ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

      EXISTING 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 (the "RIMCO
Agreement") with four limited partnerships of which Resource Investors
Management Company Limited Partnership ("RIMCO") is the controlling general
partner (collectively, the "RIMCO Purchasers"). Under the RIMCO Agreement, the
RIMCO Purchasers provide up to $8,000,000 in two separate financings:

      (a) 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 "Tranche A Notes"). Amounts advanced
      under the Tranche A Notes 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 Tranche A Notes is exchangeable, in whole or in
      part, for The Company's common stock ("Common Stock") at an initial per
      share price equal to $.80, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
      Subsidiary can require the RIMCO Purchasers 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 Purchasers certain registration rights in
      respect of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of debt under the
      Tranche A Notes.

      (b) The second financing is in the form of Senior Secured General
      Obligation Notes (the "Tranche B Notes") issued by Subsidiary in the
      maximum amount of $5,000,000. After $2,800,000 in principal has been
      advanced under the Tranche A Notes, Subsidiary may borrow under the
      Tranche B Notes until September 1, 1999. The Tranche B Notes will mature
      September 1, 2002. Amounts advanced under the Tranche B 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 the RIMCO
      Purchasers to secure the notes.

      NEW RIMCO FINANCING. On May 21, 1997, the Company and the Subsidiary
entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with the RIMCO
Purchasers ("Amended RIMCO Agreement"). Under the Amended RIMCO Agreement, the
RIMCO Purchasers continue to provide the up to $8,000,000 agreed upon under the
RIMCO Agreement. In addition, the RIMCO Purchasers will provide an additional
$1,500,000 in a separate financing. Under this new financing, Subsidiary has
issued 10% Senior Secured Exchangeable General Obligation Notes in the aggregate
original principal amount of $1,500,000 to the RIMCO Purchasers in various
amounts (collectively, the "Tranche C Notes"). After $3,000,000 in principal has
been advanced under the Tranche A Notes, Subsidiary may borrow under the Tranche
C Notes. The Tranche C Notes will mature September 1, 1999. Amounts advanced
under the Tranche C Notes will accrue interest at a fixed, annual rate of 10%,
with interest paid monthly and all outstanding principal plus all accrued and
unpaid interest due and payable at maturity. Indebtedness outstanding under the
Tranche C Notes is exchangeable, in whole or in part, for Common Stock at an
initial per share price equal to $1.50, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
Subsidiary can require the RIMCO Purchasers to make such an exchange if they
have funded at least $1,350,000 under the Tranche C Notes and the average
trading price of Common Stock for any consecutive 20-day trading period is $3.00
or more. The Company granted the RIMCO Purchasers certain registration rights in
respect of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of debt under the 
Tranche C Notes.

      The proceeds of the Tranche C Notes are to be used to pay for the
Company's share of drilling and completion costs for the initial well to be
drilled on each of Raceland Prospect and the Green's Lake Prospect (or for such
other purpose as may be consented to in writing by the RIMCO Purchasers).

      Under the RIMCO Agreement, the proceeds of the Tranche B Notes could be
used to pay the Company's share of costs to drill, test, complete, equip,
deepen, sidetrack and/or recomplete any well located on the Green's Lake
Prospect, the Laurel Grove Prospect and the Raceland Prospect OTHER THAN THE
FIRST WELL to be drilled by or on behalf of the Company on either of the Green's
Lake Prospect or the Raceland Prospect. The Amended RIMCO Agreement expands this
use of proceeds to permit Tranche B Proceeds to be used to pay the Company's
share of costs to drill, test, complete, equip, deepen, side track and/or
recomplete the first well to be drilled on the Raceland Prospect.

      Certain affiliate loans to the Company or the Subsidiary were made
expressly subordinate to the financings under the RIMCO Agreement. In connection
with the execution of the Amended RIMCO Agreement, all such indebtedness
previously made expressly subordinate to the Tranche A Notes and the Tranche B
Notes was also made expressly subordinate to the Tranche C Notes.
