DLB OIL & GAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DLB Oil & Gas, Inc. (DLB or the Company) engages primarily in the
exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas fields. The
Company focuses its efforts and is an active explorer in Oklahoma and
Kansas. The Company also engages to a lesser extent, in the gathering,
processing, transportation and marketing of hydrocarbons and conducts
secondary oil recovery activities.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements covering periods prior
to July 20, 1995, the date of the merger of Davidson Oil and Gas, Inc.
(Davidson) into DLB, include each of their accounts and their
proportionate share of a venture involved in the production of oil and
natural gas and in the gathering, processing and transporting of natural
gas. Due to the nature of a joint venture agreement between the Company
and Davidson, the Company and Davidson were considered to be under common
control prior to the merger.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements covering periods on or
after July 20, 1995, include the consolidated accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its proportionate share of a venture
involved in the production of oil and natural gas and in the gathering,
processing and transporting of natural gas. (See Note 8 to Consolidated
Financial Statements). All intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.
(2) INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On July 25, 1995, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock
through a public offering at $10 per share. Net proceeds to the Company
from the offering, after selling and offering costs, were $26,896,000. The
Company used $11,231,000 of these proceeds to retire then existing
indebtedness under its revolving line of credit facilities.

(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes included in DLB's 1995 annual report on
Form 10-K.
In the opinion of DLB's management, all adjustments (all of which are
normal and recurring) have been made which are necessary to fairly state
the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as
of September 30, 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
and 1995.
(4) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company acquired senior
unsecured notes with a face value of $19,519,000 in open market
transactions for $6,584,000. The notes were issued by an oil and gas
company that had previously filed for Chapter 11 reorganization.
These notes are being carried at cost which approximates market value.
(5) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
PROPERTIES ACQUIRED
On May 31, 1996, the Company closed the purchase of certain Oklahoma oil
and natural gas properties from Amerada Hess Corporation ("Amerada Hess")
for approximately $33,300,000. The purchase price is subject to
post-closing price adjustments for assets-related revenues and costs and
is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
Company funded the purchase through existing cash funds and borrowings of
$30,000,000 from its existing credit facilities.

<PAGE> 9
DLB OIL & GAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)
The acquired properties consist of 44 oil and natural gas fields, nine of
which the Company will operate, and 1,196 gross (111.8 net) wells. Total
estimated proved reserves as of January 1, 1996, net to the Company, are
7.2 Mmboe, which increases the company's total estimated proved reserves
as of that date to 16.6 Mmboe. Proved reserves attributable to the
acquired properties are divided approximately 43% oil and 57% natural gas.
The following table for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, has been
prepared under the assumption the purchase occurred on January 1, 1996.

(6) INCOME TAXES
Prior to the merger and initial public offering, the Company and Davidson
filed separate income tax returns as Subchapter S corporations under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's S election
terminated upon the merger and initial public offering. As a result of the
Company's termination of the S election, the Company recognized a charge
against operations in the amount of $11,500,000 for deferred income taxes
during the third quarter of 1995. The charge represented the tax effect of
the difference between the financial statement carrying values and the
income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities on the date the S
election was terminated.
Tax strategies implemented by the shareholders prior to the merger are not
reflective of the results that the Company would have achieved if the
Company had been directly subject to income taxes. Subsequent to the
offering, the results of operations reflect a deferred provision for
income tax expense at a blended rate of approximately 37.7%.
(7) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Effective with the merger of the Company and Davidson, the capital
structure of the Company consisted of 130,000,000 authorized common shares
($.001 par value) with 10,000,000 shares outstanding along with 5,000,000
authorized preferred shares with no preferred shares outstanding. The
former shareholders of DLB and Davidson hold 10,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. For financial reporting purposes, combined
shareholder's equity at the date of the merger was converted into the
Company's common stock and additional paid-in-capital.
As detailed in Note 2, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock
through a public offering at $10 per share.
On February 7, 1996, the Company announced a common stock repurchase plan.
Under the terms of the plan, up to $5,000,000 of common stock can be
repurchased from time to time. On February 7, 1996, approximately 25,000
shares were repurchased for $181,000. Repurchased stock is held as
treasury stock by the Company. The repurchase plan expired under its own
terms on August 5, 1996.
In connection with the public offering, the Company issued stock options
covering 1,625,000 shares of common stock to its employees. Options for
1,300,000 shares vest and are exercisable at $10 per share in 20 equal
quarterly installments which commenced with the quarter ended October 31,
1995. The remaining 325,000 options vest in five
10
<PAGE> 11
DLB OIL & GAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)
equal annual installments commencing January 1, 1996 and are exercisable
at $10 per share. As of September 30, 1996, 325,000 options have vested
and are exercisable.
(8) SETTLEMENT OF CONTINGENCY
In February 1996, the Company settled claims that had been submitted to
arbitration against a joint venture partner alleging breach of contract
and tortuous conduct. The claims arose under the terms of the Carmen Field
Joint Venture Agreement dated May 26, 1993, between the Company and Magic
Circle Acquisition Corporation ("Magic Circle"). The Company settled its
claims by the agreement dated February 9, 1996. The settlement agreement
provided for mutual releases of all claims arising out of the Carmen Field
Joint Venture ("CFJV"), dissolution of the CFJV, assignment to the Company
of its interest in the CFJV oil and natural gas properties, the payment of
$3,349,000 to the Company, the transfer to the Company of its share of a
small gathering system in Stephens County, Oklahoma, and the transfer to
Magic Circle of gathering, processing and compression facilities in
Alfalfa and Woodward Counties, Oklahoma. The Company recognized a net loss
of $208,000, which included $212,000 of legal and accounting expenses,
related to the transfer of the gathering, processing and compression
facilities.
(9) OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
An interest owner in the Amerada Hess properties filed a lawsuit against
Amerada Hess and the Company for denying the interest owner's election of
preferential purchase rights on certain leases included in the Amerada
Hess properties. The interest owner is seeking performance of its election
of the preferential purchase rights from the Company. Amerada Hess and the
Company have asserted that the interest owner's election to exercise its
preferential rights was not valid.
If DLB is unsuccessful in defending its position on the claim asserted by
the interest owner, DLB would receive an additional $1,765,000 from the
interest owner for the leases. The Company would also be required to
reimburse the interest owner for revenues received on the respective
leases, net of production costs. The Company does not anticipate that this
legal action would significantly impact its financial position, liquidity,
or results of operations.
At the present time, as the Company deems these claims invalid, the
Company has recognized the results of the oil and natural gas properties
in the accompanying financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the
Company's financial position as of September 30, 1996, and its results of
operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
and September 30, 1995. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
included in this report contain additional information and should be referred
to in conjunction with this discussion. It is presumed that the readers have
read or have access to DLB's 1995 annual report on Form 10-K.
The information in this report includes forward-looking statements, which
are based on assumptions that in the future may prove to be inaccurate. The
statements may relate to anticipated financial performance or expenditures,
drilling or production activities, oil and gas reserve recoveries or similar
future matters. The statements, and the Company's business and prospects, are
subject to a number of risks including the volatility of oil and gas prices,
environmental risks, operation hazards and risks, risks related to exploration
and development drilling, uncertainties about estimates of reserves,
competition, government regulation, and the ability of the Company to implement
its business strategy. Further explanation of these risks is set forth under
the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's prospectus dated July 25, 1995,
which section is incorporated within this report.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were
$8.0 million, an increase of $2.5 million from the comparable period in 1995.
The $3.3 million increase in oil and gas sales revenue was slightly offset by
the $0.6 million decrease in revenue related to the dissolution of the CFJV.
(See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) The dissolution resulted
in the sale of certain gas gathering and compression assets, which reduced gas
gathering, processing and transportation revenues to $0.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $0.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase in oil and gas sales revenues for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, of $3.3 million was primarily due to the
acquisition of the Amerada Hess properties. Production of oil and gas was 183
Mbbl and 1,663 Mmcf, respectively, in the three months ended September 30,
1996, as compared to 181 Mbbl and 847 Mmcf, respectively, in the same period of
1995. On a BOE basis, production increased 43%. The average price received for
oil increased to $20.88 per barrel for the three months ended September 30,
1996 from $16.50 in the three months ended September 30, 1995. The average
price received for natural gas increased to $2.35 per Mcf in the three months
ended September 30, 1996 from $1.69 per Mcf for the same period in 1995.
Management anticipates continuing increases in revenue as a result of the
Amerada Hess acquisition.
Lease operating expense. Lease operating expenses increased to $2.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $1.1 million for the comparable
period in 1995 primarily due to an increase in lease operating expenses from
the operation of the Amerada Hess properties. On a BOE basis, lease operating
expense was $5.05 per BOE for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to $3.55 per BOE in the same period in 1995. In the longer term,
management anticipates lower lease operating expense per BOE through the
implementation of more efficient operations and additional exploitation of the
properties.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Depreciation, depletion and
amortization (DD&A) expense was $2.9 million and $1.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The DD&A rate related
to oil and gas properties was $5.91 and $5.18 per BOE for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in DD&A per BOE
resulted primarily from an increased level of capital expenditures for property
acquisitions as well as for exploration, development, waterfloods, gas plant
and gathering facilities and other property and equipment in the three months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 1995.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense
increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, from
$0.4 million in the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily
attributable to staffing increases and additional corporate expenses to handle
higher levels of activity following the July 1995 initial public offering and
$33.3 million acquisition of properties from Amerada Hess on May 31, 1996.
14
<PAGE> 15
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $0.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $0.1 million in the same period
of 1995 as a result of an increase in the average debt balance outstanding. The
average debt balance outstanding increased to $30.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $3.8 million in the same period of 1995,
due to the acquisition of the Amerada Hess properties.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax expense for the three months ended September
30, 1995 included a $11.5 million charge for a required change in tax status
from a S Corporation (which is not taxed directly) to a C Corporation (which is
taxed directly). (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Net income (loss). On a recurring basis, net income decreased 15% to $1.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $1.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 primarily as a result of a decrease in
gas gathering, processing and transportation revenues due to the dissolution of
the CFJV. The Company recognized a nonrecurring charge of $11.5 million for
deferred income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 1995. As a
result of the nonrecurring item, net income increased to $1.1 million for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 from a loss of $10.1 million in the
comparable period of 1995.

<PAGE> 16
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$18.7 million, an increase of $2.0 million from the comparable period in 1995.
Production of oil and gas was 479 MBbl and 3,606 MMcf, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to 553 MBbl and 2,244 MMcf,
respectively, for the same period of 1995. The increase in oil and gas revenues
was due to the acquisition of the Amerada Hess properties and an increase in
product prices. Gas volumes increased to 3,606 MMcf for the first nine months
of 1996 from 2,244 Mmcf for the comparable period in 1995. Increases in gas
production offset decreases in oil production on a BOE basis. The average price
received for oil increased to $20.20 per barrel in the first nine months of
1996 from $17.41 per barrel in the comparable period in 1995. The average price
received for natural gas was $2.23 per Mcf for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to $1.77 per Mcf for the same period during 1995. A $1.8
million decrease in revenues from gathering, dehydration and compression fees,
was primarily due to the dissolution of the CFJV. (See Note 8 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.) Management anticipates continuing increases
in revenues as a result of the Amerada Hess acquisition.
Lease operating expense. Lease operating expenses increased to $5.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $3.6 million in the comparable
period of 1995 primarily due to an increase in lease operating expenses from
the operation of the Amerada Hess properties. On a BOE basis, lease operating
expense was $4.74 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared
to $3.87 per BOE in the comparable period of 1995. In the longer term,
management anticipates lower lease operating expenses per BOE through the
implementation of more efficient operations and additional exploitation of the
properties.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. DD&A expense for the first
nine months of 1996 totaled $6.7 million compared with $5.3 million for the
same period in 1995. The DD&A rate increased to $5.80 per BOE for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, from $5.19 per BOE for the comparable period
of 1995. The increase in DD&A per BOE resulted primarily from an increased
level of capital expenditures for property acquisitions as well as for
exploration, development, waterfloods, gas gathering facilities and other
property and equipment in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to 1995.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense
increased to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, from
$1.0 million for the comparable period in 1995. This increase was primarily
attributable to staffing increases and additional corporate expenses to handle
higher levels of activity following the July 1995 initial public offering and
$33.3 million acquisition of properties from Amerada Hess on May 31, 1996.
16
<PAGE> 17
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $0.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $0.5 million for the same period
of 1995 as a result of an increase in the average debt which was partially
offset by a decrease in the average annualized interest rate. The average debt
balance outstanding increased to $14.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $7.6 million in the same period of 1995, due to the
acquisition of the Amerada Hess properties. The average annualized interest
rate on debt outstanding was 7.4% for the nine months ending September 30, 1996
as compared to 8.6% for the same period in 1995.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 included a $11.5 million charge for a required change in tax status
from a S Corporation (which is not taxed directly) to a C Corporation (which is
taxed directly). (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Net income (loss). On a recurring basis, net income decreased 34% to $2.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $3.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 primarily from a $1.8 million decrease in
natural gas gathering, processing and transportation revenues. The Company
incurred a nonrecurring charge of $11.5 million for deferred income tax expense
in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. As a result of this item, net
income increased to $2.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996 from a loss of $5.8 million in the comparable period of 1995.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The following table presents comparative cash flows of the Company for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995.

Net cash used in investing activities (50,955) (10,846)
Net cash provided by financing activities 31,819 17,595
</TABLE>
Net cash provided from operating activities increased to $9.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $8.5 million from the same period of
1995. This increase of $1.1 million relates primarily to changes in components
of working capital (accounts receivable and accounts payable increases
associated with increased operations).
Net cash used in investing activities was $51.0 million for the first nine
months of 1996, as compared to $10.8 million in the first nine months of 1995.
The increase of $40.2 million is primarily attributable to the $31.9 million
Amerada Hess properties acquisition. (See Notes 4 and 5 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
Net cash provided by financing activities was $31.8 million for the first nine
months of 1996 as compared to $17.6 million in 1995. The increase of $14.2
million is due to the $30.0 million of long term borrowing related to the
funding of the Amerada Hess properties acquisition.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company had cash balances of $4.8 million and
working capital of $11.9 million. The decrease in working capital of $7.2
million as of September 30, 1996 from $19.1 million as of December 31, 1995, is
a result of capital expenditures made during the first nine months of 1996, as
the Company has utilized the proceeds from the July, 1995 equity offering.
Capital expenditures. The following table sets forth the Company's expenditures
for exploration, development, waterfloods and property acquisition, gas plant
and gathering facilities and other property and equipment for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

The Company finances its capital expenditures with cash flows provided by
operations and borrowings under the credit facility. The Company expects to
spend a total of $60.0 million on capital expenditures in 1996. Of this amount,
$45.7 million had been expended as of September 30, 1996, which includes $1.0
million related to the Osage Tribe of Indians Exploration and Development
Agreement, $31.9 million related to the Amerada Hess properties acquisition, and
$12.8 million related to seismic surveys and other drilling activity. In
addition, the Company has expended $6.6 million for senior unsecured notes
issued by an unrelated oil and gas company. (See Note 4 to Consolidated
Financial Statements.) The remaining budget of $7.7 million will be used for 2-D
and 3-D seismic surveys, drilling activity and the acquisition of other mineral
interests and leasehold properties. The aggregate level of capital expenditures
in 1996 and the allocation thereof is highly dependent upon the Company's
success rate on exploration drilling and prevailing conditions in the oil and
gas industry. Accordingly, the actual level of capital expenditures may vary
materially from the above estimates.
DLB acquired the Amerada Hess properties on May 31, 1996, for $31.9 million,
which represents the largest capital expenditure in 1996. The Company's
operational plan to maximize these asset values commenced in August of 1996.
Therefore, only a few months of activity related to this acquisition are
reflected in results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. Management's plan should result in increased operational activity and
cash flow. The Company also invested $6.6 million for senior unsecured notes
that do not currently generate cash flow. Management believes the cash flow
effect of this expenditure will begin to be reflected in 1997.
Capital resources. From DLB's commencement of operations in 1991 until
mid-1995, the Company's cash requirements were met primarily through capital
contributions from shareholders, cash generated from operations and borrowings
under its credit facilities. By mid-1995, these sources were inadequate to fund
the Company's desired level of activities, and the Company undertook an initial
public offering of its common stock, which was closed in July 1995. Net
proceeds from the offering were $26.9 million. Since its initial public
offering and prior to the Amerada Hess acquisition, the Company used offering
proceeds along with cash flows from operations to fund its cash requirements.
In anticipation of the acquisition of properties from Amerada Hess, the Company
increased the borrowing base under its credit facility to $30.0 million from a
borrowing base of $20.0 million and used the increased base to partially fund
the acquisition. (See Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.) In
addition, the proved oil and gas reserves added by this acquisition increased
the Company's borrowing base under its credit facility to provide another $20.0
million of borrowing capacity for a total of $50.0 million of borrowing
capacity. The Company expects that internal cash sources and borrowing capacity
to be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure plans. Ultimately, capital
needs will depend substantially on the Company's success in employing working
capital in exploration and development activities and the level of future
activities as well as factors affecting the oil and gas industry generally.
19
<PAGE> 20
Liquidity. The ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations will depend
upon its future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic
conditions and to financial and business conditions and other factors, many of
which are beyond its control, supplemented, if necessary, with existing cash
balances and borrowings under the credit facilities. The Company believes its
capital resources are adequate to fund the capital expenditure programs.
