ITEM 5.        OTHER EVENTS

               RIMCO FINANCING. On September 6, 1996, Texoil, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Texoil
Company ("Subsidiary"), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with four limited
partnerships of which Resource Investors Management Company Limited Partnership
("RIMCO") is the controlling general partner (the "RIMCO Agreement"). Under the
RIMCO Agreement, the lenders have agreed to provide up to $8,000,000 in two
separate financings to fund Subsidiary's 3-D seismic exploration program. In
connection with the RIMCO financing, the Company's Board of Directors expanded
the number of directors to seven and elected Gary J. Milavec, a Vice President
of RIMCO's controlling general partner RIMCO Associates, Inc., to fill the
vacancy created thereby until the next annual stockholders' meeting. To date,
Subsidiary has borrowed $200,000 from the RIMCO lenders which is exchangeable
for 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share
("Common Stock") or approximately 6% of outstanding Common Stock. Proceeds were
used to repay indebtedness of the Company to one of its directors, Joe C.
Richardson, Jr., as discussed further below.

        The first financing under the RIMCO Agreement is in the form of Senior
Exchangeable General Obligation Notes issued by the Subsidiary in the maximum
amount of $3,000,000 (the "Exchangeable Notes"). The Company intends that
proceeds from this financing be used primarily to fund leasehold, drilling and
completion costs for Subsidiary's Raceland and Greens Lake Prospects in
Lafourche Parish, Louisiana and Galveston County, Texas, respectively, on which
3-D seismic data acquisition now is completed. The second financing is in the
form of Senior Secured General Obligation Notes (the "Senior Notes") issued by
Subsidiary in the maximum amount of $5,000,000. The Company intends that
proceeds from the second financing be used primarily to fund future leasehold,
drilling and completion costs for the Laurel Grove Prospects in Lafourche
Parish, Louisiana, subsequent wells in the Raceland and Greens Lake Prospects,
and up-front land and other costs associated with new 3-D seismic projects.

        Under the RIMCO Agreement, Subsidiary may borrow under the Exchangeable
Notes until September 1, 1997. The Exchangeable Notes will mature September 1,
1999. Amounts advanced under the Exchangeable Notes will accrue interest at a
fixed, annual rate of 10%, with interest payable monthly and all outstanding
principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest due and payable at maturity.
Indebtedness outstanding under the Exchangeable Notes is exchangeable, in whole
or in part, for Common Stock at an initial per share price equal to $.80,
subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Subsidiary can require the RIMCO lenders
to make such an exchange if they have funded at least $2,800,000 and the average
trading price of the Common Stock for any consecutive 20-day trading period is
$3.00 or more. The Company granted the RIMCO lenders certain registration rights
in respect of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of debt under the
Exchangeable Notes.

        After $2,800,000 in principal has been advanced under the Exchangeable
Notes, Subsidiary may borrow under the Senior Notes until September 1, 1999. The
Senior Notes will mature September 1, 2002. Amounts advanced under the Senior
Notes will accrue interest at a fixed, annual rate of 10%, with interest and
principal paid monthly from certain revenues generated by the assets pledged to
RIMCO to secure the notes. Advances under the Senior Notes for future drilling
and completion costs will be contingent upon Subsidiary maintaining an agreed
upon borrowing base. Obligations under the Exchangeable Notes and the Senior
Notes are secured by all of the existing and future oil and gas assets of
Subsidiary, and the Company guarantees Subsidiary's obligations thereunder. In
addition, the RIMCO lenders will receive an assignment of a 1.0% of 8/8ths
overriding royalty interest, proportionately reduced to the interest of
Subsidiary, in all wells drilled and/or completed with proceeds from the Senior
Notes.

        1996 DIRECTOR LOANS. In May 1996, four directors of the Company loaned
it an aggregate $1,100,000. Each loan was made pursuant to a promissory note
bearing interest at an annual rate of 12%, maturing May 6, 1997, and convertible
at the option of the lender into shares of Common Stock at a price of $.80 per
share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Each note was guaranteed by
Subsidiary and the guaranty was secured by substantially all of Subsidiary's
assets. The lenders also were issued warrants exercisable until May 2001 for an
aggregate 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.3125 per share, subject to
anti-dilution adjustments. The four lenders were T. W. Hoehn, Jr., who loaned
$550,000 and received a warrant exercisable for 550,000 shares; T. W. Hoehn,
III, who loaned $300,000 and received a warrant exercisable for 300,000 shares;
Joe C. Richardson, Jr., Trustee UDT 5-17-91, as amended, who loaned $200,000 and
received a warrant exercisable for 200,000 shares; and William F. Seagle, who
loaned $50,000 and received a warrant exercisable for 50,000 shares. The lenders
were granted certain registration rights in respect of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise or conversion of the warrants or convertible notes.
Proceeds of the loans were used to fund the Company's share of 3-D seismic
survey costs associated with its exploration projects in progress in Lafourche
Parish, Louisiana and Galveston County, Texas, and for general corporate
purposes. Loan proceeds also were used to pay the March 31, 1996 dividend of
$69,000 on the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, all of which is
held by lending director Mr. Hoehn, Jr. and his son Robert A. Hoehn, and to
repay the Company's remaining indebtedness of approximately $260,000 to First
Interstate Bank of Texas, N.A. which was guaranteed by Mr. Hoehn, Jr.

        In connection with the RIMCO financing, the $200,000 owed to Joe C.
Richardson, Jr., Trustee, UDT 5-17-91, as amended, was repaid in September 1996.
The notes payable to T. W. Hoehn, Jr., T. W. Hoehn, III, and William F. Seagle,
respectively, were canceled and replaced by Replacement 12% Convertible
Promissory Notes dated September 6, 1996 (the "Replacement Notes"), which are
convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $.80
per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, and which mature upon the
earlier to occur of October 1, 2002 and the date occurring 30 days after the
RIMCO debt has been paid in full or exchanged for Common Stock. The Replacement
Note to each of T. W. Hoehn, Jr. is in the amount of $550,000, to T. W. Hoehn,
III is in the amount of $300,000, and to William F. Seagle is in the amount of
$50,000. Interest on each of the Replacement Notes accrues at a fixed rate of
12% per annum and monthly payments of interest are due on the 10th day of each
month. Although no prepayments of principal are permitted, the Company may
require these lenders to convert the outstanding principal amount under their
Replacement Notes into Common Stock if at least $2,800,000 has been funded by
the RIMCO lenders and the average trading price of the Common Stock for any
consecutive 20-day trading period is $3.00 or more, or the Company requires the
RIMCO lenders to exchange Subsidiary's indebtedness to them for Common Stock.
The Company granted certain registration rights to Messrs. Hoehn, Hoehn and
Seagle in respect of shares of Common Stock into which their Replacement Notes
may be converted. As part of the restructuring of the May 1996 debt evidenced by
the Replacement Notes, the warrants, registration rights and Subsidiary guaranty
issued and granted in May 1996 were canceled. These lenders and Wells Fargo Bank
(Texas), N.A. (f/k/a First Interstate Bank of Texas, N.A.) released all liens
against the assets of the Company or Subsidiary.

        The Company's performance of obligations under the Replacement Notes are
subordinate to performance of obligations under the RIMCO financings. In this
regard, the Company, with the consent of both holders of all of the Company's
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, amended the Certificate of Stock
Designation covering the Series A Preferred Stock to provide that the annual
cumulative dividends of $12 per share are payable only if, as and when declared
by the Company's Board of Directors, provided that Board has no obligation to
declare such dividends before October 1, 2002. Before the amendment, such
dividends were payable quarterly.

        OTHER AFFILIATE LOANS. Nine individuals, some of whom are stockholders
of the Company, have made interim debt financing available to the Company for
working capital purposes. All of these loans have been repaid, except those made
by the Company's Chairman, T. W. Hoehn, Jr., as discussed below. During 1993 and
January 1994, the Company borrowed an aggregate $1,837,500 from these
individuals, $100,000 of which the Company repaid in October 1993. In accordance
with the terms of the underlying notes, as amended, $800,000 of such borrowings
were repaid by the Company in June 1994 in connection with consummation of a
public offering by the Company of its securities ("Public Offering"), resulting
in a balance of $937,500 which was due December 31, 1994. Of such amount,
$100,000 was repaid by the due date, and the holders of notes aggregating
$837,500 agreed to extend the maturity thereof. In February 1995, the Company
repaid an additional $25,000 of such loans, reducing the outstanding amount at
March 31, 1995 to $812,500. Each interim loan was evidenced by a promissory note
bearing interest at an annual rate of 2% over the prime rate charged by the
Company's bank lender, First Interstate Bank of Texas, N.A. Pursuant to these
notes, the Company issued to the interim lenders warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 154,375 shares of Common Stock exercisable at any time before May
27, 1996 at a per share price of $3.00, being the price attributable to one
share of Common Stock in the Public Offering. All warrants expired unexercised.
Two of the nine interim lenders were William F. Seagle and Joe C. Richardson,
Jr., each of whom is a director of the Company and loaned $25,000 (repaid in
February 1995) and $12,500 (repaid in March 1996), respectively. Another interim
lender was the wife of Walter L. Williams, a director of the Company. She loaned
$50,000 to the Company which was repaid in June 1996. Betty Ann Hoehn Garrison
and Peter R. Garrison, the daughter and former son-in-law of T. W. Hoehn, Jr.,
also were among the Company's interim lenders, each of whom loaned $150,000. Of
the aggregate amount owed to Ms. Garrison, $50,000 was repaid in June 1994 from
Public Offering proceeds and the balance subsequently paid in full during 1994.
Mr. Garrison's loan was repaid in full from the proceeds of the Public Offering.
The Company also borrowed $100,000 from Hart Brown, Mr. Williams' father-in-law,
in 1995 on substantially the same terms as the other bridge loans, except no
warrants were issued in connection therewith. Mr. Brown's loan was repaid in
June 1996.

        One of the nine interim lenders is the Company's Chairman, T. W. Hoehn,
Jr., from whom the Company has borrowed an aggregate $1,450,000 at various times
since 1993 (in addition to his $550,000 loan discussed above and $50,000 loan
discussed below). Of this $1,450,000 in loans, $400,000 was repaid in June 1994
and $50,000 was repaid in March 1996. The remaining $1,000,000 now is evidenced
by a promissory note which is dated September 1, 1996, matures upon the earlier
to occur of October 1, 2002 and 30 days after the RIMCO debt has been paid in
full or exchanged for Common Stock, accrues interest at a variable rate equal to
2% plus the prime rate announced by Wells Fargo Bank (Texas), N.A., is payable
to the T .W. Hoehn, Jr. and Betty Jo Hoehn Revocable Trust, and is subordinate
to the RIMCO financing. Monthly interest payments are due on the 10th day of
each month and scheduled quarterly principal payments may be made if certain
liquidity conditions are satisfied and after the first $2,800,000 of the RIMCO
loans have been funded. Unpaid quarterly principal payments are cumulative and
amounts in excess of the scheduled quarterly payments may be paid if the
liquidity conditions are satisfied.

        In June 1996, the Company borrowed $50,000 from Opal Air, Inc., a
company owned by T. W. Hoehn, Jr. This loan is evidenced by a promissory note
from the Company to Opal Air, Inc. dated September 1, 1996, which matures on the
same date and is otherwise subject to substantially the same terms as the
Company's September 1996 $1,000,000 note to the T. W. Hoehn, Jr. and Betty Jo
Hoehn Revocable Trust.
