ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         Esenjay Exploration, Inc. has completed the acquisition of 3DX
Technologies Inc. via the shareholder's merger of 3DX into Esenjay. The
shareholders of both companies approved the transaction at their respective
meetings on September 23, 1999 and the merger was consummated the same day.

         The terms of the merger provided for 3DX shareholders to receive, at
their election, either (i) the issuance of one share of Esenjay common stock for
3.25 shares of 3DX common stock; or (ii) the issuance of a new Esenjay
convertible preferred stock at a ratio of one share of Esenjay convertible
preferred stock for each 2.75 shares of 3DX common stock. Approximately 91% of
the 3DX common shares converted into Esenjay common stock and approximately 9%
were converted into Esenjay convertible preferred stock. As a result, Esenjay
will issue approximately 2,906,778 new shares of common stock and approximately
356,999 shares of convertible preferred stock. Esenjay will then have
approximately 18,730,049 total shares of common stock and 356,999 total shares
of preferred stock outstanding.

         The convertible preferred stock may be redeemed at Esenjay's sole
option until September 23, 2000 at $1.925 per share. If not redeemed by that
time, the preferred will automatically convert into one share of Esenjay common
stock on October 1, 2000 if the average closing price of Esenjay common stock is
greater than or equal to $1.875 during the month of September 2000. If the
Esenjay common stock averages less than $1.875 in September 2000, the preferred
holder has the right, during the month of October of 2000, to "put" the shares
to Esenjay. If put, Esenjay will then have the right to retire the convertible
preferred stock for $1.65 in cash or for common stock with the number of shares
of common stock adjusted based upon a formula set out in the merger agreement.
Under any scenario, the convertible preferred stock is scheduled to be converted
or redeemed no later than November 1, 2000.
