution accounts and will be entitled to
distributions of their entire accounts according to the Plan document and ERISA.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of net assets available for plan benefits and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net
assets available for plan benefits during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Investments
The Plan's investments are held by bank-administered trust funds, issued by the
Trustee, and are recorded at fair market value as determined by market
quotations.
Individual investments with a fair value greater than 5% of total net assets
available for Plan benefits consisted of the following fair values:

========== ========== ===========
</TABLE>
The Asset Allocation Fund invests in a changing mix of stocks, bonds, and money
market securities. At December 31, 1996, the mix was 60% in bonds and 40% in
equity securities. From the financial information available, it is not possible
to determine the net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in each
type of investment (i.e., stocks).
In accordance with Department of Labor regulations, realized gains (losses) on
plan assets sold during the year are calculated as the excess of sales price
over the fair value of the assets at the beginning of the plan year in which the
asset is sold.
Cost of Administration
The employers have paid for the majority of the expenses related to the
administration of the Plan, but are not obligated to do so. The employers will
not require reimbursement for these expenses. Any such expenses not paid by the
employers shall be paid from the Plan assets.

Distributions to be Paid
As discussed in Note 1, participants are entitled to receive the balance of
their individual contribution account plus their vested interest in their
employer contribution account upon termination of employment. However, if their
total vested balance exceeds $3,500 as defined in the Plan agreement, they may
elect to continue to invest it through the Plan. Distributions that terminated
employees are entitled to by fund at December 31, 1996 and 1995, are as follows:

Distributions are deducted from net assets available for plan benefits when
paid. As such, no accrual is provided for distributions to be paid.
(3) EXPLANATION OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FORM 5500 AND THE
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Benefits payable in the amount of $238,347 and $163,079 included on Form 5500
for the Plan years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, differed from the
corresponding balances on the audited financial statements. The differences
occurred due to the timing of certain accruals. However, the differences are,
both individually and in the aggregate, immaterial to the financial statements
taken as a whole.
