Item 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


     On July 17, 1997 PANACO,  Inc. agreed to acquire Goldking  Companies,  Inc.
and on July 30, 1997 entered into the Restated  Merger  Agreement with The Union
Companies,  Inc.  ("Union"),  Leonard  C.  Tallerine,  Jr.  and Mark C.  Licata,
(together,  the  "Shareholders").  Prior to the merger,  Messrs.  Tallerine  and
Licata  owned all of the  capital  stock of Union.  Union was a holding  company
which  owned  directly  or  indirectly  all of the  capital  stock  of  Goldking
Companies,  Inc.,  Goldking  Oil and Gas  Corp.,  Goldking  Trinity  Bay  Corp.,
Goldking  Production  Company,  Hill Transportation Co., Inc. and Umbrella Point
Gathering,  L.L.C.  Union was merged into a newly formed  subsidiary  of PANACO,
Goldking Acquisition Corp. ("Goldking").  The transaction was closed on July 31,
1997. Goldking will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of PANACO.  Leonard
C.  Tallerine,  Jr.,  will remain as Chairman  and CEO of Goldking  and become a
Vice-President  and a  Director  of  PANACO  and  Mark  C.  Licata  will  become
Vice-President-General Counsel and a Director of PANACO.

     Goldking was founded in 1968 and began by  exploring  for oil and gas along
the  Texas and  Louisiana  Gulf  Coast.  It grew as an  independent  oil and gas
company by sponsoring limited  partnership  drilling funds during the 1970's and
early 1980's,  eventually  participating in the drilling of over 1,000 wells and
operating  over 420 wells  during  the  period of 1981 to 1986.  Goldking  began
converting the limited  partnership  interests into working interests in the mid
to late 1980's. It emphasized  contract  operating  activities,  while providing
sound  operating  results and financial  conservatism  for the working  interest
owners.  Since the  acquisition  by the  Messrs.  Tallerine  and Licata in 1991,
Goldking  returned to its  exploration  and  production  roots as an  aggressive
independent explorationist, producer and operator.

     With the acquisition PANACO obtained  estimated  additional proved reserves
of 50 Bcf  equivalent  as of July 1, 1997 from  approximately  178 wells located
throughout  the Gulf Coast,  along with another  estimated 75 Bcf  equivalent of
probable  and  possible  reserves.   The  acquisition  included  a  sizable  and
attractive portfolio of exploration  prospects developed using 3-D seismic data,
an  extensive  development  program  and a  seasoned  staff  of 17 oil  and  gas
professionals  experienced  in all  aspects  of Gulf  Coast  operations.  PANACO
acquired  two  pipelines as a part of the  transaction.  The  acquisition  gives
PANACO a prominent  position in the currently  very active Lower  Frio/Vicksburg
area  in  Trinity  Bay,  Chambers  County,   Texas  with  existing   production,
exploration  prospects  generated  using recent 3-D seismic data and significant
pipeline capacity.

     Goldking brings to PANACO a complement of reserves with  approximately  43%
of its proved  reserves in oil and an average reserve life of over twelve years.
The acquisition also increases PANACO's presence in the onshore and state waters
area of the Gulf Coast,  where Goldking has a good reputation,  name recognition
and  expertise  and  experience in  operations.  Over the last  eighteen  months
Goldking  has had a 67% success  rate on wells  drilled  with the support of 3-D
seismic. Over 88% of its reserves are operated,  giving the Company control over
its reserves.  This has allowed Goldking to increase its proved reserves by more
than five times since 1995 and  increase  total  reserves by more than six times
since 1995.

     The purchase  price for the  transaction  consisted of  $7,500,000 in cash,
$6,000,000 in notes and 3,154,930  PANACO  common  shares.  Of the cash portion,
$6,500,000  was  advanced  on  PANACO's   revolving  bank  loan.   Goldking  had
$13,000,000  in net  liabilities as of July 31, 1997. A finder's fee was paid to
First  Union  Capital  Markets  Corp.  with 84,000  PANACO  common  shares.  The
transaction  will be accounted  for as a purchase,  with the value of the PANACO
common shares recorded at $4.45 per share.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Goldking Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Goldking
Companies,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1996,  and 1995,  and the
related consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity, and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated  financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  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 consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position  of
Goldking Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


                                December 31, 1996


1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Goldking Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries, a Delaware corporation, was formed on
October 31,  1996 as a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of The Union  Companies,  Inc.
("TUCI"), and as the direct parent of Goldking Oil & Gas Corp. ("GKOG"), a Texas
corporation; Goldking Production Company ("GKPC"), a Texas corporation; and Hill
Transportation Co., Inc. ("HTC"), a Louisiana corporation.  Goldking Trinity Bay
Corp.  ("GKTB"),  a Texas corporation,  is a wholly owned subsidiary of GKOG and
Umbrella  Point  Gathering  Co.,  LLC  ("UPGC"),   a  Texas  limited   liability
corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of HTC.

GKOG was formed on June 18, 1990 initially  under the name of Union  Associates,
Inc. The company became a wholly owned  subsidiary of TUCI on May 15, 1992. GKTB
was formed on May 25, 1995 to acquire  certain oil and gas properties in Trinity
Bay, Galveston County,  Texas. GKPC was formed on January 31, 1992 as a contract
operator of oil and gas wells on the Gulf Coast and  adjoining  states.  HTC was
formed on February 24, 1978 and owns and operates a 13-mile-long gas pipeline in
Louisiana.  UPGC was formed on January 25, 1996 as a subsidiary of HTC to assist
in the buying and selling of pipelines,  and has a duration of 30 years from the
date of formation.

Goldking  Companies,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  (the  "Companies") are independent
energy companies primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development,
and production of crude oil and natural gas.

The  formation of the  Companies has been treated as a pooling of interest as of
January 1, 1995. On the formation date, Goldking Companies, Inc., exchanged with
TUCI  10,000  shares,  $0.001  par  value,  of  common  stock  for  100%  of the
outstanding common stock of GKPC, GKOG, and HTC.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Companies, and
all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Companies consider all highly liquid investments  purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Short-Term Investments

As of December  31, 1996,  short-term  investments  consisted of various  equity
securities at cost, which approximates fair market values.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Companies utilize the full-cost method to account for investments in oil and
gas  properties.  Under  this  method,  all  direct  costs  associated  with the
acquisition,  development,  and  exploration  for  oil and  gas  properties  are
capitalized. Included in capitalized costs for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995,  are internal  costs that are directly  identified  with  acquisition,
exploration,  and development activities.  Oil and gas properties, and estimated
future    development   and   abandonment   costs   are   depleted   using   the
units-of-production method based on the ratio of current production to estimated
proved oil and gas reserves, as prepared by independent  petroleum  consultants.
Costs  directly  associated  with the  acquisition  and  evaluation  of unproved
properties  are  excluded  from  the  amortization  computation,   until  it  is
determined  whether or not impairment has occurred.  As of December 31, 1996 and
1995, there were no such exclusions from the amortization computations.

Nominal  dispositions  of oil and gas  properties are recorded as adjustments to
capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustments would
alter  significantly  the  relationship  between  capitalized  costs and  proved
reserves of oil and gas.

To  the  extent  that  capitalized  costs  of oil  and  gas  properties,  net of
accumulated  depreciation,  depletion,  and  amortization,  exceed the after-tax
discounted  future net  revenues  of proved oil and gas  reserves,  such  excess
capitalized  costs would be charged to  operations.  No such  write-down in book
value was required at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Administrative Overhead Reimbursement

The  Companies,  as  operator  of  drilling  and/or  producing  properties,  was
reimbursed by the nonoperators for administration, supervision, office services,
and  warehousing  costs on an annually  adjusted  fixed rate basis per well, per
month.  These  charges are applied as a reduction of general and  administrative
expenses for purposes of the statements of operations.

Other Property

Other  property and equipment are recorded at cost and are  depreciated  over an
estimated useful life of five years, using the straight-line method.

Production Imbalances

The Companies  follow the sales method of  accounting  for natural gas revenues.
Under this method,  revenues are recognized  based on actual volumes of gas sold
to purchasers.  The volumes of gas sold, however, may differ from the volumes to
which the Companies are entitled  because joint interest owners may take more or
less than their  ownership  interest  of natural  gas  volumes.  Imbalances  are
monitored  to minimize  significant  imbalances,  and such  imbalances  were not
significant at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Revenues

The Companies  recognize crude oil and natural gas revenues from their interests
in  producing  wells,  as crude oil and  natural  gas is sold from those  wells.
Revenue from the  processing  and  gathering of natural gas is recognized in the
period the service is performed.

Income Taxes

The Companies file federal income tax returns on a consolidated basis with their
parent and other members of their  affiliated  group.  For  financial  statement
purposes, income taxes are provided as though the Companies file separate income
tax returns;  however, those companies incurring losses or credits are allocated
the tax benefit based on TUCI's ability to utilize such losses or credits.

The  Companies  account for income taxes using the asset and  liability  method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated  future tax
consequences   attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
in effect for the year in which those  temporary  differences are expected to be
recovered  or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and  liabilities  of a
change in tax rates is  recognized  in income,  in the period that  includes the
enactment date.

Use of Estimates

Management  has made a number  of  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to the
reporting of assets and liabilities,  and to the disclosure of contingent assets
and  liabilities,   to  prepare  these  consolidated   financial  statements  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

2. Income Taxes

No income tax  provision  was  recorded  for the year ended  December  31,  1996
primarily due to  recognizing  the benefits of operating loss  carryforwards  of
approximately $587,000.


Significant  components of the Company's  deferred tax assets and liabilities as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

At December 31, 1996, the Company had  $4,550,000 of net operating  losses which
will be carried forward and will expire between 2007 and 2010.

The Companies have a valuation allowance because the Companies believe that some
of the deferred tax assets may not be realizable.

3. Debt

On January 9, 1996, GKOG entered into a reserve-based $10 million revolving line
of credit  agreement  with a bank (the  "Line of  Credit"),  which is secured by
GKOG's oil and gas  properties.  This agreement  replaces an existing  revolving
line of credit.  The amount  available  to be drawn  under the Line of Credit is
determined by a borrowing-base calculation which is redetermined periodically by
the bank. The Line of Credit matures January 9, 1999 and bears interest at prime
plus 0.75% (9% at December 31,  1996).  At December 31,  1996,  the  outstanding
amount advanced on the Line of Credit was $2,656,000.

GKTB  entered  into a  loan  agreement  (the  "Loan")  in  1995  with a  lending
institution in the amount of $8,772,000  secured by GKTB's properties in Trinity
Bay.  Collateralized net book value at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $8,044,000
and $6,353,000, respectively. The Loan requires quarterly principal and interest
payments  beginning January 1, 1996 for a period of nine years with a subsequent
balloon payment.  In addition to the scheduled  principal  payments,  commencing
January 1, 1996, the Loan also requires a contingent  principal payment equal to
a percentage  of the net cash flow (as defined)  for the  immediately  preceding
quarter.  At December 31, 1996, the outstanding  Loan balance was $7,288,000 and
$5,980,000,  respectively.  The Loan also provides for an additional  payment to
the lender in the amount of $1,000,000,  which serves as a discount and is being
amortized  into  interest  expense  over  the term of the  Loan  agreement.  The
additional  amount is to be repaid quarterly  beginning January 1, 1996 based on
percentages  of the net cash flow for the  immediately  preceding  quarter.  All
payments for the additional  amount will be applied first to the interest on the
additional amount and then to the principal balance.  Interest not paid when due
will be added to the principal balance of the additional amount.  GKTB's portion
of oil and gas sales  proceeds  from the  Trinity  Bay  properties  is held in a
restricted cash account by the lending  institution for payment of principal and
interest.  Interest  rates at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 10.73% and 10.82%,
respectively.  The Loan agreement contains,  among other things,  provisions for
the  maintenance  of certain  financial  ratios  and  covenants.  GKTB  incurred
financing  costs in  connection  with  the Loan of  $172,000,  which  are  being
amortized over the term of the Loan. These financing costs (net of amortization)
are included in deferred costs.

During  1995,  GKOG  entered  into an  agreement  with  Tenneco  Ventures,  Inc.
("Tenneco"),  pursuant to which Tenneco  purchased  from GKOG a Term  Overriding
Royalty Interest in certain  properties (the "Term  Override").  The proceeds of
the Tenneco  funding were used by GKOG to finance the drilling and completion of
certain unproved  properties,  the construction of a pipeline,  and for drilling
other specified unproved  prospects.  The Term Override  terminates when Tenneco
has received  proceeds  from the Term Override  equal to the amount  advanced by
Tenneco for the purchase of the Term Override  plus an annualized  internal rate
of return.  During 1995,  the internal rate of return per the agreement was 25%.
During 1996, the agreement was  renegotiated to state an internal rate of return
of 18%  retroactively  to day one of the  agreement.  Current year balances have
been  adjusted  to reflect the change in rates.  At December  31, 1996 and 1995,
$2,633,000  and  $2,035,000,  respectively,  were  outstanding  and reflected as
long-term debt.

3. Debt (continued)

Based on third-party  reserve estimates at December 31, 1996, the future revenue
attributable  to the Term Override will not be sufficient to pay the 18% rate of
return necessary to terminate the Term Override as described above.  There is no
recourse  to  the   Companies  if  the  proceeds  from  the  Term  Override  are
insufficient to pay the 18% rate of return.  The difference between the 18% rate
of return and the amounts paid to Tenneco from the Term Override since September
1996 was $100,000 and is not reflected in the balance  sheets of the  Companies.
If future revenues are  insufficient to allow payment of the principal  balance,
reductions to the liability will be applied against the full cost pool.  Accrued
interest prior to September 1996 was added to the outstanding principal balance.

Interest  paid on  outstanding  debt  during  1996 and 1995 was  $1,244,000  and
$301,000, respectively.

Scheduled debt maturities for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

               1997                                     $     1,243,000
               1998                                           1,146,000
               1999                                           1,003,000

4. Related Party Transactions

Advances to affiliates  are incurred by the Companies in the ordinary  course of
business,  and include $693,000 and $295,000 advanced to officers of the Company
as of December  31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Such  balances  have no terms
related to settlement and do not bear interest.  The respective  parties' intent
for  settlement  has been used as a basis for  classifying  such balances in the
financial statements.

During  1996 and 1995,  $21,000  and  $2,000,  respectively,  of legal fees were
incurred by the Companies for services performed by Looper, Reed, Mark & McGraw,
Incorporated, a law firm in which the president of the Companies was associated.

5. Noncash Transactions

During  1995,  a debt  agreement  was entered  into which  requires a $1,000,000
payment in addition to the actual borrowed  amount.  The amount,  reflected as a
discount to debt, is being amortized over the anticipated life of the agreement.
During 1996 and 1995,  interest expense of $283,000 and $259,000,  respectively,
was included as principal on outstanding debt balances.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time,  the Companies are involved in litigation  relating to claims
arising out of their  operations in the normal  course of business.  At December
31, 1996 and 1995, the Companies were not engaged in any legal  proceedings that
are  expected,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  to have a material  adverse
effect on the Companies' financial statements.

Contingent Liabilities

The  Companies are involved in disputes  with several oil  companies,  acting in
their  capacities  as the  operators  of wells in which  GKOG owns an  interest.
Management  believes the  operators  have made a number of excessive  charges in
connection with operating the wells, and the Companies are on record as opposing
those charges and being  unwilling to pay them.  Pending  further  negotiations,
these amounts,  totaling $713,000 and $235,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, have been reclassified from current accounts payable to contingent
liabilities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial  instruments  which  potentially  expose the  Companies to credit risk
consist  principally  of trade  receivables  and crude oil and natural gas price
swap  agreements.   Accounts   receivable  are  generally  from  companies  with
significant  oil and  gas  marketing  activities  which  would  be  impacted  by
conditions or occurrences affecting that industry (see Note 7).

Leases

For the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995,  the  Companies  incurred  rent
expense of  approximately  $132,000 and $126,000,  respectively.  Future minimum
rental payments are as follows at December 31, 1996:

               1997                                 $    128,000
               1998                                 $     39,000
               1999                                 $     10,000
               2000                                 $     10,000
               2001                                 $      4,000
               Thereafter                           $          -

7. Financial Derivatives

The  Companies  have  only  limited   involvement   with  derivative   financial
instruments  and do not use them for trading  purposes.  They are used to manage
well-defined price risks.

During 1996 and 1995,  GKTB  entered into a crude oil price swap and oil and gas
put options  with third  parties.  These  instruments  hedge  against  potential
fluctuations in future prices for GKTB's anticipated production volumes based on
current engineering estimates. The instruments qualify as hedges; therefore, any
gain and losses will be recorded  when  related oil or gas  production  has been
delivered.  The cost of entering  into the  instruments  has been  recorded as a
deferred cost on the balance sheets and is being  amortized over the life of the
instruments.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995,  the  unamortized  deferred cost is
$459,000 and $263,000,  respectively,  which is being amortized to revenues on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the related contracts.

At December 31, 1996,  the crude oil swap  agreement was for 110,194  barrels at
$17.12 from January 1, 1997 through  December 31, 2000. Gas put options were for
an aggregate  529,425  MMBtu at $1.87 from January 1, 1997 through  December 31,
2000.  Oil put  options  were for an  aggregate  55,112  barrels at $17.62  from
January 1, 1997 through December 31, 2000.

At December 31, 1995,  the crude oil swap  agreement was for 148,000  barrels at
$17.12 from August  1995  through  December  2000.  Gas put options  were for an
aggregate 730,000 MMBtu at $1.87 from August 1995 through December 2000. Oil put
options were for an aggregate  74,000 barrels at $17.62 from August 1995 through
December 2000.

If a  mark-to-market  adjustment  were  recorded at  December  31,  1996,  these
derivative  contracts  would  result in a net loss of  $600,000.  However,  GKTB
intends to maintain these options through their maturity as long-term  hedges of
crude oil and natural gas price risk from producing activities.  Therefore,  the
losses implied by the mark-to-market calculation have not been recognized.

Oil and gas revenues were decreased by $266,000 in 1996 and increased by $12,000
in 1995 as a result of such hedging activity.

8. Determination of Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value for cash, accounts receivables,  investments, payables, and long-term
debt  approximates  carrying  value.  The fair  market  values  of  advances  to
affiliates, officers, and stockholders, and notes receivable, affiliates are not
practicable to determine.

9. Accumulated Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization

The balances relating to accumulated  depreciation,  depletion, and amortization
("DD&A") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 have changed  subsequent  to our audit
report issued April 9, 1997. Upon auditing the 1995 amount,  which was unaudited
in the April 9, 1997 report. DD&A expense for 1995 was increased  $1,121,000 and
accumulated  DD&A was increased from $8,731,000 to $9,852,000 as of December 31,
1996.  Accumulated DD&A increased from $10,976,000 to $12,097,000 as of December
31, 1996, as a result of this change.

10.   Major Customers

The Companies sell their  production  under  contracts with various  purchasers,
with certain domestic purchasers accounting for sales of 10% or more per year as
follows:

                  1996                                          25%, 18%, 16%
                  1995                                          38%

11. Subsequent Event

On July 31, 1997, Goldking was acquired by Panaco, Inc.

            Supplemental Information - Disclosures About Oil and Gas
                        Producing Activities - Unaudited


The following  supplemental  information regarding the oil and gas activities of
the Company is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements  promulgated by
the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  and Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 69, Disclosure About Oil and Gas Activities.

The following estimates of reserve quantities and related  standardized  measure
of  discounted  future net cash flow are estimates  only,  and do not purport to
reflect realizable values or fair market values of the Companies' reserves.  The
Companies  emphasize that reserve  estimates are  inherently  imprecise and that
estimates of new  discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and
gas properties.  Additionally, the prices of oil and gas have been very volatile
and downward  changes in prices can  significantly  affect  quantities  that are
economically recoverable. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available and the changes may be significant.  All of
the Companies' proved reserves are located in the United States.

Proved  reserves  are  estimated  reserves  of crude  oil and  natural  gas that
geological and engineering  data  demonstrate  with  reasonable  certainty to be
recoverable in future years from known  reservoirs  under existing  economic and
operating  conditions.  Proved  developed  reserves  are  those  expected  to be
recovered through existing wells, equipment, and operating methods.

The  standardized  measure of  discounted  future net cash flows is  computed by
applying  year-end  prices of oil and gas (with  consideration  of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves,  less estimated  future  expenditures
(based on year-end  costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves,  less estimated  future income tax expenses.  The estimated future net
cash  flows  are  then  discounted  using a rate of 10% a year  to  reflect  the
estimated timing of the future cash flows.

The Company has not filed any reserve estimates with any federal  authorities or
agencies.

                     Goldking Companies, Inc. & Subsidiaries
                     Condensed Notes to Financial Statements




In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited financial  statements
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the results of operations and changes in
stockholder's  equity and cash  flows for the  periods  ended June 30,  1997 and
1996.  Most  adjustments  made  to the  financial  statements  are of a  normal,
recurring  nature.  Although  the  Companies  believe that the  disclosures  are
adequate to make the information  presented not misleading,  certain information
and footnote disclosures,  including significant  accounting policies,  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to the rules and
regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC").  These
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the Companies'  annual
audited financial statements.

On July 30, 1997, PANACO, Inc. acquired the Goldking Companies for a combination
of cash, shareholder notes, PANACO Common Shares and the assumption of debt. The
acquisition by PANACO did not include the Goldking Companies advances receivable
from  affiliates  or a real  estate  investment,  both  owned  by  the  Goldking
Companies.  Certain  reclassification  entries have been made to the  Companies'
historical  financial  statement amounts to provide for accounting and reporting
consistency  with PANACO,  Inc. For that reason,  unaudited pro forma  financial
information may not be presented in the same format or amounts may be classified
differently than those contained in these financial statements.

<PAGE>


                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA


The following  unaudited pro forma combined  financial data are derived from the
Consolidated   Financial  Statements  of  the  Company  and  certain  historical
financial  data with  respect to various  assets and  companies  acquired by the
Company.  The  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Balance  Sheet at June  30,  1997 has been
prepared  assuming the Goldking  Acquisition  had occurred on June 30, 1997. The
Unaudited Pro Forma  Statement of Income  (Operations)  for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 has been  prepared  assuming  the  Goldking  Acquisition  had been
consummated  January 1, 1997.  The  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Combined  Statement of
Income  (Operations)  for the year ended  December  31,  1996 has been  prepared
assuming the Goldking  Acquisition,  the Amoco  Acquisition and the Bayou Sorrel
Field sale had all been  consummated on January 1, 1996.  The Amoco  Acquisition
occurred  on  October  8, 1996 and the Bayou  Sorrel  Field  sale was  effective
September 1, 1996.

The  unaudited  pro forma  combined  financial  data  reflects  the  preliminary
allocation  of the  Goldking  purchase  price  based on June 30,  1997  Goldking
financial  statement  amounts.  The  final  allocation  of the  purchase  price,
including the amounts of the increases in consolidated assets and liabilities on
the  closing  date of July 31,  1997  may  differ  with a  resulting  effect  on
depletion,  depreciation and amortization of expense. Management does not expect
these differences to be material.

The unaudited pro forma  combined  financial  data should be read in conjunction
with the notes  thereto and with the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements on the
Company and the notes  thereto.  This data is not  indicative  of the  financial
position or results of  operations  of the Company  which  would  actually  have
occurred if the transactions described above had occurred at the dates presented
or which may be obtained in the future.  In  addition,  future  results may vary
significantly  from the  results  reflected  in such  statements  due to various
factors.

          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEET
                                At June 30, 1997

The Unaudited  Condensed Pro Forma Combined  Balance Sheet presents the combined
effects of the Goldking  Acquisition,  as if it had been consummated on June 30,
1997.  It  reflects  a  preliminary  allocation  of the  purchase  price for the
Goldking  Acquisition.  The final  allocation  of the purchase  price may differ
based on the actual assets and  liabilities  acquired by the Company on July 31,
1997, however, management does not expect these differences to be material.


     (a) The Goldking  Acquisition occurred on July 31, 1997. The purchase price
included $7,500,000 in cash,  $6,000,000 in Shareholder Notes,  3,154,930 Common
Shares valued at $4.45,  and the  assumption of debt  described in notes (f) and
(g) below.  The Company also paid a finder's fee in the amount of 84,000  Common
Shares.
     (b) The Company acquired $8,000 in cash,  $2,688,000 in accounts receivable
and $847,000 in other current assets,  primarily  restricted cash and short-term
funds.

     (c) Based upon the nature of the assets acquired, the Company has allocated
$37,119,000  to proved oil and natural gas properties and $6,026,000 to unproved
oil and natural gas properties.

     (d) The Company  acquired  furniture  and fixtures with a net book value of
$892,000, which approximates market value. The Company also allocated $1,000,000
of the net purchase to  pipelines  and  equipment,  based upon the nature of the
assets acquired.

     (e) The Company  acquired other  long-term  assets,  including  capitalized
software  costs with a net book value of  $265,000,  which  approximates  market
value.

     (f) The Company's  consolidated  current liabilities and current maturities
of long-term debt increased by $6,680,000 and $1,181,000, respectively.

     (g) The Company's  consolidated  long-term debt increased with the Goldking
Acquisition,  including  Goldking's  outstanding  debt  before the merger in the
amount of $13,071,000.  The adjustment also includes  $6,000,000 in notes to the
former  shareholders of Goldking and borrowing of $7,500,000 under the Company's
Bank Facility to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.
