ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF PRODUCING PROPERTIES

On July 22, 1999 the Company acquired Range Resources Corporation's interest in
the Hagist Ranch Field located in Duval and McMullen Counties, Texas for
approximately $5.4 million. The acquisition, which is effective July 1, 1999,
will add approximately 10.1 Bcf of gas and 238 Mbbl of condensate to the
Company's reserves. The acquired wells currently produce approximately 2,400 Mcf
gas per day and 60 barrels of condensate per day. Texoil operates the field and
has 100% working interest with net revenue interest ranging from 81.2% to
87.5%.The addition of this property increases the Company's total estimated
reserves, as of July1, 1999, to 48.4 Bcf of gas and 11.3 MMBbl and of oil with
an estimated discounted present value (SEC PV10%) of $95.3 million, based on
Nymex prices on June 30, 1999, adjusted for differentials. The properties were
purchased as proved producing assets. The transaction was financed entirely with
bank debt under an existing credit agreement. Participating banks are Comerica
Bank - Texas and First Union National Bank.
