                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




The Board of Directors
Home-Stake Oil & Gas Company

We have audited the  accompanying  statement  of revenues  and direct  operating
expenses of certain natural gas producing  properties of Sid R. Bass, Inc. et al
(the "Bass  Properties")  for the year ended  December 31, 1997.  This financial
statement  is the  responsibility  of the  management  of  Home-Stake  Oil & Gas
Company,  the  purchaser.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on this
statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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   statement  is  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statement.  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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses referred
to above  presents  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the revenues and direct
operating  expenses of the Bass  Properties for the year ended December 31, 1997
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.


                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                                 BASS PROPERTIES
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT


Note 1 - Bass Properties

The Bass Properties consist of certain Oklahoma natural gas interests which were
acquired by Home-Stake Oil & Gas Company  ("HSOG") on March 31, 1998 from Sid R.
Bass, Inc. et al ("Bass").

Note 2 - Basis of presentation

The Statement of Revenues and Direct  Operating  Expenses of the Bass Properties
was derived from the  historical  accounting  records of Bass.  The revenues are
reflected  net of existing  royalties  and  overriding  royalties.  Revenues are
presented on the "sales  method"  when  natural gas is sold.  Under this method,
"sales"  may be more or less  than  Bass'  proportionate  share of  natural  gas
production  in a given  period,  creating  an  imbalance  position.  No asset or
liability has been recorded since the Bass Properties  imbalance position can be
recouped from remaining reserves.  Production expenses,  including gathering and
processing  charges,  are presented on an accrual basis.  The statement does not
include  depreciation,  depletion and amortization,  general and  administrative
expenses, interest expenses or income taxes.

Estimated quantities of proved natural gas reserves

The  estimated  natural gas quantity and value  information  presented  below is
based on the reserve estimates developed by employees of HSOG in connection with
their  proposed  acquisition  of  the  Bass  Properties.  Prior  period  reserve
estimates by the seller are not available.  Accordingly,  reserve  estimates for
prior periods are based solely on adjustments for production for the periods and
accordingly, no amounts are reflected for "revisions of previous estimates".

The following table sets forth the Bass Properties' estimated proved natural gas
reserves at December 31, 1997 and the related changes in such reserve  estimates
for the year then ended.


                                                                       (Mcf)

Proved  reserves are estimated  quantities of natural gas which  geological  and
engineering data indicate with reasonable  certainty to be recoverable in future
years  under  existing  economic  and  operating  conditions.  Proved  developed
reserves  are proved  reserves  which are  expected  to be  recoverable  through
existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. These estimates do
not  include  reserves  whose  estimates  or  recoverability  are less  precise,
commonly referred to as "probable" or "possible" reserves.

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows

In  accordance  with the  requirements  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 69 ("SFAS No.  69")  presented  below are  projections  of future
natural gas cash flows (sales less production taxes, operating expenses, certain
development  costs and  estimated  income taxes) and related  present  values of
proved natural gas reserves.  As required by SFAS No. 69, these  projections are
based on end of period prices and costs,  held constant for all future  periods.
Present values of the future net natural gas cash flows were calculated  using a
10% discount  factor as required.  While this  information  was  developed  with
reasonable  care and disclosed in good faith,  it is emphasized that some of the
data are necessarily imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of
the subjective  judgments involved in developing such information.  Accordingly,
this information may not represent the present  financial  condition of the Bass
Properties or their expected future results.  This  information does not include
any amounts  applicable to "probable"  or "possible"  reserves  which may become
proved in the future.

    Supplementary Information on Natural Gas Producing Activities (unaudited)

Although these  disclosures  have been prepared in accordance  with SFAS No. 69,
this  information  does not purport to present the fair market value of the Bass
Properties or a fair estimate of the present value of future cash flows expected
to be obtained from their  production.  The reserve  estimates,  while carefully
made,  may be  significantly  revised  based  on  future  events.  In  addition,
estimates  of the timing of  production,  actual  prices  realized  and  related
production costs and taxes may also vary  significantly from those used in these
calculations.

                          Home-Stake Oil & Gas Company


The  accompanying  unaudited pro forma combined  financial  statements have been
prepared to  illustrate  the  effects of the  acquisition  of certain  producing
natural gas properties from Sid R. Bass, Inc. et al (the "Bass Properties").

The  unaudited  pro forma  balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 gives effect to
the  acquisition  as if it had occurred on that date.  The  unaudited  pro forma
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 gives effect to the
acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997.

The  historical  balances  included  in these  pro  forma  financial  statements
represent the amounts included in the audited financial statements of Home-Stake
Oil &  Gas  Company  ("HSOG"  or  the  "Company").  These  pro  forma  financial
statements  are based on  information  available at the current time and reflect
adjustments  and  assumptions   deemed  by  management  of  the  Company  to  be
appropriate.  These  pro  forma  financial  statements  are not  intended  to be
indicative of the actual  results of  operations  or financial  position had the
transactions  occurred as of the date  indicated  above,  nor do they purport to
indicate  operating results or financial  positions which may be attained in the
future.  Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the
unaudited  pro  forma  statement  of  operations  due to oil and gas  production
fluctuations,  changes in product prices,  future acquisitions and divestitures,
future exploration and development activities and other factors.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the Company.

                          Home-Stake Oil & Gas Company
                Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

HSOG is an independent oil and gas producer actively engaged in the acquisition,
exploration,  development  and production of oil and gas  properties.  These pro
forma  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on the  purchase  method  of
accounting to illustrate  the effects of the  acquisition  of certain  producing
natural gas properties from Sid R. Bass, Inc. et al.

On December 31, 1997, The  Home-Stake  Royalty  Corporation  ("HSRC") was merged
with and into the Company.  This  transaction  was accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting for business combinations. The merged companies adopted the
name of HSOG,  which  was  deemed  to be the  purchased  entity  for  accounting
purposes since the former HSRC  stockholders  received  approximately 61% of the
merged  entity's  common stock.  Accordingly,  the  historical  balance sheet at
December 31, 1997, reflects the assets and liabilities of the merged entity. The
historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 reflects
the historical operations of HSRC prior to the merger.

Note 2 - Pro Forma Adjustments

     (a) Acquisition of Bass Properties financed with bank debt.

     (b) Revenues and operating expenses of the Bass Properties.

     (c)   Estimated  depreciation and depletion on the Bass Properties provided
           on  the  unit-of-production  method  based  on  estimates  of  proved
           reserves.

     (d)   Estimated  interest  that  would  have been paid if the  Company  had
           acquired  the Bass  Properties  on  January  1,  1997  with bank debt
           amortized over 60 months and interest calculated at bank prime.

     (e)   Estimated  additional income tax attributable to the pro forma income
           and expense from the Bass Properties.
