1.    UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The consolidated financial statements of VAALCO Energy, Inc. and
      Subsidiaries (collectively, "VAALCO" or the "Company"), included herein
      are unaudited, but include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
      accruals which the Company deems necessary for a fair presentation of its
      financial position, results of operations and changes in stockholders'
      deficit and cash flows for the interim period. Such results are not
      necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These
      financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
      statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the
      year ended December 31, 1997 and reports filed on Form 8-K.

      On April 21, 1998 VAALCO consummated the acquisition of 1818 Oil Corp. for
      10,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A. The Preferred
      Stock is convertible into 27.5 million shares of Common Stock $0.10 par
      value per share of VAALCO. As a result of the voting control 1818 Oil
      Corp.'s shareholder obtained in the transaction, the 1818 Oil Corp.
      acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and 1818 Oil
      Corp. is the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. As such, the
      financial statements presented for the periods are those of 1818 Oil
      Corp., not VAALCO the legal acquirer. However, the legal name of the
      registrant will continue to be VAALCO Energy, Inc. (See Note 2 for pro
      forma information.)

2. ACQUISITION OF 1818 Oil Corp.

      In April 1998, the Company acquired from The 1818 Fund II, L.P., a fund
      managed by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., all of the outstanding capital
      stock of 1818 Oil Corp. in exchange for 10,000 shares of Series A
      Convertible Preferred Stock. The assets of 1818 Oil Corp. at closing
      consisted of a 7.5% limited partnership interest in Hunt Overseas
      Exploration Company, L.P. ("Hunt") and $12.6 million in cash. The $12.6
      million of cash which 1818 Oil Corp. had at the time of the acquisition
      has been pledged as cash collateral to secure a letter of credit payable
      to Hunt for cash calls associated with the partnership. If Hunt does not
      call such capital contributions as provided in the partnership agreement
      of Hunt, the cash collateral will be released to the Company.

      Hunt has entered into production sharing contracts and other arrangements
      which entitle it to explore for oil and gas, both onshore and offshore, on
      34 million acres in countries including Argentina, Canada, Ethiopia,
      Ghana, Niger and Peru. The general partner of Hunt is Hunt Overseas
      Operating Company, a subsidiary of Hunt Oil Company. Hunt explores for
      high risk, large reserve accumulations, generally targeting deposits which
      pre-drilling seismic and other data indicate to have potential in excess
      of 100 MMBOE.

      Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company issued 5.2 million shares of
      Common Stock in a private placement to The 1818 Fund II, L.P. and certain
      institutional investors for net proceeds of $9.2 million. Under the
      partnership agreement of Hunt, the Company will have an obligation to
      contribute an estimated $5.1 million to fund its share of the 

                                       6
<PAGE>
      exploration costs of Hunt. In addition, if Hunt discovers oil or gas
      deposits, the Company will be required to contribute an additional $7.5
      million to fund appraisal costs.

      The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to appoint
      three directors of the Company, voting separately as a class. In addition,
      the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to vote with
      the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the
      holders of Common Stock on an "as converted basis." As a result of the
      acquisition, The 1818 Fund II, L.P. owns Common Stock and Series A
      Preferred Stock which, in the aggregate, represents approximately 65% of
      the outstanding voting power of the Company on an as converted basis
      (excluding options and warrants), and therefore has the ability to control
      the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common
      Stock, including the election of directors. In April 1998, three members
      of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. were elected to VAALCO's board of
      directors.

      The 1818 Oil  Corp.  acquisition  has been  accounted  for as a  reverse
      acquisition  and 1818 Oil Corp. is the acquiring  entity for  accounting
      purposes.  Therefore,  because  1818  Oil  Corp.  is  the  acquirer  for
      accounting purposes,  the financial statements for prior years are those
      of 1818 Oil  Corp.,  not  VAALCO the legal  acquirer.  1818 Oil  Corp.'s
      equity  as  of  March  31,  1998  and   December   31,  1997  have  been
      retroactively  changed for the  equivalent  number of shares of VAALCO's
      common stock received in the  transaction.  The  difference  between the
      par value of the  common  stock of 1818 Oil Corp.  and  VAALCO  has been
      charged to additional paid in capital.

      The following summarizes pro forma financial information assuming the
      acquisition of 1818 Oil Corp. had occurred on January 1, 1998 and 1997.

3.     CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS

      Concurrent with the acquisition with 1818 Oil Corp., the Company formed a
      joint venture with Paramount Petroleum, Inc. to conduct exploration
      activities primarily in the onshore Gulf Coast area, including Alabama,
      Mississippi and Louisiana. The agreement entitles the Company to acquire,
      at its option, 25% of any prospect generated by the joint venture, on a
      non-promoted basis taking into account the Company's interest in the joint
      venture. The joint venture agreement also provides for the sharing of any
      revenues attributable to 

                                       7

      prospects generated by the joint venture and sold to others. The Company
      has committed to expend $3.0 million to fund overhead, leases, seismic and
      other amounts in connection with the joint venture, $0.7 million of which
      has been funded as of the date of this filing. The Company has posted a
      letter of credit to secure such commitment.

      On April 30, 1998, the Company spudded the Etame No. 1 well offshore Gabon
      on the Etame Block. The Etame Block is a 3,073 square kilometer block
      containing two former Gulf Oil Company discoveries, the North and South
      Tchibala discoveries. These discoveries consist of subsalt reservoirs that
      lie in approximately 250 feet of water depth, 20 miles offshore. The well
      is located in 240 feet of water depth and will be drilled to a total depth
      of 8,100 feet. Results of the well are anticipated to be known in late May
      or June 1998. The Company has a 17.9% working interest in the well.

4.     LONG-TERM DEBT

      Pursuant to the subscription agreement entered into at the time of
      organization of 1818 Oil Corp., capital contributions from The 1818 Fund
      II, L.P. are apportioned between long term debt and paid in capital. The
      percentages set forth in the agreement are 75 percent long-term debt and
      25 percent capital contribution. Interest accrues on the long-term debt at
      a rate of 14 percent per annum. There have been no payments of interest by
      1818 Oil Corp. to The 1818 Fund II, L.P. In April, at the time of the
      acquisition of 1818 Oil Corp. by VAALCO, the long-term debt and accrued
      interest were forgiven.

5.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

      The weighted average common shares outstanding represent those of
      historical VAALCO for the applicable periods.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's results of operations are dependent upon the difference between
prices received for its oil and gas production and the costs to find and produce
such oil and gas. Oil and gas prices have been and are expected in the future to
be volatile and subject to fluctuations based on a number of factors beyond the
control of the Company. Recent events in Asia have created reduced demands for
oil products in the region, which has substantially reduced the price the
Company receives for its Philippines production relative to world oil prices,
which are also substantially below prices in 1997. Although the Company expects
the supply and demand imbalances to correct themselves over time, no assurances
can be made as to the time required for such imbalances to correct themselves.
In addition, the Company's production in the Philippines (representing
substantially all of the Company's oil production since 1994) is from mature
offshore fields with high production costs. The Company's margin on sales from
these fields (the price received for oil less the production costs for the oil)
is lower than the margin on oil production from many other areas. As a result,
the profitability of the Company's production in the Philippines is affected
more by changes in oil prices than production located in other areas.

The Company's results of operations are also affected by currency exchange
rates. As of January 1, 1998, the Company and Seaoil Corporation, the purchaser
of the Company's Philippines production, have agreed that 20% of the price of
oil paid by Seaoil to the Company will be paid in Philippine pesos at the
prevailing rate, up to 40 pesos to the dollar. A decrease in the exchange rate
of pesos to the dollar will have the effect of reducing the price received for
oil (in U.S. dollars). This reduction will be partially offset because certain
operating costs paid by the Company and Seaoil are paid in Philippine pesos.

A substantial portion of the Company's oil production is located offshore of the
Philippines. Since 1996, the Company has produced into barges which transport
the oil to market. Due to 

                                        9
<PAGE>
weather and other factors, the Company's production is generally highest during
the first and fourth quarters of the year.

The Company uses the successful efforts method to account for its investment in
oil and gas properties whereby costs of productive wells, developmental dry
holes and productive leases are capitalized and amortized using the
units-of-production method based on estimated net proved reserves. The costs of
development wells are capitalized but charged to expense if and when the well is
determined to be unsuccessful. Geological and geophysical costs and the costs of
carrying and retaining undeveloped properties are expensed as incurred.

Historically, the Company's primary source of capital resources has been from
cash flows from operations, assets sales, private sales of equity, bank
borrowings and purchase money debt. During 1994 and 1995, the Company's primary
source of cash flow was sales of production from the West Linapacan "A" Field.
In 1996 and 1997, cash flow was derived predominantly from asset sales,
including the sale of marketable securities, and the private placement of Common
Stock. The Company's primary uses of capital have been to fund acquisitions and
to fund its exploration and development operations.

The Company produces oil from the Matinloc and Nido fields in the South China
Sea, the Philippines. During the first quarter, total production from the fields
was approximately 53,000 gross barrels of oil. Substantially all of the
Company's crude oil and natural gas is sold at the well head at posted or index
prices under short-term contracts, as is customary in the industry. The Company
markets its share of crude oil under an agreement with SeaOil, a local
Philippines refiner. While the loss of this buyer might have a material effect
on the Company in the near term, management believes that the Company would be
able to obtain other customers for its crude oil.

On April 21, 1998 VAALCO consummated the acquisition of 1818 Oil Corp. for
10,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A. The Preferred Stock is
convertible into 27.5 million shares of Common Stock $0.10 par value per share
of VAALCO. The assets of 1818 Oil Corp. consisted at closing of a 7.5% limited
partnership interest in Hunt and $12.6 million in cash. As a result of the
voting control 1818 Oil Corp.'s shareholder obtained in the transaction, the
1818 Oil Corp. acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and
1818 Oil Corp. is the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. As such, the
financial statements presented for the periods are those of 1818 Oil Corp., not
VAALCO the legal acquirer. However, the legal name of the registrant will
continue to be VAALCO Energy, Inc.

Hunt has entered into production sharing contracts and other arrangements which
entitle it to explore for oil and gas, both onshore and offshore, on 34 million
acres in countries including Argentina, Canada, Ethiopia, Ghana, Niger and Peru.
The partnership agreement of Hunt obligates the Company to contribute, when
requested by Hunt, up to $5.1 million to fund Hunt's exploration program. In
addition, if Hunt discovers oil, the Company may be required to contribute an
additional $7.5 million to fund the appraisal of the discovery. The $12.6
million of cash which 1818 Oil Corp. had at the time of the acquisition has been
pledged as cash collateral to secure a letter of credit payable to Hunt for cash
calls associated with the partnership. If Hunt does not call such capital
contributions as provided in the partnership agreement of Hunt, the cash
collateral will be released to the Company.

                                       10
<PAGE>
Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company issued 5.2 million shares of Common
Stock in a private placement with The 1818 Fund II, L.P. and certain
institutional investors for proceeds of $9.2 million net of $0.6 million in fees
and expenses. These amounts will be used to fund the Company's capital
expenditure program, including investments in the Paramount joint venture and
possible future acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes.

The Company has committed to invest $3.0 million in the Paramount joint venture,
of which $0.7 million has already been funded as of the date of this filing.
There can be no assurance that the Company will realize a return on this
investment or that the Company's investment in the Paramount joint venture will
be successful.

The Company continues to seek financing to fund the development of existing
properties and to acquire additional assets. The Company will rely on the
issuance of equity and debt securities, assets sales and cash flow from
operations to provide the required capital for funding future operations. While
there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising new
financing, management believes the prospects the Company has in hand will enable
it to attract sufficient capital to fund required oil and gas activities.

During 1998, the Company anticipates that it will make capital expenditures on
oil and gas properties of approximately $8.0 million, including a contribution
of $2.3 million to the Paramount joint venture (net of $0.7 million already
funded) and for exploration activities in Brazos and Goliad counties in Texas,
but excluding potential acquisitions. The Company believes the total net
proceeds of $21.8 million received from the private placement and cash acquired
in 1818 Oil Corp. will be sufficient to fund the Company's capital budget
through 1998.

The Company does not expect the cost of converting its computer systems to year
2000 compliance will be material to its financial condition. The Company
believes it will be able to achieve year 2000 compliance by the end of 1999, and
does not currently anticipate any disruption in its operations as the result of
any failure by the Company to be in compliance. The Company is currently in the
process of determining if its' customers and suppliers are year 2000 compliant.

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not presently a party to any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 2.     CHANGES IN SECURITIES

On April 21, 1998, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series A, to the 1818 Fund II, L.P. The holders of the Preferred Stock
have the right to appoint three directors of the Company voting separately as a
class. In addition, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to vote as
a class with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of
the holders of Common Stock on an "as converted" basis." The 1818 Fund II, L.P.
owns Common Stock and Preferred Stock which in the aggregate represents
approximately 65% of the outstanding voting power of the Company on an as
converted basis (excluding options and warrants) and therefore has the ability
to control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common
Stock. The Preferred Stock has such other powers, preferences and rights as more
fully described in the Certificate of Designation for the Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series A, which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

In April 1998, the Company completed a private placement to accredited investors
of 5,183,441 shares of Common Stock for proceeds of $9.2 million net of $0.6
million of fees and expenses (including a 7 percent commission to the placement
agent). The Company also issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share to the placement agent for
services rendered in connection with the private placement.

The Company claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of such warrants and shares issued by the Company under
Section 4(2) of such Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public
offering.
