Board of Directors
Southern Mineral Corporation

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and direct
operating expenses of Stone & Webster's Oil and Gas Operations (Stone &
Webster) (see Note A), as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Stone & Webster's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 reasonable basis for
our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in the registration statement on Form 8-K of Southern Mineral
Corporation) as described in note A to the financial statements and are not
intended to be a complete presentation of the Stone & Webster revenues and
expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined revenue and direct operating expenses of
Stone & Webster's Oil and Gas Operations, described in note A, as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     REVENUE AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
                           DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

  The accompanying combined statements of revenue and direct operating expenses
  present the ownership interest of Southern Mineral Corporation (Company) in
  the revenue and direct operating expenses of certain oil and gas property
  interests (Properties) and pipeline interests acquired from Stone & Webster,
  Inc. The Company's acquisition included the stock of Spruce Hills Production
  Co., Inc., San Salvador Development Company and Venture Resources, Inc., and
  certain assets and liabilities of Stone & Webster Oil Company, Inc.
  (collectively Stone & Webster Oil and Gas Operations) on December 20, 1995.
  The combined statements include the revenue and direct operating expenses of
  Stone & Webster Oil and Gas Operations for the years ended December 31, 1994
  and 1993 and the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 (unaudited).
        
  The accompanying combined statements do not reflect provisions for depletion,
  depreciation and amortization, if any, which may have been recorded in the
  financial records of the previous interest owner. The combined statements also
  do not reflect certain additional expenses that may have been incurred in
  connection with the ownership of the Properties such as indebtedness and
  general and administrative expenses incurred individually by the prior
  interest owners as such costs are not comparable to those which will result
  from the future operation of the properties.
        
  The interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
  and 1994 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these interim
  financial statements include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the
  results of the interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal
  recurring nature. The interim financial statements should be read in
  conjunction with the audited financial statements for the years ended December
  31, 1994 and 1993.
        
  2.  UNAUDITED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS

  As discussed above, the accompanying combined statements of revenue and direct
  operating expenses do not include certain historical expense items which are
  not necessarily indicative or comparable to future operations due to either a
  change in the cost basis of the properties or in operational factors relating
  to the new ownership. Additionally, these statements do not include revenues
  and related expenses of natural gas marketing transactions, which ceased after
  1993.  Complete, unaudited combined historical statements of earnings are as
  follows:

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

The entities that compose Stone & Webster Oil and Gas Operations were
components of a consolidated return. Tax expense was allocated to the
individual entities as if they were filing separate returns. Combined tax
expense differs from the amount calculated by applying the statutory depletion,
the non-recognition of deferred tax assets by entities with net operating loss
and, in 1993, due to the initial adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, for which the Company does not have sufficient records to
separate the cumulative effect of this adoption from the current period tax
provision.

The estimate of proved reserves and related valuations were determined based
primarily upon the reserve report prepared by independent petroleum engineers
in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.  69 (SFAS 69) "Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing
Activities." The reserve report was prepared at December 31, 1995.  Reserves
for 1994 and 1993 were computed using these amounts, adjusted for production
and discoveries; accordingly, no revisions of prior estimates are indicated.
Stone & Webster Oil and Gas Operations had not prepared reserve reports for
1994 or 1993.

The estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually
subject to revision based on production history, results of additional
exploration and development, price changes and other factors.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows related to proved
oil and gas reserves and the changes in standardized measure of discounted
future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves were prepared in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 69. Future cash inflows were computed by
applying year-end 1995 prices to estimated future production, computed as
discussed above. Future production and development costs are computed by
estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the
proved oil and gas reserves at year-end, based on 1995 year-end costs and
assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Accordingly, no changes
in prices and production/development costs are indicated. Future net cash flows
are discounted at a rate of 10% annually to derive the standardized measure of
discounted future net cash flows. This calculation procedure does not
necessarily result in an estimate of the fair market value or the present value
of the Stone & Webster Oil and Gas Operations properties.
