                ABRAXAS PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)
                                      
                                MARCH 31, 1996

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accounting policies followed by Abraxas Petroleum Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the "Company") are set forth in the notes to the Company's
audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the
year ended December 31, 1995 which is incorporated herein by reference. Such
policies have been continued without change. Also, refer to the notes to those
financial statements for additional details of the Company's financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows. All the material items
included in those notes have not changed except as a result of normal
transactions in the interim, or as disclosed within this report. The
consolidated financial statements have not been audited by independent
accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations. Any and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its 78% owned foreign subsidiary Grey Wolf Exploration, Ltd., ("Grey
Wolf"). Grey Wolf has consolidated its 67% owned interest in Cascade Oil and
Gas, Ltd. ("Cascade"). Minority interest represents the minority shareholders'
proportionate share of the equity and income of both Grey Wolf and Cascade.

    Grey Wolf and Cascade assets and liabilities are translated to U.S.
dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated
at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation
adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

NOTE 2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER  SHARE

    Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) (adjusted for dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, options and
warrants that are dilutive and the shares that would be issued in conjunction
with the Contingent Value Rights. Income (loss) per common and common
equivalent share assuming full dilution was determined on the assumption that
the preferred stock was converted into common stock at the beginning of the
period. Common stock equivalents are not considered in the computation of net
income per common share for periods with a loss, as their effect is
anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE

    In January 1996, the Company made a $3,000,000 investment in Grey Wolf, a
privately held Canadian Corporation, which in turn, invested these proceeds in
newly issued shares of Cascade, an Alberta-based corporation whose shares are
traded on the Alberta Stock Exchange. The Company owns 78% of the outstanding
capital stock of Grey Wolf, and, through Grey Wolf, the Company owns
approximately 52% of the outstanding capital stock of Cascade.

   
    On March 21, 1996 the Company sold all of its interests in its Portilla
and Happy Fields (Properties) to an unrelated purchaser (Purchaser or Limited
Partner). The Purchaser contributed the Properties to Portilla- 1996, L.P., a
Texas limited partnership (Partnership). A subsidiary of the Company,
Portilla-Happy Corporation (Portilla-Happy), is the general partner of the
Partnership. The aggregate net purchase price received by the Company was
$17,600,000, of which $2,000,000 was used to purchase a minority interest in
the Partnership, which will be accounted for using the equity method.

The Limited Partner acquired the 50% overriding royalty interest in the 
Portilla Field owned by the Commingled Pension Trust Fund, the trustee of 
which is Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, for approximately 
$11,900,000. The Company, through Happy-Portilla will receive approximately 8%
of the Partnership's Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, 
until the limited partner's loan (Bank Loan) in the original principal amount of
$21,750,000 has been repaid and the Limited Partner has received distributions
of Available Cash equal to 110% of its initial investment, at which time
Portilla-Happy's share of distributions will increase to 25%. The Limited
Partner's Bank Loan is nonrecourse to Portilla-Happy and is secured by the
Properties. The Partnership also received loans in the aggregate principal
amount of approximately $5,920,000 from three pension trust funds (Pension
Fund Loans) and the pension trust funds were granted an option to purchase a
74% overriding royalty interest in the Properties. The overriding royalty
interest options may be exercised by the payment from the Partnership of
$5,920,000 either in cash or in exchange for the outstanding principal amount
of the Pension Fund Loans. The overriding royalty interests will decrease to
55.25% when the pension trust funds have received the sum of $8,880,000 plus
10% of the option price per annum, compounded annually. Portilla- Happy's
distributive share of the Partnership's Available Cash will remain at 25%
until the pension trust funds' overriding royalty interests decrease to 55.25%
or, if the royalty option is not exercised, until April 30, 2004. Thereafter,
Portilla-Happy's distributive share of the Partnership's Available Cash will
increase to 43.75%. The Company continues to manage and operate the properties
after the sale. Terms of the sale dictate that no overhead will be charged to
the partnership by the Company going forward.
    


NOTE 4. LONG TERM DEBT

    In June, 1994, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with
First Union National Bank of North Carolina ("First Union"). The facility
calls for monthly interest payments at prime plus one quarter percent, or
LIBOR plus two and one half percent, a maturity date of June 1997, semi-annual
review of the borrowing base amount and requires a first lien mortgage on all
of the Company's oil and gas properties and a security interest in the
Company's receivables and general intangibles. In April of 1996 the First
Union facility was amended, decreasing the total borrowing base to $31,000,000
with a maturity date of June 1999, and adjusted the interest rate to LIBOR
plus two percent.

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

    The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition,
results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the
Company. See Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1995, which is
incorporated herein by reference.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The factors which most significantly affect the Company's results of
operations are (1) the sales prices of crude oil and natural gas, (2) the
level of total sales volumes of crude oil and natural gas, (3) the level of
and interest rates on borrowings and (4) the level and success of exploration
and development activity.

    Selected operating data. The following table sets forth certain operating
data of the Company for the periods presented.

Average Liquids Sale Price($/Bbl)                $12.75            $11.13

    Operating Revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, operating
revenue from crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid sales increased
from $3.2 million in the first quarter of 1995 to $4.5 million primarily due
to higher prices received by the Company for its crude oil and natural gas
production. Also, crude oil production increased by 27% from the first quarter
of 1995 due to continuing development drilling of the Company's West Texas
acreage and a contribution of Canadian production, resulting from the
Company's 1996 acquisition of Grey Wolf. Average sales prices were $18.78 per
Bbl of crude oil, $1.86 per Mcf of natural gas and$12.75 per Bbl of natural
gas liquids in the first three months of 1996 compared with $17.03 per Bbl of
crude oil, $1.48 per Mcf of natural gas and $11.13 per Bbl of natural gas
liquids in the same period of 1995. Of the $4.5 million of operating revenue
in the current period, $1.2 million related to the properties sold at the end
of the period. These properties contributed 117,000 MCF of natural gas (12% of
Company total), 43,600 Bbls of crude oil (37% of Company total) and 10,600
BBLs of natural gas liquids (27% of Company total) during the first quarter of
1996.

    Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 increased to $3.1 million compared to $2.5 million in 1995.
Contributing to this increase was depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense increasing from $1.2 million in 1995 to $1.5 million in 1996. Higher
production levels during the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period
of 1995 rendered higher depletion costs. General and administrative expenses
increased from $229,000 for the first quarter of 1995 to $339,000 for the same
period of 1996 as a result of hiring additional staff to manage the Company's
growing asset base, including establishing a Canadian administrative office to
manage its Canadian assets. Of the costs incurred during the first quarter of
1996, $588,000 was attributable to the Properties including depreciation,
depletion and amortization of $353,000 compared to $503,000 and $290,000,
respectively during the first quarter of 1996.

    In December 1995, the Company entered into a commodity swap agreement with
First Union Bank. Under the commodity swap agreement, the Company receives or
makes payments to First Union based on the differential between a fixed and
variable price for natural gas. At December 31, 1995, the Company had agreed
to exchange payments monthly on 5,000 MMBTU of natural gas per day beginning
in March 1996 and extending through November 1996. Under the swap agreement,
as in effect during the first quarter of 1996, the Company received fixed
prices averaging $1.747 per MMBTU and paid a variable price based on the
arithmetic average of the last three trading days' settlement price of the
first nearby contract for natural gas as quoted by the New York Merchantile
Exchange. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, there was a $55,000 negative
effect on income from continuing operations related to this swap agreement.
This agreement was amended, effective June 1, 1996, to reduce the fixed price
by $ .255 per MMBTU and the variable price to the Inside FERC, El Paso price,
eliminating any basis differential for the remainder of the agreement.

    The Company has incurred operating losses and net losses for a number of
years. The Company's revenues, profitability and future rate of growth are
substantially dependent upon prevailing prices for crude oil and natural gas
and the volumes of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids produced by
the Company. The price of natural gas received by the Company increased during
the first quarter of 1996, but there can be no assurance that operating income
and net earnings will be achieved in future periods. In addition, the
Company's proved reserves will decline as crude oil, natural gas and natural
gas liquids are produced unless the Company is successful in acquiring
properties containing proved reserves or conducts successful exploration and
development activities. In the event natural gas prices return to depressed
levels or if crude oil prices begin to decrease, or if the Company's
production levels decrease, the Company's revenues, cash flow from operations
and profitability will be materially adversely affected.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Capital expenditures including property divestitures during the first
three months of 1996 amounted to $(9.6) million compared to $2.5 million
during the same period of 1995. The table below sets forth the components of
these capital expenditures on a historical basis for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1996.

    At March 31, 1996, the Company had current assets of $9.9 million and
current liabilities of $5.7 million resulting in working capital of $4.2
million. This compares to working capital of $2.6 million at December 31, 1995
and a deficiency of $3.0 million at March 31, 1995. The material components of
the Company's current liabilities at March 31, 1996 include trade accounts
payable of $3.4 million and revenues due third parties of $1.6 million.

    The Company's current budget for capital expenditures for the last nine
months of 1996 is $10.0 million. Such expenditures will be made primarily for
the development of existing properties. Additional capital expenditures may be
made for acquisitions of producing properties as such opportunities arise. The
Company has no material long-term capital commitments and is consequently able
to adjust the level of its expenditures as circumstances dictate.
Additionally, the level of capital expenditures will vary during future
periods depending on market conditions and other related economic factors.

    The First Union Financing Agreement contains two financial covenants: (1)
the ratio of current assets to current liabilities (exclusive of any part of
the loan which is current) shall not be less than 1:1 with any unborrowed
dollars available under the Company's credit facility being computed as a
current asset; and (2) the cash flow coverage ratio shall not be greater than
5:1 with cash flow coverage ratio defined as the ratio of (i) indebtedness
plus any other funded long-term debt to (ii) annualized consolidated net
income for each quarter, plus non-cash charges, less non-cash revenues. The
First Union Financing Agreement also contains covenants relating to
maintaining corporate existence, maintaining title to all of the collateral
free and clear of all liens except for First Union's liens and those permitted
by First Union, maintaining all mineral interests in good repair, and in
compliance with all laws, maintaining insurance, paying all taxes, not paying
dividends except as required on the Series B Preferred Stock and not selling
any of the collateral securing the loans. The Company was in compliance with
these covenants at March 31, 1996. Total availability under the First Union
agreement was $31 million at March 31, with $29.5 million currently borrowed.

    Operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 1996 provided
$1.8 million cash to the Company compared to $2.5 million in the same period
in 1995. Net income plus non-cash expense items during 1996 and net changes in
operating assets and liabilities accounted for most of these funds. Investing
activities provided $11.6 million during the first three months of 1996
primarily from the divestiture of crude oil and natural gas properties. This
compares to $2.5 million required during the same period of 1995 primarily
utilized for the development of crude oil and natural gas properties.
Financing activities required $12.2 million for the first three months of 1996
compared to requiring $7,000 for the same period of 1995.

    As a result of the acquisition of certain partnership interests and crude
oil and natural gas properties in 1990 and 1991, an ownership change under
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 382),
occurred in December 1991. Accordingly, it is expected that the use of net
operating loss carryforwards generated prior to December 31, 1991 of $6.9
million will be limited to approximately $235,000 per year. During 1992, the
Company acquired 100% of the common stock of an unrelated corporation. The use
of net operating loss carryforwards of $3,607,000 acquired in the acquisition
are limited to approximately $115,000 per year. As a result of the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock for acquisitions and sales of Common Stock,
an additional ownership change under Section 382 occurred in October 1993.
Accordingly, it is expected that the use of all net operating loss
carryforwards generated through October 1993 of $13,430, 000 will be limited
to approximately $1,034,000 per year subject to the lower limitations
described above. Of the $13,430,000 net operating loss carryforwards existing
at October 1993, it is anticipated that the maximum net operating loss that
may be utilized before it expires is $7,188,000. Future changes in ownership
may further limit the use of the Company's carryforwards. In addition to
Section 382 limitations, uncertainties exist as to the future utilization of
the operating loss carryforwards under the criteria set forth under FASB
Statement No. 109. Therefore, the Company has established a valuation
allowance of $5,656,000 and $5,482,000 for deferred tax assets at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

    Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that cash
flow from operations and the Company's credit facility with First Union, will
be adequate to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, capital
expenditures and scheduled interest payments through 1996. A depressed price
for natural gas or crude oil will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's cash flow from operations and anticipated levels of working capital,
and could force the Company to revise its planned capital expenditures.
