INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and shareholders
Rio Grande, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating
expenses of the oil and gas property interests acquired from Fortune Petroleum
Corporation and Pendragon Resources, L.L.C. (collectively, the "Fortune
Properties") for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31,
1995. These statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these statements of revenues and direct operating expenses 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 statements of revenues and direct
operating expenses are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statements of
revenues and direct operating expenses. We believe that our audits of the
statements of revenues and direct operating expenses provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
The accompanying statements were prepared as described in Note I for the purpose
of complying with certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") for inclusion in certain SEC regulatory reports and filings
and are not intended to be a complete financial presentation.
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating
expenses present fairly the revenues and direct operating expenses of the
Fortune Properties for each of the years in the two-year period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

THE FORTUNE PROPERTIES
NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND
DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statements present the revenues and direct operating
expenses of the working interests in certain oil and gas properties
(the Fortune Properties) purchased by Rio Grande Drilling Company, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Rio Grande, Inc. (the Company) from Fortune
Petroleum Corporation and Pendragon Resources, L.L.C. (collectively,
"Fortune") during March 1996 for $900,000. Fortune acquired its
property interests from Petrofina S.A. (Fina) during December 1995. The
Fortune Properties are located in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses
were derived from the historical accounting records of the Fortune
Properties. Direct operating expenses include payroll, lease and well
repairs, maintenance and other direct operating expenses.
Omitted Historical Financial Information
Full historical financial statements, including exploration expense,
general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income tax
expense, have not been presented because they have not historically
been allocated at this level. Historical depletion expense has not been
included in such statements as the Company will adjust the basis in its
purchase price allocation and the historical depletion will no longer
be relevant.
Accrual Basis Statements
Memorandum adjustments have been made to the financial information
derived from the predecessor owner in order to present the accompanying
statements of revenues and direct operating expenses in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of revenues and direct operating
expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Related Party Transactions
All of the production from the Fortune Properties was sold to a
subsidiary of Fina during 1994 and 1995. Gas production was sold for
average prices of $1.69 and $2. 1 0 per Mcf during 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Oil production was sold for average prices of $15.23 and
$14.15 during 1995 and 1994, respectively.

2. Gas Balancing Positions
The Fortune Properties have an immaterial imbalance position as of
December 31, 1995. The entitlements method is used; therefore,
production imbalances are recorded at the sales price in effect at the
time of production. Substantially all of the imbalance position is
anticipated to be settled with production in future periods.
3. Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited)
Total proved and proved developed oil and gas reserves of the Fortune
Properties at December 31, 1995 have been estimated based on reserve
estimates prepared by Huddleston & Co., Inc. as of January 1, 1996. No
comparable estimates were available for prior periods. Therefore,
reserves for 1995 and 1994 have been calculated by adjusting the
January 1, 1996 amounts for prior period producing activities and,
consequently, no revisions of previous estimates have been reflected.
All reserve estimates are based on economic and operating conditions
existing at January 1, 1996. The future net cash flows from production
of these proved reserve quantities were computed by applying current
prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the
extent provided by contractual arrangements) as of January 1, 1996 to
estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves less the
estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) as of January 1,
1996, to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves.
Income taxes were calculated at statutory rates without consideration
of any remaining historical tax basis of the Fortune Properties. The
Fortune Properties are located in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
Exploration and development costs incurred during 1994 and 1995 are not
available.
