NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to rules  and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange   Commission;   however,   the  Company  believes  the
disclosures  which are made are adequate to make the  information  presented not
misleading.  The financial  statements and footnotes  included in this Form 10-Q
should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the Company as
of March 31, 1999 and the results of its  operations  for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998.

The results of operations  for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

- ---------------------

On May 12, 1999 the Company  signed a definitive  agreement with Compass Bank to
restructure its existing credit facility.  Accordingly,  $17,500,000  previously
shown as current  maturities at December 31, 1998 is now shown in long-term debt
at March 31, 1999. The credit facility provides for a borrowing base facility of
$20,500,000  with monthly  reductions of $50,000  beginning on April 1, 1999 and
May 1,  1999,  $200,000  on June 1, 1999 and  $300,000  on July 1, 1999 and each
month  thereafter.  Semi-annual  borrowing  base  determinations  will  be  made
beginning  July 1,  1999  based  in part on the  Company's  oil and gas  reserve
information.  The maturity date for amounts drawn under the bank  Borrowing Base
facility is February 1, 2001.  Interest on such  facility is based on LIBOR plus
2%, and rates are set on specific draws for one, two, three or six month periods
at the option of the Company.

The  facility  also  establishes  a Tranche A in the amount of  $9,000,000.  The
maturity  date for the Tranche A facility  is  December  1, 1999.  The Tranche A
requires that excess cash flow from operations,  as defined in the agreement, be
applied to  outstanding  principal and interest  until the maturity  date,  with
interest based on the Compass Bank Index Rate plus 2%.

The  credit  facility  requires  the net  proceeds  of  asset  sales  be used to
extinguish  outstanding principal and interest under the borrowing base facility

                                       8

and  Tranche  A.  Additionally,  under  the  terms of the  terms  of the  credit
facility, the Company may not make any distributions or pay dividends, including
dividends on any class of its preferred stock, until Tranche A is paid in full.

Substantially  all of the  Company's  assets are  pledged to secure  this credit
facility.


NOTE C - Liquidity and Management's Plan
- ----------------------------------------

The unaudited  consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern.  The following discusses the Company's
current liquidity and management's plan.

     Liquidity  - As  disclosed  in Note B, the  Company's  current  liabilities
     ---------
include current  maturities of long term debt in the amount of $12,000,000,  and
exceed current  assets by  $18,106,000.  Additionally,  the Company is unable to
incur  additional debt under its credit facility or from any other sources until
such time as its  stockholders'  equity balance is greater than the  liquidation
preference of the Series A Preferred Stock of approximately $7.9 million.


     Management's  Plan - Due to the Company's  existing current working capital
     ------------------
deficiency, required pay downs under its credit  facility and the  restrictions
imposed by the Series A Preferred  Stock,  management  is  exploring a number of
alternatives  that  are  directed  toward  making  the  Company  profitable  and
improving its liquidity. The principal strategies include:

     1)   raising  additional capital through the issuance of equity securities;
          or a combination of equity and subordinated debt;

     2)  acquisition  of  value  enhancing  oil and gas  properties  that  offer
         additional development opportunities and increased cash flow;

     3)  mergers and/or acquisitions by other entities;

     4)  reducing operating costs;

     5)  sale of certain oil and gas properties;

     6)   renegotiation  or  amendment  of the  Company's  credit  facility  and
          capital structure

     As with any plan of this nature, its ultimate  realization will depend upon
the cooperation of creditors,  potential  investors and others. As a result, the
outcome of the plan cannot presently be determined and no adjustments related to
the  specific  considerations  of  management's  plan  have  been  made  in  the
accompanying   consolidated  financial  statements.   Should  the  plan  not  be
completed,  the Company may not be able to  liquidate  liabilities  as they come
due.

NOTE D - Commitments and Contingencies
- --------------------------------------

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has identified the Company as a
potentially  responsible  party  ("PRP") for the cost of clean-up of  "hazardous
substances" at an oil field waste disposal site in Vermilion Parish,  Louisiana.
The Company has estimated that the remaining  cost of long-term  clean-up of the
site  will be  approximately  $4.5  million  with the  Company's  percentage  of
responsibility to be approximately  3.05%. As of March 31, 1999, the Company has
paid  approximately  $321,000  in costs  related to this  matter and has $92,000
accrued for the  remaining  liability.  These costs have not been  discounted to
their present value. The EPA and the PRPs will continue to evaluate the site and
revise  estimates  for the  long-term  clean-up  of the  site.  There  can be no
assurance that the cost of clean-up and the Company's percentage  responsibility
will not be higher than  currently  estimated.  In  addition,  under the federal
environmental  laws,  the liability  costs for the clean-up of the site is joint
and several among all PRPs. Therefore,  the ultimate cost of the clean-up to the
Company could be  significantly  higher than the amount  presently  estimated or
accrued for this liability.


NOTE E - Income Taxes
- ---------------------

No provision  for income  taxes has been  recorded for the Company for the three
months  ended March 31,  1999 and 1998 due to its  incurring a net loss for each
period.

Changes in Results of Operations
- --------------------------------

    Three months ended March 31, 1999 versus three months ended March 31,1998

Total  revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $2,942,000
and were $504,000  higher than the  $2,438,000  for the three months ended March
31,  1998 due to higher oil and gas  revenues.  Oil and gas sales were  $434,000
higher due primarily to the recording of previously  suspended oil and gas sales
of approximately $350,000 on certain properties until the Company's ownership in
the properties was perfected. Additionally, oil and gas sales were higher due to
increased  volumes,  partially offset by significantly  lower oil and gas prices
for the current  period.  The Company  incurred a loss on the sale of marketable
equity securities of $519,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

The following table reflects the production volumes and pricing  information for
the periods presented.

</TABLE>

Lease operating  expense and production taxes were $667,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, versus $674,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Depletion,  depreciation  and  amortization  was $1,309,000 for the three months
ended March 31,  1999 versus  $1,127,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1998,  or $182,000  higher due to  slightly  higher  depletion  rates and higher
volumes in the first  quarter of 1999 versus  1998.  Exploration  expense in the
first quarter of 1999 was $399,000 versus $611,000 in the first quarter of 1998,
or $212,000  lower due primarily to seismic costs and prospect  depreciation  of
$34,000 and $290,000 respectively,  in the first quarter of 1999 versus $437,000
and $124,000 respectively, in the same period in 1998.

Interest  expense was $520,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared
to $386,000 in the first quarter of 1998 due to higher average debt  outstanding
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

General and  administrative  expenses  amounted to $564,000 in the three  months
ended March 31, 1999 versus $649,000 in the first quarter of 1998.

On March 23, 1999 the Company announced that it suspended payment of its regular
quarterly cash dividend on both classes of its preferred stock. This measure was
taken to conserve cash for corporate and operating purposes.  The Company has no
plans to reinstate the cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Preferred stock
dividends amount to $314,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was  $1,534,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1999  compared to $1,627,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1998. The Company's accompanying  consolidated statements of cash flows identify
major  differences  between  net  income  and net  cash  provided  by  operating
activities for each of the periods presented.

Net cash used in investing  activities  totaled $1,272,000 for the first quarter
of 1999 compared to  $3,107,000  in 1998.  The three months ended March 31, 1999
reflects capital expenditures  totaling $1,512,000 and proceeds from the sale of
marketable equity securities of $240,000.  The three months ended March 31, 1998
consists of capital expenditures of $3,107,000.

Net cash  provided by financing  activities  was $-0- for the current  period as
compared  to  $686,000  in the  prior  year  period.  The 1998  amount  includes
borrowings  of  $1,500,000 by the Company under its line of credit and pay downs
under this line of credit of $500,000.

On May 12, 1999 the Company  signed a definitive  agreement with Compass Bank to
restructure its existing credit facility.  Accordingly,  $17,500,000  previously
shown as current  maturities at December 31, 1998 is now shown in long-term debt
at March 31, 1999. The credit facility provides for a borrowing base facility of
$20,500,000  with monthly  reductions of $50,000  beginning on April 1, 1999 and
May 1,  1999,  $200,000  on June 1, 1999 and  $300,000  on July 1, 1999 and each
month  thereafter.  Semi-annual  borrowing  base  determinations  will  be  made
beginning  July 1,  1999  based  in part on the  Company's  oil and gas  reserve
information.  The maturity date for amounts drawn under the bank  Borrowing Base
facility is February 1, 2001.  Interest on such  facility is based on LIBOR plus
2%, and rates are set on specific draws for one, two, three or six month periods
at the option of the Company.

The facility also  establishes a Tranche A facility in the amount of $9,000,000.
The maturity date for the Tranche A facility is December 1, 1999.  The Tranche A
requires that excess cash flow from operations,  as defined in the agreement, be
applied to  outstanding  principal and interest  until the maturity  date,  with
interest based on the Compass Bank Index Rate plus 2%.

The  credit  facility  requires  the net  proceeds  of  asset  sales  be used to
extinguish  outstanding principal and interest under the borrowing base facility
and Tranche A. Additionally, under the terms of the credit facility, the Company
may not make any  distributions  or pay  dividends,  including  dividends on any
class of its preferred stock, until Tranche A is paid in full.


                                       12
<PAGE>

The terms of the  Company's  Series A Preferred  Stock  provide that the Company
will not incur  additional  debt until  after such time as it reports  financial
results  which  show the  Company's  stockholders'  equity  to be less  than the
liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 1999 the
Company's   stockholders'   equity  was  approximately   $4.3  million  and  the
liquidation preference on the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
was  approximately  $7.9  million.  As a result,  the Company is unable to incur
additional  debt under its credit  facility or from other sources at the present
time.

Due to the Company's existing current working capital  deficiency,  required pay
downs under its credit  facility  and the  restrictions  imposed by the Series A
Preferred  Stock,  management  is  exploring a number of  alternatives  that are
directed toward making the Company  profitable and improving its liquidity.  The
principal strategies include:

     1)  raising   additional capital through the issuance of equity securities;
         or a combination of equity and subordinated debt;

     2)  acquisition  of  value  enhancing  oil and gas  properties  that  offer
         additional development opportunities and increased cash flow;

     3)  mergers and/or acquisitions by other entities;

     4)  reducing operating costs;

     5)  sale of certain oil and gas properties;

     6)  renegotiation   or  amendment  of the  Company's  credit  facility  and
         capital structure

As with any plan of this nature,  its ultimate  realization will depend upon the
cooperation  of  creditors,  potential  investors and others.  As a result,  the
outcome of the plan cannot presently be determined and no adjustments related to
the  specific  considerations  of  management's  plan  have  been  made  in  the
accompanying   consolidated  financial  statements.   Should  the  plan  not  be
completed,  the Company may not be able to  liquidate  liabilities  as they come
due. In addition,  the Company's current  liquidity  situation and its agreement
with Compass Bank have  resulted in a  suspension  of new drilling  expenditures
until  such  time as  certain  aforementioned  principle  strategies  have  been
effected.  The Company incurred $1,512,000 in capital  expenditures in the three
months ended March 31, 1999, related primarily to recompletion of existing wells
and maintenance of existing leases.


Year 2000
- ---------

The Company is in the process of assessing the ability of its various electronic
operating  systems,  and those of significant  third parties,  to  appropriately
consider  periods  and dates after  December  31,  1999.  The  Company's  senior
financial  management has taken  responsibility for identifying,  addressing and
monitoring its Year 2000 issues. These individuals report to the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors on a periodic basis. For Company systems identified as
not being Year 2000 compliant,  the Company has developed plans to correct these
systems  and  expects to be  compliant  on the  systems by the end of the second
quarter of 1999.


                                       13
<PAGE>

As for third  parties  with which the Company has a material  relationship,  the
Company is in  various  stages of  discussions  and  conclusions  related to the
ability  of those  third  parties to become  compliant  and the  related  timing
thereof.

The  estimated  costs  associated  with  becoming  Year 2000  compliant  are not
expected to be material to the Company.

The Company has begun,  but not yet completed,  a comprehensive  analysis of the
operational  problems  and costs  (including  loss of  revenues)  that  would be
reasonably  likely to result from the  failure by the Company and certain  third
parties to complete efforts necessary to achieve Year 2000 compliance  timely. A
contingency  plan has not been  developed  for dealing with the most  reasonably
likely  worst  case  scenario,  and  such  scenario  has  not yet  been  clearly
identified.   The  Company   currently  plans  to  complete  such  analysis  and
contingency planning by the end of the second quarter of 1999.

The  failure  to  correct  a  material  Year  2000  problem  could  result in an
interruption   in,  or  failure  of,  certain  normal  business   activities  or
operations.  Such failures could  materially and adversely  affect the Company's
results of  operations,  liquidity and financial  condition.  Due to the general
uncertainty  inherent  in the Year  2000  problem,  resulting  in part  from the
uncertainty of the Year 2000  readiness of third-party  suppliers and customers,
the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year
2000  failures  will  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's  results  of
operations,  liquidity or financial  condition.  The Company's Year 2000 efforts
are expected to  significantly  reduce the Company's level of uncertainty  about
the Year 2000 problem. The Company believes that, with the implementation of new
business  systems  and  completion  of  the  various  above-mentioned  tasks  as
scheduled,  the  possibility of  interruptions  to normal  operations  should be
significantly reduced.


Stock Listing
- -------------

The Company has been notified by the NASDAQ Stock Market that it may not be able
to sustain compliance with certain of the Market's listing  requirements for its
Series A Preferred  Stock.  The Company  plans to submit a business  plan to the
Market in response to the notice.


Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statement
- ----------------------------------------------

Certain  statements  in this  quarterly  report  on Form 10-Q  regarding  future
expectations and plans for future activities may be regarded as "forward looking
statements"  within the meaning of Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of
1995. They are subject to various risks,  such as financial  market  conditions,
operating hazards, drilling risks and the inherent uncertainties in interpreting

                                       14

engineering  data relating to underground  accumulations of oil and gas, as well
as other risks  discussed in detail in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K
and other  filings with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Although the
Company  believes  that  the  expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking
statements are reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct.
