REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
NPC Energy Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of NPC Energy Corp. as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, changes
in equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of NPC Energy Corp. as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NPC Energy Corp.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1995 and 1994


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

     1.     Formation and nature of business

     On August 5, 1994, NPC Energy Corp. was incorporated in the State of 
Oklahoma. for purposes of exchanging its stock for all the assets and 
liabilities of ten limited partnerships and certain oil and gas assets and 
liabilities of Bison Energy Corp.  The ten partnerships were formed pursuant 
to the Limited Partnership Acts of the States of Minnesota and Kansas to 
engage in all phases of the oil and gas industry, primarily in the south 
central region of the United States.

     Effective August 1, 1994, the Company exchanged 800,000 shares of its 
common stock for the transferred assets and liabilities.  This transaction was
accounted for similar to a pooling of interests due to common ownership 
between the partnerships and the other oil and gas assets and liabilities of 
Bison Energy Corp.  The statement of operations for 1994 includes the combined
operations of the ten partnerships and the direct revenues, direct operating 
expenses and interest expense associated with liabilities assumed of certain 
oil and gas assets and liabilities of Bison Energy Corp. for the period from 
January 1, 1994 through July 31, 1994.  No allocation of general and 
administrative expenses was made by Bison Energy Corp.

     Oil and gas sales comprise the majority of the Company's operating 
revenues which could be adversely affected by a decrease in the price received
for a barrel of oil or a MCF of natural gas.  In addition, the availability of
a ready market for the Company's oil and gas depends on numerous factors 
beyond its control, including the demand for and the supply of oil and gas, 
the proximity of the Company's natural gas reserves to pipelines, the capacity
of such pipelines, fluctuations in production and seasonal demand, the effects
of inclement weather and governmental regulation.  New gas wells may be 
shut-in for the lack of a market until a gas pipeline or gathering system with
available capacity is extended into the area.  New oil wells may have 
production curtailed until production facilities and delivery arrangements are
acquired or develop.  Finally, the Company's properties may be susceptible to 
hydrocarbon drainage from production by other operators on adjacent 
properties.

     2.     Oil and gas properties

     The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its 
oil and gas activities.  In accordance with this method, the acquisition costs
of undeveloped leaseholds are capitalized.  Exploration costs, including delay
rentals, are expensed.  Development costs related to drilling and equipping 
development wells are capitalized.  Costs of drilling and equipping 
exploratory oil and gas wells are capitalized pending determination of 
quantities of proved reserves.  If proved reserves are not found, such costs 
are charged to expense.  Costs of surrendered, expired and abandoned leases 
are charged to expense.

     Depreciation and depletion of proved properties is computed on individual
properties by the unit-of-production method based on periodic estimates of oil
and gas reserves as determined by the Company's independent petroleum reserve
engineer.

     The Company charges maintenance and repairs directly to expense while 
betterments and renewals are capitalized in the property accounts.  
Undeveloped leaseholds and proved properties are assessed annually to 
determine whether they are impaired and appropriate valuation allowances are 
established when necessary.  When property is retired or otherwise disposed 
of, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation, depletion and valuation
allowances are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or
loss is recorded in operations.

     3.     Income taxes

     Prior to August 1, 1994, income taxes on earnings of the Partnerships and
certain oil and gas assets and liabilities of Bison Energy Corp. were payable 
by the partners individually and Bison Energy Corp., respectively, and, 
accordingly, are not reflected in the historical financial statements.

     The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  
The liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
determined based on the difference between the tax basis of the assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.  
Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined 
using the currently enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in 
the periods in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be 
settled or realized.

     4.     Statements of cash flows

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all 
highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be 
cash equivalents.

     5.     Earnings per share

     Earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 1995 are based
upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 800,000 for the 
year. Earnings per share for 1994 are not applicable as NPC Energy Corp. was 
not incorporated until August 5, 1994.  Pro forma earnings per share are based
on the 800,000 shares that would have been outstanding had the partners been 
shareholders during all of 1994.

     6.     Use of estimates

     In preparing the Company's financial statements, management is required 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


NOTE B - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

     A summary of oil and gas properties is as follows at December 31:

                                                   1995              1994

                                                 =========         =========

NOTE C - LITIGATION

    Several partnerships were plaintiffs in a lawsuit asserting that the 
defendants wrongfully reduced the prices paid for gas under two contracts and, 
subsequently, terminated the two contracts.  During 1994 a settlement of 
$185,663 was received by the partnerships.


NOTE D - LONG-TERM DEBT

     Long-term debt consists of a 9.5% note payable to a bank which is payable 
in monthly installments of $27,590 plus interest and is due August 31, 1998.  
The note is collateralized by certain oil and gas properties.  Maturities of 
the note payable for the years following December 31, 1995 are $331,080 in 
1996, $331,080 in 1997 and $54,009 in 1998.

     Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank 
loans with similar maturities and terms, the fair value of long-term debt is 
considered equal to the carrying amount.

     The Company also has a revolving note payable to a bank for working 
capital purposes with a maximum balance of $500,000 due August 31, 1996 
(renewed July 31, 1995).  It bears interest at .5% above prime (prime was 9.5%
at December 31, 1995) which is payable monthly, is collateralized by certain 
oil and gas properties and is guaranteed by Bison Energy Corp., the majority 
stockholder of the Company.  The revolving note did not have a balance drawn 
at December 31, 1995 or 1994.

     The above note agreements contain covenants which provide for, among 
other things, restrictions on additional indebtedness, dividends, and asset 
acquisitions and sales.


NOTE E - OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCING
                    ACTIVITIES

     Costs incurred (whether capitalized or charged to expense and all in the 
United States) in oil and gas acquisition and development activities during 
the years ended December 31 are as follows:

                                                   1995              1994
                                                 --------          --------

     Property acquisition costs                 $  18,603         $  73,091
     Development costs                            182,542           194,242


NOTE F - INCOME TAXES

     As described in Note A1, the assets of the Company were transferred from
various partnerships effective August 1, 1994.  Accordingly, a charge of 
$405,600 was recorded for the deferred tax liability related to temporary 
differences existing at the date of transfer.

     The provision for income taxes consists of the following components for 
the year ended December 31:

                                                   1995              1994

     A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the federal statutory
rate of 34% to income taxes is as follows for the years ended December 31:

                                                   1995              1994

     A pro forma adjustment for income taxes is shown on the statements of 
operations for the year ended December 31, 1994.  Income taxes on the 
operations of the partnerships are a direct responsibility of the partners 
individually.  The pro forma adjustments reflect a provision for income taxes
as though the operations were conducted by a taxpaying entity at an effective
combined federal and state rate of 38.5%.


NOTE  G  - RELATED PARTIES

     The Company shares corporate facilities, personnel and other overhead 
costs with its majority stockholder, Bison Energy Corp.  Total costs incurred 
to Bison Energy Corp. were $126,000 and $109,382 for the years ended December 
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  In addition, a substantial number of the 
Company's oil and gas properties are operated by Bison Production Company 
(Bison), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bison Energy Corp. for which Bison 
receives an overhead fee ranging from $150 to $570 per month on each well .  
Bison collects all of the oil and gas revenue and pays all of the lease 
operating expenses for all leases it operates and all nonoperated leases
ownedby the Company.  Bison then remits a net check each month to the 
Company.  No overhead fee is charged for the nonoperated leases.


NOTE H - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On October 26, 1995, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was 
amended with the following provisions:

     1.     Increase the number of common stock authorized from 100,000 shares 
to 20,000,000 shares.

     2.     Decrease the common stock par value from $.10 per share to $.01 
per share.

     3.     Authorized 1,000,000 preferred shares of stock with $.01 par value 
per share with rights and preferences to be determined by the Board of 
Directors when issued.

     4.     Each share of $.10 par value common stock previously issued and 
outstanding prior to this amendment was automatically reclassified and changed 
into sixteen fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock with $.01 par 
value.

     All share and per share data amounts have been retroactively restated to 
reflect the above changes.


NOTE I - PUBLIC FILING

     On November 13, 1995, the Company filed a Form S-4 registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in which the Company 
proposed to register the distribution of shares of common stock (see Note A1) 
to the limited partnerships which would result in the Company being a 
publicly-traded entity.  In connection with the review of the registration 
statement, the SEC raised certain questions concerning the availability of an 
exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for 
the issuance of the common stock to the limited partnerships.  The Company has
responded to the SEC's questions, but at this date the issue is unresolved.  
In December 1996, the Company executed a merger agreement pursuant to which 
the Company will merge with and into Middle Bay Oil Company and as part of the
merger, the limited partnerships will receive a cash payment for the common 
stock owned by them.  If the merger is consummated, the Company will withdraw 
its Form S-4 registration statement.


NOTE J - OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

     The following schedules present (1) the Company's estimates of its proved 
oil and gas reserves, (2) the standardized measure of discounted future net 
cash flows from the production of proved oil and gas reserves and (3) a 
summary of the change in discounted future net cash flows.  All properties are 
located in the United States.

     These estimates have been prepared based on the reports of independent 
registered petroleum engineers for each of the two years ended December 31, 
1995 and 1994. The Company emphasizes that these types of estimates are 
inherently imprecise. Estimates of reserves inevitably change over time as 
additional data become available and are taken into account.  The magnitude of
these changes can be substantial.  Moreover, the standardized measure of 
discounted future net cash flows should not be construed as the market value 
of the Company's reserves, as such an estimate should take into account the 
probability of future oil and gas recoveries in excess of proved resources, 
anticipated future prices of oil and gas and changes in the related 
development and production costs, and risks associated with future production
of proved reserves.

     Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil and natural gas which 
geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be 
recoverable in future years from known reservoirs.

     Proved developed reserves are those reserves which can be expected to be 
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating 
methods.  The estimates of proved developed reserves include reserves 
estimated to be recoverable from existing wells after the incurrence of 
completion costs.


     In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 69 ("SFAS 69"), estimates of future cash flows were based upon 
existing economic and operating conditions.  Accordingly, current prices, 
except for price escalations provided for in gas contracts, were used in 
estimating future net revenues.  Estimates of operating costs, production 
taxes and development costs were based on current costs.  SFAS 69 requires
the inclusion of a provision for estimated future income taxes computed by 
applying the current statutory tax rate to estimated future cash flows before 
income taxes, adjusted for book/tax differences in the recognition of revenues
and expenses relating to the development and production of proved reserves.

NPC ENERGY CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995 and 1996


Basis of Presentation

    In management's opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to 
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1996
and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

    The accompanying financial statements have not been audited by an  
independent accountant.  Certain information and disclosures normally included
in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been omitted, although the Company 
believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information 
presented not misleading.  These financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1995.



PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying pro forma combined condensed financial statements (the "pro
forma financial statements")assume the merger is accounted for using the 
purchase method of accounting.  The pro forma financial statements are based
on the historical financial statements of Middle Bay Oil Company, Inc. (MBOC)
and NPC Energy Corp. (NPC). 

The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996 
assumes the merger had been consummated on that date.  The Pro Forma Combined
Condensed Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 have been prepared assuming the 
merger had been consummated on January 1, 1995. 

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available financial information and 
assumptions that management of MBOC believe are reasonable.  The pro forma 
financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position or 
results of operations which would have occurred had such transactions been 
consummated on the dates indicated or MBOC's financial position or results of
operations for any future date or period.  These pro forma financial 
statements and note thereto should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements and notes thereto described above.

Note A - Pro Forma Adjustments for the Merger

     On December 18, 1996, MBOC and NPC entered into the Merger Agreement 
whereby NPC will merge into MBOC.  The merger will be accounted for using 
the purchase method of accounting.  In completing the merger, MBOC will issue 
562,000 shares of MBOC common stock and $1,226,400 in cash in exchange for 
all of the issued and outstanding NPC common stock.

     The merger will be accounted for as a purchase of NPC by MBOC and as a 
result of the purchase method of accounting, MBOC's cost of acquiring NPC will
be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on estimated fair 
values.

     MBOC has incurred approximately $35,000 in legal and accounting expenses 
related to the merger. The direct costs of the merger will be accrued and 
included as a cost of the merger. 

     The accompanying Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations 
reflect the following adjustments for the merger:

         (1)  To adjust depletion, depreciation and amortization to reflect 
MBOC's purchase price allocated to the property and equipment using the unit 
of production method utilized by MBOC.  

         (2)  To record the preferred stock dividends paid on the preferred 
stock issued for the cash portion of the purchase price.

         (3)  To adjust the provision for income taxes for the change in 
financial taxable income as a result of the entries (1) and (2).

         (4)  To reflect the issuance of 166,667 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and 562,000 shares of MBOC Common Stock.  Pro forma net income (loss) 
per common share information is computed by dividing net income (loss), 
adjusted for the preferred stock dividend requirement of $80,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 1995 and $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996 by the pro forma weighted average common and common equivalent shares 
outstanding.  Shares issuable upon exercise of options and upon the conversion
of preferred stock are included in the computations of the pro forma income 
per common and common equivalent share if the effect is dilutive.
  
     The accompanying Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of 
September 30, 1996 has been prepared as if the merger had occurred on that 
date and includes the following adjustments:


          (5)  To record the issuance of the 166,667 shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock, 562,000 shares of MBOC Common Stock and $226,400 in cash for 
an aggregate consideration of $3,193,400.  On a pro forma basis, there would 
be 1,859,144 shares of MBOC Common Stock and 166,667 shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 1996.


         (6)  To record MBOC's cost of acquiring NPC (in thousands):

  Estimated fair value of 562,000 shares
     of MBOC Common Stock issued                     $1,967
  Estimated fair value of 166,667 shares
      of MBOC Series A Preferred Stock                1,000
  Cash on hand                                          226
  Other legal and accounting expenses                    35

                                                      =====

      The fair value of the securities to be issued in connection with 
the merger has been calculated assuming the price of MBOC common stock is 
$3.50 per share.

          (7)  To adjusts the assets and liabilities under the purchase method
of accounting based on MBOC's purchase price.  MBOC's purchase price has been 
allocated to the assets and liabilities of NPC based on the preliminary 
estimates of fair values with the remaining purchase price allocated the 
proved oil and gas properties.  No goodwill has been recorded in this 
transaction.  The information presented herein may differ from the actual 
purchase price allocation.

      The preliminary allocation of the purchase price included in the pro 
forma balance sheet is summarized as follows: (in thousands)

     The following is a summary of the pro forma combined standardized 
measure of discounted net cash flows related to the proved crude oil and 
natural gas reserves of MBOC and NPC.  For these calculations estimated cash 
flows from the estimated future production of proved reserves were computed 
using crude oil and natural gas prices as of the end of each period presented. 
Future development and production costs attributable to the proved reserves 
were estimated assuming that existing conditions would continue over the 
economic lives of the individual leases and costs were not escalated for the 
future.  Estimated future income tax expenses were calculated by applying 
future statutory tax rates to the estimated future pretax net cash flows 
related to the proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, less the tax basis 
of the properties involved.

     The pro forma combined standardized measure of discounted future net 
cash flows relating to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves is summarized
as follows (in thousands):
