                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT





The Board of Directors
Southern Mineral Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of BEC Energy, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's
equity, and cash flows for the year 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 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 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 audit provides 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 BEC Energy, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDING MARCH 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL BUSINESS - BEC Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation, ("BEC" or the
"Company"), formally Travelers Energy, Inc., is an independent oil and gas
company headquartered in Houston, Texas. BEC is engaged in the acquisition,
exploitation, and exploration of oil and gas properties, in Escambia County,
Alabama. BEC owns interests in 14 oil and gas properties in Alabama. The
Company was formed March 24, 1995. The Company's operations substantially began
in 1996 upon the acquisition of oil and gas interests for $2,730,000.

The interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1997, are
unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial
statements include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of
the interim period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Operations prior to March 31, 1996, are not material. The interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property, Plant and Equipment - BEC uses the successful efforts method of
accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under this method of accounting, the
tangible and intangible development costs of productive wells and development
dry holes are capitalized, and dry hole costs on exploratory wells are charged
against income when the well is determined to be non-productive. Other
exploratory expenditures, including geological and geophysical costs and delay
rentals, are expensed as incurred. The cost of unevaluated leasehold
acquisitions and wells in progress are included in unproven properties pending
evaluation.

Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and gas properties are computed
separately on each individual property on the unit-of-production method based
on estimated proved reserves. Depreciation of other property and equipment is
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets of 3 to 14 years.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 121 - Effective January
1, 1996, BEC adopted SFAS No. 121. Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. This standard requires that
long-lived assets that are held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When it is determined that
an asset's estimated future net cash flows, undiscounted and before interest
charges, will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment
charge must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for the asset to its
estimated fair value. There was no effect for the adoption of SFAS 121 on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments.

The carrying value of the outstanding debt at December 31, 1996, approximates
fair value as this debt bears interest at rates which approximate current
market rates.

Income Taxes - BEC has elected to be treated as a Small Business Corporation (S
corporation) under Internal Revenue Code Section 1362. This election provides
that, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the taxable items and credits pass
directly to the stockholders. Therefore, these financial statements do not
include federal or state income taxes which would otherwise be applicable. The
tax basis of the Company's property, plant and equipment at December 31, 1996
was $2,781,910.

    DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDING MARCH 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED)

Cash and Cash Equivalents - BEC considers all currency and any liquid
investment with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

Major Customers - The Company is principally engaged in a single industry
segment, the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas reserves
in the Alabama. Sales of oil and gas to customers accounting for 10% or more of
revenues were as follows:

has a 10% rate of interest plus a contingent payment of 50% net profits
interest in the future production of hydrocarbons from or attributable to each
mortgaged oil and gas property upon repayment of the loan. No loan proceeds

Estimated Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves (Unaudited)

The following table presents estimates prepared by BEC's reserve engineers of
proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1996. Proved reserves are estimated
quantities of crude oil and natural gas which 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 proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered
through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

BEC emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that
existing estimates will change as information becomes available in the future.

The following disclosure concerning the standardized measure of future net cash
flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves have been prepared by the
Company and are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 69. The standardized measure does not purport to represent the
fair market value of BEC's proved oil and natural gas reserves. An estimate of
fair market value would also take into account, among other factors, the
recovery of reserves not classified as proved, anticipated future changes in
prices and costs and a discount factor more representative of the time value of
money and the risk inherent in reserve estimates.

Under standardized measure, future cash flows were estimated by applying
year-end prices at December 31, 1996, adjusted for fixed and determinable
escalations, to estimated future production of year-end proved reserves. The
future cash flows are reduced by estimated production costs, costs to develop
and produce the proved reserves and certain abandonment costs, all based on
year-end economic conditions. The future cash flows are not reduced for the
estimated effect of future income taxes since BEC is not a tax paying entity.
